RECOMMENDED CASH ACQUISITION

of

Amedeo Air Four Plus Limited ("AA4+")

by

LAC 10 LLC ("LAC 10")

Update on letters of support given by Weiss Asset Management

On 6 March 2026, the boards of directors of Lesha Bank, LAC 10 and AA4+ announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended all cash acquisition of the entire issued share capital of AA4+ by LAC 10 (the "Acquisition"), to be implemented by way of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part VIII of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 (as amended) (the "Scheme") (the "2.7 Announcement"). Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the same meaning as set out in the 2.7 Announcement.

As set out in Part C of Appendix III of the 2.7 Announcement, LAC 10 had received non-binding letters of support from Weiss Asset Management (for and on behalf of Brookdale Global Opportunity Fund and Brookdale International Partners, L.P.), who had an interest in a total of 14,135,170 AA4+ Shares under swap contracts, representing, in aggregate, approximately 5.43 per cent. of the issued share capital of AA4+ on 5 March 2026 (the "Weiss Letters of Support"). Weiss Asset Management confirmed in the Weiss Letters of Support that, should it become the holder of, or otherwise obtain the voting rights over, any of the AA4+ Shares under swaps, it intends to vote (or procure votes) in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting and the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting in respect of such AA4+Shares.

Since the publication of the 2.7 Announcement, Weiss Asset Management announced that, on 6 March 2026, it reduced its long position over AA4+ Shares under the swaps (which are contract for differences ("CFDs")) by a total of 7,807,052 AA4+ Shares. As a result, the Weiss Letters of Support now apply only in respect of the remaining AA4+ Shares in which Weiss Asset Management holds an interest under the CFDs, amounting to a total of 6,328,118 AA4+ Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 2.43 per cent. of the issued share capital of AA4+ as at close of business (London time) on 9 March 2026 (being the last Business Day prior to the date of this announcement):
