SENS-AI conclusion

Momentum Group has appointed Mr. Tyrone Soondarjee as the permanent Independent Chair of the board, formalising his interim role held since November 2025. This completion of the leadership transition ensures strategic continuity and retains deep institutional knowledge within the board. This is a planned governance formalisation, not a signal of any operational change or strategic pivot. Investor Takeaway: The appointment secures leadership stability but remains a purely administrative governance event that does not alter the underlying equity thesis. Rating Context: This is a technical/administrative event with no direct equity impact. No portfolio action required.

Routine filing. No equity signal. No portfolio action required.
