STATUTORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS STATUTORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company has two insurance subsidiaries operating in Kazakhstan: Freedom Life (a regulated life insurer) and Freedom Insurance (a regulated property and casualty insurance entity). The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 126-II "On Insurance Activities" (the "Insurance Law") is the main law regulating the insurance sector in Kazakhstan. It establishes a framework for insurance activities, registration and licensing of insurance companies and regulation of insurance activities by the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of Financial Market ("ARDFM").
Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance are required by ARDFM to notify it of any proposal to declare or pay a dividend on its share capital, and the ARDFM may, following the notification, decide to restrict such proposed dividend. The amount of dividends these subsidiaries are permitted to declare is limited to the relevant subsidiary's realized retained earnings and dividends can only be paid to the extent they will not cause a breach to the minimum solvency and capital requirements of the relevant subsidiary. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance were in compliance with the ARDFM dividend, minimum solvency and minimum capital requirements. Freedom KZ in its capacity of an insurance holding is also limited in declaration and payment of dividends if such payment leads to breach of capital ratios applicable to Freedom Life and Freedom Insurance.
There are no significant differences between the statutory accounting practices and statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the insurance subsidiaries.
In addition, our subsidiaries operate under various securities brokerage, banking and financial services regulations and must maintain such licenses in order to conduct their operations. As of June 30, 2026, we, through our subsidiaries, held: (a) brokerage licenses (i) in Kazakhstan issued by the NBK and the Astana Financial Services Authority (the "AFSA"), (ii) in Cyprus issued by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission ("CySEC"), (iii) in the United States issued by FINRA, (iv) in Armenia issued by the Central Bank of Armenia, (v) in Uzbekistan issued by the Center of Coordination and Development of Securities Market, (vi) in Kyrgyzstan issued by the Financial Market Regulatory and Supervision Service under the Ministry of Economy and Сommerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, and (vii) in UAE issued by the Abu Dhabi Global Market Financial Services Regulatory Authority; (b) banking licenses (i) in Kazakhstan issued by the ARDFM, and (ii) in Tajikistan issued by the National Bank of Tajikistan; (с) a payment service provider in Kazakhstan registered in such capacity with the NBK, payment services providers in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan holding licenses from the Central Bank of Uzbekistan and the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, respectively; and (d) a securities portfolio management license in Tajikistan issued by the Ministry of Finance of Tajikistan. Our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary is subject to regulatory oversight by U.S. authorities, including the SEC and FINRA, with respect to its brokerage and investment advisory activities in the U.S. In addition, following receipt of a principal approval by the Türkiye's financial regulatory and supervisory authority granted on January 9, 2025, we are in the process of obtaining a license to provide brokerage services in Türkiye.

According to the requirements of the NBK, the regulator of Freedom KZ and Freedom Life, capital is adjusted through subtraction of non-liquid assets. Consequently, net capital for regulatory purposes may be lower than retained earnings balances. For the purposes of capital requirements applicable to Freedom EU, which is regulated by the CySEC and Freedom Global regulated by Astana Financial Services Authority, current year profit is not included within net capital for regulatory purposes, as profits can only be included in net capital after a statutory audit is completed.
