   Closing of acquisition: SBO strengthens Precision Technology division with
   3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd.

   SBO AG, listed in the leading index ATX of the Vienna Stock Exchange, has
   successfully completed the acquisition of 3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd.,
   which was agreed in August 2025. The company is a leading British provider
   of industrial 3D metal printing solutions. The closing of the transaction
   strategically strengthens SBO's Precision Technology division and provides
   access to an internationally recognized center of excellence in additive
   manufacturing. 3T Additive Manufacturing operates a state-of-the-art,
   fully integrated production facility in Newbury, UK, and serves a global
   customer base in high-tech industries such as aerospace, space, defense,
   semiconductors, and oil and gas. The company generated sales of around GBP
   5 million in 2024.

   “With the successful completion of the acquisition of 3T Additive
   Manufacturing, we are setting another milestone in our strategic
   diversification. We are expanding our Precision Technology division by
   adding a highly specialized and well-positioned company in the field of 3D
   metal printing, which opens up new markets for us and strengthens our
   competitive position sustainably. At the same time, we are underlining our
   strong commitment to technology leadership, sustainability, and resilient
   supply chains,” says Klaus Mader, CEO of SBO, commenting on the
   acquisition.

   Strategic expansion of technology leadership and customer base
   With this acquisition, SBO is strengthening its position in an attractive
   growth market. 3T is one of the few vertically integrated companies in 3D
   metal printing worldwide, covering the entire value chain from design and
   prototyping to series production and post-processing. Long-term contracts
   with international customers in key industries ensure the stability of the
   business model. Additionally, 3T's highly qualified team of experts
   ideally complements the existing expertise of SBO's Precision Technology
   division and accelerates the implementation of the additive manufacturing
   growth strategy.

   Advancing sustainability and supply chain resilience
   Special attention is given to sustainability: Since 2023, 3T has been
   manufacturing exclusively with electricity from renewable energies. The
   company is following a clear roadmap to achieve emission-free production
   by 2032 and plans to provide a digital net-zero certificate for every part
   delivered. In addition, the production site in the UK further strengthens
   the resilience of SBO’s supply chains. Proximity to end customers and
   fully digitalized and automated processes shorten transport routes and
   significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
