Monday, 23 september 2024 Dear business partners, we would like to inform you that our majority shareholder and the top management of Rosatom Engineering have expressed their support for us, not only on the level of moral support in our current difficult situation, but above all, they are releasing resources for flood support, restoration of machinery and technical equipment and the entire production area so that we can continue with the orders in progress as soon as possible. We would also like to inform you that our core production programmes for the manufacture of valves for nuclear power are maintained by our strategic partners, and that the delays necessary to restart production have been accepted for all ongoing projects for the construction of new nuclear power plants at Akkuyu in Turkey, Kudankulam in India and Rooppur in Bangladesh. These facts mentioned above are a boost and a light in the current flood tunnel that enables us to continue the immeasurable efforts of all the employees of ARAKO spol. s r.o. at all levels, not including the top management. We would also be very pleased with your support and a certain degree of leniency in meeting the deadlines and payment dates of our company’s due obligations. We firmly believe that just as we survived the 1997 floods, we will breathe together after this apocalyptic flood and continue our 70-year tradition of manufacturing industrial valves. Julie DolguševaExecutive Director of ARAKO Back
