These events occurred after 31 December 2025 and do not provide evidence of conditions existing at the reporting date; accordingly, they are treated as non-adjusting subsequent events in line with IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period. No adjustments have been made to the consolidated financial statements, and based on management's assessment, there is no material impact on the Group's financial position or performance as at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.”
