Ready to scale // Renewed business structure; chg.

Topic: Since our last update, Samara has transformed into a global holding

company with a portfolio of high-growth opportunities across disruptive

sectors and innovative technologies. At a glance:

New business structure. With the aim to generate outsized returns that are

built on diversification across asset classes, Samara restructured its

business in three pillars: "Funds", "Private & Listed Equity" and "Bitcoin".

While "Funds" is basically a VC and PE fund-of-fund strategy intending to

select best-inclass funds representing 58% of the Gross Asset Value (GAV) of

the Group, "Private&Listed Equity" aggregates with 27% of the GAV Samara´s

selected direct investments into global listed and private companies with a

high potential for reasonable returns (i.e. Northern Data, a.o.). The third

pillar "Bitcoin" (15% of GAV) stands for Samara´s Bitcoin Treasury of which

the majority is managed in the "Samara Alpha BTC fund' - a Bitcoin

denominated, actively-managed fund of digital asset strategies. On the next

pages we take a closer look at the different business segments.

Strong development in FY24. The NAV increased by 28% yoy in FY24 to EUR 245m

(dividend payments in FY23 of EUR 74m are included), mainly driven by the

strong development of Bitcoin (by 127% to $ 96.000; 540 BTC hold in FY24)

and Northern Data (by 69% yoy to EUR 44.35; ~1.15m shares held as of today) in

FY24, but also by the strong performance of other investments. Overall,

Samara invested EUR 90.8m in FY24.

First Bond issuance. In order to seize investment opportunities, Samara

issued its first bond in Q4´24, raising EUR 20m at 3m Euribor 7.50% and a

5-year term. The proceeds are used to invest into Samara´s diversified and

alternative asset fund portfolio and BTC, as Samara´s strategic treasury

reserve asset.

Looking into FY25, Samara should strongly benefit from the recent BTC

performance hitting a new ATH compensating for the stock price performance

of ND that decreased by c. 44% since FY24 (i.e. mainly due to BTC dip and

tariff war). As all the other fund investments are assumed to be illiquid by

nature without any substantial changes of price since FY24, we see the fair

NAV at EUR 215m, not pricing in any potential or hidden reserves of non-listed

assets (i.e. Plasma).

HOLD with an unchanged PT of EUR 2.00 based on our SOTP.
