The Group's ability to meet these objectives is based upon the assumption that it will be successful in executing its strategy and is also dependable on the accuracy of a number of assumptions involving factors that are significantly or entirely beyond its control.

FINAL REMARKS
Top-tier luxury clients continue to exhibit spending behaviours that defy market trends, contrasting with the aspirational luxury segment. The global luxury yacht industry remains resilient amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, highlighting its stability and strength. In this context, the Group has continued to deliver outstanding performance, consistently gaining market share and reinforcing its strategic position not only in high-value segments but also in new emerging and high-growth segments. To continue building on the expected growth trends of the global luxury yacht industry, enhancing its value proposition and strengthening its overall resilience, the Group's future plans are based on the following strategic pillars:
• The Group will enhance and expand its product offering and product mix ahead of evolving market trends and customer expectations, with the aim to consolidate its market leadership position in both composite yachts and made-to-measure yachts segments, focusing on the segments with the highest growth potential and profitability.
{8}------------------------------------------------
- The Group will continue to invest in innovation, technologies, and products with the aim of providing a more environmentally responsible yachting experience, attributable to the skillful use of more sustainable materials and processes aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the products.
- The Group will expand its made-to-measure offering into larger alloy yachts, developing new alloy-hulled super yacht models under its iconic Riva, Pershing, and Custom Line brands.
- The Group will also broaden both its yacht brokerage, chartering and management services and its after-sales and refitting services, extend its brand extension and licensing activities.
- Finally, the Group will keep investing in the internalization of high value-added activities to support its future growth and product portfolio expansion.
COMPANY'S CEO COMMENT
"2025 has been a challenging year for the global yachting industry and in highly selective market conditions companies with industrial vision, financial discipline and strategic consistency truly stand out.
We achieved all the objectives we had set for ourselves, accurately interpreting market dynamics and, as a result, delivering outstanding performance: revenues grew faster than the reference sector and margins improved significantly.
In an industry where reputation cannot be improvised, we continue to strengthen our leadership in high-margin segments, maintaining a rigorous balance between growth and the quality of our order backlog. The strength of our brands is not merely historical — it is a competitive asset reinforced through innovation, product excellence and direct control of the strategic value chain.
We do not aim to build more boats; we aim to build better boats, with increasingly distinctive technological, design and stylistic content, capable of attracting even the most selective clientele.
Management's objective and consistently executed strategy remain clear: profitable growth, industry leadership and long-term value creation for all stakeholders"

TAKEOVERS CODE IMPLICATIONS
Reference is made to (i) the announcement of Azúr a.s. (the "Offeror") dated January 19, 2026, in respect of, among other things, the voluntary conditional partial public tender offer by KKCG Maritime to acquire up to 52,132,861 shares of the Company (the "Offer"); and (ii) the response announcement of the Company dated January 30, 2026.
The unaudited results as of December 31, 2025 included in this announcement (the "2025 Unaudited Results") constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 10 of The Code on Takeovers and Mergers of Hong Kong (the "Takeovers Code") and should be reported on by the Company's financial adviser and auditors in accordance with Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code.
In view of the requirements of timely disclosures of the inside information under Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules and the Inside Information Provisions, the Company is required to issue this announcement as soon as practicable and given the time constraints, the Company has encountered genuine practical difficulties (time-wise or otherwise) in meeting the reporting requirements set out in Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code. Under Rule 10 and Practice Note 2 of the Takeovers Code, if a profit forecast is made during an offer period and is first published in an announcement, it must be repeated in full, together with the reports from the Company's financial advisers and auditors on the said profit forecast, in the next document to be sent to the shareholders by the Company (the "Shareholders' Document"). However,
{10}------------------------------------------------
if the annual results of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025 which fall within the ambit of Rule 10.9 of the Takeovers Code and to which the 2025 Unaudited Results relates, are published prior to the despatch of the next Shareholders' Document and the relevant results together with the notes to the financial statements are included in the next Shareholders' Document, the requirements to report on the 2025 Unaudited Results under Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code will no longer apply. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the 2025 Unaudited Results have not been reported on in accordance with the requirements under Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code and do not meet the standard required by Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution in placing reliance on the 2025 Unaudited Results in assessing the merits and demerits of the Offer.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in or investing in the securities of the Company and should not rely solely on such information. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional adviser.
