1.1. The emergence of rapid globalisation and accelerating technological disruption within recent years has caused money laundering, financing of terrorism and proliferation financing to become an issue of unprecedented magnitude. Every day, organisations across the globe see new threats arise due to their global presence and vast diversity of products, services, markets, business lines, and distribution channels. The interconnectedness and integration of the global financial and trade system, ever-changing payment methods, and fewer restrictions on the movement of human capital have given rise to a whole new range of sophisticated methods for criminals to launder money, finance terrorism and facilitate the proliferation of weapons . The need to be more vigilant on an international level has arisen with coordinated and coherent efforts required at various levels to protect the integrity and stability of the international financial system, cut off the resources available to terrorists, and make it more difficult for those engaged in crime to profit from their criminal activities.1.2. Money Laundering Any person shall be deemed to have committed money laundering if they know, or there are sufficient indications or evidence to believe, that the funds, in whole or in part, are the proceeds of a Predicate Offence, and intentionally commit any of the acts defined in Clause (1) of Article (2) of this Decree-Law, including through digital systems, Virtual Assets, or cryptographic technologies, namely:a) converting, transferring, or carrying out any transaction involving the proceeds for the purpose of concealing or disguising their illicit origin;b) concealing or disguising the true nature of the proceeds, their source, location, disposition, movement, ownership, or rights related thereto;c) acquiring, possessing, or using the proceeds upon receipt thereof; ord) assisting the perpetrator of the Predicate Offence in evading punishment therefore. Money laundering is defined as any financial or banking transaction - including its commission through digital systems, virtual assets, or cryptographic technologies - aimed at concealing or changing the identity of illegally obtained funds by passing them through the financial and banking system to make them appear as originating from legitimate sources, and then re-pumping and investing them in a legal manner contrary to their real nature. Simply put, money laundering is the process of making dirty money look clean. Criminals launder money so that they can avoid detection by law enforcement authorities and make personal use of illicit proceeds, including further criminal activity and investment in legitimate businesses. Federal Decree by Law No. (10) of 2025 Regarding Anti-Money Laundering, and Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation Financing (the “AML/CFT/CPF Law”) defines money laundering as engaging in any of the following acts wilfully, or/and having sufficient indications that the funds are the proceeds of a felony or a misdemeanour including the financing of terrorism, the proliferation financing, and evasion of direct and indirect taxes (i.e., a predicate offence):• Converts, transfers, or carries out any transaction involving the Proceeds for the purpose of concealing or disguising their illicit origin.• Conceals or disguises the true nature of the proceeds, source, location, disposition, movement, ownership, or rights related thereto.• Acquires, possesses, or uses the Proceeds upon receipt thereof.• Assists the perpetrator of the Predicate Offence in evading punishment therefor. Stages of Money Laundering: Despite money laundering being a rather complex series of transactions, which are difficult to separate, it can be simplified into commonly consisting of three primary stages:1. Placement: This is the first stage in separating the illicit funds from their illegal source. During this phase, the initial proceeds that are derived from illegal activities are introduced into the financial system through typically, placing the funds into circulation through formal financial institutions, casinos, the real estate sector, the gold and precious metal industry, restaurant, and other legitimate businesses, both domestic and international.2. Layering: Once the proceeds from the illicit activities have entered the financial system, the next stage in the process involves converting the illegal funds into another form, creating complex layers of financial transactions to conceal the original source and ownership of the funds. This makes it difficult to associate the illegal funds with the predicate crime.3. Integration: This is the third stage that completes the money laundering cycle. By this stage, the laundered funds appear to be legitimate, and it is exceedingly difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal wealth. These integration schemes are done to ensure that laundered proceeds are placed back into the economy in what appear to be normal business or personal transactions.1.3. Financing of Terrorism Whoever intentionally provides, collects, or makes available funds by any means, directly or indirectly, including through digital systems, Virtual Assets, or cryptographic technologies, knowing that such funds shall be used, in whole or in part, for any of the following, shall be deemed to have committed Financing of Terrorism:a) the commission of a Terrorist Act or Acts;b) by a Terrorist or Terrorist Organisation;c) financing the travel of individuals to a State other than their residence or nationality to commit, prepare, plan, participate in, or facilitate a Terrorist Act, or providing funds for training on, or receiving training in, Terrorist Acts. For the purposes of this Clause, funds include any funds used in whole or in part, whether from legitimate or illegitimate sources, and regardless of whether they were actually used to commit or attempt a Terrorist Act, or linked to any specific act. Financing of Terrorism is deemed committed irrespective of the location of the accused relative to the Terrorist, Terrorist Organization, or the State where the act is or will be committed. The AML/CFT/CPF Law defines Financing of Terrorism as: Any person who provides, collects, prepares, or obtains funds or other assets, through any means, including digital systems, virtual assets, or encryption technologies, knowing that they will be used wholly or partially in any of the following cases, shall be considered to have committed the crime of financing terrorism:a) Committing a terrorist act or acts of terrorism;b) By a terrorist or terrorist organization; or c) Financing the travel or training of individuals for the purpose of committing, preparing, planning, organizing, participating in, or facilitating a terrorist act. For this definition, “funds used to finance terrorism” means any money or assets used in full or in part to support terrorism even if the money comes from a legal source. It does not matter whether the funds were actually used to carry out a terrorist act, or whether they are linked to a specific act. The offence still applies no matter where the person involved is located, where the terrorist group is based, or where the terrorist act takes place.1.4. Financing the Proliferation of Weapons Proliferation means the illicit and unauthorized trade, as regulated under the applicable legislation in the State, in materials, systems, equipment, components, programs, or technology contributing to the production or development of Weapons of Mass Destruction, related technology, or their means of delivery, including any act stipulated in Clause (3) of Article (3) of this Federal Decree Law. Except in cases permitted or authorized under the legislation in force in the State, or pursuant to treaties and agreements to which the State is a party, Proliferation Financing includes intentionally providing, collecting, or making available funds by any means, directly or indirectly, with knowledge that such funds shall be used, in whole or in part, for:a) the manufacture, possession, acquisition, development, production, sale, supply, export, transshipment, brokerage, transport, transfer, storage, or use of Weapons of Mass Destruction, their means of delivery, or related materials, including dual-use technologies and goods, when employed for said purposes; orb) any other act in accordance with United Nations Security Council resolutions issued under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations concerning the prevention, suppression, and cessation of Proliferation and its Financing. Knowledge, as an element of Financing of Terrorism or Proliferation Financing, may be inferred from the factual and objective circumstances of the act. Proliferation Financing refers to the risk of potential breach, non-implementation, or evasion of targeted financial sanctions related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It involves the risk that funds, financial services, or other economic resources may be used, directly or indirectly, to support the development, acquisition, manufacture, possession, transfer, or use of weapons of mass destruction. This includes attempts to conceal the true purpose of transactions, the identities of the parties involved, or the ultimate destination of goods or funds in order to circumvent international sanctions and export control requirements. The AML/CFT/CPF Law defines Financing the Proliferation of Weapons as:• The act of providing, collecting, or making available funds or other assets, directly or indirectly, knowing that they will be used, wholly or partially, for the manufacture, acquisition, possession, development, production, sale, supply, export, transhipment, brokering, transfer, conversion, storage, or use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery means, or related materials, including dual-use goods and technologies. • These activities are considered illegal unless they are specifically allowed under UAE law or under international agreements that the UAE has formally signed. Any actions covered by United Nations Security Council resolutions issued under Chapter VII of the UN Charter— aimed at preventing, stopping, or addressing the proliferation of weapons and their financing—are also treated as criminal offences. Knowledge and intent may be inferred from factual circumstances in both the crimes of financing terrorism and financing the proliferation of weapons.

ROLE OF THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER / MONEY LAUNDERING REPORTING OFFICER

11.1. The Compliance Officer will conduct an internal audit to assess the effectiveness of the AML/CFT/CPF Compliance and ensure its processes comply with regulatory requirements. The internal auditor will also play an important role in improving the controls by regularly tracking potentially identified weaknesses. Internal audit employees should have sufficient AML/CFT/CPF expertise and auditing experience. However, given the limited business transactions and small clientele/customers for the Company, an internal auditor may not be required immediately. 11.2. While conducting the Internal Audit, the Compliance Officer will have the following responsibilities: • Conducting periodic assessment of relevant AML/CFT/CPF programme documentation (for example, KYC/CDD/Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) policies and procedures and procedures related to identifying, investigating, and reporting suspicious transactions); • Conducting testing of AML/CFT/CPF controls and processes carried out by the Company, such as KYC/CDD/EDD, training, suspicious-activity reporting, record keeping, and retention, among others. • Conducting periodic evaluation of NEW BEST GOLD’s AML/CFT/CPF Risk Assessment; and • Following up on any remedial actions arising from independent audit or regulatory findings.

COMPLIANCE INTERNAL AUDIT

12.1. The purpose of this Policy is to set out provisions, procedures, and controls as enacted by NEW BEST GOLD concerning Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) and Combatting the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation Financing (“CFT/CPF”). All relevant personnel at NEW BEST GOLD must be aware of its existence and the contents within the Policy and hold the personal and corporate responsibility to bring any AML/CFT/CPF concerns to the attention of the AML/CFT/CPF Compliance Officer and/or any of its members. 12.2. The rationale behind the Policy is unequivocally clear. NEW BEST GOLD JEWELLERY TRADINGS LLC will only accept those Business Relationships: • Whose sources of funds can be reasonably established as legitimate; and • Who do not pose any risk (actual or potential) to NEW BEST GOLD’s reputation and commitment towards AML/CFT/CPF. 12.3. NEW BEST GOLD will also ensure that all its staff is aware of the Policy and its contents, including the penalty for any non-compliance, and will not tolerate any involvement in illegal activities.

PURPOSE & RATIONALE

13.1. The precious metals and stones sector offers opportunities for criminals seeking to conceal, transfer, and/ or invest their illicit proceeds. Like cash, precious metals and stones offer high value by weight, are difficult to trace and identify, and retain their value over time. Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones (DPMS), if they do not apply effective preventive measures, could be vulnerable to abuse by illicit actors engaged in laundering the proceeds of crime, financing of terrorism, arms trafficking, and sanctions evasion. 13.2. Risks Associated with Precious Metals and Stones • Precious metals and stones are generally compact, durable, odourless, and of high value. • Certain metals/stones (e.g., gold/diamond) are widely accepted as a method of exchange or currency. • Precious metals/stones retain their value over time and have roughly similar value all over the world. In addition to these properties, precious metals and stones have characteristics that make them particularly attractive to criminals seeking to launder funds and others engaged in illicit behaviour: • Differentiating precious metals and stones often requires laboratory techniques, so it can be difficult or impossible to track their movement. • Precious metals and stones can be transformed (through re-cutting or recycling) into different objects while retaining their value, interrupting known custody and transfer chains. • Purchase, sale, and exchange of precious metals often take place outside the formal financial system. For these reasons, DPMS may be targeted by illicit actors seeking to abuse their services and exploit the advantages of precious metals and stones. Although most transactions involving DPMS are legal, these businesses may trade in items that could be the proceeds of crime, purchased with the proceeds of crime, and/or used to launder the proceeds of crime, unknowingly or complicitly. DPMS poses a risk to NEW BEST GOLD. Complicit DPMS may knowingly partake in illicit activities and may, in turn, use their business relationships with NEW BEST GOLD to launder the proceeds of crime or carry out other illicit activity. Even DPMS that are not knowingly involved in illicit activities may use their accounts with NEW BEST GOLD to deal in the proceeds of crime. 13.3. Features of DPMS that Increase Risk Not all DPMS pose equal risk. A DPMS is likely to be considered higher risk when it provides products or services that are attractive to illicit actors, has operations in high-risk jurisdictions, or does not apply appropriate anti-money laundering/combatting the financing of terrorism and proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF) controls. 13.3.1. Regulatory Environment In many jurisdictions, DPMS are not required to comply with requirements related to the identification of customers and reporting suspicious activities. In other jurisdictions, these requirements are nominal. In jurisdictions where DPMS are not subject to effective supervision and enforcement, or where such oversight is weak, compliance measures are often inadequate. Even in jurisdictions with robust regulations, these requirements typically apply only to DPMS engaging in cash transactions above a certain value threshold. Where DPMS are unregulated or under&nbsp; regulated, they are unlikely to implement effective measures to protect themselves from abuse. In contrast, an effective AML/CFT/CPF framework and supervisory regime for DPMS can protect DPMS by effectively imposing AML/CFT/CPF requirements and by detecting, deterring, and prosecuting ML/TF crimes. It is important to note that certain DPMS in the UAE are required to comply with all requirements of the AML-CFT Decision, including the requirement to perform Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and report suspicious transactions. 13.3.2. Products, Services, and Delivery Channels Products, services, and delivery channels that facilitate the rapid, efficient, anonymous movement of value on a large scale will be more attractive to illicit actors and may put a DPMS at a higher risk of abuse. Such products, services, and delivery channels may include: • Products (such as bullion and uncut stones) that are particularly hard to trace, retain, or even increase in value despite being transformed into new forms (melted down, re-cut, etc.), and offer high value by weight. • Services, such as metal accounts, that allow customers to rapidly purchase and sell precious metals. • Delivery channels that allow transactions to be carried out quickly and anonymously, such as accepting cash or virtual assets and conducting transactions online or through intermediaries. • Digital platforms through which the precious metals are purchased and sold, without any face-to-face identification. 13.3.3. Customer Base The types of customers that a DPMS serves can also impact risk. For example, a DPMS that primarily deals with PEPs may be higher risk than one that serves a lower-profile clientele. 13.3.4. Geography DPMS may be based, or may trade internationally, in jurisdictions that are higher risk for money laundering, the financing of terrorism, and the financing of proliferation. Such DPMS may pose a heightened risk to LFIs. Higher-risk jurisdictions may be characterised by: • A low level of government oversight and regulation of the precious metal and stone value chain; • Low economic and political stability; • High use of the informal banking system; • High levels of corruption; • The presence of terrorists and other non-state armed groups; • Weak border control measures; and/or • Sanctions and embargoes 13.4. ML/TF/PF Risks to be considered by NEW BEST GOLD: When required to apply AML/CFT/CPF measures, NEW BEST GOLD should carefully consider factors such as customer risk, geographic risk, channel risk, and product, service, and transaction risk. Consideration should be given to such factors as: • Country of origin of the Precious Metals and Stones (PMS) — Particularly in relation to whether the country is a known production or trading hub for the type of PMS; has adequate regulations and controls; is a High-Risk Country (e.g. is subject to international financial sanctions, has a poor transparency or corruption index, or is a known location for the operation of criminal or terrorist organisations). • Country of origin or residence status of the counterparty or customer (whether a UAE national or a foreign customer, and in the case of the latter, whether associated with a High-Risk Country), particularly in relation to locations where the transaction is conducted, and the goods are delivered. • Channel by which the counterparty/customer is introduced (e.g., referrals versus walk-in, international versus domestic, in-person or via the digital platform or other media) and communicates (e.g., remote or personal contact, direct or indirect through a proxy). • Type, nature, and characteristics of the products and/or services, including but not limited to quantity, quality/level of purity, price/value, form (whether physical or virtual, raw/rough or processed/finished, etc.), rarity, portability, potential for anonymity. • Type, size, complexity, cost, and transparency of both the transaction (including whether the physical or virtual exchange of merchandise is involved) and the means of payment or financing—particularly in relation to whether they appear to be consistent with the counterparty or customer’s socio-economic profile, local market practices, and the degree of expertise required. • Use of complex trade structures, unnecessary intermediaries, front companies, or opaque ownership arrangements without clear commercial justification. • Inconsistencies or anomalies in trade documentation, including discrepancies between invoices, contracts, shipping documents, quantities, values, or descriptions of goods.

RISK FACTORS OF SPECIFIC CONCERN TO NEW BEST GOLD JEWELLERY TRADINGS LLC

14.1. NEW BEST GOLD is required to establish and implement internal control procedures aimed at preventing and impeding money laundering, financing of terrorism, and Proliferation Financing.

CUSTOMER ONBOARDING

17.1. NEW BEST GOLD maintains clear customer acceptance policies and procedures, including a description of the types of customers that are likely to pose a higher risk than average risk. Before accepting a client, KYC and due diligence procedures are followed by examining factors such as the customer’s background, country of origin, public or high-profile position, business activities, or other risk indicators.17.2. In case of retail Business NEW BEST GOLD will carry on Simplified Due Diligence on all Low-risk clients and if in case any retail Business transaction exceeds AED 55,000 (whether as a single transaction or Multiple Transactions) in that case Complete Customer Due Diligence process shall be followed.17.3. KYC is to be carried out according to the mandatory Customer KYC checklist: • Natural Person and Individual Members of Corporate Client KYC Checklist (Refer to Appendix A) • Legal Person (Corporate) KYC Checklist (Refer to Appendix B)17.4. NEW BEST GOLD should be required to conduct the KYC and CDD procedure when:• Establishing a new business relationship.• Carrying out occasional transactions above the applicable designated threshold.• There is suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing.• If NEW BEST GOLD has doubts about the veracity or adequacy of the previously obtained customer identification data.• It is necessary to obtain additional information from existing customers based on the conduct of the account.• When there are changes to signatories, mandate holders, beneficial owners, and other relevant key personnel. If the customer is unable to comply with these requirements, NEW BEST GOLD should:• Not open the account, commence business relations, or perform the transaction.• Terminate the business relationship.• Consider filing a suspicious-transaction report in relation to the customer.17.5. NEW BEST GOLD is strictly forbidden to do business with shell companies. Shell companies shall mean an institution that has no physical presence in any country, no active business and which merely exists on paper.17.6. An integral part of the KYC process is the carrying out of customer screening and relative risk assessment. Screening ensures that a customer is not listed on the official sanction’s lists issued by the Government and law enforcement agencies. Background checking is designed to identify any adverse information about the past conduct of an individual that may influence their suitability as a customer.17.7. When conducting the KYC process, there shall be no reliance on third-party information or “hearsay”. For applicants introduced to NEW BEST GOLD by a third party, NEW BEST GOLD must carry out and perform all identification, verification, and KYC procedures.17.8. It should be borne in mind that KYC is more than a procedure and is a discipline that is to be developed. For example, KYC should become second nature so that any significant information related to the customer obtained during meetings, telephone discussions, visits, online search, etc., and which is deemed to be relevant for the Policy, should be recorded. Fresh due diligence should be undertaken, especially if it appears that the veracity or accuracy of previous information is doubted.

KYC PROCESS

18.1. A risk-based approach is one of the most effective ways to protect against money laundering and terrorist financing. It is imperative to understand that certain risks associated with various elements of a customer’s profile may be indicative of potential criminal activity. This may include geographical and jurisdictional issues, business and product types, distribution channels, and prevailing transaction types and amounts.18.2. Customers will be reviewed, assessed, and allocated an appropriate level of risk of money laundering, divided into High, Medium, or Low Risk.• High-risk customers will be subject to enhanced levels of due diligence that go beyond the core policies and principles contained in this Policy.• Medium-risk customers will be subject to the core Policies and Procedures contained within this Policy.• Low-risk customers may be subject to certain flexibility within the procedures contained in this policy. However, care should be exercised to ensure that the Company continues to meet its legal obligations.18.3. Although it is generally accepted that failure to provide satisfactory due diligence documentation might be indicative of a money laundering concern, it is also recognised that, due to the geographic diversity of businesses, on occasion, it might prove difficult or impossible to obtain documentation that exactly meets the criteria set out within this Policy.18.4. If the situation mentioned in the Clause above occurs, and there are no reasons to suspect money laundering, the customer documentation should be communicated to senior management together with an explanation detailing the types of issues that arose. Senior management, in consultation with the Compliance Officer, will then review the documentation and consider the risks associated with acceptance of identification evidence that falls outside these procedures, thereafter, providing the personnel with advice and guidance, as appropriate.18.5. The risks considered in the assessment and decision process, and the conclusions reached should be properly documented within the customer KYC file, with appropriate sign-off by the individuals involved. Only Senior Management, in consultation with the Compliance Officer, may determine the High-risk level to be attributed to any customer or/ and approve documentation that does not meet the exact requirements of the Company's anti-money laundering Policy.18.6. All customers are subject to a risk assessment and risk ratings will be recorded in the file. Due diligence requirements must be commensurate with the risk level associated with the customer and enhanced due diligence will be necessary for all higher risk customers.18.7. In addition to trigger-based reviews, NEW BEST GOLD shall conduct periodic reviews of the Customer’s KYC and conduct CDD based on the risk profile of the customer:• High Risk Customers: Every 12 months • Medium Risk Customers: Every 18 months• Low Risk Customers: Every 24 months If there is no transaction with a particular account for 6 months, then the account is marked as Dormant and Re-KYC is performed once the client wants to reinitiate the transaction after 6 months. In relation to customers who did not trigger an alert, NEW BEST GOLD may consider refreshing required information and conducting a simplified due diligence by asking the customer to confirm baseline information on file along with documentary proofs. For customers who triggered an alert, an in-depth assessment of the customer activity may be required.

RISK-BASED APPROACH

19.1. A High-Risk Customer presents a higher-than-normal adverse risk of involvement in money laundering, financing of terrorism, Proliferation Financing or any other matter that the Senior Management or the Compliance Officer considers to be significant.19.2. To mitigate the risks associated with High-Risk Customers, it will be necessary to consider the application of a level of enhanced due diligence for those customers. NEW BEST GOLD’s Senior Management, in consultation with the MLRO, will determine whether the level of risk is acceptable.19.3. Enhanced Due Diligence ("EDD") will need to go beyond the normal requirements applied to the approval and monitoring of customers, as contained within this Policy. As the reasons for designation as high risk will vary from customer to customer, the nature and level of enhancement will need to be determined separately as and when high-risk customers are identified, and procedures will need to explain how the increased risks will be minimised.19.4. Should it be determined that a customer who fulfils the criteria for designation as high risk does not warrant enhanced due diligence, the reasons for the decision and the way the risks are mitigated should still be fully documented and placed in the customer's file.19.5. In addition, any EDD procedures carried out during the approval process, together with proposed procedures for future monitoring, should be fully documented and placed in the customer file.19.6. NEW BEST GOLD shall perform Enhanced Due Diligence in the following scenarios:• Customers from High-risk countries.• Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and Close Associates of PEPs.• If the customer/transaction is found to be suspicious/unusual.• Any other suspicious cases are alerted based on the rule violation(s). The above scenarios are reviewed periodically and updated as required through the Quarterly Compliance Officer.

ENHANCED DUE DILIGENCE (EDD)

20.1. A Politically Exposed Person or PEP is a term that is used to describe individuals who are, or have been, entrusted with prominent public positions, who can be susceptible to bribery and corruption. The following list contains examples of persons who may be considered PEPs, although this list should not be viewed as exhaustive:• Current and Ex-Head &amp; Deputy Head of state or National Government (President, Prime Minister, Government Ministers, Provincial Governors, Cabinet Members, their Deputies (assistants), Senior Ministerial staff, and Secretaries.• Current and ex-Members of National and Provincial Assemblies and Senate. • Senior Civil Servants, including Senior Government Officials, Heads of Government Departments, and the Police Service.• Senior Judicial &amp; Military officials• Senior Executives of state-owned Corporations.• High-ranking Officers in Diplomatic Service (Ambassadors, High Commissioners, Envoys, Attachés, Consul Generals, Consuls, Honorary Consuls, Counsellors, etc.)• Senior Political Party Officials and functionaries such as Leader, Chairman, Deputy leader, Secretary General, and Compliance officer or any other Senior ranks in the party (does not include middle-ranking or more junior individuals).• Close family members of PEPs, including spouses, children, parents, siblings, and may also include other blood relatives and relatives by marriage.• Closely associated persons, including close business colleagues and personal Advisors / Consultants to the politically exposed person, as well as persons who are expected to benefit significantly by being close to such a person.20.2. Due to their position and influence, it is recognised that many PEPs are in positions that potentially can be abused to commit money laundering (ML) offences and related predicate offences, including corruption and bribery, as well as conducting activity relating to terrorist financing (TF) or find that their public position has been unknowingly used or is being unknowingly used, for their benefit or benefit of others who may be involved in illegal activities such as corruption, bribery, fraud etc.20.3. Risk is increased considerably when a PEP is located in a high-risk country.20.4. NEW BEST GOLD will ensure that each beneficial owner or controller is not a PEP by performing searches on official databases to screen names against its database or by referring to publicly available information. The results of such verification will be recorded within the customer KYC file.20.5. If a PEP is identified, NEW BEST GOLD will:• Assign a rating of high risk to the customer.• Complete PEP Report, ensuring that the Senior Management approves establishing a business with the customer.• Conduct enhanced due diligence and be vigilant in monitoring the business relationship.• Ensure reasonable measures will be taken to establish the source of wealth/funds.• Track PEP relationships for the purposes of reporting and monitoring.

POLITICALLY EXPOSED PERSONS (PEPs)

21.1. NEW BEST GOLD will take all the required steps to ensure that all customers with whom a business relationship is established are screened against relevant notices such as: • United Nations sanctions (UN)• UAE (Local Terrorist List)• the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)• Her Majesty’s Treasury Department – UK (HMT)• European Union sanctions (EU)21.2. Screening shall also cover Proliferation Financing (PF) designations in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. (10) of 2025. NEW BEST GOLD shall identify, assess, and mitigate PF risks arising from clients, suppliers, and transactions. Any suspicion or reasonable grounds to suspect PF activities shall be reported to the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) via the goAML portal in the same manner as Money Laundering or Terrorism Financing suspicions.21.3. Any confirmed matches to sanctions lists will result in the decline of a business relationship, and the necessary reports will be made to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).21.4. NEW BEST GOLD shall document and record all the actions that were taken to comply with the sanction’s regime, including PF-related measures, and the rationale for such action. Compliance officer will consider if any further action is required such as freezing of funds.21.5. Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS) Obligations :a. NEW BEST GOLD is registered on the goAML portal and with the Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation (EOCN) to receive official notifications relating to the inclusion or removal of persons and entities from the Targeted Financial Sanctions (TFS) Lists, in compliance with Cabinet Resolution No. (74) of 2020.b. NEW BEST GOLD ensures ongoing compliance with TFS requirements by subscribing to sanctions updates issued by the EOCN through its official website.

MISCELLANEOUS

All gold prices displayed on the Platform are indicative only and are based on prevailing market rates at the time of display. Gold prices are subject to continuous fluctuation due to market conditions, liquidity, and volatility. Accordingly, the price shown at the time an order is placed may differ from the price at which the order is ultimately executed.

INDICATIVE PRICING

Any order submitted by a customer through the Platform constitutes an offer to buy or sell gold and does not create a binding contract unless and until the order is accepted and confirmed by Best Gold. We reserve the right, at its discretion, to accept, reject, cancel, or re-quote any order prior to execution.

ORDER SUBMISSION AND ACCEPTANCE

Orders are executed subject to market availability, operational capacity, and applicable trading hours. Orders placed outside normal trading hours, including weekends, public holidays, or after daily cut-off times, may be queued for execution on the next available trading day. Such orders will be executed, if accepted, at the prevailing market price at the t ime of execution.

EXECUTION TIMING AND MARKET HOURS

Where there is a material change in the market price of gold between the time an order is placed and the time it is eligible for execution, Best Gold reserves the right to re-quote the price, reject the order, or cancel the order. In the event of a re-quotation, execution shall occur only upon the customer’s confirmation of the revised price within the timeframe specified by Best Gold. Failure to confirm within such timeframe may result in the order being cancelled.

PRICE MOVEMENT AND RE-QUOTATION

Best Gold does not guarantee that any order will be executed at the indicative price displayed or that an order will be executed at all. Execution is subject to market conditions, price availability, liquidity, system availability, and compliance with applicable laws and internal risk controls.

NO GUARANTEE OF EXECUTION

Best Gold shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or missed opportunity arising from f luctuations in the price of gold, delays in execution, non-execution of orders, or re quotation of prices resulting from market movements, timing of order placement, or operational constraint.

NO LIABILITY FOR MARKET FLUCTUATIONS

By placing an order through the Platform, the customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) gold prices are not fixed until execution; (b) orders may be executed at a different price than initially displayed; and (c) orders placed outside trading hours may be executed on the next trading day at prevailing market prices.

Price corrections are a normal part of every financial market, including gold. Gold prices move in response to factors such as interest rates, inflation expectations, currency movements, central bank policies, and global economic conditions.A temporary decline does not necessarily indicate weakness in the long-term outlook for gold. In many cases, corrections provide investors with an opportunity to purchase gold at more attractive prices.

Thinking of Buying Gold? Why Bars, Not Bracelets, Build Real Wealth

Gold has long been regarded as a safe haven asset—trusted across generations to preserve value, hedge against inflation, and provide financial security in uncertain times. Yet, when it comes to buying gold, many investors face a common dilemma: Should you invest in gold jewellery or gold bars?While gold bracelets and ornaments may be beautiful, they are rarely the smartest choice for building real, long-term wealth. Here’s why gold bars outperform gold jewellery as a serious investment.

Why Bars, Not Bracelets, Build Real Wealth

When you buy gold jewellery, you’re not just paying for gold. You’re also paying for:<ul><li>Making charges</li><li>Design and craftsmanship</li><li>Brand premiums</li><li>Retail markups</li></ul>These additional costs can range from 10% to 30% (or more) of the gold’s actual value. Unfortunately, when you sell the jewellery later, these charges are not recovered—buyers only pay for the gold weight and purity.Gold bars, on the other hand, are priced close to the live market rate, making them a far more cost-efficient investment.

Gold Jewellery Comes With Hidden Costs

Gold bars are typically available in 99.9% or 24-karat purity, clearly stamped and certified by recognized refineries. This transparency makes valuation straightforward and trustworthy.Jewellery, however, often comes in 18K or 22K, mixed with alloys for durability. This reduces the actual gold content and complicates resale value.For investors, purity equals predictability—and bars win decisively here.

Purity and Transparency Matter

One of the biggest advantages of gold bars is liquidity. They are:Easy to storeEasy to verifyEasy to sell almost anywhere in the worldJewellery resale is more complicated. Buyers may:Deduct value for wear and tearQuestion purityMelt the piece before valuationGold bars are universally accepted as an investment asset, making them far easier to convert into cash when needed.

Higher Liquidity, Easier Resale

Gold has long been regarded as a safe haven asset—trusted across generations to preserve value, hedge against inflation, and provide financial security in uncertain times.

What’s Happening in Market?

Several factors are currently influencing the gold market. Geopolitical tensions, economic indicators like inflation rates and interest rate decisions, and currency fluctuations all play a significant role. For instance, increased geopolitical instability often drives investors towards gold, considered a safe asset. Similarly, rising inflation can boost gold prices as investors seek to preserve their purchasing power.

Current Market Trends

Experts have varying opinions on gold's performance in 2024. Some analysts predict a bullish trend, citing ongoing economic uncertainties and potential inflationary pressures. They forecast that gold could reach new highs, driven by increased demand from both institutional and retail investors. Others take a more cautious approach, suggesting that factors like potential interest rate hikes by central banks could limit gold's upward movement. However, even these analysts acknowledge gold's potential as a hedge against market volatility.

Expert Predictions for 2024

For investors looking to capitalize on gold's potential, several avenues exist. Investing in physical gold, such as bars and coins, remains a popular choice. Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer a convenient way to gain exposure to gold without directly holding the physical asset. Additionally, investing in gold mining stocks can provide leverage to gold price movements. However, it's essential to conduct thorough research and consider your risk tolerance before making any investment decisions.

Investment Opportunities

Gold has always been a safe haven for investors, especially during times of economic uncertainty. As we step into 2024, understanding the trends and predictions for gold becomes crucial for making informed investment decisions. This article delves into the factors influencing gold prices, expert forecasts, and potential opportunities for investors.
