BEXIMCO PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Further re the Temporary Suspension of Trading

Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited ("Beximco Pharma", "BPL" or "the Company"; AIM Symbol: BXP, LEI No.: 213800IMBBD6TIOQGB56) provides an update on the Temporary Suspension of Trading on AIM announcement released earlier today, at the request of the Company. This follows a full-court hearing held today as detailed below and as previously referenced in announcements on 30 September, 2 October and 28 October 2024.

On 30 September 2024, the Company announced that a Writ Petition with the Supreme Court of Bangladesh had been brought by a Mr. Masood Sobhan, a citizen of Bangladesh and practicing lawyer of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh as the Petitioner. The Writ Petition had been filed as a Public Interest Litigation. This Writ Petition included Beximco Pharma, in addition to the Bangladesh Bank, The Bangladesh Ministry of Finance, and Salman F. Rahman as separately listed and distinct Respondents. Inter alia, the writ asked the Court to direct the Bangladesh Bank to "appoint a Receiver to manage the companies of [the] Beximco Group of Companies."

Pending a hearing on this Writ Petition, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh issued an Interim Order, which inter alia directed the Bangladesh Bank to "appoint a Receiver to manage the companies of Beximco Group of companies for a period of 06 (six) months from date …".

On 2 October 2024, the Company announced that at a court hearing of the Appellate Division in Bangladesh, the Judge-in Chamber passed "No Order" and referred Beximco Pharma's appeal to a full-court hearing on 28 October 2024. This was subsequently adjourned until 11 November 2024 as announced by the Company on 28 October 2024.

The Company notes local press coverage in Bangladesh yesterday, 10 November 2024, that the Bangladesh Bank has appointed a receiver to Beximco Pharma in compliance with the Court's Interim Order. To confirm, Beximco Pharma has not been informed of this development in writing.

Beximco Pharma's appeal was duly heard in the full-court hearing today and the Supreme Court of Bangladesh stated it will issue its decision tomorrow, 12 November 2024. The receiver's appointment to Beximco Pharma will, therefore, remain subject to the decision tomorrow.

As a result of the uncertainty around the appointment of a receiver, the lack of clarity in respect of their terms of appointment and the deferral of the Court's decision until tomorrow, Beximco Pharma requested a temporary suspension of trading in the Company's shares on AIM, which occurred at 7.30am this morning.

The Company's shares remain suspended from trading on AIM.

Further announcements will be made in due course.
