Industry and market data used in this Presentation is based on the Company’s analysis of multiple sources, including management’s estimates, proprietary surveys and a market report commissioned from a reputable market consulting firm. This information involves many assumptions and limitations; therefore, there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions and recipients are cautioned
not to give undue weight to this information. The Company has not independently verified the data obtained from third-party sources and no representation is made as to the accuracy, reasonableness or completeness of any projections or modelling or any other information contained herein and the Company does not undertake, and the Company expressly disclaims, any obligation to comment on the expectations of, or
statements made by, third parties in respect of the matters discussed in this Presentation. Any data on past performance or modelling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. This Presentation does not take into account, nor does it provide, and nor should it be construed as providing, any tax, legal, regulatory, business, financial, accounting or investment advice or opinion regarding the specific
investment objectives or financial situation of any person. Recipients of this Presentation should consult their own legal, regulatory, tax, business, financial and accounting advisors to the extent they deem necessary, and each recipient must make its own evaluation of the Company and of the relevance and adequacy of the information. The information contained in this Presentation only speaks at the date of this

Neither the delivery of this Presentation nor any further discussions of the Company’s businesses with the recipient thereof shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Company’s businesses since the date of this Presentation. The Company reserves the right to amend or replace the information contained herein, in part or entirely, at any time,
and undertakes no obligation to provide the recipient with access to the amended information or to notify the recipient thereof.

The Company and its affiliates own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this
Presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with the Company or any of its affiliates, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of the Company or such affiliates. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this Presentation may appear without the TM, SM or © symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that the Company, their
respective affiliates or any third parties whose trademarks are referenced herein will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor in these trademarks, service marks and trade names.

Certain financial and statistical information in this Presentation has been subject to rounding off adjustments. Accordingly, the sum of certain data may not conform to the expressed total. The Company uses several key operating measures, including, but not limited to, operating profit margin excluding the impact of hedged copper, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding the
effect of hedged copper, to track the performance of its portfolio and business. None of these items are a measure of financial performance under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), nor have these measures been audited or reviewed by an external auditor, consultant or expert. These measures are derived from management information systems. These items are an addition to, and not a substitute for
or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. As these terms are defined by the Company’s management and are not determined in accordance with IFRS, thus being susceptible to varying calculation, the measures presented may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures used by other companies. Any such information, measure or estimate should therefore not be regarded as an indication, forecast or representation by the Company or any other person regarding the Company’s operating or financial performance for the respective period. The Company believes that these measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental
information to investors about the Company. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these measures in connection with their nearest equivalents which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. For example, other companies may calculate such other measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore the Company’s measures may not be
directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The principal limitation of these financial measures is that they exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results, including significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as
they reflect the exercise of judgements by the Company about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these financial measures.

Certain information in this Presentation and oral statements made in connection with this Presentation are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the estimated future financial performance, financial position and financial impacts of the Company. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “objective,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “seem,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “intend,”
“expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “plan,” “is designed to,” “would,” “continue,” “project,” “possible,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” “strive,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “will continue,” “will likely result” or similar expressions suggest future outcomes but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When the Company discusses its strategies or plans, it is making projections
and using forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited, statements regarding estimates, forecasts of other financial and performance metrics, projections of market opportunity and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. Forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets are based on the opinions
and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements and
financial projections are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. None of the Company’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have applied, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the financial targets, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on the financial targets or their achievability. These forward-
looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. The financial targets constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future financial performance. The Company cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements and there is no
representation that the actual results achieved will be the same, in whole or in part, as those set out in the forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets as actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. While in some cases presented with numerical specificity, by their nature, forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial
targets involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking information will not occur, which may cause the Company’s actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections or targets of future performance or
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. There may be additional risks that the Company presently knows, or that the Company currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. The
financial targets reflect the Company’s subjective judgements in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business, economic, financial and other developments. Accordingly, such assumptions may change or may not materialize at all. The forward-looking statements, financial projections and financial targets contained in this Presentation
are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. While the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, except as required by applicable law, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Company and its affiliates and or their respective boards of directors, senior management or any of their respective affiliates, advisers, officers, directors or representatives cannot give any assurance that the financial targets will be realized or that actual results will not vary significantly from the financial targets.

Additionally, some or all of the information in this Presentation is or may be price-sensitive information and the use of such information may be regulated or prohibited by applicable legislation, including securities laws related to insider dealing and market abuse. While all financial, operational, industry and market projections, estimates and targets are necessarily speculative, the Company believes that the preparation
of prospective financial, operational, industry and market information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate or target extends from the date of preparation. Actual results will differ, and may differ materially, from the results contemplated by the projected financial, operational, industry and market information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such
information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved.

Payment

• An order to suppliers is only placed when UCR receives an order from its customers, thereby allowing for a natural hedge and removing commodity price and volume risk
• Suppliers are usually paid at the time of ordering (~0-15 days) by drawing on working capital financing lines
• Banks charge only ~1.25% margin on these financing lines, significantly lower than that offered to other local businesses, recognising the liquid nature of copper and Ittihad /
UCR's strong standing
• Accounts receivable cycle is short (Days Sales Outstanding is 10 days) and is secured by trade instruments such as letter of credits, bank guarantee, and cash against documents
which typically covers or exceeds AP to Glencore
• Therefore, from a risk management point of view, the liquidity sources of UCR used to service Short Term Facilities from Banks is the Inventory (RMI) whereas AR collections mitigate
the outstanding balances due to Glencore. Both Days Inventory Outstanding and Days Sales Outstanding periods are shorter than Days Payable Outstanding and Facilities from banks

a. UCR – Operating / Working Capital Cycle

b. Industry Overview

c. Ittihad’s Readily Marketable Inventory (RMI)


UCR - COPPER INVENTORIES

Trading markets • LME copper cathode is traded on all commodity brokers platforms as physical or netted through forward agreements

• Copper rods can be sold anytime at copper cathode price + cathode premium – 0.5%
Pricing
– Recovery of conversion premium is highly likely and thus copper rod is not considered recycled copper

• UCR operates on a natural hedge – copper inventory is purchased / financed against a firm
order
• Working facilities are drawn down only in the event of an actual sale
Hedging and ability • In the event that UCR finances inventory against a sales order that needs to be fulfilled in 15-
to de-risk bank 30 days, and the buyer defaults, the company can immediately dispose inventory locally
financing exposure (Ducab / Fujairah National Copper / Emirates National Copper)
• Even finished copper wire can be sold to other factories where they can be re-melted and

IPM/CPM – PULP INVENTORIES
• GCC market with 800k MT capacity with local UAE markets (Abu Dhabi National Paper, Star Paper Mill, FINE paper) accounting for 25k MT
Trading markets capacity
• IPM/CPM have a combined consumption of 25k MT of pulp

• IPM/CPM procure pulp based on China price index price due to their larger scale vs local players (that procure pulp at spot price that is usually
Pricing $50-$60 higher than the China price index)
• Given the consumption capacity of local players in UAE/GCC, IPM/CPM can sell their inventories at no haircut (i.e. China price index)

• Cost of waste paper (e.g. Sorted Office Paper) is c.90% the cost of virgin pulp (e.g.China price index), thus offering a natural hedge to procured
pulp
Hedging and ability • The UAE local players are located in the same vicinity as CPM/IPM, thus leading to lower transportation costs, costs related to opening letters of
to de-risk bank credit, etc.
financing exposure • Inventory can be liquidated within 7-10 days to de-risk capital exposure to banks – IPM/CPM have a proven track record of selling surplus stock
during 2021/22 to local peers
• Financing facilities include LCs/Trust Receipts to fund inventory purchase
