Update on a2 Pokeno regulatory approval process

The a2 Milk Company (the Company, or a2MC) confirms that it has received approval from Ministry for Primary

regulatory approval to transition the two China label infant milk formula product registrations acquired in connection
with the a2 Pokeno facility to a2MC branded products

.
The final step in the process for these registrations to be used as a2MC branded products is to apply for State
Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) approval which will be submitted in December 2025 with the review
process expected to take approximately six months to complete.
Whilst MPI and GACC approvals have been received earlier than expected, at this stage there is no change to the
Company’s timeline regarding potential launch timing of the new products which is expected to be late in 1H27
