The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association of Aramex PJSC involve changes to the definition of "Related Party(ies)" and the management structure as outlined in Article (16). The definition now includes the Chairman and members of the Board of Directors, their relatives, senior executive management, employees, and companies with significant ownership stakes (30% or more) by these individuals. It also encompasses parent, subsidiary, sister, or affiliated companies, major shareholders (holding 5% or more), and members of boards of directors of related companies. Additionally, companies where board members or senior executives serve in similar roles are included. The management structure remains unchanged, with the Board of Directors consisting of nine members elected by the General Assembly through secret cumulative voting, as per the governance guide provisions.
The disclosure provides guidance on appointing proxies for attending the General Assembly Meeting as per Article 40 of the Corporate Governance Manual. Shareholders can appoint a proxy, excluding Board members, company employees, or securities brokerage firm employees, with a special authenticated proxy allowing attendance and voting. A proxy representing multiple shareholders cannot exceed 5% of the company's issued share capital in voting rights. Shareholders without legal capacity are represented by lawful representatives. The proxy form must include the shareholder's signature approved by a Notary Public, a commercial chamber, a licensed bank, a UAE financial market, or any licensed signature attestation entity. Shareholders must provide a valid Emirates ID or passport copy for themselves and the proxyholder, along with the proxy form containing contact details of both the shareholder and the attesting entity. For corporate proxyholders, a representative can be delegated through a Board resolution, with necessary documents like Power of Attorney and trade license. The proxy form must include the proxyholder's ID or passport copy and contact details. This disclosure is for guidance, allowing shareholders to define proxy powers and limitations, ensuring the signature on the proxy form matches the attested one. For further inquiries, contact details are provided.

On February 26, 2026, Aramex PJSC announced its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Hawthorne Logistics Solutions Limited, an Ireland-based freight forwarder and logistics company. The acquisition, valued at EUR 2,500,000 with a potential earnout of up to EUR 1,750,000, aligns with Aramex's strategy to expand its cross-border operations and enhance its freight services. The acquisition is expected to bring operational synergies, improved efficiencies, and cross-selling opportunities. The sellers are individuals Martin Cunningham and Terrance John Allen, and the purchaser is Aramex Ireland Limited.

Aramex reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2025. The company achieved stable revenue performance with group revenues reaching AED 6.36 billion for FY 2025, a 1% increase year-over-year. December 2025 marked a historic high in monthly revenue, highlighting strong peak season demand. The product mix continued to shift towards intra-regional trade and warehousing, with Domestic Express and short-haul regional solutions gaining market share. Logistics-led growth was notable, with an 18% increase in revenue driven by strong contract wins and expanded regional capacity. However, gross profit declined due to changes in revenue mix and pricing pressures in certain markets. The Accelerate28 strategy, involving over 300 initiatives, showed early success in operational efficiency and logistics profitability. Aramex maintained a strong balance sheet with a cash balance of AED 573 million and a Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 3.2x. Looking ahead to 2026, the company aims to focus on a product-led approach, margin optimization, and investments in automation and infrastructure under the leadership of a new Group CEO.
