AGM and Trading Update

Trading Update and AGM Statement

FADEL (AIM: FADL), a global leader in AI-driven brand compliance and licensing
software, today provides the following update ahead of its Annual General
Meeting ("AGM"), which will be held later today.

Trading Update

The Company remains on track to achieve its full-year revenue guidance of
$12.0M - $12.9M and its adjusted EBITDA loss target, which is expected to fall
between -$1.0 million and -$0.8 million, consistent with market expectations.
Cash at year-end is expected to be in the range of $0.8 million to $1.0
million, ahead of our previous guidance, reflecting continued discipline in
collections and cost management. The Company believes that it will have
sufficient cash through the end of 2026 without having to access its available
$1.0 million line of credit, which remains undrawn.

For the 9 months ended 30 September 2025, the Company had secured eight new
customers, including Ferrero, Handcraft Manufacturing, Synaptics, Viz Media,
and Zak! Designs. New customer contracts and upsells to existing clients
contributed approximately $0.8 million in incremental recurring license annual
contract value and $1.0 million in non-recurring service revenue.  These wins
broaden the Group's customer base and enhance the visibility of future
recurring license revenues.

Innovation & AI Development

On the innovation front, we are making strong progress with the
much-anticipated general availability release of the Product Approval module
(currently in Beta release) in early January 2026, offering brand governance
solutions for merchandise, trademark and logo licensors. In addition, FADEL
has now productized several integrated Generative AI capabilities into our
existing IPM Suite and Brand Vision product lines, from leading vendors -
Amazon, Meta and OpenAI. These AI features include AI Predictive Analytics, AI
Vision for Media Identification and Matching and an in-application AI Chatbot,
designed to deliver greater automation, intelligence, and efficiency for our
clients. In 2026, we will be releasing several AI Agents through the Amazon
Marketplace and based on the Amazon AWS Bedrock Agentic AI platform. AI
Contract Ingest and AI Product Approval Reviewer agents are planned for
release in H1 2026, while additional AI Agents are planned for release in H2
2026.

We believe these AI Agents will strengthen our product offering, increase our
recurring revenue and further differentiate FADEL in the licensing and brand
compliance and governance marketplace. Further details on these developments
were set out in press releases issued on 2 October 2025 (click here)

Strategic Review

As previously announced earlier in the year, the Board initiated a process to
explore strategic options for the business, aiming to unlock additional value
for shareholders. Several expressions of interest were received; however, none
presented a combination of value, structure and certainty which the Board
could recommend to shareholders. Following a full assessment, the Board has
concluded the process.

FADEL will continue to focus on executing its organic growth strategy -
expanding the customer base, maintaining investment in product development,
with a keen focus on Agentic AI solutions, growing licensing recurring revenue
streams, and maintaining strict cost management.

AGM

The resolutions set out in the Notice of AGM will be put to shareholders
today. The results of the AGM will be announced in due course.
