Eco Buildings Group plc (the "Company" or the "Group"), a UK-listed
construction company focused on advanced sustainable housing solutions, is
pleased to announce the launch of Eco Buildings United Kingdom Ltd ("EBUK"), a
dedicated United Kingdom subsidiary established to address growing demand for
scalable, energy efficient and economically viable housing solutions across
the UK.

The establishment of EBUK represents a strategically significant step in the
Group's expansion strategy and positions Eco Buildings directly within one of
the most supply constrained housing markets in Europe.

To support this expansion, Eco Buildings has entered into a binding framework
agreement ("BFA") with Messrs Ben Thompson and Alister Bennett through their
SPV ("Noventum"), creating a local operating platform combining Eco Buildings'
proprietary construction technology with highly experienced UK and
international construction and project management expertise.

The Noventum team brings decades of experience across large-scale residential,
infrastructure and government-backed construction programmes, providing EBUK
with substantial construction innovation, procurement, and project delivery
expertise.

The UK housing sector continues to experience significant structural pressures
driven by housing shortages, rising construction costs, labour constraints and
increasing sustainability requirements. Eco Buildings and its new partners
believe Eco's advanced glass fibre reinforced gypsum ("GFRG") construction
technology is particularly well positioned to respond to these challenges
through a systemised approach focused on speed, quality, scalability and
economic viability.

Eco Buildings' construction platform combines accelerated construction speeds,
lower overall build costs, high fire resistance performance, strong thermal
efficiency characteristics, factory-controlled quality consistency, reduced
labour dependency and sustainable energy efficient building performance.

EBUK is progressing an initial pilot programme involving two demonstration
homes on sites already identified by a potential customer seeking scalable
housing development solutions. These pilot homes are intended to demonstrate
the speed, quality, sustainability and economic viability of the Eco Buildings
system for prospective development partners, housing associations and other
sector participants.

EBUK has also received engagement and enquiries from UK housing sector
participants for whom EBUK believes its solution represents a differentiated
offering currently not widely available within the market.

To support near-term operational activity and accelerate deployment
capability, Eco Buildings initially intends to supply GFRG walls into the UK
market from its existing manufacturing facility in Albania - which is in the
process of a significant capacity upgrade - while evaluating a future UK
manufacturing base.

The Company believes the launch of EBUK further underpins its broader
international growth strategy and reflects increasing market interest in
scalable next-generation construction technologies.

Dr Etrur Albani, Executive Vice Chairman of Eco Buildings Group plc,
commented: "The establishment of Eco Buildings United Kingdom represents a
highly significant milestone in the growth of Eco Buildings Group plc and
reflects our belief that the United Kingdom is one of the most important
strategic housing markets globally.

The UK requires not only more homes, but fundamentally better and more
efficient ways of delivering them. Rising construction costs, labour shortages
and sustainability pressures are accelerating the need for innovation across
the sector.

We believe Eco Buildings is exceptionally well positioned within this
transition. Our technology has been developed around speed, quality,
scalability and economic viability, which are becoming increasingly critical
factors for both public and private sector housing delivery.

What is particularly exciting is that the opportunity extends beyond simply
improving construction efficiency. We believe advanced systemised technologies
such as ours have the potential to materially influence how future housing
delivery is approached in the United Kingdom.

With experienced local partners now in place, increasing engagement activity
across the sector and initial deployment opportunities progressing, we believe
Eco Buildings United Kingdom creates a strong platform for long-term growth
within the UK market and we look forward to providing further updates as
momentum continues to build."

Thompson & Bennett for Noventum commented: "At Noventum, we believe that
construction should be smarter, more efficient, and more cost effective.
Given the persistent shortfall in available housing in the UK, and the
difficulties faced in addressing this situation, now is the time to challenge
conventional construction methods and rethink how projects are designed and
delivered.

We are delighted to be working alongside Eco Buildings to bring together
innovative thinking, modern construction processes, and practical commercial
understanding to bring a new approach to building to the UK market.  By
combining innovation with practicality we can create solutions that are not
only environmentally responsible, but also commercially viable for investors,
developers and end users."
