Title: Review of strategic options by indirect majority shareholder.
The management board of Globe Trade Centre S.A. (the "Company") hereby announces that it has
received a notification dated 13 August 2026 from Optima Befektetési Zrt., with its registered head office
in Budapest, Hungary ("Optima"), that Optima has decided to initiate a review of its strategic options
with respect to its investment in the Company. Optima is the Company's indirect majority shareholder,
holding a 62.61% stake through GTC Dutch Holdings B.V. and GTC Holding Zrt.
According to the notification, the options under review include, in particular, a sale of Optima's indirect
stake to a strategic or financial investor, or an alternative transaction structure, such as a strategic capital
increase and/or a joint public tender offer, with Optima acting in concert with such investor.
The review is at an early stage. As at the date of this announcement, no decisions have been made
regarding the implementation of any specific strategic option, and there can be no assurance that any
transaction will result from the review or as to the terms or timing of any such transaction.
According to the notification, the review is not intended to interfere with the Company's ongoing
operations or with the implementation of its existing strategy.
The notification further states that the review is being conducted by Optima at shareholder level. Any
participation of the Company in a transaction would require a separate analysis and would be subject
to obtaining all required corporate approvals and to making any disclosures required under applicable
law.
