Drawing on years of international shipping and trading experience, BLK was built on the ambition to enable businesses of all sizes to connect, compete and trade more efficiently through technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Today, BLK operates BLKcommodities.com, a proprietary marketplace connecting businesses worldwide across commodities and raw materials, combining technology with physical fulfilment capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Commodity and raw material markets represent one of the largest areas of international trade, with annual transaction values exceeding US$23 trillion&sup1;. Despite its scale, the sector remains significantly less digitalised than many other industries, creating an opportunity for technology to improve transparency and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Financial &amp; Operational Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>Rapid Growth: For the financial year ended 30 June 2025, the Company recorded revenue of &pound;20.7m, up from &pound;5.5m in the previous year.<\/li>\n<li>Positive Operating Performance: Achieved adjusted EBITDA of &pound;1.05m.<\/li>\n<li>Platform Scale: As of December 2025, more than US$15B of commodity inventory was available through the platform2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The decision to list on Euronext Access Dublin reflects BLK&rsquo;s international outlook and ambition to build a global technology platform for commodity trade. As part of the Euronext Group, the largest pan-European exchange and one of the world&rsquo;s leading exchanges, BLK gains access to an integrated capital markets ecosystem and broader investor community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Commenting on the commencement of trading, Gabriele Dad&ograve;, Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer, said:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;Today marks a transformational milestone in the history of BLK. We founded the company with a simple belief: that every business should pay the real value for the goods it needs. That no matter the size of your business, you should be able to be seen, connect, compete.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We believed that digitalisation of commodity trading was not a question of if, but a question of when.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Today brings us closer to that objective, building a new, digital market infrastructure for the trading and fulfilment of commodities and raw material. By becoming a public company on Euronext, we gain a platform to connect with a broader community of investors, partners and businesses that share our ambition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Our public listing is not a point of arrival. It is a new beginning. Our journey starts here.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Company intends to leverage its public profile to continue investing in its marketplace technology, increase adoption, develop additional technology-enabled services and explore strategic opportunities to accelerate long-term growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Enquiries:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">BLK Global PLC, Gabriele Dad&ograve;, Founder &amp; Group Chief Executive Officer<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Email: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:investors@blk-global.com\">investors@blk-global.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Website: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blkcommodities.com\/investors\">www.blkcommodities.com\/investors<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About BLK Global PLC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">BLK Global PLC is a UK-based technology company building the digital infrastructure for global commodity trade.
