What was shared

KEC International informed the exchanges that its branch in Mali received an Assessment Order from the Directorate of Large Enterprise (DGE), Mali. The communication was received by authorised officers on September 29, 2026.

The amounts involved

The alleged issue

The order has been passed by allegedly taxing offshore supplies applying an ad-hoc margin, and by rejecting the Ministerial Decree that exempted the project from taxes.

Company's response

The Company is perusing the order and will seek appropriate legal remedies in order to contest the demand. It states it has been advised that the demand is not correct, and accordingly does not foresee any material financial impact on account of the order.

How to read this

This is a regulatory/tax action disclosed under Regulation 30. The amounts are modest relative to a large infrastructure EPC company, and the Company has signalled it will contest the demand rather than accept it. Investors may watch for updates on the appeal process and any revision to the demand.
