Subject: Updated information regarding the cooperation with Corey Power _Singapore_ PTE. LTD and the Issuer's future development directions. The Management Board of Corey Europe, a joint-stock company with its registered office in Warsaw _hereinafter referred to as the "Issuer", "Company"_, in reference to Current Reports ESPI No. 8/2024 of February 27, 2025, and ESPI No. 2/2025 of March 27, 2025, regarding the investment agreement signed by the Issuer and the acquisition of a strategic investor - Corey Power _Singapore_ PTE. LTD, with its registered office at 60 Paya Lebar Road, #12-03, Paya Lebar Square, Singapore, 409051 _hereinafter "Investor"_, ESPI Current Report No. 7/2025 dated 13 May 2025 concerning, among other things, the resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Issuer regarding the issue of series C ordinary bearer shares in private subscription, as well as ESPI Current Report No. 12/2025 dated 3 November 2025, which is an update of information obtained from Corey Power _Singapore_ PTE. LTD, the Management Board hereby announces that it has received information from a shareholder of the Company that the Corey group _to which the Investor's company belongs_ has chosen Bulgaria as its central European service and sales center. A notice regarding this matter was published on the website https://www.szcorey.com/COREY-POWER-Officially-Establishes-Bulgarian-Subsidiary-id47362965.html
on March 26, 2026, and was titled "COREY POWER Officially Establishes Bulgarian Subsidiary." The Issuer had not previously received any information in this regard, and subsequent verification also revealed that information about the Issuer had been removed from the Investor's website. Therefore, the Issuer sent inquiries to representatives of Corey Power _Singapore_ PTE. LTD, who are also members of the Issuer's Supervisory Board, requesting an explanation of the situation. On March 31, 2026, the Issuer received a response from Corey Power _Singapore_ PTE. LTD _the "Investor"_ regarding the registration of the Investor's company in Bulgaria. At the same time, the Investor announced that this entity was established in response to specific local requirements to provide local technical support to clients in the Balkans, and its establishment was not associated with Chinese capital. Further explanations provided to the Investor's Management Board also included the statement that due to the lack of new orders on the Polish market _since the Poznań Expo 2025 trade fair_, there is no justification for further capital expansion, including within the Issuer. Consequently, the Investor cannot continue with mergers and acquisitions as previously planned. At the same time, Mr. Jinming Qian and Ms. Juan Fan indicated that they will soon formally resign from their positions as members of the Supervisory Board of COREY EUROPE S.A. On April 2, 2026, the Investor published a statement on its website regarding the progress of the ODI process and its cooperation with the Issuer over the past year: https://www.szcorey.com/Announcement-on-Strategic-Investment-Adjustment-And-European-Market-Operations-id43005855.html. Taking into account the information received and the current market situation, including the intense competition in the energy storage systems segment _in particular, the large number of suppliers from China offering standardized products amidst strong price pressure_, as well as the observed market preference for non-Chinese solutions, the Issuer's Management Board has taken steps to redefine the business model and diversify its operations. A proposal to change the Issuer's name will be presented for approval at the next general meeting of shareholders. The new strategy assumes the development of an integrated ecosystem of products and services, in which energy storage systems are just one element. Solutions for measuring, validating, reducing, and monetizing environmental impact will be crucial, including energy, heat, and water management. The Issuer's Management Board also announces that due to the circumstances, including in particular the provision of incomplete or potentially misleading information regarding investment intentions and business relationships, the Issuer is evaluating the possibility of taking appropriate legal action against Corey Power _Singapore_ PTE. LTD. As of the date of publication of this report, decisions in this regard have not yet been made. The Issuer will provide information on further decisions and progress in implementing the new strategy in subsequent current reports.
