Annex 1

Fees for non-audit services charged by PricewaterhouseCoopers

The audit committee and the auditors take the matter of auditor independence very seriously and each nonaudit engagement is carefully considered and approved by the audit committee.

The Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 Article 4(2), also referenced within the Accountancy Profession Act 7(e), establishes that when an audit firm has been providing non-audit services to the audited PIE for a period of three or more consecutive financial years, the total fees for services provided by the Audit Firm shall be limited to a maximum of 70% of the average of the fees paid in the last three consecutive financial years for the statutory audit of the audited entity and, where applicable, of its parent undertaking, of its controlled undertakings and of the consolidated financial statements of that group of undertakings.

The fee cap for Malita Investments plc applies to the non-audit services provided by PwC Malta, being the Audit Firm registered with the Malta Accountancy Board. However, the fees generated in respect of services provided by affiliated entities of PwC Malta are not subject to the fee cap. PwC's disclosure within the audit report separates the non-audit fees subject to the fee cap from the non-audit fees by the affiliated entities (which are not subject to the fee cap). The Audit Committee and PwC Malta Audit Partner approved the nonaudit fees by the PwC Malta affiliated entities on the basis of the EU Directive and local Act.

The fees paid to PwC for non-audit services for financial period ended 31 December 2023 were as follows:

(i) Rights Issue Costs – Eur66,321

(ii) Advisory services including IFRIC 12 model, ESEF – Eur16,520

(iii) Preparation of Projections and funding requirements – Eur28,764
