Naples, 8 th September 2025 – Next Geosolutions ("NextGeo" or the "Company"), one of the leading international players in marine geoscience and offshore construction support services for the energy sector and listed on Euronext Growth Milan, announces the opening of a new entity in the Middle East through the establishment of Next Geosolutions Middle East (FZE), incorporated within the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF-Zone) in the United Arab Emirates.

This strategic initiative is part of the Company's announced expansion plan, aimed at strengthening its operational capacity in a region of crucial importance for the Oil & Gas sector. Market estimates indicate that, in the Middle East alone, EPCI expenditure (both CapEx and OpEx) for the development of offshore Oil & Gas Platforms and Pipelines is expected to exceed €100 billion by 2030¹ .

In line with the Group's expansion strategy, Next Geosolutions Middle East will provide core offshore survey services, like geophysical and geotechnical investigations, leveraging on the consolidated expertise and technologies of the parent company. In addition, thanks to the opportunities arising from the acquisition of Rana Subsea, Next Geosolutions Middle East will further enhance its offering with subsea and diving services, thereby delivering integrated solutions covering the entire lifecycle of offshore projects. Working in synergy with Rana Subsea, NextGeo is also planning to establish additional operational bases in the region, ensuring a comprehensive presence in a rapidly expanding market.

To support the new regional headquarters, a dedicated logistics facility within the SAIF-Zone will provide storage, equipment management, and rapid mobilization for projects across the Gulf and surrounding areas, while benefiting from the Group's existing fleet and technical resources.

Leading this new phase of growth, together with NextGeo's current Management, will be Alessandro La Tassa, appointed General Manager of Next Geosolutions Middle East. Long based in the United Arab Emirates, La Tassa brings over 15 years of international experience in offshore survey project management, primarily in the Middle East and across nearly 15 countries worldwide. He has developed a strong expertise in offshore engineering and pipeline/structure positioning, having held high-grade roles in leading companies such as Saipem (as Area Survey Manager) and Fugro, working with major international clients and contributing to offshore campaigns for some of the world's largest energy companies.

Giovanni Ranieri, CEO of Next Geosolutions, added: "The opening of the new office in the Middle East represents a further step in the growth path, aimed not only at continuing the process of expanding NextGeo's footprint in a sustainable and strategic way, but also at increasing and consolidating the Group's presence in a highly strategic market. The decision to assign the leadership to Alessandro La Tassa shows how our desire is to combine an international vision with local know-how, offering our customers safe and high value-added solutions."

Through this initiative, Next Geosolutions continues in confirming its commitment to establishing itself as a global reference point in the offshore geosciences sector, combining technological innovation, strong technical expertise and an increasingly widespread presence in key markets.
