A. PRESENTATION
Ms Daphne Lim, the Group Director of Corporate Planning & Strategy, welcomed all members to the Annual General Meeting (AGM or Meeting). Mr Duane Ho Jun How (Duane Ho), the Group Chief Financial Officer (GCFO), and Mr Adrian Teo, the Director of Innovation were invited to give a presentation. Ms Daphne Lim informed the members that there would be an opportunity for members to raise questions relating to the agenda of the AGM after the presentation.
- Presentation by Mr Duane Ho, GCFO
Mr Duane Ho walked the members through the Company's journey, from 2017 to 2026. Following the restructuring exercise, the Company entered into a "bulking up" phase from 2017 to 2024, focusing on building trade routes, strengthening partnership, growing revenue, and capturing market share to enhance its competitiveness within the industry. Since 2024, the Company conducted a comprehensive review of its balance sheet, exited non-profitable segments and recognised the necessary impairments. Management acknowledged that these measures involved short-term challenges but were undertaken with a view towards achieving long-term sustainability and operational efficiency. As a result, the Company has emerged as a leaner and more focused organisation heading into 2026, with an emphasis on improving the quality of earnings.
Mr Duane Ho highlighted that, following the above exercise, the Company's strategic direction going forward is anchored on four growth engines within its Trade and Distribution segment, namely: (i) Cross-Broder E-Commerce; (ii) Online Retail Expansion; (iii) Offline Distribution; and (iv) Proprietary Brands. These four growth engines are expected to drive trade volume, which in turn will support the Logistics and Services segment, and ultimately reinforce Oceanus Digital Intelligent Network (ODIN). He further stated that ODIN serves as the bridge between the Company's Traditional Trade Finance and Modern Trade Finance. Mr Duane Ho invited Mr Adrian Teo, the Director of Innovation, to give a presentation on ODIN.

Mr Adrian Teo highlighted that the Company had been invited by “Advancements with Ted Danson”, a United States documentary series that features state-of-the-art technologies and solutions dedicated to shaping, moulding and transforming the world, to showcase how ODIN breaks down traditional borders and help shape the future of food in the world. At this juncture, he shared the video presentation of “Advancements with Ted Danson”. Mr Adrian Teo further stated that, through ODIN, S$5 million third-party liquidity had been converted into S$12.5 million trade finance transactions, representing a 2.5 times capital multiplier. Mr Adrian Teo also shared the four capability layers launched in 2025, namely (i) Origination - partnership with factoring companies in the United States bringing proven receivable portfolios; (ii) Platform - ODIN being live and validated through actual lender workflows in 2025, with increasing utilisation of artificial intelligence in loan management and credit intelligence; (iii) Capital - partnership with Clearwater Capital and stablecoin fund issuers; and (iv) Settlement – over-the-counter partnership with HashKey, which acts as the Company’s settlement layer. Mr Adrian Teo further shared that Management had recently attended Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026. Lastly, he stated that the Company is on the pathway towards Food Security Tokens.
B. OPENING AND QUORUM
There being no objection from members, Mr Edward Loy Chee Kim, the Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company, was nominated as Chairman of the AGM (Chairman) in accordance with Regulation 80 of the Company’s Constitution. As a quorum was present, Chairman declared the Meeting opened.

- Question/ Comment from Mr Ooi Koe Leong
(a) Mr Ooi Koe Leong asked how the Company reconciled the significant variance between the unaudited and audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (FY2025), in particular with regards the decrease in total assets. Mr Ooi also asked about the internal controls and enhancements to be implemented by the Company going forward.
Mr Duane Ho responded that the independent auditors and valuers had been engaged to perform a revaluation exercise in respect of the significant variances. He further stated that the Company has been eliminating assets and business segments that were not contributing to its future growth as part of its efforts to streamline and clean up the Company's balance sheet, with the aim of becoming a leaner and more focused organisation going forward. This had resulted in a decrease in total assets of the Company for FY2025.
(b) Mr Ooi Koe Leong enquired about the criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) used in determining the CEO's remuneration for the FY2025.
Mr Duane Ho explained that KPIs have been set for the CEO. The KPIs were primarily based on revenue growth and long-term sustainable profitability. He further highlighted that the Oceanus Group Limited 2023 Performance Share Plan (PSP), which was approved by shareholders at the AGM held on 27 April 2023, contained performance conditions based on cumulative three-year revenue growth and cumulative three-year EBITDA targets. As these performance conditions had not been met, no PSP shares had vested or been released to the participants as at the date of this AGM.
- Question/ Comment from Mr Ng Tze Jin
(a) Mr Ng Tze Jin enquired about the CEO's KPIs and how they could be assessed based on revenue growth and profitability when the Company was loss-making for FY2025. He further commented that, where the Company was not profitable, the variable component of the CEO's remuneration should be kept minimal.
Mr Duane Ho replied that he would provide further insights in terms of financials in relation to this question and invited the shareholder to seek further clarifications if need be. He explained that assuming the Company adjusted for non-cash, non-operational, and non-recurring items in its audited financial statements for the FY2025 following the streamlining exercise, the Company would have recorded an adjusted net profit of S$804,000. He further drew members and appointed proxies' attention to Note 26 to the financial statements of the Company for the FY2025 for details of the non-cash, non-operational, and non-recurring items.
(b) Mr Ng Tze Jin further enquired about the Company's monthly operational burn rate and the level of cash outflow required to sustain the Company's operations.
Mr Duane Ho highlighted that the cash and bank balance levels (including highly liquid deposits) for FY2025 had improved by approximately S$2 million as compared to the financial year ended 31 December 2024. He further stated that the Company has an existing S$50 million trade receivables to support its sales and trading volume. He added that the Company had deployed more cash towards inventories and increased its inventory levels by S$28 million in FY2025, resulting in significant operational cash outflows and higher borrowings. However, these were supported by verifiable trade activities and customers' demands.
- Question/ Comment from Mr Ng Teck Soon
(a) Mr Ng Teck Soon sought clarification on the criteria and KPIs used in determining the CEO's remuneration, and commented that such matters should be addressed by the Remuneration Committee of the Company.

Mr Peter Koh Heng Kang (Mr Peter Koh) stated that, while he had received remuneration as the CEO of the Company, he had in turn extended unsecured loans of more than S$10 million to the Company, as he believed that the Company was on the right track. He highlighted that the Company had transformed from a farming business to a trading business, and is now moving towards digitalising its trading operations to build trade volume, with the aim of progressing towards Food Security Tokens.
(b) Mr Ng Teck Soon commented that the share price of the Company had been declining over the past few years, and that the Company has not declared any dividend to its members. He enquired whether the Board should reconsider if the current business strategies adopted over the past five to ten years were effective. He further enquired, given that the revenue per employee for FY2025 exceeded S$2 million, why the Company continues to incur losses, and whether this was attributable to cost issues arising from managing too many business entities.
Mr Peter Koh highlighted that the Company's revenue has been successfully grown from S$1 million during the restructuring period to over S$200 million currently. He further stated that the Company had expanded its business beyond farming into logistics, distribution, and innovation-related businesses, and is now progressing toward Web-3 related initiatives.
4. Question/ Comment from Ms Hasel Soh Wan Qi
Ms Hasel Soh Wan Qi enquired whether the Company has any plans in the near term to allot and issue new shares pursuant to the proposed ordinary resolution 6 to be passed at this AGM.
Mr Duane Ho replied that the ordinary resolution 6 to be passed at this AGM was a routine mandate authorising directors to allot and issue new shares up to not more than 50% of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings, if any). He further stated that the Company has been actively exploring opportunities to raise capital through the issuance of new shares when it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, while being mindful that any such issuance would result in shares dilution. He also explained that this resolution will provide the Company with the flexibility to seize the relevant opportunities in time.
5. Question/ Comment from Mr Soh Chin Hian
(a) Mr Soh Chin Hian enquired about the performance outlook of ODIN over the next two to three years, noting that it was an exciting initiative.
Mr Adrian Teo stated that financing demand in the United States was substantial, and that 2026 would be a critical year for ODIN to build up its trade volume and establish a solid foundation with the right partners and through four capability layers launched in 2025, namely (i) Origination, (ii) Platform, (iii) Capital, and (iv) Settlement. He added that ODIN aimed to become the best bridge among trading parties on its platform, and to progress towards the development of Food Security Tokens over the next few years.
(b) Mr Soh Chin Hian sought clarification regarding his observation that Clearwater Capital Pte. Ltd. had lodged a notice of cessation with Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Mr Adrian Teo clarified that the Company was aware of the lodgement of the notice of cessation by Clearwater Capital Pte. Ltd., nevertheless, the partnership between the Company and Clearwater Capital Pte. Ltd. remained ongoing.
As there were no further questions from members, Ms Daphne Lim declared the Q&A session closed.
