LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Valuation

Qualification, industry expertise and track record of the Valuer

Mr. Haydn Lee, a director of the Valuer and the person in charge of the valuation report, is a Chartered Financial Analyst, member of CPA Australia, professional member of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, member of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy and Registered Business Valuer. He has over 17 years' experience in business and asset valuation. He oversees the business and asset valuation services of the Valuer and has provided a wide range of valuation services to listed companies and private entities in different industries in the PRC, Hong Kong and Singapore. Mr. Haydn Lee and the Valuer has plenty of practical experience in the valuation of offshore vessels including DSCVs and jack-up drilling rigs, primarily servicing the oil and gas industry, offshore wind farms and subsea construction.

The Directors have assessed the qualifications, experience and track record of the Valuer and are of the view that the Valuer has sufficient experience and the relevant professional qualifications required to perform the valuation of the Vessel.

Independence of the Valuer

As confirmed by the Valuer, and to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiry, the Valuer is independent of and not connected with the Company, the Seller, CM Shipbuilding Industry, CMHI (Jiangsu), their respective associates and the connected persons of the Company.

Valuation approach and methodology

In carrying out the valuation exercise, the cost approach, income approach and market approach have been considered by the Valuer.

The market approach compares the subject asset to similar assets, business ownership interests and securities that have been exchanged in the market and any relevant transactions of shares in the same business. Prior transactions or offers for any component of the business may be also indicative of value.

In the valuation, the value of the subject asset was developed through the application of the market approach technique known as guideline transactions. The guideline transaction method utilizes information on transactions involving assets that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value.

Unlike market and income approaches which either incorporate market sentiments or future earnings capacity of an asset as a function to determine its current value, cost approach considers the fundamental cost it takes to form the asset. It was in the Valuer's opinion that this approach is inapplicable to the analysis as there is no convincing association of the value of the subject asset with its cost.

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The income approach was not preferred in the valuation exercise because there were relevant market comparables to the subject asset and reliable projection of the amounts and timing of future income streams is not available for the subject asset as at 30 April 2026 (i.e. the valuation date).

The Valuer advised that the market approach and the guideline transaction method used in the valuation of the Vessel is one of the commonly adopted approaches for appraisal of marine assets. Having considered the Valuer's advice and the Valuer's analysis on the reliability of other valuation methodologies and approaches set out above, the Board considers the methodologies and bases adopted by the Valuer for the valuation are commonly used and reasonable in establishing the appraised value of the Vessel.

Apart from the valuation conducted by the Valuer, as part of the Group's market research, the Company has also made reference to a valuation certificate prepared by a leading and reputable international shipbroker. The appraised value of the Vessel of USD111,000,000 based on the valuation report prepared by the Valuer and the Purchase Price of USD110,000,000 both fall within the range of indicative market value of the Vessel (i.e. USD100 million to USD120 million) shown in the aforesaid valuation certificate.

Key inputs

Comparable Transactions

Since the subject asset is a DSCV, with a view to selecting appropriate comparable transactions, the Valuer focused on those recent transactions and asking prices of DSCV.

Selection criteria of comparable transactions are listed as follows:

  1. Transactions and asking prices of DSCV; and
  2. The transaction dates or listing dates within 1 year from 30 April 2026 (i.e. the valuation date).

As advised by the Valuer, transactions of DSCVs are infrequent and information on comparable transactions of the Vessel are limited. Therefore, the Valuer has also considered the prices of DSCVs that are recently listed or offered for sale (within one (1) year). The adjusted prices of comparables are within a narrow range (US$110.74 million to US$111.50 million), which is considered to be an indication that the selected comparables are appropriate and sufficiently representative. In view of the Valuer's advice and the circumstances (e.g. the relevant sampling conditions and deviations amongst the comparable transactions), the Board considers the comparable transactions adopted by the Valuer for the valuation to be appropriate and sufficiently representative.

2. The listing date of Van Gogh is 6 April 2026.

Adjustments

  1. Specification adjustment, commissioning adjustment, age adjustment and asking price adjustment have been applied to the transaction or asking prices of comparable transactions.
  2. According to the management, the construction cost of twin-bell system is approximately US$5 million higher than that of single-bell system.
  3. According to the management, keeping other factors constant, the higher the gross tonnage, the more expensive of the construction cost of a DSCV.
  4. According to the management, the commissioning cost of a typical DSCV is approximately US$8 million to US$10 million. For conservative purpose, the lower end US$8 million commissioning cost is assumed for DSCV Andy Warhol.
  5. According to the management, the useful life of a DSCV is 25 years.
  6. According to the management, asking price adjustment is around -1% to -2%. For conservative purpose, the asking price adjustment is assumed to be -5%.

Assumptions

  • there will be no major changes in the current taxation laws;
  • there will be no material fluctuation of the finance costs and availability of finance;
  • the Vessel will fulfil all legal and regulatory requirements for the principal business;
  • the development of the subject asset will not be constrained by the availability of finance and there will be no material fluctuation of the finance costs;
  • there will not be any adverse events beyond the control of the management of the Vessel, including natural disasters, catastrophes, fire, explosion, flooding, acts of terrorism and terrorism, pandemics and epidemics that may adversely affect the operation of the subject asset;
  • the future movement of exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from prevailing market rates; and
  • the Vessel will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff for its operation.

The Valuer has confirmed that the key assumptions adopted in the valuation are those commonly adopted in similar valuation exercises in the market. The Board therefore considers the assumptions adopted by the Valuer for the valuation are fair and reasonable.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE TRANSACTIONS

Memorandum of Agreement

The Group is principally engaged in developing clean energy and marine fuels businesses, including deep-sea resource development and vessels chartering.

The Company considers that the Acquisition aligns with the Group’s strategic layout and strengthens its core business competitiveness.

The Vessel is presently on bareboat charter from the Seller to the Group under the Existing Bareboat Charter, and has been time-chartered by the Group to an independent third party under the Time Charter. While the Group intends to develop its marine asset management business, the control over the Vessel (including decisions of acquisition and disposal and operational schedule) lies in the owner, leading to limitations to the Group in carrying out its initiatives and business plans. Following the Acquisition, the Group will own the Vessel and gain full autonomy and control in the operations, chartering and disposal of the Vessel, which will give the Group full operational flexibility.

The Acquisition will help create a portfolio of owned and leased marine assets, which will enable the Group to on one hand accumulate assets and enhance value in the long run and on the other hand retain flexibility through leased marine assets. This asset allocation would allow the Group to adapt to market demands and optimize its asset structure, which will effectively strengthen the Group’s core competitiveness and lay a solid foundation for its long-term development.

The Group considers the Vessel to be a quality asset that would match the operational needs of the Group. The Vessel was built in 2017 and having passed the initial commissioning and warranty phases. The Vessel possesses complete classification, certifications and oil company approvals, has a clear operational and maintenance record, and has experience operating across regions in the world. Furthermore, the Vessel is currently on bareboat charter to the Group. The fact that the Vessel has been possessed and operated by the Group would eliminate the need for complex commissioning and sea trials, which effectively mitigates the risks associated with new vessel delivery and commissioning. The Acquisition would also reduce transaction costs and operational risks, given that the Group will be able to put the Vessel directly into operation based on a developed business model, thereby providing a stable source of income for the Group.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Moreover, compared to other DSCVs, the Vessel can operate more efficiently in deeper waters. It has already been in stable operation in the market for many years, gaining full recognition from well-known oil companies and oilfield service providers. This gives the Vessel a competitive advantage in securing long-term charters in the market. Through the Acquisition and the deployment of the Vessel in the core subsea engineering markets, the Group will develop its core businesses such as vessel chartering and subsea engineering services, improve its overseas business layout, and expand its market presence in the global marine engineering industry.

: The Facility is secured by a charge over deposits (with balance equivalent to three (3) months’ principal and interest payments) to be executed by the borrower.

Financial covenants
: (a) CM Shipbuilding Industry shall undertake to maintain that the consolidated tangible net worth (including minority interests) shall not be less than RMB3,000,000,000.
: (b) CM Shipbuilding Industry shall undertake to maintain the ratio of consolidated net borrowings to consolidated tangible net worth (including minority interests) shall not be greater than 3:1.
: (c) The borrower shall undertake to maintain that consolidated tangible net worth (including minority interests) shall not less than USD150,000,000.
: (d) The borrower shall undertake to maintain that the ratio of consolidated net borrowings to consolidated tangible net worth (including minority interests) shall not exceed 1.0:1.

Key undertakings
: (a) The borrower shall procure that its Shares shall remain listed and not be suspended from trading on the Stock Exchange for a period of 15 consecutive trading days or more due to non-compliance with the Listing Rules or breach of any undertaking given to the Stock Exchange, save and except with prior written consent of the bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld).
: (b) The borrower undertakes not to create any security over the Vessel, and not to seek or obtain any lien or borrowing based on the Vessel’s asset value; and shall ensure that no share mortgage is created over the issued and paid-up capital of the holding company of the Vessel.

  • 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(c) Throughout the entire period of the Facility, the borrower shall undertake that: (i) the borrower shall procure that CM Shipbuilding Industry (and persons under the control of CM Group acting in concert with it) shall remain as the single largest shareholder (directly and indirectly) and maintain management control of the borrower; and (ii) the borrower shall procure that CM Shipbuilding Industry will remain at least 51% beneficially owned by (directly and indirectly) and under the management control of CM Group.

(d) Other customary undertakings in term loan facilities, including but not limited to information undertakings, notification requirements of material changes or events, and compliance with laws etc.

For the avoidance of doubt, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Facility (based on the terms and conditions set out above) has not been entered into by the Company.

With reference to the historical gross profits attributable to the Vessel of approximately USD6.2 million for both of the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025, and taking into account the stable market trend in respect of DSCVs, the gross profit from the Vessel after the Acquisition is estimated to be sufficient to cover the highest annual interest expenses (the first year) of appropriately USD4.1 million expected to be incurred during the term of the Facility. The Group is currently in discussion with the charterer for a renewal of the Time Charter (which will expire on 30 July 2026). In view of the relatively optimistic market condition and trend, the Group considers that there is no material impediment to the renewal of the Time Charter or the entering into of a new time charter at a similar rate of charter fees.

Based on the total amount of the Facility of USD100 million, the term and repayment schedule (including an estimated interest rate of 4.32% per annum) set out above, it is estimated that the annual payout (principal plus interest) under the Facility is approximately USD14 million, while the estimated revenue during the term of the Facility is estimated to be more than USD22 million.

In addition, based on market data published by reputable international shipbrokers, there has been a growth in the demand and market charter fee for DSCVs since 2020, with charter fee level reaching or approaching a historical peak in 2025. The increasing market demand for underwater maintenance and repair of aged oilfields worldwide and offshore wind power and submarine cable engineering and the shortage of DSCVs in good conditions have resulted in a general reduction in operating capacity of DSCVs and an increasing trend in market charter fees.

Taking into account of the historical financial results of the Vessel (in particular, the gross profit attributable to the Vessel for the year ended 31 December 2025) and the estimated financial cost (including the expected highest annual interest expense and annual payout under the Facility), as well as the market trend of DSCVs, the Board considers that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Cost-benefit analysis in deciding to acquire or continue charter the Vessel

The Board has considered, amongst others, the following factors in deciding to proceed with the Acquisition instead of a continuation of the charter of the Vessel:

(a) It is estimated that the indicative daily finance cost under the Facility will be approximately USD44,000/day, while the current charter hire under the Existing Bareboat Charter is USD48,000/day. Therefore, there is expected to be a net increment of approximately USD4,000/day if the Group elects to pursue the Acquisition instead of a continuation of the Existing Bareboat Charter (assuming it can be renewed after expiry).

(b) The charter period under the Existing Bareboat Charter will expire on 31 July 2026. As the Group has no renewal right, there is no guarantee that the Existing Bareboat Charter will be renewed at terms acceptable to the Group (taking into account especially the increasing market charter fees) or at all. It is possible that the Group may lose access to the Vessel after 31 July 2026 when the Existing Bareboat Charter expires, thereby losing a stable income stream in relation to the Vessel which enjoys a relatively optimistic market position.

(c) The Vessel, built in 2017, still has an estimated remaining useful economic life of approximately 15 years, which supports a relatively long-term income generation.

(d) The Group will retain the full residual value of the Vessel, estimated at USD110 million at acquisition, which will benefit the Group in the long run as compared to a continuation of the charter model where charter fees will be outgoing expenses with no accumulation of asset value.

Set forth below is an illustrative comparison of the daily profit and loss attributable to the Vessel before and after the Acquisition:

Before Closing of the Acquisition (USD per day) After Closing of the Acquisition (USD per day)
Time charter income from chartering out the Vessel to customer(s) 83,000 83,000
Less: Charter fees under bareboat charter (48,000) -
Less: Estimated repayment amount under the Facility - (44,000)
Less: Operating/labour costs etc. —Same—
Daily margin 35,000 39,000

Based on the above, there will be a net improvement in the indicative daily margin of approximately USD4,000, primarily due to the difference between a smaller estimated daily repayment amount as compared to the estimated charter fees if the Group continues to charter the Vessel under a bareboat charter.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Acquisition is consistent with and integral to the Group’s long-term marine asset management strategy. Specifically, it is the Group’s strategy is to build a portfolio of self-owned marine assets, transitioning from a charter-based operator to an asset owner-operator model. Ownership of vessels such as the Vessel provides the Group with stable, long-term (with a remaining economic useful life of approximately 15 years) income streams and enhances the Group’s ability to offer integrated marine asset management services to third-party customers. Moreover, ownership model would enable the Group to accumulate asset value with a sustainable business model leveraging affordable debt financings and the income stream of quality assets, thereby enhancing shareholders’ value.

The Group will continue to evaluate future acquisition opportunities under its self-owned marine asset management model on a case-by-case basis, subject to market conditions and funding availability. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had no immediate or concrete plan to further acquire self-owned and self-operated marine assets.

JV Agreements

The Company considers that the establishment of the Joint Venture would allow the JV Partners to fully leverage synergistic advantages and therefore create long-term and stable value for all parties involved.

Located in the heart of Southeast Asia, Malaysia serves as a crucial bridge to the ASEAN, Middle East, and Australia/New Zealand markets. Its stable political environment and the Government’s encouragement of oil and gas and petrochemical industries, coupled with the East Coast Economic Zone’s policy support for oil and gas projects, make Malaysia an ideal location to carry out the Relevant Project. Oceanstar Engineering Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“OSE Malaysia”) has won the bid for the Relevant Project in 2025 for the provision of Lease, Operate, and Maintain of FPSO (including provision of an appropriate vessel) for the Sepat Integrated Redevelopment Project awarded by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. (“Petronas”) in Malaysia. The Sepat oil field is located in the offshore waters of Malaysia and is developed and wholly owned by Petronas, a key state-owned oil company in Malaysia and a company consistently listed in the Fortune Global 500. The Relevant Project primarily involves the replacement of the existing equipment with a new FPSO in the Sepat oil field. The JV Partners intend to jointly participate in the Relevant Project by the establishment of the Joint Venture for the supply of the Vessel to OSE Malaysia. As part of the arrangement and for the purpose of the Relevant Project, the Joint Venture is expected to enter into a shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu), in relation to which CMHI (Jiangsu) will provide EPC service for FPSO to the Joint Venture.

  • 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

OSE Malaysia, an affiliate of OSE, has been awarded a contract (the “Award”) by Petronas in respect of the Relevant Project in 2025, pursuant to which OSE Malaysia is to provide lease, operate and maintain (O&M) of FPSO, which will serve as the core facilities for offshore oil and gas extraction, production, storage and export in the Sepat oilfield located in the offshore waters around 130 kilometres away south of Malaysia. Under the Award, the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the FPSO are to be completed within 30 months from November 2025, after which the OSE Malaysia shall provide bareboat charter and operation and maintenance (O&M) in respect of the FPSO to Petronas for a period of 15 years.

In order to perform the obligations under the Award, OSE Malaysia will be required to complete the procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the FPSO within 30 months from November 2025. It was agreed that the JV Partners would establish the Joint Venture as the dedicated asset holding company for the purpose of procuring and holding the FPSO. Upon delivery of the FPSO to the Joint Venture, OSE Malaysia will charter such FPSO from the Joint Venture (for an indicative term of 15 years at the average daily charter rate of approximately USD127,000). Petronas will then sub-charter the FPSO from OSE Malaysia (together with operate and maintain (O&M) of the FPSO) as per the Award.

The Joint Venture (as buyer) has entered into the shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu) (as seller) for the construction of a FPSO (to be chartered by OSE Malaysia). Particulars of the shipyard EPC contract are set out as follows:

Date : 28 April 2026

Parties : Seller: CMHI (Jiangsu)

Buyer: the Joint Venture

Description : The Seller shall construct, equip and complete a FPSO in accordance with the specifications specified in the shipyard EPC contract.

Contract price : USD257,145,713

Sailaway date : 21 April 2028

Payment : (i) An aggregate of 35% of the contract price payable upon various milestones;

(ii) 5% of the contract price payable upon ready for saillaway; and

(iii) 60% payable upon issue of performance acceptance certificate.

The Relevant Project and the shipyard EPC contract are not inter-conditional.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

OSE provides one-stop engineering design and innovative EPCIC (design, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning) solutions for the marine energy sector, and has successfully completed various marine engineering projects. OSE possesses full qualifications in Malaysia and has mature capabilities in FPSO project design, operation, and business development. The establishment of the Joint Venture with a partner with extensive local experience will be beneficial to the success of the Relevant Project in Malaysia. Taking into account OSE's expertise and experience, it is expected that the parties will exert their respective advantages and contribute to the successful development of the Joint Venture and the Relevant Project.

The Company considers that the Joint Venture represents an excellent investment opportunity to the Group, through which the Group will be able to hold an investment interest in the Joint Venture and indirectly enjoy the estimated earnings of the Relevant Project. The costs and funding needs (other than those satisfied by external financing to be obtained by the Joint Venture) of the Joint Venture (i.e. the Total Equity Contribution) could be shared between the Group and the other JV Partners in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Joint Venture. The Directors consider that the formation of the Joint Venture would enable the Group to participate in a sizeable project and grow its footprint in Malaysia and the ASEAN with limited capital commitment obligations and exposure, which will enable the Group to maintain a healthy risk management and cashflow position and will be beneficial to the Group's financial performance in the long run.

Moreover, the Group's participation in the Relevant Project will also create wider synergistic effect. The Company has entered into a master supply and purchase agreement with CM Shipbuilding Industry on 14 November 2025 in relation to the sale of equipment used on various offshore platforms and vessels to CM Shipbuilding Industry and its subsidiaries (including CMHI (Jiangsu)). It is expected that the Group will sell its high-end offshore engineering equipment, including E-House, Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) and deck cranes, to CMHI (Jiangsu) for the construction of the FPSO under the shipyard EPC contract, thereby addressing the technology bottlenecks in key equipment and system integration in the field of offshore oil and gas development. By participating in the process of construction of FPSO for the Relevant Project, the Group would be able to embed its proprietary products into the offshore engineering construction system of CMHI (Jiangsu), which will help expand the Group's presence in the Southeast-Asian FPSO market. This is consistent with the Group's strategy to continuously increase its international market share and brand influence. The orders for sale of equipment to CMHI (Jiangsu) would expand the source of income and improve the cash flow position of the Group, which would in turn enhance the operating results of the Company. The income from sale of products can also be used to fund the equity contribution of the Group in the Joint Venture. It is therefore the Company's view that the cooperations relating to the Relevant Project (including the participation in the Joint Venture and the equity contribution thereto) is in line with the Group's long-term strategy and is beneficial to the Group in the long run.

The terms of the shipyard EPC contract (including the contract price) were determined after arm's length negotiation between the Joint Venture (led by OSE, being the key operator of the Relevant Project) and CMHI (Jiangsu) with reference to, amongst others, (i) market data sourced from a leading and internationally reputable shipbroker in respect of contract prices for the construction of FPSOs in the market; and (ii) the relevant offshore and marine experience, technical capabilities, available yard capacity and ability to meet the requirements and schedule of the Relevant Project of CMHI (Jiangsu).

The Company notes that the per barrel contract price (i.e. contract price/barrel of oil per day) under the shipyard EPC contract is lower than the per barrel contract prices (i.e. contract price/barrel of oil per day) in the market transactions sourced by the Joint Venture.

  • 27 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CMHI (Jiangsu) has also provided favourable payment terms to the Joint Venture. Under the shipyard EPC contract, only 40% of the total contract price is required to be paid prior to the FPSO's sailway, with the remaining 60% payable upon successful installation of the FPSO at the designated offshore location and formal acceptance by Petronas under the Relevant Project. The payment terms represent a materially advantageous arrangement when compared to prevailing industry practice, where shipyards typically require substantial payment to be settled before the vessel sails away from the shipyard. The deferral of payment of 60% of the contract price to a post-acceptance milestone, (i) significantly reduces the Joint Venture's upfront capital outlay and near-term funding requirements; and (ii) preserves liquidity and provides greater financial flexibility during the construction period.

Based on the above, the Company considers that the terms of the shipyard EPC contract are on normal commercial terms and are no less favourable to the Joint Venture than those offered by independent third parties, and the transaction contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable.

In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the letter from Independent Board Committee in this circular) consider that although the Memorandum of Agreement and the JV Agreements are not entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement and the JV Agreements are on normal commercial terms, and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Dear Sir/Madam,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

FORMATION OF JOINT VENTURE
MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION
PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF VESSEL

I. INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders with regard to the discloseable and connected transaction and the major and connected transaction in relation to the formation of Joint Venture and the acquisition of vessel and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the "Letter from the Board") contained in the circular of the Company (the "Circular") to the Shareholders dated 12 June 2026, of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 12 May 2026. On 30 March 2026 (after trading hours), TSC Offshore (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Joint Venture Agreement with the other JV Partners, pursuant to which the JV Partners have agreed to establish the Joint Venture for the purpose of participating in the Relevant Project through the entering into of a shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu). On 12 May 2026 (after trading hours), TSC Offshore (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and OSE entered into the Funding Investment Agreement, pursuant to which, amongst others, TSC Offshore has agreed to make proportionate equity contribution to the Joint Venture in the amount of USD15,908,175 (inclusive of the Initial Capital Contribution).

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Reference is also made to the announcement of the Company dated 12 May 2026. On 12 May 2026 (after trading hours), the Company, as Buyer, entered into the Memorandum of Agreement with the Seller for the acquisition of the Vessel, a diving support construction vessel, at the Purchase Price of USD110,000,000. The Vessel is presently on bareboat charter from the Seller to TSC Offshore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under the Existing Bareboat Charter. TSC Offshore has time-chartered the Vessel to an independent third party under the Time Charter, which shall continue in force notwithstanding the Memorandum of Agreement.

II. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CMHI (Jiangsu) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CM Shipbuilding Industry, a controlling shareholder of the Company. Hence, CMHI (Jiangsu) is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. In view that the sole purpose of the Joint Venture is to carry out the Relevant Project through the entering into of a shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu), the JV Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are treated as a connected transaction of the Company.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the JV Agreements and transactions contemplated thereunder (on an aggregate basis) exceed 5% but are all less than 25%, the JV Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a discloseable and connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, the Joint Venture Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (on a standalone basis) were fully exempt as all the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) were less than 5% and the total commitment of the Group was less than HK$3,000,000.

As Mr. Mei Zhonghua, Mr. Liu Jiancheng and Mr. Tam Wing Tim hold positions in CM Shipbuilding Industry and/or its subsidiaries, each of them is deemed to be materially interested in, and has abstained from voting on the Board resolutions in relation to the JV Agreements and transaction contemplated thereunder.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Seller is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CM Shipbuilding Industry, a controlling shareholder of the Company. Hence, the Seller is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Memorandum of Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder exceed 25% but are all less than 100%, the Memorandum of Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a major and connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules.

As Mr. Mei Zhonghua, Mr. Liu Jiancheng and Mr. Tam Wing Tim hold positions in CM Shipbuilding Industry and/or its subsidiaries, each of them is deemed to be materially interested in, and has abstained from voting on the Board resolutions in relation to, the Memorandum of Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

IV. OUR INDEPENDENCE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were independent from and not connected with the Company, CM Shipbuilding Industry, the JV Partners, the Seller and their respective shareholders, directors or chief executives, or any of their respective associates and accordingly, are qualified to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders regarding the JV Agreements, the Memorandum of Agreement and transactions contemplated thereunder.

The decrease in revenue was mainly driven by the decrease in revenue recognised in the smart electronic control and marine services segment.

The total revenue for FY2025 comprised revenue recognised in: (i) hydrogen-based energy of approximately USD0.5 million, representing an increase of approximately 34.9% as compared to approximately USD0.4 million for FY2024, due to increase in sales of green energy equipment; (ii) shipbuilding and offshore equipment support of approximately USD59.4 million, recording an increase of approximately 44.9% from approximately USD41.0 million for FY2024, primarily attributable to the growth in rigid sail deliveries in 2025; (iii) smart electronic control of approximately USD12.3 million, recording a decrease of approximately 62.3% from approximately USD32.7 million for FY2024, mainly due to the decrease in orders for electronic control-related equipment; and (iv) marine services segment of approximately USD63.1 million which recorded a decrease of approximately 31.9% as compared to approximately USD92.7 million for FY2024, mainly in connection with the decline in delivered orders in the Mexican market.

The profit for the year decreased by approximately USD7.4 million or 80.7% from approximately USD9.2 million for FY2024 to approximately USD1.8 million for FY2025. Such decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenue as discussed above.

For the six months ended 30 June 2024 (the "6M2024") compared to the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "6M2025")

As set out in the 2025 Interim Report, the revenue of the Group decreased by approximately USD15.0 million or 19.3% from approximately USD77.6 million for 6M2024 to approximately USD62.6 million for 6M2025. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the reduction in delivery order volume.

The total revenue for 6M2025 comprised: (i) revenue from the equipment manufacturing and packages segment of approximately USD28.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately 25.4% from approximately USD38.2 million for 6M2024, which was mainly due to decrease in completed and delivered projects; (ii) revenue from the supply chain and integration services of approximately USD10.3 million, recording a decrease of approximately 28.8% from approximately USD14.5 million for 6M2024 and was mainly due to a year-on-year decrease in completed orders in the Mexico market; and (iii) asset management and engineering services segment of approximately USD23.7 million, which was broadly in line with 6M2024 of approximately USD24.8 million.

The profit for the period decreased by approximately USD2.0 million or 41.9% from approximately USD4.8 million for 6M2024 to approximately USD2.8 million for 6M2025, such was mainly due to the aforesaid overall decrease in revenue.

As extracted and summarized from the Letter from the Board, Malaysia’s strategic location, stable political environment, and government support for oil and gas projects make it an ideal base for the Sepat Integrated Redevelopment Project, where OSE secured a bid in late 2025 to provide and operate a new FPSO for Petronas. To execute the project, OSE and its partners will form a Joint Venture, which will enter into an EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu), leveraging OSE’s proven EPCIC expertise and full qualifications in Malaysia. The Joint Venture offers the Group a sizeable investment opportunity with limited capital exposure, while also creating synergies through the Group’s existing master supply agreement with CM Shipbuilding Industry. By supplying proprietary offshore engineering equipment such as E-House, ICSS, and deck cranes for FPSO construction, the Group will strengthen its presence in the Southeast Asian FPSO market, expand income sources, and enhance cash flow. Overall, participation in the Joint Venture aligns with the Group’s long-term strategy to grow its international footprint, embed its technology in regional projects, and improve financial performance.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Group considers the formation of the Joint Venture for the Sepat Integrated Redevelopment Project to be a strategic opportunity to expand its footprint in Malaysia and the ASEAN region. OSE, with its extensive EPCIC expertise and full qualifications in Malaysia, will lead the Joint Venture alongside partners with strong local experience. The capital contribution commitments of the JV Partners amount to RM5,925,000 in aggregate, with OSE holding 29% of the shareholding. The Joint Venture will be managed by a board of directors, with OSE entitled to appoint four directors and TSC Offshore entitled to appoint one director, ensuring OSE’s leadership role in setting objectives, monitoring financial performance, and approving annual targets. This governance structure is expected to provide stability and effective oversight for the execution of the Relevant Project.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In light of the sizable investment required for the FPSO replacement project, the Joint Venture arrangement allows the Group to share capital commitments with its partners while leveraging OSE's proven track record in marine engineering and FPSO operations. Funding requirements will primarily be met through external financing, with no obligation on JV Partners to provide shareholder loans or guarantees unless agreed in writing. Dividend distributions will be made in accordance with Malaysian company law, with immediate distribution of legally available funds subject to working capital needs, and any retention requiring approval from OSE and TSC Offshore. These arrangements ensure prudent financial management and healthy cash flow, while enabling the Group to participate in a sizeable project with limited capital exposure.

Taking into consideration the Group's existing master supply and purchase agreement with CM Shipbuilding Industry, the Joint Venture also creates synergistic benefits by embedding the Group's proprietary offshore engineering equipment, such as E-House, ICSS, and deck cranes into the FPSO construction system of CMHI (Jiangsu). This not only expands the Group's income sources and strengthens its cash flow position, but also enhances its presence in the Southeast Asian FPSO market. With conventional transfer restrictions in place, including rights of first refusal, tag-along, and drag-along provisions, as well as a 36-month lock-up period, the Joint Venture structure provides both stability and flexibility. Based on the above, we concur with the view of the Directors that the formation of the Joint Venture is consistent with the Group's long-term strategy, will generate synergies, and is in the interest of the Group as a whole.

Our review on the major terms of the Joint Venture Agreement and the Funding Investment Agreement

(i) Equity contribution to the Joint Venture

Pursuant to the Funding Investment Agreement entered into between OSE and TSC Offshore, the parties agreed to make equity contributions to the Joint Venture in the total amount of USD79,540,874. TSC Offshore shall contribute USD15,908,175, representing its 20% proportionate share of the Total Equity Contribution, while OSE shall be responsible for funding the remaining 80% (USD63,632,699), either directly in respect of its 29% shareholding or indirectly by way of shareholder loans to the other Malaysian partners holding an aggregate of 51% shareholding. The equity contribution of TSC Offshore was determined after arm's length negotiation with reference to the funding needs and construction schedule of the Relevant Project. The Initial Capital Contribution already paid under the Joint Venture Agreement will be set off against this commitment. We are of the view that the terms relating to equity contribution are fair, reasonable, and consistent with normal commercial practice. In assessing whether the basis for determining the Total Equity Contribution of approximately US$79.5 million is fair and reasonable, we have obtained and reviewed a cost breakdown provided by the Company in relation to the Relevant Project, with detailed timeline on the relevant cost contribution to the project. We have also identified and obtained market data sourced from a leading and internationally reputable shipbroker in respect of contract prices for the construction of FPSOs in the market. We noted that the per barrel contract price (i.e. contract price / barrel of oil per day) under the shipyard EPC contract is lower than the per barrel contract prices (i.e. contract price / barrel of oil per day) in the market transactions sourced by the Joint Venture. It is noted that the


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

work scope, complexities, deliverables and/or project scales may vary from contract to contract, thus no contracts are entirely identical. Nonetheless, given the nature of the engineering, consulting and technical services provided by the Group under such segment, we considered that our analysis as set out above to be a useful reference to assess the fairness and reasonableness for determining the Total Equity Contribution. In addition, we have carried out independent verification of the information supplied in the market data and conducted our own independent calculation on the per barrel contract price, which shows that the range is from approximately US$12,000 to approximately US$18,000, while the per barrel contract price under the shipyard EPC contract is approximately US$8,600, lower than the per barrel contract prices (i.e. contract price/barrel of oil per day) in the market transactions sourced by the Joint Venture. These independent works performed further support our view that the Total Equity Contribution is fair and reasonable.

(ii) Terms of the shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu)

Major terms of the shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu) are extracted from the Letter from the Board and listed as follows, for further details please refer to the section headed "JV Agreements" in the Letter from the Board:

Date : 28 April 2026

Parties : Seller: CMHI (Jiangsu)

Buyer: the Joint Venture

Description : The Seller shall construct, equip and complete a FPSO in accordance with the specifications specified in the shipyard EPC contract.

Contract price : USD257,145,713

Sailaway date : 21 April 2028

Payment : (i) An aggregate of 35% of the contract price payable upon various milestones;

(ii) 5% of the contract price payable upon ready for saillaway; and

(iii) 60% payable upon issue of performance acceptance certificate.


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The shipyard EPC contract with CMHI (Jiangsu) provides for the construction of the FPSO for the Relevant Project, under which the Group will supply its proprietary offshore engineering equipment, including E-House, Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) and deck cranes, to be embedded into CMHI (Jiangsu)'s offshore engineering construction system. Such integration is expected to resolve technology bottlenecks in equipment and system integration for offshore oil and gas development, while simultaneously expanding the Group's presence in the Southeast Asian FPSO market. The orders under the EPC contract will broaden the Group's income sources and strengthen its cash flow, with proceeds from product sales available to fund the Group's equity contribution in the Joint Venture. Accordingly, the EPC contract is consistent with the Group's long-term strategy of increasing international market share and brand influence, and is considered beneficial to the Group in the long run.

(iii) Conditions and shareholder approval

The Funding Investment Agreement is conditional upon the approval of the Shareholders at a duly convened general meeting of the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Company's constitution. TSC Offshore shall use reasonable endeavours to procure such approval as soon as practicable. If approval is not obtained within the agreed timeframe, either party may terminate the agreement without further liability, save for any antecedent breach. This condition provides appropriate safeguards to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and protects the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. We are of the view that such conditionality is prudent and in line with market practice for transactions of this nature.

(iv) Funding schedule and payment obligations

The specific funding timeline and schedule will be agreed in writing between the parties, taking into account the capital expenditure requirements and construction milestones of the Relevant Project, as well as TSC Offshore's internal approval processes, cash flow, and treasury management. OSE shall procure that the Malaysian partners comply with their funding obligations on the same timetable as applicable to TSC Offshore. The Group expects to fund its equity contribution by internal resources, thereby avoiding reliance on external shareholder loans or guarantees. Given that the funding obligations are proportionate to the respective shareholdings and subject to clear payment schedules, we are of the view that the terms relating to future funding are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

(v) Future funding

The working capital requirements of the Joint Venture in relation to the Sepat Integrated Redevelopment Project are expected to be financed primarily through external borrowings from banks and other financial institutions on the most favourable terms reasonably obtainable. The JV Partners are not obliged to provide shareholder loans or guarantees unless agreed in writing, which ensures that capital commitments remain proportionate to equity interests and protects the Group from undue financial exposure. Given that (i) the funding obligations are structured to align with the respective shareholdings of the JV Partners, and (ii) OSE shall procure that the Malaysian partners comply with their funding obligations on the same timetable as applicable to TSC Offshore, we are of the view that the terms in relation to future funding are fair and reasonable.

  • 49 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(vi) Management

The Joint Venture will be governed by a board of directors, with OSE entitled to appoint four directors and TSC Offshore entitled to appoint one director. The chairman of the board shall be one of the directors appointed by OSE, thereby ensuring OSE’s leadership role in strategic oversight. Each director shall have one vote, and resolutions require a majority vote of directors present. This composition reflects the relative equity contributions and ensures proportionate representation while safeguarding the Group’s interests. We are of the view that the management structure is fair, reasonable, and consistent with market practice for joint ventures of this nature.

(vii) Distributions and transfer restrictions

Dividend distributions by the Joint Venture will be made in accordance with Malaysian company law, subject to repayment of debts and working capital requirements. Any retention of distributable funds requires the prior written approval of OSE and TSC Offshore, ensuring that the Group retains influence over dividend policy. In addition, conventional transfer restrictions apply, including rights of first refusal, tag-along and drag-along rights, and a 36-month lock-up period, which provide stability and protect shareholder value. We are of the view that the terms of distributions and transfer restrictions are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

We have attempted to compare joint venture arrangements entered into by the Group during the last three years, however the Group had not entered into any such arrangements during the abovementioned time slot, therefore we relaxed the selection criteria to any joint venture arrangements entered into between the Group and independent third party during the last five years. We therefore identified and obtained one joint venture sample entered into by the Group with an independent third party in 2021, we noted that the business activity in such arrangement may not be identical to the Joint Venture but still can provide a useful benchmark given the Group’s limited experience in such arrangements over the past five years. The current joint venture adopts a substantially similar contractual framework, with equity contributions determined by reference to project specific cost breakdowns and allocated proportionately among partners, funding schedules aligned with construction milestones and internal approval processes, management structured to reflect relative shareholdings while safeguarding minority interests, and dividend and transfer restrictions consistent with the JV Agreement.

Based on the above, we concur with the view of the Directors that the terms of the JV Agreements are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(B) Acquisition of Vessel

Background information of the parties

Seller

The Seller is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability, which is the holding company of the Vessel and is engaged in chartering out of the Vessel. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CM Shipbuilding Industry, a controlling shareholder of the Company. CM Shipbuilding Industry is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CM Group. CM Group is a large integrated state-owned conglomerate directly administered by the Central Government of the PRC which is principally engaged in core industries such as transportation, finance, comprehensive development and operation of cities and parks and technology and innovation related businesses.

The Company (i.e. the Buyer) and the Group

The Company (i.e. the Buyer) is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liabilities. The Group focuses on developing clean energy and low-carbon marine fuels businesses, including deep-sea resource development and turnkey equipment design, manufacturing and services in relation to offshore engineering platforms, as well as vessels chartering, manufacturing of carbon reduction products for vessels and comprehensive integrated solutions.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Memorandum of Agreement

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Group's proposed Acquisition of the Vessel represents a strategic move to strengthen its clean energy and marine fuels businesses by gaining full ownership and operational control over a quality asset that has already been successfully operated under its charter. Ownership will eliminate limitations imposed by the current bareboat arrangement, providing autonomy in operations, chartering, and disposal, while reducing commissioning risks and transaction costs. The Vessel, built in 2017 with complete certifications, approvals, and a proven track record in deep-sea operations, offers competitive advantages in securing long-term charters and supports the Group's expansion in subsea engineering and global marine markets. By combining owned and leased marine assets, the Group will optimize its asset structure, enhance flexibility, and build a solid foundation for long-term development, thereby reinforcing its core competitiveness and overseas business presence.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

To understand the shipping market, we performed an analysis on the ClarkSea Index, a weighted average index of earnings for the main vessel types where the weighting is based on the number of vessels in each fleet sector created by Clarkson Research Services Limited ("Clarkson"), the research arm of Clarkson Plc (https://www.clarksons.com/). From the last five years since 2021, the ClarkSea Index has demonstrated a sustained upward trajectory, reflecting the strengthening of vessel earnings across multiple shipping segments. The Index rose from an average of approximately USD28,700/day in 2021 to levels consistently above USD30,000/day in subsequent years, peaking at nearly USD50,000/day in March 2026 before easing to approximately USD40,620/day in May 2026. This performance underscores both the resilience and volatility of the shipping market, driven by factors such as geopolitical disruptions, energy trade flows, and evolving regulatory requirements. Having considered the above, we are of the view that the prevailing market conditions, as evidenced by the ClarkSea Index, provide a favorable backdrop for the Group's marine asset strategy and support the long-term competitiveness and sustainable development of its core businesses.

Principal terms of the Memorandum of Agreement

Date

12 May 2026

Parties

(1) Seller: Well Target One O One Limited
(2) Buyer: CM Energy Tech Co., Ltd.

Vessel to be acquired

The Vessel proposed to be acquired under the Memorandum of Agreement is the diving support construction vessel "DSCV Lichtenstein", IMO 9758296, flagged in the Bahamas (Nassau), classed with DNV (1A1 DSV(SAT) DYNPOS(AUTR)), built 2017.

The Vessel is presently on bareboat charter from the Seller to TSC Offshore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under the Existing Bareboat Charter. TSC Offshore has time-chartered the Vessel to an independent third party under the Time Charter, which shall continue in force notwithstanding the Memorandum of Agreement. The legal title to the Vessel will be purchased on a documentary, "as is, where is" basis, with the Vessel remaining throughout in the possession of TSC Offshore under the Existing Bareboat Charter.


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Consideration

The Purchase Price for the Vessel is USD110,000,000.

The Purchase Price has been determined by the parties to the Memorandum of Agreement after arm's length negotiation based on (i) the appraised value of the Vessel as at 30 April 2026 of USD111,000,000 million based on a valuation report (the full text of which is set out in Appendix IV to the Circular) prepared by the Valuer using market approach, (ii) the current conditions of the Vessel, and (iii) market information (including current market values of similar type of vessels).

The Buyer shall fund the Purchase Price from drawdown under the Facility and its internal resources.

Under the Acquisition, the Purchase Price for the Vessel is USD110,000,000, payable by the Buyer to the Seller in immediately available funds at Closing. As advised by the Management, such payment arrangement (i.e. full settlement of the consideration at Closing) was determined after arm's length negotiation between the parties to the Memorandum of Agreement, taking into account (i) the appraised value of the Vessel as at 30 April 2026 of approximately USD111,000,000 based on a valuation report prepared by an independent professional valuer adopting the market approach, (ii) the current conditions of the Vessel, and (iii) prevailing market information including values of similar type of vessels. For our due diligence purpose, we have reviewed recent vessel acquisitions announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange and noted that the purchase price is generally determined with reference to independent valuation reports, prevailing market values of comparable vessels, and arm's length negotiations between buyer and seller. Accordingly, we are of the view that the determination of Purchase Price is fair and reasonable.

For our due diligence purpose, we also enquired of the Management the internal procedures of the Group in relation to the purchase of vessels for leasing and operational purposes. As advised by the Management, for such projects the business department shall prepare relevant project reports and/or supporting documents (including price justification documents) for assessment by the risk management department; and the projects shall be reviewed and approved by the Board/general manager's committee (comprising the Company's managers and chaired by the general manager). The project reports and supporting documents include analyses of vessel purchase prices, with reference to prevailing market values for similar vessels ascertained from industry reports prepared by research companies and/or recent comparable transactions announced by Clarkson ("Internal Procedures"). Having considered the above, we are satisfied that the Purchase Price and payment terms of the Acquisition are consistent with market practice and the Group's internal procedures, and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Fairness and reasonableness of the Purchase Price

The Purchase Price for the Vessel is approximately USD110,000,000, which is determined by the parties at arm's length with reference to the appraisal value of the Vessel as at 30 April 2026. The Company and the Seller have appointed Valor Appraisal & Advisory Limited (the "Valuer") to appraise the value of the Vessel. The valuation report of the Vessel is disclosed in Appendix IV of the Circular (the "Valuation Report"). In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Purchase Price, as part of our independent work performed, we have discussed with the Valuer to understand the methodologies and assumptions used by the Valuer to derive the value of the Vessel.

In order to evaluate the basis in determining the appraised value of the Vessel, we have reviewed the Valuation Report and have discussed with the Valuer and Management. We noted that the Valuer has considered the market approach in providing their opinions on appraised value of the Vessel.

In preparing their opinions on the appraised value of the Vessel, the Valuer has also relied on and adopted the following information and assumptions (some of the key information or assumptions have been extracted and listed out as below):

(i) there will be no material change in the existing political, legal, technological, fiscal or economic conditions which might adversely affect the economy in general and the operation of the subject asset;

(ii) there will be no major changes in the current taxation laws;

(iii) there will be no material fluctuation of the finance costs and availability of finance;

(iv) DSCV Lichtenstein will fulfil all legal and regulatory requirements for the principal business;

(v) the development of the subject asset will not be constrained by the availability of finance and there will be no material fluctuation of the finance costs;

(vi) there will not be any adverse events beyond the control of the management of DSCV Lichtenstein, including natural disasters, catastrophes, fire, explosion, flooding, acts of terrorism and terrorism, pandemics and epidemics that may adversely affect the operation of the subject asset;

(vii) the future movement of exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from prevailing market rates; and

(viii) DSCV Lichtenstein will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff for its operation.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have discussed with the Valuer on the background and basis of the Valuation Report. We note that the Valuer has not inspected DSCV Lichtenstein, which is currently located in the Persian Gulf, and has relied on the information provided by the Group to prepare the valuation. DSCV Lichtenstein is a specialized equipment, and no technical report, mechanical survey or test was carried out to support its function or specification. The Valuer has assumed that DSCV Lichtenstein is in good physical condition and, in the absence of mechanical testing, can perform efficiently according to its intended design and age.

The Valuer has not investigated any financial data pertaining to the present or prospective earning capacity of the operation in which DSCV Lichtenstein is used, but has assumed that prospective earnings will provide a reasonable return on its market value and that adequate net working capital will be available. The records furnished by the Group have been accepted as properly describing DSCV Lichtenstein, and the Valuer has relied to a considerable extent on such records in arriving at the opinion of value.

The Valuer has not investigated any industrial safety, environmental or health-related regulations in association with the operation using DSCV Lichtenstein, and has assumed that all necessary licenses, procedures and measures for the operations have been implemented in accordance with relevant government legislations and guidance.

In arriving at the market value of the Vessel, the Valuer has adopted market approach by making reference to comparable DSCV with the selection criteria of (i) recent transactions or asking prices of DSCV available in the market; and (ii) transaction dates or listing dates within one year from the valuation date. After obtaining the comparable transactions, the Valuer adopted market approach to assess the transaction prices with certain adjustments in order to generate the Valuation. As discussed with the Valuer and the Management, we are of the view that the adoption of such valuation methodology is reasonable.

We concur with the Valuer that the market approach represents the most appropriate methodology for valuing the subject asset, given the unique characteristics of DSCVs and the availability of relevant market transactions. The cost approach is not applicable, as there is no persuasive linkage between the asset's value and its construction cost. Likewise, the income approach is unsuitable, since reliable forecasts of future income streams were not available as at the Valuation Date. By contrast, the market approach, applied through the guideline transactions method, draws upon actual transactions involving assets that are the same as, or comparable to, the subject asset, thereby providing a sound basis for determining value.

  • 55 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have obtained and reviewed the comparable transactions and the adjustments adopted by the Valuer. Specifically, specification adjustment, commissioning adjustment, age adjustment and asking price adjustment have been applied to the transaction or asking prices of comparable transactions. According to the Management, the construction cost of a twin-bell system is approximately USD5 million higher than that of a single-bell system. Further, keeping other factors constant, the higher the gross tonnage, the more expensive the construction cost of a DSCV. The commissioning cost of a typical DSCV is approximately USD8 million to USD10 million, and for conservative purpose, the lower end USD8 million commissioning cost has been assumed for DSCV Andy Warhol. The useful life of a DSCV is considered to be 25 years. In addition, the asking price adjustment is generally around -1% to -2%, but for conservative purpose, a -5% asking price adjustment has been assumed. We are of the view that adopting such adjustments to the comparable transactions are reasonable and acceptable.

In order to further verify the source of information considered in the opinion, we have conducted our own research on the referencing information to cross check the comparable transactions. Through this process, we identified five comparable transactions based on selection criteria consistent with those adopted by the Valuer, which are also the comparable transactions relied upon by the Valuer. Accordingly, we concur with the Valuer that, based on publicly available information and the adopted selection criteria, the identified comparables are representative. We have obtained and reviewed the comparable transactions and the adjustments adopted by the Valuer. Specifically, the single-bell versus twin-bell adjustment and the commissioning adjustment were made on the basis of the Management's representation and experience. The asking price adjustment was derived from the Management's representation and supplemented by a conservative additional adjustment adopted by the Valuer. The age adjustment was calculated by reference to the vessel's useful life of 25 years, applying a straight-line methodology akin to depreciation. The gross tonnage adjustment was made on the rationale that, keeping other factors constant, a larger vessel requires more material and therefore entails higher construction costs. We are of the view that adopting such adjustments to the comparable transactions is reasonable and acceptable.

Accordingly, we are of the view that the referencing information considered in the Valuation Report is true and fair and the comparable transactions with certain adjustments adopted by the Valuer are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and Independent Shareholders are concerned.

  • 56 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Besides, we have discussed with the Valuer in relation to their experiences and understood that Mr. Haydn Lee, the Director of the Valuer and the person in charge of the fair opinion letters, is a Chartered Financial Analyst charterholder, member of CPA Australia, professional member of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, member of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy and Registered Business Valuer. He has over 17 years' experience in business and asset valuation. He oversees the business and asset valuation services of the Valuer and has provided a wide range of valuation services to listed companies and private entities in different industries in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Singapore. Given Mr. Lee and the Valuer has plenty of practical experience in the valuation of offshore vessels primarily servicing the oil and gas industry, offshore wind farms and subsea construction, we are of the view that he is qualified to provide reliable opinions in the Valuation Report. As discussed with the Valuer, they have no prior relationships with the Group or other parties and connected persons to the parties involved in the Acquisition, and we are of the view that the independence and objectivity of the Valuer is fair and equitable in providing opinion in the Valuation Report. We also reviewed the terms of the engagement for providing opinion in the Valuation Report and the scope of work performed by the Valuer is appropriate to give the opinion. Based on the above, we are not aware of any major factor which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the assumptions and methodologies adopted for the Valuation Report.

Financial impact on the Group

Based on our discussion with and the representation from the Management, we understand from the Management that they have taken into account the following factors when they considered the potential impact of the establishment of Joint Venture, the Funding Investment Agreement and the Acquisition on the financial positions of the Group.

Earnings

According to the 2025 Annual Report, the Group's net profit attributable to equity holders was approximately USD1.58 million. Since the Vessel is presently on bareboat charter from the Seller to TSC Offshore till end of July 2026, the Acquisition will eliminate limitations imposed by the current bareboat arrangement, providing autonomy in operations, secure in chartering for the forthcoming years. It is expected that the Acquisition shall have a positive effect on the revenue generating and profitability of the Group's Marine services segment. Regarding to establish of the Joint Venture, it offers the Group a sizeable investment opportunity and it is expected that FPSO construction will be completed approximately in 2.5 years. It is expected that the establishment of Joint Venture shall have a positive effect on the return of investment.

Net assets

As at 31 December 2025, the audited consolidated net assets of the Group were approximately USD183 million. It is expected that the Acquisition and establishment of Joint Venture would not have material adverse impact on the net assets of the Group upon Completion.

Cash flow

The Purchase Price of USD110 million shall be paid by the Company to the seller in cash. The Group has secured a USD100 million project bank loan to fund the purchase, and the remaining USD10 million shall be self-financed. With respect to the Joint Venture Equity Contribution, the Group shall contribute its 20% proportionate share, totaling USD15,908,175, from its internal financial resources.

APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT

1. INTRODUCTION & PURPOSE OF VALUATION

In accordance with the instruction of CM Energy Tech Co., Ltd. (“CM Energy” or the “Company”), Valor Appraisal & Advisory Limited (“Valor”) is required to provide an independent valuation report (the “Valuation Report”) to assess the market value (the “Market Value”) of a diving support construction vessel (“DSCV”) named Lichtenstein as at 30 April 2026 (the “Valuation Date”).

Relevant enquiries have been made and required information have been obtained that Valor considers to be necessary in forming an independent opinion of the Market Value of DSCV Lichtenstein, as at the Valuation Date.

This Valuation Report states valuation methodology and approach adopted in assessing the Market Value of DSCV Lichtenstein, as well as outlines Valor’s latest findings and valuation conclusion, which is prepared solely for the purpose of circular reference for CM Energy and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”).

In this Valuation Report, words in the singular number include the plural and vice versa; the words asset or assets are deemed to include liability or liabilities, except where it is expressly stated otherwise, or is clear from the context that liabilities are excluded; headings are inserted for convenient reference only and have no effect in limiting or extending the language to which they refer.

2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF DSCV LICHENSTEIN

The following background information of DSCV Lichtenstein has been complied with reference to public information and the documents received from and representation by the management of the Group (the “Management”), which are assumed to be accurate and relied upon when conducting this valuation exercise.

DSCV, as the name suggests is a vessel that is used for the objective of diving into oceans. Divers, who dive into the middle of the seas as a part of professional diving process, need proper diving support. This necessary support is provided by such a dive support vessel.

The concept of a DSCV came into existence four to five decades ago. From that time onwards, these ships have been extremely important to the field of commercial diving which forms a vital part of professional diving.

It has to be noted that professional diving means diving for the prospect of construction, repairing and maintenance of oil-rigs and other important offshore naval constructions. Such DSCVs are mainly used in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico since these are the areas from where crude oil is majorly excavated from subsea sources.

DSCV is a sub-category of offshore support vessels (“OSVs”), also known as offshore supply vessels, are specialty ships designed for operating on the ocean, serving multiple purposes. They can serve as platform support, anchor handling, construction, maintenance, and more.


APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT

OSVs provide support offshore – anything from bringing equipment to rigs to repairing offshore wind turbines. They are integral to getting supplies and materials where they need to go, as well as building and repairing offshore equipment. Their versatility means they can be built for just about any type of project. Some of the main types of OSVs are seismic survey ships, platform supply vessels (“PSVs”), anchor handling tug supply vessels, construction support vessels, DSCVs, inspection, maintenance, and repair vessels and remotely operated vehicles support vessels.

The profile of DSCV Lichtenstein is as follows:

Vessel Name Lichtenstein

3. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation was carried out on a Market Value basis. According to International Valuation Standards 2025 ("IVS 2025") issued by International Valuation Standards Council ("IVSC"), Market Value is defined as "the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".

4. BASIS OF OPINION

The valuation was conducted in accordance with IVS 2025 issued by IVSC. The valuation procedure includes review of the financial and economic conditions of the subject business interest, an assessment of key assumptions, estimates, and representations made by the Management. All matters essential to the proper understanding of the valuation are disclosed in the valuation report. Opinion of value included in the valuation report is impartial, independent and unbiased.

The following factors also form a considerable part of the basis of opinion:

  • assumptions on the market and on the subject asset that are considered to be fair and reasonable;
  • financial performance that shows a consistent trend of the operation of the subject asset;
  • consideration and analysis on the micro and macro economic factors; and
  • analytical review of the subject asset.

In the course of conducting the valuation, all the information and explanations considered necessary have been obtained so that there are sufficient evidences and reasonable basis in forming the opinion of value on the subject asset.


APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

5. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

In conducting the valuation of the subject asset, the following key information, including but not limited to those provided by the Management and derived from the public have been considered, reviewed, and relied upon:

  • Offshore Vessel Technical Comparison provided by the Management;
  • Agreement related to chartering, purchase rights and purchase obligation of DSCV Picasso dated 5 December;
  • IVS 2025 issued by IVSC;
  • Overview of the nature of the subject asset;
  • Discussion with the Management;
  • Google, Apollo Duck Media Ltd., SHIPSELECTOR.COM and other reliable sources of market data.

In arriving at the opinion of the Market Value of DSCV Lichtenstein, the accuracy and completeness of the information reviewed for the purpose of this valuation have been assumed and relied on. In addition, the statements, information, opinion and representations provided by the Group have been relied upon.

Research was conducted using various sources including government statistical releases and other publications to assess the reasonableness and fairness of information provided.

The opinion is based upon economic, market, financial and other conditions as exist and can be evaluated on the date of this report and no responsibility is assumed to update or revise the opinion based on events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report. In reaching the opinion, assumptions have been made with respect to such economic, market, financial and other conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Valor or any party involved in this valuation exercise.

6. VALUATION APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

In carrying out this valuation exercise, the following approaches and methodologies have been considered:

Cost Approach – The cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principal that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction. This approach is based on the principle that the price that a buyer in the market would pay for the asset being valued would, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved, be not more than the cost to purchase or construct an equivalent asset. Often the asset being valued will be less attractive than the alternative that could be purchased or constructed because of age or obsolescence. Where this is the case, adjustments may need to be made to the cost of the alternative asset depending on the required basis of value.


APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT

Unlike market and income approaches which either incorporate market sentiments or future earnings capacity of an asset as a function to determine its current value, cost approach considers the fundamental cost it takes to form the asset. In our opinion this approach is inapplicable to the current analysis as there is no convincing association of the value of the subject asset with its cost.

Income Approach – The income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flows to a single current capital value. This approach considers the income that an asset will generate over its useful life and indicates value through a capitalisation process. Capitalisation involves the conversion of income into a capital sum through the application of an appropriate discount rate. The income stream may be derived under a contract or contracts, or be non-contractual, for example the anticipated profit generated from either the use of or holding of the asset.

Enterprise value is typically derived through the capitalisation of profits or cash flows through the application of a capitalisation rate or discount rate before debt servicing costs. The capitalisation or discount rate applied is the weighted average cost of capital of an appropriate mix of debt and equity. The market value of the interest bearing debt is deducted from the enterprise value to determine the overall equity value. Redundant, ie non-operating, assets need to be considered when calculating enterprise or equity value.

This approach is not preferred in this exercise because there are relevant market comparables to the subject asset and reliable projection of the amounts and timing of future income streams is not available for the subject asset as at the Valuation Date.

Market Approach – The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the subject asset with identical or similar assets for which price information is available. Under this approach the first step is to consider the prices for transactions of identical or similar assets that have occurred recently in the market. If few recent transactions have occurred, it may also be appropriate to consider the prices of identical or similar assets that are listed or offered for sale provided the relevance of this information is clearly established and critically analysed. It may be necessary to adjust the price information from other transactions to reflect any differences in the terms of the actual transaction and the basis of value and any assumptions to be adopted in the valuation being undertaken. There may also be differences in the legal, economic or physical characteristics of the assets in other transactions and the asset being valued.

The market approach compares the subject asset to similar assets, business ownership interests and securities that have been exchanged in the market and any relevant transactions of shares in the same business. Prior transactions or offers for any component of the business may be also indicative of value.

In this valuation exercise, the value of the subject asset was developed through the application of the market approach technique known as guideline transactions. The guideline transaction method utilizes information on transactions involving assets that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value.

VALUATION REPORT

9. VALUATION COMMENTS AND LIMITING CONDITIONS

As part of the analysis, the information and documents provided by the Management, the financial and business information from public sources with such available financial information, client representation, project documentation and other pertinent data concerning DSCV Lichtenstein have been reviewed. The accuracy of such information have been assumed and relied on to a considerable extent in arriving at the opinion of value.

Relevant searches and enquiries have been made and such further information as considered necessary has been obtained for the purpose of this valuation exercise.

The opinion of value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Further, while the assumptions and consideration of such matters are regarded to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Group and Valor. No assurance is provided on the achievability of any financial results estimated by the Group because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected; differences between actual and expected results may be material; and achievement of the forecasted results is dependent on actions, plans and assumptions of the management.

We have not inspected DSCV Lichtenstein which is currently located in the Persian Gulf and we relied on the information provided by the Group to prepare the valuation. DSCV Lichtenstein is a specialized equipment and we have not tested, checked or obtained any technical report to support the function or the specification of DSCV Lichtenstein. No mechanical survey and test were carried out.

We have assumed that DSCV Lichtenstein is in a good physical condition. In the absence of any mechanical testing, we have assumed that DSCV Lichtenstein can perform efficiently according to the purposes for which it was designed and built and is in a physical condition commensurate with its post installation age.

We have not investigated any financial data pertaining to the present or prospective earning capacity of the operation in which DSCV Lichtenstein is used. It is assumed that prospective earnings will provide a reasonable return on the Market Value of DSCV Lichtenstein, and there will be adequate net working capital.

We have accepted the records furnished by the Group as properly describing DSCV Lichtenstein. We have relied to a very considerable extent on such records in arriving at the opinion of value.

APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT

We have not investigated any industrial safety, environmental and health related regulations in association with the operation using DSCV Lichtenstein. It is assumed that all necessary licenses, procedures and measures for the operations using the DSCV Lichtenstein have been implemented in accordance with relevant government legislations and guidance.

In the course of our investigation, we have not investigated the title or any liabilities against DSCV Lichtenstein. No consider was made for outstanding amount owed under financing agreement, if any.

In addition, the other limiting and general service conditions are attached in Appendix I.

10. RISK FACTORS

Economic, political and social considerations

Any unfavourable global and regional economic and geopolitical condition such as the trade war initiated by the United States and the Iran war may have a detrimental impact on the operation of DSCV Lichtenstein. Due to the uncertainties in economic situation, there is no guarantee that the expected financial performance will materialize. Any changes in global political, economic and social conditions, laws, regulations and policies may have significant impacts on the projections of the future income of DSCV Lichtenstein. In view of the current situation, the possibility of trade protectionism cannot be ruled out. None of these changes can be foreseen with certainty.

Technological changes

Any change in the technological developments and advancements may have significant impact on the operating and financial performance of DSCV Lichtenstein. To remain competitive in the industry, DSCV Lichtenstein may be required to make substantial capital expenditure to keep up with technological changes.

Inflation

The concurrent loosening of monetary policies by the central banks in many developed and developing countries poses a significant risk of inflation, which may erode the profitability of DSCV Lichtenstein. The escalation of tariff and trade wars initiated by the Trump administration and the recent Iran war has further exacerbated inflationary pressures, with import prices rising significantly across multiple sectors. These protectionist measures have disrupted global supply chains and increased production costs, potentially amplifying the negative effects of monetary policy on purchasing power and asset valuations.

Company specific risk

The operation of DSCV Lichtenstein may perform better or worse than the expectation, and the resulting operating and financial performance will be very different from the estimates. The possibility of severe operational incidence, whether it is exogenous or endogenous, cannot be precluded.
