Significant events
- “On 28 February 2026, hostilities commenced between the United States and Iran in the Middle East. The ongoing conflict has introduced heightened uncertainty in global financial markets and supply chains. While the company has no direct exposure to the region, Management is closely monitoring the indirect exposure and at this time considers there to be no material impact on the financial statements.”
