NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO AUSTRALIA, CANADA, HONG KONG, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND OR SOUTH AFRICA OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THIS TENDER OFFER WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Resilience Investment Holdings Ltd (“Offeror”) has, on February 5, 2026, commenced a voluntary recommended public cash tender offer for all the issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares” or, individually, a “Share”), all the issued fully paid compulsory convertible debentures (the “CCDs”), all the warrants given in connection with the issue of CCDs (the “Warrants”), and all the issued and outstanding options (the “Options,” and together with the CCDs and Warrants, the “Equity Securities”) in Tecnotree Corporation (“Tecnotree” or the “Company”) that are not held by Tecnotree or any of its subsidiaries (the “Tender Offer”). The offer period for the Tender Offer commenced on February 5, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. (Finnish time) and its extended expiry time is June 3, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. (Finnish time).
As set out in the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, one of the conditions to completion of the Tender Offer is the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, permits, clearances and consents under applicable competition laws or other regulatory laws. The Offeror announces that it has received regulatory approval for the Tender Offer from the Kuwaiti competition authority, but the process for obtaining regulatory approval from the Nigerian competition authority is still ongoing and it is not expected to be completed within the current extended offer period, so the Offeror has decided to further extend the offer period for the Tender Offer to expire on June 26, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. (Finnish time), unless the offer period is extended further, or any extended offer period is discontinued in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and applicable laws and regulations.
The Offeror will announce further updates in respect of the regulatory approvals as soon as possible. As previously estimated and based on currently available information, the Offeror expects to obtain the pending regulatory approval and to complete the Tender Offer during the second quarter of 2026.
The Finnish language tender offer document concerning the Tender Offer, including more detailed instructions for accepting the Tender Offer, is available on the internet at www.tecnotree.julkinen-ostotarjous.fi. The English language translation of the Finnish language tender offer document is available on the internet at www.tecnotree.public-offer.fi. Those shareholders and holders of Equity Securities of Tecnotree who have not received instructions or acceptance form, should primarily contact their account operator or asset manager, and secondarily Evli Plc by e-mail to operations@evli.com.
Shareholders and holders of the Equity Securities who have already tendered the Shares and Equity Securities they hold in Tecnotree in the Tender Offer do not have to retender their Shares or Equity Securities or take any other action as a result of the extension of the offer period.

Information for Shareholders and Holders of Equity Securities of Tecnotree in the United States
The Tender Offer will be made for the issued and outstanding Shares and Equity Securities in Tecnotree, which is domiciled in Finland, and is subject to Finnish disclosure and procedural requirements. The Tender Offer is made in the United States in compliance with Section 14(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation 14E (in each case, subject to any exemptions or relief therefrom, if applicable) and otherwise in accordance with the disclosure and procedural requirements of Finnish law, including with respect to the Tender Offer timetable, settlement procedures, withdrawal, waiver of conditions and timing of payments, which are different from those of the United States. Shareholders in the United States are advised that neither the Shares nor the Equity Securities are listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that Tecnotree is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder.
The Tender Offer is made to Tecnotree’s shareholders resident in the United States on the same terms and conditions as those made to all other shareholders of Tecnotree to whom an offer is made. Any information documents, including this release, are being disseminated to U.S. shareholders on a basis comparable to the method that such documents are provided to Tecnotree’s other shareholders.
To the extent permissible under applicable law or regulations, the Offeror and its affiliates or its brokers and its broker’s affiliates (acting as agents for the Offeror or its affiliates, as applicable) may from time to time after the date of this release and during the pendency of the Tender Offer, and other than pursuant to the Tender Offer and combination, directly or indirectly, purchase or arrange to purchase, the Shares, the Equity Securities or any securities that are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for such Shares or Equity Securities. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices. To the extent information about such purchases or arrangements to purchase is made public in Finland, such information will be disclosed by means of a stock exchange or press release or other means reasonably calculated to inform U.S. shareholders of Tecnotree of such information. In addition, the financial advisers to the Offeror may also engage in ordinary course trading activities in securities of Tecnotree, which may include purchases or arrangements to purchase such securities. To the extent required in Finland, any information about such purchases will be made public in Finland in the manner required by Finnish law.
Neither the SEC nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Tender Offer, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Tender Offer, or passed any comment upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of this release. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
The receipt of cash pursuant to the Tender Offer by a U.S. holder of Shares or Equity Securities may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local, as well as foreign and other, tax laws. Each holder of Shares and/or Equity Securities is urged to consult its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Tender Offer.
It may be difficult for Tecnotree’s shareholders to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws since the Offeror and Tecnotree are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions and some or all of their respective officers and directors may be residents of non-U.S. jurisdictions. Tecnotree’s shareholders may not be able to sue the Offeror or Tecnotree or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may be difficult to compel the Offeror and Tecnotree and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
