NOSA Global Holdings Limited (“NOSA”), a member of the Group, is pleased to announce the acquisition of

MICROmega, “the acquisition of these divisions provides NOSA with an experienced team of health and
safety consultants, along with expanding NOSA’s footprint in the occupational hygiene sector.”
