Business Update

February 3, 2026


Important Update about Sinclair US
Earlier this month, Ms. Andrea Trofimuk, SVP North America concluded her 15-year tenure with the organization. We wish Andrea much success in her future endeavors as she embarks on this next chapter.

Looking ahead, and with the goal of solidifying our financial and cash position in North America, Sinclair has begun a reset and rebuild phase of its Energy-Based Devices (EBD) business model in the United States. As we move through this period, we want to be transparent about what this means for our operations. From February 1st, the Company will operate using a streamlined structure during this disciplined reset phase.


Commercial / Customer Update
Sinclair remains committed to the EBD sector in the US and globally, focusing on customer
support and rebuilding the business for future strength.

• Sinclair will remain in the EBD space both in the US and globally
• Sinclair will continue to support our current customers

Change of this nature involves careful navigation, and we are addressing matters in a structured and considered way. The objective is to emerge from this reset in a stronger, more sustainable position.


Interim Business Leadership
To ensure a proper transition into a new business model in the US and Canada markets, Alfonso Ugarte (currently Sinclair Mexico Country Head) will take on the short-term role of Interim Business Head for Sinclair North America. Alfonso has demonstrated strong leadership since joining Sinclair in early 2024, successfully leading both the INJ and EBD businesses in Mexico, restoring growth and profitability, building a solid leadership team, and strengthening a valuesdriven culture. Additionally, prior to joining Sinclair, Alfonso has had direct experience in the US & Canada markets which will come in handy. He was NA Vice President for Stiefel and (more recently) as US Commercial Operations EVP for Almirall. He is an Industrial Engineer and holds a master’s degree in business administration from Duke University. We are confident that Alfonso’s experience, judgement, and leadership will provide the US organization with the focus required during this transition.
