Prenetics Announces Update to Capital Allocation Strategy; Ceases Bitcoin Purchases to Focus on IM8

Company's Capital and Strategic Focus Now Exclusively Focused on IM8

IM8 FY 2026 Revenue Projected to Reach $180 - $200 Million

Prenetics Global Limited (NASDAQ: PRE) ("Prenetics" or the "Company"), a leading health sciences company, and parent of the IM8 premium health and longevity brand, today announced a strategic realignment to fully capitalize on the rapid growth of its consumer health brand, IM8. Prenetics ceased its daily Bitcoin purchasing activity as of December 4, 2025, and following approval by its Board of Directors, Prenetics announced that it will no longer pursue future acquisitions of Bitcoin. This decision allows Prenetics to dedicate its resources and attention exclusively to the significant market opportunity presented by IM8.

This strategic move comes at a time of unprecedented success in the consumer wellness sector with IM8, the fastest-growing supplement brand in industry history, which achieved over $100 million in annualized recurring revenue ("ARR") in 11 months since launch.

Danny Yeung, CEO and Co-Founder of Prenetics, commented, "The phenomenal success of IM8 has exceeded all expectations and scaled much faster than our original expectations. Our Board and management team unanimously agreed that the most promising path to creating significant, sustainable shareholder value is to devote our undivided attention to this once-in-a-generation opportunity clearly visible in IM8. We are incredibly excited about the future of IM8 and are confident that by focusing our efforts, we can propel its growth to even greater heights. Operating from a position of strength, we are making disciplined strategic decisions that reflect our experience as operators and our commitment to maximizing long-term shareholder value."

The Company retains a robust financial position, with a strong balance sheet that includes over $70 million in cash and cash equivalents, 510 BTC and zero debt. This financial stability provides a solid foundation for the Company's focused expansion of IM8.

Following Board approval, Prenetics will maintain its existing Bitcoin holdings of 510 BTC as a treasury reserve asset. Prenetics has committed to not allocate any existing capital or new capital for the purpose of acquiring additional Bitcoin. Capital allocation will be directed exclusively toward the growth, operations, and strategic expansion of IM8, including product innovation, brand building, talent acquisition, working capital, and international expansion.

Prenetics believes this decision strengthens strategic clarity, reinforces disciplined governance, and aligns the Company fully with shareholder priorities as it continues to scale IM8 globally.
