The company noted that 61.5% of the amount allocated for the capex object was spent by December 31, 2025, indicating a potential delay in implementation compared to the placement document's initial projections. However, the company's Board of Directors stated that the timing of utilization remains aligned with business requirements and the stated objects, considering factors like business performance, procurement, and growth projections.
