TRADING STATEMENT

In accordance with Section 3.4(b) Lusaka Securities Exchange (“LuSE”) Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of ZCCM-Investments Holdings PLC (the “Company” or “ZCCM-IH”) hereby advises the Shareholders of the Company that the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) for the year ended 31 December 2024 is expected to be approximately 1138 % higher than that reported for the year ended 31 December 2023.

This substantial increase in earnings is primarily attributed to the successful implementation of the Mopani Strategic Equity Partner (SEP) Transaction. The transaction repositioned Mopani Copper Mines Plc as a financially sustainable entity and enabled the settlement of ZMW 44.72 billion (US$1.71 billion) in Glencore/Carlisa debt through the Amendment, Restatement, and Consolidation Agreement (ARCA). As a result, the Group recorded a one-off gain of ZMW 35.92 billion (US$1.41 billion) and reclassified Mopani from a subsidiary to an associate, significantly boosting Group earnings.

As a result, the Group recorded a profit of ZMW 42.30 billion (US$1.62 billion) for the year ended 31 December 2024, compared to a loss of ZMW 4.08 billion (US$199 million) in the prior year.

Shareholders are advised that the information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company's external auditors.

The 2024 Provisional Unaudited Abridged Financial results for the year ended 31 December 2024 are expected to be released on the Securities Exchange News Services (“SENS”) and published in the local press on or about 06 May 2025. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing with the Company's securities until the results are published.

By Order of the Board
