The Management Board of MBF Group S.A. with its registered office in
Warsaw _the 'Issuer'_ hereby announces that on 4 March 2026, the Issuer
entered into a framework cooperation agreement in the form of a
Framework Letter of Intent and Strategic Cooperation Agreement _the
"Agreement"_ with ARKA Aerospace Private Limited with its registered
office in Hyderabad _Republic of India_ _the 'Partner'_. The document
was signed during the Drone World Expo 2026 industry event in Warsaw.
The subject of the Agreement is to define the principles of potential
cooperation in the areas of unmanned aerial vehicle _UAV_ technology,
counter-unmanned aerial vehicle _C-UAS_ systems, electronic jamming
resistance systems and selected dual-use solutions. The Agreement is of
a framework and intent nature. The implementation of operational,
technological or commercial projects will require the conclusion of
separate annexes or executive agreements specifying the detailed terms
and conditions of cooperation.
Arka Aerospace Private Limited is a technology company focusing on
advanced aviation technologies and unmanned aerial vehicles. The
company's offering includes solutions covering innovative UAV designs,
interference-resistant communication modules, counter-unmanned aerial
systems _C-UAS_ and smart munitions components. ARKA is a technology
spin-off of the research and development ecosystem supported by the
Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at IIIT Hyderabad.
In accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, the cooperation may
include, in particular, joint integration analyses of both parties'
technologies, exchange of research and development experience,
assessment of system interoperability, preparation of joint bids in
tender procedures, and development of selected dual-use products and
solutions. The parties envisage the possibility of expanding the scope
of cooperation by concluding further project and commercial annexes,
which will specify detailed technical conditions, division of
responsibilities, intellectual property rules, commercialisation model
and possible financial conditions. The agreement also allows for the
analysis of the possibility of creating joint operational structures or
capital ventures in the future, with the implementation of any project
being subject to separate business decisions and compliance with
regulatory requirements in the relevant jurisdictions.
The conclusion of the Agreement is in line with the Issuer's strategy of
developing international technological relations in the segment of
unmanned systems and solutions in the field of security and dual-use
technologies.
The Indian market, as one of the largest demographic markets in the
world and a country modernising its technological and defence
capabilities, is an area of potential long-term importance in the
context of industrial and integration cooperation. Further stages of
cooperation that could have significant operational or financial
implications will be subject to separate corporate decisions and
communicated in accordance with applicable law.
The Management Board considered the publication of this report to be
justified due to the international nature of the Agreement and its
connection with the Issuer's development strategy in the area of
unmanned technologies and security. Information about the establishment
of cooperation with a technology entity from the Indian market may be
important for investors when assessing the directions of the Issuer's
foreign expansion.
