Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

ADEX Investment Bank is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website, adexuz.com (the "Website"), is accessible to the widest possible audience regardless of ability, technology, or circumstances.

We believe that financial services information should be available to all individuals. As an investment bank serving clients across Central Asia and global markets, we recognize the importance of providing an inclusive digital experience that respects the diverse needs of our visitors.

2. Accessibility Standards

Our Website is designed and developed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines are internationally recognized as the standard for web accessibility and provide a comprehensive framework for making web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance means that our Website meets the following four principles:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. This includes providing text alternatives for non-text content, captions for multimedia, and adaptable content presentation.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable. This includes making all functionality available from a keyboard, providing users enough time to read and use content, and not designing content that causes seizures.
• Understandable: Information and user interface operation must be understandable. This includes making text readable and predictable, and providing input assistance to help users avoid and correct mistakes.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. This includes ensuring compatibility with current and future technologies.

3. Accessibility Features

The following accessibility features have been implemented across our Website:

Skip Navigation

A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of every page, allowing keyboard users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the primary content area.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on our Website, including navigation links, buttons, form fields, and dropdown menus, are fully accessible via keyboard. Users can navigate using the Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, and arrow keys. Focus indicators are visible and clearly distinguishable.

Screen Reader Support

Our Website is built with semantic HTML5 elements and includes comprehensive ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels, roles, and landmarks. All images have descriptive alt text, form fields have associated labels, and page structure is communicated through proper heading hierarchy. The Website is tested with leading screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.

High Contrast Mode

Our Website's color scheme is designed to maintain sufficient color contrast ratios in accordance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements. Text and interactive elements maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 against their backgrounds. Users who require higher contrast can utilize their operating system's or browser's built-in high contrast mode.

Text Resizing

Our Website supports text resizing through browser zoom and text size settings. Font sizes are specified using relative units (rem, em) to ensure text scales proportionally without loss of content or functionality. The layout is responsive and adapts to different text sizes without breaking.

Right-to-Left (RTL) Language Support

Our Website includes full RTL support for Arabic language users. When Arabic is selected, the entire page layout, including navigation, text alignment, and content flow, automatically switches to right-to-left direction, ensuring a natural and intuitive reading experience.

Language Switching

Our Website supports multiple languages including English, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Uzbek, French, and Japanese. Users can switch languages at any time using the language switcher in the header. Screen readers will correctly announce the language of content using the lang attribute, ensuring proper pronunciation and reading behavior.

Semantic HTML Structure

The Website uses proper semantic HTML5 elements including <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <article>, <aside>, and <footer> to provide meaningful structure and enable assistive technologies to effectively interpret and navigate the content.

Accessible Forms

All form fields have visible labels, appropriate input types, and ARIA attributes to ensure they are fully accessible. Error messages are clearly associated with relevant form fields, and form validation provides helpful guidance without causing frustration.

Responsive Design

Our Website is fully responsive and adapts to various screen sizes and devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. Content remains accessible and usable regardless of viewport size or orientation.

4. Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, we acknowledge that some areas of our Website may present limitations. We are actively working to address the following:

• Some third-party content, embedded widgets, or external links may not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We work with our vendors to encourage accessibility compliance.
• Certain complex financial charts, tables, or data visualizations may require additional descriptive alternatives that we are continuously improving.
• Some PDF documents, particularly legacy financial reports, may not be fully accessible. We are in the process of remediating these documents and ensuring future publications meet accessibility standards.
• Live video or audio content may not always have real-time captions or transcripts available immediately upon publication.

5. Feedback and Assistance

If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our Website, or if you have suggestions for how we can improve the accessibility of our digital experience, please let us know.
