Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Values The Commission depends on the following core values in the performance of its staff by which their conduct and behaviour is anchored:
Commission’s Mandate
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a statutory body established under Section 3 of the Securities Act, Chapter 354 of the Laws of Zambia. The Commission is responsible for regulating Zambia’s capital markets to promote fair, efficient and transparent markets, protect investors, facilitate capital formation and contribute to the development of a vibrant and resilient capital markets financial sector. In fulfilling its mandate, the Commission seeks to maintain an appropriate balance between investor protection and capital market development. This is achieved through a regulatory framework that promotes market integrity, enhances public confidence, encourages innovation and supports sustainable economic growth. The Commission also supervises licensed market participants, oversees securities offerings and market transactions, enforces compliance with the law, and promotes financial literacy and investor education. The Commission’s governance framework is established under the Securities Act, which vests the overall responsibility for the governance and strategic direction of the Commission in the Board of Commissioners. In accordance with Section 8 of the Act, the Board is responsible for exercising the powers and functions of the Commission, providing strategic oversight, approving key regulatory and

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 8 policy decisions, and ensuring that the Commission operates in accordance with the principles of transparency, accountability, independence and good corporate governance. While the Board provides strategic leadership and oversight, responsibility for the day-to-day administration and management of the Commission is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and Management, thereby ensuring an effective separation between governance and operational responsibilities. This governance structure reinforces regulatory independence, promotes sound decision-making and supports the Commission in effectively discharging its statutory mandate in the public interest. The specific functions of the Commission as provided under section 9 of the Act are as follows:
a) ensure compliance with the Act and regulations or rules made in accordance with the Act; b) license securities exchanges, regulate the activities of securities exchanges and the settlement of securities transactions; c) license and regulate capital markets operators; d) license and regulate clearing and settlement agencies and other participants in the capital markets; e) license and regulate credit rating agencies and provide conditions for the issuing of credit ratings; f) approve the constitutions, charters, articles, by-laws and rules governing and pertaining to securities exchanges, clearing and settlement agencies and other participants in the capital markets; g) promote and encourage high standards of investor protection and integrity among members of securities exchanges, capital markets operators, clearing and settlement agencies, self-regulatory organisations and other participants in the capital markets; h) support the operation of a free, orderly, fair, secure and properly informed capital markets; i) regulate the manner and scope of securities transactions; j) regulate margin requirements, capital adequacy requirements, disclosure and reporting requirements and clearing and settlement requirements, as may be prescribed; k) take all reasonable steps to safeguard the interest of persons who invest in securities and guard against illegal and improper practices as provided in the Act; l) authorise the establishment of collective investment schemes and other schemes; m) regulate the activities of managers, trustees and custodians; n) authorise and regulate the establishment of private funds; o) consider and suggest proposals for the reform of the Act and rules and regulations made in accordance with the Act; p) promote and develop a system of self-regulation by securities exchanges, clearing and settlement agencies, self-regulatory organisations, other participants in the capital markets and capital markets operators, as maybe prescribed; q) encourage the development of securities and securities exchanges and the increased use of such exchanges; r) provide, promote or otherwise support financial education, awareness and confidence with regard to financial products, institutions and services; s) prescribe certification standards and accreditation for licensees; t) co-operate with, provide assistance to, receive assistance from, and exchange information with other regulatory bodies and trade organisations in Zambia and elsewhere; u) exercise and perform such other functions as may be conferred or imposed upon it by or in

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 9 accordance with the Act or any other written law; and v) vet a substantial shareholder in accordance with the vetting criteria contained in guidelines issued by the Commission, including the substantial shareholder’s source of funds, and the beneficial owner of a company whose securities are registered, or which is authorised or licensed under this Act. IOSCO Core Objectives In discharging its statutory mandate, the Securities and Exchange Commission aligns its regulatory approach with the internationally recognised Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation developed by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). These principles provide the global benchmark for effective securities regulation and guide the Commission’s efforts to promote resilient, transparent and well-functioning capital markets. The Commission’s regulatory activities are underpinned by the following three core objectives of securities regulation:

Protecting investors by promoting confidence in the capital markets and safeguarding their
interests;
Ensuring that markets are fair, efficient and transparent, thereby fostering market integrity and
supporting capital formation; and
Reducing systemic risk through effective supervision, risk-based regulation and timely
regulatory intervention.
As a member of IOSCO and a signatory to the IOSCO Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Consultation and Cooperation and the Exchange of Information (MMoU), the Commission remains committed to applying internationally recognised regulatory standards and strengthening cross-border regulatory cooperation. These principles are embedded in Zambia’s legal and regulatory framework and continue to inform the Commission’s policy development, supervisory practices, enforcement activities and day-to-day regulation of the capital markets. By adhering to these internationally accepted standards, the Commission promotes investor confidence, strengthens market integrity and supports the sustainable growth and competitiveness of Zambia's capital markets.

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 10 Sustainability Report Advancing Sustainable Capital Markets Sustainability is increasingly becoming an integral component of financial market development and economic resilience. As Zambia’s capital markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recognises its responsibility not only to regulate fair, efficient and transparent markets but also to create an enabling environment that supports sustainable investment, responsible business conduct and long-term economic growth in line with the country’s development aspirations. The Commission’s contribution to sustainability extends beyond its internal operations. Through sound regulation, investor protection, good governance, sustainable finance initiatives and strategic partnerships, the Commission continues to facilitate the mobilisation of long-term capital towards productive and environmentally sustainable investments while promoting inclusive economic development. During the 2025 financial year, the Commission continued integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into its regulatory framework, institutional operations and strategic initiatives in support of Zambia’s Vision 2030, the Eighth National Development Plan (8NDP) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Commission’s Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals The Commission’s activities during 2025 contributed directly to the following Sustainable Development Goals:
Sustainable Development Goal SEC Contribution 2025 Highlights SDG 4 – Quality Education Financial literacy, investor education and capacity building The Commission Continued investor education programmes, stakeholder awareness initiatives, staff development programmes and construction of the Capital Markets Training Centre to strengthen technical capacity and market knowledge. Once completed, the facility will serve as a national centre of excellence for capital markets education, professional training, research and stakeholder engagement, supporting long-term market development and financial inclusion. SDG 5 – Gender Equality Promoting inclusive leadership and The Commission remains committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive and equitable workplace. Women represented approximately 50% of the Commission’s workforce, while 57%

11 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Sustainable Development Goal SEC Contribution 2025 Highlights equal opportunity of nominated Board Members (4 out of 7) were female, demonstrating strong gender representation in governance and decision-making. The Commission will continue promoting merit-based recruitment, leadership development and equal opportunities for all employees. SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy Adoption of renewable energy The Commission continued demonstrating environmental stewardship through investment in renewable energy infrastructure at its office building. The Commission’s offices continued operating a solar photovoltaic power system supported by battery storage and inverter technology, improving energy resilience while reducing reliance on grid electricity, lowering the Commission’s environmental footprint and contributes towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In 2025, the solar plant generated 21.8 Megawatts out of a total annual consumption of 42.84 Megawatts representing a 50.1% consumption of clean energy in 2025. SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth Capital mobilisation and financial sector development Well-functioning capital markets are essential for sustainable economic growth. During 2025, the Commission continued facilitating capital formation through the registration of securities, authorisation of collective investment schemes, supervision of capital market operators and promotion of innovative financing instruments. Investor assets under regulation increased to approximately K338 billion, while the number of investors grew to more than 1.76 million, reflecting increased participation in Zambia’s capital markets and greater mobilisation of long-term savings. SDG 13 – Climate Action Sustainable finance and green capital markets The Commission continues to position sustainable finance as a strategic pillar of Zambia's capital market development agenda. In line with the Capital Markets Master Plan (CMMP), the Commission is committed to developing an enabling regulatory framework that supports innovative financial products, strengthens market capacity and mobilises private capital towards sustainable development. A significant milestone in this journey was the publication of the Securities (Green Bonds) Guidelines, 2019, which established Zambia’s first regulatory framework for the issuance of green bonds and laid the foundation for mobilising long-term capital towards environmentally sustainable investments as demonstrated by CEC Renewables Plc’s registration of a US$200 million medium term note programme for a solar power project and achieving a capital raise of US$156 million under this framework. Continued implementation of the Securities (Green Bonds) Guidelines, promotion of sustainable finance and support to the Green Finance Mainstreaming Working Group to support

12 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Sustainable Development Goal SEC Contribution 2025 Highlights climate-resilient investment and reinforce the capital market’s contribution to Zambia’s green growth and sustainable development agenda. SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions Good governance and investor protection Strong institutions are fundamental to investor confidence and sustainable financial markets. Strengthened enforcement, implementation of risk-based supervision, enhanced corporate governance, legislative reform, stakeholder engagement and improved regulatory oversight to safeguard investors and strengthen market integrity These initiatives reinforced the Commission's role as an independent, transparent and accountable regulator committed to maintaining fair, efficient and transparent capital markets. SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals Strategic partnerships The Commission recognises that sustainable capital market development requires collaboration across government, regulators, market participants and development partners. Strengthened collaboration with the Bank of Zambia, Pensions and Insurance Authority, Lusaka Securities Exchange, Ministry of Green Economy and Environment, BIOFIN, IOSCO, Toronto Centre, CISNA, law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders. These partnerships continue to strengthen regulatory capacity, facilitate knowledge sharing and support the implementation of initiatives that contribute to resilient and sustainable capital markets. Looking Ahead The Commission remains committed to embedding sustainability and ESG considerations across its regulatory framework and institutional operations. Future priorities include enhancing the introduction of innovative sustainable finance products, strengthening climate-related disclosures, promoting responsible investment, enhancing financial literacy and continuing investment in green infrastructure and institutional capacity. By fostering transparent, resilient and inclusive capital markets, the Commission will continue supporting Zambia's transition towards a sustainable and prosperous economy while contributing meaningfully to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 13 Chairperson’s Review It is my honour to present the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2025—a year in which the Commission consolidated its strongest financial position to date while continuing to strengthen institutional capacity and advance its dual mandate of investor protection and capital market development. The year under review was characterised by strong institutional performance, continued market growth and the successful implementation of key strategic initiatives. Investor participation more than doubled to
1.76 million investors,
total savings mobilised through the capital markets increased to K338 billion, while the savings-to-GDP ratio rose to 51.18 percent. These achievements reflect increasing public confidence in Zambia’s capital markets and underscore the sector’s growing contribution to domestic resource mobilisation and sustainable economic development. The Commission also recorded another year of sound financial performance. An operating surplus of K100.1 million, accumulated reserves of K419.9 million, and the continued generation of 95 percent of

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 14 operating income from internally generated resources demonstrate the Commission’s financial resilience and sustainability. This strong financial position is significant not as an end in itself, but because it enables the Commission to invest in the people, systems, technology and supervisory capabilities necessary to deliver effective regulation and support the continued development of the capital markets. The Board remained focused on providing effective oversight in accordance with the Securities Act,
Chapter 354 of the Laws of Zambia, while ensuring that the Commission discharged its mandate with
integrity, transparency, accountability and in the public interest. Throughout the year, the Board provided strategic direction and oversight over the implementation of the Commission’s 2022–2026 Strategic Plan and the Capital Markets Master Plan, ensuring that strategic priorities remained aligned with Zambia's broader economic aspirations. The Commission continued to strengthen its regulatory and supervisory framework during the year. The implementation of Risk-Based Supervision was further embedded into supervisory processes, enabling more proactive oversight of market participants and strengthening the Commission’s ability to identify, assess and respond to emerging risks. At the same time, the Commission continued to promote market development through regulatory reforms, stakeholder engagement, investor education and initiatives aimed at broadening access to the capital markets. From a governance perspective, 2025 was a year of transition and renewal. Changes in Board composition were managed in accordance with the law and established institutional practice, while the Board continued to discharge its responsibilities through its committee structures and sound governance processes. A particularly significant milestone was the approval of the Commission’s new organisational structure, shown in Appendix II, and which provides a stronger institutional platform for enhancing supervisory effectiveness, strengthening enforcement, supporting market development and improving operational efficiency from 2026 onwards. Progress in implementing the Capital Markets Master Plan remained encouraging. Continued growth in collective investment schemes, increased activity in the bond market, advances in sustainable and green finance initiatives, and efforts to broaden investor participation all demonstrate the increasing maturity and relevance of Zambia’s capital markets. These developments reinforce the importance of maintaining a regulator that is financially sustainable, operationally agile and responsive to an evolving financial landscape. The Board recognises that the operating environment continues to evolve rapidly. Financial innovation, digitalisation, cybersecurity risks, climate-related finance, and increasing expectations regarding governance, market conduct and disclosure require regulators to remain forward-looking and adaptive. The Board will continue to support Management in strengthening regulatory effectiveness while preserving market integrity, protecting investors and fostering innovation that contributes to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. As the Commission concludes the final year of its 2022–2026 Strategic Plan, the Board remains confident that the strong institutional foundations established over recent years position the Commission well to deliver its next phase of strategic growth and continue building a vibrant, resilient and internationally respected capital market.

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 15 On behalf of the Board, I extend sincere appreciation to the Honourable Minister of Finance and National Planning, our fellow financial sector regulators, capital market operators, investors, cooperating partners and all stakeholders for their continued collaboration and support. I also express my gratitude to the Chief Executive Officer, Management and staff of the Commission for their professionalism, dedication and commitment in delivering another successful year. Together, we remain committed to strengthening investor confidence, promoting capital formation and ensuring that Zambia’s capital markets continue to serve as an effective catalyst for sustainable economic growth and national prosperity. Paul Nkhoma (Mr.) BOARD CHAIRPERSON

16 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Chief Executive’s Statement The year ended 31 December 2025 was one of exceptional institutional and market performance for the Securities and Exchange Commission. Guided by our Strategic Plan (2022–2026) and the Capital Markets Master Plan, we continued to strengthen the regulatory framework, deepen capital market development and build an institution capable of responding effectively to the evolving needs of Zambia’s financial sector. The Commission made significant progress in delivering its statutory mandate of protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly and efficient capital markets, and facilitating capital formation. During the year, the number of investors participating in Zambia’s capital markets more than doubled to 1,760,545, while total savings mobilised through the market increased to K338 billion, representing 51.18 percent of Gross Domestic Product. These achievements reflect growing investor confidence, increased market participation and the expanding role of the capital markets in mobilising long-term domestic savings for national development. Operationally, the Commission continued to strengthen its regulatory effectiveness through the

17 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report successful implementation of Risk-Based Supervision, allowing supervisory resources to be directed towards areas of greatest regulatory risk while improving efficiency and market responsiveness. Oversight of 260 licensed market participants was maintained throughout the year, supported by enhanced surveillance, strengthened compliance monitoring and continued engagement with regulated entities. The Commission also advanced implementation of the Capital Markets Master Plan through initiatives aimed at broadening market participation, promoting sustainable finance, strengthening collective investment schemes, supporting bond market development and enhancing investor education and financial literacy. These initiatives continue to reinforce the capital markets as an increasingly important source of long-term finance for Zambia’s economic transformation. Financially, 2025 was our strongest year since the establishment of the Commission. The Commission recorded an operating surplus of K100.638 million, compared with K65.976 million in 2024, while total income increased to K191.388 million from K146.220 million in the previous year. Total accumulated funds grew to K427.721 million, with accumulated reserves increasing to K419.888 million, providing the Commission with a robust financial foundation to support future strategic investments. Cash and cash equivalents increased to K391.415 million, translating into an expense cover ratio of approximately 58 months, significantly exceeding the Board-approved minimum threshold of six months cover. The Commission's revenue profile continued to demonstrate increasing financial sustainability. Approximately 95 percent of total income was generated internally through commissions, levies, licensing and investment income, with Government grant funding accounting for only five percent of total revenue. While this represents an important milestone in institutional independence, it also highlights the need to continue diversifying revenue sources to reduce concentration risk arising from secondary market bond trading and to support the long-term sustainability of the Commission, a key objective under the Capital Markets Master Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our stellar financial performance has never been viewed as an objective in itself. Rather, it provides the capacity to invest strategically in the people, systems, technology and infrastructure required to regulate increasingly sophisticated financial markets. During the year, the Commission continued investing in supervisory systems, information technology, operational assets and human capital while maintaining prudent expenditure management. Employee costs remained at approximately half of total expenditure, reflecting the knowledge-intensive nature of financial regulation and our continued investment in technical capacity. A major institutional milestone during the year was the approval of the
Commission's new organisational structure. This reform provides the foundation for strengthening supervisory capacity, expanding enforcement capability, enhancing market development functions and positioning the Commission to respond effectively to future market growth. Implementation of the new structure will commence in 2026 in a phased and fiscally responsible manner. Looking ahead, the Commission enters the final year of its 2022–2026 Strategic Plan from a position of considerable strength. Our priorities remain clear: to deepen market development, strengthen investor protection, expand access to capital markets, leverage technology and data analytics to enhance supervision, promote sustainable finance, and implement the organisational reforms necessary to support a larger, more dynamic and increasingly sophisticated capital market.

18 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report These achievements would not have been possible without the guidance of the Board of Commissioners, the support of the Honourable Minister of Finance and National Planning, the collaboration of our fellow financial sector regulators, capital market operators, cooperating partners and investors, and the commitment of every member of staff. Their professionalism, dedication and shared commitment to excellence continue to position the Commission as a trusted regulator and an important contributor to Zambia's economic development. As we conclude the current Strategic Plan and prepare for the next phase of institutional growth, we remain committed to building a capital market that is transparent, innovative, resilient and inclusive, creating lasting value for investors, issuers and the Zambian economy. Phillip K. Chitalu CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 19 Governance Governance in General Good governance underpins the credibility, independence and effectiveness of the Securities and Exchange Commission. During 2025, the Commission continued to strengthen its governance framework through effective Board oversight, robust committee structures, performance evaluation, sound financial stewardship and adherence to internationally recognised regulatory principles. These governance arrangements enabled the Commission to discharge its statutory mandate transparently, independently and in the public interest while supporting continued growth of Zambia’s capital markets. The Commission and Corporate Governance The Commission has embedded corporate governance across its structures, processes and culture, anchored in the Securities Act, the Public Finance Management framework and supporting rules and guidelines. The Board is composed of independent members nominated by designated institutions and formally appointed by the Minister of Finance and National Planning, ensuring that diverse professional perspectives inform oversight while the Board itself remains institutionally independent of ministerial direction and control.

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 20
Section 8 of the Act clearly separates the governance roles of the Board from the executive responsibilities
of Management, thereby avoiding overlap between policy, oversight and day‑to‑day administration. The Board sets the strategic direction, approves key policies and exercises oversight over licensing, enforcement, risk management and financial stewardship, while delegating implementation to the Chief Executive Officer and Board Committees in accordance with the Act. This governance model supports the three core objectives of securities regulation—protecting investors, ensuring that markets are fair, efficient and transparent, and reducing systemic risk—while reinforcing the principles of transparency, accountability, responsibility and fairness. The role of IOSCO in Governance As a member of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the Commission aligns its governance practices with internationally recognised standards for securities regulators. IOSCO’s Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation, investor protection, fair, efficient and transparent markets, and reduction of systemic risk, provide the benchmark for how the Commission structures its powers, independence, accountability and enforcement approach. In keeping with these standards, the Commission maintains a Board Charter that sets out the responsibilities, conduct and operating procedures of the Board and its Members, including requirements on declarations of interest, restrictions on gift acceptance and a prohibition on trading in non‑public, price‑sensitive information. Complementing this, a Code of Conduct for staff prescribes expected behaviour in areas such as conflicts of interest, ethical decision‑making and disclosure of gifts and benefits and requires employees to declare interests in matters in which they may have a personal stake. Senior management are further required to maintain membership in the Institute of Directors of Zambia, ensuring continuous exposure to evolving governance practices and reinforcing the Commission’s commitment to high standards of leadership and stewardship.

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 21 Good governance strengthens investor confidence, promotes regulatory independence, improves decisionmaking, enhances accountability and ultimately supports fair, orderly and efficient capital markets. During 2025, the Board approved the 2026 Budget, approved the new organisational structure as highlighted under Appendix II, oversaw implementation of the Strategic Plan and oversaw implementation of the CMMP. The Board further approved key regulatory policies, oversaw financial performance and enterprise risk management, approved capital expenditure projects and oversaw capital formation, enforcement and licensing decisions through the relevant Committees. Some of the governance improvements recorded in 2025 include the approval of new organisational structure, strengthened Board succession planning, improved Committee reporting, enhanced performance evaluation, expanded internal audit capability, strengthened risk oversight and continued compliance with IOSCO Principles. Board Composition Appointment
Section 8(2) and (3) of the Securities Act prescribes the Commission Board’s composition to be eight
Members. The Act requires the Commission’s Chief Executive Officer to be an ex- officio Member of the Board and also empowers the Minister responsible for finance to appoint the other seven Members as nonexecutive Board Members from a nomination made by each of the following institutions:
a) Bank of Zambia;

Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report 22 b) Law Association of Zambia; c) Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants; d) Zambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry; e) Ministry responsible forfinance; f) Ministry responsible forjustice; g) Pensions and Insurance Authority; and The Act also designated the Commission’s Chief Executive Officer as an ex-officio Member of the Board.

During the year under review, the Board operated through five standing Committees and one ad hoc Committee, namely:
a) Compensation Fund Committee; b) Licensing Committee; c) Market Transactions Committee; d) Risk and Audit Committee; e) Staff and Remuneration Committee; and f) Property Acquisition and Development Committee (ad hoc). Compensation Fund Committee The Compensation Fund Committee is established pursuant to section 176 of the Securities Act and is responsible for administering the Compensation Fund established under the Act. The Committee oversees the management of the Fund, determines claims lodged against the Fund in accordance with the Securities (Compensation Fund) Regulations and reports to the Board on matters relating to its administration. Licensing Committee The Licensing Committee is established under section 13 of the Securities Act and exercises delegated

31 Securities and Exchange Commission_2023 Annual Report authority over licensing and enforcement matters relating to capital market operators and other regulated entities. The Committee considers applications for licences and approvals, oversees licensing policy implementation and reports to the Board on licensing and related regulatory matters, including enforcement issues arising from the licensing function. Market Transactions Committee The Market Transactions Committee is established under section 13 of the Securities Act and is responsible for considering applications relating to securities offerings and other market transactions requiring regulatory approval under Part VIII of the Act. The Committee also oversees matters relating to capital formation and market development and reports its decisions and recommendations to the Board. Risk and Audit Committee The Risk and Audit Committee is constituted under section 13 of the Securities Act and is further established in accordance with the Public Finance Management Act, No. 1 of 2018. The Committee provides oversight of the Commission’s financial management, enterprise risk management, internal controls, governance processes and internal and external audit functions to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of the Commission’s control environment. Staff and Remuneration Committee The Staff and Remuneration Committee is established under section 13 of the Securities Act and provides oversight of the Commission’s human resource management framework. Its responsibilities include recruitment, remuneration, succession planning, staff development, performance management and policies aimed at attracting, developing and retaining a competent workforce. Property Acquisition and Development Committee The Property Acquisition and Development Committee is an ad hoc Committee established by the Board to oversee and provide strategic guidance on the Commission’s property acquisition and infrastructure development programme. The Committee monitors project implementation and advises the Board on matters relating to property investment and development. Delegation of Decision-Making Authority The Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016 prescribes statutory timeframes within which certain regulatory decisions must be made. To facilitate timely and efficient decision-making, the Board has, pursuant to
section 14 of the Act, delegated authority to designated Committees to determine specified time-sensitive
matters.
Under these delegated powers, the Licensing Committee is authorised to approve applications relating to the grant of licences and other licensing matters, while the Market Transactions Committee determines applications relating to the registration of securities, capital-raising transactions and other market authorisations. This delegation enables the Commission to meet statutory timelines, improve regulatory responsiveness and enhance service delivery without awaiting the Board’s scheduled quarterly meetings. Other Statutory Committees In addition to the Board Committees, the Commission operates statutory management committees established under various legislative and governance frameworks. One such committee is the Procurement Committee, which supports the procurement function established under the Public

32 Securities and Exchange Commission_2023 Annual Report Procurement Act. Although it is not a Board Committee, it plays an important governance role by promoting transparency, accountability, fairness and value for money in the Commission’s procurement processes.

Makunku Zambia Institute of Architects representative Mr. Griven Sikalumbi Show Society of Zambia Representative Mr. Mukamba Mwiya Governance and Risk Assurance The Commission recognises audit and assurance as fundamental pillars of good corporate governance. An effective audit function enhances accountability, transparency and sound stewardship by providing independent assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal control systems. The Board, through its Risk and Audit Committee, oversees the Commission’s financial reporting, enterprise risk management, internal control environment and audit functions. The Committee provides independent oversight to ensure that appropriate governance structures, financial management systems and assurance mechanisms are in place to safeguard the Commission’s assets, promote operational efficiency and support compliance with applicable laws, regulations and internal policies. Internal Audit Function The Commission maintains both internal and external audit arrangements as part of its integrated assurance framework. In line with the Commission’s revised organisational structure, a dedicated Risk and Internal Audit Unit, headed by the Manager – Risk and Internal Audit, has been established to strengthen institutional capacity in enterprise risk management, internal assurance and governance oversight, and this function is to be operationalised in 2026. During the 2025 financial year, the internal audit function continued to be delivered through an outsourced arrangement with an independent professional audit firm under the oversight of the Risk and Audit Committee. This arrangement ensured the continued provision of independent assurance while facilitating the transition towards a fully operational in-house internal audit function in the next reporting period. The internal audit function provides independent and objective assurance and advisory services designed to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the Commission’s governance, risk management and internal control processes. The function also supports Management and the Board by identifying opportunities to strengthen operational efficiency, compliance and organisational performance.

34 Securities and Exchange Commission_2023 Annual Report External Audit Function In accordance with paragraph 10 of the First Schedule to the Securities Act, the Commission’s external auditors are appointed by the Board, subject to the approval of the Minister responsible for Finance. Following the completion of the previous audit engagement, the Commission appointed Mark Daniels Chartered Accountants as its external auditors for the three-year audit cycle covering the 2024 to 2026 financial years. The external auditors conduct an independent audit of the Commission’s annual financial statements and issue an audit opinion on whether the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and financial performance of the Commission in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. The audited financial statements form part of the Commission’s Annual Report submitted to the Minister responsible for Finance. Commission Secretary Appointment of the Commission Secretary The Commission Secretary is appointed by the Board pursuant to section 17 of the Securities Act and serves as the principal adviser to the Board on corporate governance, Board administration and statutory compliance. The Commission Secretary is responsible for managing the corporate secretarial affairs of the Commission under the general supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and performs such additional functions as may be assigned by the Board in accordance with the Act. During the year under review, the Director – Enforcement and Legal Services continued to serve as the Commission Secretary and discharged the statutory responsibilities of the office in accordance with section 17 of the Securities Act. The Role of the Commission Secretary in Corporate Governance The Commission Secretary plays a central role in promoting sound corporate governance and supporting the effective functioning of the Board and its Committees. The office provides independent advice to the Board on governance best practices, statutory obligations and compliance with applicable legislation, the Board Charter and other governance instruments. The Commission Secretary coordinates the activities of the Board and its Committees by facilitating meetings, ensuring the timely circulation of Board papers, maintaining accurate records of proceedings and monitoring the implementation of Board resolutions. The office also provides guidance on governance developments and supports the Board in discharging its fiduciary and oversight responsibilities. By serving as the principal interface between the Board, Management and other stakeholders, the Commission Secretary contributes significantly to effective decision-making, institutional accountability and the maintenance of high standards of corporate governance throughout the Commission. Board Performance Self-Evaluation Performance Evaluation Framework The Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate
governance through regular assessments of its effectiveness. In accordance with Clause 11 of the Commission’s Board Charter, the Board undertakes an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual Board Members as part of its governance improvement framework.

35 Securities and Exchange Commission_2023 Annual Report The annual performance evaluation provides an opportunity for the Board to assess the effectiveness of its governance structures, decision-making processes and oversight responsibilities, while identifying opportunities for continuous improvement. The exercise promotes accountability, transparency and Board effectiveness by encouraging Members to reflect objectively on the Board’s performance and governance practices. The evaluation is conducted using a structured questionnaire approved by the Board and administered confidentially to all Board Members. Responses are independently collated and analysed before the findings are presented to the Board for discussion and consideration. During the 2025 assessment, responses were received from seven of the eight Board Members. One Member did not participate, having ceased to represent the nominating institution before the evaluation was undertaken. The assessment covered the following eight governance dimensions: Board Activity; Mission and Strategic Purpose; Governance and Partnership Alignment; Board Organisation; Administration and Staff Support; Time and Conduct of Meetings; Recording and Minute Taking; and Board Membership. 2025 BOARD PERFORMANCE RESULTS The Board recorded an overall performance score of 91% during the 2025 assessment compared with 93.59% achieved in 2024. Although this represents a modest decline of 2.59 percentage points, the results confirm that the Board continues to operate at a high level of effectiveness and maintains sound governance practices. Over the past decade, Board performance has consistently exceeded 80%, demonstrating a mature governance framework supported by effective oversight, strong Board administration and active Member participation. While six of the eight assessment areas recorded marginal reductions compared with 2024, the Board remained effective in discharging its statutory responsibilities and providing strategic leadership to the Commission. The highest-rated assessment area was Recording and Minute Taking, which achieved 94%, reflecting continued confidence in the quality of Board administration and governance support. Governance and Partnership Alignment recorded the lowest rating at 87%, indicating opportunities to further strengthen strategic alignment and stakeholder engagement. The Figure below illustrates the Board's performance trend over the period 2016 to 2025, while the next

The assessments indicate that Committee governance structures remain effective and continue to support the Board in the discharge of its statutory oversight responsibilities. While some Committees recorded marginal reductions compared with the previous year, these did not materially affect their overall effectiveness. The evaluations identified opportunities to strengthen attendance, committee support arrangements and strategic oversight in specific areas, which will inform governance improvement initiatives during 2026.

40 Securities and Exchange Commission_2023 Annual Report Governance Improvement Priorities The 2025 evaluation identified a number of opportunities to further strengthen the Commission’s governance framework. During 2026, the Board will prioritise: the strengthening of Committee effectiveness and attendance; enhancing strategic governance and stakeholder alignment; continued Board and Committee capacity development; strengthening succession planning and governance continuity; and embedding governance best practices across all Board Committees. The Board is satisfied that the Commission maintained an effective governance framework throughout the 2025 financial year. The governance arrangements in place supported sound decision-making, prudent financial stewardship, regulatory independence and effective oversight of Management. The annual performance evaluation confirms that the Board and its Committees continue to operate effectively and remain committed to continuous governance improvement. The Board will continue implementing targeted governance enhancement initiatives to strengthen institutional effectiveness and support the Commission's strategic objectives. CONCLUSION The Board remains satisfied that the Commission maintained a robust and effective corporate governance framework throughout the 2025 financial year. The governance structures, policies and oversight mechanisms in place continued to support sound strategic leadership, prudent financial management, effective risk oversight and regulatory independence, while reinforcing the Commission’s commitment to accountability, transparency, integrity and ethical conduct. During the year under review, the Board and its Committees discharged their respective responsibilities diligently, providing effective oversight of Management and ensuring that the Commission continued to operate in accordance with the Securities Act, the Public Finance Management Act and other applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The annual Board and Committee performance evaluations further demonstrated a strong governance culture characterised by active engagement, informed decisionmaking and a commitment to continuous improvement. The Commission also continued to strengthen its governance architecture through enhanced risk management, internal audit and assurance arrangements, sound financial oversight and effective corporate secretarial support. These measures have contributed to improving institutional resilience, operational effectiveness and stakeholder confidence in the Commission’s ability to fulfil its statutory mandate. While the Board recognises that opportunities remain to further enhance governance effectiveness, particularly in the areas of Board development, Committee effectiveness and succession planning, it is satisfied that the governance framework remains fit for purpose and responsive to the evolving regulatory environment. The Board remains committed to continuously reviewing and
strengthening its governance practices in line with international best practice and the expectations of stakeholders. Looking ahead, the Commission will continue to embed a culture of good governance across all aspects of its operations as it implements its strategic priorities, promotes the development of fair, efficient and transparent capital markets, protects investors and contributes to Zambia’s sustainable economic growth and financial sector development.

41 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Report on regulatory and operational efficiency (Pursuant to section 11(3) of the First Schedule to the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016)

42 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Introduction
Section 11(3) of the First Schedule to the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016 requires the Commission to
report annually on its regulatory and operational efficiency. This statutory report provides an assessment of the Commission's effectiveness in discharging its regulatory responsibilities, the efficiency of its operations and its institutional capacity to fulfil its mandate. As Zambia’s capital markets regulator, the Commission is entrusted with safeguarding investor interests, promoting fair, efficient and transparent capital markets and supporting sustainable market development. The report therefore demonstrates how the Commission has utilised its regulatory powers, institutional resources and governance arrangements to deliver measurable public value during the 2025 financial year. The report addresses the statutory reporting requirements relating to:
a) implementation and effectiveness of regulatory oversight; b) operational efficiencies achieved through the Commission’s activities; c) actual and projected cost savings to Government; d) the public value derived from maintaining an independent securities regulator; e) relationships with market infrastructure institutions and capital market operators; and f) the Commission’s current and future institutional capabilities. Effectiveness of Regulatory Oversight The Commission continued to discharge its statutory responsibilities effectively during 2025 through a combination of market supervision, licensing, enforcement, policy development, market surveillance and investor protection initiatives. Governance oversight remained firmly anchored in the Board, which exercises its statutory responsibilities under the Securities Act by providing strategic direction, approving policy and overseeing the administrative affairs of the Commission. To enhance regulatory responsiveness and improve operational efficiency, the Board continued to delegate specified decision-making authority to its Committees in accordance with sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Act. This delegation enabled timely regulatory decisions, particularly in relation to licensing, registration of securities and other market approvals. The Commission further strengthened regulatory effectiveness through the continued implementation of its Risk-Based Supervision framework, enabling supervisory resources to be directed towards institutions and activities presenting the highest regulatory risk. This proactive supervisory approach has enhanced early risk identification, strengthened market discipline and promoted greater compliance with the legal and regulatory framework. During the year under review, the Commission also exercised its enforcement powers, where necessary, to preserve market integrity and protect investors. Regulatory interventions included supervisory actions, administrative sanctions, directives, enforcement proceedings and other remedial measures undertaken in accordance with the Securities Act. Operational Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness The Commission continued to manage its financial and operational resources prudently while pursuing the objectives set out in the 2022–2026 Strategic Plan and the Capital Markets Master Plan.

43 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Resource utilisation remained aligned to approved budgets and strategic priorities, reflecting the Board’s commitment to sound financial management, prudent expenditure and effective internal controls. Through continued improvements in governance, business processes and risk management, the Commission maintained operational efficiency while expanding regulatory oversight and market development initiatives. The Commission also continued implementing initiatives aimed at improving organisational effectiveness, including digitalisation of regulatory processes, enhancement of supervisory methodologies and strengthening of institutional governance arrangements. Public Value and Cost to the Nation in the Absence of the Commission The Commission’s regulatory oversight continues to generate significant economic and public value by safeguarding investor confidence and supporting the orderly development of Zambia’s capital markets. As at 31 December 2025, the Commission regulated approximately ZMW338 billion in investor assets, representing an increase of approximately 51% from ZMW224.3 billion recorded at the end of 2024. These assets comprised listed equities, corporate bonds, collective investment schemes and other regulated securities and were held directly by approximately 1.76 million investors, representing about 13.4% of Zambia’s adult population. Through pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors, the Commission’s regulatory oversight indirectly protects the financial interests of many additional Zambians. Without an independent securities regulator, investors would be exposed to significantly higher risks of market abuse, fraud, insider trading, market manipulation and inadequate disclosure by issuers. Such risks would undermine investor confidence, reduce market participation, increase the cost of capital and weaken the capital market’s ability to mobilise long-term savings for national economic development. By promoting transparent markets, enforcing disclosure obligations and ensuring compliance with securities legislation, the Commission contributes to financial stability, investor confidence and sustainable economic growth. Strategic Performance and Institutional Efficiency During 2025, the Commission continued implementing the strategic initiatives approved under its 2022–2026 Strategic Plan. Of the thirteen Board-approved Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

35% were fully achieved;
40% were substantially implemented; and
25% remained under implementation and are expected to be completed during 2026.
The Commission made significant progress in strengthening its funding model, enhancing investor protection, improving regulatory effectiveness, expanding stakeholder engagement and modernising internal business processes. These achievements demonstrate continued progress towards building a more responsive, resilient and sustainable capital market regulator.

44 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report The Commission also identified strategic priorities requiring continued attention, particularly the implementation of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICOFR), further digital transformation initiatives and the development of permanent office infrastructure to enhance long-term institutional efficiency. Stakeholder and Market Relationships The Commission continued to maintain strong collaborative relationships with capital market operators, market infrastructure institutions and other stakeholders throughout 2025. Engagement with licensed market operators was undertaken through regular consultative meetings, technical working groups and industry forums, including collaboration with the Capital Markets Association of Zambia (CMAZ). The Commission also continued hosting monthly Town Hall Meetings to promote regulatory transparency, strengthen stakeholder engagement and enhance investor awareness through open dialogue on emerging market developments. The Commission maintained constructive working relationships with securities exchanges, clearing and settlement facilities and other financial sector regulators to support coordinated supervision and the continued development of Zambia’s capital markets. Internationally, the Commission continued to leverage strategic partnerships with cooperating institutions to strengthen institutional capacity. During the year, technical assistance and capacitybuilding support continued through programmes such as the Toronto Centre’s Risk-Based Supervision initiative, as well as other regional and international cooperation arrangements. Current and Future Institutional Capabilities The Commission continued strengthening its institutional capacity to respond to an increasingly dynamic capital markets environment. Implementation of the Capital Markets Master Plan and the 2022–2026 Strategic Plan remained central to enhancing regulatory capability, operational effectiveness and market development. During the year, the Commission invested significantly in staff development through specialised training programmes covering risk-based supervision, sustainable finance, financial technology, market conduct, leadership and other emerging regulatory disciplines. These initiatives have enhanced the Commission’s ability to regulate increasingly sophisticated financial products, respond proactively to emerging risks and align its regulatory practices with international standards and best practice. Looking ahead, the Commission will continue investing in human capital, technology, regulatory innovation and institutional infrastructure to ensure that it remains a modern, agile and effective capital markets regulator capable of supporting Zambia’s long-term economic development. Conclusion The Commission continued to discharge its regulatory mandate efficiently and effectively throughout the 2025 financial year. Through sound governance, prudent financial management,
risk-based supervision, effective stakeholder engagement and sustained institutional capacity building, the

45 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Commission strengthened investor protection while supporting the continued growth and integrity of Zambia’s capital markets. Although opportunities remain to further enhance operational efficiency, digital transformation and institutional capacity, the Commission remains well positioned to deliver its statutory mandate and to contribute meaningfully to financial sector development, capital formation and sustainable economic growth. Phillip K. Chitalu CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

46 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Operational Activities The Commission continued to implement its dual statutory mandate of investor protection and capital market development through its operational Directorates during the 2025 financial year. These activities were undertaken in furtherance of the Commission’s strategic objective of fostering fair, efficient and transparent capital markets that facilitate capital formation, support economic growth and contribute to national development. In delivering its investor protection mandate, the Commission continued to regulate and supervise Zambia’s capital markets by ensuring that securities offered to the public were appropriately registered, capital market operators were duly licensed and authorised, and market participants complied with the Securities Act and other applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Through ongoing supervision, market surveillance and enforcement, the Commission sought to maintain market integrity, promote investor confidence and mitigate systemic and conduct risks within the capital markets. The Commission’s operational responsibilities are delivered through three core Directorates, each performing complementary functions that collectively support the achievement of the Commission’s strategic objectives:

Directorate of Market Supervision and Development (DMSD) – responsible for market
supervision, licensing, market development, policy implementation, investor education and the promotion of new capital market products and initiatives.
Directorate of Enforcement and Legal Services (DELS) – responsible for legal advisory services,
regulatory enforcement, investigations, litigation, legislative reform, corporate governance, Board secretariat functions and ensuring compliance with the legal and regulatory framework.
Directorate of Finance and Administration (DFA) – responsible for corporate services, including
finance, human resources, information technology, procurement, administration and institutional support services. The Directorate also houses the Market Transactions Unit, which coordinates the registration of securities and facilitates the processing of capital-raising transactions and other market approvals. It should be noted that the newly approved organisational structure, which is to be implemented in 2026, has made some changes to the Directorates and this will be highlighted in the next reporting period. The activities undertaken by each Directorate during the year are summarised in the sections that follow. MARKET SUPERVISION Universe of Capital Markets Operators The Commission exercises regulatory oversight of the following categories of market participants, conferred by their status as licensed, authorised, recognised, or by virtue of having their securities registered with the Commission.

Appendix IV.
Operationalisation of Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) Throughout 2025, the Commission sustained the comprehensive implementation of the Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) framework across all Capital Market Operators (CMOs). The efforts transitioned from initial rollout phase to institutionalizing RBS within routine supervisory activities, ensuring that supervisory engagement is proportionate, forward-looking, and dynamic in response to sectoral risk profiles. Key developments in 2025 included:

Completion of full risk profiling of all licensed CMOs.
Refinement of risk scoring methodologies based on supervisory experience.
Increased use of data analytics to support risk identification.
Enhanced supervisory coordination across departments to support thematic reviews.
Risk Profiling Outcomes and Sector Risk Trends In 2025, the Commission conducted annual risk assessments across all capital market intermediaries’ clusters, identifying key sector-wide risk themes including:
Governance and internal control weaknesses in smaller CMOs.
Capital adequacy pressure among certain dealer categories.
Operational and reporting compliance gaps among repeat offenders.
Increased technology and cybersecurity risk exposure.
Concentration risk in specific market segments.

48 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Supervisory Activities Undertaken Under the RBS framework, supervisory work undertaken included:

Off-site reviews of periodic regulatory returns and financial submissions.
Thematic inspections focused on:
Governance and board oversight effectiveness.
Capital adequacy monitoring.
Client asset segregation and safeguarding.
On-site inspections for high-risk CMOs.
Follow-up reviews to assess implementation of corrective action plans.
Supervisory Letters and Enforcement Linkages
During the period under review, supervisory findings were communicated through formal Supervisory Letters and interim letters addressed to Boards of Directors and senior management respectively. These letters contained in them the deficiencies that were identified in the supervisory activities of the Commission. In general, the letters which communicated deficiencies had the below points outlined:
Time-bound remediation plans were required.
Enhanced monitoring was implemented.
Escalation measures were applied where corrective actions were not adequately addressed.
Strengthening Supervisory Tools
The Commission enhanced its supervisory toolkit through:
Refinement of risk assessment templates.
Integration of automated return analysis tools.
Standardisation of inspection manuals and procedures.
Further capacity-building for supervisory staff in risk assessment techniques.

49 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Market Supervision core activities Ongoing monitoring continued to be anchored on regulatory returns submitted by CMOs. In 2025:

Submission rates improved modestly compared to 2024;
However, timeliness challenges persisted among a subset of repeat offenders;
Capital adequacy monitoring of dealers remained a key supervisory priority;
Fund managers' quarterly reporting quality improved following targeted supervisory
engagement.
The Commission continued to utilize:
Audited financial statements;
Separate auditors’ reports for Dealers and Investment Advisers;
Investment Advisers Return
Monthly Capital Adequacy Reports;
Fund manager monthly and quarterly returns;
Issuer Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting (ICOFR) submissions;
Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs).
Data collected from these sources informed risk scoring adjustments and supervisory planning decisions. Issuers of Registered Securities The Commission’s focus of supervision is to ensure that issuers of registered securities provide adequate information and disclosures to investors, which information is relied upon to make investment decisions. Full disclosure to all investors ensures that there is no information asymmetry which is detrimental to the commission’s mandate to ensure transparent, orderly and efficient capital markets. As of 31st December 2025, the number of issuers stood at 47, with 51 instruments having been registered. Notably, the Market had its first ever issuance under the alternative market in December. Licensing The MS Team reviews and processes license applications in line with the Securities Act Provisions Risk Assessments, Reviews and Inspections The MS Team undertakes an assessment of the Risks arising from a CMO operations. Reviews and inspections are undertaken to validate risk assessments and determine the Commission’s supervisory intervention On - going monitoring, Surveillance & Complaints handling The MS Team undertakes surveillance using various tools (e.g. including attending AGMs, review of trading activity exchanges, review of complaints). Ongoing monitoring involves review of Self-Assessment Questionnaires, annual and periodic submissions from capital Market Operators. RBS - RISK ASSESSMENTS

Corporate Bonds: 11 issuers have registered bond programmes with the SEC. Of these, 8 have outstanding notes while 3 issuers do not have outstanding notes. Of the 8 issuers with outstanding notes, 5 issuers have listed notes on the LuSE amounting to 17 listed notes, while the other 3 issuer’s notes are not listed. Internal controls over financial reporting (“ICOFR”) In a bid to enhance financial reporting among issuers, the Commission continued to encourage the implementation of appropriate internal control frameworks through the Securities (Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“ICOFR”)) Guidelines issued in 2019. The Guidelines were implemented under a five (5) year transition period from 2019 to 2023, with the first year of full implementation commencing in 2024. Following stakeholder concerns raised during engagements held in the transition period, the SEC– ZICA Working Group continued to provide technical input aimed at strengthening the regulatory framework and ensuring that the Guidelines remain practical and responsive to the operational realities of issuers. In this regard, the revised ICOFR Guidelines were subsequently issued in November 2024 through publication in the Government Gazette. During the year ending 31st December 2025, the Commission continued to monitor the implementation of the 2024 ICOFR Guidelines and provide guidance to issuers to support implementation. Collective Investment Schemes Collective Investment Schemes (CISs) remain an important focus of market supervision because they are particularly well-suited to promoting financial inclusion among Zambians. The sector continues to experience strong growth, with Assets Under Management (AUM) rising year on year, reflecting increasing investor participation in CIS products. Below is a snapshot of the CIS industry as at December 2025. Snapshot of the Collective Investment Schemes Collective Investment Schemes A SNAPSHOT AS AT DECEMBER 2025 Total CIS Assets Under Management ("AUM") closed at K3,654 million in December 2025, an increase of 22% from 2024.

K3,080 million was invested locally, an increase of 22%
K574 million invested in foreign CISs, an increase of 23%.
1,649,468 investors across 10 local umbrella funds comprised of 62 subfunds, a representation of 126% increase from December 2024. 410 investors in 55 foreign CISs, an increase of 2%.

51 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report The increase in assets under management for local CISs was largely driven by higher net contributions from both new and existing investors, as evidenced by the 126% growth in the number of investors during the year. In addition, the growth was supported by income earned from underlying investments such as government bonds and equities. The strong performance of the equity market during the year also contributed positively to the overall growth of the CIS sector. The number of local authorized CISs remained at ten (10). In terms of deployment of AUM, 87.24% of the local CIS AUM were invested in Real Estate, Term Deposits, Other CISs, Commercial Paper and GRZ Bonds (Refer to Figure below). Distribution of AUMs by Assets at 31st December 2025 The list of fund managers for collective investment schemes managers is included in Appendix III. Licensing The Commission had 266 licensees as of December 2025 compared to 260 as at December 2024, representing a net increase of 2.3% during the year. This also shows an upward trajectory of interest, by various businesses, in participating in the capital markets.

These activities encompass the daily monitoring and analysis of trading activity and the investigation of any detected anomalies or irregularities. The Commission also attends Annual General Meetings (AGMs) of listed entities and local CISs in an observer capacity. This provides an additional layer of oversight, ensuring that issuers uphold corporate governance standards and maintain full disclosure with investors. Key Observations from 2025 AGMs During the period from December 2023 to December 2024, the Commission made the following observations regarding AGMs:

Mode of Meeting: The majority of AGMs were conducted using a hybrid format of combining
both physical and virtual participation. This flexible approach facilitated broader accessibility and compliance with best practices.
Investor Participation: The hybrid model enabled increased participation from shareholders
based outside Lusaka and abroad, including foreign investors. The Commission observed a high level of engagement during these meetings, with investors demonstrating a strong interest in monitoring the performance and governance of their investments. Surveillance of Unlicensed Investment Schemes Beyond formal market structures, the Commission's surveillance also identified and investigated twelve (12) purported investment schemes operating during the year and issued 15 alerts to the public. These schemes were primarily promoted through social media platforms such as Facebook and WhatsApp. They posed as legitimate investment opportunities and employed multi-level marketing tactics, incentivizing participants to recruit others in exchange for monetary rewards and other benefits. In addition, to safeguard the investing public, the Commission identified nine (9) operators conducting capital market activities without the requisite licenses. Some of these operators falsely claimed to be licensed, while others were engaged in securities business without any form of authorization.

53 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Complaints For the year 2025, Market Supervision handled a total of seventy-two (72) complaints, of which sixteen (16) were brought forward from the year 2024. Twenty-six (26) complaints were closed within DMSD while thirty-nine (39) was referred to DELs. 2025 had a closure rate of complaints of 78.8%, this was an increase from the closure rate in 2024 of 51%. The table below shows a summary of the number of complaints that were handled by DMSD during the year 2025.

Risk-Based Supervision
In 2025, the focus was implementing RBS to the capital markets premised on three thematic areas namely the:

Supervisory plan – How the Commission will undertake supervision of CMOs to manage risk.
Capacity building – to ensure the Commission, CMOs and stakeholders have adequate capacity
to enable implementation of RBS in Zambia.
Stakeholder & Public Relations: Ensuring the Commission implements the RBS Communications
Strategy.
Capacity Building and Stakeholder relationship management The Capacity Building Plan outlines the Commission’s strategic focus on strengthening capacity across the capital markets. In 2025, the Commission undertook several capacity-building initiatives targeting both internal staff and external participants, including Capital Markets Operators (CMOs) AML/CFT Engagement with the CMOs During the period under review, the Commission begun to implement some of its recommendations stemming from the 2025 Sectoral Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Risk Assessment, conducted in collaboration with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC). To disseminate the results and enhance AML/CFT compliance awareness, the Commission held an AML Workshop on 14th October 2025, attended by various market participants from across the capital markets sector. The workshop discussed the Sectoral AML Risk Assessment findings among other key issues. 2025 COMPUTATION OF COMPLAINTS Complaints brought forward from 2024 A 16 New complaints received B 56 Total Complaints a+b=c 72 Complaints referred to DELS (for further investigations) D 39 Total Complaints not referred to DELS c-d=e 33 Complaints closed in DMSD F (26) Number of active complaints e-f=g 7 DMSD closure rate of complaints not referred to DELS for further investigations f/e 78.8%

MARKET DEVELOPMENT
INITIATIVES AND PROJECTS
Capital Markets Master Plan
During 2025, the Commission continued to coordinate and advance the implementation of the Capital Markets Master Plan (CMMP) through strengthened coordination, stakeholder engagement, and performance monitoring. Implementation efforts were coordinated through quarterly working group engagements, the PPD-F Capital Markets Technical Sub-committee and its Action Teams, as well as ongoing collaboration with CMMP partners. Progress tracking remained a key focus, with results indicating that as of December 2025, six out of ten KPIs had recorded positive progress, with five meeting the short-term targets (End 2024). Key achievements included strong growth in market capitalisation relative to GDP, increased uptake of green bonds, and significant expansion in mutual fund assets under management. However, challenges persisted in areas such as new listings, market liquidity, and exchange-traded product development.
Table: Overview of CMMP KPIS as at December 2025.
During the period under review, key CMMP highlights were as follows:

Second steering Committee meeting: the Commission in collaboration with the Ministry of

56 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Finance and National Planning (MoFNP) held the second Steering Committee meeting which was Chaired by the Secretary to the Treasury (ST), Mr. Felix Nkulukusa. During the meeting, key matters emanating from the working groups and action teams were tabled and guidance sought.

Creation of dispute resolution workstream: following an identified gap in the CMMP, concerning
the lack of a dispute resolution component which was not incorporated as a development area, a workstream for dispute resolution was created under Development Area 5 – Enhancing the capital market regulatory environment. To implement the new workstream, the CMMP Secretariat shall work closely with the Capital Markets Tribunal, being the designated lead and other identified stakeholders that shall be onboarded.
Local Currency Bond Market Diagnostic Assessment (LCBMD): the Commission participated in
an IMF/WB LCBMD Assessment Mission which was spearheaded by the MoFNP. The objective of the diagnostic assessment was to assess the functioning of the local currency bond market and preparing a roadmap for policy reforms and technical assistance. The assessment assessed the current stage of development of Zambia's domestic market and formulated policy recommendations premised on six building blocks, namely; Money market, Primary market, Secondary market, Investor base, Financial Market Infrastructure and Legal and Regulatory Framework.
Morgan Stanley Capital International country rating: Preliminary efforts towards attaining a
Frontier country rating commenced. To this end, the CMMP Secretariat initiated discussions with the MSCI to better understand the MSCI Market Classification Framework. In the same vein, a draft working paper to track Zambia’s readiness towards Frontier market classification has since been developed as plans are underway to prepare for eligibility.
Studies relating to enhancing the Corporate bond market and expansion of market product
offerings: the SEC conducted a study as part of efforts to undertake primary research across cross-sectional sample of businesses on their financing needs and reasons for lack of corporate bond activity. The objective of this is to help ascertain whether the existing investment guidelines should be revised.
Expansion of market product offerings: The SEC commissioned a study to assess the demand for
expanded number of assets classes in the market by both retail and institutional investors. This study is intended to help ascertain whether there is demand for additional asset classes and whether the current guidelines are adequate.

57 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report

CMMP Awareness and Sensitization: The Commission participated in major industry platforms to
promote the CMMP and position the capital markets as a driver of economic growth. Notably, the Commission participated in the following:
o The inaugural Zambia Capital Markets Annual Conference and Awards which ran under the theme “Unlocking capital markets for inclusive economic growth”. o The Zambia Financial Markets Conference which ran under the theme “Growth and Opportunities”. o The Africa Capital Markets Forum where the Commission participated in a high-level strategic panel dubbed “A Call to Action for Collaboration, Reform, and Investment”. o participation in major industry platforms to promote the CMMP and position capital markets as a driver of economic growth.

58 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Overall, the CMMP implementation in 2025 reflects steady progress, with continued efforts required to deepen market participation, enhance product diversification, and address structural constraints in the Zambian capital markets. National Financial Inclusion Strategy (“NFIS”) In 2025, the Commission strengthened its role in advancing financial inclusion and sustainable finance through enhanced stakeholder coordination and strategic planning. Following the MoFNP’s working group familiarisation sessions, the Commission convened the inaugural Capital Markets and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Working Group meeting, of which it serves as Secretariat. During the meeting, members reviewed the draft implementation plan and elected leadership, having appointed the United Nation’s Development Plan-Biodiversity Finance Initiative to assume the role of Chair and Bank of Zambia (BoZ) as Co-Chairperson. Members were tasked with further refining the implementation plan and providing updates on assigned actions, with this process ongoing. In parallel, the Commission, in collaboration with the MoFNP and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Technical Assistance (OTA), advanced the implementation of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS II). A dedicated workshop was convened to rationalise and refine the NFIS II Action Plan, ensuring greater clarity, prioritisation, and alignment with national development objectives. As an outcome of these efforts, strategic actions under NFIS II were translated into specific, measurable activities with defined timelines, clear institutional responsibilities, and detailed costings. This provides a structured roadmap to support effective implementation of financial inclusion initiatives over the medium term. National Strategy for Financial Education for Zambia (“NFSE”) The Government, through the MoFNP, in collaboration with financial sector regulators and cooperating partners, continued to advance financial literacy initiatives following the conclusion of the 2019–2024 National Strategy for Financial Education (NSFE II). To ensure continuity, stakeholders

59 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report agreed to extend the implementation of NSFE II programmes while commencing the development of the third National Strategy for Financial Education (NSFE III). The drafting of NSFE III commenced and is under the leadership of the MoFNP, with active participation from financial sector regulators. The new strategy aims to further empower citizens with the knowledge and skills required for effective financial decision-making, in line with the objectives of the Eighth National Development Plan. To support this process, the Commission has made budgetary provisions for 2026, while additional funding options are being explored to complement existing resource constraints. The drafting process will also benefit from technical assistance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Technical Assistance (OTA), ensuring alignment with international best practices and integration of financial inclusion priorities. Key preparatory activities for NSFE III include a review of existing financial literacy materials and a planned data collection exercise scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. Developing Zambia’s Subnational Revenue Bonds Project In 2025, the Commission advanced efforts to position capital markets, particularly municipal and subnational revenue bonds as a viable financing mechanism for local authorities, in line with Government’s Decentralisation Policy. This approach is aimed at complementing intergovernmental transfers and reducing reliance on the Treasury while enabling sustainable infrastructure development. Following engagements with the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and the Kabwe Municipal Council, progress was made in promoting municipal bonds, developing a supporting regulatory framework, and strengthening institutional coordination. Notably, Kabwe Municipal Council progressed plans for a 300MW solar project, supported by a feasibility study funded by the MoFNP and technical assistance under UNCDF’s InFiDS programme. A key priority under the SEC–UNCDF collaboration is the development of National Guidelines for Local Authorities for Developing and Financing Revenue-Generating Infrastructure Investments. These guidelines will provide a practical framework for structuring bankable municipal projects, including Public-Private Partnerships and revenue bond financing pathways, and are critical to unlocking subnational infrastructure financing. Current efforts are focused on finalising and validating the Guidelines, establishing institutional review mechanisms, and mobilizing technical support to facilitate their timely adoption and launch. Overall, these initiatives mark an important step towards developing a pipeline of bankable municipal projects and deepening the role of capital markets in local government financing. Regulatory Sandbox In 2025, the Commission continued post-exit supervision of four Cohort One Sandbox participants following their exit in May
2024. Two innovations (Kukula and LuSE) demonstrated operational success and are progressing toward commercial deployment subject to conditions, while the peer-topeer lending models (Lupiya and Premier Credit) revealed significant risks, resulting in supervised wind-down and enforcement action, respectively.

60 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report The Commission also progressed Cohort Two, receiving eleven applications, conducting preliminary assessments, and shortlisting four for further review. Onboarding is planned for 2026 following additional evaluation. These efforts reflect a principles-based, risk-focused approach to supporting innovation while safeguarding investor interests. Investor Awareness and EducationActivities 2025 Financial Literacy Week Financial Literacy Week 2025, held from 16–22 March under the theme “Think before you follow, safeguard your money,” was a nationwide campaign led by the three financial sector regulators SEC, BoZ and PIA under NSFE II to promote informed financial decision-making. The SEC led activities in Northwestern Province, including school outreach, a public exhibition, an intercollege debate, and community engagement. Post-survey results indicated significant impact, with increased awareness of Unit Trusts, improved understanding of investment concepts, and a notable rise in confidence to invest. 2025 FLW Youth Engagement: Debate winners - Solwezi College of Nursing and Midwifery

61 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Exhibition, Solwezi City Mall. Holland Disabled Association St. Kizito Secondary School SEC Participates in Boys’ and Girls’ Character Development Camp at Kuzipa Farms The SEC engaged boys and girls at Kuzipa Farms in lively and interactive sessions on saving, investing, and the Zambian capital markets. The programme reached two groups — 8-11 years and 12-18 years. Through fun and practical activities, the boys and girls discovered the importance of making informed financial decisions early in life. To support this journey, each participant received a piggy bank to begin their saving habit and a Snakes and Ladders Investor Education Board Game — a creative tool that simplifies real-world investment concepts through play, as well as scam and fraud awareness. SEC extends sincere appreciation to Kuzipa Farms for partnering in delivering this impactful programme. Together, we are contributing to a brighter financial future for Zambia’s youth. Livingstone Primary School The NSFE, co-implemented by the SEC, BoZ, and PIA, identifies key target groups for investor and financial education to ensure outreach across different segments of society. Among these, school learners at primary and secondary levels are considered an important target group.

62 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report The objective is to build a strong foundation of financial literacy early in life by helping learners understand the basics of saving, budgeting, managing money, and recognizing and avoiding scams. In line with this objective, the SEC team in Livingstone targeted David Livingstone Memorial Presbyterian Pre and Primary School, located on Mosi Oa Tunya Road. This school, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, offers both pre-school and primary education and serves as a community hub for educational development in the area. At the school, the SEC team conducted an investor education session for 133 children, sharing key concepts of investing and financial literacy. Learners were taught important basic financial principles to equip them with the knowledge and skills for responsible financial decision-making. Terry Schwartz Secondary Adventist school The SEC team also visited Terry Schwartz Adventist School, located in the Highlands Township of Livingstone. Established by American couple Terry and Dina Schwartz in 2014 and is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It offers both pre-school and primary education and plays a central role in supporting educational development in the area. At the school, the SEC team conducted an investor education session for 275 children, sharing key concepts of investing and financial literacy. Learners were taught principles, including saving, budgeting, managing money, and recognizing and avoiding scams. Livingstone Institute of Business and Engineering Studies The National Strategy on Financial Education (NSFE), co-implemented by the SEC, BoZ, and PIA, also identifies the key target group of youths in colleges and universities as well as working adults in both the formal and informal sectors which are considered priority audiences. This particular target group has the Commission as lead implementer for its activities. The objective is to prepare young adults to make informed financial and investment decisions by equipping them with knowledge on capital markets, savings versus investing, entrepreneurship, avoiding get-richquick schemes, and responsible use of digital finance. In line with this, the SEC team in Livingstone visited Livingstone Institute of Business and Engineering

63 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Studies (LIBES), a tertiary institution offering business, engineering, and technology programs to students preparing for careers in today's economy. At LIBES, investor education was conducted for 65 adults. Key topics included investment products (unit trusts, bonds, shares), and fraud and scams awareness. The session aimed to strengthen financial literacy and foster responsible investment behaviors among both old and young adults. Commemoration of World Investor Week 2025 PHASE 1: Provincial Debates The Commission successfully conducted the 2025 Provincial Capital Markets Debate Competitions across all ten provinces as part of preparations for the National Grand Finale and World Investor Week
2025. Organized in collaboration with host institutions and the
Debate Research Center, the competitions attracted strong participation from tertiary institutions and showcased high levels of understanding of capital markets.

ZCMCA 2025 was introduced at the first fully-fledged Capital Markets Conference and Awards in Zambia and was subsequently held and 1st and 2nd October 2025 under the theme “Unlocking Capital Markets for Inclusive Economic Growth.” The Guest of Honour for the official kick-off was the Permanent Secretary - Economic Management at the MoFNP, Mr Mulele Mulele, represented by the Acting Director Economic Management, Mr Akapelwa Imwiko who rang the exchange bell to signify the start the event. Copperbelt Agricultural, Mining, Industry and Networking Expo (CAMINEX) The Commission participated in CAMINEX 2025 in Kitwe, engaging stakeholders across key sectors and promoting the role of capital markets in economic development. The SEC focused on raising public awareness, promoting investment, strengthening partnerships, and engaging youths, attracting strong interest at its exhibition stand. Key highlights included participation in CEC’s USD 1 billion market capitalization milestone, media engagement, and increased public interaction on investor protection and scams. The Commission also conducted youth-focused sessions to enhance financial literacy. Overall, participation strengthened the SEC’s visibility, stakeholder engagement, and commitment to investor education and market development. Green and Sustainable Finance Activities The Commission, as Secretariat of the Green Finance Mainstreaming Working Group, continued to drive efforts to integrate green finance across Zambia’s financial sector, including capital markets, banking, pensions, and insurance. In 2025, key progress included development of the Green Finance Taxonomy, tagging and reporting system, Green Finance Strategy and Implementation Plan, and advancement of green bond market initiatives. The Commission also led complementary initiatives such as promoting subnational revenue bonds, developing a regulatory roadmap for nature-related financial risks, and supporting adoption of

70 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report international sustainability reporting standards. These efforts reflect ongoing progress in positioning Zambia’s financial sector to support climate resilience and attract green investment. Public Awareness and Investor Protection Frauds and Scams Campaign Scams Awareness Campaign kicked off with an introductory article that unpacked the concept of capital markets, exposed common scams in the industry, and shared practical tips to help the general public to protect themselves. The campaign uses the following hashtags:
#SECZambia #ScamAwareness #FraudAwareness #lnvestorEducation #scamsawarenesscampaign In response to rising scams and fraud, the Commission intensified investor awareness and public alert initiatives to safeguard the public. During the year, three unlicensed investment schemes—promoted mainly via social media were identified. The Commission issued public warnings through its website and social platforms, cautioning that these entities were not authorized to offer investment services. These actions underscore the Commission’s commitment to protecting investors, maintaining market integrity, and promoting public trust. Scams in the Capital Market However, just like any other marketplace, the capital market has its risks, and one of the biggest risks is scams. Common scams include: Ponzi schemes, Pump and Dump, and Fake Investment Platforms. Ponzi Schemes In this scam, early investors are paid using the money from newer investors, not profits. Eventually, the scheme collapses when new money stops coming in. Pump and Dump Fraudsters artificially inflate the price of a stock by spreading false information, then sell off their shares at the inflated price, leaving others with worthless investments. Fake investment Platforms - scammers create fake websites or platforms that appear to offer legitimate opportunities, tricking people into depositing money, which is then stolen. In order to avoid getting scammed, it is important to educate yourself. Take time to understand how the market works, the types of investments available and how to assess the risks. Being informed is not only the best way to protect your hard-earned money but it is also the best way to increase your chances of making profitable investments over time. PUBLIC WARNINGS AND INVESTOR PROTECTION

71 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report

72 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report ENFORCEMENT AND LEGAL SERVICES Overview The Directorate of Enforcement and Legal Services (DELS) plays a central role in advancing the Commission’s investor protection mandate by promoting compliance with the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016, enforcing the capital markets legal and regulatory framework, providing legal advisory and corporate governance services, and supporting the continued development of Zambia’s securities legislation. During the 2025 financial year, the Directorate strengthened regulatory enforcement, enhanced interagency collaboration, advanced the review of the Securities Act and expanded stakeholder engagement initiatives aimed at promoting market integrity, improving compliance and protecting investors. The table below outlines DELS’ core operational functions. Enforcement and Investor Protection Protecting investors and maintaining confidence in Zambia’s capital markets remained the Directorate’s highest priority during 2025. The Commission investigated 31 suspected violations of securities legislation during the year, more than doubling the 15 investigations undertaken in 2024. The investigations primarily related to illegal investment schemes and unlicensed securities offerings, while other matters involved market misconduct by Capital Market Operators (CMOs) and suspected money laundering activities.

73 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report The Commission also significantly strengthened its enforcement programme by instituting 13 enforcement actions, compared with seven during the previous year. Of these matters, eight were concluded while five remained under investigation at year-end. The enforcement programme resulted in:

administrative fines amounting to K1 million;
one public censure;
two private censures; and
successful collaboration with the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) and the National
Prosecutions Authority (NPA) in pursuing non-conviction-based asset forfeiture proceedings involving suspected investor fraud. The Commission further issued several public investor alerts warning against illegal securities offerings and intensified investor education campaigns on Ponzi schemes and other fraudulent investment products. Strengthening the Legal and Regulatory Framework Review of the Securities Act A major milestone during 2025 was the comprehensive review of the Securities Act undertaken jointly with the Ministry of Justice. The review assessed the adequacy of the current legislative framework in supporting modern securities regulation and identified several provisions that limited the effective development of subsidiary legislation. Following extensive consultations, it was concluded that a repeal and replacement of the Securities Act would provide a more coherent, enabling and future-ready legislative framework. The review culminated in the Commission obtaining Cabinet approval in principle on 23 December 2025 to commence the legislative reform process. 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 2024 2025 SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATIONS AND ENFORCEMENT CASES FOR 2024 AND 2025 INVESTIGATIONS CASES ENFORCEMENT CONCLUDED ONGOING

74 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Advancing International Regulatory Standards The Commission also submitted its application to become a signatory to the IOSCO Enhanced Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (EMMoU), an internationally recognised framework that facilitates cooperation and information sharing among securities regulators. So far only South Africa and Kenya are signatories to the IOSCO EMMoU. Once admitted, the Commission’s participation will significantly strengthen its ability to investigate cross-border securities offences, combat financial crime and cooperate with foreign regulators in protecting investors. Strategic Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagements Recognising that effective regulation depends on strong collaboration, the Commission continued to strengthen partnerships with domestic stakeholders during the year. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) Stakeholder Engagement On 28th February 2025, the Commission held a stakeholder engagement with Mobile Network Operators (“MNOs”) including Airtel, Zamtel, and Zedmobile, under the theme “Enhancing Collaboration.” The engagement was designed to familiarise MNOs with the Commission’s mandate and day-to-day operations, with particular emphasis on the importance of maintaining proper records. The Financial Intelligence Centre (“FIC”), the Bank of Zambia (“BoZ”), and the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (“ZICTA”) participated in the engagement and delivered presentations. The engagement sought to strengthen cooperation between the Commission and MNOs, highlighting the critical role of information held by MNOs in supporting the Commission’s investigations. Presentations by the FIC, BoZ, and ZICTA underscored the mobile money sector’s vulnerability to money laundering and terrorist financing, reinforcing the need for robust record-keeping practices by MNOs. Law Review Exercise From 17th to 21st March 2025, the Commission held a law review engagement with the Ministry of Justice (“MoJ”) at Sandy’s Creation Resort in Chilanga, Lusaka, to deliberate on draft rules and regulations intended for enactment. The session brought together delegates from both institutions who contributed their expertise to refine and align the proposed instruments. The collaborative discussions allowed for a comprehensive review of the regulatory framework and ensured that diverse legal and policy perspectives were duly considered.

75 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report During the engagement, it was observed that, consistent with the drafting style adopted by the Ministry of Justice, the Securities Act contained insufficient enabling provisions to adequately support the enactment of several proposed statutory instruments under the Securities Act No. 41 of 2016. It was therefore agreed that the Act required a repeal and replacement to ensure coherence and alignment with the draft rules and regulations under development. Subsequently, the Commission obtained Cabinet approval in principle to initiate the law review process on 23rd December 2025. Benchmarking Exercise with the Eswatini Financial Services and Regulatory Authority (FSRA) On 14th April 2025, the Commission, in collaboration with the Pensions and Insurance Authority (“PIA”), hosted a delegation from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (“FSRA”) of the Kingdom of Eswatini. The FSRA, which supervises non-banking financial services in Eswatini, has developed several legislative instruments aimed at modernising and harmonising its supervisory framework. These instruments were, at the time, under consideration by Eswatini’s Ministry of Finance and Parliament. In this context, Zambia, through the Commission and the PIA, was identified as a suitable jurisdiction for the FSRA’s benchmarking exercise. During the engagement, both institutions delivered presentations outlining their respective mandates and regulatory functions. The visit not only fulfilled its objective of facilitating knowledge exchange but also provided the Commission with valuable insights into Eswatini’s securities regulatory framework.

76 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report SEC Presentation at the Launch of the 2024-2028 Capital Markets Tribunal Strategic Plan On 15th April 2025, the CMT launched its Strategic Plan for the period 2024–2028 at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre. The CMT, established as a fast-track adjudicative body under the Securities Act, No. 41 of 2016, is mandated to uphold the integrity of the capital markets by addressing misconduct, ensuring accountability, and protecting investors. Recognising the capital market as a vital platform for mobilising investment and supporting economic growth, the CMT plays a key role in fostering confidence and sustaining a robust financial ecosystem. The Strategic Plan sets out targeted interventions and priorities to strengthen the Tribunal’s capacity to deliver on its mandate effectively. During the launch, the Commission was invited to deliver a presentation providing an overview of Zambia’s capital markets, which was presented by DELS, as depicted in the photograph below. SEC and Law Association of Zambia Memorandum of Understanding On 17th April 2025, the Commission and the Law Association of Zambia (“LAZ”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) aimed at advancing public understanding of securities laws and fostering investor confidence through awareness and sensitisation initiatives. By leveraging the Commission’s regulatory expertise and LAZ’s legal knowledge and extensive network, the collaboration is expected to enhance public awareness of securities laws and regulations, strengthen investor education and protection, and build the capacity of legal practitioners within the capital markets space. The partnership is also anticipated to contribute meaningfully to the development of a robust, efficient, and investor-friendly securities market in Zambia. Key activities under the MoU include joint educational initiatives, capacity-building programmes in securities regulation, collaborative policy development and advocacy, as well as coordinated efforts in enforcement, compliance, investor protection, and market development.

77 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Meeting with Law Enforcement Agencies, the bank of Zambia and the Data Protection Commissioner On 13th May 2025, the Commission convened a stakeholder engagement with various Law Enforcement Agencies (“LEAs”) and other key stakeholders under the theme “Emerging Fraudulent and Criminal Trends”. The meeting was attended by representatives from the Bank of Zambia (“BoZ”), the Data Protection Commission (“DPC”), the Anti-Corruption Commission (“ACC”), the Drug Enforcement Commission (“DEC”), the Financial Intelligence Centre (“FIC”), the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (“PACRA”), the Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority (“ZICTA”), the Zambia Police Service (“ZP”), and the National Prosecution Authority (“NPA”). The engagement featured presentations by DELS on issues such as the provision of unlicensed investment advice, Ponzi schemes, and the Securities (Substantial Shareholder Vetting) Guidelines. The discussions underscored the need for LEAs to respond promptly to information requests to prevent unfit and improper persons from participating in the capital markets. The engagement further emphasised the importance of continued collaboration among LEAs and other stakeholders to safeguard the integrity of the capital markets. Benchmarking Exercise with the Tanzanian Capital Markets Tribunal The Capital Markets Tribunal of the United Republic of Tanzania (“CMT Tanzania”) undertook a study visit to the CMT of Zambia and as part of the visit, CMT Tanzania expressed interest in engaging with the Commission to obtain insights into investor protection and regulatory oversight from the Commission’s perspective. Accordingly, on 17th June 2025, the Commission hosted both CMT Tanzania and CMT Zambia for a benchmarking exercise where the Commission outlined its investor protection mandate, shared details of its investor education and awareness initiatives, elaborated on its enforcement programme, and discussed prevailing risks and challenges in Zambia’s capital markets. The Commission also explained the statutory process for appeals to the Capital Markets Tribunal as provided under the Securities Act.

78 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report CMAZ also participated in the engagement and provided industry perspectives on investor protection and market conduct from the viewpoint of market participants. Stakeholder Engagement and Capacity Building with the Capital Markets Association of Zambia (CMAZ) On 26th June 2025, the Commission, in collaboration with the Capital Markets Master Plan (“CMMP”) Secretariat, convened a stakeholder engagement meeting with the Capital Markets Association of Zambia (“CMAZ”) and representatives of various CMOs. The meeting was held under the theme “New and Innovative Products.” This engagement aligned with the Commission’s strategic objective of enhancing stakeholder participation in the capital markets and the CMMP’s goal of driving market development to support economic growth. The discussions facilitated an open exchange of views, underscoring the need for the Commission to streamline processes, for CMOs to enhance market visibility, and for strengthened collaboration aimed at addressing operational challenges within the industry. SEC Collaboration with the Zambia Police Service On 25th August 2025, the Commission and the Zambia Police Service (“ZPS”) signed an MoU at the Commission’s offices in Lusaka. The MoU seeks to strengthen collaboration between the two institutions by combining the Commission’s regulatory expertise with the enforcement powers of the Zambia Police to enhance investor protection, maintain market confidence, and promote compliance with the law. The signing of the MoU underscores a shared commitment to deepen institutional cooperation, reinforce regulatory enforcement, and close any gaps in the

79 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report protection of investors and the preservation of the rule of law within Zambia’s capital markets. The Commission intends to fully leverage this partnership in advancing its investor protection mandate. Stakeholder Engagement with Capital Market Operators On 14th October 2025, the Commission convened a stakeholder engagement workshop with CMOs on Anti-Money Laundering, Countering the Financing of Terrorism, and Proliferation Financing (“AML/CFTPF”) reporting requirements. The half-day event held under the theme “AML/CFT-PF Reporting Requirements for CMOs,” was aimed at enhancing understanding of CMOs’ reporting obligations under the AML/CFT-PF regulatory framework and emphasised the importance of these obligations in relation to Zambia’s national AML/CFT-PF risk profile and capital market sector risk assessment. The engagement was convened in response to observed instances of failure or neglect by some CMOs to submit suspicious transaction and currency reports to the Financial Intelligence Centre (“FIC”). The workshop also served as a platform for dialogue and feedback on the challenges CMOs face in meeting their reporting obligations. Given the subject matter, the FIC was identified as a strategic partner and was invited to deliver a presentation during the session. Strategic Outcome of Collaborative Engagements The strategic outcome of each of the engagements is highlighted in the following table:

80 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report Collectively, these engagements strengthened regulatory cooperation, improved compliance and reinforced investor protection. Regional and International Cooperation The Commission continued to strengthen its regional and international partnerships through benchmarking and knowledge-sharing initiatives. During the year, the Commission hosted delegations from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Eswatini and the Capital Markets Tribunal of Tanzania. These engagements provided valuable opportunities to exchange experiences on investor protection, enforcement practices, regulatory reforms and market development. The Commission also participated in the launch of the Capital Markets Tribunal’s 2024–2028 Strategic Plan, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening Zambia's capital markets dispute resolution framework. Looking Ahead Building on the achievements recorded during 2025, the Directorate will continue to strengthen regulatory enforcement and modernise Zambia’s securities regulatory framework. Priority initiatives for 2026 include:

progressing the repeal and replacement of the Securities Act;
advancing the Commission’s IOSCO EMMoU application;
strengthening technology-enabled investigations;
enhancing cooperation with domestic and international regulatory agencies; and
expanding investor education and market integrity initiatives.
These priorities will further strengthen the Commission’s ability to detect and deter market misconduct, enhance investor confidence and support the continued development of fair, efficient and transparent capital markets in Zambia.

81 Securities and Exchange Commission_2025 Annual Report MARKET TRANSACTIONS The Securities Act requires all securities, including private funds and collective investment schemes (CISs), offered to the public to be registered or authorised by the Commission before they may be marketed or issued. In addition, the Commission reviews and approves mergers, acquisitions and other corporate transactions involving entities whose securities are regulated under the Act. These regulatory approvals form an integral part of the Commission’s investor protection mandate by ensuring that securities offered to the investing public satisfy the applicable disclosure and regulatory requirements, thereby enabling investors to make informed investment decisions. Similarly, the Commission’s oversight of mergers and acquisitions promotes orderly and transparent corporate transactions, safeguards the interests of minority shareholders and supports confidence in Zambia’s capital markets. During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Market Transactions Unit within the Directorate of Finance and Administration processed a broad range of applications relating to the registration of securities, authorisation of private funds and collective investment schemes, mergers and acquisitions, and other regulated market transactions. The Unit also considered applications for statutory waivers and exemptions under the Securities Act, together with other matters requiring regulatory approval. The Commission continued to process applications efficiently while maintaining rigorous regulatory standards to ensure that only transactions meeting the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations were approved. The table below summarises the securities registrations, fund authorisations and other market transaction approvals granted during the year under review.
