The Management Board of MBF Group S.A. with its registered office in
Warsaw _the "Issuer," 'Company'_ hereby announces that on February 20,
2026, the Issuer entered into a Reservation _ Right of First Refusal
_ROFR_ agreement with Shark Aviation Danismanlik Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd.
Sti. with its registered office in Konya, Republic of Turkey _"Shark
Aviation," "Partner"_ a Reservation _ Right of First Refusal _ROFR_
agreement concerning the Iryda Plus system _"Agreement"_.
The conclusion of the Agreement constitutes the next stage in the
cooperation between the Parties, which began with the signing of a
non-disclosure agreement _NCNDA_ on February 17, 2026, followed by a
representation and authorization agreement in the form of non-exclusive
dealer cooperation, as announced by the Issuer in current report No.
6/2026 of February 18, 2026. The ROFR Agreement was concluded as a
complementary instrument to the existing cooperation framework, aimed at
structurally preparing the potential commercialization of the Iryda Plus
system on the Turkish market and in selected regions of the Middle East.
Under the Agreement, the Issuer granted the Partner a reservation and a
right of first refusal with respect to three _3_ Iryda Plus Defensive
UAV Systems, potentially intended for further resale, testing,
demonstration, pilot programs, and initial implementations in
institutional, infrastructure, security, and defense applications. The
territorial scope covers the Republic of Turkey, the Turkish Republic of
Northern Cyprus, and selected regions of the Middle East, with the
possibility of further expansion based on separate agreements between
the Parties.
The Company's Management Board further explains that the ROFR mechanism
gives the Partner priority in negotiations if the Issuer decides to
commercially distribute the reserved units in the indicated territory,
with any transactions requiring the conclusion of separate, binding
agreements specifying detailed commercial, technical, and regulatory
terms and conditions.
In the opinion of the Management Board, the adopted ROFR structure is a
solution that enables the phased and controlled development of the IRYDA
Plus project's presence on the foreign market, while limiting
operational and capital risks. The reservation model allows for the
verification of market interest and the development of institutional
relationships without the need for immediate investment commitments on
the part of the Issuer. From a corporate perspective, the structure is
an important element of the Issuer's discussions with entities
interested in potential financial participation in the development of
the IRYDA Plus project _it confirms market validation and lays the
groundwork for future commercialization while maintaining the Issuer's
control over the entire process_.
The Issuer points out that Turkey is an important market in the field of
unmanned technologies and dual-use systems, and cooperation with a local
technology partner may in the future be part of a broader strategy for
the Company's presence in the region. At the same time, the Management
Board emphasizes that as of the date of publication of this report, the
Agreement does not generate any revenue or financial obligations on the
part of the Issuer.
The Issuer's Management Board considered the information on the
conclusion of the Agreement to be confidential within the meaning of
Article 17_1_ of the MAR Regulation, due to its potential significance
for the further development of the Company's operations in the advanced
unmanned systems segment and its possible impact on the Issuer's future
economic situation.
