Fairview International PLC

("Fairview" or the "Company")

AGM Statement

Fairview, the operator of international schools offering the International Baccalaureate ("IB") education, announces that at the Company's annual general meeting ("AGM") to be held at 11:00 a.m. today Jeffrey Beard, the chairman of the meeting and an Independent Director, will make the following statement to summarise the significant growth opportunities ahead for the Company:

"Since our admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange in October 2024, Fairview has continued to strengthen its position as a leading provider of international education in Malaysia. Our two schools - Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Johor Bahru (JB) - represent the core of the wider, 45‑year‑old Fairview education network. Both campuses operate with spare capacity, giving the Company a clear and immediate pathway for earnings growth as student numbers increase.

In addition to the operational upside, our JB campus contains over three acres of commercially zoned land, located in a region of high value real estate. The Board makes no provision for this potential development value in the Company's accounts but nevertheless sees this asset as a major strategic lever for future development, partnership or monetization. Fairview is also benefiting from strong macro trends in Malaysia, where demand for high‑quality, internationally recognized education continues to rise, including interest from families based in Singapore.

At this morning's AGM, the Company will be making a shareholder presentation outlining these opportunities and the strategic direction of Fairview. The presentation is available on the Company's website: www.fairviewplc.uk.

The Board believes that Fairview is at an inflection point. With increasing enrollment, valuable real estate , and the long-term potential for consolidation of additional Fairview campuses in the wider Fairview private group, the Company is confident that it is building a scalable platform capable of delivering substantial long-term shareholder value."

Notes to Editors - About Fairview International PLC

Fairview owns and operates two private independent schools in Malaysia that offer the International Baccalaureate programme. One of these schools is located in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the other is located in the southern state of Johor close to the border with Singapore.  These schools trade under the Fairview brand which was founded in 1978, and were subsequently acquired by Agodeus Sdn Bhd, a company owned by the Chian family, in 2012. 

There are three other schools in Malaysia and one in the United Kingdom that also trade under the Fairview brand, which are under common control but outside of the Company's group.  All schools in the Fairview network are individually recognised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation as fully accredited to offer the IB programme across the primary and middle years; ages 5 to 16, with Fairview Kuala Lumpur also offering the diploma programme for 16- to 19-year-olds.  Each of the schools not owned by the Company uses the Fairview brand under licence from the Company accessing the resources of the Fairview Network.

The school in Kuala Lumpur is the largest and flagship school that uses the Fairview brand, whilst the school in Johor focuses on the expatriate market in Singapore and is internationally focused.

 With a rise in popularity of the International Baccalaureate programme in both the independent and state sector in the UK, with a growing acceptance of International Baccalaureate graduates by UK universities, the Directors believe that the Company's  schools will appeal particularly to the ASEAN, Mainland China and Hong Kong market; particularly families looking for a strong and  proven educational foundation prior to studying at a UK university.
