In accordance with Section 3.4(b) of the Lusaka Securities Exchange (“LuSE”) Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (“CEC” or “the Group”) hereby advise shareholders that the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) for the year ended 31 December 2025, is likely to be approximately 31% higher than that of the year ended 31 December 2024. The improved EPS performance for 2025 was largely driven by stronger local and regional trading volumes, together with the recognition of a one-off gain arising from the reversal of previously impaired receivables from Konkola Copper Mines (“KCM”).

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

The results for the year ended 31 December 2025 will be released on SENS and published in the local media on or about 5 March 2026. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing with the Company’s securities until the results are published.

By order of the Board
Julia C Z Chaila (Mrs)
Company Secretary

Issued in Lusaka, Zambia on 4 March 2026
