IV ("BWIV") have today mutually acknowledged that they have decided not to further explore the potential acquisition of assets previously contemplated and have therefore terminated the non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") in its entirety. Maha announced on 28 April 2026 that it had entered into a non-binding LOI with BWIV regarding a potential business combination. The transaction was expected to be structured as a so-called de-SPAC merger, meaning that BWIV would acquire Maha's subsidiaries, inclusive of their respective assets and contracts, to form a publicly traded combined company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with the trust proceeds after redemption expected to provide primary capital to the combined company at closing. After further evaluation, both companies have decided not to explore the proposed transaction structure. The Board of Maha's strategic ambition to create a leading publicly traded fintech platform with access to the U.S. capital markets remains intact. However, management and the Board concluded that maintaining strategic flexibility and focusing on the continued execution of the Group's operating business represented the best path forward for shareholders at this stage. The letter of intent was non-binding, and its termination does not result in any further obligations between the parties. The Company remains focused on identifying and pursuing opportunities that it believes will create the strongest long-term value for shareholders while supporting the continued growth of the Group's operating businesses and the dual listing in the US market, including a potential separation and listing of its oil and gas business. "I would like to thank Blue Water and its team for the constructive dialogue and professionalism shown throughout the discussions and wish them every success in their future activities," commented Roberto Marchiori, CEO of Maha Capital. **Contacts** Roberto Marchiori, CEO & CFO | Jakob Sintring, Head of IR Phone: +46 8 611 05 11, E-mail: IR@maha-capital.com **About Maha Capital** Maha Capital AB (publ) is a listed technology-driven financial solutions provider focused on improving liquidity, security, transparency, and efficiency in B2B supply chain financing and corporate travel and expense management.
