Pursuant to Article 72(2) of MiCAR and Article 7 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1142

Last updated: 30.06.2026.

Young Platform S.p.A. (“Young Platform” or the “Company”), as a crypto-asset service provider authorised under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCAR), adopts this notice to inform its Clients of the policies and measures put in place to identify, prevent, manage and disclose conflicts of interest.

What is a conflict of interest?

A conflict of interest arises where Young Platform or its collaborators have an interest that may influence the objective and independent exercise of their duties to the detriment of the Client. Such situations may arise, for example, where the Company may obtain a financial gain at the Client’s expense, or where it has an interest distinct from that of the Client in the outcome of a service.

Our conflicts of interest policy

Young Platform has adopted an internal Procedure governing the identification, prevention, management and disclosure of conflicts of interest, in accordance with Article 72 of MiCAR and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1142. The Procedure is approved by the Board of Directors and is periodically updated.

Types of conflict that may arise

In connection with the services provided by Young Platform, conflicts of interest may arise in the following circumstances:

• Exchange services: Young Platform acts as direct counterparty in crypto-asset exchanges, which means that the Company has a direct economic interest in the transactions.
  
• Placing of the YNG Token: Young Platform issues the YNG Token and carries out placing activities in respect of the same, with a resulting direct interest in the dissemination and the maintenance of the value of such token.
  
• Advice and portfolio management: conflicts may arise where the Company recommends or allocates crypto-assets in which it holds proprietary positions or for which it receives incentives.
  
• Relationships with external providers: the Company makes use of external providers (for example, for custody, compliance and payment services) that may find themselves in conflict situations.
  
• Personal transactions of collaborators: the Company’s employees and collaborators may hold crypto-assets or have interests in crypto projects.
  

The measures we adopt

To prevent and manage conflicts of interest, Young Platform has implemented the following organisational measures:

• Information barriers: differentiated access to IT systems to prevent the improper circulation of sensitive information between different operational areas.
  
• Functional separation: separation between the custody, trading, advisory and compliance functions to ensure the independence of decision-making processes.
  
• Neutral remuneration policies: the compensation of collaborators is not linked to specific crypto-assets or trading volumes.
  
• Rules on personal transactions: collaborators are subject to restrictions on personal transactions in crypto-assets, including prohibitions on trading on the basis of inside information and blackout periods.
  
• Continuous monitoring: the Compliance Function continuously monitors the effectiveness of the measures adopted.
  

When and how we will inform you

Where a conflict of interest cannot be adequately managed through the organisational measures adopted, Young Platform will inform you prior to the provision of the service. The communication will include:

• the specific nature of the conflict of interest;
  
• the potential adverse effects on the Client’s interests;
  
• the measures adopted to mitigate such effects.
  

This communication will enable you to take an informed decision regarding the service in question.

Risks for clients

If not adequately managed, conflicts of interest could result in the following risks for Clients:

• receiving recommendations or services that are not fully aligned with their own interests;
  
• incurring higher costs than alternative solutions;
  
• being exposed to unbalanced or incomplete information.
  

Young Platform is committed to minimising these risks through the measures described above.
