PHAROL

PHAROL, SGPS S.A. - 2025

  • Positive net result, reflecting the occurrence of non-recurring tax refunds, the profitability of the financial investment portfolios and budgetary discipline;
  • Strengthening of equity, consolidating the recovery path started in 2024;
  • Operating costs kept under control, in line with the commitment to efficiency and adjustment of the structure to the current size of the Company;
  • Solid cash position and absence of interest-bearing debt, ensuring financial stability and strategic flexibility;
  • Maintenance of the valuation of Rio Forte's debt instruments at €51.9 million, supported by a court decision, still subject to appeal, issued in 2026 within the Rio Forte insolvency proceedings, recognising PHAROL as a creditor for the nominal amount of €897 million;
  • Court decision, still subject to appeal, that dispelled the contingency associated with ESI, in the amount of 750 million euros.

Message from the President

Luís Palha da Silva

"After a financial year in 2024 marked by a significant net profit and a very substantial strengthening of shareholders' equity, 2025 confirmed the consolidation of PHAROL's financial position.

The year's performance reflected a combination of factors, including the profitability of the financial investment portfolios, the continued rigorous management of operating costs, and the occurrence of tax refunds, the latter being of a non-recurring nature.

With the divestment process in Oi completed and the major uncertainties associated with the Rio Forte process removed, PHAROL now presents a reduced risk profile and greater strategic clarity for the protection and enhancement of its main assets.

In 2026, a particularly relevant development occurred within the scope of the Rio Forte insolvency proceedings; PHAROL was judicially recognised, in a decision still subject to appeal, as a creditor for the nominal amount of €897 million. The contingency allegedly associated with ESI was also dismissed, thereby significantly strengthening the Company's legal position.

Although the specific financial effects will depend on the subsequent developments of the proceedings, this represents a key step in safeguarding the interests of PHAROL and its Shareholders.

With a solid financial structure and no material debt, PHAROL will continue to act prudently in its treasury management and in the assessment of diversification opportunities that contribute to the creation of sustainable value."

01. MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

The financial year 2025 consolidated Pharol as a financially sound company, with a robust balance sheet structure, comfortable liquidity levels and prudent management of its main risks.

After an exceptional year of 2024, marked by the recognition of tax refunds and the significant reinforcement of equity, the performance of 2025 repeats the presentation of positive recurring results, supported by a rigorous management of operating costs, the judicious profitability of cash flow and the absence of financial indebtedness.

This positive net result achieved in 2025, although lower than in the previous year, demonstrates Pharol's ability to generate value in a more normalized context. At the same time, equity maintained a positive evolution, reinforcing the Company's financial strength.

Throughout the year, treasury management continued to comply with principles of prudence, liquidity and diversification, within the framework of a policy defined by the Board of Directors, with financial investments that maintained a conservative profile, while ensuring capital protection and a positive contribution to results.

On a broader horizon, 2025 was also a year of deepening reflection on the future of the Society. The conclusion of the divestment process in Oi and the stabilization of the financial position allowed the Board of Directors to devote greater attention to the evaluation of diversification opportunities and a possible new investment phase, always in strict accordance with Pharol's corporate purpose.

At the same time, Pharol has maintained close monitoring of ongoing legal and tax proceedings, in particular those related to Rio Forte, whose accounting valuation remains unchanged.

The Board of Directors will continue to act with discipline, transparency and a sense of responsibility, aiming to preserve and create value for Shareholders.

Pharol enters 2026 with a solid financial foundation, controlled risks and strategic flexibility to, in a selective and thoughtful way, explore opportunities that contribute to the creation of sustainable value in the medium and long term.

  1. ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

As of December 31, 2025, PHAROL held as its main assets (1) the debt instruments of Rio Forte Investments S.A. ("Rio Forte") with a nominal value of 897 million Euros and currently valued at 51.9 million Euros, (2) treasury investments in portfolios of shares and bonds in the amount of 27.8 million Euros and (3) cash and cash equivalents in the amount of 14.9 million Euros.

The debt instruments of Rio Forte, whose bankruptcy proceedings initiated in December 2014 are still pending before the Luxembourg courts, remain valued at a recovery value of 5.79% of their nominal value and amount to 51.9 million euros. During the financial year 2025, there were no relevant occurrences that would justify a revision of its recovery value. There are also, related to the investment made in Rio Forte, other lawsuits opened against the former Directors and the former external Auditor that are underway in the Portuguese instances.

The treasury applications that PHAROL subscribed to in August 2022 (10 million Euros) and reinforced in August 2023 (15 million Euros) are composed of financial assets that mostly include portfolios of Bonds and Shares of listed companies. On December 31, 2025, the overall value of these portfolios amounts to 27.8 million Euros, with an increase of 779 thousand Euros compared to the value on December 31, 2024.

After the purchase of 39.7% of Oi in 2014, PHAROL carried out several operations that significantly changed its stake in the company. In 2015, after the voluntary conversion of preferred shares into common shares, it held 27.18% of Oi's total capital, with voting rights limited to 15%. In 2016, Oi entered into Judicial Reorganization, and the capital increase resulting from the reorganization plan diluted PHAROL's stake to 6.88% in 2018 and to 5.51% in 2019, even with the partial subscription of the capital increase.

As of 2020, PHAROL began the progressive sale of its Oi shares, reducing the stake to 5.37%. Between 2021 and 2024, following an asset rotation strategy, it continued to divest shares, successively reducing the stake to 2.2% in 2022, 0.18% in 2023, 0.02% in 2024 and sold the remainder in 2025.

03. MAIN EVENTS

Below we list the events that occurred between January 1, 2025 and February 25, 2026, which can be analyzed in more detail and are published in full on the PHAROL website (pharol.pt).

QUALIFYING HOLDINGS IN PHAROL

The main changes in PHAROL's qualifying holdings were as follows:

Jun 06, 2025 | Oi, S.A. informed that it sold 89,651,205 shares, representing 10% of PHAROL's capital stock and voting rights.

Jun 06, 2025 | Burlington Loan Management DAC informed that it purchased 89,651,205 shares, representing 10% of the share capital and voting rights of PHAROL, leaving a total of 175,316,330, representing 19.56% of the share capital but limiting the voting rights in PHAROL to 10% in accordance with the Company's Bylows of Association.

PHAROL'S CORPORATE EVENTS

Below we list PHAROL's main corporate events:

Mar 26, 2025 | PHAROL informed that the General Meeting of PHAROL was held where it was decided by the Shareholders to approve:

  • Item One: The management report, the balance sheet and the individual accounts, for the financial year 2024;
  • Item Two: The management report, the balance sheet and the consolidated accounts, for the financial year 2024;
  • Item Four: The general assessment of the Company's management and supervision;
  • Item Five: The acquisition and disposal of own shares.

As for Item Three, relating to the proposal for the allocation of profits, PHAROL decided to submit to the Annual General Meeting on 26 March the following proposal for the allocation of profits that was already included in its financial statements: "Considering that in the year ended 31 December 2024 there was a positive net profit in the amount of 24,207,036 euros, it is proposed that this amount be transferred to the Company's Retained Earnings."

A Shareholder, after having approved the Individual Report and Accounts, within the scope of item 1 of the agenda, voted against the proposal for the allocation of profits presented by the Board of Directors because it understands that article 29/1/b) of the Company's articles of association is applicable, which provides as follows: "a percentage of not less than 40% (forty percent) of the distributable profits will be distributed to the shareholders, as dividend, without prejudice to the General Meeting, by a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes cast, being able to resolve to reduce the dividend or even not to distribute it".

8


The proposal presented by the Board of Directors was voted in favour only by a simple majority (52%) of the votes, which is lower than the 2/3 provided for in article 29/1/b) of the Company's articles of association, if it is understood that this provision could be applicable to the case.

The Board of Directors, in the best interest of the COMPANY - taking into account (i) the provisions of article 324 of the Commercial Companies Code (CSC) and that PHAROL registers, among others, unavailable reserves of an amount equal to the amount for which its own shares are accounted for; (ii) and, in turn, that, under the terms of article 32 of the same Code, "the company's assets may not be distributed to the shareholders when the company's own capital, including the net profit for the year, as it results from the accounts prepared and approved in accordance with the law, is less than the sum of the share capital and the reserves that the law or the contract does not allow to be distributed to the shareholders or becomes less than this sum as a result of distribution" - considers that there are no conditions to distribute any dividend for the year ended December 31, 2024, as it cannot be considered that there are distributable profits in view of the aforementioned article 32 of the CSC, a rule that prevents distribution and, therefore, article 29/1/b of the articles of association cannot be applied to the case.

Regarding item number six of the Agenda of the General Meeting of PHAROL, SGPS S.A., held today, has as its object an amendment to the Company's articles of association, for which the presence or representation of shareholders holding at least 1/3 of the capital is required, as determined by article 383/2 of the CSC, which at the time of the discussion and deliberation on this point did not occur, it was then declared that there was no minimum constitutive quorum for this deliberation to be discussed and voted on.

Thus, as established under the terms of article 383/4 of the CSC, the General Assembly met on the second date to discuss and vote on item number six of the Agenda indicated below:

Item Six: To resolve on the proposal of the Board of Directors for the regrouping, without reduction of the share capital, of the shares representing the share capital of the Company, on the terms of the regrouping process and treatment of fractions of remaining shares, as well as on the consequent amendment to the articles of association (paragraph 2 of article 4 of the articles of association).

11/Apr/2025 | PHAROL informed that the General Meeting of PHAROL was held, the following was discussed by the Shareholders:

Item Six: To resolve on the proposal of the Board of Directors for the regrouping, without reduction of the share capital, of the shares representing the share capital of the Company, on the terms of the regrouping process and treatment of fractions of remaining shares, as well as on the consequent amendment to the articles of association (paragraph 2 of article 4 of the articles of association).

The proposal presented by the Board of Directors was not approved because the majority of 2/3 of the votes cast required by paragraph 3 of article 386 of the Commercial Companies Code was not reached.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


OTHER RELEVANT EVENTS OF PHAROL

Below we list other relevant events of PHAROL:

Feb 26, 2025 | PHAROL informed about the disclosure of the Report of the Judicial Administrators in the insolvency proceedings of Rio Forte (Rapport n°29 des Curateurs), for December 31, 2024, available at www.espiritosantoinsolvencies.lu

Jul 01, 2025 | PHAROL informed about the disclosure of the Report of the Judicial Administrators in the insolvency proceedings of Rio Forte (Rapport n°30 des Curateurs), for April 30, 2025, available at www.espiritosantoinsolvencies.lu

Oct 24, 2025 | PHAROL informed about the disclosure of the Report of the Judicial Administrators in the insolvency proceedings of Rio Forte (Rapport n°31 des Curateurs), for August 31, 2025, available at www.espiritosantoinsolvencies.lu

Oct 24, 2025 | PHAROL informed that it received from the Tax Authority the amount of 1.21 million euros, referring to interest associated with the IRC process for the year 2005.

Feb 13, 2026 | PHAROL reported that the Luxembourg Commercial Court, in the context of Rio Forte's insolvency proceedings, recognized PHAROL's claim on Rio Forte's insolvent estate in the amount of capital of 750 million Euros, to be added to the interest due until the date of opening of the insolvency proceedings.

Thus, the total value of PHAROL's claim on Rio Forte's insolvent estate remains at 897 million euros and respective legal interest.

It also informed that in the proceeding brought by an Ad Hoc Curator of Espirito Santo Internacional, S.A ("ESI"), seeking the annulment of an allegedly undue payment of an accumulated amount of 750 million euros of Notes made by ESI in early 2014 to Pharol SGPS, S.A (200 million euros) and PT Finance (550 million euros), In this process communicated to the market on February 1, 2019, it was decided that PHAROL does not have to return any amounts to ESI.

The above-mentioned judicial decisions, although subject to appeal within 40 days from the Notification of the Rio Forte Curator and the Ad Hoc Curator, fully upheld the positions held by PHAROL from the outset.

Considering that these decisions are in line with PHAROL's expectations, they do not imply any type of accounting treatment in PHAROL's accounts, nor do they have a direct impact on the results of the 2025 financial year or on the expected recovery values included in the company's balance sheet.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


04. KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The risk factors and events described below may adversely or significantly affect PHAROL's financial position and, as a result, cause a decrease or increase in the market price of common shares.

Macro Risk Sub-Risk Description
Economic Risks Information Security PHAROL is exposed to security risks on a daily basis, including the availability, integrity and confidentiality of information.
Global Macroeconomic Adverse impact on the value of financial assets and PHAROL's position due to global macroeconomic shocks (inflation, rising interest rates, recession, banking crisis, geopolitical conflicts or new global health crisis).
Financial Risks Foreign Exchange Exchange rate risks are essentially related to investments in financial instruments in foreign currency that are part of the investment portfolios in shares and bonds. The Company's policy is not to hedge the value of the financial investment. However, operations of significant size with effects on treasury may generate hedging operations.
Risk of Financial Cyberfraud The growing dependence on electronic platforms for treasury operations exposes PHAROL to risks of targeted cyber fraud and enhances possible improper access to bank accounts and unauthorized financial movements.
Interest rates Interest rate risks are essentially related to the costs incurred and obtained with debt and financial investments at variable interest rates. PHAROL may be indirectly exposed to these risks in the investments made. It should be noted that PHAROL has no bank debt as of December 31, 2025. As market interest rates also affect the discount rates used for the purposes of impairment tests on the entity's various assets.
Treasury Applications - Credit and Liquidity PHAROL is essentially subject to credit risk in its treasury Investments. In order to mitigate risks, the Board of Directors has defined a policy for treasury investments. As of the second half of 2022, PHAROL was also exposed to other price risks, i.e., the risk of fluctuation in the fair value of the financial instruments that are part of the contracted investment portfolios, due to changes in market prices.
Eventuality of Rio Forte's default in the repayment of the instruments The Rio Forte Instruments currently held by PHAROL are not secured by assets. Therefore, even if there are amounts available for reimbursement by Rio Forte's creditors, PHAROL's right to reimbursement will be shared pro rata with Rio Forte's

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


Consolidated Annual Report | 2025
| | | other unsecured creditors and only after the repayment of all debts to any secured creditors and confirmation of the validation of the credits. PHAROL evaluates this instrument every six months, with monitoring by the Fiscal Council, External Audit and ROC. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Legal and Legal Risks | Legal proceedings | The Board of Directors subcontracts the risk analysis of the legal proceedings to external lawyers and consultants, in order to know, for each one, what is their assessment of PHAROL's liability (probable, possible or remote occurrence), the status of the process, the amounts involved, provisioned and paid and what steps to take in the defense of PHAROL's interests. |
| | Litigation or investigations initiated under the Rio Forte Instruments or the Business Combination | PHAROL may incur liability in connection with litigation or other future proceedings and incur defence costs in such litigation or other proceedings. Any liability incurred may adversely affect PHAROL's financial condition. |
| | Possibility of non-compliance with tax contingency commitments | According to the contracts entered with Oi, it is incumbent on Oi to pay the liabilities resulting from the tax contingencies originated until May 5, 2014, even though PHAROL is also jointly and severally liable. PHAROL permanently evaluates the size of probable and possible cases and tries to maintain an adequate level of counter-guarantees for these, however, the size of the counter-guarantees obtained from Oi for the eventuality of unfavourable outcomes in the resolution of tax proceedings may not be sufficient. |

06. STRATEGIC PROFILE AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

Strategic Profile

The conduct of Pharol's business is based on the preservation and optimization of the value of its assets, the strict containment of operating costs and the prudent management of the financial, legal and tax risks that result from its historical path.

As a holding company, Pharol focuses on the active management of its financial assets and shareholdings, while ensuring a balanced financial structure, without debt and with adequate levels of liquidity.

  • As of December 31, 2025, Pharol's key assets include:
  • a significant treasury position, consisting of cash, deposits and portfolios of financial investments;
  • Rio Forte Investments S.A.'s debt instruments, valued according to a conservative and consistent methodology over time;
  • residual holdings held through wholly-controlled subsidiaries.

The management of the treasury and its investments is framed by a policy defined by the Board of Directors, which establishes criteria for liquidity, diversification, risk and profitability, ensuring that they maintain a strictly financial nature and do not constitute strategic investments or involve the exercise of corporate influence.

Pharol maintains a lean operational structure, adjusted to its size and activity, allowing strict cost control and high operational efficiency.

Future Perspectives and Investment Policy

The stabilisation of Pharol's financial position, the absence of debt and the consolidation of equity create conditions for a broader strategic reflection on the future of the Company.

The Board of Directors recognizes that the current concentration of assets warrants the thoughtful assessment of diversification strategies, with a view to creating value in the medium and long term. In this context, investment opportunities that cumulatively concern:

  • the corporate purpose of Pharol as a holding company;
  • demanding risk, profitability and governance criteria;
  • a selective and gradual approach to resource allocation.

Any possible investment decision will be preceded by detailed analyses, independent evaluations and adequate consideration of the risks involved, and will always be communicated to the market under the applicable legal terms.

15


About the ongoing legal and tax proceedings, Pharol will continue to actively monitor their evolution, maintaining a prudent stance in the assessment of their financial impacts, without prejudice to the firm defence of its interests.

The Board of Directors believes that the combination of a solid financial position, discipline in risk management and strategic flexibility puts Pharol in a favourable position to face future challenges and, in a responsible manner, seek new avenues of value creation for its shareholders.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


08. ACTIVITIES OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

In accordance with its bylaws, the Board of Directors establishes the commitment to provide its non-executive members with an effective ability to monitor, evaluate and supervise the executive management of the Company.

During the year 2025, PHAROL's non-executive directors were able to carry out their duties effectively and without having faced constraints of any kind. In this sense, the following activities stand out:

In addition to the exercise of their respective powers not delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, PHAROL's non-executive directors performed their function of supervising the performance of the executive management, under the terms and for the purposes of paragraph 8 of Article 407 of the Commercial Companies Code and the regulations of the Board of Directors. In fact, under those rules, the delegation of powers to the Managing Director does not exclude the legal duty of general supervision of non-executive directors. As of December 31, 2025, PHAROL's Board of Directors includes 1 independent director, corresponding to 50% of the non-executive directors and 33% of all members of the Board, with assiduous and active participation in the meetings of this body.

In addition, the accumulation of the positions of Chairman/Managing Director did not in any way prejudice the effective performance of functions by the non-executive members of the Board, having proved to be, in fact, manifestly appropriate to the current moment in the company's life, for the following reasons:

The concentration of these positions in a single holder is fully in line with the efficient and rigorous performance of functions by the members of the management body in the current period; in fact, the current governance model maintains the separation of powers between the Board of Directors and its Executive member, in particular as a result of the functions performed by non-executive directors.

Throughout 2025, the Board maintained a set of practices and mechanisms aimed at facilitating informed and independent decision-making by non-executive directors, including, inter alia, the following:

  • Issuance of regular and detailed reports of the main decisions taken by the Managing Director;
  • Detailed presentations made by the Managing Director, at the meetings of the Board of Directors, of the aspects considered relevant of the activity carried out, providing the non-executive directors with the additional information requested and enhancing an in-depth and fruitful debate on the company's activity (in particular, regarding strategic decisions);
  • Obtaining, jointly or individually, by non-executive directors, information necessary or convenient for the exercise of their duties, thus allowing the response to be provided in a timely and appropriate manner;

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


  • Without prejudice to cases of recognized urgency, the meetings of the Board of Directors are convened at least 5 days in advance and the agenda and supporting documentation for the resolutions are made available at least 3 days in advance; e
  • Assiduous and active presence of non-executive directors at the meetings of the Board of Directors, with a large number of meetings of this body (11 meetings) being held, as well as informal meetings and presentations with non-executive directors, aimed at clarifying and discussing specific topics related to financial information and the Company's business.

In addition to these activities, it should be noted that, since the Company has chosen the classic model, its supervisory body is a Supervisory Board, which, in the exercise of its legal, statutory and regulatory functions better described in the Corporate Governance Report, presents the result of its activity in autonomous reports and opinions, including the supervisory activity report and the opinions on the report and accounts, issued each year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2025

(Amounts expressed in euro, unless otherwise stated)

1. Introduction

PHAROL – Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A., ("PHAROL", "Company" or "Company") has its registered office at Rua Gorgel do Amaral, nº4, CV Esqª 1250-119 Lisbon, Portugal, and its main activity and objective is the management of shareholdings in other companies.

The PHAROL Group ("Group") is made up of PHAROL and its subsidiaries (Note 2).

PHAROL's shares are listed on Euronext Lisbon – Sociedade Gestora de Mercados Regulados, S.A..

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for publication on February 26, 2026.

Based on the agreements entered on 30 March 2015 between PHAROL and Oi, PHAROL has since held Rio Forte's debt instruments with a nominal value of 897 million Euros, currently valued at 51.9 million Euros.

2. Presentation bases

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance on February 26, 2026, and are also subject to approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting, in accordance with applicable legislation.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, as this is the functional currency of PHAROL SGPS S.A.. The financial statements of the investee companies denominated in foreign currency have been converted to Euros in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 3.

PHAROL SGPS's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, including all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") that were in force on 1 January 2025, approved by the European Union (EU).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption of continuity of operations.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS, the Board of Directors has adopted certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported assets and liabilities, as well as the income and costs for the periods reported (Note 3).

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


a) Principles of consolidation

Controlled companies

PHAROL SGPS S.A. fully consolidated the financial statements of all subsidiaries. Control is considered to exist when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns arising from its involvement with the investee company and has the ability to affect those returns through the power it exercises over that company. Where the Group has substantial control of other entities set up for a specific purpose, even though it does not have a majority of the voting rights, they are consolidated by the full consolidation method.

Where applicable, the participation of third parties in the equity and net income of the companies included in the consolidation is presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and in the Consolidated Statement of Income, respectively, under the heading "Non-controlling interests".

The assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. In cases where the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the identified net assets, the difference calculated is recorded as a gain in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year. The interests of non-controlling shareholders are presented as a proportion of the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities.

The results of the subsidiary companies acquired or sold during the period are included in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss from the date of their acquisition or until the date of their disposal, respectively.

Transactions and balances between controlled companies are eliminated in the consolidation process. Capital gains arising from transactions between Group companies are also cancelled out in the consolidation process.

Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the controlled companies, with a view to standardizing their accounting policies with those of the Group.

The PHAROL Group is made up of the following companies:

Company Headquarters Company Type Company Type Direct Dec-25 Effective Dec-24 Effective
Bratel BV Amsterdam Subsidiary Investment Management Pharol SGPS (100%) 100% 100%
Pharol Brazil 1 São Paulo Subsidiary Investment Management Bratel BV (100%) - -
Bratel S.a.r.l. Luxembourg Subsidiary Investment Management Bratel BV (100%) 100% 100%

1 On December 30, 2024, PHAROL Brasil S.A. was liquidated.

Additionally, it should be noted that PHAROL as of December 31, 2024 held a stake in Oi's capital of 0.02% (excluding treasury shares).

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025

3. Key Accounting Policies, Judgments, and Estimates

Main accounting policies

a) Classification of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

Assets realizable less than one year from the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are classified as current. Liabilities are also classified as current when they are due less than one year, or when there is no unconditional right to defer their settlement for a period of at least 12 months after the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

b) Tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation, investment subsidies and impairment losses, where applicable. The acquisition cost includes: (1) the purchase price of the asset; (2) the expenses directly attributable to the purchase; and (3) the estimated costs of dismantling, removing the assets and requalifying the site.

The depreciation of tangible assets, less their salvage value, is recognised from the month in which they are available for use according to the constant share method, over the useful life of the assets, which is determined according to expected utility. The depreciation period of tangible assets is reviewed annually and adjusted where necessary to reflect the estimated useful lives. The depreciation rates used correspond, on average, to the following estimated useful lives:

Years
Buildings and other constructions 3 - 50
Transportation Equipment 4 - 8
Tools and utensils 4 - 8
Administrative equipment 3 - 10
Other tangible assets 4 - 8

Estimated losses arising from the replacement of equipment before the end of its useful life, due to technological obsolescence, as well as impairment losses, are recognised as a deduction from the value of the respective asset against the profit or loss for the period. Maintenance and repair charges of a current nature are recorded as a cost when incurred. Significant costs incurred with renovations or significant improvements in tangible assets are capitalized and amortized in the corresponding estimated payback period of those investments, when they can be measured in a reliable manner.

Gains and losses on disposals of tangible assets, determined by the difference between the sale value and their book value, are recorded in profit or loss under the heading "Losses (gains) on the disposal of net fixed assets".

27


c) Intangible assets

Where any, intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, where applicable. Intangible assets are only recognised when they are likely to generate future economic benefits for the Group and can be measured reliably.

d) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

Group companies carry out impairment tests on their assets whenever there is an event or change that indicates that the amount for which the asset is recorded may not be recovered. In the event of the existence of such indications, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the asset in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss.

The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is determined by the higher of the fair value minus the costs to sell and the value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is the amount that would be obtained from the disposal of the asset in a transaction between independent and knowing entities, less the costs directly attributable to the disposal. Value-in-use is derived from future cash flows, restated on the basis of discount rates, that reflect the current value of capital and the specific risk of the asset.

Whenever the amount for which the asset is recorded is greater than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year to which it refers.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying value of the asset is updated to its estimated value. However, the reversal of the impairment loss can only be carried out up to the limit of the amount (net of depreciation) that would have been recognised if the impairment loss had not been recorded in previous years. The reversal of impairment losses is immediately recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement.

e) Provisions, liabilities and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised by the Group when there is a present obligation resulting from past events, and it is likely that in the settlement of that obligation an expenditure of internal resources will be required and the amount of such obligation can be reasonably estimated. When any of these conditions are not met, the Group will disclose the events as a contingent liability, unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote.

Provisions for restructuring are only recognised when the Group has a detailed and formalised plan for restructuring and after these facts have been communicated to the entities involved.

Provisions are updated in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, considering the best estimate obtained by the management bodies.

Obligations for the costs of dismantling, removal of assets and restoration of the site are recognised from the month in which the goods start to be used, if it is possible to estimate the respective

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025
28


obligation with reliability (Note 3.b.). The amount of the recognised bond corresponds to its present value, and the financial update is recorded in profit or loss as a financial cost under the heading "Interest earned, net".

f) Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes a party to the respective contractual relationship.

(i) Financial assets at amortised cost

A financial asset is classified in the category of "Financial assets at amortised cost" if it cumulatively meets the following conditions:

the financial asset is held in a business model whose main objective is the holding of assets to collect its contractual cash flows; e,

Your contractual cash flows occur on specific dates and correspond only to principal and interest payments of the amount owed.

The category of "Financial assets at amortized cost" includes accounts receivable, loans granted, and other accounts receivable that have fixed or defined payments.

Financial assets at amortised cost are initially recognised at their fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. In addition, they are subject, since their initial recognition, to the calculation of impairment losses for expected losses, which are recorded against the item "Other financial costs (gains), net".

The gains or losses generated at the time of their derecognition are recorded under the heading "Other financial costs (gains), net".

(ii) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset shall be classified in the category of "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income" if it cumulatively meets the following conditions:

the financial asset is held in a business model where the objective is to collect its contractual cash flows and sell that financial asset; e,

its contractual cash flows occur on specific dates and correspond only to principal and interest payments of the amount owed (SPPI).

In addition, on initial recognition of a capital instrument that is not held for trading, and where there is no contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, the Group may irrevocably elect to classify it in the category of "Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income".

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025
29


Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognised at their fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recorded against other comprehensive income. Dividends are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive them is attributed.

The investment held in Oi's shares (0.18% as of December 31, 2024 and during 2025 until its complete liquidation) is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, with gains and losses arising from fair value variations being recognized directly in other comprehensive income, as per IFRS9 option.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in the category of "Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" if the business model defined for its management or the characteristics of its contractual cash flows do not meet the conditions described above to be measured at amortised cost, nor at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

In addition, PHAROL may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the criteria to be measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, at fair value through profit or loss at the time of its initial recognition, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an inconsistency in measurement or recognition that would otherwise result from the measurement of assets or liabilities or the recognition of gains and losses on them on different bases.

PHAROL classified "Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" in "Other Non-Current Assets" (Rio Forte) and in "Financial Assets" (investment portfolios), both in Non-Current Assets.

Considering that the transactions carried out by the Company in the normal course of its activity are carried out under market conditions, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at their fair value, with the costs or income associated with the transactions recognised in profit or loss at the initial time. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss.

The periodification of interest and premium/discount (where applicable) is recognised under the heading "Interest earned, net", based on the effective interest rate of each transaction. Dividends are recognized in profit or loss when the right to receive them is attributed.

Investments in debt securities issued by Rio Forte are measured by the best estimate of their fair value at each reporting date, and fair value changes are recognized in the income statement under the heading "Losses (gains) on other non-current assets".

The investment portfolios in shares and bonds acquired in August 2022 and August 2023 are recorded at market value, and the fair value changes are to be recognised in the income statement under the heading "Losses (gains) on other non-current assets".

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025
30


(iv) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

The financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the contractual substance of the transaction and the definition of the financial liability and equity instrument. Equity instruments are contracts that show a residual interest in the Group's assets after deduction of liabilities.

Equity instruments issued by Group companies are recorded at the amount received, net of issuance costs.

(v) Accounts payable (Note 14)

Accounts payable are recorded at their nominal value, which is substantially equivalent to their fair value.

(vi) Own shares (Note 17)

Own shares are accounted for at their acquisition value as a reduction in equity under the heading "Own shares", and the gains or losses inherent to their disposal are recorded under "Retained earnings".

(vii) Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (Note 18)

The amounts included under the heading "Cash and cash equivalents" correspond to the amounts of cash, bank deposits, time deposits and others, due in or less than three months and which can be immediately mobilised and with a negligible risk of a change in value. For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the item "Cash and cash equivalents" also includes the bank overdrafts included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under the item "Short-term debt", where applicable.

g) Leases (the company as tenant)

Recognition

The Company recognizes a right to use a lease asset and a lease liability on the lease commencement date. The right to use the asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made on or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, as well as an estimate of the costs of decommissioning and removal of the underlying asset (if applicable), deducted from any incentive granted.

Lease liability is initially recognized at the present value of rents not yet paid at the date of the lease, discounting interest at an interest rate implied in the lease, or in the event that it is not possible to determine this rate easily, using the Company's incremental interest rate. In general, the Company uses its incremental interest rate as the discount rate to be applied.

Lease payments included in the measurement of lease liability include the following:

  • fixed payments, less any incentives already received;

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


variable lease payments, dependent on a certain rate or index;
amounts that are due under a residual value guarantee;
- the exercise price of the call option, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option; e
- payment of termination penalties if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will cancel the contract.

Lease liability is remeasured when there are changes in future payments arising from a change in rate or index, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount to be paid under a salvage value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of the purchase exercise option, its extension or termination.

When the lease liability is remeasured, the value of the right of use is also adjusted, or a profit or loss is recorded in the income statement, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset was already reduced to zero.

The Group presents the rights to use assets and the responsibilities for leases in items duly segregated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Short-term finance leases or low-value asset leases

The Company does not recognize as asset use rights or lease liability, lease agreements of less than 12 months or leases of low value. The Company recognizes the expenses associated with these leases as a cost of exercise during the life of the contracts.

Amortization

The right-to-use asset is depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method, based on the lower of the asset's useful life of the right-of-use or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful life of the right-of-use assets is determined on the same basis as for the remaining tangible assets.

Impairments

The right to use the asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, and adjusted for certain variations in the lease obligation associated with the asset.

Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Useful lives, residual asset values and discount rates

The calculation of the residual values of the assets, estimation of useful lives and discount rates are based on the premises of the lease contracts (or similar assets) and are defined based on the judgment of the Management, as well as the best practices in use by the sector.

h) Income tax

The income tax for the period is recognized in accordance with the provisions of IAS 12 Income Taxes ("IAS 12"), and is composed of current tax and deferred tax.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


In the measurement of the cost related to income tax for the period, in addition to current tax, the effect of deferred tax is also considered, calculated based on the difference between the book value of assets and liabilities at a given time and the corresponding value for tax purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognised only when there is reasonable assurance that they may be used to reduce future taxable income, or where there are deferred tax liabilities that are expected to reverse in the same period in which the deferred tax assets are reversed. On the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, a review of these deferred tax assets is carried out, and they are reduced whenever their future use is no longer probable.

The amount of tax to be included in both current and deferred tax, which results from transactions or events recognised directly in equity, is recorded directly under these same headings. Thus, the impact of changes in the tax rate is also recognized in net income, except when it refers to items recognized directly in equity, in which case this impact is also recognized directly in equity.

i) Foreign currency balances and transactions

Foreign currency transactions are converted to Euros at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. On the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the exchange rate adjustment of assets and liabilities is carried out, applying the closing rate. The resulting exchange rate differences are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement for the period in which they were determined. Exchange rate variations generated in non-monetary items, including goodwill, and in monetary items that constitute an extension of the investment and whose repayment is not foreseeable in the near future, are recognized directly in equity under the heading "Exchange translation adjustments" and are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The conversion into Euros of financial statements of investee companies denominated in foreign currency is carried out considering the following exchange rates:

  • Exchange rate in force on the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, for the translation of assets and liabilities;
  • Average exchange rate for the period, for the conversion of the items of the Consolidated Income Statement;
  • Average exchange rate for the period, for the conversion of cash flows (in cases where this exchange rate is close to the real rate, and for the remaining cash flows the exchange rate of the date of the operations is used); e
  • Historical exchange rate, for the translation of equity items.

The exchange rate differences arising from the conversion are included in the shareholders' equity, under the heading "Exchange translation adjustments", and are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. According to IAS 21, when there is a reduction in PHAROL

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025
33


SGPS's investment in a foreign entity, through the sale or redemption of capital, the accumulated effect of the exchange rate translation adjustments is transferred to the Consolidated Income Statement, in proportion to the reduction in the investment.

PHAROL SGPS has chosen to use the exception provided for in IFRS 1, transferring the amount related to exchange rate variations accumulated up to the date of the carryover, recorded in the item "Exchange translation adjustments" on 1 January 2004, to the item "Retained earnings". As of 1 January 2004, the Group began to record directly in equity the exchange rate variations allowed by IFRS, and the exchange rate variations generated after the transition date will be recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement only on the date of sale of the respective financial investments or when the investment made is repaid.

j) Financial Loan Charges

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that qualifies as part of the cost of that asset are capitalised. The other borrowing costs obtained are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred in accordance with the accrual accrual principle and in accordance with the effective interest rate method.

k) Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is prepared in accordance with IAS 7, using the direct method. The Group classifies under the heading "Cash and cash equivalents" investments that are due less than three months and for which the risk of a change in value is negligible. For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the item of cash and cash equivalents also includes the bank overdrafts included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under the item "Short-term debt".

Cash flows are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, depending on their nature, into (1) operating activities; (2) investment activities; and (3) financing activities. Operating activities essentially comprise customer receipts, and payments to suppliers, staff, retirement benefits, income tax and net indirect taxes. Cash flows covered by investing activities include, inter alia, acquisitions and disposals of financial investments, dividends received from associated companies, and receipts and payments arising from the purchase and sale of fixed assets. Cash flows related to financing activities include, inter alia, payments and receipts related to loans obtained, payments related to interest and related expenses, the acquisition of own shares and the payment of dividends.

1) Subsequent events (Note 22)

Events occurring after the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the date of said statement are considered in the preparation of the financial statements for the period. Events occurring after the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position that provide information on conditions occurring after the date of said statement are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, if material.

Judgments and estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, the Board of Directors of PHAROL SGPS uses estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the amounts reported. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on experience of past events and other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are considered likely in the circumstances in which the estimates are based or the result of information or experience gained. The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

(a) Valuation of the investment in Oi – On May 5, 2014, the Company valued the new stake in Oi, acquired following the business combination carried out at that time with Oi, based on the price of Oi's shares in the capital increase carried out on this date, having, as of this date, appropriated its share in Oi's results through the application of the equity method. In addition, as of September 8, 2014, the portion of the investment in Oi to be delivered under the Exchange Agreement was classified as non-current assets held for sale and measured at fair value from that date, until the execution of the exchange on March 30, 2015. Until December 2017, this investment was valued by the equity method. From that date and in particular on 31 December 2024, the valuation of the investment held in Oi was based on its market value, in particular the stock market price, given that PHAROL lost its significant influence. In December 2025, PHAROL no longer held any stake in Oi.

(b) Valuation of the Rio Forte instrument – On March 30, 2015, the Rio Forte instruments were obtained following the execution of the swap related to Oi shares. On that date, after consulting with the market, the Company valued the instrument at 15% of its notional value. This appreciation was revised on September 30, 2016, with a reduction in the notional value to 9.56% and on December 31, 2017 and 2019, to 8.32% and 7.02% respectively. On December 31, 2020, there was a new downward revision of the recovery of the nominal value to 5.79%, which is equivalent to a reduction of 11.1 million Euros to the amount of 51.9 million Euros. As at 31 December 2025, this value remained the same (Note 13).

(c) Valuation and useful life of intangible and tangible assets – PHAROL SGPS uses estimates to determine the useful life of its tangible assets (Note 3).

(d) Recognition of provisions and adjustments – PHAROL SGPS is a party to several ongoing legal proceedings for which, based on the opinion of its lawyers, it has made a judgment to determine the recognition of any provision to address these contingencies. Adjustments for accounts receivable are calculated primarily on the basis of the age of the accounts receivable, the risk profile of the customers and their financial condition.

The estimates have been determined on the basis of the best information available at the time of preparation of the consolidated financial statements. However, situations may occur in subsequent periods that, although not foreseeable at the time, were not considered in these estimates. As provided for in IAS 8, changes to these estimates, which occur after the date of the consolidated financial statements, are corrected in profit or loss on a forward-looking basis.

9. Income taxes and fees

In 2025, companies located in mainland Portugal are taxed under Corporate Income Tax at the base rate of $21.0\%$ plus (1) a Municipal Surcharge of up to a maximum of $1.5\%$ on the taxable income, and (2) a State Surcharge of $3.0\%$ applicable on taxable income between 1.5 million Euros and 7.5 million Euros, $5.0\%$ applicable on taxable profit between 7.5 million Euros and 35 million Euros, and $9.0\%$ applicable on taxable profit exceeding 35 million Euros, resulting in a maximum aggregate rate of approximately $31.5\%$ for taxable profits exceeding 35 million Euros. In the calculation of taxable income, to which the aforementioned tax rate is applied, expenses and income not accepted for tax purposes are added to or deducted from the accounting results.

Having calculated tax profits in the 2025 and 2024 financial years, the current tax above reflects the tax on taxable profit already deducted from tax losses carried forward in previous years and added to autonomous taxation for the year.

In 2025, the result was 2.10 million euros, due to the reimbursements of the AT and the financial results.

In 2024, the result was 24 million euros, mainly due to the reimbursements of the AT and the agreement with Oi. However, only a portion of these gains are taxable, which reduces the tax estimate. In addition, PHAROL used accumulated tax losses from previous years to deduct the tax due.

On 31 December 2025 and 2024, this item was calculated as follows:

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


Investment Portfolios

PHAROL subscribed to two investment portfolios in financial assets in August 2022 and two more in August 2023, composed mainly of asset groups of Bonds and Shares of listed companies. The portfolios are managed by banking entities that have the discretionary power to buy and sell the assets that comprise it, with which a contract has been signed that presupposes the maintenance of these portfolios for a period of more than one year, while guaranteeing, however, high liquidity. These financial assets are part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of profit-taking in the short and medium term. At the time of initial recognition, they are recorded at acquisition cost and subsequently at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. For these assets, as of 31 December 2025, the change in the fair value of the portfolio is as follows:

Fair Portfolio Value Change

Investment in Oi

Since December 31, 2017, PHAROL's investment in Oi has been measured at fair value, no longer being classified as an associate and evaluated by the equity method. From that date, the investment was reclassified as a "Financial Asset" and accounted for at market value.

In 2024 and 2023, PHAROL liquidated part of the position in Oi, leaving it with a final position of $0.02\%$ (12 thousand Euros) and $0.18\%$ (130 thousand Euros) respectively. In 2025, PHAROL liquidated its stake in Oi in its entirety.

In May 2023, in the context of the proceeding opened in 2016 by the CVM in Brazil in which PHAROL is a defendant, a decision was issued to condemn PHAROL to the penalty of a pecuniary fine, in the amount of 400 thousand reais (approximately 76 thousand Euros) in relation to the accusation of non-compliance with its duty of loyalty as a controlling shareholder of Oi, in view of the alleged informational failures in its financial statements involving Rio Forte's securities.

Subsequently, not complying with the decision, PHAROL appealed to the National Financial System Appeals Council, having, however, made a provision of 76 thousand euros for a potential loss.

Also related to the investment in Oi, and following the business combination agreement signed in May 2014 between PHAROL and Oi S.A., all liabilities inherent to potential tax assessments of the consolidated tax of the PT Group became the responsibility of Oi, and PHAROL was jointly and severally liable (Note 16).

13. Other non-current assets

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, this item includes an estimated future recovery of approximately €51.9 million related to the debt instruments issued by Rio Forte.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


Rio Forte

With regard to the debt instruments issued by Rio Forte, after becoming aware of the Report of the Judicial Administrators in the insolvency proceedings of Rio Forte (Rapport n°4 des Curateurs), dated August 31, 2016, available in www.espiritosantoinsolvencies.lu, PHAROL initiated steps to ascertain the financial, accounting and legal implications of what is contained in point 2.1.6 thereof, which is transcribed in free translation:

"Predictable recovery

The information currently available to Judicial Administrators does not allow an estimate to be made of either the total recovery or the recovery to be carried out by the company in bankruptcy proceedings.

It cannot be ruled out that judicial attachment and the possible rights of third parties involved may prevent the bankruptcy estate from recovering and distributing certain assets for a long time, or even definitively. In fact, it is not excluded that the judicial authorities aim to confiscate the assets now seized."

PHAROL's Management, after due diligence and supported by the analysis of its advisors, concluded, on that date, based on a principle of prudence, that the expected values of recovery of the assets by the insolvent estate and, consequently, by PHAROL from Rio Forte had been reduced. PHAROL's investment in Rio Forte's securities was initially valued at fair value at the time of its initial recognition on March 30, 2015, and was subsequently measured at amortized cost less any impairment losses. Based on the basic principles set out in IAS 39 (currently IFRS 9) and the available information, the Board of Directors used its judgment in defining assumptions that culminated in an appreciation of the credit on Rio Forte by 85.7 million Euros on December 31, 2016, i.e., about 9.5% of the nominal value, against approximately 15% of the nominal value on December 31, 2015, which determined the accounting of an impairment in the amount of €48.8M.

Additionally, in December 2017, after the update of the amount of credit claims considered in the last report of the Judicial Administrators revealed to be a higher value than previously considered, the debt recovery valuation was revised downwards again, having been recorded at 8.32% recovery, which is equivalent to a reduction of 11.1 million Euros to the amount of 74.6 million Euros. On December 31, 2018, the debt recovery value remained at 8.32%.

In April 2019 and 5 years after the filing of the credit complaint against Rio Forte, a new report by the Judicial Administrators was released on April 30, which essentially pointed to: 1) postponement of the results of the conclusion of the administrative analysis of the debt statements; and 2) downward revision of the value of Rio Forte's assets in Latin America. Thus, and based on these new factors, the debt recovery valuation was, once again, revised downwards, having fallen by 7.19% of recovery of the nominal value, which is equivalent to a reduction of 10.1 million Euros to the amount of 64.5 million Euros. Also in the 2019 financial year and after the analysis of the last report issued by the Judicial Administrators, with effect from 31 December 2019, that value was, once again, revised downwards, and the recovery of the nominal value was set at 7.02%, which is equivalent to

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


an additional reduction of 1.5 million Euros for a total recovery amount of 63 million Euros. On December 31, 2020, a new downward revision of the recovery of the nominal value to 5.79% was carried out, essentially justified by the depreciation of the assets held by Rio Forte in Latin America, which is equivalent to a reduction of 11.1 million Euros to the amount of 51.9 million Euros.

On 16 November 2023, Rio Forte's trustees decided that Rio Forte Investments' insolvency claim filed by PHAROL would be submitted, as a measure of prudence, to the Luxembourg Commercial Court for a decision on its admission to the insolvency liability, because, to use the words of the trustees, PHAROL's claim does not appear to fully comply with all legal requirements.

In February 2024, and in order to prevent the Court from recognising the validity of HALOROL's claim against Rio Forte, the latter's trustees requested, in the alternative, that a repayment in April 2014 of € 199,631,000.00 of commercial paper subscribed directly by PHAROL in February 2014 be considered null and void because it had been carried out during the suspicious period. For procedural reasons and also because they once again do not present any substantial evidence, our Lawyers are of the opinion that this assignment is unfounded.

On December 8, 2024, and after hearings held in October 2024, PHAROL was notified of the decision of the Luxembourg Commercial Court that recognized the claim of €147,000,000 on the insolvent estate of Rio Forte, S.A., plus interest until the date of the insolvency proceedings. The decision on the remaining €750,000,000 has been suspended pending the resolution of a case related to the cancellation of a payment alleged by Espirito Santo Internacional, S.A. PHAROL reaffirms that it is not a debtor of ESI, maintaining the grounds for the remaining claim.

On December 31, 2025, considering the maintenance of the main valuation factors of Rio Forte's Assets and there being no evolution in the amount of debts claimed, the expected value of recovery of Rio Forte's nominal debt remained unchanged at 5.79%, equivalent to 51.9 million Euros.

On 13 February 2026, PHAROL was notified of a decision of the Luxembourg Commercial Court which, in the context of Rio Forte's insolvency proceedings, recognised PHAROL's claim on Rio Forte's insolvency estate in the amount of capital of 750 million Euros, to be increased by the interest due until the date of opening of the insolvency proceedings.

Thus, the total value of PHAROL's credit on Rio Forte's insolvent estate remains at 897 million euros and respective legal interest, as always claimed since 2014.

The proceedings brought by an Ad Hoc Curator of ESI seeking the annulment of an allegedly undue payment of an accumulated amount of 750 million euros of Notes made by ESI at the beginning of 2014 to Pharol SGPS, S.A (200 million euros) and PT Finance (550 million euros) were judged in the same case. This process was communicated to the market on February 1, 2019. Also in this case it was decided that PHAROL does not have to return any amounts to ESI.

The above-mentioned judicial decisions, although subject to appeal within 40 days from the Notification of the Trustees of Rio Forte and the Ad Hoc Curator, fully upheld the positions held by PHAROL from the outset.

Additionally, in order to compensate for the losses resulting from the insufficiency of assets in Rio Forte's bankruptcy estate to fully satisfy PHAROL's credit, according to the decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting in 2015, several actions were taken that we detail below.

Actions against Former Directors

An action for liability was filed against former directors, and it was requested that the Defendants be jointly and severally ordered to pay compensation corresponding to the difference between €897 million, the amount of the investment in Rio Forte's commercial paper instruments decided by them, and that which may be received in the context of the insolvency proceedings and other damages that may be ascertained. The Defendants presented their defences and requested the main intervention brought by several third parties, including the Insurance Company. The Defendants invoked the existence of a preliminary ruling and requested the stay of the proceedings. The Court, on 18.01.2018, ordered the suspension of the proceedings until the action for annulment of corporate resolutions before the Lisbon Commercial Court is decided. This action, however, was definitively dismissed, so PHAROL, on 27.06.2019, requested the court to declare the cessation of the stay of the proceedings. This order has not yet been decided, so the action remains suspended.

In mid-2020, the Court ordered the inclusion of a certificate of the judgment rendered in the preliminary ruling action to the case file, which happened, but did not issue any new order. There was no evolution in 2021 or 2022. As a result, procedural acceleration was requested under the terms of the Law, as soon as the Courts opened on September 1, 2023.

In February 2024, the Plaintiff insisted on the termination of the suspension, which happened. In May, the court ordered the attachment of translations by the Defendants (in the meantime joined) and heard the requests for intervention of third parties, in the following terms:

  1. It did not admit Deloitte's intervention;
  2. It did not admit the intervention of the members of the Audit Committee;
  3. It admitted the intervention of the insurance companies;
  4. It invited one of the defendants to clarify the facts that support the request for intervention of some of the plaintiff's directors, the directors of Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V. and PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A.. This clarification was provided at the end of May, but the court has not yet decided.

The Defendants appealed against the decision of non-intervention of the members of the Audit Committee. These appeals were not admitted, so the pleadings phase is closed.

By order of 18.12.2025, the court dismissed the intervention caused by the other directors of PHAROL (PT SGPS), Portugal Telecom International Finance B.V. and PT Portugal, SGPS, S.A.. In the same order, following information provided by one of the defendants, it admitted the intervention, principally, of the insurers indicated by him. The summons from the insurers is awaited.

Since PHAROL is the plaintiff in the case file and no counterclaim has been filed, there is no contingency for the company with the case file.

In 2016, a new liability action was filed against the former directors, with the aim of requesting the implementation of financial reporting and internal control systems that made it possible to make increasing amounts of investments in debt instruments issued by companies of the Espirito Santo Group by these directors, decided, in violation of the rules of corporate governance and with the ignorance of investors and shareholders, generating high losses. In this Action, it is requested that the defendants be jointly and severally ordered to pay PHAROL compensation corresponding to €54,900,000.00, plus other damages that may be ascertained, namely in the last investments that were made with the procedures implemented by the defendants and also for reputational damages and fines and fines resulting from the lack of completeness of the financial reporting documents.

The Defendants presented their defences and requested the main intervention brought by several third parties, including the Insurance Company. The Court issued an order to stay the proceedings for a preliminary ruling – Case No. 23430/15.9T8LSB, which was heard by the Commercial Court of Lisbon – Judge 3, in which the Defendants seek the annulment of HALO's corporate resolution that determined the filing of the present action. That action, however, was definitively dismissed, with the result that the court declared the stay of proceedings to be terminated.

The Court ruled on the intervention in the action as defendants of the other members of the Audit Committee of PHAROL, which the Defendants had requested, having rejected this claim. Two of the Defendants appealed against this rejection, and PHAROL counter-claimed.

However, the court ordered PHAROL to respond in writing to the objection raised by the Defendants in the defences, which was done on 11.09.2019.

The appeal was upheld, so the other members of the Audit Committee were summoned, who filed a joint response on 2 November 2020. In the responses, the defendants requested the intervention of the insurance companies to which they transferred the civil liability arising from the acts performed in the exercise of their functions, as the initial Defendants had done.

On December 31, 2023, as timely reported, a decision on the intervention of the insurers was awaited.

In 2024, the Court heard requests for intervention from third parties, allowing the intervention of insurers as a main measure. The addition of translations for the citation of foreign insurance companies was ordered, and such a combination has already happened.

The summons of the insurers is awaited, and PHAROL insisted in December 2024 on this summons, and their response.

By joining this action, the seizure of the Defendants' assets was requested, which was ordered, focusing on several relevant assets of the former directors. Under the terms of this seizure order, a preliminary assessment of the cause of action of the action against the former directors was also carried out, which perfunctorily proves their liability. After the Defendants were summoned, oppositions to the seizure were filed and their trial was held.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025

All oppositions were upheld. Pharol appealed against that decision in respect of natural persons, complying with the lifting of the seizures relating to legal persons. The appeal was upheld, so that the seizure of the assets of the former directors is maintained. Since PHAROL is the plaintiff in the case file and no counterclaim has been filed, there is no contingency for the company with the case file.

Lawsuits Against Former Auditor

In the same year of 2016, PHAROL also filed a civil liability action against Deloitte Associados and one of its partners for breach of legal and contractual duties in the review of the Plaintiff's accountability documents, including the Corporate Governance Report, in the review of the internal control system, namely its operability under the terms required by Section 404 of the SARBANEX-OXLEY ACTA (SOC) and in the preparation and presentation of the respective memoranda and internal control memoranda.

According to the cause of action, the breach of these duties was an adequate cause for the non-disclosure in the financial statements between 2010 and 2014 of high investments in unrated commercial paper of the Espírito Santo Group over those 4 years and which violated several internal rules, namely corporate governance.

In this action, it is requested that the Defendants be jointly and severally ordered to pay PHAROL compensation corresponding to the difference between €897 million and that which it may receive in the context of Rio Forte's insolvency proceedings and other damages that may be determined in execution of the judgment, resulting either from reputational damage or compensation, fines and fines in which the plaintiff may be convicted in proceedings of lack of legally required quality of PHAROL's financial reporting documents in the periods from 2010 to 30 June 2014.

The Defendants filed a response, and the intervention of the Insurance Company was requested, which was admitted.

PHAROL filed a supervening pleading on 13.09.2022, based on the conviction of Deloitte in an administrative offence proceeding initiated by the Portuguese Securities Market Commission, whose admission has not yet taken place.

Deloitte refused to present the working documents, alleging professional secrecy. The court found him right. PHAROL appealed against that decision. The Court of Appeal did not admit the appeal against the decision regarding the secrecy of the working documents, understanding that, instead of an appeal, it was appropriate to lift the secrecy. PHAROL initiated the incident of lifting of secrecy, which is pending before the Court of Appeal. In 2026, a ruling was issued by the Lisbon Court of Appeal that deemed Deloitte's refusal to submit documents illegitimate, citing professional secrecy, and set a ten-day deadline for submitting the documents, which will have been met.

Since there is no counterclaim, there are no contingencies for PHAROL arising from the present case.

BES and Banco de Portugal cases

In 2017, PHAROL also became an assistant in the Universo BES Case, a status that was recognized by the Court. Subsequently, when charges were brought, PHAROL filed a civil claim for compensation for all the losses caused by the fraud practiced by some of the defendants therein, for subscription by PHAROL in February 2014 of Commercial Paper issued by Rio Forte in the amount of 897 million euros. As is public, several of the defendants requested the opening of an investigation. The trial has already begun, and the Court understood that civil claims should be brought in civil proceedings so as not to delay the progress of the criminal proceedings, given the existence of hundreds of civil claims.

In 2016, PHAROL filed an administrative action against the Bank of Portugal, based on the challenge of the "Contingencies" and "Perimeter" Resolutions taken by the Bank of Portugal on 29.12.2015, which determine that the contingent or unknown liabilities by BES, vis-à-vis third parties, with reference to 03.08.2014, were not transferred to Novo Banco or, having been, were retransferred back to BES with retroactive effect to that date. Without any significant progress in recent years, recently, this case was included in a special procedure for the acceleration of processes. According to this mechanism, 5 pilot processes (similar to each other) were designated and the suspension of the other similar processes was determined until the delivery of a final decision in the pilot processes. Once issued, the decision in the pilot cases will serve as the basis for the others. The exclusion of PHAROL's file has been requested and an order on this request is awaited. If the application is granted, PHAROL's process will continue its normal course without any suspension until the final decision is issued.

Also in 2016, a claim was filed in the insolvency proceedings of BES in the amount of € 897 million, corresponding to the amount invested by PT SGPS in Rio Forte's commercial paper, based on BES's liability as a financial intermediary. Pharol's claim was recognized as subordinate by the Liquidation Commission, an objection was filed, which received a new unfavorable response from that Commission and consequent rebuttal by PHAROL. A decision on the challenge presented is awaited.

ESI Process

Finally, still related to the Rio Forte case, in December 2017, PHAROL became aware of a statement from the Trustees of Espirito Santo International, S.A., ("ESI"), in which they stated that this bankrupt company would evaluate the possibility of suing PHAROL, requesting that it be ordered to reimburse 750 million Euros, without specifying the grounds for that request. On January 28, 2019, as a protective measure to interrupt any limitation period, PHAROL was also summoned for proceedings in the Court of Luxembourg by the Ad-hoc Curator of ESI – Espirito Santo International, with the claim that it had received undue payments from ESI in the amount of seven hundred and fifty million euros, claiming, in summary, that (a) the payment should have been made in cash or by means of "effets de commerce" and not by bank transfers, (b) the payment was abnormal because ESI did not have the necessary funds, (c) PHAROL was aware of ESI's state of insolvency and (d) the payment was part of a fraudulent scheme.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


The trial hearing was held in November 2025, which was accompanied by the advice of PHAROL's Luxembourg Lawyers.

Up to the date of the trial hearing, no facts or evidence have been presented to support the irregularity of the payment made by ESI to Pharol. This action, in order to avoid contradiction of judgments, was now judged together with the recognition of the remainder of Pharol's 750 million claim on Rio Forte in the context of the latter's insolvency proceedings. This action was the subject of a joint trial hearing with the action filed by the Ad Hoc Curator.

As indicated earlier, on February 13, 2026, it was decided by the Luxembourg Commercial Court that in this case PHAROL does not have to return any amounts to ESI.

The decision, although subject to appeal within 40 days from the Notification of the Ad Hoc Curator, fully upheld the positions held by PHAROL from the outset.

16. Financial Guarantees and Commitments and Accounts Receivable

PHAROL, after having been the dominant company of the consolidated tax of the PT Group, currently has a series of tax assessments from the years prior to 2014 still in litigation. In May 2014, and in view of the business combination agreement entered into between PHAROL and Oi S.A., all the responsibilities inherent to these tax assessments passed to Oi, and PHAROL was jointly and severally liable.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


Thus, PHAROL currently has active counter-guarantees to face the risks of unfavourable court decisions, namely, Bank Guarantees and Guarantees provided by Oi.

In December 2024, PHAROL and Oi signed an agreement to redefine and clarify the outstanding tax liabilities since the merger of PT Portugal with Oi in 2014, adjusting the treatment of refunds received from the Tax Authority. PHAROL, initially responsible for tax proceedings, recorded the reimbursements in liabilities as balances to be clarified, totalling €26.2M. With the revision of the contractual framework, it was agreed that PHAROL will receive all the amounts of payments made before May 2014, discounting €22M of costs incurred on behalf of Oi.

Additionally, on December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of Bank Guarantees has the following composition:

euros
2025 2024
Bank guarantees and other guarantees provided in favour of tax authorities and other public bodies 83,861,425 84,617,476
83,861,425 84,617,476

The bank guarantees and other guarantees submitted in favour of the tax authorities included EUR 83,8 million and EUR 84,6 million as of 31 December 2025 and 2024, related to tax assessments received by PHAROL. The Company challenged these assessments in court and, in accordance with Portuguese law, provided a guarantee after the initiation of enforcement proceedings, since, in the absence of a guarantee or payment of the contested tax, the proceedings would continue until the seizure of assets sufficient to satisfy the tax assessed. Portuguese law, while always allowing the challenge of taxes paid by the tax authorities of its own motion, only suspends the enforcement process if there is payment of the tax or provision of a guarantee. The provision of security thus avoids the payment of tax before the decision on the challenge or the seizure of assets in enforcement proceedings.

Part of the guarantees previously provided was cancelled due to the slowness and expiry of the processes. During 2025, another guarantee worth 756 thousand Euros was canceled.

Notwithstanding the expiry and consequent cancellation of part of the Guarantees, most of the tax proceedings remain ongoing, and Oi remains responsible for them, and the total amount may amount to up to 153.2 million euros. However, any unfavourable decisions will be absorbed by the amounts of tax losses assessed in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 and which were not used until 2018, in an amount estimated at up to 11.8 million euros, thus having the potential to reduce the processes to 141.4 million euros. Also within the scope of the agreements signed, Oi is also obliged to replace the bank guarantees provided by PHAROL to the Tax Authority with guarantees provided by Oi. In cases where this replacement was not possible, Oi undertook to provide equivalent guarantees in favor of PHAROL. In 2025, Oi S.A. faced new stages of Judicial Reorganization and even the threat of declaring bankruptcy, and is operating under judicial administration, with a view to preserving assets and continuing essential services during the liquidation process.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


As such, on December 31, 2025, a pledge agreement is in force on 64,401,909 common shares issued by Oi (in the amount of 170 thousand Euros on December 31, 2025), and a deposit in a guarantee account in the amount of 7,861,752.30 Euros, intended to guarantee PHAROL in the event of a possible conviction in tax contingencies under Oi's responsibility. In the event that this amount is fully used in tax contingencies, Oi S.A. undertakes to reinforce the counter-guarantees in force.

Thus, the value of potential tax contingencies for PHAROL is currently up to 153 million euros (147 million euros in 2024). Of these, the cases with a possible or probable risk of loss for PHAROL amount to a net amount of around 12.7 million euros, from which the amount of 9.7 million euros of corrections favorable to the company must be deducted, according to the estimate of the tax advisors.

The item Accounts Receivable refers, mostly, to the amount of 613 thousand euros, corresponding to the fees associated with bank guarantees relating to the 12 months of 2025 which, under the terms of the agreements in force with Oi, are the responsibility of Oi.

17. Equity

17.1. Share capital

PHAROL's share capital, fully subscribed and paid up, amounts to 26,895,375 Euros on December 31, 2025 and 2024, represented by 896,512,500 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of three euro cents each.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, PHAROL holds 74,689,552 own shares corresponding to 8.33% of its share capital.

17.3. Legal Reserve

PHAROL's commercial legislation and statutes establish that at least 5% of the annual net profit must be allocated to reinforce the legal reserve, until it represents 20% of the capital. This reserve is not distributable except in the event of liquidation of the company, but can be used to absorb losses, after all other reserves have been exhausted, or for incorporation into the capital. On December 31, 2025 and 2024, the legal reserve amounted to 6,773,139 Euros and was already fully constituted, corresponding to more than 20% of the share capital.

17.4. Reservation of own shares

The reserve of own shares is related to the recognition of an unavailable reserve of a value equivalent to the nominal value of the cancelled shares or the acquisition cost of the own shares held by PHAROL. The reserve of own shares has a legal regime equivalent to that of the legal reserve. On December 31, 2025 and 2024, this reserve refers to the shares cancelled on December 20, 2007, March 24, 2008 and December 10, 2008, in the amount of 6,970,320 Euros, as well as to the own shares acquired or sold in 2014, 2016, 2019, 2020 and 2021, in the total amount of 164,809,500 Euros.

19. Related parts

During the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the remuneration of directors, which were established by the Remuneration Committee, amounted to 452 thousand Euros and 241 thousand Euros, respectively.

On 31 December 2025 and 2024, no share-based payment programme or any termination compensation programme was in place.

20. Shareholders with Qualifying Holdings

The Company believes that it is relevant to disclose the outstanding balances and transactions carried out with its main shareholders, namely those with a qualified holding above 2% in PHAROL's share capital, and with all entities reported by these shareholders as part of the respective economic groups.

During the years 2025 and 2024, there were no transactions between PHAROL and these entities identified as shareholders with qualified holdings.

In addition, and as communicated to the Market, the Announcements on the Agreement Entered into with Oi in 2024 are reproduced:

Dec 10, 2024 | Agreement signed with Oi

Under the special tax regime applicable to the regimes of groups by companies (RETGS), PT SGPS, currently PHAROL, maintained on 5 May 2014 - the date on which PT PORTUGAL, SGPS, S.A was incorporated into Oi, S.A. - thirteen pending tax proceedings, in which, as the dominant company of the PT PORTUGAL SGPS Group, until then in the Fiscal consolidation regime, he is still today the

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025


first responsible. To date, seven of those tax cases remain open. The responsibilities for these tax processes are regulated in a Contingency Letter signed by Oi.

Following a principle of prudence, PHAROL recorded all the refunds received from the Tax Authority in the context of these processes, in a liability account as amounts received in order to clarify that it amounted to the net amount of €26.2M.

After an exhaustive analysis of the nature of the refunds and the closure of some of the larger tax proceedings (from 2005 to 2008 and 2012), PHAROL SGPS SA and Oi SA reviewed some aspects of the contractual framework in force between them in the chapter on responsibilities in tax proceedings. The agreement signed, which PHAROL considers very positive for both parties, was approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies.

Thus, since almost all payments to the tax authorities were made by PHAROL SGPS S.A. on dates prior to 5 May 2014, the refunds of any amounts previously paid by it were recorded in its favour, already net of an amount of Eur. 22M arising from costs assumed by PHAROL on behalf of Oi referring essentially to (1) costs incurred, to date, in legal advice and guarantee commissions, (2) and advance on account of taxes payable.

In addition, and as a result of the conclusions of the analysis carried out of the active tax proceedings, as well as the outcome of the proceedings already closed, PHAROL and Oi agreed to revise downwards the amount of the currently existing escrow account balance with a decrease of Eur. 15M.

Consequently, the above-mentioned liability, resulting from amounts received from the Tax Authority, was cancelled.

Dec 13, 2024 | Addendum on the Agreement entered into with Oi

Following the notice to the market on December 10th, PHAROL clarified the following:

  • the cancellation of the Liabilities of Eur. 26.2M had a positive impact on results in the tax item for refunds received from the Tax Authority and consequently on the Company's net worth of the same amount;
  • the amount of Eur. 26.2M of refunds from the Authority is already net of the amount of Eur.22M of costs incurred in the past related to tax contingencies, so the amount of Eur. 22M had no impact on the Financial Statements;
  • the reduction in the amount of Eur.15M in the Escrow account referred to a decrease in the escrow account previously deposited by Oi to deal with the value of possible tax contingencies, which to date has been revised downwards. This also had no impact on PHAROL's Financial Statements;
  • it was also clarified that potential future refunds from the Tax Authority of taxes previously paid by PHAROL belong to PHAROL. However, this fact also had no impact on PHAROL's current Financial Statements because there is no forecast of future occurrence.

21. Financial Instruments

21.1. Financial risks

PHAROL is mainly exposed to (i) market risks related to changes in exchange rates, changes in interest rates and changes in prices and quotations and (ii) credit risks. The objective of PHAROL's risk management is to reduce these risks to an acceptable level.

21.1.1. Market Risks

Market risks consist of losses that may occur as a result of changes in rates (interest or exchange rates) and/or in the prices and quotations of different financial instruments, considering not only the correlations between them, but also their volatilities.

Exchange rate risks are essentially related to the operations of the investee companies, to investments in financial instruments in foreign currency that are part of the investment portfolios in stocks and bonds, and to PHAROL's investments in Brazil that ceased to exist in 2025.

Regarding the risks of prices and quotations, which are essentially related to the investment portfolio in shares and bonds, the Group has established criteria and limits to the discretionary management that has been given to the banking entities that manage these portfolios. Having thus established the following limits:

  1. For two portfolios constituted in August 2022, in the amount of 10 million Euros:

  2. Minimum investment rating: Investment Grade entities (equal to or greater than BBB or similar, in the case of Moody's).

  3. Weight per issuer: the exposure to each issuer must not exceed 12.5% of the value of the portfolio;
  4. Geography: Exposure to emerging countries should not exceed 25%. The exposure per country should not exceed 1/3 of the value of the portfolio;
  5. Foreign exchange exposure: Exposure to currencies other than the Euro should not exceed 25%;
  6. Liquidity: up to 5 business days.

  7. For two portfolios constituted in August 2023, in the amount of 15 million Euros:

  8. Minimum investment rating: 70% Investment grade (equal to or greater than BBB or similar, in the case of Moody's) and 30% High yield

  9. Weight per issuer: the exposure to each issuer must not exceed 12.5% of the value of the portfolio;
  10. Geography: Exposure to emerging countries should not exceed 25%. The exposure per country should not exceed 1/3 of the value of the portfolio;
  11. Foreign exchange exposure: Exposure to currencies other than the Euro should not exceed 25%;
  12. Liquidity: up to 5 business days.

Consolidated Annual Report | 2025

21.1.2. Credit Risk

Credit risk is essentially related to the risk of a counterparty failing in its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss for PHAROL. PHAROL is essentially subject to credit risk in its operating and treasury activities.

The criteria used to calculate adjustments to accounts receivable are based on carrying out recoverability analyses of receivables on a regular basis.

As of December 31, 2025, receivables are not considered relevant.

The risks related to treasury activities result essentially from the investments made by the Group in cash equivalents. As previously mentioned, in order to mitigate this risk, PHAROL implemented an investment diversification policy from July 2014 onwards, in such a way that the investment in a financial entity does not exceed 34% of all financial investments. In this way, it is ensured that the amounts are invested in the short term, with diversified financial institutions with a reputation in the market. In 2022 and again in 2025, in order to readjust policies based on active portfolio management, given that bond and share portfolios can be managed by banking entities, these limits were reviewed and more detailed. Thus, the concentration limit of 33.3% for demand deposits and term deposits by a bank is maintained, and the amount invested in an asset management portfolio managed by the same bank will not count towards this limit of 33.3%.

In addition, and in order to establish concentration limits on initial investment also in asset management, a maximum limit of portfolio management per banking entity of 2/3 was established.

PHAROL is also subject to credit risk in its investment in Rio Forte Investments, having adjusted its value accordingly. In November 2023, the trustees of Rio Forte decided that the insolvency claim of Rio Forte Investments filed by PHAROL would be submitted, as a precautionary measure, to the Commercial Court (standardise) of Luxembourg for a decision on its admission to the insolvency liability (Note 13). On February 13, 2026, PHAROL Court recognized PHAROL's claim on Rio Forte's insolvent estate in the capital amount of 750 million Euros, to be increased by the interest due up to the date of opening of the insolvency proceedings. Thus, the total value of PHAROL's credit on Rio Forte's insolvent estate remains at 897 million euros and respective legal interest, as always claimed since 2014.

Also in the context of the credit against Rio Forte, in January 2019, PHAROL was summoned by the curatorship of Espírito Santo International, S.A., as a precautionary measure to interrupt any limitation period, with a view to a possible cancellation of payments of Notes made by ESI during the month of January 2014 in the amount of 750 million Euros.

Also on January 13, 2026, the Court ruled that in this case PHAROL does not have to return any amounts to ESI.

The above-mentioned judicial decisions are subject to appeal within 40 days from the Notification of the Curators of Rio Forte and the Ad Hoc Curator. However, PHAROL considers the probability of being able to obtain, on the basis of the alleged facts, any conviction of PHAROL in the terms

57


subpoenaed to be very remote. Accordingly, PHAROL did not make any provision in its financial statements (see Note 13).

PHAROL is also subject to Oi's credit risk, since within the scope of the contracts entered into, it is incumbent on Oi to pay the liabilities resulting from the tax contingencies originated until May 5, 2014, although PHAROL is also jointly and severally liable.

22. Subsequent events

On February 13, 2026, PHAROL was notified of a decision of the Luxembourg Commercial Court which, in the context of Rio Forte's insolvency proceedings, recognized PHAROL's claim on Rio Forte's insolvent estate in the amount of capital of 750 million Euros, to be increased by the interest due until the date of opening of the insolvency proceedings.

Thus, the total value of PHAROL's credit on Rio Forte's insolvent estate remains at 897 million euros and respective legal interest, as always claimed since 2014.

The proceedings brought by an Ad Hoc Curator of ESI seeking the annulment of an allegedly undue payment of an accumulated amount of 750 million euros of Notes made by ESI at the beginning of 2014 to Pharol SGPS, S.A (200 million euros) and PT Finance (550 million euros) were judged in the same case. This process was communicated to the market on February 1, 2019. Also in this case it was decided that PHAROL does not have to return any amounts to ESI.

The above-mentioned judicial decisions, although subject to appeal within 40 days from the Notification of the Trustees of Rio Forte and the Ad Hoc Curator, fully upheld the positions held by PHAROL from the outset.

The Board of Directors plans to submit to the shareholders' appreciation and deliberation, at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, a set of proposals to amend certain articles of the Company's Bylows of Association. These proposals aim to review and update the Bylows of Association, ensuring alignment with the current profile, size and strategy of the Company, as well as with the best corporate governance practices and the applicable legal and regulatory framework.

Statutory auditor's report and Audit report

(Free translation from a report originally issued in Portuguese language. In case of doubt the Portuguese version will always prevail)

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of PHAROL, SGPS S.A. (the Group), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025 (showing a total of 96 320 798 euros and a total net equity of 94 280 806 euros, including a net profit of 2 100 757 euros), and the income statement by nature, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated financial position of PHAROL, SGPS S.A. as at December 31, 2025, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted in the European Union.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and further technical and ethical standards and guidelines as issued by Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas (the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section below. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the law and we have fulfilled other ethical requirements in accordance with the Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas code of ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Measurement of debt securities issued by Rio Forte
Description of the key audit matter Audit Approach and Response
As of December 31, 2025, the balance of Other non current assets includes approximately 51 906 KEuros relating to the measurement of debt securities issued by Rio Forte.
As disclosed in Notes 2, 3, 12, 13 and 21 of Notes to the consolidated financial statements, on March 30, 2015, the commercial paper In order to respond to the identified risks, among the audit procedures carried out, we highlight the following:
• Analysis of the information contained in the reports and notices issued by the trustees of Rio Forte's insolvency proceedings;

securities issued by Rio Forte Investments, SA (Rio Forte) were returned to the Group, following the execution of the exchange agreement signed on September 8, 2014 between the Oi Group and the Pharol SGPS, SA. Group

Rio Forte is in insolvency proceedings taking place in Luxembourg, with high public notoriety.

In December 2024, the Luxembourg Commercial Court had already acknowledged and validated the claim in the amount of EUR 147 million, together with the corresponding interest. This decision was not challenged by the insolvency trustees of Rioforte and, as such, has become final and hereby.

On February 13, 2026, the Luxembourg Commercial Court recognised Pharol's remaining credit right, in the amount of EUR 750 million, over the insolvency estate of Rio Forte. In that decision, the Luxembourg Commercial Court dismissed all nullity actions brought by the Rio Forte insolvency trustees and by the ad hoc trustee of ESI, and, furthermore, upheld the validity of the payments made in February and April 2014.

This investment is relevant within the scope of Pharol's Group consolidated financial statements, and its measurement involves significant judgments, which justifies that this matter has been considered as relevant to the audit process.

  • Analysis of the judgments made by Management in determining the recoverable amount of debt securities as of December 31, 2025;
  • Requests for confirmation sent out to the institutions where the corresponding debt securities are deposited;
  • Monitoring of the communication made by the trustees of the insolvency proceedings of Espírito Santo International, SA (ESI);
  • Follow-up to the November 2023 defence of Rio Forte's trustees in which, based on a measure of prudence, they decided to submit to the Court of Luxembourg the decision to admit to the insolvency liability the claims lodged by Pharol Group, followed in 2024 by an action for annulment of claims paid by ESI in 2014.
  • Circularisation of the lawyers who monitor the insolvency proceedings and analysis and evaluation of the corresponding response regarding the estimated outcome for Pharol Group of these proceedings, also considering the report of the independent expert hired by Pharol Group and Rio Forte's insolvency trustees to document the financial flows related to the claimed credit;

Finally, we assessed whether the disclosures made by the Entity in the notes attached to the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the requirements of the accounting regulations in force.

Measurement of investment portfolios in financial assets
Description of the key audit matter Audit Approach and Response
As of December 31, 2025, the balance of Financial assets comprises around 27 758 KEuros relating to investment portfolios in financial assets. In order to respond to the identified risks, among the audit procedures carried out, we highlight the following:
As disclosed in Notes 3, 11, e 20 of Notes to the consolidated financial statements, these assets are valued at fair value with the changes recognized in results. • Circularisation of banks managing investment portfolios;
• Obtaining and analysing the Portfolio Management Reports, with reference to December 31, 2025;
• Confirmation of compliance with the application by banking entities of the criteria and limits previously defined by the Group;
• Validation of the appropriate form of classification and measurement of these investments;
• Substantive tests for validation, by sampling, of the valuation of securities in the portfolio, based on their official quotations;
The Group subscribed to investment portfolios in financial assets managed by these banking entities and applied in accordance with previously defined criteria and limits, being composed mainly of asset groups of bonds and shares of listed companies.
Management follows up in a timely manner on the possible existence of signs of impairment at each reporting date. His analysis is based, among others, on his knowledge of the business, experience in the sector and market studies on the assets in question. We also assessed the disclosures made by the Entity in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and verified and concluded on their adequacy in accordance with the requirements of the accounting regulations in force.
The relevance of the amounts in terms of value and interest to stakeholders justifies that this matter has been considered relevant to the audit process.

Responsibilities of management and the supervisory body for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for:

  • the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted in the European Union.
  • the preparation of the consolidated management report, corporate governance report, and remuneration report in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • designing and maintaining an appropriate internal control system to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error
  • the adoption of accounting policies and principles appropriate in the circumstances; and

forvs mazars

  • assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and disclosing, as applicable, the matters that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The supervisory body is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • communicate with those charged with governance, including the supervisory body, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

  • determine, from the matters communicated with those charged with governance, including the supervisory body, those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes their public disclosure.


forv/s mazars

  • provide the supervisory body with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Our responsibility also includes the verification that the information contained in the consolidated management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements, and the verification of the requirements as provided in numbers 4 and 5 of article 451 of the Portuguese Companies' Code on corporate governance report as well has verification of remuneration report.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

On the consolidated management report

Pursuant to article 451.°, n.° 3, al. (e) of the Portuguese Companies' Code, it is our opinion that the consolidated management report was prepared in accordance with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements and the information contained therein is consistent with the audited financial statements and, having regard to our knowledge and assessment over the Group, we have not identified any material misstatements.

On the corporate governance report

Pursuant to article 451.°, n.° 4, of the Portuguese Companies' Code, it is our opinion that the corporate report includes the information includes the elements required of the Entity pursuant to article 29-H of the Securities Code, and no material inaccuracies have been identified in the information disclosed therein, complying with the provisions of paragraph 1(c), (d), (f), (h), (i) and (l) of said article.

On the remuneration report

Pursuant to article 26-G(6) of the Securities Code, we hereby inform that the Entity has included in a separate chapter, in its corporate governance report, the information provided for in paragraph 2 of that article.

On the European Single Eletronic Format (ESEF)

The financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025 must comply with the applicable requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 (ESEF Regulation).

Management is responsible for preparing and disclosing the consolidated annual report in accordance with the ESEF Regulation.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements included in the consolidated annual report are presented in accordance with the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation.

Our procedures took into account the OROC Technical Application Guide on ESEF reporting and included, among others:

  • obtaining an understanding of the consolidated financial reporting process, including submitting the consolidated annual report in valid XHTML format.
  • Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement associated with the marking of financial statement information in XBRL format using iXBRL technology. This assessment was based on an understanding of the process implemented by the entity to mark up the information.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements included in the consolidated annual report are presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation.


forvs mazars

On the additional matters provided in article 10 of the Regulation (EU) n° 537/2014

Pursuant to article 10 of the Regulation (EU) n° 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 16 April 2014, in addition to the key audit matters mentioned above, we also report the following:

  • Management has confirmed to us that they are not aware of any fraud or suspicion of fraud having occurred that has a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. In planning and executing our audit in accordance with ISAs we maintained professional skepticism, and we designed audit procedures to respond to the possibility of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud. As a result of our work we have not identified any material misstatement on the financial statements due to fraud.
  • We confirm that our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report that we prepared and delivered to the supervisory body of the Entity on February 26, 2026.
  • We declare that we have not provided any prohibited services pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 and that we have maintained our independence from the Group during the conduct of the audit.
  • We inform you that, apart from the audit, we have not provided the Group with any other services.

INTRODUCTION

PHAROL, SGPS S.A. com registered office at Rua Gorgel do Amaral, n.º 4, CV. Esq., 1250-119 Lisbon, share capital of EUR 26,895,375.00, registered at the Commercial Registry Office under the single registration and legal person number 503215058 ("PHAROL" or "Company") is a listed company issuing securities admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon.

PHAROL is, first and foremost and given its history, a company with very special characteristics in the Portuguese business fabric, having to manage and face its small size with the permanent challenges of a listed company.

The company's profile has gradually adapted to its unique reality and the pursuit of its objectives:

  1. the optimisation of the value of its assets, considering different scenarios for the diversification of its activity, implying strategic and complex decisions in the defence of the interests of shareholders, investors, employees, suppliers and stakeholders in the Company's activity.
  2. the cancellation of any liabilities and the elimination of actual or potential uncertainties that may threaten its value, managing to the limit of its possibilities, the various legal proceedings in which it is involved, in order to defend the Company and its shareholders;
  3. the containment of operational costs in the management of the first two areas.

Despite its small structure, PHAROL encompasses in its strategy matters related to sustainability, social responsibility, culture and knowledge, supporting and having an active presence in relevant institutions in the community in general, such as the Casa da Música Foundation and the Serralves Foundation.

This is the reality that must be taken into account when considering this report.

In fact, in the vast list of recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance, situations, such as the one provided for in recommendation VII.7, decision-making processes with an impact on climate change, are by nature inapplicable due to the small size and specific activity of PHAROL.

As for other matters, PHAROL follows in this Report the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance ("CGS IPCG") which entered into force on 1 January 2018, revised in 2023. PHAROL continues to prepare the same Report in accordance with the annex to CMVM Regulation No. 4/2013 in force since 1 January 2014 and with the circular issued by the same Commission on 28 January 2023. This document aims to reflect on the adjustment and relevance of each recommendation to the reality and situation of the Company with reflections on the respective corporate governance model, of a classic nature, and that provided for in Article 278(1)(a) of the Companies Code.

The Board of Directors plans to submit to the shareholders' appreciation and deliberation, at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, a set of proposals to amend certain articles of the Company's Articles of Association. These proposals aim to review and update the Articles of Association, ensuring alignment with the current profile, size and strategy of the Company, as well as with the best corporate governance practices and the applicable legal and regulatory framework.

The structure of the PHAROL Group as of December 31, 2025 is as follows:

PART I – INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE, ORGANIZATION AND GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

A. SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE

I. Capital Structure

1. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

PHAROL's share capital is 26,895,375 euros, which is fully paid up and is represented by 896,512,500 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of three euro cents each.

All of PHAROL's common shares are admitted to trading on the regulated market Euronext Lisbon.

2. RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFERABILITY OF SHARES, SUCH AS CONSENT CLAUSES FOR DISPOSAL, OR LIMITATIONS ON OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

The Company does not adopt any limits specifically regarding the transferability of shares. However, the Articles of Association provide that shareholders who carry out, directly or indirectly, activities competing with the activity carried out by the companies in a control relationship with PHAROL may not hold, without prior authorization from the General Meeting, common shares representing more than 10% of the Company's capital stock.

3. NUMBER OF OWN SHARES, PERCENTAGE OF CORRESPONDING CAPITAL AND PERCENTAGE OF VOTING RIGHTS TO WHICH OWN SHARES CORRESPOND

As of December 31, 2025, the Company held 74,689,552 own shares, corresponding to 8.33% of PHAROL's share capital.

The voting rights inherent to own shares are suspended, under the terms of the applicable legislation.

4. SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENTS WITH CHANGE-OF-CONTROL CLAUSES

There are no significant contracts that will come into force in the event of a change of control of PHAROL. There are no measures that have the effect of requiring payments or the assumption of charges by the Company in the event of a transition of control or a change in the composition of the management body and that appear to be likely to prejudice the free transferability of shares and the free assessment by shareholders of the performance of the members of the management body.

5. RENEWAL/REVOCATION OF DEFENSIVE MEASURES, IN PARTICULAR THOSE THAT PROVIDE FOR THE LIMITATION OF THE NUMBER OF VOTES THAT MAY BE HELD OR EXERCISED BY A SINGLE SHAREHOLDER

PHAROL's Articles of Association contain a limitation on the counting of votes in the sense that votes cast by a single shareholder holding ordinary shares, by himself or through a representative, in his own name or as a representative of another shareholder, which exceed 10% of the total share capital (Article 13(12)), are not counted.

As the Company's Articles of Association provide for a limitation on the counting of votes, the

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


discussion of this point was brought to the consideration of the Shareholders at the Meeting held on April 30, 2021, and it was decided to maintain this limitation.

In addition, in the Board of Directors Regulations in force, and in accordance with recommendation III.6 of the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance ("CGS IPCG") which entered into force on 1 January 2018 and revised in 2023, it is stated that, as the Company's Articles of Association provide for a limitation on the number of votes that can be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or in consultation with other shareholders, the Board of Directors must promote that, at least every 5 years, the amendment or maintenance of this statutory provision is subject to deliberation by the General Meeting. As a result of this legal rule, this proposal will be submitted for deliberation at the next General Assembly to be held in 2026.

6. SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENTS THAT ARE KNOWN TO THE COMPANY AND MAY LEAD TO RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF SECURITIES OR VOTING RIGHTS

The Company is not aware of the existence of any shareholders' agreements that may lead to restrictions on the transfer of securities or voting rights.

II. SHARES AND BONDS HELD

7. HOLDERS OF QUALIFYING HOLDINGS, PERCENTAGE OF CAPITAL AND VOTES ATTRIBUTABLE, SOURCE AND CAUSES OF IMPUTATION

As of December 31, 2025, the interests of qualified shareholders represented 19.56% of PHAROL's share capital, as follows:

Report Date Shareholders Number of Shares % of Capital % of Voting Rights
06-Jun-25 Burlington Loan Management DAC 175.316.330 19.56% 10.00%

PHAROL has a shareholder structure with 52% in Portugal and the remaining share capital held by foreign shareholders, divided essentially between the USA and Canada with 20%, Continental Europe with 19%, Ireland and the United Kingdom 7% of the shareholder base.

With regard to the members of the management bodies, reference is made to paragraph 17 of Part I below.

The members of the supervisory bodies do not hold shares in PHAROL.

9. SPECIAL POWERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BODY, NAMELY WITH REGARD TO RESOLUTIONS ON CAPITAL INCREASE

The powers of PHAROL's Board of Directors are described in point 21 below.

Prior to a resolution of the General Meeting that sets the parameters to which the capital reinforcement or reinforcements are subject, PHAROL's Articles of Association authorize the Board of Directors, with the favorable opinion of the Supervisory Board, to resolve to increase the share capital, for one or more times, and by cash contributions, in an amount up to 80,000,000 euros. The overall amount of the authorised capital increase includes not only the nominal value of the issue(s) but also the share premium(s). For the calculation of the overall limit of 80,000,000.00, convertible bonds issued under the eighth article of the Statutes shall always be taken into account.

10. SIGNIFICANT COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN QUALIFYING HOLDING HOLDERS AND THE COMPANY

PHAROL does not have significant commercial relationships with holders of any qualifying holdings.

The relevant business with the other holders of qualifying holdings, other than related parties, carried out during the 2025 fiscal year are described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2025 Consolidated Annual Report, and there are no other significant commercial relationships between the shareholders with qualified holdings and the Company.

EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE

12. POSSIBLE RESTRICTIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS

Under the terms of the Company's Articles of Association, each share corresponds to one vote. Only shareholders with the right to vote on the date of registration (i.e., on the fifth trading day prior to the General Shareholders' Meeting) and who comply with the procedures and deadlines set out in the notice may attend, participate and vote at the General Shareholders' Meeting.

In accordance with Article 13 of the Company's Articles of Association, votes cast by a shareholder holding ordinary shares, by himself or through a representative, in his own name or as a representative of another shareholder, which exceed 10% of the total voting rights corresponding to the share capital, will not be counted, and shares held by persons who are in the situations provided for in Article 20 of the Securities Code will not be counted. The limitation of each person covered being proportional to the number of votes cast.

There are no shares that do not confer voting rights, without prejudice to the limitations described above.

In addition, and under the terms of article 22 of the Securities Code and article 13 of PHAROL's Articles of Association, the Shareholders are granted the right to exercise their voting rights by electronic mail or post. The Company makes available on its electronic address, from the date of the Notice of each General Meeting, forms designed to facilitate access to all the information necessary for the issuance of the documentation to be submitted by the shareholders to ensure their participation in the General Meeting, as well as providing an electronic address dedicated to speeding up between the shareholders and the Chairman of the Meeting. In addition, it affects an internal working team to support the work of the General Shareholders' Meeting and the shareholders.

In accordance with the Articles of Association, the terms and conditions for the exercise of voting by post or electronic mail will be defined by the Chairman of the General Meeting in the call, in order to ensure its authenticity, regularity, security, reliability and confidentiality until the time of voting.

The Company's Articles of Association provide that the exercise of voting by post or electronic mail may cover all matters contained in the notice, under the terms and conditions set out therein, and the votes exercised in this way will be considered at the time of the voting scrutiny in addition to the voting rights exercised during the General Shareholders' Meeting.

In any case, the authenticity of the vote shall be assured before the Chairman of the General Meeting by means of:

  • Signed communication, accompanied by a legible copy of an identification document, in the case of natural persons;
  • Communication signed by the legal representative(s) of the entity, accompanied by a legible copy of the identification document of the legal representative(s) and the document proving the legitimacy of the signatory(ies) (in the case of legal persons registered in Portugal, it is sufficient to indicate the access code to the permanent certificate of the represented entity);
  • Another suitable means of verifying the authenticity of the vote, to be determined by the Chairman of the Board.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of the vote, such communications must be sent in a sealed envelope or to a dedicated email, which will only be considered at the time of the voting scrutiny.

With regard to the vote by electronic mail, and in accordance with the Company's practice,

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


shareholders with voting rights may exercise it by e-mail, in compliance with the established requirements, provided that until the time and date set in the notice of the General Shareholders' Meeting, they send it to the Chairman of the General Shareholders' Meeting the ballot papers and voting instructions by this means, indicating the email address to which they want the respective ballot papers to be sent.

Following this request, shareholders will receive a communication containing the email address to be used for the exercise of voting rights – an address exclusively created and dedicated for this purpose – and a password to be mentioned in the email with which the shareholder may exercise his or her voting rights.

The ballot paper must contain the digital signature of the shareholder (or respective organic or legal representative) or simple signature, and must be accompanied by (i) a copy of the identification document of the individual shareholder, or (ii) the identification document of the representative of the legal person, and also, in this case, an access code to the permanent certificate of the represented entity (or equivalent document, proof of the representative's legitimacy). As an alternative to sending a copy of the identification document, the signatures may be notarized under the legal terms.

Pursuant to article 22-A of the Code, PHAROL will send electronic confirmation of receipt of the votes to the person who sent them.

Votes cast by post or electronic mail are valid as negative votes in relation to resolution proposals that may be presented after their issuance. The presence at the General Meeting of a shareholder who has exercised the respective right to vote by post or electronic mail, or of his representative, determines the revocation of the vote cast in that form.

In accordance with the practice adopted by PHAROL, voting by mail must be exercised according to the following procedure:

Shareholders with voting rights may, in accordance with article 22 of the Portuguese Securities Code, exercise their right by post, provided that, until the time and date set in the notice, they send a communication addressed to the Chairman of the General Shareholders' Meeting indicating the e-mail address to which they wish the ballot papers to be sent. Shareholders may also remove the ballot papers from the Company's website in www.pharol.pt from the date of the call.

The ballot papers duly completed and signed, under the terms referred to below, must be sent in a sealed envelope to the Chairman of the Polling Station.

The ballot papers must be signed by the shareholder (or respective organic or legal representative), accompanied by a copy of the shareholder's identification document, in the case of a natural person, or a copy of the identification document of the representative of the legal person, and also, in this case, an access code to the permanent certificate of the represented entity (or equivalent document, proof of the representative's legitimacy). As an alternative to sending a copy of the identification document, the signatures can be notarized under the legal terms.

Without prejudice to obtaining ballot papers via the Internet, ballot papers are available to shareholders at the Company's registered office, and may also be provided by hand, by post or by e-mail.

The deadline for receiving explanations of vote by electronic and postal mail, in accordance with the practice adopted by PHAROL, is 3 working days in advance of the date of the General Assembly meeting.

PHAROL's Articles of Association do not provide for any system of highlighting rights of patrimonial content.

Considering the mechanisms for participation and voting in the General Meeting described above, PHAROL promotes shareholder participation, through postal or electronic voting, by a representative with a power of attorney under the legal and statutory terms. Shareholders are

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025
15


also allowed to attend the General Meeting via videoconference under the terms set out in the notice.

  1. MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE OF VOTING RIGHTS THAT MAY BE EXERCISED BY A SINGLE SHAREHOLDER OR BY SHAREHOLDERS WHO ARE IN ANY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH 1 OF ARTICLE 20 OF THE SECURITIES CODE

In this regard, reference is made to paragraph 12 of Part I above.

  1. SHAREHOLDER RESOLUTIONS THAT, BY STATUTORY IMPOSITION, CAN ONLY BE TAKEN WITH A QUALIFIED MAJORITY, IN ADDITION TO THOSE PROVIDED FOR BY LAW

Pursuant to Article 14 of the Company's Articles of Association, the General Meeting shall decide, on first call or on subsequent call, by the majority of the votes cast, without prejudice to the requirement of a qualified majority in the cases provided for by law.

Thus, the constitutive and deliberative quorum of the General Meeting established in PHAROL's Articles of Association does not differ from that established in the Commercial Companies Code.

II. ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION

COMPOSITION

  1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE ADOPTED GOVERNANCE MODEL

PHAROL adopts a governance model that is based on the existence of a Board of Directors and a Statutory Auditor appointed on the proposal of the Supervisory Board. In 2017, a Managing Director was appointed, maintaining the delegation of powers to the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the term that began in 2024.

In accordance with the provisions of the company's Articles of Association, in the event that the Board of Directors appoints a Managing Director, it may or may not establish, at the same meeting in which it appoints it, one or more monitoring committees for certain specific matters. In the specific case of PHAROL, given the small size of the company and the close proximity of the Board of Directors in the analysis and knowledge of the various matters related to it, as well as the high frequency of meetings, there was no need to establish any monitoring committee.

Pursuant to article 26-B of the Securities Code, it will be up to the Board of Directors, when not appointed by the Remuneration Committee, to submit a proposal for a remuneration policy for approval by the General Meeting.

The members of the Governing Bodies and the Board of the General Meeting are elected for a three-year term, and may be re-elected, one or more times, within the limits provided for by law.

The Supervisory Board, together with the Statutory Auditor, performs the supervisory functions arising from the applicable legal and regulatory provisions.

To ensure its operational operation, PHAROL has 6 permanent employees and the support of external consultants and advisory services in the legal, financial and accounting areas.

In this context of such a small structure and size, the existence of 3 Directors, the Supervisory Board and the ROC, are sufficient to efficiently guarantee the functions that are entrusted to

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


the management of the Company, including the minimization of risks.

On 31 December 2025, PHAROL's governance model could be presented in schematic terms as follows:

img-3.jpeg

16. STATUTORY RULES ON PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO THE APPOINTMENT AND REPLACEMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The members of the Board of Directors are elected by the General Meeting in accordance with the terms described in point 17 of Part I below.

The Articles of Association determine that the absence of any director from more than half of the ordinary meetings of the Board of Directors during a financial year, whether consecutive or interpolated, without justification accepted by the Board of Directors, is considered as a definitive absence of that director. Such definitive absence must be declared by the Board of Directors, and the director in question must be replaced in accordance with the law and the Articles of Association.

17. COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Under the terms of the bylaws, the Board of Directors is composed of a minimum number of 3 and a maximum of 7 members, elected by the General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting held on 22 March 2024, three directors were elected (one of them accumulating the functions of Managing Director).

PHAROL complied with the provisions of Law No. 62/2017, of 1 August (regime of balanced representation between women and men in the management and supervisory bodies of public sector entities and companies listed on the stock exchange), integrating two men and one woman on its Board of Directors.

In addition, in 2025 PHAROL approved its Plan for Gender Equality 2026, a document that can

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


be consulted on the Firm's website in www.pharol.pt

The term of office of the directors is three years, and they may be reelected, one or more times, within the limits provided for by law.

As of December 31, 2025, the Board of Directors had the following composition:

| Holders
(date of first assignment) | Board of Directors | Executive | Independence
(1) | No. of Actions |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Luís Maria Viana Palha da Silva
(2015) | President | Yes | No | 200.000 |
| Diogo Filipe Gil Castanheira
Pereira (2023) | Member | No | No | |
| Rafaela Andrade Reis Figueira
(2024) | Member | No | Yes | |

(1) Assessment of independence carried out in accordance with internal regulations and with the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 414 of the Portuguese Companies Code and point 18 of the annex to CMVM Regulation No. 4/2013, as applicable.

The non-executive members of the Board of Directors correspond to the majority of the directors in office.

The Managing Director effectively reported to the other members of the Board of Directors on developments within the scope of his position.

18. DISTINCTION BETWEEN EXECUTIVE AND NON-EXECUTIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND, IN RELATION TO NON-EXECUTIVE MEMBERS, IDENTIFICATION OF MEMBERS WHO CAN BE CONSIDERED INDEPENDENT

The Company has only one executive director and as referred to in point 17 of Part I above, on December 31, 2025, the Company distinguishes executive and non-executive directors and in the same point the directors considered independent are identified.

PHAROL's Board of Directors has, as of December 31, 2025, 1 independent director out of a total of 2 non-executives.

The number of non-executive and independent directors is adequate in relation to the provisions of Recommendations IV.2.2. and IV.2.3. of the IPCG Code, having a number of non-executive directors who meet the independence requirements of 1/3. The conditions are thus met for the effective performance of the Board of Directors in relation to the size of the Company. This ensures strategic decision-making regarding the company's risk and investment profile, constructive supervision of the results achieved, as well as the ability to influence an efficient decision-making process and implement appropriate governance, sustainability and ethical conduct practices.

There are several rules and procedures established in the company that allow for a close and regular articulation between the various members of the Board of Directors, namely between the respective Chairman and the other directors, and the existence of the conditions and means necessary for the performance of their duties.

The director considered independent by PHAROL, on December 31, 2025, as stated in point 17 of Part I above, meets the necessary conditions to perform her duties and fulfill her duties of diligent action and in the interest of the Company independently. Thus, the Board of Directors considers that the Company's management body includes a number of independent members appropriate to its size and shareholder structure.

The managing director issues regular reports on all decisions taken by him within his statutory competences, thus allowing the raising of any questions formulated by the non-executive directors on the topics discussed.

The two non-executive directors have direct communication channels to the Chairman of the Board of Directors (who is at the same time the only Executive Director, with the designation of Managing Director) and can also request meetings whenever deemed necessary. In addition, the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors brings together exactly the non-executive directors with the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

As provided for in PHAROL's Service Order No. 3/2017, the members of the Company's Board of Directors must send to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, within 10 working days following their election or co-optation and until January 31 of each year, statements prepared in accordance with an annex to said Service Order.

19. PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND OTHER RELEVANT CURRICULUM ELEMENTS OF EACH OF THE MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

In 2023, the Board of Directors approved the document on the Internal Policy for the Selection of Members of the Management and Supervisory Bodies (a document that is available for consultation on the company's website www.pharol.pt), taking into account the most current practices in the market and the recommendatory principles. Both have been pointing towards the fact that companies should establish criteria and requirements regarding the profile of new members of the corporate bodies appropriate to the function to be performed, considering, along with individual attributes such as competence, independence, integrity, availability and experience, diversity requirements that, as a whole, contribute to the excellence of the performance of the bodies and the balance in their composition. The above-mentioned document outlines and identifies the criteria of the main qualities required by PHAROL for the selection of the Members of the Management and Supervisory Bodies (Body Profile) considering that their respective curricula are, in essence, complementary to these criteria.

The aforementioned Internal Policy for the Selection of Members of the Management and Supervisory Bodies was also approved at the General Meeting on March 22, 2024.

The selection of the members of the management and supervisory bodies is based on the assumption that competence and personal characteristics are essential foundations of good performance and that this must be aligned with the medium and long-term interests of the Company, its strategy, the mechanisms for defending the interests of its shareholders and stakeholders in general, aiming at its sustainability.

In addition, the composition of the members of the Board of Directors of PHAROL, SGPS S.A. is also defined in the regulations of this board, described in paragraph 21 of this report.

PHAROL also complies with the provisions of the CVM in force on December 31, 2025, as well as the regime of balanced representation between women and men among the management bodies of public sector entities and companies listed on the stock exchange, Law No. 62/2017.

I. STATUTES

48. RULES APPLICABLE TO THE AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY

Constitutive quorum of the General Assembly

PHAROL's Articles of Association do not establish any constitutive quorum higher than that established by law.

When amendments to the Articles of Association are at stake, the General Meeting may only resolve on first call if shareholders holding shares corresponding to at least one third of the share capital are present or represented. On second call, this requirement is not required, and the Meeting may deliberate on any matter, regardless of the number of shareholders present.

Deliberative quorum of the General Assembly

PHAROL's Statutes do not establish any deliberative quorum higher than that established by law.

Resolutions regarding the amendment of the Articles of Association must be approved by a minimum of two-thirds of the votes cast, whether the General Meeting meets on first or second call, unless, in the latter case, shareholders holding at least half of the share capital are present or represented, in which case such resolutions may be taken by a majority of the votes cast (paragraphs 3 and 4 of article 386 of the CSC).

By resolution of the Board of Directors, the Company may move its headquarters to any other location in the national territory, as well as create and maintain anywhere in the national territory, or outside it, agencies, delegations or any other form of representation, which will determine the necessary change in the Articles of Association.

The Board of Directors may also, with the favorable opinion of the Fiscal Council, resolve to increase the share capital, prior to a resolution of the general meeting, an act that will determine changes to the Company's Articles of Association.

II. REPORTING OF IRREGULARITIES

49. MEANS AND POLICY OF REPORTING IRREGULARITIES OCCURRING IN SOCIETY

In 2016, PHAROL carried out the last revision regarding the rules and procedures to be adopted in the Whistleblowing System.

In the context of Whistleblowing, improper practices and/or irregularities are considered to be all acts or omissions, intentional or negligent, practiced within the scope of PHAROL's activity, which may have an impact on the financial statements or information sent to the Portuguese regulatory authority, the CMVM, or even those that cause damage to PHAROL's assets and good name.

The system provides adequate security measures for the protection of the information and data contained in communications. In particular, restricted access, from a physical and logical point of view, to the System's servers will be guaranteed, and the means of collecting and archiving information must be exclusive to the System.

Both the confidentiality of the participation and the anonymity of its author will always be guaranteed, unless they themselves unequivocally intend and declare otherwise.


Under no circumstances is any reprisal against those who carry out such reports tolerated.

The Qualified Reporting of Improper Practices (Whistleblowing) can be found on the PHAROL website at:

https://pharol.pt/pagina/governo-da-sociedade/participacao-de-praticas-de-indevidas-whistleblowing/

III. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Internal Control System

The Internal Control System implemented at PHAROL was based on an internationally recognized model, the COSO (Committee of Sponsorship Organizations of the Treadway Commission), making use of the layers established in this model, namely: (i) Entity Level Controls; (ii) IT Level Controls; and (iii) Process Level Controls.

PHAROL has designed a manual and implemented controls for the business cycles with greater representation in the Society. Regarding smaller processes, and as part of the improvement of the internal control and risk management environment, a set of minimum internal control requirements was defined.

The internal control manual and the most relevant business cycles at PHAROL can be summarized in the following table

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


img-3.jpeg

The identification and design of controls relevant to financial reporting, whether preventive, detective or corrective, are documented in the appropriate manual, in accordance with the layers established in COSO. The manual is reviewed whenever there are changes in the processes, or periodically, in order to attest to its adherence to the reality of PHAROL's operations.

Currently, PHAROL has identified 49 controls, of which 31 are considered key controls.

The internal control system is annually verified by external auditors who also verify the application of the policies and remuneration systems in force in the Company.

50. PERSONS, BODIES OR COMMITTEES RESPONSIBLE FOR INTERNAL AUDIT AND/OR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

It is incumbent upon the Fiscal Council to monitor PHAROL on a permanent basis as follows:

a) evaluate internal procedures relating to accounting and auditing matters;
b) assess the effectiveness of the Risk Management System in the fiscal, legal, economic and financial aspects;
c) evaluate the effectiveness of the Internal Control System;
d) analyze the External Audit function.

The Internal Control System is monitored by the Board of Directors, which identifies the company's risks, the results of the risk management process, the materiality in terms of financial reporting and proposes the implementation of measures to improve the processes and procedures instituted.

Given the size of the company, an internal audit system is not implemented, and these activities are ensured when necessary by the External Auditor.

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025

51. RELATIONSHIPS OF HIERARCHICAL AND/OR FUNCTIONAL DEPENDENCE ON OTHER BODIES OR COMMITTEES OF THE COMPANY

The activity plan of the External Audit and Risk Management function, in which the audits to be carried out and their scope are defined, is approved annually by the Managing Director and communicated to PHAROL's Supervisory Board. These audits aim to ensure that PHAROL has adequate control mechanisms in place in terms of the reliability and integrity of financial and operational reports, the efficiency of its operations and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The evolution of the execution of the defined plan of activities, as well as the aggregate results of the audits carried out, is reported to the Supervisory Board and the Managing Director to monitor the evolution of the internal control and risk management system and to define action plans to mitigate the risks detected and to resolve them.

52. OTHER FUNCTIONAL AREAS WITH SKILLS IN RISK CONTROL

Risk Management is promoted by the Managing Director and the Board of Directors in order to identify, assess and manage uncertainties, threats and opportunities that may affect the pursuit of the strategic plan and objectives, decide on the level of exposure and the overall risk limits to be assumed by PHAROL in its different activities and ensure that risk management policies and procedures are followed.

PHAROL's level of risk results from the degree of risk acceptance of the Company's Board of Directors, based on the criteria agreed between the Board of Directors, the Managing Director and the Supervisory Board, the latter being, under the law, responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of the Risk Management System in the fiscal, legal, economic and financial aspects.

Risk Management is carried out by the Chief Executive Officer, reported to the Board of Directors, supervised by the Supervisory Board.

53. MAIN RISKS (ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL AND LEGAL) TO WHICH THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED IN THE EXERCISE OF ITS ACTIVITY

Of the various risks that may adversely affect PHAROL's activity, the following stand out:


Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025

Macro Risk Sub-Risk Description Mitigation Measures (Used only in Government Report)
Economic Risks Information Security PHAROL is exposed to security risks on a daily basis, including the availability, integrity and confidentiality of information. PHAROL has implemented backups, firewall and antivirus procedures in its computer systems, as well as building security, in order to mitigate risks related to information security.
Global Macroeconomic Adverse impact on the value of financial assets and PHAROL's position due to global macroeconomic shocks (inflation, rising interest rates, recession, banking crisis, geopolitical conflicts or new global health crisis). High liquidity, absence of debt, prudent management of resources and focus on liquid assets.
Financial Risks Foreign Exchange Exchange rate risks are essentially related to investments in financial instruments in foreign currency that are part of the investment portfolios in shares and bonds. The Company's policy is not to hedge the value of the financial investment. However, operations of significant size with effects on treasury may generate hedging operations. To reduce exchange rate risk, the Company may hedge its position using derivatives, however it currently has a policy not to hedge the value of the financial investment.
Risk of Financial Cyberfraud The growing dependence on electronic platforms for treasury operations exposes PHAROL to risks of targeted cyber fraud and enhances possible improper access to bank accounts and unauthorized financial movements. Access conditioned by multi-factor authentication; Manual signatures; Double check system;

54. PROCESS OF IDENTIFICATION, ASSESSMENT, MONITORING, CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF RISKS

Risk Management Process

The Risk Management process implemented at PHAROL is also based on the internationally recognized methodology – COSO II, developed by the Committee of Sponsorship Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This approach is based on the identification and analysis of key factors and uncertainty factors that may affect the generation of value and the fulfillment of the strategic plan and objectives.

PHAROL has defined as a priority commitment the implementation of risk assessment and management mechanisms that may affect its operations. These mechanisms are based on an integrated and transversal risk management model that, among other objectives, seeks to ensure the implementation of good corporate governance practices and transparency in communication with the market and shareholders.

The entire process is monitored and supervised by the Fiscal Council. Within the scope of this body's competences, with regard to the supervision of the effectiveness of the risk management system, the monitoring of the quality, integrity and effectiveness of the risk management system and the internal control system stand out, including the annual review of its adequacy and effectiveness and, in general, monitoring the execution of the functions performed by the Managing Director.

Risk Management Methodology

Considering the need for PHAROL to have clear mechanisms for assessing and managing risks that affect its activity, the following components were defined in the implementation of the risk assessment and management process:

  • Typology of Risks that allows the reference of the main risk factors that, in general, may affect PHAROL. This component of the risk management process is structured into three major categories of risks, depending on their nature:

  • Economic Risks: reflect the risks arising from the macroeconomic environment, as well as the impact of entities and assets not controlled by PHAROL;

  • Financial Risks: associated with PHAROL's financial performance and transparency in its communication to the market;
  • Legal and Legal Risks: are the result of past, current and future situations associated with hiring, assumption of rights and responsibility and relations with regulators and authorities;

  • Risk Management that formalizes the processes and procedures for identifying, analyzing, mitigating and reporting relevant risks.

Identified risks

The following table presents the risks currently identified at the level of PHAROL's Risk Management Model and on which the entire risk management process is developed.

39


Economic Risks Information Security
Global Macroeconomic
Financial Risks Foreign Exchange
Risk of Financial Cyberfraud
Interest rates
Treasury Applications - Credit and Liquidity
Eventuality of Rio Forte's default in the repayment of the instruments
Legal and Legal Risks Legal proceedings
Litigation or investigations initiated under the Rio Forte Instruments or the Business Combination
Possibility of non-compliance with tax contingency commitments

Risk assessment

When assessing the risks, the Managing Director and the Board of Directors consider the existence of foreseeable and unforeseeable events. If most events are predictable and have already been addressed in the management programs and budgets prepared, there are events that are often unpredictable. The Managing Director and the Board of Directors assess the risks that may cause significant impacts on the Company, taking into account both the inherent risk of the risk materializing and the residual risk (the one that still remains after the measures taken by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director).

Monitoring, control and risk management

The Board of Directors allocates responsibilities to the Managing Director in order to formalize procedures aligned with the strategy and level of exposure/risk tolerance defined for PHAROL, in order to identify:

  • The processes for monitoring the mitigation actions for each risk, according to the risk management strategy adopted by the Board of Directors and supervised by the Supervisory Board;
  • The processes of disclosure and reporting of information resulting from the risk management process.

The operationalization of the risk management methodology is an interactive and cyclical process that can be summarized by the following table:

Risk Management Methodology
Board of Directors Identifies the main risks affecting PHAROL;
Decides on the performance and hierarchy of mitigation actions.
Managing Director Implements policies and controls in accordance with the strategy defined by the Board of Directors;
Monitors the implementation of controls.
Fiscal Council Supervises and evaluates the risk management model;
Proposes improvements and changes to the model;
Review the main risks.

The Board of Directors also annually assesses climate risk and has concluded that, given the

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


nature and size of the company, there is no relevant direct impact on its activity.

55. MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IMPLEMENTED IN THE COMPANY IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE PROCESS

The broader scope of the internal control system implemented by PHAROL includes existing controls both as to the accuracy and completeness of the disclosures made, as well as their compliance with the Company's financial information. At the beginning of the process, the Managing Director, together with the services of the Firm, the External Auditor and the Statutory Auditor, schedules the process and identifies stakeholders/responsibility for the preparation/disclosure of financial information.

Prior to approval by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, the disclosures of financial information are submitted for the opinion of the Supervisory Board, in the context of the Company's governance model. Both the approvals of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, as well as the opinion of the Fiscal Council, are preceded by a set of validation and accuracy procedures, carried out by the Company's services.

Complementary information to the curricula of the Governing Bodies

In line with recommendation II.2.1 of the Corporate Governance Code of the Portuguese Institute of Corporate Governance of 2018 ("IPCG Code"), revised in 2023, PHAROL provides this complementary information to the curricula of the corporate bodies on their individual attributes and diversity requirements, which can contribute to their effective performance.

This document, focusing on the curricula presented by the members of the Board of Directors and CF, elected at the General Meeting held on March 22, 2024, on the proposal of the Company's shareholders, is intended to contribute to a more detailed and objective analysis of the members of these bodies, materializing the specification of the criteria and requirements related to individual attributes as set out in the IPCG Corporate Governance Code and in the PHAROL document on Internal Governance Policy Selection of the Members of the Management and Supervisory Bodies, approved by the Board of Directors on November 16, 2023 and subsequently ratified by the Shareholders at the General Meeting held on March 22, 2024. This document is available for consultation on the company's official website (www.pharol.pt)

Composition of the Board of Directors and Fiscal Council

  • Board of Directors composed of three members
  • Fiscal Council composed of three sitting members and one alternate

The composition of these bodies is appropriate to the size of the company and its activity. It allows the promotion of an effective functioning and performance of the BoD, considering aspects such as (i) the legal framework (composition of 3 to 7 members, in accordance with PHAROL's statutes) and Recommendations on this matter of the IPCG Code regarding the appropriate number of executive, non-executive and independent directors), (ii) the competencies, the necessary experience and knowledge, and (iii) the appropriate level of diversity.

1. Individual Attributes

1.1. Education, Competence and Experience

In the field of academic training, and in accordance with their respective curricula, the members of the Board of Directors have complementary training in the international sphere, which includes Masters, MBA's and PhDs. We emphasize that the directors Dr. Luis Palha da Silva and Dr. Rafaela Andrade Reis Figueira both have training in the areas of economics and management, with Dr. Diogo Castanheira Pereira having a background in the legal area.

The members of the LP have the required and appropriate qualifications to perform these functions with qualifications, training and solid knowledge in auditing or accounting.

The curricula presented by all the members of the CF denote a vast experience in the exercise of functions in supervisory bodies in multiple sectors. The President of the CF, Dr. José Eduardo Fragoso Tavares de Bettencourt, has a wide accumulated experience of more than 30 years of professional life in the banking area, including the international areas of business, cost optimization, commercial network management, risk management, IT, operations and project management. It should be noted that he held top management positions in the banking area and also played a relevant role as a sports director.

Dr. Isabel Maria Gonçalves Novo also has a curriculum with a solid background and extensive experience in the area of supervision, of which we highlight Financial and Management Consulting and her role in the management of the Risk and Credit Analysis department in a Financial Institution.

Eng. João Manuel Pisco de Castro, member of the CF, has extensive experience in executive management of companies, in executive and non-executive positions, both national and international.

The alternate member of the CF, Dr. Francisco José Porfirio Vieira, also has experience in the areas of accounting and taxation, as well as in projects and clients from the private sector,

the State business sector and other Public Bodies.

The members of the CF have extensive experience in the areas of finance and risk management and, as a whole, training and experience in listed companies.

Regarding the competence and experience of the members of the Board of Directors, the following stand out:

a) Leadership, Strategy and Management

The three members that make up the Board of Directors have extensive management experience and have held management and administration positions, which gives them skills and strategic vision, promoting a strong competence in the area of leadership of the Company.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Luis Palha da Silva, has skills, knowledge and extensive executive management experience in management functions in listed and large companies. The top management positions he held contribute very positively to his performance as Managing Director, particularly in the context of the company's future planning.

b) International Area

Almost all of the members of the Board of Directors have extensive experience in the international field, having held management positions in international companies or in Portuguese companies with international expansion. This experience was decisive for the acquisition of a cultural background, a transversal element to all of them. As can be seen from their respective curricula, the directors Dr. Luis Palha da Silva, Dr. Rafaela Andrade Reis Figueira are part of this field. Also at the international level, in the area of Law and in the top academic area, the administrator, Dr. Diogo Filipe Gil Castanheira Pereira stands out

c) Finance and Risk Area

The members of the Board of Directors developed their training and/or professional career in consulting activities or in management functions that allowed them to acquire solid skills in the financial, investment and risk management areas.

d) Legal and Regulation

In this context, the knowledge of the member of the Board of Directors, Dr. Diogo Filipe Gil Castanheira Pereira, stands out, due to his training in Law and extensive professional experience in the various legal branches, being the holder of a vast curriculum linked to the area of Law and author of several publications in this specialty.

e) Corporate Governance, Social Responsibility and Ethics

The skills in this area of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Managing Director, Dr. Luis Palha da Silva, stand out, who has several years of professional experience in executive and non-executive positions in companies with strong corporate governance, social responsibility and ethics components, such as Jerónimo Martins and Galp Energia. He also currently serves on the Supervisory Board of EDP. He was also president of the AEM (Association of Issuers).

1.2. Independence and Integrity

The members of the Board of Directors and CF meet the necessary conditions to exercise their duties and fulfill their duties of diligent action and in the interest of the Company, with impartiality and impartiality, since rules on conflicts of interest remain in force at PHAROL, in particular:

(a) within the scope of the resolutions of the Board of Directors (with the directors in conflict being prevented from participating and voting);

(b) with respect to transactions with related parties, which are subject to principles and procedures approved by the Board of Directors and the CF aimed at promoting the pursuit of the company's interest.

The Board of Directors and CF have demonstrated the ability to maintain compliance with legal duties and conduct in relation to the activity they have been developing and have the conditions to exercise functions in the interest of the Company and in accordance with

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


standards of loyalty and integrity.

It is PHAROL's practice to have in its management list elements indicated by shareholders with qualified holdings and with a long-term investment perspective for the closer monitoring of the Company's management.

As for the strategic definition and assessment of the risks inherent to the company, the supervisory functions of non-executive and independent directors are guaranteed.

The members of the LP declare that they comply with the independence requirements defined by law (according to the national criteria provided for in Article 414 of the Companies Code and on the basis of the information provided by them).

1.3. Availability

The members of the Board of Directors and CF have shown full availability for the committed performance of their duties, closely monitoring the company's activity either through meetings or through regular reports by the Managing Director.

2. Level of Diversity

2.1. Gender Diversity

PHAROL fully complies with Law No. 62/2017, as well as article 3 of Normative Order No. 18/2019 of June 21, promoting gender diversity in all its governing bodies which, in turn, frame and guarantee all employees an open and transparent culture where there is no place for any inequality in terms of gender, nationality, ethnicity, origin, social position or age.

2.2. Renewal and retention of knowledge and seniority

The curricula referred to in this document show a balance between, on the one hand, renewal/rotation and, on the other hand, retention of knowledge given the permanence of the functions in the Board of Directors and CF since 2024, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors (who simultaneously performs the functions of Managing Director of the Company), as well as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

The composition of the CA and CF present diversification in terms of age, allowing an adjusted balance between the need for extensive experience suitable for the performance of the required functions and the necessary openness to new challenges.

Conclusions

Following a more detailed deepening of the curricula presented by the members of the Board of Directors and members of the Supervisory Board, bodies elected by PHAROL's shareholders in 2024, it is concluded that, in addition to the components of diversity and individual characteristics (such as seniority, cultural background and gender), they have skills, knowledge, skills and experience that are decisive for that, as a whole, meet the necessary conditions to pursue the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

ANNEX II

Statement on the remuneration policy of the members of the management and supervisory bodies

Approved at the General Meeting on March 31, 2023 and remained in force in 2025

"Pursuant to the Securities Code and in particular in the provisions of articles 26 - A, 26 - B and 26 - C, the Remuneration Committee of Pharol SGPS, S.A (hereinafter the Company), hereby presents to the General Meeting the remuneration policy of the management and supervisory bodies.

The preparation of the remuneration policy is the responsibility of this Remuneration Committee, composed of three members, all of whom are independent from the administration.

The remuneration policy presented below is, in essence, the one already presented in the previous year, and there has been no significant substantive change in the Policy. This took into account the very specific characteristics of the Company, whose activity is essentially focused on the management of a financial participation (in the Brazilian company OI S.A.) and on the recovery of a set of claims on the company, in bankruptcy proceedings, Rio Forte. In this context, the Firm also has a very small staff (7 full-time employees).

Thus, several of the relevant dimensions to be considered in the remuneration policy introduced by Law No. 50/2020 and consolidated in the Securities Code, in particular how the areas of sustainability, social responsibility and how the conditions of employment and remuneration of workers were taken into account in the policy have, in this Firm, a very limited scope of application.

  1. Remuneration Policy for Non-Executive Directors and Members of the Fiscal Council:

The remuneration of the non-executive members of the Board of Directors consists of a fixed annual remuneration of 35,000 euros (divided into 14 times a year), without attendance tickets. There is no place for the attribution of any benefit of a non-pecuniary nature. This remuneration is identical to that practiced in the previous mandate.

The chairman of the Supervisory Board receives an annual remuneration of 49,000 euros and the members of 31,500 euros.

These remuneration values for non-executive Directors and members of the Supervisory Board are identical to those practiced in the previous term of office and aim to ensure adequate compensation in view of the responsibilities of the functions performed and the characteristics of the Company.

No form of variable remuneration is foreseen for the non-executive members of the management body and the supervisory body.

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025

2. Executive Directors Compensation Policy

The remuneration of Executive Directors, which has been embodied since 27 March 2017 in the remuneration of the Managing Director, comprises a fixed component and a variable component.

a. Fixed remuneration

The fixed annual remuneration (RFA) amounts to 294,000 euros and remains the same as in the previous mandate. It took into account (i) the fact that the executive management is concentrated in a single person (Chief Executive Officer), (ii) that the Chief Executive Officer accumulates the functions of chairman of the company's board of directors and (iii) reflects the conditions practiced in the market for functions of a similar nature in order to foster adequate talent retention.

The only non-pecuniary benefits of the Managing Director are the use of a vehicle (including fuel and tolls) and life insurance in line with normal market practices.

b. Variable Compensation

Variable compensation is associated with the performance of the Chief Executive Officer. The attribution of variable remuneration takes into account the different degrees of achievement in relation to the specific objectives previously approved, associated with objective, simple, transparent and measurable performance indicators.

As stated in the preamble, the nature of the Company's activity is based on the management of a very minority shareholding in the Brazilian company OI and the recovery of the claim on the company Rio Forte. In this context, its corporate dimension is also very limited, with a staff of only 7 people and with a strong use of specialized consultants, namely in terms of legal services. These characteristics greatly limit the implementation of a variable compensation model that incorporates a multi-stakeholder vision. Shareholder value creation is the benchmarking element that can be used consistently over time.

In order to achieve a longer-term vision of value creation, variable remuneration is divided into two tranches, the annual variable remuneration (RVA) and the multi-annual variable remuneration (RVP), under the terms defined below.

The RVA is calculated based on the variation of the PHAROL Total Shareholder Return (TSR) indicator versus the PSI 20 TSR, both calculated based on the average value of the quotations in December of the year of evaluation and December of the previous year:

$$
TSR\ VARIATION = \frac{(1 + TSR\ PHAROL)}{(1 + TSR\ PSI - 20)} - 1 \times 100
$$

The value of the RVA is obtained, by linear interpolation, from the following table:

TSR VARIATION % RFA

80


Less than – 5 % 0
From – 5% to 0% 15%
Greater than 0% to 5% 30%
Greater than 5% up to 10% 45%
Greater than 10 % 60%

The RVA will be null if the PHAROL TSR in the period is negative by more than 20%.

The RVP is calculated in the same way as the RVA but based on the average value of the closing prices for the month of December 2020 and the month of December 2023.

The PVR value is obtained by linear interpolation from the following table:

TSR VARIATION % RFA MANAGING DIRECTOR
Up to 0% 0
Greater than 0% to 5% 35%
Greater than 5% up to 10% 70%
Greater than 10% up to 15% 105%
Greater than 15% 140%

PVR will not be applied if the PHAROL RRT in the period is negative by more than 10%.

The RVA of each year will be paid 50% in cash in the month following the approval of the accounts by the Company's General Meeting. The remaining 50% will be deferred for three years and its payment will be subject to verification of the Company's positive performance in the period considered, to be carried out by the Remuneration Committee, which will take into account the financial sustainability and economic situation of the Company, and may take into account exceptional factors that are not under the control of management and that may affect the Company's performance.

The RVP will be paid 50% in cash in the month following the approval of the 2023 accounts by the Company's General Meeting. The remaining 50% will be deferred for three years and its payment will be subject to verification of the Company's positive performance in the period considered, in the manner previously referred to for RVA.

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


These remuneration principles and the indicator for determining the variable component of remuneration contribute to the company's business strategy, its long-term interests and its sustainability, insofar as:

a) The introduction of a multi-year component in the variable remuneration determination model reinforces the long-term view of the Company's performance

b) A ceiling of 107% was defined for the weight of variable compensation in total compensation, thus creating a reasonable balance between the incentive to performance and the non-assumption of excessive risks;

c) The retention of 50% of both RVA and RVP and only paid if there is a positive performance of the company in the following 3 years introduces an appropriate focus on sustainability and continuity in the management of the Company;

d) Finally, the criterion defined for determining variable remuneration requires an adequate articulation with the nature of the activity and characteristics of the company, focusing on profitability and the creation of sustained value.

In another context, the inclusion of the employment and remuneration conditions of the company's employees in the remuneration policy was taken into account (and, it should be remembered, the Firm has a staff of 7 people), by defining that both remuneration systems are based on the same principle set out in this policy, the enhancement of market conditions for the functions performed and the enhancement of the acquisition and retention of talent.

3. Assigning Actions and Options

There is no plan for the allocation of shares or options.

4. Supplementary pension or early retirement schemes

There is no system in place for the granting of a supplementary pension or early retirement to any member of the administrative and supervisory bodies.

5. Termination of the Managing Director's duties

In the event that the Managing Director ceases to hold office, for any reason other than dismissal for just cause, the payment of the amounts of variable remuneration determined and deferred may only be made at the time of termination of the management relationship if, until that date, there are sufficient and sustained indications that the Company's performance will be foreseeably positive in the remaining period in such terms that: in all likelihood, they would allow the payment of that deferred component.

6. Variable compensation reversal clause ("clawback")

The reversal by means of the retention and/or return of variable remuneration whose payment already constitutes an acquired right may be required, by resolution of the Remuneration Committee, if (i) there is a judicial conviction of a Director for unlawful action that determines adverse changes in the company's equity situation; (ii) there is serious or fraudulent non-

Consolidated Accounts Report | 2025


compliance with the code of conduct or internal regulations with significant impact, or situations that justify just cause for dismissal; (iii) and/or false statements and/or materially relevant errors and omissions in the financial statements to which the manager's conduct has contributed decisively.

  1. Signing of contracts and agreements between the Company and members of the management and supervisory bodies

There are not and have never been established or approved by this Committee any agreements regarding payments related to the dismissal or termination of functions of members of management and supervisory bodies, either for cases of dismissal without just cause, or for any form of termination of functions.

In addition, this Commission has defined, in this context, two fundamental principles:

i) The Directors shall not enter into contracts, either with the Company or with third parties, which have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration set for them by the Company;

ii) In the event of dismissal or termination by agreement of the management relationship, when proven to be due to its inadequate performance, no compensation will be paid to the directors.

  1. Remuneration of the general meeting board

The Chairman of the Board receives the amount of 4,000 euros per session and the Secretary of 2,000 euros, values already in force in the previous term.

  1. Statutory Auditor's remuneration policy

The Company's Statutory Auditor is remunerated in accordance with the normal remuneration practices and conditions for similar services, following the conclusion of a service agreement with the company, upon proposal of the Supervisory Board.

  1. Use of consultants

The board of directors provided the remuneration committee with all the conditions so that it could freely contract externally the consultancy services necessary for the exercise of its functions. As in previous years, in 2022 the commission understood that there is no need to use such services, but that, if necessary, it will ensure that they are provided independently and that the respective providers are never hired to provide any other services to the company itself or to others that are in a control or group relationship with it without express authorization from the commission.

ANNEX III

Code of Ethics and Conduct

The theme of Sustainability

As already mentioned in this Report, the small size of the Firm and the small number of employees determine a close relationship between them and their management bodies. There is a collective awareness that, for this theme, it is necessary to make a commitment to sustainable development with the implementation of practices and policies that reflect environmental, social and governance awareness.

The Firm's management bodies have promoted the responsible use of natural resources and the preservation of the environment, emphasizing eco-efficient management that minimizes the environmental impacts arising from the company's activity and each employee in their daily work. Facing sustainability as part of the Company's strategy, duly supported by its shareholders, is a responsibility assumed by the management of PHAROL, SPS S.A., and by all its employees. The Company's priority is to satisfy the interests of its stakeholders, adopting open and transparent relationship policies, namely with its Shareholders, Suppliers and Employees.

It is important to note that the decision-making processes take into account the impact of climate change, although they do not assume, due to the nature and size of the company, a material relevance. In the social sphere, the company values fair working conditions, equal opportunities and close relationships with employees and the community. On an economic level, it adopts responsible and ethical management, oriented towards continuity and long-term sustainability.

Within the scope of the principles of Equality and Diversity and as already mentioned in this Report, the Firm is always very aware of the strict compliance with its Equality Plan, which can be consulted on its website in www.pharol.pt.

Also, with regard to the promotion of culture and knowledge, PHAROL SGPS S.A. has continued to maintain a policy of support and an active presence in relevant institutions of the community in general, such as the Casa da Música Foundation and the Serralves Foundation.

PHAROL's Code of Ethics and Conduct, approved in 2021, represents the set of principles and rules that govern the internal and external relations of PHAROL, SGPS S.A. com its stakeholders and was created with the fundamental objective of sharing these principles and rules as well as promoting and encouraging their adoption.

This Code must be interpreted together with the other regulatory instruments of the policies assumed by PHAROL, as well as with the legislation and/or regulation that is, at any time, applicable.

With this Code of Ethics and Conduct, PHAROL, SGPS S.A. has the following fundamental objectives:

  • Establish and consolidate relationships of trust between all stakeholders of the Society;
  • Clarify, with employees, the rules of conduct that they must scrupulously observe, both in their reciprocal relations and in the relationships that, on behalf of the Company, they establish with shareholders, suppliers, competing companies, regulatory or supervisory authorities, and other interested parties.

The general rules of conduct set out in this Code apply to the employees of PHAROL, SGPS S.A., being understood as such the members of the corporate bodies and other directors, directors, staff and other workers and collaborators in another capacity, and their

implementation is permanently monitored by the company's management bodies.
