SUMMARISED UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


Astoria is a Mauritian domiciled global investment company with primary listings of its shares on the Stock
Exchange of Mauritius ("SEM") and the Alternative Exchange ("AltX") of the JSE Limited ("JSE"). Astoria aims to
grow its Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share, measured in US Dollars ("USD" or "$"), at a high real rate over time.

Section 12.18 of the SEM Listing Rules requires Astoria to provide quarterly reports to its shareholders.

Astoria's valuation policy is to perform detailed valuations of unlisted investments for interim results (June) and
year end results (December). At all other times, unlisted values are kept unchanged, except in instances where
developments require an immediate and material change in value, which is applied without delay. Price changes
for listed investments and currencies are reflected on an ongoing basis.

Due to, inter alia, the continued pressure on diamond prices and uncertainty in the global diamond market,
downward adjustments were made to the carrying value of the diamond assets of Astoria in the calculation of
the NAV as at 31 March 2025. The diamond assets are represented by Trans Hex Group (Pty) Ltd, Trans Hex
Marine (Pty) Ltd and TIS Management Holdings Limited. Consequently, the NAV per share as at 31 March 2025
decreased by 6.23% in USD (8.69% in ZAR) when compared to the NAV per share as at 31 December 2024.
