"Substantial Shareholder
The Company has been advised that its largest shareholder, NIPCO Plc ("NIPCO"), has yesterday purchased 59 million existing ordinary shares in the Company in the market. The Company announced on 30 December 2025 that NIPCO had acquired 148,314,064 existing ordinary shares pursuant to certain secondary market transactions, thereby increasing NIPCO's shareholding to approximately 26.5% of the Company's then issued share capital. As at today's date, whilst the majority of NIPCO's secondary market transactions have settled, certain of them, comprising approximately 48.15 million existing ordinary shares in aggregate, have yet to settle (the "Unsettled Purchases"). After taking account of yesterday's purchase, NIPCO is interested in 631,129,202 ordinary shares, and NIPCO's majority shareholder, Purebond Limited, is interested in 1,700,000 ordinary shares, in aggregate representing 29.84% of the Company's current issued share capital (including the shares in the Unsettled Purchases, which are anticipated to be delivered to NIPCO before the end of Q1 2026)."
