The Management Board of MBF Group S.A., with its registered office in
Warsaw _"the Issuer", "the Company"_ hereby announces that on 17 June
2026 it received notification of the formal submission, via the
Company's authorised representative in Bangladesh, of complete tender
documentation in two tender procedures conducted by the Directorate
General of Defence Purchases _"DGDP"_ - the Directorate General of
Defence Procurement of the Ministry of Defence of the People's Republic
of Bangladesh. The DGDP is the body responsible for conducting
procurement procedures for the needs of the Bangladesh Armed Forces and
selected programmes carried out for international missions.
The Issuer explains that, within the submitted documentation, the Issuer
acts as the prime contractor, the principal responsible for the bid, the
consortium leader and the lead system integrator. The Company has
submitted separate OEM Status, Prime Contractor and Lead System
Integrator Declarations, indicating that the solution offered is not a
ready-made product from a single external OEM manufacturer, but an
integrated system developed, configured and supplied under the
management and supervision of MBF Group S.A.
The subject of both bids is the system offered under the name 'MBF SHARK
Integrated Counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle _C-UAV_ System - Soft Kill'.
The system comprises, in particular, the following components: RF
detection, protocol analysis, directional signal source detection, an
EO/IR observation system, 3D radar, jamming systems, GNSS spoofing,
command and control software, power supply, training, maintenance tools,
consumables and after-sales support.
The Issuer's authorised local representative in both tenders is The Blue
Falcon, based in Dhaka, with DGDP supplier registration number 6158,
represented by Brig-Gen A.T.M. Anisuzzaman Bir Protik _retired_, the
company's founder and managing director. The Issuer has issued an
authorisation certificate to The Blue Falcon, authorising that entity to
represent MBF Group S.A. before the Directorate General of Defence
Procurement of Bangladesh _DGDP_, to conduct tender correspondence, to
submit documents and to participate in activities related to procurement
and tender procedures.
The first tender, designated DGDP Tender No. 221.583.25, concerns the
supply of five sets of the Cat-2 Integrated Counter Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle System _C-UAV System - Soft Kill_, i.e. an integrated system for
countering Category 2 unmanned aerial vehicles in the soft-kill variant,
intended for the Bangladesh Army. The second tender, designated DGDP
Tender No. 221.584.25, concerns a similar supply of five sets intended
for United Nations missions, to be procured under procurement procedures
conducted by the Bangladeshi side.
The value of each bid has been set by the Company at USD 27,091,500
_twenty-seven million ninety-one thousand five hundred US dollars_ as
the Total LC Value, which includes the value of the systems,
accessories, spare parts, tools and maintenance materials, freight,
overseas and local training, installation, commissioning, testing and a
contingency reserve. The total value of both bids submitted amounts to
USD 54,183,000 _fifty-four million one hundred and eighty-three thousand
US dollars_.
At the same time, the Issuer's Management Board notes that the mere
submission of bids does not imply the selection of the Company's bid,
the conclusion of a contract or the creation of a claim on the part of
the Company for the award of the contract. The tender procedures are
subject to further formal, technical and financial evaluation conducted
by the relevant contracting authorities. The Issuer will provide
information on subsequent significant stages, in particular regarding
the admission of a bid for further evaluation, the selection of a bid,
the commencement of negotiations or the signing of a contract, in
accordance with applicable law.
Irrespective of The Blue Falcon's participation in the tender procedures
in question, the Issuer is in discussions with that entity regarding the
conclusion of a long-term strategic cooperation agreement covering the
Issuer's commercial representation in the Bangladeshi market, the
identification and development of projects in the defence and security
sectors, dual-use technologies, and the supply of military equipment,
individual soldier's gear, uniforms, unmanned systems and other military
and military-related products. As at the date of publication of this
report, the discussions remain ongoing, and no binding agreement in this
regard has yet been concluded.
The Management Board of MBF Group S.A. has deemed the above information
to be material in view of the value of the bids submitted, the strategic
nature of the C-UAV systems on offer, the Issuer's role as consortium
leader and system integrator, and the potential for the selection of any
of the bids to have a significant impact on the Company's future
economic, financial and developmental situation.
