Basis of preparation of the financial statements The financial statements of the Company and the are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been adopted for use in the European Union. Due to the rounding of individual amounts to thousands of euros in the tables, the figures may not coincide; such rounding errors are insignificant in these financial statements.

Adoption of new and/or changed IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations Application of the Conceptual Framework to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) In the current year, the Company and the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2023. (a) Standards, amendments and interpretations effective on or after 1 January 2023. New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not effective for the period beginning 1 January 2023 and that have not been previously adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below: Amendments to IFRS 17 and IFRS 4: Deferral of the effective date of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for insurers (published on 25 June 2020, effective from 1 January 2023) The amendments to IFRS 17 shall be applied retrospectively for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023, although earlier application is permitted. The amendments are intended to assist entities in applying this standard. In particular, the amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying the application of some of the requirements of the standard, simplifying the interpretation of financial results and the transition to the application of the standard by delaying the effective date to 2023 and by providing an additional exemption that can be used for the first-time application of IFRS 17. The amendments to IFRS 4 change the expiry date of the temporary exemption from IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts, after which entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 in financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Management has assessed that the application of these amendments will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company. IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (published on 18 May 2017, effective from 1 January 2023 but not before EU endorsement). The Standard shall be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, although earlier application is permitted if IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are also applied. At its meeting in March 2020, the Board decided to postpone the effective date to 2023. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts entered into. It also requires similar principles to apply to existing reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with elements of discretionary participation. The aim is to ensure that entities report relevant information in a way that gives a fair presentation of those transactions. On the basis of such information, users of financial statements can assess the impact of such transactions on the entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows when IFRS 17 is applied. This standard will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Group and the Company because the Group and the Company do not provide insurance services. Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes - Deferred Tax on Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (published on 7 May 2021, effective from 1 January 2023) SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 14 The amendments require entities to recognise deferred tax on transactions that create equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of initial recognition. The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS 2 Statement of Practice Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments) (published on 12 February 2021, effective from 1 January 2023) The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments provide guidance for making significant accounting policy disclosure decisions. It should be noted that the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. In addition, the statement of practice provides guidance and an example to support the application of the concept of materiality in deciding whether to disclose an accounting policy. Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and mistakes - Definition of Accounting Estimates (published on 12 February 2021, effective from 1 January 2023) The Amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, which are defined as monetary amounts reported in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. The Amendments also clarify which and how changes in accounting estimates differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of mistakes. The amendments, which are effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023 (earlier application is permitted), apply to changes in accounting policies and accounting estimates that occur in that period or thereafter. (b) Standards and amendments to standards that have been endorsed but have not yet entered into force and have not been applied in advance Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (published on 23 January 2020, effective from 1 January 2024). The amendments aim to promote consistent application of the requirements by helping companies to decide whether debts and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change the existing requirements relating to the measurement or recognition of assets, liabilities, income or expenses and the information that entities disclose about those items. The amendments also clarify the requirement to classify debts when an entity may settle such debts using its own equity instruments. Management has not yet assessed the impact of applying these amendments. Amendments to IAS 1 on non-current liabilities with additional requirements (published on 31 October 2022, effective from 1 January 2024): Changes in the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current, and in the way in which the Company classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current, or in certain circumstances: only the additional requirements that the Company is required to comply with at or before the date of the financial statements have an impact on the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity shall disclose in the notes information that enables users of the financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with additional requirements may become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8; earlier application is also permitted. Management has not yet assessed the impact of applying these amendments. Amendments to IFRS 16 'Lease Liability on Sale and Leaseback', as amended, which clarifies how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that meet the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale (published on 22 September 2022, effective from 1 January 2024). The amendment to IFRS 6 on the sale and leaseback of a lease liability, which requires the seller-lessee to subsequently measure the lease liability arising from the leaseback so that it does not recognise any amount of gain or loss in respect of its right-of-use remains. The new requirements do not prohibit a vendor-lessee from recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss arising on the partial or complete termination of a lease. The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2024. Earlier application is also permitted. For sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application, a vendor-lessee shall apply the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and mistakes. Management has not yet assessed the impact of applying these amendments. Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Vendor Financing Arrangements (published in May 2023, effective from 1 January 2024, possible early adoption): Supplier financing arrangements supplement IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows by requiring an entity to disclose additional information about supplier financing arrangements. The amendments also add supplier financing arrangements as a model liquidity risk disclosure requirement in IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The EU has not yet endorsed these amendments. Management has not yet assessed the impact of applying these amendments. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 15 Amendments to IAS 21 - Temporary non-interchangeability of currencies (published in August 2023, effective from 1 January 2025, early adoption possible): Cases where the exchange of one currency for another is temporarily not possible complements IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and requires an entity to use a consistent approach to assess whether a currency is exchangeable for another currency, and, when the exchange of one currency for another is temporarily not possible, to determine the exchange rate to be used and to disclose the information. The EU has not yet endorsed these amendments. Management has not yet assessed the impact of applying these amendments. 2.2. Going concern These financial statements for the year 2023 have been prepared on the assumption that the Group and the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for a period of not less than one year, evaluating the following assumptions and risks: - To finance working capital, the Company plans successful sales of finished products and to continue cooperation only with reliable partners. Debts to suppliers are planned to be reduced from free circulating funds. - In the opinion of the Company's and the Group's management, the impact of the military conflict in Ukraine which began at the end of February 2022 (Note 32) is significant but not critical. Although, due to this conflict, the sale of the Company's products in one of the largest markets (Ukraine) was temporarily stopped and is now limited, new product groups and the Company's active actions will offset the negative impact of the war in other markets. War- related sanctions do not apply to the company or its managers or shareholders. - The Company's negative operating results and the related liquidity challenges caused by the increase in prices of raw materials and energy resources and the decline in consumption expectations due to the war in Ukraine are temporary, and the management of the Company and the Group expects to overcome them with the available resources. Not wishing to risk the future of a viable and potential Company, and in order to secure the jobs and social security of its employees, the management of the Company decided to initiate a process of restructuring of the Company (Note 33). Management agrees that the above assumptions are affected by significant uncertainties that could cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, which would prevent the Company from realizing its assets and meeting its obligations in the ordinary course of business. Nevertheless, and given the significant uncertainties, management expects the Company to have sufficient resources to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company has continued to apply the going concern principle in preparing these financial statements 2.3. Presentation currency The Group’s financial statements are presented in the currency of the European Union, the euro (EUR), which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s and the Company’s presentation currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the foreign currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. All differences are included in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as of the date of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. The functional currency of a foreign entity Snaige Ukraina, TOB, is Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH). As at the reporting date, the assets and liabilities of this subsidiary are translated into the presentation currency of Snaigė AB (EUR) at the rate of exchange at the statement of financial position date and their items of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at the average monthly exchange rates for the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are stated in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in the shareholders’ equity caption relating to that particular foreign operation is transferred to profit or loss. The performance results of the subsidiaries the control of which is lost are presented in the consolidated financial statements only for the period when control belonged to the Group. The applicable exchange rates in relation to euro as at the 31 December 2023 and 2022 were as follows: 31 December 2023 31 December 2022 UAH 42.30294 39.34128 USD 1.1050 1.0666 All amounts in these financial statements are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 16 2.4. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union, requires the management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of the estimates and assumptions form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are reviewed if they affect only this period, or in the period in which the estimates are reviewed and any future periods if they affect both the review and future periods. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements relate to the fair value of property, plant and equipment, estimated useful life time of the property, plant and equipment, recoverability of loans provided to the shareholder and provisions related to guarantees and warrantees. Fair value of the property, plant and equipment Fair value of property, plant and equipment was determined by independent valuators, and management used this valuation as sufficient basis for asset revaluation. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value determination are disclosed in Note 13. Useful life of property, plant and equipment The main assumptions when evaluating useful life of property, plant and equipment are: the intensity of use and tear of property, plant and equipment. Technical staff evaluated property, plant and equipment and indicated expected time of further usage, and new, longer depreciation terms were applied together with assets revaluation. Provisions Recognition of provisions requires estimate of the probable outflow of economic benefits and defining the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of reporting period. The Group and the Company estimate at the end of the reporting period if they have the present obligation from the past event, that should be registered as a liability as at the end of reporting period. Warrantees The warranty provision relates primarily to production sold in 2023 and 2022, with a 2-year warranty from 2017 and a 5-year warranty for promotional products. The provision is estimated on the basis of historical data related to the products. Future events may occur which may cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable. 2.5. Consolidation and Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition cost is determined by adding the fair value of the consideration at the date of acquisition and the amount of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree if any. For each business acquisition, the acquirer shall measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or in proportion to the identifiable net assets of the acquiree. Acquisition costs incurred are written off to administrative costs. If the business combination is carried out in stages, the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree is measured at fair value at the acquisition date through the statement of comprehensive income. The contingent consideration that the acquirer will have to pay is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent valuations of the contingent consideration that is treated as an asset or liability will be recognized at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9: either through profit/loss or as a change in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not reassessed and its subsequent payment is accounted for in equity. Goodwill is recognized at cost and is equal to the amount by which the total consideration, including the amount of the non- controlling interest recognized, exceeds the net amount of the assets and liabilities acquired. If this consideration is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, and the date of the financial statements is then assessed for impairment. 2.6. Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the separate statement of financial position of the Company at cost less impairment. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 17 The acquisition cost is equal to the fair value of the consideration paid. An assessment of the carrying amount of an investment for impairment is made when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may exceed its recoverable amount. In such circumstances, the Company assesses the return on investment. If the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its recoverable amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount (the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use). Impairment is recognized in profit or loss under finance costs. Profit (loss) from disposal of investments is accounted for in profit or loss under financing activities. 2.7. Intangible assets, except for goodwill Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (1–8 years). The useful lives and amortisation method are reviewed annually to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in intangible assets other than goodwill. Research and development Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on individual projects is recognised as an intangible asset when the Group and the Company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, their intention to complete and their ability to use or sell the asset so that the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development. Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortization periods from 1 to 8 years are applied. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually. Licenses Amounts paid for licences are capitalised and amortised over their validity period. Software The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised over a period not exceeding 3 years. Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Group and the Company expect from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out. The Company and the Group have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lifetime. 2.8. Property, plant and equipment, investment property Property, plant and equipment are shown at revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which is determined using fair value at the date of statement of financial position. The fair value of the property, plant and equipment is determined by appraisals undertaken by certified independent valuators. Any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses at the date of revaluation were eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, instead the historical acquisition cost was increased by the surplus of the revaluation. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of property, plant and equipment are credited to other comprehensive income and shown as revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. The revaluation reserve for property, plant and equipment is being reduced each period by the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and that based on its original cost, which is transferred directly to retained earnings. The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged to other comprehensive income and debited against revaluation reserve in equity; all other decreases are charged to the profit or loss. Revaluation increases that offset previous decreases charged to the profit or loss are recognised in the profit or loss. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 18 Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revaluated carrying amount of the asset charged to the profit or loss, and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings net of deferred income tax. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives from 1 October 2016: Buildings and structures (incl. investment property) 15–73 years, Machinery and equipment 5–63 years, Vehicles 4–20 years, Other property, plant and equipment 3–30 years. Weighted average useful lives from 1 October 2016 are as follows: Buildings and structures (incl. investment property) 55 years, Machinery and equipment 21 years, Vehicles 16 years, Other property, plant and equipment 12 years. The asset's carrying amounts, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognised within other income or other expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of non-current assets are capitalised, otherwise – expensed as incurred. No borrowing costs were capitalised in 2023 and 2022. 2.9. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after write-down of obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable overhead costs based on a normal operating capacity. Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off. 2.10. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried at par value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in a bank, demand deposits with banks and other highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of up to 3 months. 2.11. Financial assets and financial liabilities IFRS 9 Financial Instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset to one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument to another. a) Financial assets Initial recognition and evaluation: Financial assets are initially allocated at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit or loss. Assigning financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset and the Group/Company's business model that defines the management of the financial asset. Except for trade receivables and contract assets that do not have a significant funding component, the Group/Company recognizes financial assets at SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 19 fair value through initial recognition plus, when financial assets are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables and contract assets that do not include a significant funding component are measured at the transaction price determined in IFRS 15. For a financial asset to be designated and measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, the cash flows arising from the financial asset should be only principal and interest payments (SPPI) on the principal uncovered amount. This assessment is called the SPPI test and is performed for each financial instrument. The Group/Company's financial asset management model specifies how the Group/Company manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will be generated by collecting contractual cash flows, by selling this financial asset or by using both options. Ordinary purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date the Group/Company undertakes to purchase or sell the financial asset. Subsequent evaluation After initial recognition, the Company/Group assesses financial assets: a) Amortized cost (debt financial instruments); b) At fair value through other comprehensive income when the cumulative gain or loss after the derecognition is transferred to profit or (loss) (debt financial instruments). As of 31 December 2023, and 2022, the Group/Company did not have such instruments; c) Fair value through other comprehensive income when the cumulative gain or loss on discontinuance is not transferred to profit or (loss) (equity). As of 31 December 2023, and 2022, the Group/Company did not have such instruments; d) At fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at amortized cost (debt financial instruments) The Group/Company assesses financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: i) Financial assets are considered to be a business model designed to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and ii) Due to contractual terms of financial assets, cash flows that occur only on the principal amount and on the principal outstanding amount may arise on specified dates. Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method (EIR) less impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised, the asset is replaced or impaired. The Group/Company's financial assets at amortized cost include trade receivables, other current and non-current receivables, loans issued, and assets arising from customer contracts (if any). Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets at fair value through initial recognition. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near future. Derivatives, including segregated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are classified as effective hedging instruments (in accordance with IFRS 9). Financial assets related to cash flows that are not only principal and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria described above, under which debt instruments are classified as amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, debt instruments may be classified as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition if it eliminates or significantly reduces accounting inconsistencies. Financial assets are carried at fair value through profit or loss in the statement of financial position at fair value through profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment of financial assets In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group/Company generally recognizes expected credit loss (ECL) for all debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. The ECL is based on the difference between the contractual receivables and cash flows expected to be received by the Group/Company, discounted at an approximate initial effective interest rate. ECL is recognized in two stages. For credit exposures whose credit risk on initial recognition is not materially increased, ECL is calculated for credit losses arising from default events occurring within the next 12 months (12-month ECL). For those credit exposures that have significantly increased their credit risk from initial recognition, the impairment loss is formed for the amount of credit losses expected during the remaining life of the credit exposure, irrespective of the maturity (ECL). SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 20 (a) Evaluation of impairment of trade receivables The Group/Company uses the simplified method for calculating ECL for trade receivables and assets arising from contracts with customers. Therefore, the Group/Company does not observe changes in credit risk but recognizes impairment for each financial statement date on the basis of the validity of the ECL. The Group/Company has created a matrix of expected loss rates based on historical credit loss analysis and adjusted to reflect future factors specific to debtors and the economic environment. The Group/Company considers that the debtor has failed to fulfil its obligations relating to financial assets if the contractual payments are overdue, or when there are indications that the debtor or group of debtors are experiencing severe financial difficulties, default (principal or interest), that they will initiate bankruptcy or reorganization procedures, and in cases where the observed data suggest a reduction in future cash flows, such as changes in the past due to arrears or changes in economic conditions that correlate with default. Financial assets are derecognised when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering contractual cash flows. The Company/Group also calculates impairment individually by assessing the debt position separately by the debtor. The Company has determined that the average level of historically unpaid bad debts is less than 0% of its outstanding debt. For this reason, and having assessed future estimates, the Company has not changed the principles for calculating the current loss matrix. b) Evaluation of impairment of loans granted The Company grants loans to Group companies with a maturity term as disclosed in Note 14. In the case of a loan, in general, the expected credit loss for 12 months is assessed and accounted for. In subsequent reporting periods, in the absence of a significant increase in the credit risk associated with the debtor, the Company adjusts the balance of 12-month expected credit loss on the outstanding loan amount outstanding at the valuation date. Having determined that the debtor’s financial situation has significantly deteriorated compared to the situation at the time of the loan, the Company accounts for all expected credit losses during the loan term. b) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and evaluation: Financial liabilities at initial recognition are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loan receivables and payables. All financial liabilities at initial recognition are recognized at fair value and, for loans and receivables, less directly attributable transaction costs. The Group/Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans received, including bank overdrafts and financial leasing liabilities, and financial derivatives. Subsequent evaluation The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below. Financial liabilities are carried at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition valuating through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are held for repurchase purposes in the near future. This category also contains derivatives of Group/Company, not classified as hedge derivatives under IFRS 9. Individual embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are classified as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses arising from financial liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Loans received and other amounts due After initial recognition, loans and other payables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised or amortized. Amortized cost is calculated by reference to the discount or premium on the acquisition, as well as taxes or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR amortization is included in financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. Coverage of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is an enforceable right to settle the amounts recognized and is intended to be settled net, i.e. to realize the assets and fulfil their obligations at the same time. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 21 Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial asset A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (i.e. it is derecognised from the financial statements of the Group/Company) when: i) the contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset expire; or ii) the Group/Company transfers the contractual rights to receive cash flows from financial assets; or assumes the obligation to pay all cash flows received to the third party without a significant delay in the transfer agreement; or (b) the Group/Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but disposes of control of that financial asset. Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when it is settled, cancelled or expires. When one existing financial liability is replaced by another liability to the same lender but in other circumstances, or when the terms of an existing obligation are substantially changed, such a change is considered to be a termination of the original liability and a new liability occurs. The difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. 2.12. Authorized capital (a) Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are stated at their nominal value. The amount by which the consideration received for the shares sold exceeds their nominal value is recognized as share premium. Additional external costs directly related to the issue of new shares are accounted for by reducing the share premium. (b) Own shares When the Company or its subsidiaries acquire the Company's equity, the consideration paid, including any additional external costs attributable to it, is deducted from equity as own shares until they are sold, reissued or cancelled. No gain or loss on the sale, issue or cancellation of own shares is recognized. If such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, the consideration received is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a change in equity. (c) Mandatory reserve The legal reserve is mandatory under the laws of the Republic of Lithuania. Annual transfers of 5%. The net result is required until the reserve reaches 10% of the authorized capital. The legal reserve cannot be used to pay dividends, and it is determined only to cover future losses. (d) Revaluation reserve The revaluation reserve is recognized in other comprehensive income and is included in the revaluation reserve in equity. In cases where the revalued amount of the revalued asset exceeds the carrying amount of that asset and previously recognized an impairment loss on that asset in the statement of comprehensive income as a loss, the revaluation increase in excess of previous depreciation is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as profit. If, after the reversal, the revaluation surplus is still present, it is accounted for as other comprehensive income in the statement of comprehensive income (and in the statement of financial position in equity). The revaluation of revalued assets equivalent to the depreciation of the revalued assets of the current year on the revalued amount is carried forward to retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity at the end of the financial year. When transferring or reversing revalued assets, the related revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity. (e) Reserve for own shares This reserve is created on the basis of the shareholders' decision to acquire their own shares. (f) Foreign exchange translation reserve Foreign currency translation reserve is formed by currency translation differences arising from the consolidation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries. Currency translation differences in the consolidated financial statements are recognized in equity until the investment is sold. When the relevant asset is sold, the cumulative revaluation surplus is recognized as income or expense in the same period in which the gain or loss on sale is recognized.

Lease (a) the Company and the Group is the lessee Policy, adopted from 1 January 2019. At the beginning of the contract, the Company and the Group assess whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. This means assessing whether the contract confers a right to manage the use of the identified asset for a period of time in return for remuneration. The Company and the Group apply a single recognition and measurement method to all leases, except for short-term and low-value leases. The Company and the Group recognize a lease obligation to pay lease payments and a right-of-use asset that entitles the holder to use the leased asset. Assests managed under lease right The Company and the Group recognize the right-of-use asset at the inception date (ie the date from which the underlying asset is available for use). Assets held under usable rights are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an asset held for use includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, the initial direct costs, the lease payments at or before the inception date, less any lease incentives received. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lease term or over the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter: Land 58 years Vehicles 3 years If the ownership of the leased property is transferred to the Company and the Group before the end of the lease term or if the price of the asset managed by the right of use indicates that the lessee will exercise the call option, depreciation is calculated based on the estimated useful life of the asset. Assets held for use are also assessed for impairment. Lease obligations At the beginning date, the Company / Group recognizes lease liabilities at the present value of the lease payments due during the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments (including equivalent payments) less any rental incentives receivable, variable rents that depend on an index or rate, and amounts that would be payable under residual value guarantees. Such lease payments also include the exercise price of the call option if it is reasonably known that the Company / Group will exercise that option, and penalties for terminating the lease if it is assumed that the Company / Group will exercise the option to terminate the lease during the lease term. Variable lease payments that are independent of an index or a rate are recognized as an expense (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event occurs or the condition that gives rise to the tax arises. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company / Group applies the borrowing rate accrued at the beginning of the lease, as the interest rate specified in the lease cannot be readily determined. After the commencement date, the amount of the lease liability is increased by the estimated interest and the amount of lease payments paid is reduced. In addition, the carrying amount of a lease is remeasured if certain adjustments are made, the lease term or lease payments change (for example, changes in future lease payments due to a change in the index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the option to purchase the lease. evaluation. Short-term and low-value property lease The Company and the Group apply the recognition exemption to their current assets (i.e. leases with a term of less than 12 months at the inception date that do not include an option to purchase the asset). It also observes this exception by recognizing the lease of low-value assets consisting of office inventory. Lease payments for short-term and low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. b) Lease – the Company and the Group are the lessee or the lessor As a lessor, the Company and the Group determine at the beginning of a lease whether the contract is a finance lease or an operating lease. If the Company and the Group determine that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a leased asset are transferred under a lease, it classifies the lease as a finance lease. Leases under which the Company and the Group do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of a leased asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging a lease shall be included in the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Contingent contributions are recognized as income in the period in which they are earned. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 23 The Group's accounting policies as a lessee for the comparative period did not differ from the requirements of IFRS 16. 2.14. Grants and subsidies Grants and subsidies (hereinafter “the grants”) received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of non-current assets are considered as asset-related grants (mainly received from the EU and other structural funds). Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. The amount of the grants related to assets is recognised in the financial statements as used in parts according to the depreciation of the assets associated with this grant. In profit or loss, a relevant expense account is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation. Grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered as grants related to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant. 2.15. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The provisions are reviewed at each date of the statement of financial positions and adjusted in order to present the most reasonable current estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is equal to the present value of the expenses, which are expected to be incurred to settle the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expenses. 2.16. Employee benefits (a) Social security contributions The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the State Social Insurance Fund (hereinafter referred to as the Fund) for its employees in accordance with the defined contribution plan and in accordance with the requirements of national law. The defined contribution plan is a plan by which the Company and the Group pays a fixed contribution and will in the future have no legal or constructive obligation to continue to pay these contributions if the Fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits related to the service in current or past periods. Social security contributions are recognized as an expense on an accrual basis, and attributed to employee costs. (b) Bonus plans The Company and the Group recognize a liability and an expense for bonuses when it has a contractual liability or a past practice that has created a constructive liability. (c) Long-term employee benefits According to the requirements of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, every employee leaving the Company at the age of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment, which amounts to 2-month period salary. Commitments to employees for the current year are recognized as an expense immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. Expenses previously incurred are recognized as an expense in the average over the period until the payment becomes mandatory. Any gain or loss arising from the amendment (reduction or increase) of the benefit conditions is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. Employee benefits liability is calculated on the basis of actuarial estimates using the projected unit credit method. Reassessments consisting of actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in the statement of financial position with the corresponding debit or credit in retained earnings in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Reassessments in subsequent periods are not carried forward to profit or loss. The liability is recorded in the statement of financial position and reflects the present value of those benefits at the date of the statement of financial position. The present value of employee benefits obligations is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows on the basis of the interest rate on government securities denominated in the same currency as the benefits and the payout period similar to the expected payout period. 2.17. Income tax Group companies are taxed individually regardless of the Group's overall performance. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 24 Income tax expense recognized in these financial statements is determined on the basis of management's estimates in accordance with the tax laws of the Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Ukraine. The profit of the Group companies operating in Lithuania for the year 2023 is subject to a 15% corporate income tax rate (15% in 2022). In Ukraine, corporate income tax is 18% (18% in 2022). According to the tax laws of the Republic of Lithuania, tax losses other than losses related to the transfer of securities and/or financial instruments may be carried forward for an indefinite period. Tax losses carried forward from 1 January 2014 may not exceed 70% of taxable profit for the current year. Losses on the sale of securities and/or derivative financial instruments may be carried forward for 5 years and are used only to reduce taxable profits from similar transactions. As of 1 January 2012, tax losses carried forward under the tax laws of the Republic of Ukraine may not exceed 25% of the taxable profit for the current year. Deferred income tax Deferred income tax is accounted for using the liability method for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not recognized if it arises from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities other than those resulting from a business combination that at the time of the transaction had no effect on either accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is calculated using tax rates (and laws) approved or substantially enacted at the date of the financial statements that are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is recognized for temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except when the Group controls the timing of the elimination of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not disappear in the near future. 2.18. Revenue recognition Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the control of the goods or services passes to the customer, the amount the Company and the Group expect to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The Company and the Group have determined that they control goods or services before they are transferred to the customer, therefore the Company and the Group act as the principal party to the income transaction. The Company and the Group allocate the transaction price over the production period of the product based on the relative selling prices of the individual production levels. Management has performed an analysis and determined that the Company and the Group meet their operating obligations under contracts with customers during the period (rather than at a specific point in time) for the following reasons: - The Company and the Group do not create alternative assets by providing product manufacturing services; - The Company and the Group have an executive right to remuneration for the partial production work performed. In calculating the portion of revenue and its cost, management relies on the expected cost method, adding the expected margin. Based on the management and production accounting data, the state of the production of the order at each stage of production is deducted (in the Company, respectively, calculating the share of the expected cost of the product at which stage of production is achieved). The calculations are completed by adding the applicable margin to the estimated relative work-in-progress at the various stages of production. The amount of revenue so calculated is recognized and recognized in the statement of comprehensive income under in current assets, in the contractual asset item. The cost associated with this amount of revenue is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income under cost of sales. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS and the application of IFRS 15 requires management and the Group to apply certain assumptions and estimates that have a significant effect on the amounts presented in the financial statements. In the opinion of management, the most significant estimates and related uncertainties in the calculation and recognition of revenue from contracts with customers relate to: - The expected profit margin of the product is used (percentage); - The application of historical management and production accounting data to calculate the value factors associated with each stage of production. In addition to those discussed above, management also considered the impact of other matters on revenue recognition, such as the presence of significant financing components, non-cash settlements, and so on. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 25 The Company's and the Group's contracts with customers do not contain these listed contractual terms or, in the opinion of management, are insignificant in the context of the application of IFRS 15. Dividend distribution Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company's and the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders. 2.19. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed in the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when it is probable that future economic benefits potentially will flow to the entity. 2.20. Subsequent events Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Group’s and the Company’s position at the date of the statement of financial position (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material. 2.21. Offsetting and comparative figures When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when a certain International Financial Reporting Standard specifically requires such set-off. 2.22. Segments An operating segment is a component of the Group and the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by management of the Group and the Company to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 2.23. Earnings per share The Group present basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to the Group’s shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as the impact of convertible notes and share options transactions. 2.24. Fair value measurement Some of the Group’s and the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group and the Company have access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group and the Company use market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised within different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group and the Company recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 26 Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes based on the described methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability (related note). 2.25. Classification into short-term and long-term In the financial statements, the Group and the Company present assets and liabilities by classifying them into current and non-current. An asset is considered current if: • It is expected to be sold or sold or consumed in the ordinary course of business • Held for sale • Expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the financial year Or • Cash or cash equivalents, except for limited uses, that will not be able to settle or settle liabilities in the next 12 months. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current if: • It is expected to be paid during the normal operating cycle • Held for sale • It is expected to be paid within 12 months after the end of the financial year • There is no unconditional right to defer payment for at least 12 months after the end of the financial year. The Group and the Company classify all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and non-current liabilities.

As at 31 December 2023 the Group's and the Company's buildings, machinery and equipment were pledged to the loan assignee (related party) as collateral for loans (Note 23). SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 36 As at 31 December 2023, fully depreciated but still usable Group and Company material assets purchase values were EUR 6,266 thousand and EUR 5,878 thousand (as at 31 December 2022 – EUR 5,163 thousand and EUR 4,795 thousand). Revaluation of property, plant and equipment Starting from 30 September 2016 the Group and the Company decided to revaluate the non-current assets, including buildings, structures, machinery and equipment as well as other production equipment. The valuation of non-current assets for financial reporting purposes has been carried out by external, independent valuator, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. The valuation of real estate was based on the comparable method by comparing sales prices of similar real estate in Lithuania. The valuation of machinery and equipment and other non-current assets was based on comparable or depreciated replacement cost (DRC) methods. The estimated fair value was valued by independent valuators - Corporation „Matininkai“. Building and structures were attributed to Level 3 of fair value hierarchy. Under the Market method the sale transactions or offer examples in respect of the real estate and constructions were observed in the market. The comparable real estate objects were selected due to the similarity with the object being measured with respect to size, nature, location, intended use, condition and other parameters. The valuation of real estate required adjustments to reflect differences between the objects being measured and comparable objects. Machinery and equipment, vehicles and other assets were also attributed to Level 3 of fair value hierarchy. Part of the machinery was valued based on at least two or three comparable inputs. Comparable inputs selected were similar to the assets subject to valuation. This method was used for the measurement of a part of equipment in respect of which sale or offer market data was available. The remaining part of machinery and equipment were valued by DRC method. The replacement values of these non-current assets were based on their acquisition costs and comparable price changes provided by the Statistics Department. When establishing physical obsolescence, it is assumed that the value of property being measured is written off in proportion to the number of years. The assets subject to valuation were classified into categories in respect of which the useful life up to 20 years depending on the group of assets was established based on the expert opinion of the valuer. Asset were valued under this scheme: 1. All Company long term assets were valued using discounted cash flows model. 2. From this value, intangible assets at balance value and buildings at market value were taken off. 3. Other movable assets were valuated using comparison method, while special movable assets and other assets, not possible to value at comparison model, were valuated at DRC model. Some assets, not possible to value by methods described above, were valuated at disposal rate. 4. The remaining value was allocated to all valued items, by using correction coefficients. Only assets, valued by DRC and disposal methods, were corrected using coefficients. The increase in value of non-current tangible assets was registered by increasing the acquisition cost of the asset and was accounted as follows as at 30 September 2018: The Company Book value Revalued amounts Revaluation surplus Buildings and structures 5,404 5,975 571 Machinery and equipment 8,089 9,160 1,071 Vehicles and other assets 1,435 1,759 324 Total: 14,928 16,894 1,966 Furthermore, the estimated fair value of PPE was tested for impairment by comparing it to the recoverable amount of PPE determined based on the income method. The revenue approach model was based on management's 2018-2022 forecasts, which assumed the following assumptions for cash flow projections based on the market situation: - Maintaining current product turnover in a more or less constant level of recent years. In the following years, a gradual slowdown in western markets is planned due to the increasing influence of Chinese manufacturers on the production of private brands in the home appliance sector. One of the most important reasons for the company's sales of own brand Snaigė is the continuous and consistent development of technologies, brand support, and development of new products, therefore no decrease in sales of this category is planned. - Starting production of a new product – industrial refrigeration equipment. This step has been chosen due to the fact that the existing domestic refrigerating appliance markets are shrinking and oligopolizing, thus reducing the niche of the Company's type manufacturers, while the industrial refrigeration equipment is less standardized, and very large manufacturers cannot gain a competitive advantage through economies of scale and in that way reduce potential niches. In addition, the Company has many years of experience in trading such products, and the technological process is very close to existing production.

The main components of working capital (stock requirements, receivables, and trade payables) are calculated on the basis of average values (parts of income and expenses) from actual data from 2012-2018 (non-typical current liabilities and receivables are excluded from working capital) In preparing the 2023 and the 2022 financial statements, no independent determination of the fair value of the assets was made because there was no reason to believe that the carrying amount of the assets would not reflect fair value. The assumptions largely reflect the current situation and strategy, and their slight shift in time does not significantly affect the fair value of the assets calculated according to a similar model. Change in estimates 2023 The Group performed a test of the useful life and residual value of its non-current assets, but did not identify any changes in the applicable useful lives and residual values. As the Company has acquired the status of a company under restructuring in 2022 and the Company's Restructuring Plan provides for the possibility to sell part of its tangible assets with a prior valuation, the market values of the Company's non- current assets will be subject to adjustments (if necessary) following the valuation of the assets during the course of the restructuring plan. 14.

Financial instruments Overview The Group and the Company have exposure to the following risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to each of these risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s and the Company’s risk management framework. The Group’s and Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group and the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s and the Company’s activities. The Group and the Company aim to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Credit risk As at 31 December 2023 and 2022, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, consequently, the Group’s and the Company’s management considers that its maximum exposure is reflected by the amount of loans receivable from related parties, trade and other receivables, net of impairment allowance, and the amount of cash and cash equivalents recognised at the date of the statement of financial position. Credit risk or risk that a counterparty will not fulfil its obligations, is controlled by credit terms and monitoring procedures, using services of external credit insurance and debt recovery agencies. As at 31 December, the credit risk was related to: Group Company As at 31 As at 31 As at 31 As at 31 December 2023 December 2022 December 2023 December 2022 Trade receivables 794 2,025 749 1,965 Cash and cash equivalents 291 179 152 17 1,085 2,204 901 1,982 SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) 46 The concentration of the Group’s and the Company’s trade partners and the largest credit risk related to trade receivables as at the reporting date are disclosed below: Group Company 2023 % 2022 % 2023 % 2022 % Client 1 150 8 651 20 150 8 651 21 Client 2 129 7 345 11 129 7 345 11 Client 3 61 3 155 5 61 3 155 5 Client 4 61 3 135 4 61 3 135 4 Client 5 53 2 105 3 53 3 105 3 Client 6 50 2 73 2 50 3 73 2 Client 7 32 2 69 2 32 2 69 2 Other clients 1,436 73 1,663 53 1,325 71 1,541 52 Impairment (1,178) - (1,171) - (1,112) - (1,109) - Total 794 100 2,025 100 749 100 1,965 100 Trade receivables according to geographic regions: Group Company 2023 2022 2023 2022 Western Europe 361 1,288 361 1,288 Central Europe 169 247 169 247 Ukraine 91 108 91 108 Lithuania 156 363 111 304 Other CIS countries - - - - Other Baltic States 17 19 17 18 Russia - - - - Other - - - - 794 2,025 749 1,965 Central Europe comprises Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria; Western Europe comprises France, Germany, Norway, Portugal; other CIS countries include Uzbekistan, Moldova, and Azerbaijan. In 2023, 62.04% and 62.17% of the Group's and the Company's sales were to Western European countries (50.68% and 51.22% respectively in 2022). 8.03% and 8.04% of the sales were to Ukraine (7.09% and 7.17% respectively in 2022). As at 31 December 2023, the Group’s and the Company’s amounts receivable for items sold in Western Europe and Ukraine, less impairment losses were equal to EUR 361 thousand and EUR 361 thousand, and in Ukraine respectively EUR 91 thousand and EUR 91 thousand (as at 31 December 2022, EUR 1,288 thousand and EUR 1,288 thousand and Ukraine EUR 108 thousand and EUR 108 thousand respectively). Although management considers that it takes all necessary measures under current circumstances to maintain stable business of the Group and the Company, the persistent instability of business environment could unpredictably affect the performance of the Group and the Company and their financial position. As at 31 December 2023, having assessed the risks, the Group and the Company recognised impairment allowance of EUR 1,178 thousand and EUR 1,112 thousand for receivables (as at 31 December 2022, EUR 1,171 thousand and EUR 1,109 thousand). These financial statements reflect the current management’s estimate related to the effect of the business environment on the Group’s and the Company’s activities and financial position. The future business environment might differ from the management’s estimates. The Group’s and the Company’s management believes that the maximum risk equals to trade receivables, less recognised impairment losses at the reporting date. The Group and the Company do not provide guarantees for obligations of other parties. The credit policy is implemented by the Group and the Company and credit risk is constantly controlled. Credit risk assessment is applied to all clients willing to get a payment deferral. SNAIGĖ AB, company code 249664610, Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, Lithuania CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated) Trade receivables from the Group in the amount of EUR 493 thousand as at 31 December 2023 (EUR 1,645 thousand as at 31 December 2022) were insured with credit insurance by Atradius Sweden Kreditförsäkring Lithuanian branch. Trade receivables from Ukraine, Moldova, Russia and other CIS countries were not insured. The delay analysis of trade receivables, less impairment losses, as at 31 December 2023 and 2022 is as follows: Group, debt limitation Trade receivables Trade receivables past due but not impaired neither past due nor Less 30–60 60–90 90–120 More than Total impaired than 30 days days days 120 days days 2023 616 60 15 3 1 99 794 2022 1,731 142 18 8 35 91 2,025 Company, debt limitation Trade receivables Trade receivables past due but not impaired neither past due nor Less 30–60 60–90 90–120 More than impaired than 30 days days days 120 days Total days 2023 606 42 1 4 1 95 749 2022 1,712 120 23 0 19 91 1,965 Solvency / Liquidity risk The Group’s and the Company’s policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents by using cash flows statements with liquidity forecasting for future periods. The statement comprises predictable operating cash flows and effective planning of cash utilisation. The Group’s liquidity (total current assets / total current liabilities) and quick ((total current assets - inventory) / total current liabilities) ratios as at 31 December 2023 were 3.7 and 1.2 respectively (3.6 and 1.5 as at 31 December 2022 respectively). The purpose of the Group’s and the Company’s liquidity risk management policy is to maintain the ratio between continuous financing and flexibility in using overdrafts, bank loans, bonds, and lease agreements. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the financial liabilities as at 31 December 2023 and 2022 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The solvency/liquidity risk is exacerbated by the Company's ongoing restructuring process, in which most financial institutions are avoiding or restricting the Company's ability to use any financial instruments, resulting in a lack of working capital and an inability to fully execute the Company's orders. Interest rate risk The Group’s and the Company’s borrowings are subject to variable interest rates related to EURIBOR. As at 31 December 2023 and 2022 the Group and the Company did not use any financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk. Sensitivity of the Group and the Company profit before taxes with respect to possible interest rate movements is not substantial.

Raw material supplies from Ukraine have partially resumed, but their volumes in 2023 were insignificant (about 1% of total purchases) and the suspension of supplies from Ukraine does not have a direct impact on the Company's operations. - Exports of products to Russia and Belarus are suspended, although there are no trade restrictions or sanctions on the products or the Company’s customers at the time of preparing the Statements. - The indirect impact of the conflict on the Company's and the Group's operations is very negative because: o Due to the resulting tensions, a significant slowdown in trade is observed in almost all of the company's markets (up to 50% of normal volumes in different markets, according to expert estimates). o Significant increases in raw material, transport and energy prices due to the uncertainties caused by the war in Ukraine, and the opportunities to purchase them are decreasing, which has a negative impact on the Company's and the Group's operating results. - There is a risk that the estimates used in the Company's and the Group's accounting, due to the market value of assets, the fair market value of financial instruments and going concern assumptions, may be inaccurate, as it is not yet possible to predict the exact consequences of military conflict for these sizes. At present, it is quite difficult to reasonably estimate the impact on the financial results due to various uncertainties. However, Snaigė AB exports its products to more than 30 countries in Europe and Asia, therefore, the company expects to compensate for poor sales in Ukraine and other markets. 33. The process of Company restructuring In order to implement the restructuring according to the draft restructuring plan of the Company approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders on 23 June 2022, Snaigė AB on 1 July 2022 applied to the Kaunas District Court with a request to initiate the Company's restructuring case.

The activities of the Company are regulated by environment protection management system, which complies with international ISO 14001 standard requirements. The system is working since 2001. The Company is currently recertified under international standard ISO 14001, version of 2015. In 2023 the Company’s pollutant emission was in line with the permitted levels; therefore, it received no comments or claims from controlling institutions or business partners. Since 1 January 2015 Snaigė AB, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1005/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 “On substances that deplete the ozone layer” has committed itself to the requirements and does not buy and does not use single or in a mixture with pure and impure (that is recycled and reclaimed), hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC).

In manufacturing the Company tries to use materials which later can be recycled. The Company complies with Directive 2009/125/EC of 21 October 2009 of the European Parliament and European Commission, which regulates design of the products. Snaigė refrigerators are manufactured from ecological materials which do not contain any harmful elements. For example, every plastic part of a refrigerator is marked (according to ISO 1043:1:1997), so that it can be reused one more time, recycled according to Directive 2002/96/EC describing electrical and electronic equipment waste requirements. When designing and producing Snaigė refrigerators, the Company uses various means to reduce the harmful effect on the environment: − No materials are used causing greenhouse effect or deteriorating ozone; − No materials are used which are harmful for human health; − Analysis of materials usage is performed.

The company saves electricity, water and heat: the use of these resources has been reduced threefold in ten years. 2.3.8 Risk factors related to the business of the Company Macroeconomic Risk. As the Lithuanian economy overcomes the evolving challenges, private consumption and domestic demand are expected to remain relatively stable, mainly driven by a reduction in policy uncertainties and growth in real disposable income. As export markets are sufficiently diversified, country-specific problems would not have a material impact on the company’s business. The risk of higher inflation is related to global commodity and energy prices and potential shortages, which are difficult to predict due to ongoing uncertainties. The risk of exchange rate fluctuations for the Company is minimal due to small trading volumes in foreign currencies and balanced buying and selling flows in different currencies (mainly EUR and USD). Credit market risk. Due to limited access to borrowed capital, the company is exposed to increased cash flow management risk. The Company’s Financial Accounting Accuracy Risk. On 29 April 2023 the Company’s auditor expressed a qualified audit opinion on the Company’s separate and consolidated financial statements. International Trade Restrictions Risk. The Company exports a portion of its production to third countries (outside the European Union). There is a risk that changes in foreign trade policies of third countries could aggravate export conditions to those countries. Any such change would negatively impact export opportunities for the Company and its financial situation. Due to the geopolitical tensions caused by the military conflict in Ukraine, there are possible sanctions and restrictions for the company and its individual trading partners due to political risks. Market Risk. The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of refrigeration equipment. Investors assume the risk that the Company may suffer losses aggravating financial situation of the Company in the event of negative changes in product markets and markets of raw materials needed in production processes. Policy Risk. The Company is engaged in manufacturing activities which generate chemical substances harmful to the environment. Environmental matters both at Lithuanian and European Union levels are policy-regulated. There is a risk that in the event of changes in existing environmental requirements and restrictions the Company might need additional investments to ensure compliance of production processes with new requirements. However, such investments should not negatively affect the financial situation of the Company. Due the military conflict in Ukraine, there is a risk that the government of Lithuania or other countries to which the products are exported may adopt various operating restrictions that may adversely affect the company's operations and results. Business Continuity Risk. Business continuity presumptions are disclosed in Note 2.2 of the consolidated audited financial statements for 2023. Operational Risk. This is the risk that includes both direct and indirect losses resulting from improper or inoperative internal processes, systems or technologies, actions by staff and agents, and external factors. Constituent part of the operational risk is legal risk, i.e. risk of losses potentially occurring as a result of the Company’s present or past obligations under various contracts and agreements, legal actions or laws, non-performance or improper performance. Technical and Technological Factors. This includes physical and moral depreciation of a variety of technical means. Risk factors of this type could affect operations of the Company both directly and indirectly. Technological factors can affect the Company directly through physical and moral depreciation of technical base. 2.3.8.1 The main indications about internal control and risk management systems related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements The Audit Committee supervises preparation of the consolidated financial statements, systems of internal control and financial risk management and how the Company follows legal acts that regulate preparation of consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated annual report for 2023 99 The following decisions on the agenda questions were adopted at the Extraordinary Meeting of the shareholders: The agenda question: 1. Approval of the Company’s restructuring plan. The decision: Approve the Company’s restructuring plan. 28-02-2023 Consolidated Interim Report for Year 2022 According to unaudited consolidated data, in 2022 the company reached 21 million. EUR turnover, i.e. one and a half times less than in 2021. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB "Snaigė", the decreased turnover of the company is also a consequence of war and the cost raise of resources, transport and energy. “In the first half of last year, the war not only closed Ukraine, one of our largest markets, but also significantly frightened many our customers in Central and Western Europe." – says M. Sologubas.- "The uncertainty of the situation has prompted many of them to postpone their orders, to put their development plans on hold. In almost all of our markets, sales slowed down or even stopped in the first half of the year. Increase of energy prices in the second half of the year also affected significantly to the drop in sales." In order to ensure business continuity, the company prepared restructuring plan for the company's activities and began the restructuring process, which became effective in September. According to the Court, the prospects of the company's activities provided for in the draft restructuring plan lead to the conclusion that the company has real opportunities to restore solvency, which is why it was allowed to restructure. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB "Snaigė “, currently the company is continuing to operate, producing refrigerators, developing its new category of industrial refrigeration products and has no intention of stopping. "We are trying to get out of this unfavourable for the company situation on our own," says M. Sologubas. "The biggest internal obstacle to our activity is the lack of working capital. We have many more orders than we can and actually produce. We cannot borrow yet, we pay for raw materials in advance, which also negatively affects the company's result". The company suffered of 2.7 million. EUR unaudited consolidated EBITDA loss. Mr Sologubas points out that almost half of this loss was due to the re-calculation of reserves, provisions and accumulations. This recalculation had to be done by the company following IFRS, due to the restructuring process and the assessment of the consequences of the war in Ukraine. Therefore, according to M.Sologubas, the real results of the company's everyday activities are better. In 2022, AB "Snaigė" exported 93% of its production. Sekenora Holdings Limited, a Cypriot investment company, is the main shareholder of SNAIGĖ. The SNAIGĖ group of companies includes two subsidiaries TOB SNAIGĖ UKRAINA and UAB ALMECHA. AB "Snaigė" is one of the largest employers of Alytus city and district, employing over 360 employees. The company supplies orders and works to many Lithuanian companies, annually pays the State of Lithuania about EUR 3 million. Eur in taxes. 20-03-2023 AB SNAIGĖ submitted a request for approval of the restructuring plan AB SNAIGĖ insolvency administrator Aurimas Valaitis applied to Kaunas Regional Court to approve the company’s restructuring plan. The basis of this application is the meeting of creditors of the company held on 16.03.2023 at which this issue was discussed. The decision to approve the restructuring plan in the group of non-mortgage creditors was taken by a majority vote (79%), and was not taken in the group of mortgage creditors. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB "SNAIGĖ", the company respects the opinion of all creditors, is grateful to those who approved the draft restructuring plan and hopes that Kaunas regional court will approve this plan. In the opinion of Mindaugas Sologubas, the company's restructuring plan is in the interests of both the company and its creditors and gives optimism that the company will be able to resolve temporary financial problems. "The main strategic goal during the restructuring period is to optimize and restructure the company's activities so that the company can meet its obligations to creditors as soon as possible," said M. Sologubas. Currently, the company has more orders than it can produce due to lack of working capital, develops new refrigeration appliances, pays with employees and the state on time. Since the start of the restructuring, the company has paid over EUR 0.5 million. Eur to Sodra and more than EUR 0.6 million. Eur in taxes to the state. According to M. Sologubas, AB SNAIGĖ is not only a significant company in the region, employing almost 400 people, but also the only manufacturer of refrigerators in the Baltic States More than a hundred different Lithuanian companies supply AB SNAIGĖ with their products, therefore, in the opinion of M. Sologubas, approval of the restructuring plan will preserve jobs for employees and income for related companies. During the restructuring plan, the company will implement the measures envisaged, which will help to increase the production and sales of professional and medical refrigeration appliances with a higher added value, as well as the production and sales of more profitable household refrigeration appliances. According to M. Sologubas, the company is already continuing its activities in the chosen direction. "Industrial products account for more than half of our turnover. Our goal is to have a fundamentally changed product portfolio in 2025, where professional refrigeration equipment will account for more than 70%. We're working on it at full capacity, we have a plan for how to do it, so I have reason to believe we'll succeed." Consolidated annual report for 2023 100 04-04-2023 The Kaunas Regional Court did not approve the restructuring plan of AB SNAIGĖ On 4 April. the Kaunas Regional Court did not approve the restructuring plan of AB SNAIGĖ. Although it was approved by a majority of both the company's shareholders and the majority of the company's non-mortgage creditors, the mortgage creditor UAB Easy Debt Service voted against this plan. In the opinion of Mindaugas Sologubas, manging director of AB SNAIGĖ, the restructuring plan is an opportunity for the company to solve temporary financial difficulties, optimize and restructure the company's activities so that the company can meet its obligations to all creditors as soon as possible. "The restructuring plan was in the interests of all creditors." - says M. Sologubas. "The failure to approve this plan means that in reality, non-mortgage creditors can hardly count on the recovery of their debt, the beneficiary will only be the mortgage creditor." According to Mindaugas Sologubas, "AB SNAIGĖ is now a functioning, viable company that pays taxes to state and salaries to its employees on time, makes current payments to its creditors, and exports its products to almost 30 European countries. "If the restructuring plan will not be approved, the legendary Lithuanian company, which is counting for sixty years this year, will cease to exist," said M. Sologubas. “-350 employees would be left without work, whose total salary fund in 2022 amounted to EUR 5,615,385.09, and the total amount of contributions charged to SODRA'i in 2022 amounted to EUR 1,393,718.33. Not only the company's creditors, but also the company's suppliers (about 100 companies) and the company's customers would be affected. AB SNAIGĖ, according to Mindaugas Sologubas the Director General, will consider the possibility of appealing against this court decision in accordance with the procedure provided for by legal acts. 07-04-2023 Convocation of the ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Snaigė AB On 28 April 2023 the ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Snaigė AB, the address of head office Pramonės str. 6, Alytus, the company code 249664610 (hereinafter, the “Company”) is convened (hereinafter, the “Meeting”).

It can only be favourable to one side – the mortgage creditor UAB Easy debt service who, without risking anything, regardless of whether the company continues to operate or is closed. "I cannot accept the fact that a viable company that pays taxes and salaries and counts insist years anniversary may be doomed to closure in the interests of the mortgage creditor. “- said M. Sologubas. – “-350 SNAIGĖ employees would remain without work. Those companies that supply SNAIGE with goods and services would also could be closed or will experience difficulties.” The state would also suffer losses: instead of the 2 million EUR received annually from SNAIGĖ as a tax, it will have to pay social benefits to people who will become unemployed. In 2022, the total salary fund of SNAIGĖ amounted to EUR 5,615,385.09, and the total amount of contributions charged to SODRA in 2022 amounted to EUR 1,393,718.33. The company has paid €723,656.88 in personal income tax alone in the year from 1 March 2022 to 28 March 2023. According to M. Sologubas, the restructuring plan is an opportunity for the company to resolve its temporary financial difficulties, to optimize and restructure the company's activities in such a way that the company can meet its obligations to all creditors as soon as possible. "- In its order, the court did not express doubts about the validity of the restructuring plan, therefore, UAB Easy debt service’s assertions that the company's restructuring plan does not correspond to reality," Consolidated annual report for 2023 102 - said M. Sologubas. – “In this way, the mortgage creditor selfishly forms the opinion that AB SNAIGE will not be able to implement the restructuring plan.” AB SNAIGĖ has every opportunity to operate and develop further. Even in difficult conditions, the company designed and introduced the market a new product: a double refrigerating unit-monobloc TWIN SGL017P2AAX1XSN - an efficient refrigerating unit for refrigerating storage facilities; 585 l capacity professional freezer CF70M; 350 l refrigerator- showcase CD35DM black color modification; 585 l capacity professional refrigerator with glass door CD70MF. Also, the AB SNAIGĖ supplemented its line of medical refrigerators with several important products: Company created a prototype of the MD40 refrigerator with metal doors, and prepared the MD35 refrigerator cabinet for further development. Not only the existing customers of the company were interested in these products, but also number of new ones. AB SNAIGĖ is supported not only by the company's non-mortgage creditors, but also by customers. One of them is world-class manufacturer Whirlpool, who recently signed a factoring agreement with the company. 14-04-2023 Information for the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of SNAIGE AB Additional information for the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of AB "Snaigė" (hereinafter referred to as the "Meeting") to be convened on 28 April 2023 at 10 a.m. The agenda of the meeting is supplemented by item No. 7: Approval of an amendment to the Company's restructuring plan. The Company's shareholders are invited to participate in the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and to vote on the items on the agenda of the Meeting by submitting duly completed general voting ballot to the Company (at Pramonės g. 6, Alytus, Lithuania) in advance. The ballot paper must be accompanied by a document confirming the right to vote. Attached: The general voting ballot. 25-04-2023 AB SNAIGĖ shareholders will consider the adjusted restructuring plan Additional information for the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of AB "Snaigė" (hereinafter referred to as the "Meeting") to be convened on 28 April 2023 at 10 a.m. The Company's shareholders are invited to participate in the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and to vote on the items on the agenda of the Meeting by submitting duly completed general voting ballot to the Company (at Pramonės g. 6, Alytus, Lithuania) in advance. The ballot paper must be accompanied by a document confirming the right to vote. The Company’s shareholders will discuss the adjusted restructuring plan. AB SNAIGĖ made technical corrections taking into account some comments of the Kaunas District Court. They did not influence the essence of the restructuring plan, nor the goals pursued, nor the means to achieve them, nor the term of validity, etc. In the adjusted restructuring plan, the company provided non-personalized lists of its creditors and debtors. In the first version of the plan, protecting the confidentiality of debtors and creditors, this was not done, but both creditors and debtors were disclosed to the court in a separate document. The company's mortgage creditors are also named in the plan. Also added (calculated) the financial requirements covered by the second stage (which was not disclosed in the previously submitted restructuring plan). The company did not agree with other comments of the Kaunas District Court. AB SNAIGĖ appealed the court's decision not to approve its restructuring plan to the Lithuanian Court of Appeal. In the opinion of AB SNAIGĖS, such a decision of the district court represents the interests of only one - the main mortgage creditor and ignores other non-mortgage creditors, most of whom support the company's restructuring plan. Failure to approve the restructuring plan leads to the closure of a functioning company that pays taxes and salaries to its employees on time. More than 350 SNAIGĖ employees may be out of work. Employees of those companies that serve SNAIGĖ will also lose their jobs. According to the mayor of Alytus, Nerijus Cesiulis, AB SNAIGĖ is one of the largest employers not only in Alytus but also in the entire region, its closure will threaten the Alytus region with a social catastrophe, as neither the city of Alytus nor the region will be able to offer so many jobs. In the opinion of AB SNAIGĖ General Director Mindaugas Sologubas, the company's shareholders will undoubtedly approve the adjusted restructuring plan, as its essence, goals and measures remained unchanged. "Our plan is a real and reasonable opportunity not only to solve temporary financial difficulties, to settle with creditors, but also to continue to create and develop the segment of refrigeration equipment, to export, to create added value," said Mindaugas Sologubas. Attached: AB “Snaigė” restructuring plan (adjusted) 27-04-2023 Despite the difficult year of 2022, SNAIGĖ believes in the prospects of its activities SNAIGĖ AB is providing the audited company’s financial statements for 2022, the auditor’s report, the annual report and the project of distribution of profit (loss) for the ordinary general shareholders meeting of the Company which will be held on 28 April 2023. Consolidated annual report for 2023 103 The Company's shareholders are invited to attend the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and to vote on the items on the agenda of the Meeting (Kareivių g. 6, (5th floor) Vilnius, Lithuania). In 2022, the Company reached 21 million. EUR audited consolidated turnover, i.e. 37 percent less than in 2021. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB "Snaigė", the falling turnover of the company is also a consequence of war and the cost raise of resources, transport and energy. “In the first half of last year, the war not only deprived Ukraine, one of our largest markets, but also significantly frightened many our customers in central and western Europe." – says M. Sologubas.- "The uncertainty of the situation has prompted many of them to postpone their orders, to put their plans on hold. In almost all of our markets, sales slowed down or even stopped in the first half of the year. Increase of energy prices in the second half of the year also contributed significantly to the drop in sales." The Company, not wanting to risk the future of a viable and potential company, in order to ensure jobs and social guarantees for its employees, initiated a restructuring process, which became effective in September 2022. In its ruling, the Kaunas Regional Court did not express any doubts about the validity of the restructuring plan, but did not approve the plan, since, in its opinion, the plan does not sufficiently represent the interests of the mortgage creditor. AB SNAIGĖ, opposing such a court decision, appealed against it to a higher court. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB SNAIGĖ currently the company is continuing to operate, producing refrigerators, developing its new category of industrial refrigeration products and has no intention of stopping. "We are trying to get out of this unfavourable for the company situation on our own," says M. Sologubas. "The biggest internal obstacle to our activity is the lack of working capital. We have many more orders than we can produce. We cannot borrow yet, we pay for raw materials in advance, which also negatively affects the company's result. In this situation, we are supported by most of our creditors and especially by our customers: some pay for the goods earlier than agreed, others do not complain if we are late with the execution of the order, etc. These are WHIRLPOOL (Italia), SEVERIN, KBS, NORD CAP, GASTRO, BOMAN, BAYTRONIC (Germany), AIEA (Moldova), MARIO MIRANDA (Portugal) and many others, our long-term partners. The company's audited consolidated loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) last year reached 2.7 million. Eur. According to M. Sologubas, almost half of this loss was caused by the recalculation of reserves, provisions and accumulations, which the company carried out due to the restructuring process and the assessment of the consequences of the war in Ukraine. Therefore, according to the manager, the results of direct economic activity are better. "We dared to turn to the Parliament for help," said M. Sologubas. "The SNAIGĖ issue was discussed in the Economic Committee of the Parliament on Wednesday. I am glad that we were heard, the chairman of the committee, Kazys Starkevičius, will hold a separate meeting to examine our problem, seconded by the deputy chairman of the committee, Gintautas Paluckas, who assessed SNAIGĖ as a significant company not only in the region, but also in Lithuania." AB "Snaigė" in 2022 exported 93 percent its products to 30 European and Asian countries. The company's largest markets were Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Ukraine. AB SNAIGĖ is one of the largest employers in the city and district of Alytus, the factory employs over 340 employees, the company provides orders and work to many Lithuanian companies. The total wage fund of SNAIGĖ in 2022 amounted to 5.6 million. EUR, and the total amount of calculated contributions to SODRA in 2022 amounted to 1.4 million. Eur. The Company has paid EUR 723,657 in personal income tax alone during the year (from March 1, 2022 to March 28, 2023). More detailed information is provided in the audited consolidated financial statements of AB SNAIGĖ for 2022 (see appendices).

THE DECISION: To approve the changed restructuring plan of the Company. 17-05-2023 The creditors of AB SNAIGĖ voted by a majority of votes to support the company's restructuring plan 2023-05-15 a meeting of the company's creditors was held, where the revised restructuring plan of the company was considered. The decision to approve the restructuring plan in the group of non-mortgage creditors was taken by a majority vote (almost 80%), and was not taken in the group of mortgage creditors. SODRA also voted in favour of the restructuring plan. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB "SNAIGĖ", the company respects the opinion of all creditors, is grateful to those who approved the restructuring plan and hopes that the Court of Appeal of Lithuania will approve this plan. According to M. Sologubas, the company's restructuring plan is in the interests of both the company and its creditors and is a real way to preserve a viable functioning company that pays salaries to employees on time and settles accounts with the State (since the beginning of the restructuring, the company has paid over EUR 0.5 million Eur to Sodra and more than EUR 0.6 million. Eur in taxes). "The main strategic goal during the restructuring period is to optimize and restructure the company's activities so that the company can meet its obligations to creditors as soon as possible," said M. Sologubas. During the restructuring plan, the company will implement the measures envisaged, which will help to increase the production and sales of industrial and medical refrigeration appliances with a higher added value, as well as the production and sales of more profitable household refrigeration appliances. According to M. Sologubas, the company is already continuing its activities in the chosen direction. "Industrial products account for more than half of our turnover. Our goal is to have a fundamentally changed product portfolio in 2025, where professional refrigeration equipment will account for more than 70%. We're working on it at full capacity, we have a plan for how to do it, so I have reason to believe we'll succeed." Currently, the company has orders more than it can produce due to lack of working capital. According to M. Sologubas, the company is the only manufacturer of refrigerators in the Baltic States and a significant company in the region, which employs almost 400 people. About 100 Lithuanian companies supply various services, materials and parts to AB SNAIGE, therefore, in the opinion of M. Sologubas, approval of the restructuring plan will preserve jobs for employees and income for related companies. 26-05-2023 Information on the election of the Chairman of the Board of AB "Snaigė" Aleksey Kovalchuk is re-elected Chairman of the Board of Snaigė AB. 26-05-2023 First quater rezults According to unaudited consolidated data, in the first quarter of this year AB SNAIGĖ reached over 4.6 million Eur turnover and suffered 0.8 million EUR unaudited consolidated EBITDA loss. Consolidated annual report for 2023 105 According to Mindaugas Sologubas, general director of AB "Snaigė", the first quarter of the year is always the worst, because the season of sale of refrigeration equipment begins in the hot season. And this year it was even worse due to the depletion of energy resources, infliation and increased interest rates on loans. These circumstances did not encourage consumers in all the company's markets to upgrade their household refrigeration appliances. There was also a huge shortage of sales to Ukraine, which in the first months of this year survived numerous bombardments of electrical stations and the cities themselves, and almost did not buy the company's refrigerators. AB SNAIGEI was much better at selling commercial refrigeration equipment. In this segment, there were more orders than the company could produce due to the lack of working capital. Most of the commercial equipment was exported to Germany, Italy and Poland. The rise in energy and the increase in average wages also increased the company's own costs. The purchase of raw materials and parts in advance also worsened the company's result. In the opinion of M. Sologubas, if the company had sufficient working capital, its sales and profitability would increase significantly. Despite the circumstances, AB SNAIGĖ does not intend to stop and abandon its plans. The company continues to develop its new line of industrial refrigeration products, making its way to new markets and new business segments. According to M. Sologubas, the second quarter must be better: more and more orders are placed by Ukrainian customers, we hope for a successful outcome of negotiations with potential customers of medical refrigeration equipment and monoblock refrigeration units. AB SNAIGĖ is currently awaiting the decision of the Court of Appeal of Lithuania on its restructuring plan. The company expects the court to approve the plan, thus enabling the company to operate and settle with its creditors. The vast majority (over 80 per cent) of all non-mortage creditors of the company and SODRA support this plan. The company is supported by the Economic Committee of the Lithunainan Parlament and a large number of the company's customers. AB SNAIGĖ was forced to start the process of reconstruction in order to preserve the continuity of activities, which was threatened by the outbreak of the war in Ukraine last year. Attached: 1. AB Snaige consolidated interim financial statements for three months period ended 31 March 2023 (unaudited). 07-06-2023 The Court of Appeal of Lithuania annulled the decision of the first instance not to approve the restructuring plan of AB SNAIGĖ The Court of Appeal of Lithuania annulled the 2023 decision of the Kaunas District Court April 4 the decision not to approve AB SNAIGĖ's restructuring plan and returned it to the court of first instance for re-examination, in order to fully assess and analyze the revised restructuring plan submitted. General director of AB SNAIGĖ, Mindaugas Sologubas, positively assesses the decision of the Lithuanian Court of Appeal and hopes that the Kaunas District Court will evaluate the revisions to the restructuring plan, which the company made taking into account the comments of the Kaunas District Court, as well as the company's potential, its importance and the created value not only for the region but also and the state, and will approve the revised restructuring plan. According to Mindaugas Sologubas, the restructuring plan is an opportunity for AB SNAIGĖ to solve the temporary financial difficulties the company faced after the war in Ukraine started last year. "The main strategic goal of the company during the restructuring period is to optimize and reorganize the company's operations in such a way that the company fulfills its obligations to creditors and becomes profitable again," - said M. Sologubas. According to M. Sologubas, AB SNAIGĖ is already operating according to the restructuring plan: optimizing production processes, looking for new markets and new customers, developing a more profitable range of professional refrigeration equipment, providing others with production services, etc. "AB SNAIGĖ is a functioning, viable, company that pays taxes to the state and Sodra on time, salaries to its employees, makes current payments to its creditors, and exports its products to almost 30 European countries," said M. Sologubas. In the opinion of the head of AB SNAIGĖ, the company's restructuring plan meets the interests of both the company and its creditors and is a realistic way to preserve a viable operating company that pays salaries to employees on time and settles with the state. 11-07-2023 Company information on a material event 11 July 2023 AB "Snaigė" (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") has received a notification from the mortgage creditor UAB EDS INVEST 3. By this notification, the Company is informed that UAB EDS INVEST 3 has submitted a notification of concentration to the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania on 11 July 2023, requesting to authorise a concentration between UAB EDS INVEST 3 and the Company by acquiring 36,096,193 ordinary registered dematerialised shares of the Company from the Company's current shareholder SEKENORA HOLDINGS LIMITED (legal No. HE371000, Address Arch. Makrios III Avenue 232, APOLLO COURT, Flat/Office 504, Limassol, Cyprus). The Company has no further information on this transaction. 02-08-2023 Company information on a material event Consolidated annual report for 2023 106 Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania in 2023 August 1 decided to allow the concentration of UAB EDS INVEST 3 by acquiring the shares of the joint-stock company "Snaigė". 10-08-2023 AB SNAIGĖ doubles EBITDA in the first half of the year AB SNAIGĖ achieved excellent results in the first half of the year, clearly reflected in the doubling of its consolidated unaudited EBITDA from EUR -1.7 million for the same period last year to EUR -0.8 million this year. The significant and positive difference between this year's and last year's EBITDA demonstrates the Company's potential and viability. It is clear evidence that the Company is moving forward in the right direction. Mindaugas Sologubas, Managing Director of Snaigė AB, says that not only the achieved results are pleasing, but also their positive dynamics. "The Company is slowly but surely climbing out of a deep deficit", says Sologubas. We are particularly pleased with the second quarter results: since the announcement of the restructuring in the first half of 2022, we finally have positive EBITDA. Although we only earned EUR 2,000, this is a huge breakthrough for the Company, as last year in the same quarter we had an EBITDA loss of EUR 1 million and were in a really unenviable situation. Even under the most adverse conditions, we did not give up and achieved a positive result thanks to the efficient work of the entire SNAIGĖ team, the support of our customers and suppliers. Sales revenues of EUR 9.2 million in the first half of this year are around 20% lower than in the same period last year. According to M. Sologub, this is a consequence of limited working capital. "We have more orders than we can produce due to limited working capital, so we are forced to postpone or even not accept some orders. It is not possible to attract additional financing and increase sales volumes in the absence of an approved restructuring plan," said M. Sologubas. Although the Company's restructuring plan has not been approved due to the legal proceedings that have been dragging on for almost a year, AB SNAIGĖ is already implementing its objectives: it is increasing the production volumes of more profitable professional refrigeration equipment (from 61% in 2022 to 69% in 2023), expanding the range of these products, employing its own production facilities to fulfil the orders of other manufacturing companies, expanding the base of its existing customers, and expanding its reach into new markets. By implementing its strategy and strengthening its financial position, the Company is effectively tackling the challenges of the past and striving to achieve sustainable growth for the future. AB SNAIGĖ is currently awaiting a second decision of the Kaunas Regional Court on its restructuring plan. The Company hopes that the court will approve the plan, thus allowing the Company to operate and pay its creditors. The vast majority (over 80%) of the company's non-mortgage creditors and Sodra support the plan. The Company is supported by the Economic Committee of the Seimas and the vast majority of its customers. AB SNAIGĖ was forced to embark on a restructuring process in order to preserve the continuity of its operations, which were threatened by the outbreak of the war in Ukraine last year. 29-09-2023 EDS INVEST 3 acquired a controlling stake in AB SNAIGĖ On September 29, 2023, AB SNAIGĖ received a notification from UAB EDS INVEST 3 regarding the completion of a share purchase and sale transaction. UAB EDS INVEST 3 acquired 36,096,193 units of ordinary registered non-material company shares from the former company shareholder SEKENORA HOLDINGS LIMITED on September 28, 2023, at a price of 500,000 EUR, i.e., 0.01385 per share unit. Taking into account the requirements of Article 26 of the Securities Law, UAB EDS INVEST 3 intends to submit a mandatory official offer to purchase the remaining company shares. 03-10-2023 Company information on a material event After change of controlling shareholder, the Board of AB SNAIGĖ has dismissed Mindaugas Sologubas from the position of the company's general director from October 4, 2023, and appointed Company‘s executive director Ruslanas Lugovik as temporary general director from October 5, 2023. 03-10-2023 Notification of a shareholder's intention to launch a mandatory non-competitive tender offer for the remaining shares of AB Snaigė Snaigė informs that on 3 October 2023 a letter from the company's shareholder UAB EDS INVEST 3 was received regarding the intention to make a mandatory non-competitive tender offer for the acquisition of the remaining shares of AB Snaigė.

The Company informs that the working hours of the warehouses will not change, the products will reach the Customers at the scheduled time. 3.4 Strategies and plans In order to avoid the temporary difficulties that the Company is experiencing (higher raw material costs than the Company's production costs, partial loss of the Ukrainian market as a result of the war as well as stagnation in the Company's other markets, higher energy costs, etc.) and the potential negative impact on the Company's business continuity, the Board of the Company has initiated a restructuring process of the Company. The main strategic goal of the Company during the restructuring period is to optimize and reorganize the Company's activities so that the Company can fulfil its obligations to creditors as soon as possible. The restructuring will include the implementation of planned measures to increase the production and sales of higher value-added professional and medical refrigeration appliances, as well as the production and sales of more profitable exclusive household refrigeration appliances. This will improve the Company's profitability and other financial indicators. In addition, the Company plans to sell part of its real estate and financial assets. In the short term, the Company's main objective is to maintain the confidence of its creditors and to secure an uninterrupted supply of raw materials and components. This is a prerequisite for the continuity of the Company's operations. During the restructuring process, the Company will continue its operations and its obligations to employees and customers. The Company will continue to pay its taxes to the Social Security and the State on time, as before. Consolidated annual report for 2023 108 4.
