**NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Accounting principles**

The Group's accounting policies and accompanying consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

**Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements present the consolidated accounts of FRHC and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

**Consolidation of variable interest entities**

In accordance with accounting standards regarding consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"), VIEs are generally defined as entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. VIEs must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any VIEs.

**Use of estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the

**FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.**<br>**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**<br>**(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)**<br>

date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the Group's financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Revenue and expense recognition**

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"), establishes the principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services promised to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. A significant portion of the Group's revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC Topic 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as loans and investment securities, insurance revenue, as these activities are subject to other U.S. GAAP guidance discussed elsewhere within these disclosures. Descriptions of the Group's revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC Topic 606, which are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income as components of total revenue, net are as follows:

• Commissions on brokerage services;

• Commissions on banking services (money transfers, foreign exchange operations and other);

• Agency fee commissions (the Company earns agency fee commissions through its facilitation of transactions between customers);

• Commissions on payment processing; and

• Commissions on investment banking services (such as underwriting and market making services).

The Group launched a cashback-based loyalty program, according to which cashback is provided for purchases made with Bank's card, depending on the customer loyalty level. If cash or another form of consideration provided to a customer, the Group reduces the transaction price.

**Concentrations of Revenue**

Revenues from one customer of the Group's Brokerage segment represents the following amount of the Group's consolidated revenues:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended**<br>**December 31, 2025** | **Three Months Ended**<br>**December 31, 2024** | **Nine Months Ended December 31, 2025** | **Nine Months Ended December 31, 2024** |
| Single non-related party | $89646 | $79875 | $272677 | $243159 |

---

For the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the amounts in the table above included fee and commission income earned from one customer in the amount of $85,555 and $77,354, respectively and interest income from margin loans to one customer in the amount of $4,091 and $2,521, respectively.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the amounts in the table above included fee and commission income earned from one customer in the amount of $255,094 and $213,643, respectively, and interest income from margin loans to one customer in the amount of $17,583 and $29,516, respectively.

**Transaction-Based Revenues**

The Company earns transaction-based revenue by routing and executing customer orders in equities, options, fixed-income securities and other exchange-traded products. The Company's single performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time an order is executed, which is when the customer obtains substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. The transaction price is established at execution and consists of per-instrument or per-contract commissions and a fixed percentage of the notional trade value.

**Gross versus net revenue**

*<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

**FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.**<br>**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)**<br>**(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)**<br>

ASC 606 provides guidance on proper recognition of principal versus agent considerations which is used to determine gross versus net revenue recognition. Under ASC 606, the core objective of the guidance on gross versus net revenue recognition is to help determine whether the Group is a principal or an agent in a transaction. In general, the primary difference between these two is the performance obligation being satisfied. The principal has a performance obligation to provide the desired goods or services to the end customer, whereas the agent arranges for the principal to provide the desired goods or services. Additionally, a fundamental characteristic of a principal in a transaction is control. A principal substantively controls the goods and services before they are transferred to the customer as well as controls the price of the good or service being provided. An agent normally receives a commission or fee for these activities. In addition to control, the level at which the Group controls the price of the good or service being transferred determines principal versus agent status. The more discretion over setting price the Group has in providing the good or service, the more likely it is considered a principal rather than an agent.

In certain cases, other parties are involved with providing products and services to the Group's customers. If the Group is principal in the transaction (providing goods or services itself), revenues are reported based on the gross consideration received from the customer and any related expenses are reported gross in non interest expense. If the Group is an agent in the transaction (arranging for another party to provide goods or services), the Group reports its net fee or commission retained as revenue.

Based on the contractual arrangements with customers, the Group acts as an agent on behalf of its customers by enabling customers to enter into long and short positions within the Group's omnibus accounts. The Group facilitates the purchase and sale of securities and securities and margin lending transactions through its platforms by routing purchases and sales transactions from its customers, including its market-making customer, through its prime brokers. All the customers, including the market-making customer, act on a principal basis and assume the associated market and counterparty risks of their respective positions. The Group does not act as a counterparty to its customers' buy or sell transactions but may provide them with margin loans and securities lending transactions. The Group's customers have control of the securities they transact on the Group's platforms, including those that collateralize margin loans, and, as a result, such securities are not presented on the Group's consolidated balance sheets.

**Impairment of Goodwill**

Goodwill allocated to reporting units, which are identified as the operating segments or one level below operating segments that generate separate financial information, is regularly reviewed by management. The assignment of goodwill to reporting units allows for the assessment of potential impairment at the appropriate level within the organization.

The Group has identified its reporting units based on its organizational and operational structure, as well as the level at which internal financial information is reviewed by management to make strategic decisions. We have the following reporting units: Banking, Insurance, Brokerage, and Other. The management team responsible for each unit reviews financial information related to such reporting unit, including revenue, expenses, and market trends.

Goodwill has been allocated to each reporting unit based on its relative fair value at the time of acquisition or significant triggering events. The fair value allocation of goodwill to reporting units is periodically reassessed to ensure alignment with the Group's evolving organizational structure and operational dynamics.

The Group conducts impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever indicators of potential impairment arise. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of each subsidiary, including its allocated goodwill, to its fair value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

Further details regarding the measurement of goodwill impairment and the results of impairment tests for each reporting unit are provided below.

The Group discloses information about its reporting units, the carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit, and the impairment losses recognized. The allocation of goodwill to reporting units ensures a focused evaluation of each unit's financial performance and facilitates the identification of potential impairment, enhancing the transparency and reliability of the Company's financial reporting.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, goodwill recorded in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $49,453 and $49,093, respectively.

The amount of goodwill at December 31, 2025 increased compared to March 31, 2025 primarily as a result of the acquisition of 100% interest in Astel Group Ltd. (renamed Freedom Cloud Holding Ltd. on January 8, 2026) by Freedom Telecom, according to preliminary results. Final valuation of Astel Group Ltd. was not completed. Excluding the impact of acquisition of Astel Group Ltd., goodwill decreased due to the effect of foreign currency translation and sale of Comrun LLP.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

As of December 31, 2025, the Group held debt securities of a single issuer that individually exceeded 10% of the Group's total investment securities - the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Fitch: BBB credit rating) in the amount of $1,813,340 and the Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund JSC (Fitch: BBB credit rating) in the amount of $534,099. Similarly, as of March 31, 2025, the Group held debt securities of two issuers each of which individually exceeded 10% of the Group's total investment securities - the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Fitch: BBB credit rating) in the amount of $1,527,340 and the Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund JSC (Fitch: BBB credit rating) in the amount of $578,862. The debt securities issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund JSC are categorized as non-US sovereign debt and corporate debt, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Group had $435 and $406 that was recognized as other-than-temporary impairment in accumulated other comprehensive income/loss.

The fair value of securities is determined using observable market data based on recent trading activity. Where observable market data is unavailable due to a lack of trading activity, the Group utilizes internally developed models to estimate fair value and independent third parties to validate assumptions, when appropriate. Estimating fair value requires significant management judgment, including benchmarking to similar instruments with observable market data and applying appropriate discounts that reflect differences between the securities that the Group is valuing and the selected benchmark. Depending on the type of securities owned by the Group, other valuation methodologies may be required.

Measurement of fair value is classified within a hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The valuation hierarchy contains three levels:

• Level 1 - Valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 - Valuation inputs are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other observable inputs directly or indirectly related to the asset or liability being measured.

• Level 3 - Valuation inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

**NOTE 6 – MARGIN LENDING, BROKERAGE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES, NET**

Margin lending, brokerage and other receivables as of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, consisted of:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** | **March 31, 2025** |

| **Total margin lending, brokerage and other receivables, net** | $**3010625** | $**3319145** |

Margin lending receivables are amounts owed to the Group from customers as a result of borrowings by such customers against the value of qualifying securities, primarily for the purpose of purchasing additional securities. Amounts may fluctuate from period to period as overall customer balances change as a result of market levels, customer positioning and leverage. Credit exposures arising from margin lending activities are generally mitigated by their short-term nature, the value of collateral held and the Group's right to call for margin when collateral values decline.

Collateral for margin lending receivables includes cash balances in customers' brokerage accounts and securities, adjusted for customers' off-balance sheet short positions, excluding the Company's own shares held by the clients in their brokerage accounts. As of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, the fair value of collateral held by the Group under margin loans was $8,498,497 and $6,379,368, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, the Company had two non-related party customers and three non-related party customers whose individual balances exceeded 10% of the total margin lending, brokerage, and other receivables balance, amounted to $1,797,094 and $2,323,461, respectively. The collateral held from these non-related party customers was valued at $1,958,145 and $3,218,277 as of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively.

For both individual and institutional brokerage customers, the Group may enter into arrangements for securities financing transactions in respect of financial instruments held by the Group on behalf of the customer or may use such financial instruments for our own account or the account of another customer. The Group maintains omnibus brokerage accounts for our customers, including institutional brokerage customers, in which transactions of these customers and the underlying customers of these institutional brokerage customers are combined in a single account with us. As noted above, the Group may use the assets within the omnibus accounts to finance, lend, provide credit or provide debt financing or otherwise use and direct the order or manner of assets for financing of other customers of ours. Where allowed by the regulations applicable to the Group, the Group may accept short sales from these institutional customers and as a result, the Group is only required to maintain positions with third party custodians for the net long positions in each security in the omnibus accounts.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, using actual, historical and statistical data, the Group recorded an allowance for brokerage and other receivables in the amounts of $18,104 and $19,256, respectively.

The Group provides mortgage loans to borrowers on behalf of the JSC Kazakhstan Sustainability Fund ("Program Operator") related to the state mortgage program "7-20-25" and transfers the rights of claim on the mortgage loans to the Program Operator. The proceeds received from these transfers are presented within funds received under state program for financing of mortgage loans in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Under this program, borrowers can receive a mortgage at an interest rate of 7% subject to not less than 20% down payment, for 25 years, and the interest payments received by the Group are recognized as interest income in the Group's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. In accordance with the program and trust management agreement for the program, Group services the transferred loans and remits all repayments of principal it receives plus 4.5% of the 7% interest received to the Program Operator. The interest paid to the Program Operator is recognized as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income. The remaining 2.5% of the 7% interest is retained by Group. Under the program and trust management agreement, Group is required to repurchase the rights to make claims on the transferred loans when either loan principal repayments or interest payments are overdue 90 days or more. The repurchase of overdue loans is performed at the loans' nominal value and is presented within repurchase of mortgage loans under the State Program in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Since the Group transfers the rights to make claims on the loans with recourse for loans that are more than 90 days past due, retains part of the interest received on the loans and agrees to service the loans after the sale of the loans to the Program Operator, the Group has determined that it retains control over the loans transferred and continues recognizing the loans, which are accounted for as secured borrowings of the Group in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. As the Group continues to recognize the loans as assets, it also recognizes the associated liability equal to the proceeds received from the Program Operator, which is presented separately as liability arising from continuing involvement in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This liability accrues 5% interest annually as described above. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the corresponding liability amounted to $520,397 and $503,705, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, mortgage loans include loans under the state mortgage program "7-20-25" with an aggregate principal amount of $529,205 and $511,851, respectively, were presented within loans issued in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Group historically entered into agreement with Microfinance Organization Freedom Finance Credit LLP ("FFIN Credit"), a company established and controlled by FRHC's controlling shareholder, chairman and chief executive officer, Timur Turlov, to purchase uncollateralized retail loans. FFIN Credit is a non-bank credit institution that issues loans in Kazakhstan under simplified lending procedures. FFIN Credit was created as a pilot project to test and improve the scoring models used for qualifying and issuing loans. The principal operation of FFIN Credit is to provide loans to customers online using biometric identification and its proprietary scoring process. Following the successful pilot, the Company considered either acquire FFIN Credit from Mr. Turlov or implement an in-house solution to replicate its functions, ensuring continuity and scalability of the lending operations.

Although the Group obtained legal title to uncollateralized retail loans purchased from FFIN Credit, the Group did not recognize such loans in its consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP, as the transactions did not qualify for sale accounting due to contractual provisions under which FFIN Credit retained the credit risk. Accordingly, the Group accounted for these arrangements as financing transactions similar to secured borrowing-type arrangement, recognizing loans receivable from FFIN Credit within loans issued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the underlying customer loans were treated as collateral.

Beginning in September 2025, the Company begun originating these loans through its banking subsidiary and discontinued the purchase of unsecured consumer loans from FFIN Credit.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, FFIN Credit and the Group agreed that FFIN Credit would make a compensation payment to the Group of approximately $23 million ($20 million discounted), payable over a period of up to two years. In exchange, the Company agreed to release FFIN Credit from the contractual provisions that provided credit protection to the Company covering a total of $215 million of outstanding loans at December 31, 2025. As a result of these modifications, the Group determined that it should recognize the loans previously purchased from FFIN Credit as of December 31, 2025 in the amount of $186 million.

**Credit quality indicators**

Freedom Bank KZ uses a loan portfolio quality classification system that indicates signs of a significant increase in credit risk and contractual impairment, depending on the analysis of reasonable and supportable information available at the reporting date. The loan portfolio is classified into "not credit impaired," "with significant increase in credit risk" and "credit impaired" agreements.

Loans "not credit impaired" under the agreement are serviced as usual, there are no primary signs of an increase in credit risk. Agreements classified as "with significant increase in credit risk" represent loans for which there is an increase in the credit risk expected over the life of the agreement compared to the initial risk at the date of recognition of the loan. In practice, the presence of overdue debt on principal and interest for a period of more than 30 days or the absolute probability of default threshold PD exceeds 20%. Agreements classified as "credit impaired" represent loans for which at the reporting date there are signs of impairment, the borrower has been in default for 90 or more days for individuals and 60 or more days for legal entities, the borrower for the last 6 months for individuals and 12 months for legal entities restructured the contract due to the deterioration of the financial condition, the borrower is recognized as credit impaired, the presence of a sign of default, a sign of bankruptcy, the deterioration of the financial performance of the borrower, the presence of other information indicating the presence of a high credit risk.

The table below presents the Group's loan portfolio by credit quality classification and origination year as of December 31, 2025. Current vintage disclosure is the requirement due to first adoption of ASC 326.

**NOTE 14 - FEE AND COMMISSION INCOME AND EXPENSE**

Fee and commission income is recognized when, or as, the Group satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Group determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Group's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Group expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Group considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any.

The Group's revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when the Group's performance obligations are satisfied at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such services. The majority of the Group's performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time and are typically collected from customers by debiting their brokerage account with the Group.

**Brokerage Services**

The Group earns commission revenue by executing, settling and clearing transactions with customers primarily in exchange-traded and over-the-counter financial instruments related to corporate equity and debt securities, money market instruments and exchange-traded options and futures contracts. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together, represent a single performance obligation, as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenue associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade date when the performance obligation is satisfied.

**Banking Services**

The Group earns revenue from two primary streams related to commissions from bank services:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Group earns banking commissions by executing customer orders for money transfer, purchase and sale of foreign currency, and other banking services. A substantial portion of the Group's revenue is derived from commissions from private customers through accounts with transaction-based pricing. Commission revenue is collected and recognized by the Company at a point in time at the execution of the order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interchange — The Group acts as an agent between customers and international payment systems, such as VISA and MasterCard. When using third-party payment platforms or networks, the Group is an agent for the payment processing services to retail customers and, therefore, revenue is recognized on a net basis, as the Group is not primarily responsible for fulfilling the payment processing on third parties' payment platforms/networks and has no discretion in establishing the selling price of the payment processing service to the retail customer on third party payment platforms/networks. Fees from customers using third-party payment platform are earned for processing debit card transactions.

The Group launched a cashback-based loyalty program, according to which cashbacks are provided for purchases made with bank's card, depending on the customer loyalty-level. If cash or another form of consideration provided to a customer, the Group reduces the transaction price. During the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Group netted its cashback incentives with bank services fee in the amount of $47.3 million and $102.3 million, respectively.

**Payment Processing**

------

*<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)<br>(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)**

The Group earns revenue from two primary streams related to payment processing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Commissions from payment processing services, which include activities such as authorization, clearing, and settlement of electronic payments. The Company recognizes revenue at the time when the payment card transaction is completed. Commission rates are based on the amounts of transactions. Fees are typically billed and paid monthly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provision of IT infrastructure to merchants to facilitate payments. The Company recognizes revenue at the time when the performance obligation is satisfied which is as soon as payments are facilitated. These services are typically provided under a commission rate from amounts of facilitated payments. Fees are typically billed and paid monthly.

**Underwriting and market-making services** 

The Group earns underwriting revenues by providing capital raising solutions for corporate customers through initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, equity-linked offerings, private investments in public entities, and private placements. Underwriting revenues are recognized at a point in time on the relevant placement date, as the customer obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point. These revenues are generally received within 90 days after the placement date. Transaction-related expenses, primarily consisting of legal, travel and other costs directly associated with the transaction, are included in underwriting revenues. These costs are deferred and recognized in the same period as the related investment banking transaction revenue. However, if the transaction is abandoned and does not close, the accounting treatment for the transaction-related costs may differ. In such cases, the accounting principles typically require the immediate recognition of the transaction-related expenses as an expense in the period in which the decision to abandon the transaction is made. This ensures that the costs associated with the abandoned transaction are recognized and reflected accurately in the financial statements of the entity.

**Receivables and Contract Balances**

Receivables arise when the Group has an unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer and are derecognized when the cash is received. Margin lending, brokerage and other receivables are disclosed in Note 6 "*Margin Lending, Brokerage and Other Receivables, Net*" in the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Contract assets arise when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized before the Group's unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer (i.e., unbilled receivable) and are derecognized when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 contract asset balances were not material.

Contract liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Group satisfying its performance obligations under the contract and are derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized either when a milestone is met triggering the contractual right to bill the customer or when the performance obligation is satisfied. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 contract liability balances were not material.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 fee and commission income was comprised of:

**NOTE 21 – LEASES**

At December 31, 2025, the Group was obligated under a number of noncancellable leases, predominantly operating leases of office space, which expire at various dates through 2034. The Group's primary involvement with leases is in the capacity as a lessee where a Group leases premises to support its business.

The Group determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Operating lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The future lease payments are discounted at a rate that estimates the Company's collateralized borrowing rate for financing instruments of a similar term and are included in accounts payable and other liabilities. The operating lease ROU asset, included in premises and equipment, also includes any lease prepayments made, plus initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. The Company recognizes fixed lease costs on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Certain of these leases also have extension or termination options,

**FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.<br>NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)<br>(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)**

and the Company assesses the likelihood of exercising such options. If it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the options to extend, then we include the impact in the measurement of our ROU assets and lease liabilities.

When readily determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, the rate implicit on most of the Group's leases are not readily determinable. Therefore, the Company must discount lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025:

**NOTE 23 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES**

*Legal, regulatory and governmental matters*

The Group is involved in various claims and legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. The Group recognizes a liability when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Group does not record a liability but discloses the nature and amount of the claim, as well as an estimate of the potential loss, if such an estimate can be determined. Legal fees are recorded as expenses when incurred. While the Group does not anticipate that the resolution of any current claims or proceedings will significantly impact its financial position, an adverse outcome in some or all of these cases could materially affect the Group's results of operations or cash flows for specific periods. For many of the matters involving the Group, particularly those in early stages, we cannot reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss (or range of loss), if any. In addition, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings involves judgments and inherent uncertainties and cannot be predicted with certainty. This assessment is based on the Group's current understanding of relevant facts and circumstances, and the Group's perspective on these matters may evolve with future developments.

Since 2021, the Company and certain officers and directors have received several document subpoenas, document requests and subpoenas and requests for testimony from the SEC's Division of Enforcement. The requested information relates to a number of topics, including the settlement practices and relationships with certain institutional market makers of certain of non-U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries, and has included our accounting practices, disclosures, and internal controls. The matter is ongoing, and the Company is cooperating with the SEC. The Company face risks and uncertainties relating to the duration, outcome or impact of the inquiry on its business, including the amount of any fines or other penalties. Any of the foregoing could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect, the Company's reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, and cash flows.

The Group accounts for potential losses related to litigation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, "Contingencies." As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, accruals for potential losses related to legal, regulatory and governmental actions and proceedings were not material.

*Einride arbitration case*

In January 2025, Einride AB, a limited liability company based in Stockholm, Sweden, specializing in electric and self-driving vehicle technologies ("Einride"), filed a request for arbitration and statement of claim with the SCC Arbitration Institute against the Company (the "Claim"). The Claim is related to the Einride's raising of a convertible loan through subscription to its convertible debentures. The Claim alleges that the Company failed to pay to subscribe for a nominal convertible debenture amount of $10,000, allegedly in breach of a Subscription Commitment signed between Einride and the Company in 2024. Einride seeks monetary damages in the amount of $10,000, together with applicable interest and legal costs. The Company contests the Claim and the relief sought by Einride. The arbitration is being administered under the SCC Arbitration Rules. The arbitration tribunal has been formed. Einride has filed its statement of claim, followed by the Company's statement of defense and Einride's statement of reply. Further submissions and other procedural steps, including hearings, are expected in due course. According to the agreed procedural timeline, the final award is preliminarily scheduled to be issued in May 2026.

*Employment disputes* 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company became involved in certain additional claims, complaints and legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including employment-related matters. The Company believes the complaints are without merit and is currently defending against the allegations. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, related to these matters, and accordingly no provision has been recorded.

*Off-balance sheet financial instruments*

Freedom Bank KZ is a party to certain off-balance sheet financial instruments. These financial instruments include guarantees and unused commitments under existing lines of credit. These commitments expose the Group to varying degrees of credit and market risk which are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers, and are

*<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

**FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.<br>NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)<br>(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, except share data, unless otherwise stated)**

subject to the same credit policies used in underwriting loans. Collateral may be obtained based on Freedom Bank KZ's credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Group's maximum exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

*Unused commitments under lines of credit* 

Unused commitments under lines of credit include commercial, commercial real estate, home equity and consumer lines of credit to existing customers. These commitments may mature without being fully funded.

*Unused commitments under guarantees*

Unused commitments under guarantees are conditional commitments issued by Freedom Bank KZ to provide bank guarantees to customers. These commitments may mature without being fully funded.

*Bank guarantees*

Bank guarantees are conditional commitments issued by Freedom Bank KZ to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support trade transactions or guarantee arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. A significant portion of the issued guarantees are collateralized by cash. Total lending related commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **As of December 31, 2025** | **As of March 31, 2025** |
| Unused commitments under lines of credits and guarantees | $233836 | $44239 |
| Bank guarantees | 42854 | 15039 |
| **Total** | $**276690** | $**59278** |

---

*Capital expenditure commitments*

As of December 31, 2025, the Group had contractual capital expenditure commitments of up to $112,324 related to Freedom Telecom Operations Ltd. for equipment and software acquisition. These commitments are expected to be settled under the relevant agreements within the 5-year period and fall within the scope of the Group's ordinary capital investment activities.

**NOTE 25 - STATUTORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company has two insurance subsidiaries operating in Kazakhstan: Freedom Life (a regulated life insurer) and Freedom Insurance (a regulated property and casualty insurance entity). The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 126-II "On Insurance Activities" (the "Insurance Law") is the main law regulating the insurance sector in Kazakhstan. It establishes a framework for insurance activities, registration and licensing of insurance companies and regulation of insurance activities by the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of Financial Market ("ARDFM").

Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance are required by ARDFM to notify it of any proposal to declare or pay a dividend on its share capital, and the ARDFM may, following the notification, decide to restrict such proposal. The amount of dividends these subsidiaries are permitted to declare is limited to the relevant subsidiary's realized retained earnings and dividends can only be paid to the extent they will not cause a breach to the minimum solvency and capital requirements of the relevant subsidiary. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance were in compliance with the ARDFM dividend, minimum solvency and minimum capital requirements. Freedom KZ in its capacity of an insurance holding is also limited in declaration and payment of dividends if such payment leads to breach of capital ratios applicable to Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance.

There are no significant differences between the statutory accounting practices and statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the insurance subsidiaries.

In addition, our subsidiaries operate under various securities brokerage, banking and financial services regulations and must maintain such licenses in order to conduct their operations. As of December 31, 2025, we, through our subsidiaries, held: (a) brokerage licenses (i) in Kazakhstan issued by the NBK and the Astana Financial Services Authority (the "AFSA"), (ii) in Cyprus issued by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission ("CySEC"), (iii) in the United States issued by FINRA, (iv) in Armenia issued by the Central Bank of Armenia, (v) in Uzbekistan issued by the Center of Coordination and Development of Securities Market, (vi) in Kyrgyzstan issued by the Financial Market Regulatory and Supervision Service under the Ministry of Economy and Сommerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, and (vii) in UAE issued by the Abu Dhabi Global Market Financial Services Regulatory Authority; (b) a banking license for foreign currency operations in Kazakhstan issued by the ARDFM; (c) banking licenses (i) in Kazakhstan for corporate and retail banking services issued by the ARDFM (including for currency exchange operations), and (ii) in Tajikistan issued by the National Bank of Tajikistan; (d) a payment service provider in Kazakhstan registered in such capacity with the NBK, payment services providers in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan holding licenses from the Central Bank of Uzbekistan and the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, respectively; and (e) a securities portfolio management license in Tajikistan issued by the Ministry of Finance of Tajikistan. Our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary is subject to regulatory oversight by U.S. authorities, including the SEC and FINRA, with respect to its brokerage and investment advisory activities in the U.S. In addition, following receipt of a principal approval by the Turkey's financial regulatory and supervisory authority granted on January 9, 2025, we are in the process of obtaining a license to provide brokerage services in Turkey.

The table below presents net capital/eligible equity, required minimum capital, excess regulatory capital and retained earnings as of December 31, 2025 for the Company and each of subsidiaries that are regulated entities that is material for our consolidated financial statements.

According to the requirements of the NBK, the regulator of Freedom KZ and Freedom Life, capital is adjusted through subtraction of non-liquid assets. Consequently, net capital for regulatory purposes may be lower than retained earnings balances. For the purposes of capital requirements applicable to Freedom EU, which is regulated by the CySEC and Freedom Global regulated by Astana Financial Services Authority, current year profit is not included within net capital for regulatory purposes, as profits can only be included in net capital after a statutory audit is completed.

The table below presents net capital/eligible equity, required minimum capital, excess regulatory capital and retained earnings as of March 31, 2025 for each of our subsidiaries that are regulated entities that is material for our consolidated financial statements.

***Banking Segment***

Our Banking segment consists of the operations of Freedom Bank KZ and Freedom Bank TJ.

Freedom Bank KZ is a pioneer in digital retail and commercial banking services in Kazakhstan, offering deposits, multi-currency payment cards, consumer and SME loans, payment and acquiring solutions. The bank extends our capital market heritage into everyday finance, providing the funding, payments and credit backbone of the wider Freedom ecosystem. Our Freedom Bank TJ obtained its banking license on October 15, 2024 and continues the phased rollout of its operations. We are also considering plans for expanding our banking segment to other jurisdictions which is contingent upon, among other factors, prevailing market conditions and obtaining the required regulatory approvals.

As of December 31, 2025, Freedom Bank KZ's assets increased by 13%. In particular, trading portfolio decreased by 13%, held-to-maturity portfolio increased by 544%, loan portfolio increased by 23%, deposit portfolio increased by 30%, in each case in comparison with March 31, 2025. The increase in the loan and deposit portfolios reflects continued customer demand and growth in our banking services, while the decline in trading portfolio aligns with our strategic focus on core banking operations.

We have 39 office locations in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan that provide banking services to our customers. As of December 31, 2025, we had 3,764 employees in our Banking segment, all of which were full-time employees.

***Insurance Segment*** 

We have two insurance companies in Kazakhstan, a life insurance company, Freedom Life, and a direct insurance carrier, excluding life, health and medical, Freedom Insurance.

Freedom Life provides a range of health and life insurance products to individuals and businesses, including life insurance, health insurance, annuity insurance, accident insurance, obligatory worker emergency insurance, travel insurance and reinsurance. As of December 31, 2025, Freedom Life had 329,167 active contracts, as compared to 1,038,516 active contracts as of March 31, 2025. "Active contracts" refers to insurance policies that are currently in force, meaning they have been issued and are not expired, canceled, or otherwise inactive as of the reporting date. The decrease in active contracts was due to the newly introduced regulatory cap on commissions to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. As of December 31, 2025, Freedom Life had total assets of approximately $597.5 million and total liabilities of approximately $462.5 million, as compared to total assets of approximately $554 million and total liabilities of approximately $465.9 million as of March 31, 2025.

Freedom Insurance operates in the "general insurance" industry and is the leader in online insurance in Kazakhstan offering various general insurance products in property (including automobile), casualty, civil liability, personal insurance and reinsurance. As of December 31, 2025, Freedom Insurance had 1,383,501 active contracts, as compared to 824,838 active contracts as of March 31, 2025.

***Digital Fintech Ecosystem***

We operate as a single ecosystem that delivers multicurrency banking, payments, credit, brokerage, insurance, merchant acquiring and selected lifestyle services through one login and interface. Each service is built to interoperate with the others - balances transfer instantly, loyalty rewards accrue across products and customer data is captured only once, so the combined offering is more useful to customers and more efficient for us.

Our operating entities share customer transaction flows, interactions and profile updates to big data that is also enriched by our integration with government services. Predictive AI models built on this consolidated record set help us personalize our products and services reaching the combined effect of smarter targeting, faster fulfillment and fewer manual touch-points which lowers acquisition cost and raises both customer lifetime value and retention.

The Freedom SuperApp ("Freedom SuperApp" or "SuperApp") is the Group's front end for all retail services. A single sign-on process and biometric authentication grant access to multi-currency accounts, credit, investment, card management and lifestyle commerce. All modules are built on a micro-services architecture with open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to nearly one hundred government and commercial data sources.

The SuperApp supports accounts and payments in KZT, multiple foreign currencies and Freedom Currency, an exchange-traded note linked to the performance of FRHC common stock. Our app provides our customers with a loyalty and referral program, access to a lifestyle marketplace including ticketing (cinema, concerts via Ticketon), travel bookings (Freedom Travel), media content (Freedom Media), grocery delivery (Arbuz) and on-demand home services (Naimi), auto accessories and tires (Freedom Drive), mobile phones and electronic devices (Freedom Mobile), e-SIM cards, and a digital pharmacy. The app also integrates customer wealth information into a real-time net-worth view generating secured-loan offers where collateral is available. In addition, it enables customers to automatically complete and file certain individual tax declarations required by Kazakhstan law. All our core lending lines operate on the same end-to-end digital rail inside the SuperApp, enabling our eligible customers to obtain digital mortgage loans and consumer digital auto loans in a streamlined, automated way.

Freedom Bank issues a vertically integrated suite of Visa and Mastercard products, all of which are opened, funded, and managed within the SuperApp, with some cards also customizable based on customer preferences. By using our cards, customers gain access to a range of services, including multi-currency debit balances (SuperCard), investment opportunities through brokerage accounts (Invest Card), and enhanced service levels with exclusive benefits (Premium Deposit Cards).

In alignment with our digital fintech ecosystem strategy, we are expanding our business by entering the telecommunications market in Kazakhstan and regional media industry in Central Asia. We are seeking to establish a new independent telecommunications operator in Kazakhstan to provide a diverse range of telecommunications and telecommunications-related services to customers which may include, among others, high-quality internet connectivity, fixed wireless access (FWA), WiFi access, over-the-top (OTT) streaming, internet protocol television (IPTV), traffic transit for operators and cloud solutions, subject to obtaining applicable licenses, acquisitions of telecom assets or entering into partnerships where required. Our new telecommunications business in Kazakhstan is operated by Freedom Telecom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp., incorporated under the laws of the AIFC. As Freedom Telecom represents a new line of business, its strategy and budget are evolving dynamically in response to internal developments and external market factors, which may result in material adjustments. Our telecom services will be offered as a separate product and in a bundle with our other digital products and services and will expand the ecosystem's reach to areas where traditional banking channels are less efficient. Through entities incorporated under the AIFC laws, we also operate Freedom Cloud that was structured during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 as a standalone business line. Freedom Cloud is an essential component of our digital ecosystem that delivers advanced cloud infrastructure and related services both within the Group and to external clients, including major enterprises and government entities.

In November 2025, the Company entered into a non-binding arrangement with the Kazakhstan Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development providing for potential collaboration on the development of a $2 billion Sovereign AI Hub in Kazakhstan. The proposed AI Hub is to utilize NVIDIA's latest computing architecture and be located at a site in Kazakhstan with 100 MW of available power, with the Company acting as the principal financing and implementation partner. In addition to strengthening Kazakhstan's position in the global AI landscape, the initiative may enhance the Company's competitiveness in AI innovation and support its long-term growth strategy.

During fiscal 2024, we established Freedom Media as a subsidiary of Freedom Telecom that is intended to become a major Kazakhstan media platform offering tailored streaming services to the Kazakhstan market and, potentially, the broader Central Asian region. Freedom Media is built within the Freedom ecosystem to provide unlimited access to a diverse collection of TV shows, movies, documentaries, and an exclusive content of multiple genres that is produced in-house.

**FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS**

The highlights of our consolidated results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

We had total revenues, net of $628.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $664.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease between the two quarters was primarily attributable to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $106.9 million, a decrease of $70.5 million or 40%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower written insurance premiums as a result of the regulatory cap on commissions paid to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We had a net gain on trading securities of $43.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net gain on trading securities of $89.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The change was attributable mainly due to the decline in the value of securities positions we held as of December 31, 2025, partially offset by gains from the sale of Kazakhstan sovereign bonds during the three months ended December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our fee and commission income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $126.1 million, an decrease of $17.3 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower income from banking services and payment processing, partially offset by higher fee and commission income from brokerage services and agency fees. The decrease in fee and commission from banking services was primarily driven by active use by our customers of a cashback-based loyalty program, with cashback amounts reflected as a reduction of banking service revenue.

We had total expense of $534.7 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $566.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to decreases in fee and commission expense, insurance claims incurred (net of reinsurance), allowance for expected credit losses, advertising and sponsorship expense, and interest expense.

We had net income of $76.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $78.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Our Brokerage, Banking, Insurance, and Other segments contributed net income of $81.0 million, net income of $79.6 million, net income of $23.6 million and net loss of $108.0 million, respectively, to our total net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025.

Our total assets increased to $12.4 billion as of December 31, 2025 from $9.9 billion as of March 31, 2025.

The operating results for any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

Fee and commission income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $126.1 million, reflecting a decrease of $17.3 million or 12% compared to $143.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by several factors, as discussed below.

Fee and commission income from brokerage services was $126.2 million, representing a 6% increase from $118.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. This growth was primarily due to an increase in the number of retail brokerage customers from 618,000 as of December 31, 2024 to 828,000 as of December 31, 2025. During the three months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we earned fee and commission income from a market maker customer at our subsidiary Freedom Global of $85.6 million and $77.4 million, representing 68% and 54%, respectively, of our total fee and commission income for that period.

Fee and commission income from payment processing decreased to $6.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $7.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The $0.9 million decrease is attributable to a decrease in our average acquiring rate and overall decline in transaction turnover during those periods.

Fee and commission income from underwriting and market-making services increased to $5.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher underwriting activity and improved market-making volumes during the period.

Fee and commission income from banking services decreased by $27.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025 from $8.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by active use by our customers of a cashback-based loyalty program, with cashback amounts reflected as a reduction of banking service revenue. As part of our strategic approach, we do not prioritize revenue generation from banking service commissions. Instead, the loyalty program is leveraged to effectively reduce transaction costs for customers by supporting our customer base expansion and increasing engagement across the ecosystem.

***Net gain on trading securities*** 

We had a net gain on trading securities of $43.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $46.1 million as compared to a net gain of $89.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had a realized gain on trading securities of $52.3 million. The gain primarily reflected our active portfolio management strategy, which mostly attributable to the sale of Kazakhstani corporate debts at favorable market prices following a short-term rally in the local debt market. However, we also incurred an

unrealized net loss of $8.8 million during the same period due to the decline in the value of securities positions we held as of December 31, 2025.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we had a realized gain on trading securities of $15.0 million, which is attributable to Kazakhstan sovereign bonds sold during the three months ended December 31, 2024. Also, we recognized an unrealized net gain of $74.6 million during the same period due to an increase in the value of securities positions we held as of December 31, 2024. The majority of the unrealized net gain is attributable to Kazakhstan sovereign bonds.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had interest income of $228.8 million, representing an increase of $4.1 million, or 2%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $24.1 million increase in interest income on loans to customers due to the increase of the loan portfolio. Additionally, interest income on held-to-maturity securities increased by $19.3 million due to the increase of the held-to-maturity portfolio. Interest income on margin loans to customers increased by $12.6 million, or 21% reflecting higher customer activity in margin lending. Increase in interest income was partially offset by decrease in interest income on trading securities.

The interest income on securities available-for-sale increased by $3.8 million, or 34%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. Such increase was due to the increase of volume of available-for-sale securities which is attributable to the purchase of debt securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. We also experienced a $54.7 million, or 57%, decrease in interest income on trading securities. This decrease was primarily due to a lower volume of trading securities held during the period.

Interest income on margin loans to customers includes income accrued on off-balance sheet arrangements. The monthly average balance of these arrangements is not included in the table above. These off-balance sheet arrangements mainly included repurchase agreements of our brokerage customers. Therefore, as of September 30, 2024, the monthly average balance of off-balance sheet arrangements was $688.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 8%. Following that date, we had no such off-balance sheet arrangements on which we charge an interest. As of December 31, 2025, the monthly average balance of margin loans to customers was $— million and the weighted average interest rates was 0%.

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

***Insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance of $106.9 million, a decrease of $70.5 million, or 40%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $73.1 million, or 41%, decrease in written insurance premiums due to the regulatory cap on commissions to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period. This decrease in income from written insurance premiums was partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in change in unearned premium reserve, net for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The following table sets out information on our insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance for the periods presented.

***Net gain on foreign exchange operations***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we realized a net gain on foreign exchange operations of $45.8 million compared to a net gain of $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the translation gain in the amount of $41.9 million which is mainly attributable to the 8% strengthening of Kazakhstan tenge against US dollar and other currencies. There was also a $3.9 million gain on dealing transactions in three months ended December 31, 2025 compared with a $23.2 million gain for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is mainly attributable to Freedom Bank KZ, which had a gain of $3.9 million from foreign currency dealings for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $23.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

***Net gain on derivatives***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had net gain on derivatives of $26.5 million compared to a net gain of $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to our subsidiary FSP, which had a unrealized net gain of $8.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. There was also an increased volume of swap turnover from Freedom KZ, resulting in a $8.6 million realized gain in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to a $1.1 million gain in three months ended December 31, 2024.

Fee and commission expense decreased by $60.2 million, or 64%, in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a $64.2 million in agency

fee service expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, driven by regulatory cap on commissions paid to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period. Additionally, the decrease was partially offset by $2.2 million increase in bank services expense during the period, reflecting the continued expansion of our customer base and the growing volume of card transactions within our ecosystem.

***Interest expense***

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, total interest expense amounted to $127.9 million, representing a decrease of $3.2 million, or 2%, compared to $131.1 million for the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by changes in average balances and average interest rates across several funding sources.

There was a decrease in interest expense on securities repurchase agreement obligations, driven by a 51% decline in the average balance, from $2.4 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $1.2 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2025. This decrease primarily reflects the Group's strategic decision to reduce exposure to market risk by liquidating a portion of the trading portfolio, which historically has been primarily funded through repurchase agreements. As a result, the need for repurchase agreements financing declined, leading to both lower average balances and reduced interest expense.

Interest expense on customer liabilities increased to $54.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $27.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was driven by the growth of customer deposit base reflecting the continued expansion of the Group's banking segment.

Interest expense on debt securities issued increased to $24.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $10.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the placement of several new debt securities between the two periods.

***Insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance, decreased by $26.6 million, or 25%, to $77.9 million, as compared to $104.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $52.0 million, or 70%, reduction in change to in insurance reserves to $22.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $74.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

This reduction in reserve activity was largely attributable to the decrease in insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance, during the period, which resulted in lower insured exposure and a corresponding decline in insurance claims incurred. The decrease did not reflect material changes in underlying loss assumptions or reserving methodologies. This was partially offset by higher claims paid, which increased by $28.3 million, or 261%, to $39.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and by a $4.9 million, or 26%, increase in other insurance net expense to $24.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the reinsurance offset was higher, with reinsurers' share of claims paid totaling $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

***Payroll and bonuses***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had payroll and bonuses expense of $124.1 million, representing an increase of $46.7 million or 60% compared to payroll and bonuses expense of $77.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in payroll and bonus expenses was driven by the expansion of our workforce through hiring, the establishment of new subsidiaries and acquisitions, as well as higher salary and bonus amounts between the two periods.

***Professional services***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, our professional services expense was $16.0 million, representing an increase of $5.0 million, or 46%, compared to $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in expenses for auditing services rendered by our external auditors due to timing differences in the provision of such services.

***Stock compensation expense***

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, our stock compensation expense was $15.4 million, representing an increase of $1.9 million compared to stock compensation expense of $13.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase is attributable to new stock grants awarded and the partial amortization of stock grants which were awarded during 2026, 2025 and 2024 fiscal years.

***Advertising and sponsorship expense***

Advertising and sponsorship expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $36.6 million, representing a decrease of $4.4 million, or 11%, compared to $41.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

The decrease was primarily driven by a $4.2 million reduction in advertising expenditures by Freedom EU, mainly due to the timing of marketing campaigns, as well as a decline in sponsorship expenses compared to the prior fiscal year. The Company continued to support socially significant initiatives through contributions to the Kazakhstan Chess Federation, the Junior Football League of Kazakhstan, and other community programs, reaffirming its commitment to the development of sports, education, and social well-being.

***General and administrative expense***

General and administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was $71.4 million, representing an increase of $17.5 million or 33% compared to general and administrative expense of $53.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The main factors contributing to the increase were increases in other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, business travel, taxes other than income tax, lease depreciation and software support. Other operating expenses increased by $4.9 million, primarily due to increased banking and overhead costs from Freedom Bank KZ, as well as the overall growth of our operations. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by $3.7 million, was caused by planned increase in fixed assets of Freedom Bank KZ. The increase in business travel expenses increased in amount of $2.9 million, primarily resulted from increased travel activity supporting expanded operational and strategic initiatives across multiple regions. Taxes, other than income tax, increased by $1.9 million, mainly due to the continued growth of our operations, including the addition of new subsidiaries. Lease depreciation increased by $1.4 million, driven by business expansion and acquisition of additional office and retail space. Software support expenses increased by $1.1 million, mainly due to the incurring support services with respect to of licensed and other software systems.

***Provision for allowance for expected credit losses***

We recognized provision for allowance for credit losses in the amount of $6.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to provision for allowance for credit losses of $30.6 million for the three months ended

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

December 31, 2024. The decrease in the provision during the period was primarily driven by lower provisions relating to purchased retail loans, loans to SME and mortgage loans, reflecting improved macroeconomic conditions and other factors that reduced the estimated probability of default across our loan portfolio, as well as the incorporation of updated forward-looking information.

***Income tax expense***

We had income before income tax of $93.9 million and $98.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 was $17.7 million and $20.2 million, respectively. While there have been a decrease in our income before income tax between the two quarters, the increase in the income tax expense was primarily due to the change in our effective tax rate. Such rate during the three months ended December 31, 2025, decreased to 18.9%, from 20.5% during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The main factor of the change in effective tax rate was, that decrease occurred as a result of changes in the composition of the revenues we realized from our operating activities, the tax treatment of those revenues in the various jurisdictions where our subsidiaries operate, and the incremental U.S. GILTI tax. In addition, total decrease has been partially offset with the fact, that during the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had accrued additional top-up tax resulted from Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two), which have been enacted in certain jurisdictions where our subsidiaries operate.

**Net income**

As a result of the foregoing factors, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, we had net income of $76.2 million compared to $78.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 2%.

**Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax** 

Due to a 7.9% appreciation of the Kazakhstan tenge against the U.S. dollar during the three months ended December 31, 2025, we realized a foreign currency translation gain of $87.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 since most of our companies use the Kazakhstan tenge as their functional currency, as compared to a foreign currency translation loss of $101.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Fee and commission income for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $366.0 million, reflecting a decrease of $14.0 million or 4% compared to $380.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was driven by multiple factors, including the factors discussed below.

Fee and commission income from brokerage services was $366.7 million, representing a 15% increase from $319.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This growth was primarily due to an increase in the number of retail brokerage customers from 618,000 as of December 31, 2024 to 828,000 as of December 31, 2025. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we earned fee and commission income from a market maker customer at our subsidiary Freedom Global of $255.1 million and $213.6 million, representing 70% and 56%, respectively, of our total fee and commission income for that period.

Fee and commission income from payment processing decreased to $17.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 from $21.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The $4.4 million decrease is attributable to a decrease in our average acquiring rate and overall decline in transaction turnover during the period.

Fee and commission income from banking services decreased by $60.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 from $12.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by active use by our customers of a cashback-based loyalty program, with cashback amounts reflected as a reduction of banking service revenue. As part of our strategic approach, we do not prioritize revenue generation from banking service commissions. Instead, the loyalty program is leveraged to effectively reduce transaction costs for customers by supporting our customer base expansion and increasing engagement across the ecosystem.

***Net gain on trading securities*** 

We had a net gain on trading securities of $126.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $20.4 million as compared to a net gain of $105.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had a realized gain on trading securities of $126.2 million, which is mostly attributable to Kazakhstani corporate debt securities sold during the nine months ended December 31, 2025. Also, we recognized an unrealized net gain of $21.1 million during the same period due to an increase in the value of securities positions we held as of December 31, 2025. The majority of the unrealized net gain is attributable to Kazakhstan sovereign bonds.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we had a realized gain on trading securities of $30.3 million, which is attributable to Kazakhstan sovereign bonds sold during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Also, we recognized an unrealized net gain of $75.5 million during the same period due to the increase in the value of securities positions we held as of December 31, 2024. The majority of the unrealized net gain is attributable to Kazakhstan sovereign bonds, as a consequence of market price increase.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had interest income of $639.0 million, representing a decrease of $22.0 million, or 3%, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $176.6 million, or 57%, decrease in interest income on trading securities. This decrease was primarily due to a lower volume of trading securities held during the period.

This decline was partially offset by increase in other streams of interest income. Specifically, interest income on loans to customers increased by $50.7 million, or 33%, due to the increase in loan portfolio. Similarly, interest income on margin loans to customers rose by $53.8 million, or 35%, reflecting increased customer activity in margin lending. The interest income on held-to-maturity has increased by $39.8 million due to expansion of the held-to-maturity portfolio.

Additionally, the interest income on securities available-for-sale increased by $13.6 million, or 48%, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Such increase was due to the increase of volume of available-for-sale securities which is attributable to the purchase of debt securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Interest income on margin loans to customers includes income accrued on off-balance sheet arrangements. The monthly average balance of these arrangements is not included in the table above. These off-balance sheet arrangements mainly included repurchase agreements of our brokerage customers. As of September 30, 2024, the monthly average balance of off-balance sheet arrangements was $688.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 8%. Following that date, we had no such off-balance sheet arrangements on which we charge an interest. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the monthly average balance of margin loans to customers was $— million and the weighted average interest rates was 0%.

***Insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had insurance premiums earned, net of reinsurance of $385.4 million, a decrease of $81.8 million, or 18%, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $88.5 million, or 18%, decrease in written insurance premiums due to the regulatory cap on commissions to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period. This decrease in income from written insurance premiums was partially offset by a $4.4 million increase in change in unearned premium reserve, net and $2.3 million increase in reinsurance premiums ceded for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

***Net gain on foreign exchange operations***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we realized a net gain on foreign exchange operations of $32.9 million compared to a net gain of $18.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily due to the $54.9 million gain on dealing transactions. This gain was partially offset by a translation loss in the amount of $22.0 million which is mainly attributable to the weakening of Kazakhstan tenge against US dollar by 0.2%. The net increase is mostly attributable to Freedom Bank KZ which had a net gain on foreign exchange operations of $29.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

***Net gain on derivatives&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had net gain on derivatives of $38.8 million compared to a net gain of $30.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the increase in realized gain from Freedom KZ from $2.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 to $8.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 due to the increased volume of swap turnover between two periods. There was also an increase in net gain attributable to our subsidiary, FSP, of $5.9 million, resulting from the revaluation of structured products during the nine months ended December 31, 2025.

Fee and commission expense decreased by $82.2 million, or 31% in the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a $95.9 million decrease in agency fee expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024, driven by the regulatory cap on commissions paid to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period. Additionally, the decrease was partially offset $10.9 million increase in bank services expense increased during the period, reflecting the continued expansion of our customer base and the growing volume of card transactions within our ecosystem.

***Interest expense***

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total interest expense amounted to $343.6 million, representing a decrease of $57.9 million, or 14%, compared to $401.5 million for the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by changes in average balances and average interest rates across several funding sources.

There was a decrease in interest expense on securities repurchase agreement obligations, driven by a 44% decline in the average balance, from $2.5 billion during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 to $1.4 billion during the nine months ended December 31, 2025. This decrease primarily reflects the Company's strategic decision to reduce exposure to market risk by liquidating a portion of the trading portfolio, which historically has been primarily funded through repurchase agreements. As a result, the need for repurchase agreements financing declined, leading to both lower average balances and reduced interest expense.

Interest expense on customer liabilities increased to $136.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $74.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was driven by the growth of customer deposit base reflecting the continued expansion of the Company's banking segment.

Interest expense on debt securities issued increased to $55.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $23.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the placement of several new debt securities between the two periods. The impact of the higher balance was partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate from 10.1% to 9.7%. The increase in debt issuance reflects the Company's long-term funding and investment strategy.

***Insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased by $19.6 million, or 9%, to $238.1 million compared with $218.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher claims paid, which rose by $57.4 million, or 212%, to $84.5 million, and by an $18.2 million, or 38%, increase in other insurance net expense to $66.0 million, reflecting higher redemptions/settlements under compulsory

motor third-party liability (MTPL) policies as the insurance portfolio expanded. These impacts were partially offset by a $43.0 million, or 30%, decrease in the change in insurance reserves and higher reinsurance recoveries, with reinsurers' share of claims paid increasing by $12.9 million to $15.2 million.

***Payroll and bonuses***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had payroll and bonuses expense of $310.3 million, representing an increase of $109.2 million or 54% compared to payroll and bonuses expense of $201.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in payroll and bonus expenses is primarily attributable the expansion of our workforce through hiring, establishment of new subsidiaries and acquisitions. The increase was also due to increased salary and bonus amounts between the two periods.

***Professional services***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, our professional services expense was $39.5 million, representing a increase by $13.0 million or 49% compared to $26.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in expenses for auditing services rendered by our external auditors due to timing differences in the provision of such services. The increase was also attributable to higher legal fees.

***Stock compensation expense***

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, our stock compensation expense was $53.9 million, representing an increase of $17.8 million compared to stock compensation expense of $36.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase is attributable to new stock grants awarded and the partial amortization of stock grants which were awarded during 2026, 2025 and 2024 fiscal years.

***Advertising and sponsorship expense***

Advertising and sponsorship expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was $88.6 million, representing a decrease for $6.8 million or 7%, compared to $95.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by an $12.7 million reduction in advertising expenditures by Freedom EU, mainly due to the seasonal nature and timing of marketing campaigns. This was partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in expenses attributable to Freedom Advertising, an advertising company, primarily related to payments to external contractors for advertisement placement and promotion. In addition, Freedom Bank KZ recorded higher advertising costs, mainly driven by the implementation of the "Blogger Race" marketing campaign, aimed at promoting our SuperApp and enhancing its visibility across social media. The Company continued to support socially significant initiatives through contributions to the Kazakhstan Chess Federation, the Junior Football League of Kazakhstan, and other community programs, reaffirming its commitment to the development of sports, education, and social well-being.

***General and administrative expense***

General and administrative expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was $158.9 million, representing an increase of $23.8 million or 18% compared to general and administrative expense of $135.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The main factors contributing to the increase were increases in other operating expenses, business trips, and depreciation and amortization expenses. The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by $8.0 million, was caused by planned increase in fixed assets of Freedom Bank KZ. Business travel expenses increased by $7.2 million due to increased travel activity supporting expanded operational and strategic initiatives across multiple regions. Other operating expenses increased by $5.5 million, primarily due to increased banking and overhead costs from Freedom Bank KZ, as well as the overall growth of our operations.

***Provision for allowance for expected credit losses***

We recognized provision for allowance for credit losses in the amount of $23.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to provision for allowance for credit losses of $39.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in the provision during the period was primarily driven by lower provisions for mortgage loans and loans to SME, reflecting improved macroeconomic conditions and other factors that reduced the estimated probability of default across our loan portfolio, as well as the incorporation of updated forward-looking information.

***Income tax expense***

------

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

We had income before income tax of $194.9 million and $268.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 , and December 31, 2024, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 was $49.6 million and $41.5 million, respectively. While there have been a decrease in our income before income tax between the two quarters, the increase in the income tax expense was primarily due to the change in our effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, increased to 25.4%, from 15.5% during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The main factor of an increase was the change in Kazakhstani tax legislation. The change has been enacted during July 2025 with the retrospective effect from calendar 2025. The key change affecting the Company's tax position is the introduction of a 10% income tax on interest income and realized capital gains from Kazakhstani sovereign securities, which are now subject to taxation within a separate income category. Another reason of the increase in effective tax rate was changes in the composition of the revenues we realized from our operating activities, the tax treatment of those revenues in the various jurisdictions where our subsidiaries operate, and the incremental U.S. GILTI tax. In addition, during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had accrued additional top-up tax resulted from Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two), which have been enacted in certain jurisdictions where our subsidiaries operate.

**Net income**

As a result of the foregoing factors, for the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we had net income of $145.4 million compared to $226.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 36%.

**Foreign currency translation adjustments, net of tax** 

Due to a 0.2% depreciation of the Kazakhstan tenge against the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, we realized a foreign currency translation loss of $19.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 since most of our Group's companies use the Kazakhstan tenge as their functional currency, as compared to a foreign currency translation loss of $187.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

Total revenue, net for the three months ended December 31, 2025 decreased across Brokerage and Insurance segments compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 while banking segment revenue increased. In our segment reporting, we account for all operations within each business segment, including all related subsidiaries and their activities. Below is a discussion of revenue of our segments for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024.

***Brokerage Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Brokerage segment experienced a decrease in total revenue, net. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $23.5 million reduction in net gains on trading securities, reflecting a decrease in the value of securities positions. In addition, net gains on foreign exchange operations decreased by $6.5 million, further contributing to the reduction in revenue. However, this decrease was partially offset by a $11.5 million increase in fee and commission income, reflecting a general increase in brokerage activity between the two periods. Interest income also increased by $6.8 million, largely due to increased usage of margin loans for trades by our customers. Furthermore, net gain on derivatives increased by $7.5 million due to a higher volume of swap turnover from Freedom KZ.

***Banking Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, total revenue, net in the Banking segment increased as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, mostly driven by a $68.4 million increase in net gain/(loss) on foreign exchange operations due to the strengthening of Kazakhstan tenge against US dollar and other currencies. This increase was partially offset by a $26.9 million decrease in fee and commission income driven by higher SuperApp cashback volumes, a $15.0 million decrease in net gain on trading securities due to the unfavorable movements in market prices of securities held for trading, a decrease in trading income driven by the sale of certain securities from the portfolio, a $8.5 million decrease in interest income due to a reduction in the size of the trading portfolio, and a $1.1 million decrease in net gain on derivatives mainly due to losses on currency swaps and the decrease of transactions.

***Insurance Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, total revenue, net in the Insurance segment decreased mainly due to a $70.5 million decrease in insurance underwriting income particularly as a result of changes in insurance legislation, which limited the volume of agency contracts and reduced underwriting activity, a $3.9 million decrease in net gain/(loss) on trading securities due to the unfavorable movements in market prices of securities held for trading and a $2.6 million decrease in net gain on foreign exchange operations due to the depreciation of the Kazakhstani tenge against the U.S. dollar between the two periods. The decrease was partially offset by $4.5 million increase in interest income due to increase of trading portfolio and a $4.6 million increase in other income.

***Other Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, total revenue, net in the Other segment increased primarily due to an $18.3 million increase in sales of goods and services, driven by our continued expansion into the telecommunications sector and higher order volumes and customer activity at Arbuz. Net gain on derivatives increased by $8.3 million year over year, primarily driven by FSP and reflecting the revaluation of liabilities under structured products. This change was due to the net result on trading securities moving inversely during the period, consistent with the structured product's design. In addition, net gain on foreign exchange operations decreased by $17.4 million year over year, primarily attributable to a lower foreign currency translation gain, as USD depreciated against KZT, resulting in a translation loss during the period.

Total expenses associated with our segments are summarized in the following table:

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, total expenses, net decreased across Banking and Insurance segments compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. Below is a discussion of changes in expenses for each of our segments for the three months ended December 31, 2025 versus the three months ended December 31, 2024:

***Brokerage Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, the total expenses, net, in our Brokerage segment increased by $16.9 million. The increase was primarily driven by a $23.1 million rise in payroll and bonus expenses, reflecting our continued investment in attracting and retaining top talent, a $4.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, and a $2.7 million increase in fee and commission expenses due to higher customer trading activity. These increases were partially offset by a $6.4 million decrease in interest expense, mainly related to lower interest paid on securities repurchase agreements, a $3.9 million decrease in advertising and sponsorship expenses, as marketing activities were scaled back during the period, and a $2.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

***Banking Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, total expenses, net in our Banking segment decreased primarily due to a $26.8 million decrease in provision for credit losses, a $12.3 million decrease in interest expense due to reduction in the securities portfolio for which the Bank uses repurchase agreements, and a $0.9 million decrease in advertising and sponsorship expenses. The decrease was partially offset by a $8.7 million increase in general and administrative expense, in particular for the depreciation of fixed assets and software expenses, a $6.9 million increase in payroll and bonuses expense and a $2.2 million increase in fee and commission expense, in particular for the banking services.

***Insurance Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, total expenses, net in our insurance segment decreased mainly due to a $64.5 million decrease in fee and commission expense due to the regulatory cap on commissions to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period, a $26.6 million decrease in insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance which also correlates with a new regulatory cap, a $2.0 million decrease in general and administrative expense. The decrease was partially offset by a $3.9 million increase in provision for credit losses.

***Other Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the three months ended December 31, 2025, the increase in our Other segment's total expenses, net was driven by an increase in interest expense, payroll and bonuses, cost of sales, general and administrative expense and stock

compensation expense. Interest expense increased by $17.1 million, mainly attributable to an increase in interest expense from the debt securities issued by Freedom SPC. Payroll and bonuses increased by $16.9 million, and general and administrative expense increased by $6.5 million, both primarily reflecting the overall growth of our operations and the addition of new subsidiaries. Cost of sales increased by $16.0 million due to a higher sales volume, which reflects our expansion into the telecommunications sector as well as increased customer activity and order volume at Arbuz. Additionally, stock compensation expense increased by $4.4 million, which is attributable to new stock grants awarded and the partial amortization of stock grants which were awarded during 2025 and 2024 fiscal years.

---

Total revenue, net for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 decreased primarily due to decline in the Banking and Insurance segments compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. In our segment reporting, we account for all operations within each business segment, including all related subsidiaries and their activities. Below is a discussion of revenue of our segments for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

***Brokerage Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Brokerage segment experienced an increase in total revenue, net, primarily driven by a $50.0 million increase in fee and commission income, reflecting a general increase in brokerage activity between the two periods. In addition, interest income contributed to the growth, rising by $34.3 million, largely due to increased usage of margin loans for trades by our customers. Net gain on derivatives also increased by $6.2 million, due to a higher volume of swap turnover from Freedom KZ. This growth was partially offset by a $16.9 million decrease in net (loss)/gain on foreign exchange operations. In addition, net gain on trading securities decreased by $14.8 million, primarily due to an decrease in the value of securities positions.

***Banking Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total revenue, net in the Banking segment decreased as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024, mostly driven by a $66.2 million decrease in interest income due to a reduction in the size of the trading portfolio, a $59.3 million decrease in fee and commission income due to SuperApp cashback payments, a $4.0 million decrease in net gain on derivative due to decreased operations with such instruments. These decreases were partially offset by a $65.6 million increase in net gain on foreign exchange operations due to an appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Kazakhstan tenge between the two periods, and $26.7 million increase in net gain on trading securities due to the favorable movements in market prices of securities held for trading.

***Insurance Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total revenue, net in the Insurance segment decreased mainly due to $81.8 million decrease in insurance underwriting income particularly as a result of changes in insurance legislation, which limited the volume of agency contracts and reduced underwriting activity, and a $2.0 million decrease in net gain in foreign exchange operations due to fluctuations in the exchange rate during the period, which was partially offset by a $8.9 million increase in interest income due to increase of trading portfolio and $5.7 million increase in other income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Other Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total revenue, net in the Other segment decreased mostly due to a decrease of $32.3 million in net gain on foreign exchange operations from FRHC. The decline was attributable to a reduced appreciation of the USD against the KZT in the nine months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The Other income in the Other segment also decreased by $11.2 million mainly due to one-off transactions occurred during nine months ended December 31, 2024. Fee and commission income declined by $4.5 million, which is primarily attributable to a decrease in Paybox's transaction volume following the cessation of operations of its counterparty that previously contributed significantly to such volume. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales of goods and services of $38.3 million, driven by our continued expansion into the telecommunications sector and higher order volumes and customer activity at Arbuz, as well as an increase in net gain on trading securities of $7.5 million between the two quarters.

Total expenses associated with our segments are summarized in the following table:

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total expenses, net increased across Brokerage and Other segments compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Below is a discussion of changes in expenses for each of our segments for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 versus the nine months ended December 31, 2024:

***Brokerage Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the total expenses, net, in our Brokerage segment increased by $15.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by a $48.7 million rise in payroll and bonus expenses, reflecting our continued investment in attracting and retaining top talent, a $13.1 million increase in fee and commission expenses due to higher customer trading activity, and a $7.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $35.0 million decrease in interest expense, mainly related to lower interest paid on securities repurchase agreements, a $12.6 million decrease in advertising and sponsorship expenses, as marketing activities were scaled back during the period, and a $3.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation.

***Banking Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total expenses, net in our Banking segment decreased primarily due to a $56.9 million decrease in interest expense due to reduction in the securities portfolio for which the Bank uses repurchase agreements, and a $21.6 million decrease in provision for credit losses. The decrease was partially offset by a $19.0 million increase in payroll and bonuses expense, a $10.7 million increase in general and administrative expense in particular for the depreciation of fixed assets and software expenses, a $9.1 million increase in fee and commission expense, in particular for the banking services, a $2.9 million increase in stock based compensation.

***Insurance Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, total expenses, net in our insurance segment decreased mainly due to a $96.2 million decrease in fee and commission expense due to the regulatory cap on commissions to insurance agents for policies associated with bank and microfinance loan products, which reduced new business volumes during the period, a $10.8 million decrease in general and administrative expense, and a $3.4 million decrease in interest expense due to repurchase agreement obligations as a result of changes in securities portfolio. The decrease was partially offset by a $19.6 million increase in insurance claims incurred, net of reinsurance due to claims paid in the class of compulsory motor third-party liability (MTPL), a $7.2 million increase in stock

compensation expense due to new stock grants, a $7.9 million increase in provisions for credit loses primarily driven by higher premium receivables, reflecting growth in written premiums during the period, a $2.0 million increase in payroll and bonuses expense due to the increase in headcount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***Other Segment***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the increase in our Other segment's total expenses, net was driven by an increase in payroll and bonuses, interest expense, cost of sales, professional services, general and administrative expense, and advertising and sponsorship expense. There was a $39.5 million increase in payroll and bonuses and $16.5 million in general and administrative expense in our Other segment which was mostly attributable to the overall growth of our operations as well as the addition of new subsidiaries. Cost of sales increased by $35.5 million due to a higher sales volume, which reflects our expansion into the telecommunications sector as well as increased customer activity and order volume at Arbuz. Interest expense increased by $37.4 million, mainly attributable to an increase in interest expense from the debt securities issued by Freedom SPC. Stock compensation expense increased by $10.9 million, attributable to new stock grants awarded and the continued amortization of stock grants issued during fiscal years 2025 and 2024. Advertising and sponsorship expense increased by $4.7 million due to expanded marketing expenditures to third-party contractors at Freedom Advertising and Aviata and sponsorship contributions made through our subsidiaries.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

During the periods covered in this quarterly report, our operations were primarily funded through a combination of existing cash on hand, cash generated from operations, returns generated from our proprietary trading and proceeds from the sale of bonds and other borrowings.

We regularly monitor and manage our leverage and liquidity risk through various committees and processes we have established to maintain compliance with net capital and capital adequacy requirements imposed on securities brokerages, insurance companies and banks in jurisdictions where we do business. We assess our leverage and liquidity risk based on considerations and assumptions of market factors, as well as other factors, including the amount of available liquid capital (i.e., the amount of cash and cash equivalents not invested in our operating business). While we have in place the risk management monitoring and processes, a significant portion of our trading securities and cash and cash equivalents are subject to collateralization agreements. This significantly enhances our risk of loss in the event financial markets move against our positions which can negatively impact our liquidity, capitalization and business. Certain market conditions can impact the liquidity of our assets, potentially requiring us to hold positions longer than anticipated. Our liquidity, capitalization, projected return on investment and results of operations can be significantly impacted by market events over which we have no control, and which can result in disruptions to our investment strategy for our assets.

We maintain a majority of our tangible assets in cash and securities that are readily convertible to cash, including governmental and quasi-governmental debt and highly liquid corporate equities and debt. Our financial instruments and other asset positions are stated at fair value and should generally be readily marketable in most market conditions. The following table sets out certain information regarding our assets as of the dates presented:

By comparison, at March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $837.3 million, of which $81.1 million, or approximately 10%, was subject to reverse repurchase agreements. The amount of cash and cash equivalents we hold is subject to minimum levels set by regulatory bodies to comply with required rules and regulations, including adequate capital and liquidity levels for each entity.

**Net Cash Flows From Operating Activities**

Net cash flow from operating activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, was comprised of net change in operating assets and liabilities and net income adjusted for non-cash movements (changes in deferred taxes, unrealized gain on trading securities, net change in accrued interest, change in insurance reserves, and allowance for receivables). Net cash from operating activities resulted primarily from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Such changes included those set out in the following table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(2)</sup>Resulted from increased funds in brokerage accounts from new and existing customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(3)</sup>Resulted primarily from decreased volume of margin lending receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<sup>(4)</sup>Resulted primarily from decreased volume of margin lending payables.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by changes in brokerage customer liabilities, restricted cash, and margin lending-related balances. Brokerage customer liabilities largely represent customer cash balances held in brokerage accounts, and a portion of these balances are maintained in segregated/clearing or settlement accounts and therefore reflected as restricted cash. Accordingly, increases in brokerage customer liabilities generally correspond to increases in restricted cash, as customer funds are placed into restricted/segregated accounts rather than being available for general corporate use. The increase in brokerage customer liabilities during the period reflects higher customer cash balances, which may be influenced by a combination of (i) higher customer activity and turnover, (ii) growth in the customer base and/or higher balances from existing customers, and (iii) customer preference to hold more cash in brokerage accounts due to market conditions and trading opportunities. The

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

significant decrease in margin lending liabilities is consistent with a reduction in margin funding requirements as net margin lending balances declined, as also reflected in the decrease in margin lending and other receivables. These changes may be associated with changes in customer liabilities balances, led by lower utilization of margin by customers and/or increased repayments of margin balances, as well as ongoing optimization of the Company's margin funding structure.

**Net Cash Flows Used In Investing Activities**

During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $940.9 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $652.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was used for issuance of loans, net of repayment by customers, in the amount of $395.6 million, purchase of available-for-sale securities, at fair value in amount of $352.7 million, purchase of held-to-maturity securities in amount of $320.1 million, purchase of fixed assets in the amount of 175.8 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, cash used for the issuance of loans, net of repayment increased by $53.7 million compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024, due to the increase in the volume of loans issued during the nine months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This change is attributed to the growth in the Freedom Bank KZ's loan portfolio over the nine months ended December 31, 2025, driven by new banking products, partnership agreements, and effective advertising campaigns.

**Net Cash Flows From Financing Activities**

Net cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2025 were $1,003.8 million compared to $833.6 million net cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2025 consisted principally of bank customer deposits received in the amount of $668.6 million, proceeds from the issuance, net of repurchase, of debt securities in the amount of 599.1 million, and net, repayment of securities repurchase agreement obligations in the amount of $346.3 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, cash flows from financing activities increased by $170.2 million compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to a $397.4 million change in proceeds from issuance of debt securities.

**CAPITAL EXPENDITURES** 

In alignment with our digital fintech ecosystem strategy, we are expanding our business into the telecommunications market in Kazakhstan through our Freedom Telecom subsidiary. Our expansion will require significant capital expenditures, the specific amount of which is currently uncertain. Total capital expenditures for the development of this business area are currently expected to be required for, among other things, construction of network infrastructure, including a backbone network, obtaining licenses or other rights to provide services where required and acquisitions of smaller companies in the sector. Our plans and budget for Freedom Telecom continue to be regularly reassessed and are subject to revisions, which may be material. We currently plan to finance our capital expenditures for this business area with a combination of own funds and borrowings, including vendor financing, including the proceeds of a $200 million U.S. dollar domestic bond placement on the AIX that we completed on December 19, 2023. In addition, on September 16, 2024, Freedom SPC authorized and, during the three months ended December 31, 2024, placed a series of $200 million bonds, the proceeds of which were also allocated to finance capital expenditures in this business area. For further information, see "*Indebtedness - Long-term*" below.

Since 2024, as part of its telecommunications business development, the Group has entered into a number of contractual arrangements for the purchase of equipment and related software over the following five-year period. The capital expenditure commitments under these arrangements may change materially based on the internal business needs of the Group and external market factors. As of December 31, 2025, such capital expenditure commitments amounted up to $112.3 million. See Note 23 "*Commitments and Contingent Liabilities*" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

As a further step in implementing our strategy to build a digital fintech ecosystem, on January 25, 2024, we established Freedom Media as a subsidiary of Freedom Telecom that is intended to become a major Kazakhstan media platform offering tailored streaming services to the Kazakhstan market and, potentially, the broader Central Asian region. Total capital expenditures directly attributable to Freedom Media business as of December 31, 2025 amounted to $4.5

million. We commenced financing these capital expenditures in early 2024 and plan to continue funding them primarily using our own funds.

**DIVIDENDS**

We did not declare or pay a cash dividend on our common stock during the three months ended December 31, 2025. Any payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation, development and expansion of our business, and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.

**INDEBTEDNESS**

Set forth below is a discussion of our short-term and long-term debt.

***Short-term***

Our short-term financing is primarily obtained through securities repurchase arrangements conducted through stock exchanges. We use repurchase arrangements, among other things, to finance our liquidity positions. As of December 31, 2025, $1,059.1 million, or 49%, of the trading securities held in our proprietary trading account were subject to securities repurchase obligations compared to $1,436.3 million, or 63% as of March 31, 2025. The securities we pledge as collateral under repurchase agreements are liquid trading securities with market quotes and significant trading volume. For additional information regarding our securities repurchase agreement obligations see Note 9 "*Securities Repurchase Agreement Obligations*" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

***Long-term***

On October 21, 2021, our subsidiary Freedom SPC issued U.S. dollar-denominated bonds due 2026, in an aggregate principal amount of $65 million, which are listed on the AIX. The annual interest rate for such bonds is 5.5%. The bonds are guaranteed by FRHC.

On December 19, 2023, Freedom SPC issued U.S. dollar-denominated bonds due 2028, in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million, for the purpose of raising funds to finance the development of the Freedom Telecom business. The bonds were issued within the Freedom SPC's $1 billion bond program that is valid until December 31, 2033. For the first and second years, the annual interest rate for such bonds was 12%, and for subsequent years the interest rate is 10.39% (being the sum of the effective federal funds rate as of December 10, 2025 and a margin of 6.5%). On September 16, 2024, Freedom SPC authorized $200 million bonds due September 16, 2026 under the same program, with a 10.5% annual interest rate payable quarterly, all of which were placed (i.e., sold) during the three months ended December 31, 2024. In May 2025, Freedom SPC authorized and placed $329.0 million bonds due 2027 denominated in U.S. dollars, euros, and Chinese yuans under the Freedom SPC's $1 billion program, as amended. The U.S. dollar, euro and Chinese yuan bonds have annual interest rate of 10%, 8%, 9% respectively, payable on a quarterly basis. On October 10, 2025, Freedom SPC issued U.S. dollar-denominated bonds due October 10, 2028, in an aggregate principal amount of $269.7 million under the Freedom SPC's $1 billion program, with 9.5% annual interest. The Freedom SPC bonds described above are guaranteed by FRHC and listed on the AIX.

As of December 31, 2025, there was an aggregate of $1,075.4 million in principal amount of Freedom SPC bonds, outstanding. The aggregate accrued interest as of December 31, 2025 for the Freedom SPC bonds due 2026, the Freedom SPC bonds due 2027, and the Freedom SPC bonds due 2028 was $10.8 million.

On June 21, 2019, SilkNetCom, a Company's subsidiary since September 17, 2024, entered into a KZT denominated loan facility agreement with JSC "Development Bank of Kazakhstan" for up to $26.4 million. The loan is bearing a fixed annual interest rate of 10.0% effective until April 30, 2027, and 15.71% thereafter, with a maturity date of June 21, 2031. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding aggregate amount under the loan was $12.8 million, including $12.8 million of principal amount and $0.01 million of accrued interest. The purpose of this loan was to finance the expansion of a broadband internet access in Kazakhstan rural areas.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Freedom Bank KZ established three Kazakhstan law bond programs: (i) a program of up to 100 billion Kazakhstani tenge, of which 7-year bonds for 50 billion Kazakhstani tenge

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

which have been listed on the KASE, with a floating interest rate to be determined following the first trades, (ii) a program of up to 200 billion Kazakhstani tenge, of which 2-year bonds for 36 billion Kazakhstani tenge have been listed on the KASE with a fixed interest rate determined following the first trades, and (iii) a program of up to $300 million, of which 2-year bonds for $50 million have been listed on the KASE with a fixed interest rate to be determined following the first trades. None of the bonds within the Freedom Bank KZ's bond programs have been placed with investors. Going forward, Freedom Bank KZ may decide to place any or all of these the bonds as needed to support its liquidity.

**NET CAPITAL AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY**

A number of our subsidiaries (and, in certain instances, the Company as their owner) are required to satisfy minimum net capital and capital adequacy requirements to conduct their brokerage, banking and insurance operations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. See Note 25 "*Statutory Capital Requirements*" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This is partially maintained by retaining cash and cash equivalent investments in those subsidiaries or jurisdictions. As a result, such subsidiaries may be restricted in their ability to transfer cash between different jurisdictions and to FRHC. Additionally, transfers of cash between international jurisdictions may have adverse tax consequences that could discourage such transfers.

At December 31, 2025, these minimum net capital and capital adequacy requirements for each company ranged from approximately $260 to $215,678 remaining subject to fluctuation depending on various factors. At December 31, 2025, the aggregate net capital and capital adequacy requirements of our subsidiaries was approximately $499,938. The Company and each of our subsidiaries that is subject to net capital or capital adequacy requirements exceeded the minimum required amount at December 31, 2025.

Although we operate with levels of net capital and capital adequacy substantially greater than the minimum established thresholds, in the event we fail to maintain minimum net capital or capital adequacy, we may be subject to fines and penalties, suspension of operations, revocation of licensure and disqualification of our management from working in the industry. Our subsidiaries are also subject to various other rules and regulations, including liquidity and capital adequacy ratios. Our operations that require the intensive use of capital are limited to the extent necessary to meet our regulatory requirements.

Over the past several years, we have pursued an aggressive growth strategy both through acquisitions and organic growth efforts. While our active growth strategy has led to revenue growth it also results in increased expenses and greater need for capital resources. Additional growth and expansion may require greater capital resources than we currently possess, which could require us to pursue additional equity or debt financing from outside sources. We cannot assure that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, at the time it is needed.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash expected to be generated from operating activities, and forecasted returns from our proprietary trading, combined with our ability to raise additional capital will be sufficient to meet our present and anticipated financing needs.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Following are the accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.

***Allowance for credit losses***

The Company has recently adopted a new accounting standard, ASC 326 - Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), effective April 1, 2023. This standard has introduced significant changes to how we estimate and recognize credit losses for our financial assets. Management estimates and recognizes the CECL as an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses for loans issued. This is different compared to the previous practice of recognizing allowances based on probable incurred losses.

Under CECL, the allowance for credit losses (ACL) primarily consists of two components:

------

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

Collective CECL Component: This component is used for estimating expected credit losses for pools of loans that share common risk characteristics.

Individual CECL Component: This component is applied to loans that do not share common risk characteristics and require individual assessment.

The ACL is a valuation account that is subtracted from the amortized cost of total loans and available-for-sale securities to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. Our methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses is based on a comprehensive assessment that considers relevant and available information from internal and external sources. This assessment takes into account past events, including historical trends in loan delinquencies and charge-offs, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our processes and accounting policies for the CECL methodology are further described in Note 2 "*Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*" to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

***Goodwill***

We have accounted for our acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date as we allocate the purchase price to the estimated fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets and the liabilities assumed. We also use our best estimates to determine the useful lives of the tangible and definite-lived intangible assets, which impact the periods over which depreciation and amortization of those assets are recognized. These best estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain as they pertain to forward looking views of our businesses, customer behavior, and market conditions. In our acquisitions, we have also recognized goodwill at the amount by which the purchase price paid exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired.

Our ongoing accounting for goodwill and the tangible and intangible assets acquired requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions as we exercise judgment to evaluate these assets for impairment. Our processes and accounting policies for evaluating impairments are further described in Note 2 "*Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. As of December 31, 2025, we had goodwill of $49.5 million.

***Income taxes***

We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, actual future tax consequences relating to uncertain tax positions may be materially different than our determinations or estimates.

We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

We periodically evaluate and establish the likelihood of tax assessments based on current and prior years' examinations, and unrecognized tax benefits related to potential losses that may arise from tax audits in accordance with the relevant accounting guidance. Once established, unrecognized tax benefits are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

***Legal contingencies***

We review outstanding legal matters at each reporting date, in order to assess the need for provisions and disclosures in our financial statements. Among the factors considered in making decisions on provisions are the nature of the matter, the legal process and potential legal exposure in the relevant jurisdiction, the progress of the matter (including

the progress after the date of the financial statements but before those statements are issued), the opinions or views of our legal advisers, experiences on similar cases and any decision of our management as to how we will respond to the matter.

**RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

For details of applicable new accounting standards, see "*Recent accounting pronouncements*" in Note 2 "*Summary of Significant Accounting Policies*" in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

**ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

**Market Risk** 

The following information, together with information included in "*Overview*" *in* "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*" in Part I Item 2, describes our primary market risk exposures. Market risk is the risk of economic loss arising from the adverse impact of market changes to the market value of our trading and investment positions. We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk.

**Interest Rate Risk**

Our exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and outstanding debt. While we are exposed to global interest rate fluctuations, we are most sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates in Kazakhstan. Changes in interest rates in Kazakhstan may have significant effect on the fair value of securities on our balance sheet.

Our investment policies and strategies are focused on preservation of capital and supporting our liquidity requirements. We typically invest in highly rated securities, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Our investment policies generally require securities to be investment grade and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer with the exception of government and quasi-government entities. To provide a meaningful assessment of the interest rate risk associated with our investment portfolio, we performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact a change in interest rates would have on the value of the investment portfolio assuming a 200 basis point and 50 basis point parallel shift in the yield curve for non USD/EUR and USD/EUR denominated securities.

Based on investment positions as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, a hypothetical 50 basis point (for USD, EUR denominated securities) and 200 basis point (for other currencies) increase in interest rates across all maturities would have resulted in $100.0 million and $87.7 million incremental decline in the fair market value of the trading portfolio and in $18.4 million and $13.8 million in incremental decline in the fair market value of the portfolio available-for-sale, respectively. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates across all maturities would have resulted in a $92.4 million and $50.7 million incremental increase in the fair market value of the trading portfolio and in $15.3 million and $10.3 million incremental increase in the fair market value of the portfolio available-for-sale, respectively. Such gains and losses would only be realized if we sold the investments prior to maturity.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Risk**

We have a presence in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Cyprus, Germany, the United Kingdom, Greece, Spain, France, Poland, Lithuania, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, Netherlands, the United States, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates. The activities and accumulated earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rate between our functional currencies and our reporting currency, which is the U.S. dollar.

In accordance with our risk management policies, we manage foreign currency exchange risk on financial assets by holding or creating financial liabilities in the same currency, maturity and interest rate profile. This foreign exchange risk is calculated on a net foreign exchange basis for individual currencies. We may also enter into foreign currency forward, swap and option contracts with financial institutions to mitigate foreign currency exposures associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, firmly committed transactions and forecasted future cash flows.

As mentioned before, our main market is Kazakhstan. Because Kazakhstan's economy is highly dependent on oil exports, any significant decrease in oil prices lead to a devaluation of local currency, which can lose up to 17% quarterly (during COVID-19 outbreak) of its value relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to its dependence on oil, the Kazakhstani economy is influenced by the economic conditions in Russia due to historically strong trade ties, which manifests in a

------

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

correlation between the exchange rate of the local currency to the U.S. dollar and that of the Russian ruble to the U.S. dollar.

As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, based on our analyses, we estimate that a 10% decrease in the value of all currencies compared to the U.S. dollar would result in the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A total loss of $82.8 million as of December 31, 2025 and $90.0 million as of March 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A loss of $141.3 million on trading securities as of December 31, 2025 and $131.3 million as of March 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A gain of $58.5 million, excluding trading securities, as of December 31, 2025 and a gain of $41.3 million as of March 31, 2025.

**Equity Price Risk** 

Our equity investments are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of such investment securities. Equity price risk results from fluctuations in price and level of the equity securities or instruments we hold. We also have equity investments in entities where the investment is denominated in a foreign currency, or where the investment is denominated in U.S. dollars but the investee primarily makes investments in foreign currencies. The fair values of these investments are subject to change at the spot foreign exchange rate between these currencies and our functional currency fluctuates. We attempt to manage the risk of loss inherent in our equity securities portfolio through diversification and by placing limits on individual and total equity instruments we hold. Reports on our equity portfolio are submitted to our management on a regular basis.

As of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, our exposure to equity investments at fair value was $163.6 million and $111.1 million, respectively. Based on an analysis of the December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025 (not including assets held for sale) balance sheets, we estimate that a decrease of 10% in the equity price would have reduced the value of the equity securities or instruments we held by approximately $16.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively.

**Credit Risk**

Credit risk refers to the risk of loss arising when a borrower or counterparty does not meet its financial obligations to us. We are primarily exposed to credit risk from institutions and individuals through the brokerage and banking services we offer. We incur credit risk in a number of areas, including margin lending and loans issued.

***Margin lending receivables risk***

We extend margin loans to our customers. Margin lending is subject to various regulatory requirements of MiFID, the AFSA and the NBK. Margin loans are collateralized by cash and securities in the customers' accounts. The risks associated with margin lending increase during periods of fast market movements, or in cases where collateral is concentrated and market movements occur. During such times, customers who utilize margin loans and who have collateralized their obligations with securities may find that the securities have a rapidly depreciating value and may not be sufficient to cover their obligations in the event of a liquidation. We are also exposed to credit risk when our customers execute transactions, such as short sales of equities that can expose them to risk beyond their invested capital.

We expect this kind of exposure to increase with the growth of our overall business. Because we indemnify and hold harmless our clearing houses and counterparties from certain liabilities or claims, the use of margin loans and short sales may expose us to significant off-balance-sheet risk in the event that collateral requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses that customers may incur and those customers fail to satisfy their obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we had $2,961,782 in margin lending receivables from our customers, $1,797,094 of which was attributable to two non-related party customers. The amount of risk to which we are exposed from the margin lending we extend to our customers and from short sale transactions by our customers is unlimited and not quantifiable as the risk is dependent upon analysis of a potential significant and undeterminable increase or fall in stock prices. As a matter of practice, we enforce real-time margin compliance monitoring and liquidate customers' positions if their equity falls below required margin requirements.

We have a comprehensive policy implemented in accordance with regulatory standards to assess and monitor the suitability of investors to engage in various trading activities. To mitigate our risk, we also monitor customer accounts to detect excessive concentration, large orders or positions, patterns of day trading and other activities that indicate increased risk to us.

Our credit exposure is substantially mitigated through our policy of closing positions for accounts identified as under-margined based on the automatic evaluation of each account throughout the trading day. In situations where no

------

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

liquid market exists for the relevant securities or commodities, liquidation for certain accounts is performed following a corresponding analysis. We regularly monitor and evaluate our risk management policies, including the implementation of policies and procedures to enhance the detection and prevention of potential events aimed at minimizing margin loan losses.

***Risk related to banking loans recoverability***

Our loan portfolio may be impacted by global, regional and local macroeconomic and market dynamics, including prolonged weakness in GDP, reductions in consumer spending, decreases in property values or market corrections, growing levels of consumer debt, rising or high unemployment rates, changes in foreign exchange or interest rates, widespread health crises or pandemics, severe weather conditions, and the effects of climate change. Economic or market stresses generally have negative effect on the business landscape and financial markets. Decreases in property values or market adjustments may increase the likelihood of borrowers or counterparties failing to meet their obligations to us, potentially leading to an increase in credit losses.

The main share of our customer loan portfolio is represented by digital mortgage loans issued within the framework of state support programs, funded from the funds of quasi state organizations. We participate in the government mortgage program in which the Kazakhstan government provides funding in the amount of approved mortgages and buys out the mortgages after disbursement with a recourse to the bank in case of default by a borrower. We mitigate our credit risk exposure in this case by our security interest in the financed real estate property. As such, significant rate of mortgage defaults in Kazakhstan could adversely affect our banking operations and the ultimate success of our digital mortgage product.

We reserve for potential credit losses in the future by recording a provision for credit losses through our earnings. This includes the allowance for credit losses based on management's estimates of current expected credit losses over the life of the respective credit exposures. These estimates are based on a review of past events, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of future economic situations that might influence the recoverability of our loans. Our approach to determining these allowances involves both quantitative methods and a qualitative framework. Within this framework, management uses its judgment to evaluate internal and external risk factors. However, such judgments are inherently subject to the risk of misjudging these factors or misestimating their effects. Charge-offs related to our credit exposures may occur in the future. Market and economic changes could lead to higher default and delinquency rates, adversely affecting our loan portfolio's quality and potentially resulting in higher charge-offs. While our estimates account for current conditions and anticipated changes during the portfolio's lifetime, actual outcomes could be worse than expected, significantly impacting our financial results, condition and cash flows.

For description of credit quality of the loans and other details please see Note 7 "*Loans Issued*" in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

**Cybersecurity Risk**

Cybersecurity risk refers to the risk of loss, or damage to our reputation, resulting from inadequacies or breaches in our control processes, including IT, information security and data protection incidents, that could lead to penetration, disruption, integrity violation or misuse of our information systems and data.

For a description of these risks, see "*Risks Related to Information Technology and Cybersecurity*" in "*Risk Factors*" in Part I Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.

For cybersecurity risk management and governance practices see "*Cybersecurity*" in Part I Item 1C of the 2025 Form 10-K.

**Operational Risk**

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss, or damage to our reputation, resulting from inadequate or failed operations or external events, including, but not limited to, business disruptions, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our technology or financial operating systems.

For a description of related risks, see the information under the headings "*Risks Related to our Business and Operations*" in "*Risk Factors*" in Part I Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K.

------

*<u>[Table of](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u><u>[Contents](#i18375c3f5d4947c79edf287fa7ad157a_7)</u>*

To mitigate and control operational risk, we have developed and continue to enhance policies and procedures that are designed to identify and manage operational risk at appropriate levels throughout the organization and within such departments. We also have business continuity plans in place that we believe will cover critical processes on a company-wide basis, and redundancies are built into our systems as we have deemed appropriate. These control mechanisms attempt to ensure that operational policies and procedures are being followed and that our various businesses are operating within established corporate policies and limits.

**Legal and Compliance Risk** 

We operate in a number of jurisdictions, each with its own legal and regulatory structure that is unique and different from the other. Legal and regulatory risk includes the risk of non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and damage to our reputation as a result of failure to comply with laws, regulations, rules, related self-regulatory organization standards and codes of conduct applicable to our business activities. Legal and compliance risk includes compliance with AML, counter terrorist financing, anti-corruption and sanctions rules and regulations. It also includes contractual and commercial risk, such as the risk that a counterparty's performance obligations will be unenforceable.

We are subject to regulation from numerous regulators, which include the NBK, the AFSA, the ARDFM, CySEC and the SEC. From time to time, we are, have been, and in the future may be, subject to investigations, audits, inspections and subpoenas, as well as regulatory proceedings and fines and penalties brought by regulators. We could experience negative publicity and reputational damage as a result of the foregoing, as well as lawsuits, claims or regulatory actions. The legal costs associated with responding to the regulatory investigations can be substantial, regardless of the outcome. We have received, and are likely to continue to receive, various inquiries and formal requests for information on various matters from certain regulators, with which we have cooperated and will continue to do so. Since 2021, the Company and certain of our officers and directors have received several document subpoenas, document requests and subpoenas and requests for testimony from the SEC's Division of Enforcement. The requested information relates to a number of topics, including the settlement practices and relationships with certain institutional market makers of certain of our non-U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries, and has included our accounting practices, disclosures, and internal controls. The matter is ongoing, and we are cooperating with the SEC. We face risks and uncertainties relating to the duration, outcome or impact of the inquiry on our business, including the amount of any fines or other penalties. Any of the foregoing could, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect, our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, and cash flows.

Our business also subjects us to the complex income tax laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, and these tax laws may be subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant governmental taxing authorities. We must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws when determining the provision for income taxes.

**Geopolitical Risk**

Geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and escalating tensions in the Middle East and other regions, have contributed to increased volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets. Such conflicts have resulted in sanctions, trade restrictions, and countermeasures between countries, leading to disruptions in international trade flows, financial transactions, and economic activities. These developments may trigger shortages or price increases for critical commodities, energy resources, and transportation services, amplifying inflationary pressures and influencing central banks' interest-rate policies worldwide. Furthermore, the imposition of tariffs and related uncertainty complicate international trade relations, affecting the global economy and growth prospects in multiple regions. Heightened geopolitical tensions increase the risks associated with cybersecurity threats, supply chain disruptions, payment delays, and failures to settle financial transactions.

**Effects of Inflation**

Because our assets are primarily short-term and liquid in nature, they are generally not significantly impacted by inflation. The rate of inflation does, however, affect our expenses, including employee compensation, communications and information processing and office leasing costs, which may not be readily recoverable from our customers. To the extent inflation results in rising interest rates and has adverse impacts upon securities markets, it may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

*Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

*Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*

During the nine months ended on December 31, 2025, there was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## Exhibit 19.01

**EXHIBIT 19.01**

*As Amended as of October 29, 2025*

**Freedom Holding Corp.**

**Statement of Company Policy Regarding Securities Trades**

It is the policy of Freedom Holding Corp. to oppose the unauthorized disclosure of any material nonpublic information acquired in the workplace, the use of material nonpublic information in securities trading, and any other violation of applicable securities laws. This Insider Trading Policy describes the standards applicable to Freedom Holding Corp., its multiple tiered subsidiaries, and any entity whose financial statements are consolidated with those of Freedom Holding Corp. (collectively the "**Company**") with regard to trading, and causing the trading of, the Company's securities or securities of certain other publicly traded companies while in possession of confidential information.

One of the principal purposes of the U.S. federal securities laws is to prohibit so-called "insider trading." Simply stated, insider trading occurs when a person uses material nonpublic information obtained through involvement with the Company to make decisions to purchase, sell, give away or otherwise trade the Company's securities or to provide that information to others outside the Company. The prohibitions against insider trading apply to trades, tips and recommendations by virtually any person, including all persons associated with the Company and their respective family members, as defined below, if the information involved is "material" and "nonpublic." These terms are defined in this Policy under Part I, Section 3 below. The prohibitions would apply to any director, officer or employee and their respective family members who buys or sells Freedom Holding Corp. securities on the basis of material nonpublic information that he or she obtained about the Company, its customers, suppliers, or other companies with which the Company has contractual relationships or may be negotiating transactions.

This Policy is divided into two parts the first part prohibits trading in certain circumstances and applies to all directors, officers, employees and contractors of the Company and members of their immediate families who reside with them or anyone else who lives in their household and family members who live elsewhere but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by them or subject to their influence and control (collectively referred to as "**family members**") and the second part imposes specific black-out periods and pre-clearance procedures and special additional trading restrictions on all persons appointed as: (i) directors or executive officers of Freedom Holding Corp.(all such directors and executive officers are "**Company Insiders**"); (ii) directors or executive officers of its subsidiaries or entities whose financial statements are consolidated with those of Freedom Holding Corp.; (iii) the employees listed or categories of employees listed on Appendix A, (persons in (i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively, "Covered Persons"); and (iv) certain other employees that the Company may designate from time to time as "Covered Persons" because of their position, responsibilities or their actual or potential access to material nonpublic information.

This Policy applies to all trading or other transactions in Company securities, including common stock, restricted stock restricted stock units, options and warrants to purchase common stock and any other debt or equity securities that the Company may issue, such as preferred stock, notes, bonds and convertible securities, as well as to derivative securities relating to any of the Company's securities, whether or not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded options.

**All Directors, officers and employees are individually responsible for understanding and complying with this Policy.**

**PART I**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**<u>General Policy: No Trading or Causing Trading While in Possession of Material Nonpublic</u> <u>Information</u>**.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)No director, officer, employee or contractor or any of their family members may purchase or sell, or offer to purchase or offer to sell, any Company security, whether or not issued by the Company, (other than pursuant to a trading plan that complies with SEC Rule 10b5-1 pre-cleared by the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer), during any period commencing with the date that he or she possesses material nonpublic information concerning the Company and ending at the close of business on the second Trading Day (as defined below) following the date of public disclosure of that information, or at such time as such nonpublic information is no longer material. (The terms "material" and "nonpublic" are defined in Part I, Section 3(a) and (b) below.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)No director, officer, employee or contractor or any of their immediate family members who knows of any material nonpublic information about the Company may disclose, pass on, or communicate that information ("**tip**") to any other person, including family members and friends, make recommendations or express opinions based on such information or otherwise disclose such information without the Company's written authorization. Nonpublic information relating to the Company is the sole property of the Company and the unauthorized disclosure of such information is forbidden.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)No director, officer, employee or contractor or any of their immediate family members may purchase or sell any security of any other company, whether or not issued by the Company, while in possession of material nonpublic information about that company that was obtained in the course of his or her involvement with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For compliance purposes, you should never trade, tip or recommend securities (or otherwise cause the purchase or sale of securities) while in possession of information that you have reason to believe is material and nonpublic unless you first consult with, and obtain the advance approval of, the Compliance Officer (which is defined in Part I, Section 3(c) below).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Covered Persons must "pre-clear" all trading in securities of the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**<u>Definitions</u>**. Insider trading restrictions come into play only if the information you possess is material nonpublic information, e.g., material information that has not been previously disclosed to the public through a press release or securities filings and is otherwise unavailable to the general public. The following subsections elaborate the broad meaning and standards applicable to the terms "material" and "nonpublic."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)**<u>Material Information</u>**. It is not possible to define all categories of material information. However, information should be regarded as material if there is a substantial likelihood that it would be considered important to a reasonable investor in making a voting decision or an investment decision to buy, hold or sell securities. Any information that could be expected to affect the market price of the Company's securities, whether such information is positive or negative, should be considered material. Because trading that receives scrutiny will be evaluated after the fact with the benefit of hindsight, questions as to the materiality of particular informa2tion should be resolved in favor of materiality, and trading should be avoided.

While it may be difficult under this standard to determine whether particular information is material, there are various categories of information that are particularly sensitive and, as a general rule, should always be considered material. Examples of such information might pertain to Freedom Holding Corp. or any of its subsidiaries and would include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• financial results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• projections of future earnings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant changes in the Company's prospects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant write-downs in assets or increases in reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developments regarding significant litigation or government agency investigations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• liquidity problems;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in earnings estimates or unusual gains or losses in major operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• gain or loss of a significant customer or supplier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• significant pricing changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• major changes in the Company's senior management or the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in dividends or dividend policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• stock splits, and stock repurchase programs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• extraordinary borrowings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• major changes in accounting methods or policies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• award or loss of a significant contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cybersecurity risks and incidents, including vulnerabilities and breaches;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in debt ratings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• new equity or debt offerings of the Company's securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• proposals, plans or agreements, even if preliminary in nature, involving mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements, or purchases or sales of substantial assets or subsidiaries; and

Material information is not limited to historical facts but may also include projections and forecasts. With respect to a future event, such as a merger, acquisition or introduction of a new product, the point at which negotiations or product development are determined to be material is determined by balancing the probability that the event will occur against the magnitude of the effect the event would have on a company's operations or stock price should it occur. Thus, information concerning an event that might have a significant effect on stock price, such as a merger, may be material even if the possibility that the event will occur is relatively small.

**If you are unsure whether information is material, you should either consult the Compliance Officer before making any decision to disclose such information (other than to persons who need to know it) or to trade in or recommend securities to which that information relates or assume that the information is material.**

**<u>Nonpublic.</u> Insider trading prohibitions come into play only when you possess information that is material and "nonpublic." The fact that information has been disclosed to a few members of the public does not make it public for insider trading purposes. To be "public" the information must have been disseminated in a manner designed to reach investors generally, and the investors must be given the opportunity to absorb the information. Even after public disclosure of information about the Company, you must wait until the close of business on the second trading day after the information was publicly disclosed before you can treat the information as public. As used in this Policy, the term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which The NASDAQ Stock Market is open for trading. If, for example, the Company were to make an announcement on a Monday, officers, directors and employees and their family members and any other person in possession of material nonpublic information typically shall not trade in the Company's securities until Thursday.**

Nonpublic information may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• information available to a select group of analysts or brokers or institutional investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• undisclosed facts that are the subject of rumors, even if the rumors are widely circulated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• information that has been entrusted to the Company on a confidential basis until a public announcement of the information has been made and enough time has elapsed for the market to respond to a public announcement of the information (normally two trading days).

**As with questions of materiality, if you are not sure whether information is considered public, you should either consult with the Compliance Officer or assume that the information is nonpublic and treat it as confidential.**

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)**<u>Compliance Officer.</u>** The Company has appointed the Chief Compliance Officer as the "**Insider Trading Compliance Officer**" for this Policy. The duties of the Compliance Officer include, but are not limited to, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assisting with implementation and enforcement of this Policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• circulating this Policy to all employees and ensuring that this Policy is amended as necessary to remain up-to-date with insider trading laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pre-clearing all trading in securities of the Company by Covered Persons in accordance with the procedures set forth in Part II, Section 3 below; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing approval of any Rule 10b5-1 plans under Part II, Section 1(c) below and any prohibited transactions under Part II, Section 4 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing a reporting system in conformity with the Company's whistleblower policy and protection mechanism.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**<u>Exceptions</u>**. If the Company offers any of the following types of retirement, investment or incentive plans, the trading restrictions of this Policy will not apply to employee participation as following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)**<u>401(k) Plan</u>**. This Policy will not apply to purchases of Company stock in a Company sponsored 401(k) plan resulting from periodic contributions of money to the plan pursuant to payroll deduction elections. This Policy will apply, however, to certain elections that may be made under the 401(k) plan, including (a) an election to increase or decrease the percentage of periodic contributions that will be allocated to the Company stock fund, if any, (b) an election to make an intra-plan transfer of an existing account balance into or out of the Company stock fund, (c) an election to borrow money against a 401(k) plan account if the loan will result in a liquidation of some or all of a participant's Company stock fund balance, and (d) an election to pre-pay a plan loan if the pre-payment will result in allocation of loan proceeds to the Company stock fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)**<u>Employee Stock Purchase Plan</u>**. This Policy does not apply to purchases of Company stock in the Company's employee stock purchase plan, if any, resulting from periodic contributions of money to the plan pursuant to the elections made at the time of enrollment in the plan. This Policy also does not apply to purchases of Company stock resulting from lump sum contributions to the plan, provided that the participant elected to participate by lump-sum payment at the beginning of the applicable enrollment period. This Policy does apply to a participant's election to participate in or increase his or her participation in the plan, and to a participant's sales of Company stock purchased pursuant to the plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)**<u>Stock Options Exercises</u>**. For purposes of this Policy, the Company considers that the exercise of stock options under the Freedom Holding Corp 2018 or 2019 Equity Incentive Plans for cash or the delivery of previously owned Company stock (but not the sale of the underlying stock) to be exempt from this Policy. This Policy does apply, however, to any sale of stock as part of a broker- assisted "cashless" exercise of an option, or any market sale for the purpose of generating the cash needed to pay the exercise price of an option or to satisfy any tax withholding obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)**<u>Dividend Reinvestment Plan</u>**. This Policy will not apply to purchases of Company stock under a Company dividend reinvestment plan, if any, resulting from reinvestment of dividends paid on Company securities. This Policy does apply, however, to voluntary purchases of Company stock that result from additional contributions a participant chooses to make to the plan, and to a participant's election to participate in the plan or increase his or her level of participation in the plan. This Policy also applies to a participant's sale of any Company stock purchased pursuant to the plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**<u>Potential Criminal and Civil Liability and/or Disciplinary Action</u>**. Penalties for trading on or communicating material nonpublic information can be severe, both for individuals involved in such unlawful conduct and their employers and supervisors. Given the severity of the potential penalties, compliance with this Policy is absolutely mandatory.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)**<u>Liability for Insider Trading</u>**. Any director, officer or employee who engages in a transaction in the Company's securities at a time when they have knowledge of material nonpublic information may be subject to penalties and sanctions, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• up to 20 years in jail;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a criminal fine of up to $5,000,000;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a civil penalty of up to 3 times the profit gained or the loss avoided; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• SEC civil enforcement injunctions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)**<u>Liability for Tipping</u>**. Any director, officer or employee who tips (**"tippers"**) a third party (commonly referred to as a **"tippee"**) may also be liable for improper transactions by tippees to whom they have tipped material nonpublic information regarding the Company or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information as to trading in the Company's securities. Tippers and tippees would be subject to the same penalties and sanctions as described above, and the SEC has imposed large penalties even when the tipper or tippee did not profit from the trading. The SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and NASDAQ use sophisticated electronic surveillance techniques to uncover insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)**<u>Control Persons</u>**. The Company and its supervisory personnel, if they fail to take appropriate steps to prevent illegal insider trading, may in certain circumstances, be subject to the following penalties:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a civil penalty of up to $1,000,000 or, if greater, 3 times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the unlawful action; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a criminal penalty of up to $25,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)**<u>Company-imposed Disciplinary Actions</u>**. Employees who violate this Policy may be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, which may include ineligibility for future participation in the Company's equity incentive plans or termination of employment. Any exceptions to the Policy, if permitted, may only be granted by the Compliance Officer and must be provided before any activity contrary to the above requirements takes place.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.**<u>Applicability of Policy to Inside Information Regarding Other Companies</u>**. This Policy and the guidelines described herein also apply to material nonpublic information relating to other companies, including the Company's customers, vendors or suppliers ("business partners"), when that information is obtained in the course of employment with, or other services performed on behalf of, the Company. Civil and criminal penalties, and termination of employment, may result from trading on inside information regarding the Company's business partners. All employees should treat material nonpublic information about the Company's business partners with the same care required with respect to information related directly to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.**<u>Post-Termination Transactions</u>**. The prohibitions related to insider trading contained in this Policy continue to apply to transactions in Company securities even after a director, officer or employee has resigned or terminated employment. If the person who resigns or separates from the Company is in possession of material nonpublic information at that time, he or she may not trade in Company securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. The same restrictions apply to contractors who are in possession of material nonpublic information obtained during the course of their engagement with the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.**<u>Communication with the Public</u>**. The Company is subject to the SEC's Regulation FD and must avoid selective disclosure of material nonpublic information. The Company has established procedures for releasing material information in a manner that is designed to achieve broad public dissemination of the information immediately upon its release. Pursuant to Company policy, only the executive officers who have been authorized to engage in communications with the public may disclose information to the public regarding the Company and its business activities and financial affairs. The public includes, without limitation, research analysts, portfolio managers, financial and business reporters, news media and to messages containing information regarding the Company on social media, Internet "bulletin boards," Internet "chat rooms" or in similar online forums. Employees who inadvertently disclose any material nonpublic information must immediately advise the Insider Trading Compliance Officer so the Company can assess its obligations under Regulation FD and other applicable securities laws.

**PART II**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**<u>Trading Blackout Periods</u>**. To ensure compliance with this Policy and applicable federal securities laws, and to avoid even the appearance of trading on the basis of inside information, the Company requires that all Covered Persons

------

determined by the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer as subject to the Blackout Period (as defined below) prohibitions because of their access to the Company's internal financial statements or other material nonpublic information regarding the Company's performance during annual and quarterly fiscal periods and family members of the foregoing, refrain from conducting transactions involving the purchase or sale of the Company's securities during the Blackout Periods established below. Each of the following periods, unless otherwise notified in advance by the Company, will constitute a "Blackout Period":

The period commencing on the date that is 18 Trading Days following the date of public disclosure of the Company's financial results for a fiscal quarter (which is generally 15 to 45 days after the end of such quarter) and ending at the close of business on the second Trading Day following the date of public disclosure of the Company's financial results for its next fiscal quarter if such public disclosure occurs before the markets open on that day. If such public disclosure occurs on a Trading Day after the markets open, the Blackout Period shall end at the close of business on the third Trading Day following the date of such public disclosure.

In addition to the Blackout Periods described above, the Company may announce "special" Blackout Periods from time to time. Typically, this will occur when there are nonpublic developments that would be considered material for insider trading law purposes, such as, among other things, developments relating to regulatory proceedings or a major corporate transaction. Depending on the circumstances, a "special" Blackout Period may apply to all Covered Person and their family members or only a specific group of Designated Insiders. The Insider Trading Compliance Officer will provide written notice to the persons subject to a "special" Blackout Period. Any person made aware of the existence of a "special" Blackout Period should not disclose the existence of the Blackout Period to any other person. The failure of the Company to designate a person as being subject to a "special" Blackout Period will not relieve that person of the obligation not to trade while aware of material nonpublic information. As used in this Policy, the term "Blackout Period" shall mean all periodic Blackout Periods and all "special" Blackout Periods announced by the Company.

The purpose behind the Blackout Period is to help establish a diligent effort to avoid any improper transactions. Trading in the Company's securities outside a Blackout Period should not be considered a "safe harbor", and all directors, officers, employees and other persons subject to this Policy should use good judgment at all times. Even outside a Blackout Period, any person possessing material nonpublic of developments known to the Company and not yet disclosed to the public, each person is individually responsible at all times for compliance with the prohibitions against insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**<u>Exception.</u>** These trading restrictions do not apply to transactions under a pre-existing written plan, contract, instruction, or arrangement under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (an "**Approved 10b5-1 Plan**") that: (i) has been reviewed and approved at least one month in advance of any trades thereunder by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer (or, if revised or amended, such revisions or amendments have been reviewed and approved by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer at least one month in advance of any subsequent trades); (ii) was entered into in good faith by the Covered Person at a time when the Covered Person was not in possession of material nonpublic information about the Company; and (iii) gives a third party the discretionary authority to execute such purchases and sales, outside the control of the Covered Person, so long as such third party does not possess any material nonpublic information about the Company; or explicitly specifies the security or securities to be purchased or sold, the number of shares, the prices and/or dates of transactions, or other formula(s) describing such transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**<u>Trading Window</u>**. Covered Persons are permitted to trade in the Company's securities when no blackout period is in effect. However, even during this trading window, a Covered Person who is in possession of any material nonpublic information should not trade in the Company's securities until the information has been made publicly available or is no longer material. In addition, the Company may close this trading window if a special blackout period under Part II, Section (1) above is imposed and will re-open the trading window once the special blackout period has ended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**<u>Pre-clearance of Securities Transactions</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Because Covered Persons are likely to obtain material nonpublic information on a regular basis, the Company requires all such persons to refrain from trading, even during a trading window under Part II, Section 3 above, without first pre-clearing all transactions in the Company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Subject to the exemption in subsection (d) below, no Covered Person may, directly or indirectly, purchase or sell (or otherwise make any transfer, gift, pledge or loan of) any Company security at any time without first obtaining prior approval from the Insider Trading Compliance Officer. These procedures also apply to transactions by such person's family members and to transactions by entities over which such person exercises control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The Insider Trading Compliance Officer shall record the date each request is received and the date and time each request is approved or disapproved. Unless revoked, a grant of permission will normally remain valid until the close of trading two business days following the day on which it was granted. If the transaction does not occur during the two-day period, pre-clearance of the transaction must be re-requested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Pre-clearance is not required for purchases and sales of securities under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan. With respect to any purchase or sale under an Approved 10b5-1 Plan, the third party effecting transactions on behalf of the Covered Person should be instructed to send duplicate confirmations of all such transactions to the Insider Trading Compliance Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**<u>Prohibited Transactions</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)**<u>Company Insiders Retirement Plan Restrictions</u>**. Company Insiders are prohibited from trading in the Company's equity securities during a blackout period imposed under an "individual account" retirement or pension plan of the Company, during which at least 50% of the plan participants are unable to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer an interest in equity securities of the Company, due to a temporary suspension of trading by the Company or the plan fiduciary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)**<u>Director and Officer Short-term trading Restriction</u>**. Directors and certain officers of the Company must also comply with the reporting obligations and limitations on short-swing profit transactions set forth in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The practical effect of these provisions is that these officers and directors who purchase and sell the Company's securities within a six-month period must disgorge all profits to the Company whether or not they had knowledge of any material nonpublic information. Under these provisions, and so long as certain other criteria are met, neither the receipt of stock or stock options under the Company's stock plans, nor the exercise of options nor the receipt of stock under the Company's employee stock purchase plan, dividend reinvestment plan or the Company's 401(k) retirement plan is deemed a purchase that can be matched against a sale for Section 16(b) short swing profit disgorgement purposes; however, the sale of any such shares so obtained is a sale for these purposes. Moreover, no such director or officer may ever make a short sale of the Company's common stock which is unlawful under Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act. The Company will provide separate memoranda and other appropriate materials to the affected officers and directors regarding compliance with Section 16 and its related rules.

**The rules on recovery of short swing profits are absolute and do not depend on whether a person has knowledge of any material nonpublic information.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)**<u>Covered Persons Restrictions</u>**. Covered Persons, including any person's family member and entities over which such person exercises control, are prohibited from engaging in the following transactions in the Company's securities unless advance approval is obtained from the Insider Trading Compliance Officer:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)**<u>Short Sales</u>**. Engaging in any short sale transaction in the Company's securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)**<u>Options Trading</u>**<u>.</u> Engaging in any transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market. transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term

------

movement of the Company's stock and therefore creates the appearance that the director or employee is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus the trader's attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long- term objectives. Option positions arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the section below captioned "Hedging or Monetization Transactions;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)**<u>Trading on Margin or Pledging</u>**. Holding Company securities in a margin account to cover a margin call or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. Securities held in a margin account may be sold by the broker without the customer's consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. A margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities pursuant to a Blackout Period restriction. Covered Persons holding Company securities in an margin account or pledged as collateral for a loan existing as of the date of the adoption of this Policy will have a grace period of up to a one year to enable the Covered Employee to repay the loan and release all Company shares from the margin account or loan transaction obligations, provided that within 60 days after the date of adoption of this Policy the Covered Person notifies the Insider Trading Compliance Officer of the existence of the margin account or pledge and submits the Covered Employee's written plan to comply with the Policy at the earliest practicable date. A written application for extension of the grace period beyond one year may be made during the grace period. Whether the application for extension is granted shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Insider Trading Compliance Officer and any extension will be subject to the terms and conditions set by the Insider Trading Compliance Officer which may include mandatory reductions in loan amounts or increases in the collateral in the margin account or pledge transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)**<u>Hedging or Monetization Transactions</u>**. Engaging in any purchases or sales of puts, calls, options or other derivative securities based on the Company's securities, or any transactions which are intended as a hedging or monetization transaction. Hedging or monetization transactions are devices that allow an investor in Company securities to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions would allow them to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, their interests and the interests of the Company and its shareholders may be misaligned and may signal a message to the trading market that may not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at the time it is conveyed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.**<u>Individual Responsibility</u>**. Every director, officer and employee has the individual responsibility to comply with this Policy against insider trading, regardless of whether a transaction is executed outside a Blackout Period or is pre-cleared by the Company. The restrictions and procedures are intended to help avoid inadvertent instances of improper insider trading, but appropriate judgment should always be exercised by each director, officer and employee in connection with any trade in the Company's securities.

A director, officer or employee may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company's securities even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the material nonpublic information and even though the insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.**<u>Inquiries</u>**. If you have any questions regarding any of the provisions of this Policy, please contact the Company's Insider Trading Compliance Officer at the following address:
