9 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents 2. Operating Environment and Regulation 2.1. Business and Environment Effective April 1, 2022, in pursuit of complete energy independence from Russian gas and in response to Russia’s energy blackmail in Europe and the war it instigated in Ukraine, Lithuania has completely phased out Russian gas: the Lithuanian gas transmission system operates without any imports of Russian gas. Lithuania’s entire gas demand is met through the Klaipėda liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, the Santakos entry point (receiving gas from Poland), and the Kiemėnai entry point (receiving gas from Latvia). Gas transiting through Lithuania continues to be transported to meet Kaliningrad’s needs, but under a different technical regime than usual, ensuring only the transmission of the volume of gas necessary for transit. During the first half of 2026, 21.2 terawatt-hours (TWh) of gas were supplied to Lithuania, excluding gas transported to the Kaliningrad region. This represents a 29.1 percent increase compared to the first half of 2025, when 16.5 TWh of gas were transported to Lithuania. Via the gas pipeline interconnection with Latvia, 8.8 TWh of gas was transmitted to meet the needs of the other Baltic countries and Finland, which is 46.8 percent more compared to the first half of 2025, when 6.0 TWh of gas was transported toward the Baltic countries. A total of 2.3 TWh of gas was transmitted via the gas pipeline interconnection to Poland, which is 40.0 percent more compared to the first half of 2025, when 1.6 TWh of gas was transported to Poland. Gas consumption in Lithuania in the first half of 2026 has increased. During the first half of 2026, 10.1 TWh of gas was consumed in Lithuania, which is 16.2 percent more than in the first half of 2025, when gas demand amounted to 8.7 TWh. The Klaipėda LNG terminal remains the most important source of gas supply for Lithuania and the Baltic states. In the first half of 2026, the majority of gas supplied to Lithuania was delivered via the Klaipėda LNG terminal—18.6 TWh, or 87.8 percent of the total volume of gas supplied. 0.5 TWh (2.4 percent) was supplied from Latvia, 1.9 TWh (8.7 percent) from Poland, and 0.2 TWh (1.1 percent) from biogas producers. Full utilization of the Klaipėda LNG terminal is guaranteed through 2033, meaning that 33 TWh of the terminal’s capacity will be allocated to its customers each year. The volumes of biomethane injected into Lithuania’s gas transmission and distribution systems continue to grow. In the first half of 2026, 242.9 GWh of biomethane was injected into the systems—164.2 percent (or 2.6 times) more than in the first half of 2025. By comparison, 55.5 GWh in 2024, and 91.9 GWh in 2025. During the first half of 2026, one biogas production facility was connected to the Amber Grid transmission network. In the context of combating climate change, ensuring energy security, and transforming the energy system, the role of natural gas in Lithuania is gradually changing. Although stricter European Union environmental requirements, the expansion of renewable energy sources, and more efficient energy use will reduce natural gas consumption in the long run, natural gas remains an important transitional energy source for industry, the heat and electricity generation sectors, and for ensuring the flexibility of the energy system. In the first half of 2026, the Company’s business priorities continued to be shaped in accordance with the updated National Energy Independence Strategy, which sets the goal of to transition to a climate-neutral energy system, increase energy independence, ensure a secure and reliable energy supply, and develop an energy industry that generates higher added value. In the gas sector, this means placing greater emphasis on infrastructure resilience, ensuring international gas flows, integrating biomethane, and preparing for the development of green hydrogen and other renewable and low-carbon gases. The priorities set for UAB “EPSO-G” in the 2025 update to the government’s letter of expectations are also relevant to the company’s operations: strengthening the physical and cyber resilience of critical infrastructure, increasing international gas flows from the Klaipėda LNG terminal toward Central Europe and Ukraine, developing the hydrogen network in the Nordic and Baltic countries, and expanding green gas infrastructure. In the first half of 2026, the requirements of the European Union’s Hydrogen and Decarbonized Gas Package and the impact of their transposition into national law on the Company’s operations continued to be assessed. These regulatory changes will lay the foundation for the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases into the energy system, as well as for the planning, regulation, and development of hydrogen infrastructure. 2.2. Regulatory Environment – Pricing of Regulated and Other Services Our natural gas transmission operations are licensed. The Company’s license grants it exclusive rights to provide natural gas transmission services throughout the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. We operate under conditions of a natural monopoly, so the prices for our services are regulated by the state. In Lithuania, the National Energy Regulatory Council (hereinafter - NERC) is responsible for regulation and oversight of licensed activities. The Company’s financial results, the funds allocated for necessary operating expenses and investments to ensure the expansion and reliability of gas transmission systems, as well as the ability to finance strategic projects with equity or debt capital, depend on the decisions made by the regulatory authority.

10 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents Amber Grid’s Regulated Service Prices The average price for gas transmission services applied by Amber Grid in 2026 to meet the needs of Lithuanian consumers was 1.52 EUR/MWh. Compared to the average price applied in 2025—1.6 EUR/MWh—it decreased by 5.0 percent. This change was driven by regulatory and cost-differentiation changes provided for in the pricing methodology. On May 27, 2026, NERC approved the natural gas transmission service prices submitted by Amber Grid, which will take effect on January 1, 2027. The average price of natural gas transmission services for Lithuanian market participants in 2027 will be 1.28 EUR/MWh, which is 15.8 percent lower than the average price applied in 2026—1.52 EUR/MWh. The prices, effective as of January 1, 2027, are published on the Amber Grid website. The decrease in gas transmission service prices for 2027 was primarily driven by a lower revenue cap for regulated activities set by NERC, which will amount to 73.96 million euros in 2027—a 10.8 percent decrease compared to 2026. This decrease was primarily driven by a change in the regulatory account and lower costs for technological needs. Planned increases in capacity bookings will also contribute to the tariff reduction. In 2027, transmission service prices at all gas entry points (except for the point of domestic injection of commercial “green” gas (biogas, hydrogen) at the internal injection point into the transmission system) will be kept aligned with the injection prices applied in the neighboring tariff zones of Latvia, Estonia, and Finland—142.77 EUR/MWh/day/year. A 100% discount will be applied at the interconnection point between the Lithuanian transmission system and biogas production facilities (internal injection point), i.e., zero (0) prices will apply. A uniform price for long-term firm capacity is set at all gas exit points—139.65 EUR/MWh/day/year. The variable price for transmission services at exit points will be 0.08 EUR/MWh. Over the past few years, the price of gas transmission services has accounted for just a few percent of the final (consumer) price of natural gas. 2.3. Key Regulatory and Other Legal Changes Legislative initiatives at the national and EU levels, changes in energy and/or energy market regulation, and strategic planning documents for 2026 that have a significant impact on our operations and strategic directions: Amber Grid, acting as the administrator of LNGT funds and implementing NERC Resolution No. O3E-1785 of November 28, 2025, will apply, effective January 1, 2026, an additional natural gas supply security surcharge of –22.27 EUR/(MWh/day/year) to the natural gas transmission price. Due to the negative surcharge, LNGT funds will be refunded to their payers. On the 17th, NERC concluded its public consultation on the multipliers, seasonal coefficients, and discounts to be applied in 2027. Based on the results of the public consultation, the multipliers, seasonal coefficients, and applicable discounts for 2027 will remain unchanged compared to 2026. On the 30th, NERC set the revenue cap for Amber Grid regulated activities—the provision of natural gas transmission services via the natural gas transmission system—effective January 1, 2027. The revenue cap for regulated activities set by NERC for 2027 is 73.96 million euros per year. This is 10.8 percent less than the revenue cap approved for 2026, which amounts to 82.95 million euros. 2026 For more detailed information on Amber Grid’s service prices, see the Amber Grid website. The 5% decrease in 2026 was driven by regulatory and cost-differentiation changes provided for in the pricing methodology (following the public consultation that concluded in early 2025). The decrease in the 2027 tariff was primarily driven by a lower revenue cap set by NERC and planned increases in capacity bookings. January February April 1.6 2025 2026 2027 1.52-5.0% 1.28-15.8%

11 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents On the 27th, NERC approved the gas transmission service prices submitted by Amber Grid, which will take effect on January 1, 2027. The average price of gas transmission services for Lithuanian market participants in 2027 will be 15.8 percent lower than this year and will amount to 1.28 EUR/MWh. In 2026, the average price of transmission services for Lithuanian market participants was 1.52 EUR/MWh. 2.4. Significant Events During the Reporting Period In January Amber Grid, together with its partners “Gasgrid Vetyverkot” (Finland), “Elering” (Estonia), “Conexus Baltic Grid” (Latvia), “GAZ-SYSTEM” (Poland), and “ONTRAS” (Germany), has issued a call to the market to express interest in using the infrastructure of the future Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC). The call for expressions of interest is directed at hydrogen producers, consumers, distribution system operators, hydrogen storage operators, and hydrogen transporters. Market participants are invited to submit preliminary information on hydrogen production and consumption, infrastructure plans, and international transportation needs via the hydrogen corridor. On January 7, Amber Grid and the electricity transmission system operator Litgrid organized an online event to present, as part of the public consultation with the market, the first-ever joint electricity, gas, and hydrogen network development scenario for the period 2026–2035, which is being submitted for public consultation with the market—the first of its kind in Lithuania—and which will serve as the basis for the national ten-year (2026–2035) electricity, gas, and hydrogen network development plans. In February Amber Grid, together with transmission system operators from the Baltic states, Finland, and Poland, as well as LNG terminal operators and the Ukrainian transmission system operator, organized an international webinar to present the Amber Gas Corridor initiative and the benefits of the gas transportation route it offers. The event was attended by approximately 200 representatives of foreign gas supply companies. A survey of foreign suppliers conducted after the webinar revealed which factors are most important when selecting a gas transportation route. The survey results served as the basis for further refinement of the “Amber Gas Corridor” initiative. February saw the highest volume of gas transmitted from Poland to Lithuania—1.38 TWh. Until that, the highest volume had been transported in June 2023—0.686 TWh. On March 24, Amber Grid and the electricity transmission system operator Litgrid presented the results of the public consultation on the joint scenario for the development of electricity, gas, and hydrogen networks for the period 2026–2035. The development of the joint scenario was one of the first steps in the transmission system operators’ ten-year network developement planning process; network developement plans were prepared based on this scenario. With biomethane production growing rapidly in Lithuania this April, new export opportunities are emerging— The Renewable Gas Guarantees Registry, administered by Amber Grid, has joined the European ERGaR (European Registry for Renewable Gas) platform, which connects registries of renewable gas guarantees and facilitates the secure and standardized exchange of these guarantees among European countries. This has made it easier to export biomethane produced in Lithuania to the German market and to trade more efficiently with other European countries. On April 30, 2026, the NERC established the upper limit on revenue from the regulated activities of Amber Grid, AB in providing natural gas transmission services through the natural gas transmission system, effective as of January 1, 2027. The revenue cap set by NERC for 2027 is 73.96 million euros per year. This is 10.8 percent less than the revenue cap approved for 2026, which amounts to 82.95 million euros. In April, Lithuania saw a significant breakthrough in the field of renewable energy—nearly 41 GWh of biomethane was fed into the gas transmission system. This is nearly three times more than in April of last year, when 15 GWh was supplied. On May 08, Board Member Karolis Švaikauskas submitted a letter of resignation from his position as a member of the Company’s Board, effective August 1, 2026. On the 27th, the NERC approved the lower service prices set by Amber Grid, the Lithuanian gas transmission system operator, for 2027. Thanks to responsible financial management and technological planning, the average price of gas transmission services for Lithuanian market participants will decrease by 15.8 percent 2026 January May February March April May

17 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents 3.2. The Key Projects Through 2035 and the Value They Create In implementing the Group’s strategy, we plan to develop many ambitious projects that will help us achieve our strategic goals. Key projects already implemented and planned for development: Hydrogen network ~500 km Estimated total length of the hydrogen network in Lithuania ≥26 TWh / year Developed international green H₂ capacity by 2035, reaching 100 TWh by 2050 Amber Grid aims to develop a transmission network for a new energy vector—hydrogen— in Lithuania and connect it to neighboring EU countries. The Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor project has been recognized as a Project of Common Interest (PCI) by the EU. Through this project, we aim to create a hydrogen corridor for transporting green hydrogen from Finland and the Baltic countries to the Central and Northwestern EU markets, and to facilitate the development of a renewable hydrogen market in the Baltic Sea region. We also aim to accelerate the green transition by developing hydrogen infrastructure and creating the conditions for a competitive, pan-European market for low-carbon renewable hydrogen. The development of Lithuania’s hydrogen network is crucial for facilitating hydrogen transit through the Nordic and Baltic corridor and for utilizing these resources to meet the country’s needs. The network is scheduled to become operational after 2033. Modernization of gas compressor stations 2 Gas Compressor Stations Undergoing Modernization “CCS Baltic Consortium” is the first project in the Baltic states aimed at capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) during cement production. The project aims to establish a CO₂ capture and transport value chain in Lithuania and Latvia, enabling the transport of CO₂ to ports and subsequently to a permanent offshore storage site. One of the first steps is to conduct a feasibility study that will include selecting the most efficient method of CO₂ transport. One possible method for transporting captured CO₂ is via pipelines, and the EPSO-G Group sees a role for itself in the development and operation of such pipelines. The capture of CO₂ from fossil fuels and biogenic sources is crucial for creating a climate-neutral economy and ensuring that the EU’s net-zero emissions targets are met in the transportation, electricity generation, and other sectors, both in Europe and in Lithuania, by 2050. The “CCS Baltic Consortium” project has been recognized as a Project of Common Interest (PCI) by the EU. The network could become operational after 2035. In light of the need to reduce technological and tax (emissions trading) costs and cut GHG emissions, Amber Grid has initiated the modernization of the Jauniūnai Gas compressor station. The plan is to install a new electric compressor unit with a capacity of up to 5 MW, along with all necessary infrastructure, at the Jauniūnai Gas compressor station by Q2 2029. Once the Jauniūnai Gas compressor station capacity optimization project is completed, the two existing 11.5 MW gas-powered compressors and the newly installed electric-drive compressor with a capacity of up to 5 MW will be sufficient to ensure the station’s operational reliability. In an effort to replace technologically obsolete equipment, optimize the operation of the transmission system, and meet increasingly stringent environmental requirements, Amber Grid launched a project in 2025 to modernize the Panevėžys gas compressor station. By Q4 2029, the Panevėžys gas compressor station is scheduled to install a new electric compressor unit with a capacity of approximately 10 MW and upgrade the related infrastructure. The new technical solutions will ensure the stability of existing infrastructure capacity and pave the way for its further expansion.

18 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents Since February 2022, in the context of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, and in response to the scale of destruction of strategic energy infrastructure and the geopolitical circumstances in the region, we decided to strengthen the protection of Lithuania’s strategic and critical energy infrastructure facilities against hybrid threats. Together with other companies in the Group, we are implementing the Ministry of Energy’s Program to Enhance the Resilience of Physical Energy Transmission Infrastructure Facilities of Strategic or Critical Importance. Through the implementation of this program, we aim to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure facilities against destruction or disruption, to implement the necessary measures to enhance the resilience of energy systems, prevent threats, and prepare for potential crises. In 2026, we plan to invest over 4 million euros in the resilience of gas transmission systems. With these funds, we have purchased mobile barrier protection measures, are carrying out work to install a system for detecting and neutralizing unmanned aerial vehicles, are implementing perimeter protection and electronic security measures, are building a reserve of critical equipment, and we plan to transfer the protection of the most critical facilities to the Public Security Service. 3.3. Planned Investments Through 2035 One of the most important and largest investment areas in the network development plan—both in terms of investment volume and the number of planned investments (projects)—is the modernization of the main gas pipeline section. Planned investments are intended for the replacement of existing worn-out transmission gas pipelines or the reconstruction of individual sections, the installation of pig launcher and receiver stations (inspection tool launching and receiving chambers), the integration of shut-off valves into the remote control system, and the restoration of pipeline condition based on the results of internal pipeline inspections (in-line diagnostics). Approximately 198 million euros are projected to be allocated to main gas pipeline replacement projects over the next 10 years. The implementation of these projects aims to modernize the existing infrastructure, ensure the safety and reliability of the transmission system, enable more efficient management of gas flows, and ensure the system’s compliance with legal requirements.

To properly plan infrastructure needs and corresponding investments, and in accordance with best practices, Amber Grid and Litgrid conducted their first public consultation in early 2026 on a joint scenario for the development of electricity, gas, and hydrogen networks. During the consultation, planned investment projects and their preliminary values were also presented. The proposals and comments received from market participants were analyzed and coordinated with the interested parties; the assessment was published on March 26, 2026, and based on the agreed-upon scenario for the development of electricity, gas, and hydrogen networks, the Natural Gas Transmission System Operator’s 10-year network development plan was prepared and submitted to NERC at the end of June; NERC will announce a public consultation and make a decision on the plan. 3.5.1. The Natural Gas Transmission System Operator’s 10-Year Network Development Plan In accordance with the provisions of the Republic of Lithuania’s Natural Gas Law, the natural gas transmission system operator Amber Grid prepares a 10-year network development plan every two years. At the end of June 2026, the Company completed the preparation of a new 10-year (2026–2035) network development plan, which it submitted to NERC for evaluation. The goal of the investments outlined in the plan is to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the gas transmission system and to prepare for the long-term energy transition. Key aspects of Amber Grid’s 10-year network development plan include: modernization of existing gas infrastructure elements, ensuring safety, development of alternative energy sources, integration of renewable energy, creation of a hydrogen transport network, synergy between the gas and electricity sectors, and reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Significant attention is being paid to the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and their diversity—biomethane and green hydrogen. When preparing the integrated hydrogen network plan as part of the 10-year network development plan, the needs of potential customers were taken into account. Possible network solutions were coordinated with the electricity transmission system operator Litgrid and its network development plans. 3.6. Process for Updating Strategies and Other Planning Documents The strategy, business plan, annual targets, and other planning-related documents are reviewed annually in accordance with the deadlines set forth in the Group’s Integrated Planning and Monitoring Policy. When updating these plans, we are guided by the written expectations of the Ministry of Energy, as the entity exercising the rights of EPSO-G’s shareholder (most recently, the letter of expectations dated June 23, 2025); the National Energy Independence Strategy (NENS, updated on June 28, 2024); other changes in European Union and national legislation and strategies; and changes in the business environment. To ensure that the objectives of each strategic direction are properly implemented, we assess and monitor the progress of the strategy’s implementation at the end of each quarter.

23 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents 4.2. Operational Results 4.2.1. Gas Transmission Lithuania is a key gas transmission hub, both for our own country and for neighboring states. In H1 2026, a total of 21.3 TWh of gas was transported excluding transit to Kaliningrad. This is 29.1% more than in the same period of 2025, when 16.5 TWh of gas was transmitted. In H1 2026, the gas transmission operator delivered 10.1 TWh of gas to Lithuanian gas consumers, or 16.2% more than in H1 2025 (8.7 TWh). Through Lithuania’s and the other Baltic states’ main gas import source — the Klaipėda LNG terminal — 87.8%, or 18.6 TWh, of all gas transported into the system was supplied in H1 2026, compared with 86.8%, or 14.3 TWh, in H1 2025. Imports via the Klaipėda LNG terminal increased by 30.6% year-on-year, from 14.3 TWh to 18.6 TWh. To meet demand in Latvia, Estonia, and Finland, 8.8 TWh of gas was transmitted via the pipeline interconnection between Lithuania and Latvia. This is 46.8% more than in H1 2025, when transported volumes stood at 6 TWh. Flows to Poland grew by 40%, from 1.6 TWh to 2.3 TWh in 2026, as in 2025 some gas flows continued to be directed toward meeting demand in Ukraine. Thus, gas supply flows to EU countries in 2025 grew by as much as 45.4%. Since Lithuania halted imports of Russian gas in 2022, only gas destined for Kaliningrad is transported via the Lithuania–Belarus interconnection. Gas transit to Kaliningrad amounted to 12.5 TWh in H1 2026, or 22% more than in H1 2025 (10.3 TWh). In H1 2026, 243 GWh of biomethane was injected into the gas transmission system by Lithuanian biomethane producers — 2.6 times more than in H1 2025, when the volume of biomethane injected into the transmission system stood at 92 GWh.

25 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents Creating a value chain for CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage Amber Grid, AB is a partner in the CCS Baltic Consortium project. The project aims to establish a CO₂ capture, transport, and storage system in Lithuania and Latvia, directing the CO₂ to permanent storage sites in the North Sea (local geological storage is not permitted). A preliminary commercial and technical study conducted in 2025 showed that transporting CO₂ via pipelines is a rational, long-term, and economically viable solution. However, due to delays in testing CO₂ capture technologies in 2025, a joint decision was made to postpone the signing of a contract to fund a technical study on pipeline transportation until 2026. Once testing of CO2 technologies is complete, decisions will be made regarding the method of transport and the feasibility of a technical and economic study of the pipeline network. For more information on the EPSO-G group’s plans for the development of the carbon dioxide network, see Section 3.2 of this report. Three projects to connect biogas production facilities (biogas power plants) to the transmission system were completed: shut-off valve stations and other technological equipment necessary for biogas transmission were installed in Pasvalys District (ŽŪB “Vaškai biomethane”), Šakiai District (ŽŪB “IDAR”), and Elektrėnai Municipality (Mockėnai ŽŪB). Reconstruction of the main gas pipeline branch to the Grigiškės gas distribution station was completed in order to change the area’s classification and enable the operator to conduct commercial activities. The length of the reconstructed section is approximately 600 m. The project was financed by the client. Nordic-Baltic Hydrogen Corridor (NBHC) In this project, which aims to create a green H2 transport corridor between Finland and Germany, connecting H2 production, supply, and storage centers in Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany, the key results for the first half of the year include: 2.1. Phase II of the feasibility study, scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027; 2.2. the ongoing phase of the project’s feasibility study, which examines technical and environmental aspects, the launch of the national technical study, and the procurement of economic and financial analysis services.

26 AB “Amber Grid” Integrated Interim Report for the First Six Months Table of Contents Analysis of the Interaction Between the Green Hydrogen Ecosystem and the Electricity Sector This analysis was conducted to assess the potential of Power-to-Gas technologies (electrolyzers) to provide flexibility services to the power system. The results show that, albeit to a limited extent, electrolysis facilities can contribute to the flexibility of the power system. Participation in flexibility markets could help reduce the price of hydrogen and optimize costs; however, the main source of revenue will remain sales of green hydrogen, and production volumes will be geared toward the needs of end users. Satellite Monitoring Around Main Gas Pipelines The project tested an automated satellite data analysis system that uses radar, multispectral, and high- resolution optical imagery. It enables the rapid detection of changes and unauthorized activities around main gas pipelines, ensuring safe gas transmission. The project demonstrated the benefits of satellite data for monitoring and identifying effective solutions. Smart measurement of gas pipeline geometry and contamination This innovation makes it possible to determine the internal diameter of a main gas pipeline, as well as geometric anomalies, bends, ovality, and unmarked components (elbows, tees, reducers), and to assess contamination levels. It uses a foam-filled probe with an integrated smart component, enabling internal diagnostics even for pipelines constructed using older welding technology, where this was previously impossible.

Revenue In the first half of 2026, the Company’s revenue totaled 49.4 million euros, an increase of 14.4 million euros, or 41 percent, compared to the same period in 2025. This revenue growth was driven by the 30 percent higher cap on natural gas transmission revenue set by NERC for 2026. In addition, during the first half of 2026, the total volume of gas transmitted increased by 27 percent compared to the corresponding period in 2025, reaching 33.7 TWh. 4.5.3. Operating expenses The Company’s operating expenses amounted to EUR 26.4 million in H1 2026, a decrease of EUR 4.9 million, or 15.6%, compared to H1 2025 (EUR 31.3 million). The largest positive contribution to the decrease in expenses came from natural gas costs, which fell by EUR 4.8 million. In addition, expenses in the other expense category decreased by EUR 1.0 million due to a one-off CBCA contribution paid in 2025. In the first half of 2026, the largest share of operating expenses consisted of payroll expenses (33%) and depreciation expenses (28%), while natural gas expenses accounted for 10% of total operating expenses.

Operating Results The Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 30.4 million in H1 2026. Compared to H1 2025, this figure was EUR 19.4 million higher (H1 2025: EUR 11.0 million). The EBITDA margin stood at 61.5% in H1 2026 (compared to 31.5% in H1 2025). The growth in EBITDA was mainly driven by a EUR 14.4 million (41%) increase in revenue and a EUR 4.8 million decrease in natural gas costs. 4.5.5. Adjusted Operating Results The recalculation of regulated revenue, expenses, and profitability indicators is carried out due to temporary regulatory deviations from the regulated profitability approved by the NERC. The calculation of adjusted indicators takes into account the revenue correction for prior periods, which has already been approved by a NERC decision when setting the regulated transmission service prices for the reporting period, as well as the deviation between the NERC-approved (regulated) and actual profitability for the reporting period, which will be taken into account by NERC when setting transmission prices for the following period. It also eliminates the effects of asset revaluation and other atypical profit or loss. • Adjusted EBITDA in H1 2026 was EUR 16.3 million (H1 2025: EUR 15.4 million). • Adjusted net profit in H1 2026 was EUR 6.3 million (H1 2025: EUR 6.6 million). • Adjusted average return on equity (ROE) for the trailing twelve months was 5.6% (June 2025: 6.9%). The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher depreciation expenses and return on investment approved by the regulator. Adjusted net profit remained at a similar level.

In 2026, the Company followed the EPSO-G Group’s risk management policy and risk management methodology approved by the Board. These documents established a uniform risk management system based on common principles and in line with best practices, drawing on the COSO ERM (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Enterprise Risk Management) methodology used in international practice.

This policy is available on the “EPSO-G” website. The Risk Management Policy defines the company’s risk appetite—the level of risk that does not exceed the highest risk level. This level (the product of probability and impact, indicating the significance of the risk to the company) is equal to or exceeds 15 points, or is a level that the company’s management bodies agree to accept in order to implement the planned strategy and achieve the set operational objectives. For risks that exceed the established risk appetite, we apply additional management measures. The risk management process (stages) applied at the Company 1. Environmental Analysis: Based on the Company’s internal and external environment, planning documents, and historical results of risk assessments and the monitoring of risk management measures, we identify factors that could prevent the Company from achieving its objectives. By periodically assessing the environment, we aim to adapt to changes and prepare in advance for unforeseen threats. 2. Risk Assessment: We regularly identify, analyze, and assess the Company’s risks, determine their key indicators, and compile a list of them. We also establish a risk appetite, based on which we prioritize the risks listed (taking their level into account). 3. Development of a Risk Management Action Plan: For risks that exceed the risk appetite, we develop the Company’s risk management action plan. 4. Monitoring the implementation of risks and the risk management plan: We continuously monitor the implementation of the Company’s risk list and risk management plan, as well as the Group-level list of risks and their management measures. We regularly submit the results of this monitoring to the Company’s CEO, the Board, and the Audit Committee, in accordance with their respective areas of responsibility. 5. Communication and Information Sharing: We regularly and promptly share information among participants in the risk management process that is relevant to assessing the risks of the Company’s entities and their management. We communicate relevant information about risks and their management to Company employees through staff meetings. The Company identified operational risks for 2026, assessed them, established risk monitoring indicators, and planned risk management measures. After assessing the risks identified and managed by the Company, as well as their level (impact on the Company’s operations), the Amber Grid Board approved the Group’s risk level list. Each quarter of 2026, the EPSO-G Audit Committee assessed changes in the company’s key risk indicators and the effectiveness of risk management, and presented its conclusions and recommendations to the Amber Grid Board. To improve risk management and integration within the Group, an IT tool—the Risk Management Information System (Power App)—was implemented. The tool allows users to enter up-to-date information on risks, generate relevant content from a shared dataset based on their roles, and send reminders or comments related to risk management.

Compliance Management The Company operates a compliance management system based on the application of a three-line-of-defense model and a risk- based approach. The objectives of the Company’s Compliance Management System are: • to protect the Company from financial or reputational damage that may arise from conduct that does not comply with internal and external requirements • to manage compliance risks, mitigate their impact, and reduce the likelihood of their occurrence • to foster a culture of compliance (to encourage our employees to work in accordance with established requirements and to base their actions on our values) Compliance activities within the Company are governed by the Compliance Management Policy. On April 25, 2025, the EPSO-G Board approved a revised version of the Compliance Management Policy, which established the development of a three-year compliance management program and the preparation of annual compliance management plans at Group companies. This policy clarifies and supplements the key compliance management processes and specifies the responsibilities of the entities involved in compliance management. In 2025, we implemented the planned actions of the Group’s 2025–2027 Compliance Management Program. Employees responsible for compliance management functions participated in training sessions organized by the Group to enhance their level of expertise in the field of compliance management. To ensure more effective management of compliance-related information, a Group-wide Compliance Management Registry was implemented. We improved the Company’s monitoring of applicable external legislation—we compiled a list of such external laws, drafted internal regulations governing the monitoring of these laws, and designated individuals responsible for monitoring. We continued to strengthen our personal data protection framework—we developed interactive personal data protection training and approved a standardized form for personal data processing activity records across Group companies. - Significant non-conformities identified during compliance audits conducted at the Company in 20250

Anti-Corruption Activities At the Company, our business decisions are based on the principles of objectivity, impartiality, openness, accountability, and the rule of law, as well as a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption and any corruption-related conduct. We strive to build a transparent and trust-based company, which is why we continuously assess corruption risks and implement measures to manage them. Our anti-corruption efforts are based on the international standard ISO 37001:2016, “Anti-Bribery Management Systems— Requirements and Guidance for Use,” and the following measures we implement within the Company: In 2025, as we do every year, we assessed potential corruption-related risks at the Company in accordance with the Group’s risk management policy and methodology. Following the assessment, we identified the following corruption-related risks at the Company: • Risk of corruption-related violations; • Risk of improper management of conflicts of interest; • Risk of hiring individuals who do not meet legal requirements. We planned management actions to address these risks, which we assessed periodically, once per quarter. We reviewed risk levels and key risk indicators once per month. In 2025, the Company set the following key objectives related to anti-corruption activities: a) to review and update the internal regulations governing the Trust Line; b) ensure that provisions regarding the disclosure of additional activities are incorporated into domestic legislation. In 2024, an international management systems certification body issued Amber Grid a certificate confirming that the company’s anti-corruption management system complies with the requirements of the aforementioned standard. In 2025, a surveillance audit of the issued certificates was conducted at the Company to verify that the implemented anti-corruption management system complies with the standard. It was determined that the Company’s anti-corruption management system is effective. In 2025, as we do every year, we conducted a survey of the Company’s employees on anti-corruption culture. The number of employees participating in the survey remained similar to that of recent years (2025—121 employees; 2024—120 employees; 2023—119 employees). The results of the main survey questions have been consistently positive for several years in a row.

Management of Conflicts of Interest The EPSO-G Group’s governance system encourages employees of Group companies and members of collegial bodies to avoid conflicts of interest, and we ensure a transparent and effective mechanism for disclosing conflicts of interest. The Group operates an integrated model for the declaration of private interests, as defined in the policy on the management of conflicts of interest for employees and members of collegial bodies. Under this model, all private interests of the Group’s employees and members of collegial bodies are disclosed in an internal declaration using a form established by the Group and, where applicable based on their current positions and functions, in the Register of Private Interests (PINREG). Further details on EPSO-G’s Conflict of Interest Management Policy are available on the Company’s website. We actively monitor, control, and oversee private interests within the Company—we assess potential conflicts of interest during the recruitment process, review declarations and analyze the data provided therein, and offer recommendations on how to manage potential conflicts of interest and in which situations the withdrawal from certain actions and/or decision-making is mandatory. In implementing the conflict of interest management policy for employees and members of collegial bodies, and to ensure the proper functioning of the conflict of interest management system, the Group’s Conflict of Interest Management Procedure was developed in 2025, establishing a uniform implementation of the conflict of interest management system across Group companies. In 2025, no cases of bribery of officials in connection with international business transactions, bribery, or other manifestations of corruption were identified at the Company, either abroad or in Lithuania.- 0 As of the end of the reporting period: • Members of the collegial management bodies and executives of the Group’s companies have not acquired any shares in the “EPSO-G” Group companies, with the exception of Amber Grid CEO Nemunas Biknys, who holds 0.001055% of Amber Grid’s shares.

Development and Monitoring of Remuneration Policy On December 7, 2025, Amber Grid implemented the EPSO-G Group’s Employee Remuneration, Performance Evaluation, and Development Policy (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Policy’), which was approved by a resolution of the Board of UAB EPSO-G on October 28, 2025. The Policy applies to all Company employees and is publicly available on the website. The Company’s Board is responsible for developing the EPSO-G remuneration policy and overseeing its implementation. To ensure the proper formulation and monitoring of the remuneration policy and the management of the remuneration budget, a threemember Remuneration and Appointments Committee has been established and operates within the EPSO-G group of companies, with a majority of its members being independent. The main functions of the Remuneration and Appointments Committee are outlined in Section 5.2.2 of this report. In accordance with international best governance practices, EPSO-G’s remuneration policy is approved or amended by the Board following recommendations from the Remuneration and Appointments Committee. 6.2.1. Remuneration Policy The EPSO-G Group’s policy on employee remuneration, performance evaluation, and professional development (hereinafter referred to as the “EPSO-G Remuneration Policy”) is to establish clear and transparent principles for work-based remuneration and performance evaluation, and a remuneration system based on these principles that (i) creates motivating incentives to achieve better results and contribute to the Group’s objectives, (ii) helps attract and retain qualified employees, and (iii) ensures equal pay for equal work or work of equal value, based on objective and transparent criteria. In 2025, the EPSO-G remuneration policy was reviewed and updated to uphold the principles of transparency and clarity, to reflect changes in the context and processes of remuneration management, and to prepare for the implementation of Directive (EU) 2 203/97 0 of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 10, 2023, which, by establishing mechanisms for pay transparency and enforcement, strengthens the application of the principle of equal pay for men and women for equal work or work of equal value (hereinafter referred to as the EU Transparency in Pay Directive). The new version of the remuneration policy was approved by a decision of the EPSO-G Board on October 28, 2025, following recommendations from the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, and took effect at the Group’s other companies on December 7, 2025. Key changes in the updated EPSO-G remuneration policy: • Uniform pay range across the entire Group—the EPSO-G Board approves the pay range for all Group companies at the Group level, ensuring uniform rules and internal equity. • Transparency of pay range—the updated pay range are published on the intranet and is accessible to all Group employees. • Greater remuneration transparency. Employees are guaranteed the right to information about their own remuneration (annual and hourly) and average remuneration levels by gender within the same job category. This provision will take effect on June 8, 2026, in conjunction with the EU Transparency in Remuneration Directive. • The principle is established that only one form of incentive may be awarded for the same achievement, in order to ensure transparency, proportionality, and organizational fairness. • Faster decisions on promoting projects and innovation—decisions are made by the Company’s CEO within the approved budget, and the Board is informed through summary reports. • More development opportunities at the Group level—in addition to company-specific development plans, Group-level plans and programs are also provided, creating more horizontal and vertical career opportunities. More details on EPSO-G’s remuneration, performance evaluation, and development policies can be found here. The Group’s companies, Amber Grid and “Litgrid,” have adopted their own separate remuneration policies for executives and board members, which are approved by the general meetings of shareholders of these companies.

Employees’ monthly remuneration is set within the pay range for the relevant job level (exceptions are possible only in justified cases), and pay ranges are published on the internal information system and are accessible to all Group employees. • Monthly remuneration may vary within the remuneration range for a given position, taking into account the employee’s competencies and qualifications, experience and knowledge, the level of responsibility and autonomy in performing the duties assigned to the position, as well as performance results (including ethical conduct). • The remuneration fund is approved by the companies’ boards. “EPSO-G” Remuneration Policy FINANCIAL REMUNERATION Monthly remuneration, bonuses as stipulated in the Labor Code of the Republic of Lithuania, internal company regulations, and collective bargaining agreements; financial incentives; project-based incentives; incentives for results of exceptional importance; incentives for the implementation of innovations; and additional financial benefits.

Remuneration Policy Principles All companies in the EPSO-G Group apply the same EPSO-G remuneration policy principles, which apply equally to both executives and employees. These principles are set forth in the EPSO-G remuneration policy. Financial Incentives • Financial incentives are a portion of remuneration paid at the employer’s initiative and discretion, linked to the achievement of the company’s goals, financial results, and financial capacity. Financial incentives may be awarded only when the company’s annual targets are met by at least 80 percent (or when the board, after evaluating objective and reasonable circumstances, decides to apply a lower threshold). • An employee’s individual financial incentive depends on the results of a performance evaluation, which includes the achievement of goals, values-based behaviors, and performance quality criteria. A financial incentive is not awarded to an employee when their performance does not meet expectations based on the established evaluation criteria. • Financial incentives for the company’s CEO are awarded by the company’s board (or, if no board has been formed, by the body responsible for appointing the CEO), while those for other employees are awarded by the CEO. • The amount of the financial incentive is provided for in the company’s budget and recorded in the financial results, which are audited and disclosed publicly. Other Forms of Incentives • The EPSO-G remuneration policy also defines other forms of incentives: project-based incentives, incentives for the implementation of innovations, and incentives for results of exceptional importance. Funds for these forms of incentives must be allocated in the company’s annual budget. • Decisions regarding project-based incentives, incentives for the implementation of innovations, and incentives for results of exceptional importance are made by the company’s CEO within the limits of the approved budget, in accordance with the provisions of the policy. Once a year, the company’s board is provided with summary information on the funds disbursed in the previous year for project-based incentives, incentives for innovation, and incentives for results of exceptional importance.
