International Limited (ASX: CCO), a packaged goods company focused on kava and other natural products that support relaxation, aid sleep, and offer an alternative to alcohol, provides the following update regarding its Navua facility in Fiji. The Calmer Co has successfully negotiated an expanded lease agreement for its Navua manufacturing facility in Fiji, securing a three year term with an option to extend until 2031. This strategic move ensures long term control of the manufacturing site, supporting uninterrupted operations and aligning with the company's growth strategy, aimed at achieving scalability and breaking even. Capital initially allocated for acquiring the facility will now be redirected to accelerate growth initiatives, providing critical operational funds as the company introduces its new product range to the US market. Founder & CEO Zane Yoshida commented, "This agreement ensures the stability of our manufacturing operations through 2031. The staged lease expansion gives us the flexibility to expand as needed and supports our plans for growth, especially as we enter the US market."

Background On 9 October 2024, the Company announced that it had executed a binding offer to acquire the Navua property. On 6 February 2025, the Company announced that the contract would become unconditional with the support of a FJD2.64 million loan facility from the Fiji Development Bank (FDB). During the final stages of completion, it was identified that building plans required for transfer were unavailable due to prior flood damage at the local town council. The Company engaged engineers to assist with compliance documentation, who subsequently advised that remedial works would be required to meet current standards, including full temporary vacating of the premises. To avoid operational disruption, the Company has negotiated to terminate the acquisition agreement and has entered into a long-term lease of the facility with expanded terms to support future growth. The landlord has agreed to this revised arrangement, and the Company did not draw down on the FDB facility. Capital earmarked for the acquisition will now be redirected to strategic growth initiatives. Strategic and Financial Implications • • • • Right of First Refusal: The Company retains the right to purchase the site if it is offered for sale during the lease term. Power & Infrastructure: The Company will fund installation of a 750KVA transformer and related power infrastructure to support increased production capacity. Insurance & Maintenance: The Company will maintain public liability, equipment, and business interruption insurance, while the landlord remains responsible for structural and cyclone-related cover. Operational Continuity: The lease secures long term control of the manufacturing site with no disruption to operations, aligning with The Calmer Co.’s path to breakeven and scalable growth. 2 View Full ASX Release on Investor Hub ENDS This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of The Calmer Co.
