Kuwait Projects Co SPC Limited

Strategic Partnership between OSN and Warner Bros. Discovery ("WBD")

Kuwait Projects Company (Holding) K.S.C.P. (KIPCO), in its capacity as the
Guarantor of Kuwait Projects Co SPC Limited, announced that Warner Bros.
Discovery ("WBD") intends to make a strategic minority investment of around
30% for a consideration of USD57 million in OSN Streaming Ltd. (a subsidiary
of OSN Group, a KIPCO subsidiary). Through this strategic investment and
partnership, WBD reinforces its commitment to the Middle East & North
Africa (MENA) region's rapidly growing streaming landscape. In connection with
this investment, OSN and WBD will invest in high-quality, locally produced
content, ensuring a richer and more diverse offering for viewers.

The transaction will be completed in stages and is subject to customary
conditions, certain regulatory approvals and rights for WBD to increase or
decrease its investments in the business under certain conditions.

Whilst the transaction has no immediate material financial impact of KIPCO's
financial statements, the transaction is a significant milestone in OSN's
growth journey and KIPCO's efforts to stabilize OSN Group by strengthening its
competitive positioning as one of the MENA region's premier entertainment
destination.
