Argentex Response to Media Speculation and Rejects Lavide Holding Offer The Board of Argentex Group PLC (AIM:AGFX) noted recent media speculation and confirmed that on 6 June 2025 it received a highly preliminary non-binding proposal ("the Proposal") from Lavide Holding N.V. (ENXTAM:LVIDE) (and not Haerlem Capital as has been reported), a Euronext listed financial holding company with a current market capitalisation of c.€3 million, to make an equity investment in Argentex through the issuance of newly issued shares in order to obtain a 50% equity interest in the Company for a cash consideration of £2.5 million. The Proposal also includes the potential provision of a £15 million credit facility to the Company upon completion. The Board wishes to clarify that it has unanimously rejected the Proposal on the basis that it does not constitute an offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company, and that its proposed funding falls materially below that provided by IFX Payments and the level that Argentex requires to continue trading and fulfil its ongoing regulatory obligations.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.4% net profit margin).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.4% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (6.4% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£40.5m market cap, or US$53.8m). Announcement • Aug 14

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 6.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.8% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (10% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (6.4% increase in shares outstanding).

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 10% Last year net profit margin: 17% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.6% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (10% net profit margin).

New Risk • Nov 09
New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: UK£67.0m (US$82.3m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (UK£67.0m market cap, or US$82.3m). Announcement • Oct 27
