Director's Other External Appointments

The Company notes the announcement by Nuburu, Inc. ("Nuburu") (NYSE American: BURU) on 17 January 2025 regarding appointing Alessandro Zamboni as Executive Chairman of Nuburu (the "Appointment").

The Supply@Me Nominations Committee (the "Nominations Committee" or "NomCo") reviewed the proposed Appointment ahead of it being announced and agreed for Alessandro Zamboni to undertake new responsibilities within his previously approved role of a Class I director announced by Nuburu on 3 May 2024.

The Nominations Committee governs the number and type of external appointments held by each director of SYME. Under the NomCo terms of reference a director of the Company should only take additional external appointments or other significant appointments with prior approval.

Furthermore, he reiterated his full commitment to his role as Chief Executive Officer of Supply@Me and Sole Director of the Italian subsidiaries and agreed with the Nominations Committee that such commitment will be subject to on-going periodic review by Nomco. On this basis the Nominations Committee approved the Appointment.

Notes:

SYME and its operating subsidiaries provide its Platform for use by manufacturing and trading companies to access inventory trade solutions enabling their businesses to generate cashflow, via a non-credit approach and without incurring debt. This is achieved by their existing eligible inventory being added to the Platform and then monetised via purchase by third party inventory funders. The inventory to be monetised can include warehouse goods waiting to be sold to end-customers or goods/commodities that are part of a typical import/export transaction.
