SINGAPORE, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — **MetaOptics Ltd (Catalist: 9MT) ("MetaOptics"
or the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"),** a leading-
edge semiconductor optics company, today announced the strong support received from
shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting held on 28 October 2026, in relation
to _inter alia_, the adoption of the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

The Share Buy-Back Mandate provides the Board with greater flexibility to undertake
purchases or acquisitions of the Company’s shares when deemed appropriate and in
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board believes that 
the Share Buy-Back Mandate is an important capital management tool that provides
the Company with additional flexibility to:

 ◦ Enhance shareholder value over time;
 ◦ Optimise the Company’s capital structure;
 ◦ Improve returns on equity and other key financial metrics where appropriate; 
   and
 ◦ Allow the Company to take advantage of opportunities to acquire its shares when
   market conditions warrant.

The adoption of the Share Buy-Back Mandate is timely as the Group continues to make
progress on both commercial execution and technology development:

(1) The Group remains on track to fulfil its existing purchase orders for its Direct
Laser Writer ("**DLW**") platforms, with delivery scheduled to take place by end-
2026, which is expected to contribute positively to the Group’s revenue for the 
financial year ending 31 December 2026;

(2) Commercial engagement continues to build, and the Group has secured a design/
evaluation order of co-packaged optics ("**CPO**") modules incorporating its metalens
solutions and technology, from a major U.S. foundry customer, which is expected 
to support both ULED and laser-based configurations, further expanding the Group’s
product capabilities in next-generation optical interconnect applications; and

(3) The Group has also successfully completed the design and fabrication processes
validation of a 12-megapixel colour imaging titanium dioxide ("**TiO2**") metalens.
Production and fabrication on the Group’s 12-inch wafer is currently underway, with
the testing of the world’s first 12-megapixel colour imaging TiO2 metalens, expected
to commence in January 2027.

_Mr. Thng Chong Kim, Executive Chairman of MetaOptics_, said: "**_We are encouraged
by the progress we have made across both commercialisation, technology development
and engagements with institutional investors, signing of non-disclosure agreements
with U.S.-based customers, fulfilment of purchase orders, securing of new design/
evaluation orders, and breakthroughs in high-resolution metalens imaging. These 
achievements reinforce our confidence in the long-term potential of MetaOptics, 
our ability to create sustainable value for shareholders, and we remain well-capitalised
to execute on our growth plans and strategies_**"

The Share Buy-Back Mandate does not obligate the Company to purchase any shares.
Any future buy-backs will be undertaken only after taking into account market conditions,
the Company’s financial position, working capital requirements, growth plans and
other relevant factors.
