Intercos — Regulatory Filings 2024

Feb 19, 2024

PRESS RELEASE

Agrate Brianza (MB), February 19, 2024 - The Group headed by Intercos S.p.A. (ICOS.MI) ("Intercos" or the "Company") is committed on a daily basis to ensuring the cybersecurity and the personal data of its employees, clients, advisors, and all its stakeholders with the aim of preventing and intervening promptly in the event of suspicious activities by third parties.

As part of this constant monitoring activity, in the evening of February 18, 2024, an unauthorized access to our systems was detected, committed by unknown parties and not due to a malfunction of the systems themselves or human error.

Intercos Group immediately started an investigation in collaboration with two leading global cybersecurity international firms and, with the support of IT security and legal experts, has undertaken the necessary measures aimed at containing the spread of the malware in the data and systems.

The Company implemented a temporary suspension of IT services in order to allow the sanitisation and progressive restart under secure conditions for a timely resumption of ordinary operations, as soon as possible.

Based on the information available as of today, the Company believes that the temporary suspension of IT systems will not have a significant impact on the Group's results.

Intercos hereby informs that, in line with its own corporate policy, it will not accept any ransom requests that it may receive, as accepting such requests will results in funding criminal activities.

A formal report of the incident is being filed with the competent authorities.

Intercos will provide further information on the actions it will take and the progressive restoration of the IT systems involved.
