Company Update

 

AEP Plantations plc, which owns, operates and develops sustainable palm-oil
production in Indonesia and Malaysia, provides the following update on the
flooding that is currently severely affecting the island of Sumatra.

 

Exceptionally heavy rainfall in Western Sumatra has caused severe flooding and
landslides across the region. The has impacted Sibolga Town and the
surrounding areas, including the Company's PT Cahaya Pelita Andhika ("CPA")
estate in Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra. Floodwater has covered over
4,000 hectares of CPA and temporarily disrupted electricity and
telecommunications.

 

As a precaution, employees, staff, and their families residing on-site were
safely evacuated and we are relieved to confirm that there has been no serious
injury or no loss of life among our employees, and all affected personnel are
accounted for and safe. The Company has also been focussed on ensuring the
wellbeing of nearby communities and providing essential support to these
through the coordination of the delivery of food, medicines, and other basic
supplies.

 

While the physical impact is still being evaluated, we do not foresee a
significant loss in Group fruit production, given the strong underlying
operational momentum across the portfolio. The Company anticipates harvesting
at CPA can resume toward the end of December 2025, subject to safe restoration
of access and logistics.

 

We will provide a further update once assessments are complete.
