ENDEAVOUR REPORTS ACCESS RAMP SUBSIDENCE AT THE MANA MINE

London, 2 November 2026 – Endeavour Mining plc (LSE:EDV, TSX:EDV, OTCQX:EDVMF) (“Endeavour” or the “Company”) reports that on 28 October the access ramp leading to the depleted Wona open pit partially subsided, restricting access to the Dangouna and Aviera underground portals at the Mana mine in Burkina Faso.

No one was harmed during the incident, and emergency protocols were initiated immediately, which included the evacuation of all underground workers and the notification of the local authorities in Burkina Faso.

Underground mining activities at all three active underground portals at Mana have been suspended to allow for detailed geotechnical analysis and ramp remediation work to be assessed.

Endeavour remains on track to achieve its FY-2026 Group production and AISC guidance. Furthermore, the company is actively evaluating options to mitigate the impact of the incident on Mana’s production, including the restart and acceleration of mining activities in the Wona portal, which remains accessible, and other near-mine open pits.

An update on the ongoing geotechnical analysis and details on the remediation plan will be provided within Q3-2026 financial results, on 12 November 2026.

Maarmorilik Project Development Strategy and High-Grade Results from 2026 Exploration Programme

** Introducing ‘String of Pearls’ development strategy for Maarmorilik area **

** 2026 Exploration Programme yields additional high-grade zinc-lead-silver and critical metal mineralisation **

** Submission of Project Terms of Reference to the Government of Greenland **

2 November 2026 – Amaroq Ltd. (LSE and Nasdaq Iceland: AMRQ, OTCQX: AMRQF), an independent mine development company focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, is pleased to announce the introduction of the ‘String of Pearls’ development strategy for the Maarmorilik area (containing the past producing Black Angel mine) and results from its 2026 exploration programme at Maarmorilik, West Greenland.

High-grade zinc-lead-silver and germanium and gallium was encountered from surface and channel sampling across new, surrounding deposits within the highly prospective Maarmorilik area. The results support and strengthen the Company’s ambition to rapidly advance the development of the Maarmorilik project through its ‘String of Pearls’ development strategy.

The Company is also pleased to announce that the Project Terms of Reference for the Maarmorilik development have been submitted to the Government of Greenland, marking a key step in advancing the project through the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and Social Impact Assessment (“SIA“) processes and on towards production.

Highlights

• The ‘String of Pearls’ development strategy concept for Maarmorilik brings together the past-producing Black Angel & Nunngarut ore bodies with surrounding deposits, the ‘Pearls’, subsequently identified as a result of retreating ice cover and further exploratory work, within a coordinated mining and infrastructure plan.
• New high-grade channel and rock chip sample results up to 62% zinc from the ‘Pearls’:
  • Garde – returned channel sample of 3.1 metres at 17.49% zinc, 8.08% lead and 36 g/t silver, with 159.2 ppm gallium and 107.5 ppm germanium and rock chip results up to 62.2% zinc, 0.1% lead, 7 g/t silver with 261 ppm gallium and 6 ppm germanium
  • Wedge – returned 4.1 metres at 10.05% zinc, 0.5% lead, 5 g/t silver with 181.5 ppm gallium, with rock chip results up to 26.8% zinc, with 517 ppm gallium and 22 ppm germanium
  • Glacier – returned rock chip results up to 32.2% zinc, 9.1% lead, 59 g/t silver with 146 ppm gallium and 241 ppm germanium
  • Myers – returned rock chip results up to 30.6% zinc, 11.1% lead, 37 g/t silver with 55 ppm gallium and 20 ppm germanium
• Massive lead-zinc sulphides were mapped over 350 metres at Garde and 180 metres at Wedge ‘Pearls’. Both targets remain open at surface and are prioritised for resource drilling in 2027.

• Drilling preparation advancing with equipment mobilised and stored on site for an early start to 2027 resource expansion programme.
• Environmental baseline surveys commenced in 2026, with WSP Denmark supporting work towards an Environmental Impact Assessment.
  • Terms of reference for the EIA and SIA for the project were submitted to the Government of Greenland in October, a key step in advancing the project through to development.

Eldur Olafsson, Amaroq CEO, commented:
“Since acquiring the West Greenland Hub assets last year for $10.5m, the team have been working hard at establishing the most efficient and value accretive strategy for the redevelopment of this large and highly prospective area containing the past producing Black Angel mine.

“The ‘String of Pearls’ development concept is specifically designed to exploit the value already contained within the existing MRE over the area, whilst capturing the latent potential from multiple newly identified areas surrounding the existing infrastructure. This is a great example of what Amaroq does best; using existing infrastructure to leverage resource upside and drive cashflow from exceptionally high-grade opportunities. With the Terms of Reference now submitted to the Government for the Maarmorilik development, I am very excited to bring the market updates on this project, as we work towards our target of multi-asset production within Greenland.”

Will Gray, Maarmorilik Project Manager for Amaroq, commented:

“We are encouraged by the high-grade and, in some cases, exceptional, results from our 2026 exploration sampling programme at Maarmorilik. For context, established operations such as Garpenberg in Sweden processed ore averaging approximately 3% zinc, 1.3% lead and 96 g/t silver in 2025. While our exploration samples are not directly comparable with mine head grades, the zinc and lead grades returned from Maarmorilik underline the potential we are working to define.

“With drilling equipment already positioned on site, we are excited about the 2027 campaign, targeting resource expansion and advancing the individual ‘Pearls’ towards inclusion in the mineral resource base as we establish Maarmorilik’s full potential.”

Introducing the String of Pearls strategy for the development of Maarmorilik area

Amaroq’s development concept brings together the past producing Black Angel & Nunngarut ore bodies with surrounding deposits, the ‘Pearls’, subsequently identified as a result of retreating ice cover and further exploratory work, within a coordinated mining and infrastructure plan. The approach seeks to develop successive sources of mineralisation while advancing access to the Archangel Zone (previously known as the Deep Ice Zone, DIZ) and testing extensions.

Garde and Wedge join Glacier and Ark as potential shallow and accessible mining opportunities, subject to drilling and engineering assessment. Mapping at Garde and reinterpretation of folding at Wedge indicate potential for thicker sulphide zones down dip. These targets, together with the previously identified high-grade Archangel Zone, will inform the planned 2027 drilling programme.

The Company has produced Episode 7 of its documentary series, String of Pearls, filmed on location at Maarmorilik in September 2026. The episode follows the Amaroq team across the Maarmorilik area and sets out the thinking behind the String of Pearls development strategy. It is available on the Company’s YouTube channel at:

Project Terms of Reference submitted to the Government of Greenland.

On 30 October 2026, Amaroq submitted Project Terms of Reference to the Government of Greenland. This is the first step in gaining mining approval as the Company works towards advancing the project to development. The process comprises Government review and public pre-consultation on the proposed project, followed by approval of the final Terms of Reference ahead of the granting of an exploitation licence.

Updating the resource base and defining expansion potential

WSP is reviewing Maarmorilik’s historical MRE of 3.7 million tonnes, together with a further approximately 700,000 tonnes of historically identified mineralised material considered a near-term opportunity for resource definition. The work aims to establish an updated MRE compliant with NI 43-101 and assess a separate Exploration Target to guide expansion under the Company’s ‘String of Pearls’ strategy. It is anticipated that there will be a large Exploration Target, which the Company believes has a strong geological basis, given previous mining, diamond drilling, observed mineralisation and multiple supporting assays.

Targeted verification and engineering studies will assess the additional material’s potential for inclusion in the updated/future MREs.

Technical disclosure

Channel intervals are reported as sampled lengths, rather than confirmed true widths. Rock-chip and grab samples are selective and may not represent the overall grade of a deposit. Germanium and gallium results demonstrate their presence; recovery into saleable products and potential economic contributions remain to be established.

Sampling and QAQC Disclosure

A series of rock chip samples were collected from the Maarmorilik area in West Greenland. Rock chip samples were collected from outcrops using geological hammers and placed into calico cotton sample bags with a numbered sample ticket.

Channel samples were cut perpendicular to mineralisation, as continuous samples typically 1-2 metres in length, using a diamond blade rock saw and placed into calico cotton sample bags with a numbered sample ticket.

All samples were packaged and sent to an accredited laboratory, ALS Geochemistry, Loughrea, Ireland, for analysis. Preparation scheme PREP-31BY was used on all samples. This involves crushing to 70% under 2 mm, rotary split off 1 kg, and pulverizing the split to better than 85% passing 75 microns.

Samples were analysed for 52 elements using sodium peroxide fusion method ME-MS89L with ICP-MS finish. Overlimit samples were then analysed with four-acid digestion ICP-AES method ME-OG62h for Zn, Pb and Fe. Selected samples were analysed using 50 g fire assay method Au-ICP22 and multielement method ME-ICP61 which uses a four-acid digestion paired with ICP-AES analysis for 34 elements. Six samples were analysed for organic carbon with method C-IR06.

Grab sample QAQC procedures consisted of the insertion of blanks and certified reference materials (“CRMs” or “Standards”) at a rate of 1 in 20 or 5% per QAQC type. In addition, ALS insert blanks and standards into the analytical process.

Aspo Plc Interim Report November 2, 2026 at 9.00 EET

Aspo Plc’s Interim Report, January 1 – September 30, 2026: Demerger preparations progressed

This is a summary of the Interim Report January 1 – September 30, 2026 of Aspo Plc. The complete report is attached to this release and available at aspo.com.

July – September 2026

• Net sales from continuing operations was EUR 134.2 (108.1) million
• Comparable EBITA from continuing operations was EUR 8.5 (7.6) million, 6.3% (7.1%) of net sales. The comparable EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 2.5 (3.5) million and of Telko EUR 6.5 (4.8) million
• EBITA Group total was EUR 7.5 (10.3) million. EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 2.2 (4.6) million and of Telko EUR 6.3 (4.8) million and discontinued operation EUR 0.0 (1.8) million
• Comparable ROE Group total was 10.3% (14.1%)
• Comparable earnings per share from continuing operations were EUR 0.15 (0.09)
• Free cash flow was EUR -2.1 (-8.5) million mainly driven by investments in vessels and decrease in inventories

Figures from the corresponding period in 2025 are presented in brackets.

January – September 2026

• Net sales from continuing operations was EUR 379.4 (349.8) million
• Comparable EBITA from continuing operations was EUR 26.4 (22.4) million, 7.0% (6.4%) of net sales. The comparable EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 9.5 (12.7) million and of Telko EUR 19.4 (13.5) million
• EBITA Group total was EUR 37.3 (26.9) million. EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 9.2 (12.3) million, Telko EUR 19.1 (13.5) million, and discontinued operation EUR 13.1 (5.0) million
• Comparable ROE Group total was 16.8% (13.4%)
• Comparable earnings per share from continuing operations were EUR 0.65 (0.33)
• Free cash flow was EUR 33.2 (0.3) million driven by the divestment of Leipurin and investments in vessels.
• On March 2, 2026, Aspo completed the divestment of Leipurin to Lantmännen at an enterprise value of EUR 63 million.
• On August 3, 2026, Aspo Plc’s Board of Directors approved the demerger plan. The demerger is conditional upon approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspo, to be held on December 7, 2026.

Guidance for 2026

Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations is expected to increase compared with the previous year (EUR 29.4 million in 2025).

Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations excludes Leipurin, which is reported as a discontinued operation. The divestment of Leipurin was completed on March 2, 2026.

Assumptions behind the guidance
Economic growth is expected to slowly revive throughout the year in our core markets. However, geopolitical uncertainty, war in Iran, and global trade tensions may have a negative impact on economic growth, inflation, global trade and supply chains going forward. Aspo’s profit improvement for 2026 is expected to come mainly from various profit improvement actions in Telko and ESL Shipping, continued synergy capture facilitated by Telko’s new operating model, fleet renewal and improved fleet utilization in ESL Shipping and a reduction of Aspo-level costs. Expenses related to the execution of Aspo’s strategic transformation are excluded from Aspo’s comparable EBITA.

For ESL Shipping, demand is expected to grow in the fourth quarter of 2026, with spot market pricing also expected to improve.

For Telko, underlying volume demand is expected to be stable or slightly increase compared with the previous year. Price levels are expected to remain stable in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared with the current levels. Rapid changes in market prices continue to be possible due to market volatility.

Rolf Jansson, CEO of Aspo Group comments on the third quarter of 2026

“Aspo’s financial performance continued to improve in the third quarter of 2026. Aspo’s net sales from continuing operations in the third quarter grew by 12.4% compared to the same quarter in the previous year, when disregarding the income generated from the sale of one Green Coaster to the investor pool during the third quarter of 2026. Aspo’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations was EUR 8.5 (7.6) million, equaling 6.3% (7.1%) of net sales.

In the third quarter, ESL Shipping’s financial performance was dissatisfying with a comparable EBITA of EUR 2.5 (3.5) million. Profitability development was impacted by weak demand in most customer segments except for the steel industry and project cargo, and relatively low utilization rate of vessels. However, we already have strong evidence that the investments in the next generation fleet will both improve efficiency as well as support organic growth. In addition, the ongoing development program will improve fleet capacity utilization.

Telko’s financial performance continued to develop favorably with a comparable EBITA of EUR 6.5 (4.8) million. Net sales grew with 8.9% primarily driven by favorable market price development against previous year. Profitability development was particularly driven by top-line growth, combined with strong sales margin development and successful profitability improvement actions. The market continued to develop favorably for specialty chemicals distributors, with a continued outsourcing trend of producers’ commercial activities and overall, favorable market price development.

The Board of Directors of Aspo approved a demerger plan concerning the separation of ESL Shipping into a new listed company on August 3, 2026. The separation of ESL Shipping from Aspo aims to enable each business to more effectively execute its own focused strategies and profit growth opportunities and to increase the shareholder value.

Preparations for completing the demerger of Aspo on December 31, 2026, have since then progressed as planned. The future governance structures of both companies have been announced and actions executed for enabling ESL Shipping and Telko to operate as stand-alone companies.

If the planned demerger will be executed on December 31, 2026, this is the last quarter reporting Aspo’s financials with the current Group structure. The heritage of Aspo will continue as part of both ESL Shipping and Telko. Aspo Plc is planned to be renamed as Telko Group Plc in connection with the demerger. I want to thank all the parties who have been involved on this exciting journey!”  

Aspo Group

Progress towards Aspo’s strategic vision

On May 14, 2024, Aspo announced a vision to form two separate companies (Aspo Infra and Aspo Compounder). The goal was to enable value creation and continued growth for the businesses and to investigate strategic alternatives for them. On November 3, 2025, Aspo provided more detailed information on the main alternatives for the strategic evaluation: a divestment of ESL Shipping or the partial demerger of Aspo.

On August 3, 2026, the Board of Directors of Aspo completed its review and assessment of the strategic alternatives. As a result, the Board of Directors approved a demerger plan concerning a partial demerger of Aspo. According to the demerger plan, all shares in ESL Shipping Ltd held by Aspo together with the related assets and liabilities, will be transferred to a new, independent listed company, to be named ESL Shipping Group Plc. Aspo Plc would be renamed Telko Group Plc in connection with the demerger.

The demerger is conditional upon approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of Aspo, which will take place in Helsinki on December 7, 2026. The invitation to the Extraordinary General Meeting was published October 21, 2026. The resolution on the approval of the Demerger Plan and on the partial demerger shall be made by a qualified majority of two-thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As part of the resolution on the demerger, the Extraordinary General Meeting shall decide on the members of the Board of Directors of both ESL Shipping Group and Telko Group.

In addition to the approval of the Extraordinary General Meeting, the demerger is conditional for the decision by Aspo’s Board of Directors to complete the demerger. The demerger is also conditional for the share exchange agreement signed by ESL Shipping Ltd, Aspo Plc and Lighthouse HoldCo Ky remaining in force on the completion date of the demerger. The planned completion date of the demerger is December 31, 2026.

Based on the assessment of the Board of Directors of Aspo, the demerger could increase shareholder value by enabling each business to more effectively execute its own focused strategies and profit growth opportunities. Due to the independent and separate operations of ESL Shipping Ltd and Telko Ltd, only limited synergies currently exist between the businesses. The businesses of Aspo differ significantly across several dimensions, including strategic focus, capital expenditure requirement, business time horizon, key performance indicators, and ESG focus areas. The demerger is expected to improve the performance and profitability of ESL Shipping Group and Telko Group through a reduction of complexity and stronger and unshared focus of the management and the Board of Directors. In addition, as two standalone companies, ESL Shipping Group and Telko Group could achieve faster organic and inorganic growth thanks to more tailored financing solutions and targeted capital allocation. Telko Group would benefit from having a more moderate leverage while implementing its new growth strategy. The new corporate structure would also allow the use of Telko Group’s shares for M&A purposes. Additionally, the independent companies could implement their growth strategies in parallel without being constrained anymore by the current conglomerate structure and prioritized development activities. 

Preparations for ESL Shipping Group to operate as an independent listed company and to achieve full IPO readiness have progressed according to plan. All agreements for financing the ongoing investment programs of next generation vessels and working capital have been signed. In November 2026, Aspo will publish a demerger and listing prospectus which will contain more detailed information on the demerger and the listing of ESL Shipping Group. In addition, the Capital Markets Day events on November 24, 2026, will offer deep dives to the growth strategies of both ESL Shipping Group and Telko Group.

Financial targets

The Board of Directors of Aspo has approved new medium-term financial targets and dividend policies for both ESL Shipping Group and Telko Group. The following financial targets and dividend policies are conditional upon the completion of the demerger and will become effective on the demerger completion date.

ESL Shipping Group:

• Comparable EBIT more than EUR 40 million in 2030
• Return on equity above 20%
• Equity ratio above 35%
• The goal is to annually distribute approximately 50% of profit for the period in dividends

The financing of ESL Shipping Group’s investment program will affect the equity ratio and dividend-paying capacity in the coming years, for the duration of the current significant investment program.

Telko Group:

• Net sales more than EUR 500 million in 2030
• Comparable EBITA margin above 8% in 2030
• Return on equity above 20%
• Net debt to comparable EBITDA below 2.5x
• The goal is to annually distribute approximately 30% of profit for the period in dividends

• Free cash flow was EUR -2.1 (-8.5) million mainly driven by investments in vessels and decrease in inventories

Figures from the corresponding period in 2025 are presented in brackets.

January – September 2026

• Net sales from continuing operations was EUR 379.4 (349.8) million
• Comparable EBITA from continuing operations was EUR 26.4 (22.4) million, 7.0% (6.4%) of net sales. The comparable EBITA of ESL Shipping was EUR 9.5 (12.7) million and of Telko EUR 19.4 (13.5) million

• Comparable ROE Group total was 16.8% (13.4%)

• On August 3, 2026, Aspo Plc’s Board of Directors approved the demerger plan. The demerger is conditional upon approval by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Aspo, to be held on December 7, 2026.

Guidance for 2026

Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations is expected to increase compared with the previous year (EUR 29.4 million in 2025).

Aspo Group’s comparable EBITA from continuing operations excludes Leipurin, which is reported as a discontinued operation. The divestment of Leipurin was completed on March 2, 2026.

Assumptions behind the guidance
Economic growth is expected to slowly revive throughout the year in our core markets. However, geopolitical uncertainty, war in Iran, and global trade tensions may have a negative impact on economic growth, inflation, global trade and supply chains going forward. Aspo’s profit improvement for 2026 is expected to come mainly from various profit improvement actions in Telko and ESL Shipping, continued synergy capture facilitated by Telko’s new operating model, fleet renewal and improved fleet utilization in ESL Shipping and a reduction of Aspo-level costs. Expenses related to the execution of Aspo’s strategic transformation are excluded from Aspo’s comparable EBITA.

For ESL Shipping, demand is expected to grow in the fourth quarter of 2026, with spot market pricing also expected to improve.

For Telko, underlying volume demand is expected to be stable or slightly increase compared with the previous year. Price levels are expected to remain stable in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared with the current levels. Rapid changes in market prices continue to be possible due to market volatility.

• Aspo-Interim-Report-Q3-2026

The company returns to growth in the third quarter; EBITDA rises 10% to EUR 882,000

Madrid, November 2, 2026.- Listed technology services company Lleida.net (BME:LLN, EPA:ALLLN) posted revenue of EUR 4.666 million in the third quarter of 2026, up 6% on the same period of 2025.

EBITDA rose 10% to EUR 882,000, and profit before tax rose 15% to EUR 213,000, according to the unaudited consolidated figures for the quarter.

This is the first quarter of 2026 with year-on-year sales growth. The increase comes from the Registered Electronic Notification and Other SaaS lines, which together total EUR 1.273 million and account for 27.3% of revenue, compared with 21.3% a year earlier.

The figure reflects the company’s change of business model, geared towards a portfolio of thousands of end customers.

End-customer lines are gaining weight over the wholesale business: ICX Wholesale Solutions goes from 37.1% to 35.3% of sales.

Sales by business line

Registered Electronic Notification grew 16% to EUR 655,000, the highest third-quarter figure in the company’s series since 2020.

The line is driven by registered email, the service companies and law firms use to prove the prior negotiation attempt (MASC) required by Organic Law 1/2025 since April 2025.

Other SaaS was the fastest-growing line, up 66% to EUR 618,000, the highest third-quarter figure since 2020.

Registered Electronic Contracting fell 3% to EUR 809,000.

ICX Wholesale Solutions, the wholesale line and the largest by revenue, rose 1% to EUR 1.645 million, and has grown in the third quarter for the third consecutive year since the low of EUR 1.349 million in 2023.

At the same time, SMS Solutions slipped 5% to EUR 939,000, the second-best third quarter in its series.

“Registered Electronic Notification and Other SaaS post their best third quarter and already account for more than a quarter of sales. The change in our model towards the end customer is starting to show in the income statement,” said Sisco Sapena, founder and CEO of Lleida.net.

“We grew sales by 6% and EBITDA by 10%, and cut net debt by EUR 474,000 in a single quarter,” he added.

Year-on-year comparison (Q3 2025 vs Q3 2026)

Gross margin rose 7% to EUR 2.554 million, equivalent to 54.7% of sales, 0.2 percentage points higher than a year earlier.

Personnel expenses fell 2% to EUR 1.399 million, and external services rose 25% to EUR 501,000.

Excluding capitalized R&D of EUR 228,000, EBITDA was EUR 654,000, up 15%. EBITDA equals 35% of gross margin, compared with 34% a year earlier.

Operating profit rose 40% to EUR 290,000, after depreciation and amortization of EUR 557,000 and a provision for customer balances of EUR 36,000.

The third quarter of 2025 included EUR 113,000 in staff severance payments, with no equivalent this year.

Net financial expense was EUR 50,000, compared with EUR 31,000 a year earlier, and exchange rate differences subtracted EUR 27,000.

Financial position

Total financial debt fell by EUR 511,000 in the quarter to EUR 5.789 million at September 30, 2026. Short-term debt stood at EUR 3.307 million and long-term debt at EUR 2.482 million.

Net financial debt fell 9% to EUR 4.657 million, with cash and liquid assets of EUR 1.132 million. Since year-end 2025, net debt has fallen by EUR 1.128 million, or 19%.

The net financial debt to EBITDA ratio fell to 1.41x, from 1.63x at June 30.

Founded in 1995, Lleida.net is one of Europe’s leading providers of registered notification, electronic contracting and digital signature services. The company holds more than 300 patents in more than 60 countries and is listed on BME Growth (Madrid) and Euronext Growth (Paris), as well as in Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

Bajaj, MD, MS, FAASLD, of Virginia Commonwealth University.

MASH Diagnostics – Unlocking the opportunity as MASH treatment uptake expands

“Beyond the Biopsy” National Implementation Forum – November 4, 2026 | Global Liver Institute’s Initiative
The Global Liver Institute’s “Beyond the Biopsy “ National Implementation Forum will bring together clinical experts, patients, and diagnostics and pharmaceutical companies to address the practical barriers to implementing non-invasive MASH diagnostics at scale. Building on patient experiences and insights about LITMUS and NIMBLE, discussions moderated by Professor Brent A. Tetri, MD, will examine how to translate diagnostic innovation into real-world implementation across clinical pathways, access, reimbursement and policy. This involvement further strengthens GENFIT’s ties with Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, Madrigal and other leading pharmaceutical companies at the forefront of bringing new treatment options to tens of millions of patients in need. Larry Holden, CEO of the Global Liver Institute commented: “We are reaching an important inflection point in MASH: effective treatments are becoming available, making the ability to identify the right patients, particularly those with at-risk MASH, increasingly critical. Bringing together diagnostic innovators such as GENFIT, leading drug companies including Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and Madrigal, clinical experts from hepatology to endocrinology, patients and payers around the same table is exactly the type of dialogue needed to move from scientific progress to real-world implementation. As a pioneer in non-invasive MASH diagnostics, GENFIT has helped shape the field and continues to drive its evolution, with a clear vision of a future where therapeutic advances go hand in hand with effective patient identification and disease monitoring.”

Expert Panel – November 6, 2026 | Non-Invasive Diagnostics for At-Risk MASH
NIS^TM Technology Reshaping Patient Identification and Access to Care¹
Professor Vlad Ratziu, MD, PhD (Sorbonne University, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, IHU ICAN) and Professor Kenneth Cusi, MD, FACP, FACE (University of Florida, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism) will share complementary hepatology and metabolic disease perspectives, while Wayne Eskridge and Henry Chang from the Fatty Liver Foundation will highlight how a simple and reliable blood-based technology could transform the patient journey and improve patient outcomes. Ashley Hamilton Chasick (Global Lead, Diagnostics Partnerships, Novo Nordisk), will complement these perspectives with an industry view on the importance of adopting non-invasive diagnostics in clinical practice to support earlier identification and monitoring of patients with at-risk MASH. The discussion will address current challenges in identifying and managing patients with at-risk MASH, a population characterized not only by fibrosis, but also by disease activity. It will highlight the growing role of non-invasive diagnostics as treatment uptake expands, and the potential contribution of GENFIT’s NIS™ Technology. Independent consortia in the US and Europe have validated GENFIT’s technology: NIMBLE identified it as the only one, among those evaluated, specifically intended to diagnose at-risk MASH, while LITMUS showed that it achieved the highest diagnostic accuracy among the blood-based, imaging and combined modalities evaluated for at-risk MASH. At-risk MASH is consistent with the population enrolled in the pivotal Phase 3 trials that supported the approval of currently approved MASH therapies.

GENFIT’s partner Ipsen is also expected to communicate on elafibranor during The Liver Meeting® 2026.
