The transition to OIO Group reflects the Company’s evolving strategic direction as it expands beyond its existing operations to support and grow distinctive operating businesses with long-term growth potential.

The Company believes that public markets can provide a long-term platform to support and scale distinctive operating businesses with strong heritage and global potential.

As previously announced, the Company and De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited are currently progressing through the steps of a proposed business combination, which forms part of the Company’s broader strategic direction. The proposed transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and approvals, and there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed.

Through this evolving strategy, the Company seeks to build and steward a portfolio of distinctive businesses and brands with enduring heritage and long-term growth potential.

The Company will continue to update shareholders and the market as material developments occur.

The Company’s ordinary shares and warrants will continue to trade without interruption on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol “OIO” and “OIOWW,” respectively.
