SUBJECT: IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION OF AURA’S US$25 TRILLION AFRICAN INVESTMENT PROGRAMME AND WITHDRAWAL OF ALL AUTHORITY OF MR. KOUAKOU ADOU ANTOINE

Brazzaville / Phuket — 6 September 2026

Your Excellency, Mr. President,Honourable Minister,

Aura Solution Company Limited hereby formally notifies the Government of the Republic of Congo of a fundamental decision concerning the Company's previously announced investment programme in the Republic of Congo and across the African continent.

Following a comprehensive internal review of the Company's African strategy, leadership arrangements, operational circumstances, and the level of responsibility required to execute the previously announced programme, Aura Solution Company Limited has decided to cancel, with immediate effect, all previously announced African investment plans and commitments, including the proposed investment programme of up to US$25 trillion.

This decision is effective immediately and supersedes all previous announcements, representations, understandings, and proposed commitments relating to the programme, unless Aura Solution Company Limited subsequently issues a new written corporate decision expressly confirming otherwise.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Aura entered its African strategy with the intention of establishing a substantial and long-term presence in the Republic of Congo and other African markets. The programme contemplated significant investments across multiple sectors and was based upon the expectation that the Company's African leadership would maintain the highest level of professional dedication, availability, judgment, accountability, and strategic focus.

In connection with this strategy, Aura entrusted Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine with a significant leadership responsibility in relation to Aura's African activities.

The nature and scale of this responsibility were exceptional. A programme involving capital potentially reaching US$25 trillion requires continuous attention, strong leadership, disciplined execution, sound judgment, and an unwavering commitment to the interests of Aura Solution Company Limited.

Aura has subsequently determined that the circumstances surrounding Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine have materially changed.

In particular, Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine's newly married life has resulted in significant changes in his personal circumstances, priorities, and availability. Aura respects marriage, family, and the importance of personal responsibilities. However, the Company must also recognise when changes in personal circumstances materially affect the ability to maintain the level of professional focus and availability required for a responsibility of this extraordinary scale.

The Company has therefore concluded that the leadership circumstances upon which the African investment programme was originally based are no longer sufficiently reliable for Aura to continue committing capital on the scale previously announced.

LOSS OF CONFIDENCE

Aura previously raised its concerns and provided an opportunity for the situation to be addressed constructively.Following subsequent developments, Aura's concerns were not resolved to the Company's satisfaction. Instead, the circumstances reinforced the Company's assessment that the required level of confidence, professional focus, and accountability was no longer present.

Aura therefore considers it neither prudent nor responsible to continue the African investment programme under the existing leadership arrangement.The Company's decision is based upon its responsibility to protect its capital, shareholders, reputation, strategic interests, and long-term objectives.

An investment programme of US$25 trillion cannot be dependent upon uncertain leadership circumstances.

The Company must have complete confidence in the individuals responsible for representing it and managing relationships with governments, financial institutions, investors, strategic partners, and other stakeholders.

That confidence no longer exists.

SUSPENSION OF MR. KOUAKOU ADOU ANTOINE

Effective immediately, Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine is suspended from his position as President of Aura Congo.At the same time, Aura Solution Company Limited hereby withdraws, in its entirety, all authority previously granted to Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine to represent, act for, communicate on behalf of, negotiate for, or otherwise conduct business in the name of Aura Solution Company Limited or Aura Congo.

From the effective date of this notice, Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine has no authority whatsoever to represent Aura Solution Company Limited or Aura Congo in any manner.

This applies without limitation to any representation made before the President of the Republic of Congo, the Government of the Republic of Congo, the Ministry of Finance, any ministry, government department, public authority, regulatory authority, state-owned entity, bank, financial institution, company, investor, international organisation, strategic partner, or any other person or institution.

Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine is no longer authorised to present himself as a representative, officer, authorised agent, spokesperson, negotiator, decision-maker, or other authorised representative of Aura Solution Company Limited or Aura Congo.

NO AUTHORITY TO ACT OR CREATE COMMITMENTS FOR AURA

For the avoidance of any doubt, Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine has no authority to sign documents, enter into agreements, negotiate transactions, discuss or approve investments, negotiate acquisitions, make financial commitments, make capital commitments, issue instructions, appoint representatives, establish partnerships, communicate investment decisions, make promises or undertakings, or otherwise create or attempt to create any obligation on behalf of Aura Solution Company Limited or Aura Congo.

He is equally not authorised to communicate Aura's investment intentions, represent the Company's financial position, make statements regarding future acquisitions or investments, or provide assurances to any government authority, ministry, department, financial institution, investor, company, or third party.

His authority has been withdrawn completely and with immediate effect.

NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIONS OF MR. KOUAKOU ADOU ANTOINE

Aura Solution Company Limited considers it important that the Government of the Republic of Congo and all relevant institutions are clearly informed of this position.

Aura Solution Company Limited shall not be responsible, liable, or accountable for any act or action undertaken by Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine after the effective date of this notice without the Company's express written authorisation.

Any statement, representation, commitment, agreement, transaction, negotiation, correspondence, instruction, promise, undertaking, announcement, or other action undertaken by Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine following his suspension shall be regarded as unauthorised and outside the authority of Aura Solution Company Limited, unless Aura expressly confirms such action in writing.

Accordingly, no government authority, ministry, department, bank, financial institution, investor, company, or other third party should rely upon any representation made by Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine as representing the position of Aura.Any party wishing to verify whether an individual has authority to represent Aura must obtain direct written confirmation from Aura Solution Company Limited through its authorised corporate channels.

CANCELLATION OF THE US$25 TRILLION AFRICAN INVESTMENT PROGRAMME

Aura Solution Company Limited hereby confirms the complete cancellation of its previously announced African investment programme of up to US$25 trillion, effective immediately.The cancellation applies to all previously announced or contemplated investments and strategic initiatives connected with Aura's African expansion, including proposed investments in the Republic of Congo, banking, financial services, media, infrastructure, real estate, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, capital deployment, operating businesses, expansion programmes, and other related projects.

No previous announcement concerning the programme should now be interpreted as an active investment commitment by Aura.

No government authority, company, investor, institution, partner, or other stakeholder should assume that Aura continues to have any obligation to proceed with a previously announced African investment.

The programme is cancelled in its entirety unless Aura Solution Company Limited subsequently issues a new written corporate decision expressly establishing a new programme.

FORMAL NOTICE TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CONGO

Aura considers it appropriate and necessary that this decision be communicated directly to the highest authorities of the Republic of Congo.The Office of the President, the Ministry of Finance, relevant ministries, government departments, public authorities, and other institutions are therefore formally notified that Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine no longer has any authority to represent Aura Solution Company Limited or Aura Congo.

Any previous authority, mandate, representation, or understanding that may have existed in relation to Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine's representation of Aura should be considered withdrawn with immediate effect.

Any communication made by him concerning Aura's investments, acquisitions, financial commitments, projects, strategic plans, or future activities should not be considered an official communication of Aura unless independently confirmed in writing by Aura Solution Company Limited.

FUTURE RELATIONSHIP WITH AFRICA

Aura's decision should not be interpreted as a permanent statement concerning every future opportunity in Africa. Rather, it reflects the Company's present determination that the previously announced programme cannot continue under the circumstances that currently exist.

Any future consideration of an investment in the Republic of Congo or elsewhere in Africa would have to begin from a completely new basis.Such consideration would require a new strategic assessment, appropriate leadership arrangements, strengthened governance, independent internal review, and specific written approval from Aura Solution Company Limited.

Until such a decision is formally issued, Aura has no active US$25 trillion African investment programme.

AURA'S FINAL POSITION

Aura Solution Company Limited recognises the importance of the Republic of Congo and respects the country's Government, institutions, and authorities.The Company also recognises that personal circumstances can change and that marriage and family responsibilities are important. However, Aura has a corresponding responsibility to ensure that individuals entrusted with extraordinary corporate responsibilities continue to possess the professional availability, focus, judgment, and commitment necessary to discharge those responsibilities.

Aura has concluded that the material changes in Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine's personal circumstances and priorities following his marriage, together with subsequent developments, have resulted in a level of uncertainty and loss of confidence that the Company is not prepared to accept in connection with a programme of this magnitude.

Aura's decision is therefore not a temporary suspension of investment activity. It is a complete cancellation of the previously announced African programme and an immediate withdrawal of Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine's authority to represent Aura.

The Company's position is unequivocal.

• The previously announced US$25 trillion African investment programme is cancelled effective immediately.

• Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine is suspended as President of Aura Congo effective immediately.

• Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine has no authority to represent Aura Solution Company Limited or Aura Congo in any manner whatsoever.

• He has no authority to represent Aura before the President, Government, ministries, departments, public authorities, financial institutions, investors, companies, international organisations, or any other person or institution.

• Aura Solution Company Limited accepts no responsibility or liability for any act or action undertaken by Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine without the Company's express written authorisation.

• All previous authority granted to Mr. Kouakou Adou Antoine is withdrawn in its entirety and with immediate effect.

Aura will communicate any future change to this position only through an authorised corporate announcement issued directly by Aura Solution Company Limited.

Respectfully,

AURA SOLUTION COMPANY LIMITED
