  • Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 28 April 2026

Appendix 1

Question 1 Any update on the Blue Titanium? Given that it has not been chartered for some time, is the vessel currently undergoing upgrading and maintenance?
Company's Response The Blue Titanium was on charter in Southeast Asia for a number of years, and that charter came to an end in November 2024.
Following an extended period of continuous operation, the Company brought the liftboat back to its yard in Singapore to undertake maintenance and repair.
Since then, the Company has actively pursued charter and tender opportunities including in the Middle East. However, after careful evaluation of the commercial terms and risk-return profile of the various markets available, the Company concluded that the opportunities then on the table did not meet the Company's threshold for value and risk. The liftboat has therefore remained at the Company's yard.
The Company continues to look for charter opportunities, and is also actively exploring sale opportunities of the liftboat. When it was decided to build the liftboat, part of the underlying rationale was with a view of possible divestment, and that has not changed. The Company is pursuing both charter and sale opportunities in parallel, with the aim of securing the best commercial outcome for shareholders.
Question 2 What is the cost of keeping the liftboat idle in the yard?
Company's Response The cost of keeping the liftboat idle is commercially sensitive and depends on several factors.
As the liftboat is currently in the Company's yard, the Company is able to manage and control the costs to some extent. However, the Company still incurs operational expenses, including crew costs, repair costs, and maintenance costs.
The Company is unable to disclose the specific holding cost, as such information may affect future negotiations relating to the possible sale or charter of the liftboat.
The Company continues to manage the costs carefully and minimise them as far as possible. At the same time, the Company is using the period to carry out necessary repair and maintenance works on the liftboat.

  • Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 28 April 2026
Question 3 Given that the Company is holding a significant amount of cash, would the Board consider increasing the dividend in the coming year, as the dividend level may have an impact on the Company’s share price and a very low dividend may contribute to the share price remaining low?
Company’s Response The Board appreciates the shareholder's perspective and the comments on dividend levels.

The Company maintains a measured cash position so that it remains well-placed to act on investment opportunities as and when they arise, and to retain financial flexibility through different market conditions. This calibrated approach to capital management is itself an important means of safeguarding and creating long-term value for shareholders.

At the same time, the Board is mindful that returning value to shareholders forms an integral part of the Company's overall capital management approach. The Board is mindful that dividend payments are part of that returning value as is the need to take into account the Company's financial performance, cash requirements, investment pipeline, and prevailing business conditions. |
| Question 4 | How many shares has the Company bought back so far, and how many more shares is the Company able to buy back? |
| Company’s Response | The Company has bought back 127,200 shares to date, which are sufficient to cover the share awards issued under its employee share plans. The buyback was undertaken with that specific purpose in mind, and the Company has no intentions to buy back further shares beyond that.

Notwithstanding, with the renewed share buyback mandate just approved at this AGM, the Company retains the flexibility to undertake further buybacks should appropriate opportunities arise. Any further buybacks will be carried out in accordance with the mandate and applicable regulatory requirements. |
