ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or the “Company”) wishes to announce that it will be hosting a Shareholder Open Day on Tuesday, 28th October 2025, at Mulungushi International Conference Centre (MICC), from 10:00 hours to 12:00 hours (CAT). The event will be streamed live via ZOOM. This annual event is an opportunity for us to engage with you, our valued shareholders, and provide updates on the company’s performance, strategic direction, and future outlook.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) of the members of ZCCM Investment Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or “the Company”) will be held on Friday, 31 October 2025 at 10:00 hours at the Intercontinental Hotel, Nalikwanda Lusaka, Zambia.
On 28th August 2025, the Board of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or the “Company”)
approved a proposal to purchase a 35% stake in Maamba Solar Energy Limited (“MSEL”), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Maamba Energy Limited (“MEL”) incorporated on 28th January 2025 to invest
in and develop the renewable energy business within the Nava Group in Zambia.
ZCCM-IH will purchase 35% of MEL’s shares in MSEL while the remaining 65% will be held by Nava
Global PTE Limited (previously known as Nava Bharat Singapore Pte Ltd) and consequentially,
invest in the 100MWAC Solar PV Power project (the “Project”). MSEL has begun the development
of the Project which is set to be commissioned in July 2026. Details of the project are tabulated
below.
Further to the cautionary announcement dated 26 June 2025, ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or “the Company”) wishes to inform shareholders and the investing public that, on 20 June 2025, the Company was joined as a party to a Constitutional Court matter commenced by Honourable Miles Bwalya Sampa (“the Petitioner”) against the Attorney General of the Republic of Zambia (“the Respondent”).
The Petition challenges the 2024 transaction involving Mopani Copper Mines Plc (“MCM”) and International Resources Holdings (“IRH”) on constitutional grounds. Specifically, the Petitioner contends that the transaction, executed when MCM was wholly owned by ZCCM-IH, a state-controlled entity, amounts to a disposal of a significant state asset and, as such, should have been subjected to prior approval by Parliament in accordance with Article 210 of the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Act No. 2 of 2016.
Among the reliefs sought, the Petitioner requests a declaration that the transaction is unconstitutional, null, and void, and seeks an order to nullify the transaction on the grounds of non-compliance with the Constitution. The Petition further argues that the form of the transaction, presented as a subscription of shares, should not override its substantive effect, which allegedly amounts to a sale or disposal of a state asset.
ZCCM-IH has been added as a party to the proceedings for purposes of responding to the claims raised. ZCCM-IH has contested the matter and contends in its response that the Mopani transaction did not fall within the realm of Article 210 of the Constitution of Zambia. The Company will provide further updates as the matter progresses, in line with its continuous disclosure obligations.
Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution and to seek professional advice from a licensed investment advisor when dealing in the Company’s securities until a further announcement is made.

Further to the cautionary announcement dated 31 March 2025 issued by ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or “the Company”) in relation to arbitration proceedings instituted by Trafigura Pte Limited (“Trafigura”) against the Company.
Shareholders of ZCCM-IH are advised that, pursuant to a guarantee signed by ZCCM-IH’s then CEO in favour of Trafigura on 28 July 2021 (“Guarantee”), on 24 February 2024 Trafigura filed a request for arbitration against ZCCM-IH (as respondent) brought under the London Court of International Arbitration Rules 2020.

Yesterday, ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) proudly celebrated crossing the $1
Billion Market Capitalisation mark on the Lusaka Securities Exchange (LuSE).
The Guest of Honour, Hon. Paul Kabuswe, Minister of Mines and Minerals Development,
congratulated ZCCM-IH on this historic milestone. He emphasised that the achievement
reflects investor confidence, financial strength, and the enabling business environment
created by government reforms. He further reaffirmed Government’s support for ZCCM-IH,
particularly under its gold mandate, which is set to unlock even greater national value.

surged 131% in 2025, from K65 in January to K150 per share, raising market value to USD

payouts, a diversified portfolio, and the royalty revenue model — cementing ZCCM-IH’s
place as the second most valuable company on LuSE.

clear signal of Zambia’s capital market maturity and depth, and a strong message to both
