AEP Plantations Plc
("AEP" or the "Company")
Update: Flooding in Indonesia
AEP Plantations plc, which owns, operates and develops sustainable palm-oil production in Indonesia and Malaysia, provides an update on the flooding affecting the PT Cahaya Pelita Andhika ("CPA") estate in Central Tapanuli, North Sumatra, following the severe rainfall experienced in late November 2025.
Conditions across the estate have largely returned to normal and the majority of operations have resumed. There have been no major palm losses, and all employees and their families are safe and fully accounted for.
The principal operational constraint remains the transport of fresh fruit bunches ("FFB") following damage to the main access bridge. Interim arrangements are in place to manage FFB deliveries while longer-term access restoration is being progressed by the local authorities.
The Board considers that the flooding will not have a material impact on the Group's overall fruit production or financial performance.
