State Street exits substantial holding in Lotus Resources

State Street Corporation and its associated entities, including State Street Bank and Trust Company, SSGA Funds Management, Inc., and State Street Global Advisors, Australia, Limited, ceased to be a substantial holder in Lotus Resources Limited as of October 29, 2025. This follows previous notices given on October 28, 2025, and October 24, 2025.

The primary change in relevant interest stemmed from a "Lend - for stock lend" transaction involving State Street Bank and Trust Company on October 29, 2025. This resulted in a reduction of 12,637,828 ordinary securities and an equivalent number of votes.

The cessation of substantial holding is attributed to a decrease in relevant interests held by the State Street entities through various agreements, including securities lending authorization and global master securities lending agreements. These agreements involve the lending of securities where State Street previously held relevant interests as a lender.
