The Company had addressed all substantial and relevant questions received prior to the Meeting via publication on the SGXNet on 17 April 2025 also on the Company's website at URL http://www.Sarine.com.

The Chairman also informed that the Shareholders were allowed to submit their proxy forms to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting to cast their votes on their behalf. In his capacity as the Chairman of the Meeting, he had been appointed by numerous Shareholders as proxy and had voted in accordance with their instructions.

In line with the requirements of the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited, all resolutions to be tabled at the Meeting were voted by way of poll. The Chairman further informed that, for the conduct of the poll, Central Management Services Pte Ltd. had been appointed as the Polling Agent and TS Tay Public Accounting Corporation as the Scrutineer (with Mr. Ori Limor, CPA, acting as the scrutineer for Israeli shareholders who submitted their votes directly to the Company).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Daniel Benjamin Glinert ("Mr. Glinert") and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Youval Zohar addressed questions raised by the audience with regard to the following matters:

Industry Environment

Mr. Glinert presented slide no. 2 of the attached presentation (see Annex 1), that includes an overview of the industry environment. In addition to which, Mr. Glinert noted that at this time there is no substantial market demand for LGD in Japan. Mr. Glinert emphasised that the Company's main line of business has always been, and still is, natural diamonds.

2024 Initiatives Update

Mr. Glinert presented slide no. 3 of the attached presentation that includes an overview of the Company's 2024 initiatives update. In addition to which, Mr. Glinert explained that LGD's prices are linear, unlike natural diamonds' prices (so that 7 carats' LGD diamond costs 7 times the price of one carat, while the value of natural diamonds grows exponentially as per their size). Therefore, the added value generated by Sarine's LGD planning is limited and the manufacturers' cost-benefit analysis shows little benefit. Yet, there is a broader market for even very small natural diamonds. Referring to the Group's plans for 2025, Mr. Glinert noted that there are yet no global/regional regulations re traceability, and therefore the demand for traceability-related services has remained limited. Mr. Glinert further noted that e-grading (GCAL by Sarine) is progressing in NY and India. He added that the Company recruited the former president of IGI US to promote demand for LGD grading and for GCAL services.

Lastly, Mr. Glinert gave a brief update of a potential deal with Kitov.ai, a company that develops automated visual inspection systems powered by artificial intelligence. Mr. Glinert added that Kitov's technology is used in manufacturing environments to detect defects in complex products. Mr. Glinert further noted that Kitov's systems use 3D computer vision and machine learning to inspect parts without requiring programming expertise, helping manufacturers improve quality control, reduce waste, and save time on manual inspections.

The Chairman then proceeded with the following Agenda of the Meeting.

024 Initiatives Update

  • MVP for natural rough stones under 0.90 carats gaining traction with clear value-add proposition for manufacturers both in yield attained and, no less importantly, from automation of processes.
  • MVP for natural rough stones over 2.5 carats a much more complex issue due to exponentially more possible planning solutions and the demand to incorporate customer-specific optimisation rules, as per specific marketing objectives; initial beta-tests demonstrated promising results but still WIP.
  • Collaboration with DeBeers' Tracr truly empowers end-to-end traceability; demand mostly from luxury brands / high-en retailers to address ESG issues, Russia-related sanctions effectively postponed to 2026.
  • LGD planning adoption less broad-based than intipated, as decline in rough material cost and value have reduced benefit of proposition.
  • LGD GCAL by Sarine grading lab opened in India to facilitate ease of access and cost savings for domestic LGD polishers; Indian ab leveraged to attract new customers as well as enhance profitability of grading work for existing ones.
  • LGD grading technology still not integrated into work flow, as necessary adaptations stemming from unique LGD physical characteristics not yet fully resolved; 2025 should see resolution of outstanding issues.
Plans for 2025
  • MVP for stones <.90 carats Ongoing refinemented to enhance applicability to broad categories of rough, as well as to cater to large customers' specific needs; adoption should accelerate.
  • MVP for stones >2.5 carats The expansion of MVP to stones >2.5 carats is expected to deliver significant value, as these stones create the most value for manufacturers; indeed, Sarine has always realised its highest payback from this segment of the midstream.
  • Natural stone Color grading technology will be offered to polishers for their internal sorting needs, as all major shapes now covered by technology, Clarity grading technology for internal grading will subsequently be introduced, as the Polish parameter's technological solution is implemented - a major time-saving development.
  • LGD grading The demand for LGD grading stems from consumers having been educated over years to expect an independent thirdparty report pertaining to their diamond's characteristics; technology-based solutions remain the most effective means for manufacturers to obtain high quality, consistent grading at affordable rates.
  • Through a possible acquisition of a majority interest in Kitov.ai, subject to an ongoing due-diligence process, we could diversify beyond the volatile diamond industry. Kitov.al's solutions address general industrial automated inspection and quality control needs, with customers in many varied industries (automotive, consumer products, defense, electronics, medical, etc.); company undergoing estructuring and refocusing on core strengths with new marketing and sales strategy and personnel being created.
