• Mrs. Eman Al Awadhi and Mr. Moustapha Chami appointed to Anghami’s Board of Directors

Abu Dhabi, UAE – Anghami Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGH) (“Anghami” or “the Company”), the leading multi-media streaming platform in the MENA region, today announced the appointment of Mr. Meshal Abdullah Mohammad Ali as Chairman of the Board.

In addition, Mrs. Eman Al Awadhi and Mr. Moustapha Chami have joined the Board of Directors.

These appointments align with the Company’s strategic goals to capitalize on the rapidly growing regional streaming market, following recent transactions to reposition the Company, including the integration of OSN+ and a transformative partnership with Warner Bros.

Mr. Meshal Ali, incoming Chairman of Anghami, commented: “I am honored to step into the role of Chairman, having served on the Board of Directors since 2024. On behalf of my fellow directors, I would like to thank Sheikha Adana for her leadership throughout Anghami’s evolution.
