HONG KONG, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Masonglory Limited (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MSGY), a subcontractor providing wet trades services and other ancillary services in Hong Kong, today announced that on September 25, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with four investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), an aggregate of 667,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.0008 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), at a purchase price of US$1.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$1.0 million (US$1,000,500), before deducting offering expenses.

In addition, for no additional consideration, each Purchaser will receive at the closing of the Private Placement a Series A warrant to purchase up to 166,750 Class A Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$1.30 per share and a Series B warrant to purchase up to 166,750 Class A Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of US$1.10 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable from the date of issuance and have a term of two years from the date of issuance.

The Company expects to complete the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement as soon as practicable, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and to issue the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrants to the Purchasers at the closing.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to fund the continued acquisition of equity interests in Beta Beteiligungs und Besitz GmbH, a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of Austria (the “Target”), which is engaged in the trading and distribution of construction materials, principally bathtubs, hot tubs and swim spas, in Continental Europe. As previously announced on August 13, 2026, the Company entered into a share swap agreement on August 12, 2026 to acquire a 20% equity interest in the Target. The specific percentage of additional equity interests in the Target to be acquired and the consideration therefor are still under negotiation between the Company and the Target, and no definitive agreement in respect thereof has been entered into as of the date of this press release. The Company will make further announcement(s) in respect of the foregoing as and when appropriate.

The Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Private Placement, the Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants have been and will be issued and sold in an offshore transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on applicable exemptions from registration, and will constitute “restricted securities”. Each Purchaser has represented to the Company that it is not affiliated with the Company or any of its directors or officers. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Issy-les-Moulineaux, September 28, 2026

Sodexo’s Board of Directors is proposing the appointment of Nathalie Bellon-Szabo as Chairwoman, subject to the renewal of her mandate at the Annual Shareholders Meeting on December 16, 2026. She would then succeed Sophie Bellon, who has served as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors since 2016.

After leading major strategic transformations over the past decade that have significantly reshaped Sodexo, including the spin-off and listing of its Benefits & Rewards services activity (Pluxee) and the divestment of Sodexo’s stake in Sofinsod, Sophie Bellon has decided not to seek renewal of her mandate as Chairwoman of the Board of Directors.

Throughout her tenure, Sophie Bellon strengthened both the independence of the Board and the quality of its work. She will now focus on Bellon SA, the family holding company, where she will become Chairwoman of the Management Board, while continuing to serve on Sodexo’s Board of Directors, subject to the renewal of her mandate by the Annual Shareholders Meeting.

The Board of Directors would like to extend its warmest thanks to Sophie Bellon for her commitment and her significant contribution to the Group’s transformation over the past ten years.

Nathalie Bellon-Szabo has dedicated most of her career to Sodexo. She has held numerous operational leadership roles and has been a member of the Group Executive Team since 2018. Under her leadership, Sodexo Live! has established itself as one of the global leaders in food services and travel hospitality across the sports, leisure and major events sectors, with revenue increasing fourfold over the past ten years, notably through its expansion in the United States, which has become its largest market. Today, Sodexo Live! is one of the Group’s key growth engines.

Nathalie Bellon-Szabo has served as a Director of Sodexo since 1989 and is a member of both the Nominating Committee and the Sustainability Committee. Her career has given her a deep understanding of the Group, its businesses, clients and teams, as well as extensive experience in its governance. She has also served as a Director of Pluxee since 2024, where she sits on the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and as a Director of Bouygues Group since 2025.

Through this appointment, Nathalie Bellon-Szabo will become non-executive Chairwoman and will step down from her operational responsibilities within the company. Her role will be to lead the work of the Board of Directors, ensure high standards of governance, and enable the Board to support executive management.

This new phase in Sodexo’s governance comes as the Group enters a new chapter in its history with the launch of Shift & Grow 2030, its growth acceleration plan, in July 2026.

Sophie Bellon, Chairwoman of Sodexo’s Board of Directors:

“I would like to warmly thank the members of the Board of Directors for their trust and for the quality of the work we have accomplished together in support of Sodexo’s transformation. After ten years as Chairwoman of the Board, I am particularly pleased that Nathalie will succeed me. Her operational experience and deep knowledge of Sodexo and its businesses will be invaluable assets in supporting the company through this new stage of its development. I wish her every success in her new role. ”

Nathalie Bellon-Szabo, future Chairwoman of Sodexo’s Board of Directors:

“Over the past ten years, Sophie has played a pivotal role in preparing Sodexo for the future, and I would like to thank her. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors and my family for their trust. I bring to this role my deep commitment to our values and our mission, together with my strong conviction that value is created through growth. I fully appreciate the responsibility entrusted to me and will ensure that the Board supports Thierry Delaporte and his leadership team in executing the Group’s strategy. We share a common ambition: to accelerate Sodexo’s growth, remain ever closer to our clients, and further strengthen the Group’s position among the world’s leading companies in its industry.”

About Sodexo 
Founded in Marseille in 1966 by Pierre Bellon, Sodexo is the leader in Food and Services, shaping better everyday experiences at every moment in life: work, heal, learn and play. The Group stands out for its independence, its founding family shareholding and its responsible business model.
