INTERCEPTOR ACQUISITION COMPLETION
Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited (“EOS” or the “Company”) (ASX:EOS) today announces
the completion of the transaction to acquire the UK-based interceptor business (the
“Interceptor”) from MARSS Group. This transaction was previously announced on 19 November

Under the transaction, EOS has acquired all Interceptor assets as well as the specialist
engineering team that developed the system. The total investment of €5.5m (approximately
A$10m) has been funded from EOS’ existing cash reserves. Development of this advanced
prototype is expected to take a further 12-24 months before full commercial launch. This is
expected to require further investment of up to A$10m over the next three years.
This acquisition broadens EOS’ counter-drone effector portfolio, extends EOS’ software and AI
capabilities and initiates EOS’ presence in the United Kingdom, an important AUKUS partner
market.
Oaklins Henslow, together with Oaklins France acted as corporate advisors to EOS on this
transaction.

Company.
