(1)

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Tender Offers described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and proration, the principal amount of each series of Notes accepted for purchase will be determined in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Priority Level specified in the table above (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 20 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level). Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline, regardless of the Acceptance Priority Level of such later-tendered Notes, as described in the Offer to Purchase under "Description of the Offers—Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount; Acceptance Priority Levels; Proration."

(2)

For each series of Notes in respect of which a par call date is indicated, the calculation of the applicable Early Tender Consideration (as defined below) will be performed taking into account such par call date. See Annex A to the Offer to Purchase for an overview of the calculation of the Early Tender Consideration (including the par call detail) with respect to the Notes.

(3)

The Early Tender Consideration for each series of Notes payable per each $1,000 principal amount will be based on the fixed spread specified in the table above (the "Fixed Spread") for such series of Notes, plus the yield of the specified Reference Security for that series as quoted on the Bloomberg reference page specified in the table above as of 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day following the Early Tender Deadline, unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Price Determination Date"). Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Early Tender Consideration. Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Early Tender Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium. The applicable Accrued Coupon Payment will be payable in cash in addition to the applicable Early Tender Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable.

(4)

Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

The Tender Offers are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 30, 2026 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"). The Tender Offers are open to all holders (the "Holders") of the Notes. ONEOK reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount at any time, including on or after the Price Determination Date (as defined below), without extending withdrawal rights except as required by law. Notes of a series may be subject to proration (as described in the Offer to Purchase) if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers, each Holder who validly tenders and does not subsequently validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 14, 2026 (the "Early Tender Deadline") will be entitled to receive the applicable Early Tender Consideration (the "Early Tender Consideration") of the Notes accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) if and when such Notes are accepted for payment. The Early Tender Consideration for each series of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity based on the bid side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase. In calculating the applicable Early Tender Consideration for a series of Notes, the application of the par call date will be in accordance with standard market practice. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2026, or such other date as ONEOK extends the Tender Offers (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Expiration Time") will be entitled to receive only the applicable tender offer consideration (the "Tender Offer Consideration") equal to the applicable Early Tender Consideration less the applicable Early Tender Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date, if and when such Notes are accepted for payment. The Early Tender Consideration and Tender Offer Consideration will be determined at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, September 15, 2026, unless extended by ONEOK (the "Price Determination Date").

Payments for the Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for the Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline is expected to be September 17, 2026, three business days following the scheduled Early Tender Deadline (the "Early Settlement Date"). The settlement date for the Notes that are validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time is expected to be October 1, 2026, two business days following the scheduled Expiration Time (the "Final Settlement Date").

Subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and proration, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (with 1 being the highest) will be accepted before any validly tendered Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 20 being the lowest), and all Notes validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline having a lower Acceptance Priority Level. If the Tender Offers are not fully subscribed at the Early Tender Deadline, subject to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount and proration, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline even if such Notes validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

If the Tender Offers are fully subscribed at the Early Tender Deadline, Holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase regardless of their Acceptance Priority Level.

ONEOK's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers is subject to, and conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the previously announced minority equity investment in ONEOK by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the "Minority Equity Investment") and the related series of reorganization transactions described in the Offer to Purchase (the "Reorganization Transactions"), including the merger of ONEOK with and into a newly formed successor issuer, Falcon Merger Sub, L.L.C. ("Falcon Merger Sub"), a newly formed Oklahoma limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Falcon TopCo, Inc. ("Falcon TopCo"), an Oklahoma corporation, with Falcon Merger Sub surviving the merger. Upon effectiveness of the Reorganization Transactions, Falcon Merger Sub will be renamed "ONEOK, L.L.C." and Falcon TopCo will be renamed "ONEOK, Inc." (the effective date of the Reorganization Transactions, the "Reorganization Date"). From and after the Reorganization Date, references herein to "ONEOK" shall be deemed to refer to ONEOK, L.L.C., and all notes previously issued by ONEOK or ONEOK Partners, L.P. will be assumed by ONEOK, L.L.C. and guaranteed by ONEOK, Inc. The Tender Offers are not contingent upon the tender of any minimum principal amount of the Notes.

Following the commencement of the Tender Offers, ONEOK intends, but is not obligated to, issue a notice of redemption for all of its 5.550% Senior Notes due 2026 and a portion of its 4.250% Senior Notes due 2027, up to an aggregate amount of approximately $250 million. Any such redemption would be made in accordance with the terms of the applicable indenture pursuant to which such Notes were issued, which provides for a make-whole redemption price as described therein. Neither this statement of intent nor similar statements of such intent included elsewhere in this press release shall constitute a notice of redemption under any indenture. Any such notice, if made, will only be made in accordance with the provisions of the applicable indenture.

ONEOK or its affiliates may from time to time purchase additional Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, or ONEOK may redeem Notes pursuant to the terms of the applicable indenture governing each series of Notes. Any future purchases may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Holders of Notes than the terms of the Tender Offers and, in either case, could be for cash or other consideration. Any future purchases will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) ONEOK will choose to pursue in the future. The effect of any of these actions may directly or indirectly affect the price of any Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation or termination of the Tender Offers.

ONEOK has retained Barclays Capital Inc. to serve as Dealer Manager for the Tender Offers. D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been retained to serve as the Information and Tender Agent for the Tender Offers. Questions regarding the Tender Offers may be directed to Barclays Capital Inc. at 745 Seventh Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10019, (800) 438-3242. Requests for the Offer to Purchase may be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. at 28 Liberty Street, 53rd Floor, New York, New York 10005, (646) 690-9645 (for banks and brokers) or (800) 967-7510 (for all others), or by email (OKE@dfking.com). ONEOK is making the Tender Offers only by, and pursuant to, the terms of the Offer to Purchase. None of ONEOK, the Dealer Manager, or the Information and Tender Agent make any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender or refrain from tendering their Notes. Holders must consult their own investment and tax advisors and make their own decisions as to whether to tender their Notes and, if so, the principal amount of the Notes to tender. The Tender Offers are not being made to holders of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the securities laws or blue sky laws require the Tender Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offers will be deemed to be made on behalf of ONEOK by the Dealer Manager, or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described above, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Der Weltmeister muss durch eine knüppelharte WM- Quali! Deutschland knackt Polen erst in der Overtime - "Etwas glücklich!" Am Samstag startet die Basketball-Frauen-WM live bei MagentaSport & MagentaTV

München (ots)

Das war ein echt hartes Stück Arbeit für den Basketball-Welt- und Europameister! Erst in der Overtime besiegt das deutsche Team die zuvor ungeschlagenen Polen in Danzig mit 96:94. Im entscheidenden Moment war es einmal mehr Kapitän Dennis Schröder, der das Foul selbst zog und von der Freiwurflinie eiskalt blieb. Bitter für Deutschland: Im 4. Viertel räumte Isaac Bonga beim Versuch eines Rebounds Teamkollege Oscar da Silva ab, der daraufhin mit Platzwunde im Gesicht behandelt werden musste.

Die DBB-Männer beenden ihr Sommer-Länderspielfenster mit vier Siegen aus vier Spielen sowie dem Titel im Supercup. In der Tabelle der WM-Quali steht Deutschland bei 15 Punkten nach 8 Spieltagen auf Platz 3, hinter Tabellenführer Kroatien und Polen. MagentaSport-Experte Alex Vogel findet das Sommerfenster "sehr positiv. Natürlich nicht in gesamter Besetzung ohne die Wagner-Brüder, ohne (Isaiah) Hartenstein, der immer noch fehlt. Du gewinnst Spiele, du gewinnst sie größtenteils souverän, heute etwas glücklich." Das nächste WM-Quali-Fenster startet mit dem Spiel in Lettland (27.11.) und am 30. November ist das Rückspiel gegen Polen - live bei MagentaSport!

Für die DBB-Frauen wird es erst jetzt so richtig entscheidend. Ab Freitag beginnt die Heim-WM in Berlin. Zuletzt stießen auch die WNBA-Spielerinnen Leonie Fiebich, Frieda Bühner sowie Nyara Sabally zum Team. Alle Spiele des DBB-Teams und alle wichtigen Partien sowie exklusive Einblicke hinter die Kulissen des deutschen Teams gibt es bei MagentaSport und MagentaTV ab dem 04. September.

Nachfolgend die wichtigsten Clips und Aussagen vom WM-Qualifikationsspiel der Männer in Polen. Bei Verwendung bitte MagentaSport als Quelle angeben. Am Freitag startet die Frauen-Basketball-WM aus Berlin bei MagentaSport und MagentaTV, mit allen Spielen des deutschen Teams und allen Entscheidungsspielen. Für die Mannschaft von Bundestrainer Olaf Lange steht ab 17.15 Uhr das Duell mit Spanien an. Bereits ab 13.45 Uhr trifft die USA auf China.

WM-Qualifikation, Männer: Polen - Deutschland 94:96 (OT) - "Etwas glücklich", aber alle 4 Sommer-Spiele gewonnen!

Alex Vogel, MagentaSport-Experte, in das Halbzeit über das Kontaktverbot der WNBA, das besagt, dass Nationaltrainer und Verband vor dem offiziellen WNBA-Abstellungstermin keinerlei Kontakt zu einer vorzeitig nach Deutschland gereisten Spielerin haben dürfen - in diesem Fall Nyara Sabally - um Sperren wegen einer vermeintlich verfrühten Abstellung zu verhindern und darüber, wie wichtig die Spielerinnen aus der WNBA sind: "Sie sind unabdinglich. Das braucht die deutsche Mannschaft. Gerade ohne Satou Sabally, die verletzungsbedingt fehlt, sind Nyara Sabally und Leo Fiebich Must-Haves in dieser Mannschaft, um um eine Medaille kämpfen zu können. Das ist wahnsinnig kompliziert, weil die Mannschaft in dieser Konstellation noch keinen Rhythmus hat aufnehmen können. Die Regeln sind teilweise absurd. Dieses Nichterlauben des Kontakts ist in meinen Augen absoluter Wahnsinn. Aber wir kennen das aus der NBA, wo es ähnliche Parallelen gibt, wo es auch schon Probleme gegeben hat. Aber diese Mannschaft braucht Nyara Sabally und Leo Fiebich, die auch nach Pause ein überragendes Comeback in der WNBA gefeiert hat, mit 20 Punkten und dem Gamewinner bei ihrem Comeback. Wenn die beiden dabei sind, wenn die beiden der Mannschaft Rhythmus geben, die Mannschaft Rhythmus in dieser Konstellation findet, ist das eine extrem gute Mannschaft."

Island - Die EU muss sich fragen, was sie noch anzubieten hat

Straubing (ots)

Für die EU ist das Abstimmungsergebnis eine Schlappe. Island wäre ein Gewinn gewesen: demokratisch stabil, wohlhabend, eng an den Binnenmarkt gebunden und strategisch wichtig im Nordatlantik und in der Arktis. Wenn ein solches Land selbst nach Jahren enger Zusammenarbeit keinen Mehrwert in einer Mitgliedschaft erkennt, muss die EU sich fragen, was sie eigentlich noch anzubieten hat.

Rüstungsausgaben - Nicht mehr, sondern weniger Sicherheit

Straubing (ots)

Mit dieser Bundesregierung und an der Spitze des Verteidigungsministeriums Boris Pistorius hat sich dieses Deutschland auf ein überstarkes und maßloses Wettrüsten eingelassen, das am Ende nicht mehr, sondern weniger Sicherheit für das Land bringt. Von unserer massiven Aufrüstung und der dahinter liegenden Rhetorik geht längst selber ein aggressives Zeichen in die Welt hinaus.

FR exklusiv - Jugendeinrichtungen beklagen rechte Übergriffe

Frankfurt (ots)

Jugendverbände, Jugendclubs und Jugendgruppen sind nach einem Bericht der Frankfurter Rundschau (Montagsausgabe, 31.8.2026) Angriffen und Bedrohungen aus der extrem rechten Szene ausgesetzt. Sie berichten von Einbrüchen in ihre Räume, demonstrativen "Hausbesuchen" durch rechtsextreme Personen, von Hass-Mails und körperlichen Übergriffen.

Das geht aus der "Bedrohungsstudie 2026" hervor, die vom Erziehungswissenschaftler Benno Hafeneger, der Bildungsexpertin Jana Sämann und den Referenten des Deutschen Bundesjugendrings (DBJR), Maximilian Lorenz und Lars Reisner, erarbeitet wurde. Sie erscheint in der Novemberausgabe der Fachzeitschrift "deutsche jugend" und liegt der Frankfurter Rundschau bereits vor.

Danach hat jede vierte Institution bereits wenigstens einen Vorfall erlebt, den sie als rechtsextremen Angriff oder Übergriff einstuft, wie die FR am Montag berichtet. An der Erhebung von Dezember 2025 bis April 2026 nahmen bundesweit 354 Jugendgruppen, -verbände und -ringe teil.

Global Times: How Chinese NEVs gain ground in global markets, providing greener, smarter mobility

NEWS PROVIDED BY

Global Times

Aug 30, 2026, 10:12 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

BEIJING, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This year, the 47th Bangkok International Motor Show was held at the IMPACT Arena, Exhibition and Convention Center. BYD's booth was packed, with crowds lining up to check out the vehicles on display. Increasingly, Chinese new-energy vehicles (NEVs) are winning over consumers around the world.

In Southeast Asia, consumers are willing to wait in long lines to buy popular Chinese NEV models. In Europe, five Chinese automakers sold a combined 138,000 vehicles across 31 countries in May, up 64 percent year-on-year. For the first time, Chinese automakers surpassed Japanese carmakers in monthly new vehicle registrations in Europe. In South America, Brazil has become the largest destination for China's NEV exports. In July, BYD's plant in Brazil rolled its 100,000th vehicle off the production line.

These developments illustrate how China's auto industry is embracing a new development pattern: strengthening domestic production cycle while promoting better interaction between domestic and international markets, with the two markets always reinforcing each other.

Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that China exported 977,300 and 7.098 million vehicles in 2013 and 2025, respectively, marking an increase of more than sixfold in 12 years. From 2021 to 2025, China's vehicle exports saw explosive growth, increasing by about 1 million units annually. And, in the first seven months of this year, China's vehicle exports reached 6.14 million units, surging 66.8 percent year-on-year.

The strong growth of NEVs has played a major role in propelling China to become the world's largest automobile exporter.

From 2020 to 2025, China's NEV exports rose from 69,000 units to 2.615 million units, an increase of more than 36-fold in five years. In June of this year, China's monthly automobile exports exceeded 1 million units for the first time, up 75.1 percent year-on-year. Of the total, NEV exports reached 523,000 units, up 160 percent year-on-year and accounting for more than 50 percent.

Racing into global markets

Chery, BYD and SAIC, among the earliest Chinese automakers to expand into overseas markets, have emerged as the frontrunners in the global push. Now, Geely, Chang'an and Great Wall Motor are accelerating globalization, expanding their overseas market footprints.

And, emerging electric vehicle makers including NIO, XPeng and Leapmotor are leveraging their strengths in smart technological innovation to make inroads into premium overseas markets.

Behind the surge in export volume is the significant leap in vehicle production quality. In terms of product mix, the vehicles exported are primarily middle to high-end car models that have been tested in China's highly competitive domestic market.

On July 16, XPeng held the global launch of its MONA L03 in Munich, Germany, with the model launched simultaneously in China and Europe. And, in terms of retail prices, they generally sell at higher prices overseas than in the domestic market. BYD's ATTO 3, known as the Yuan PLUS in China, sells at around 120,000 yuan in China, while its price in Europe exceeds 300,000 yuan.

Regarding brand reputation, Chinese NEVs have become synonymous with premium quality and high-end products in the global market. As Chinese NEVs gain ground abroad, they are helping reshape the global brand value of "Made in China."

Over these years, China's NEV expansion overseas has undergone three major shifts: from vehicle exports to the globalization of the industrial chain, and then to the globalization of the broader ecosystem. 

For example, SAIC has set up localized R&D, operations and after-sales teams overseas. "We adhere to the principle of 'global thinking, local action,' developing tailored strategies for different markets based on local regulations, road conditions and consumer preferences," a SAIC executive said.

BYD has established an extensive presence in Brazil, covering R&D, production, sales, services and supply chains. Its operations include manufacturing of electric bus and truck chassis, as well as integrated production capabilities such as lithium iron phosphate battery material processing.

In markets like Europe and the US, many multinational companies are proactively adopting and adapting Chinese technologies. Stellantis has partnered with Leapmotor on electric powertrains. In July, CATL and Octopus Energy, the UK's largest energy supplier, announced the establishment of a joint venture to introduce China's Qiji battery-swapping technology to Europe and jointly develop battery-swapping hubs there.

Overcoming challenges

Going global has never been an easy journey, as the overseas policy environment has become increasingly volatile in recent years.

In 2023, Turkey imposed an additional 40 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. In 2024, the EU imposed countervailing duties of up to 35.3 percent on Chinese EVs, while the US imposed a 100-percent tariff on China-made EVs. In 2026, Mexico imposed tariffs of up to 50 percent on passenger vehicles from countries with which it does not have free trade agreements.

"Chinese companies face different challenges in different regions. This is an inevitable stage in their global expansion, a comprehensive test as well as an opportunity to gain experience," said Luo Hao, assistant to the general manager of BYD's branding and public relations department.

Chinese automakers have managed to achieve impressive growth despite headwinds in the global market. For instance, Geely has invested in Malaysian national carmaker Proton, providing support in technology, management and supply chain resources.

The going-global of China's NEV industry has followed an inclusive approach to economic globalization, providing consumers around the world, particularly in Global South countries, with high-quality, cost-effective vehicles that suit local economic conditions, everyday needs and purchasing power.

In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, office worker Lucas used to buy second-hand cars. Now, after switching to a Chinese NEV, he finds its compact and agile design well suited to the narrow streets of the city's older neighborhoods, while its low charging costs have significantly eased his living expenses.

In South Africa, Shane, a local resident who runs a roadside assistance business and relies heavily on his vehicle, previously struggled with frequent breakdowns of his older cars. After switching to a Chinese NEV, its reliable quality and stable performance resolved his transportation problems, helping him keep his business running smoothly.

Forging ahead at full speed

At the end of 2025, China's auto industry reached some major milestones: FAW-Volkswagen rolled its 30 millionth vehicle off the assembly line, Chang'an Automobile produced its 30 millionth Chinese brand vehicle, and in 2025, China's annual auto production and sales both surpassed 31 million units.

"We need to establish spare parts centers, service centers, and call centers to build up our service system and take root in the local market," said Jia Lishan, vice president of Chang'an Automobile. And, Chang'an plans to establish more than 1,000 sales and service outlets in Europe by 2030.

In 2025, BYD overtook Tesla to become the world's largest seller of electric vehicles. On June 9 this year, BYD founder, chairman and president Wang Chuanfu reiterated at the company's shareholders' meeting his ambition to make BYD truly "No. 1 globally" in terms of scale within five years. Notably, BYD plans to set up 6,000 flash-charging stations overseas by March 2027.

As more NEVs take to roads around the world, and smarter mobility benefits more people in the world, the global expansion of China's NEVs represents not only an achievement of industrial development, but also a vivid illustration of the green low-carbon development and the concept of ecological civilization.

The new registration system, built on Joget DX Enterprise, brings farmer and land information together across all 10 districts, giving the Ministry a stronger foundation to serve farmers.

MOYENI, Lesotho, Aug. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition (MAFSN) has officially launched the Lesotho Farmers Portal, the country's first national digital platform bringing farmer and land information together in one central registry. The Honourable Selibe Mochoboroane, Minister of Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition, led the launch in partnership with Vodacom Lesotho. Field officers across all 10 districts will use the platform to register farmers and their land parcels, and to capture information about households, farming activities, livestock, assets and support services.

Aare Laponin, Founder and CEO, FiscalAdmin

Prior to the portal, farmer information was held in paper files, spreadsheets and separate district-level records that did not connect to one another. Built by FiscalAdmin Ltd on Joget DX Enterprise platform, the new system replaces that patchwork, giving the Ministry a clearer picture of the country's agricultural community.

Field officers use the portal to register farmers against their national identity number, capture household, farming, livestock and asset information, and record land parcels with GPS boundaries. Ministry staff can then search and review that data centrally, giving the government a live, national view of the farming population for the first time.

For farmers, formal registration means the Ministry can identify who they are, what they grow or raise, and what support they may need, laying the groundwork for future services such as targeted subsidies and input distribution. For the Ministry, the registry replaces incomplete and scattered records with one verified source of data to guide policy and budget decisions.

The wider platform already includes capabilities for programme applications, eligibility evaluation, decision management and entitlement issuance, which can be introduced as the programme progresses beyond this initial registration phase.

The Farmers Portal is an important step in strengthening how the ministry understands and supports farmers across Lesotho. Having reliable information in one place will help the Ministry better understand the needs of the farmers, plan agricultural programmes and improve the way services are delivered. Transitioning from development into a national service enables the platform to benefit farmers across all 10 districts.

Built for the needs of a public-sector team

The Farmers Portal was delivered by FiscalAdmin Ltd using Joget DX Enterprise, with several partners contributing to the programme. MAFSN owns the registry, the data and the process; the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) provided the programme framework and digital-government methodology; GovStack supplied the Registration Building Block specification and reference architecture; the World Food Programme supported the implementation, including the Joget DX Enterprise licence; and Vodacom Lesotho partnered on the launch and on reaching officers in the field.

The portal was built with the realities of a small public-sector ICT team in mind. Much of the application is managed through configuration rather than traditional software development, including forms, lists, workflows, user access and reference data. This means Ministry staff can maintain information such as districts, villages, crops, livestock types and document types through the system itself, without needing a developer for every change.

"We wanted to build a service that could work at a national scale and still be practical for the people using it every day. The Farmers Portal brings together a number of processes that would otherwise remain separate, while giving the Ministry greater control over its own data.

We built this as a live implementation of the GovStack Registration Building Block, so it needed to hold up under real conditions in the field, not just on paper. Joget's enterprise application platform enabled a very small team to turn a working prototype into a national service the Ministry can run and maintain on its own, and that is what made the two-year timeline possible."  said Aare Lapõnin, Founder and CEO, FiscalAdmin Ltd, Technical Delivery Partner.

The delivery approach also used what FiscalAdmin describes as LLM-assisted spec-driven development. An LLM assistant worked against a written specification rather than the live system directly, with each result pushed through the platform's own API and checked by an automated test suite before release. When something did not work, the fix went back into the specification, not into the system directly.

Raveesh Dewan, President and CEO of Joget Inc., said the project shows how technology can help public-sector organisations build practical digital services while keeping them adaptable as their needs evolve.

"What makes this project meaningful is the real-world problem it addresses. The Ministry needed a better way to understand its farmers and manage information that can support agricultural services across the country. We are proud that Joget could provide the foundation for that work.

The portal also shows how an agentic AI application platform can help a small team build and maintain a national service while leaving room to expand it as new needs emerge."  continued Raveesh Dewan, President & CEO, Joget Inc..

As registration reaches full national coverage, the Ministry expects to introduce further services building on the registry, including programme applications and input distribution, extending support to farmers across Lesotho.
