CORPORATE INFORMATION Purcari Wineries Plc (“Purcari”, “Group”, or “Company) is one of the largest wine groups in the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. The Group manages circa 1.300 hectares of vineyards and operates four production platforms in Romania and Moldova, three of which are dedicated to wine production using grapes from own vineyards and from third-party suppliers and one dedicated to brandy production. In December 2020, the Group had over 700 employees in its four production platforms. The Group is the leader in the premium wine segment in Romania1, with a circa 30% segment share, and the largest wine exporter from Moldova, delivering to over 40 countries in Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Scandinavian countries, UK, etc.), in Asia (China, Japan, South Korea) and in America (Canada and USA). Founded in 1827, Purcari is the most awarded winery from the CEE region at Decanter London 2015-2020 and among the highest ranked on Vivino, with an average score of 4.1 based on over 50,000 reviews. The Group has 3 wine brands across wide range of price segments in the still and sparkling wine categories, as well as a brand in the popular premium brandy segment: • Premium wine: Purcari (“True values don’t change with time. Since 1827”) is the Group’s flagship brand, dating back to 1827. It achieved its first international success in 1878, winning the gold medal at the Paris World Exhibition with Negru de Purcari. The Group is the most awarded CEE winery at Decanter London in 2015-2020 with 73 medals. In 2020, the Group received 74 medals from Decanter, IWCS, Challenge International du Vin Bordeaux, Mundus Vini and Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.

Negru de Purcari 2015 ranked #1 in the world in the $10 - $40 price segment by Vivino. • Medium to premium wine: Crama Ceptura (“Crama Ceptura brings us together”) was acquired in 2003. It is primarily distributed in Romania. Ceptura is situated in the Dealu Mare region, which is among the most recognized wine regions in Romania, having a premium image, which strengthens the brand’s value proposition. The brand story is based on the unique climate of Dealu Mare micro-zone, with bountiful sunshine combined with the favourable topography of the hilly area, near the Carpathian slopes, allowing for optimal sun exposure. Since 2014, Crama Ceptura wines are offered in four main price categories: premium Cervus Magnus Monte, upper medium-priced Dominum Cervi, medium-priced Astrum Cervi, and economy plus Cervus Cepturum. • Economy plus to popular premium wine: Bostavan (“Taste it. Love it.”) was launched in 2005. Since 2013, a unified Bostavan umbrella brand was launched to support a portfolio of sub-brands in the economy and medium- priced segments and build stronger brand recognition for the wide family of wines. Starting with 2016, the Group focused on the gradual premiumization of the Bostavan brand, with the launch of Dor series, riding a cool-ethno communication platform. • Medium to premium brandy: Bardar (“Only grapes, oak and patience”). The brand was launched in 1929 with the foundation of the distillery by a German entrepreneur. Historically, the Group did not focus on pushing the branded sales of Bardar, relying predominantly on the sales of bulk brandy. However, starting 2015 Bardar changed its strategy, focusing on the sale of branded bottled products. The relaunch of Bardar as an aspirational, progressive brand has been a successful one turning it into a growth engine for the Group. Up to 2019 it used to be the fastest growing segment in the portfolio, however affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 as most dependent on Moldovan market, Hotel/Restaurant/Catering (“HoReCa”) and Duty-Free channels. The fourth quarter 2020 and beginning of 2021 has shown steady sales rebound. The Company is a public company incorporated and organized under the laws of Cyprus, registered with number HE 201949. The corporate seat of the Company is in 1 Lampousas Street 1095 Nicosia, Cyprus. The Company operates in accordance with Cypriot law, the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association. 1 Premium market size based on Nielsen data for 2020 5 PURCARI WINERIES PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED MANAGEMENT REPORT The Group is listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange (“BVB”) since 2018 under ticker WINE.
