Perspectives and goals for the development of the company in 2026.

During its regular meeting in the fourth quarter of 2025., the management of the company discussed the existence of circumstances, which have a strong negative impact on the company's activities and hinder its prosperity.

As the main factors for this were found:

• The catastrophic lack of qualified human resources for the activities related to service and maintenance of electric power facilities, industrial machines and technological lines;

• Absence of adequate measures at the level of state and local administrative management to counteract and deal with the crisis situation caused by the fatal shortage of human resources at almost all levels;

• The limited storage and repair resources of the company's own service base;

• Lack of a production base to diversify the existing risks from the limited opportunities for the activities currently carried out by the company.

Considering the results, from an analysis made taking into account the prospects and possibilities, to meet the human resources we need on the territory of the country, the following findings were made:

• The current education system, is unable to cope with the problem of the lack of qualification of the available human resources.

• It is unrealistic to expect a change in this situation in the next 10-15 years;

• The available human resources in the country under the age of 30., have low and unsatisfactory professional training leading to:

  • Inability to assign responsibilities and duties, related to repair and servicing of energy machines and equipment, of persons - typical representatives of this group;

  • Inability to be fully staffed, existing working groups;

  • Low efficiency in the use of financial resources, to provide remuneration for existing human resources.

• In view of these circumstances, it is impossible at this stage to fully implement the activities, related to repairs, maintenance and servicing of electrical equipment.

Short-term and long-term measures to address existing problems were identified, namely:

• Retaining the qualified persons from the available human resources in the company;

• Creation of new service and repair bases of the company in. Sevlievo and Gr. Pirdop;

• Creation of a production and commercial base to diversify and complement the activities and services offered by the company, as well as for the development of new ones.

In order to fulfill the set goals, decisions were made to :

• Acquisition of properties to create new service and repair bases, with the possibility of combining production-commercial and other activities;

• Establishment of training centers for unskilled personnel;

• Revision of existing contracts for subscription service and limitation of responsibilities under them, until their complete completion;

• In case of extreme necessity, to proceed to the termination of contracts, which do not provide means for adequate staff remuneration and lead to the destruction of existing human resources;

• Do not enter into new contracts for subscription service of electrical equipment, without providing new additional human resources, having opportunity and qualification, to perform such activities;

• Not to enter into contracts for the subscription service of facilities, for which the company did not participate in their construction.

So far, these goals have been achieved:

Two properties with a suitable configuration were acquired, respectively in Sevlievo and. Pirdop.

Activities have started, by creating a vision and projects the accelerated reconstruction, in accordance with the defined goals for the development of the company;

Talks continue to acquire two other properties, for which there is a vision for their possible use for diversification of the activity that the company currently carries out.

It was decided from 1.02.2026., to stratify a step-by-step increase in remuneration in the company.

For this purpose, a preliminary study and discussion with the staff will be carried out, regarding the method and specific parameters for the successful and effective realization of this intention.
