The Management Board of MBF Group S.A., with its registered office in Warsaw _the "Issuer", the "Company"_, with reference to Current Report No. 5/2026 dated 16 February 2026 and Current Report No. 8/2026 dated 27 February 2026, hereby announces that on 30 August 2026 it decided to terminate the Issuer's participation in the project concerning the execution of a formal ICPO _Irrevocable Corporate Purchase Order_ for the supply of Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel 10 ppm _EN590_. The decision was taken in light of the current geopolitical conditions affecting the international trade in fuels, product availability, logistics and the ability to ensure stable conditions for the execution of the transaction. The partner involved in the project's implementation structure is currently unable to ensure the fulfilment of the order on terms consistent with its original assumptions. At the same time, continuing with the project despite the lack of confirmed feasibility, given the significant volatility in fuel prices, costs and logistical conditions, is not - in the Management Board's view - economically justifiable. Continuing to maintain readiness to fulfil the contract would increase commercial, organisational and reputational risks, without sufficient certainty that the project could be successfully completed. Consequently, the Management Board has decided to withdraw the Issuer entirely from further participation in the execution of the ICPO contract in question and from performing organisational, coordination and intermediary functions within the framework of that project. This decision relates solely to the project described in Current Report No. 8/2026 and does not imply that the Company is relinquishing the opportunity to participate in other projects concerning the international trade in fuels and petroleum products. The termination of the Issuer's participation in the project in question does not give rise to any obligation on the part of the Company to pay contractual penalties, damages or other financial liabilities. Furthermore, the potential financial result indicated in Current Report No. 8/2026 will not be realised in relation to this contract; had the contract been successfully concluded and the first delivery carried out, this result could have amounted to approximately 2 per cent of the transaction value. The Issuer emphasises that the decision concerning the order in question does not constitute a termination or cancellation of the framework agreement concluded with Gas Fusion Trading Refined Oil Products Abroad Co. L.L.C., based in Dubai. The Company continues to cooperate with this entity on the basis of existing arrangements and does not rule out participation in future brokerage projects in the international trade in fuels, provided that geopolitical, commercial, regulatory and logistical conditions allow for their safe and economically viable implementation. The Management Board has classified the above information as confidential in view of the definitive termination of the Issuer's participation in the project involving the declared volume of the first delivery amounting to 50,000 MT, the impossibility of achieving the potential financial result indicated in Current Report No. 8/2026, and the need to provide investors with full and up-to-date information on the current status of the previously reported project. Accordingly, the Issuer is making this information public in accordance with Article 17_1_ of the MAR Regulation.
