10. Other useful information
Mr. Miodrag Kostic ("MK") was the directly controlling person of Agri Holding AG (CH-110.227.853) ("Agri Holding") which in turn was directly controlling AikGroup (CY) Limited ("Aik") (formerly Agri Europe Cyprus Limited ("AEC")).
Following the death of MK at the end of 2024 and the execution of his testamentary dispositions and orders made during his lifetime, as of 10 March 2025 Aik's shareholder structure changed such that, at that time, Agri Holding held a 50% stake, the Circle Trust managed by (then) South Dakota Trust Company ("SDTC") as trustee held a 25% stake, and finally, the Sloane Trust managed by Raysaffe Trustee Company (C.I.) Limited (GG) as trustee held a 25% stake in Aik. In 2026, the trustee managing Circle Trust was changed to Saffiry Trustee Company (C.I.) Limited (GG) ("STC").
Since Aleksandar Kostic ("AK") is controlling (x) Agri Holding and (y) SDTC (now STC) as trustee of Circle Trust in its capacity as investment advisor in relation to the exercise of the voting rights attached to the stake in Aik held by the Circle Trust, AK became subject to notification obligation.
For the sake of completeness, it is noted that Gorenjska banka d.d., Kranj (additionally) acquired 60,895 shares in Addiko Bank AG in 2026, corresponding to a stake of 0.31% with the result that Gorenjska banka d.d., Kranj now holds a total stake of 5.5% in Addiko Bank AG. Thus, Gorenjska banka d.d., Kranj and AIK Banka together at present hold in total 1,949,066 shares in Addiko Bank AG corresponding to a stake in Addiko Bank AG of 9.995%.
