Legal Advisors Abdulaziz Alajlan & Partners in association with Baker & McKenzie Limited (Legal Advisor) Transaction Execution Date 2021-07-14 Corresponding to 1442-12-04 Description of the Business of the Asset forming the Subject Matter of the Transaction RSGT is engaged in the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of container terminals, handling and unloading services and shipping, navigation and marine support services necessary to provide ships with water, energy, sewage treatment and the excavation and backfill, and investment in these activities. Headquartered in Jeddah, RSGT is the largest container port operator in Saudi Arabia. Asset Book Value Not applicable Financial Statements for the Last Three Years of the Asset forming the Subject Matter of the Transaction Not applicable Transaction reasons The Transaction will benefit and enhance RSGT’s value proposition, a key asset within SISCO’s portfolio of subsidiaries, by bringing on board world-class strategic investors (PIF and CSPL) who will help drive the future growth of the business. The Transaction is in line with SISCO’s long-standing strategy of strengthening and optimizing its portfolio with the ultimate objective of providing long-term value to shareholders. The Transaction also demonstrates SISCO’s track record for developing its assets, and its ability to create value for shareholders. Expected Impact of the Transaction on the Company and Its Operations The impact from the Transaction, which will be calculated subject to the finalisation of Q2 2021 financial results and the final payment of costs associated with the Transaction, will be reflected in SISCO’s Q3 2021 financial statements. In addition, the impact of LogiPoint’s divestment of 4% direct equity stake in RSGT will also be reflected in SISCO’s Q3 2021 financial statements subject to the same conditions.

PIF and CSPL now each own a 20% equity stake in RSGT with the remaining 60% shares being held by SISCO’s subsidiary Red Sea Ports Development Company Limited (RSPD) (SISCO owns 53% of RSPD).

SISCO’s effective shareholding has reduced from 60.6% to 36.36%. From an accounting perspective, SISCO will continue to consolidate RSGT through its subsidiary RSPD.

The impact of the reduction in effective shareholding will also be reflected in Q3 2021 financial statements.

A further announcement quantifying the impact of the above adjustments will be made following the release of Q2 2021 financial statements. A full disclosure of the impact on Q3 2021 financial statements will also be included in the notes to the Q2 2021 financial statements. Details of Using The Proceeds of the Asset Sale The application of the net proceeds, which is currently under review, is expected to be announced by the end of Q3 2021.
