OMNIA HOLDINGS’ RESPONSE TO CYBERATTACK


Omnia Holdings informs stakeholders that it has been subject to a cyberattack on its IT infrastructure.

The Company was alerted to abnormal activity on its network on 12 March 2020 and specialist teams promptly
began investigating the incident. As a precautionary measure, access to the IT infrastructure was immediately
restricted across the business and recovery procedures were implemented.

Seelan Gobalsamy, Omnia CEO, said: “Our production facilities and operations remained unaffected by the
cyberattack and we continue to serve our customers. Whilst the impact on the Group has been minimal to date,
there might be some disruption from an administrative support perspective until the full functionality of the IT
infrastructure has been restored.”

Omnia takes the integrity of its IT network seriously. IT security specialists have been working around the clock
to restore all systems and address disruptions in the most efficient and effective manner.

Omnia will keep all stakeholders updated on developments and progress.
