| 13 2025 Expansion Without a doubt, one of the most important achievements of the year was the continued expansion of the PENNY network nationwide and the strengthening of our market position. In 2025, we closed the year with 456 stores in Romania, adding 40 new stores to the network. Throughout the year, we continued to invest in logistics infrastructure. Last year also saw the completion of the fifth logistics center in Romania, located in Mihăilești, Giurgiu County. Currently, all newly opened stores are BREEAM In Use certified. The certification assesses, among other aspects, employee well being, energy efficiency, water consumption, waste management, maintenance, as well as environmental and community impact. We continue our expansion plans and aim to invest in the development of the network, with the objective of reaching 1,000 stores by 2035 and further expanding logistics capacity. We are pleased to get closer to our customers across all regions of the country and to actively contribute to the growth of the Romanian economy through sustainable, fair operations aligned with the needs of Romanian consumers.
