Leuven, Belgium – 30 September 2025 – 7:30 AM CET, Crescent NV, Geldenaaksebaan 329, 3001 Heverlee (Euronext Brussels: OPTI)

Crescent (Euronext Brussels: OPTI) confirms its plans and ambition to take drastic steps in its transformation towards a profitable and growing enterprise focused on IoT-related markets by specifying the terms of the planned capital increase as was communicated to the investment community on September 19, 2025.

A restructuring operation to strengthen Crescent core and eliminate historic debts

Shareholders will be asked to approve a capital increase at an issue price of €0.007 per share, for a total amount of €3.784k.

The operation will combine:

• The conversion of a large portion of the debts owed to Van Zele Holding NV into share capital,
• The contribution of fresh capital by existing and new investors.

This operation will restore equity, reduce debt and free up resources to invest in working capital and future profitable growth.

Three strategic pillars for future profitable growth

Crescent has launched an ambitious development program to be presented shortly, built on three differentiating and complementary pillars:

• 1. Historic Option Core of world-class IOT connectivity for a Rejuvenated and fully certified CloudGate product line with state-of-the-art processing technology at the highest levels of cybersecurity for ease of installation, reflecting many years of engineering effort beginning to bear fruit.
• 1. Defense A new and strategic focal area where Crescent will intensify its expertise and strengthen its position in the field of RF technologies for use in drones and aerial as well as land-based vehicles.
• 1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) A major driver of software-enabled technological transformation to support IoT systems and communication devices with intelligence.

"We needed to divest from cash-consuming efforts to create a profitable future in smart lighting markets in order to consolidate and focus our efforts on emerging opportunities in smart building and smart city applications, while investing in new growth drivers in Defense and AI. This combination of experience and innovative technologies marks a true transformation for Crescent — solid, innovative, and creating sustainable value." – Eric Van Zele
