Abu Dhabi, UAE – 18 September, 2026: Agthia Group PJSC ("Agthia" or "the Group"), one of the region's leading food and beverage companies, held its General Assembly Meeting today, with shareholders participating both in person and virtually. In line with the Group's semi-annual dividend policy, shareholders approved the Board of Directors' recommendation to distribute an interim cash dividend of 11.792 fils per share for the first half of 2026, a 14.4% increase year-on-year.

The higher distribution follows a first half marked by materially stronger cash generation and lower leverage, with net debt-to-EBITDA ratio down to 1.8x. The increase marks a second consecutive rise in Agthia's distribution, underscoring the improving financial strength underpinning the Group's returns and its ongoing commitment to rewarding shareholders while retaining the flexibility to invest behind future growth.
