-
Approval of Loan Restructuring with Thoresen Thai Agencies PCL (TTA)
This is the most significant and potentially price-sensitive agenda item. The EGM approved Mermaid Maritime’s entry into a loan restructuring agreement with Thoresen Thai Agencies PCL (“TTA”) concerning various existing loan arrangements.

Nature of the Transaction: The restructuring involves interested person transactions as TTA, Soleado Holdings Pte. Ltd., Athene Holdings Ltd., and Mr. Chalermchai Mahagitsiri are considered interested parties and therefore abstained from voting.
-
Board and Audit Committee Recommendation: The Audit Committee reviewed the terms and concluded that the transaction is conducted on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the company or its minority shareholders. The Board of Directors recommended shareholders to approve the agreement.
-
Voting Outcome: All non-interested shareholders voted in favour, with 100% approval from eligible votes.
Investor Implications: Loan restructurings can have a significant impact on a company’s financial health, debt servicing costs, and liquidity position. The successful approval may strengthen Mermaid Maritime’s balance sheet and improve its financial flexibility, potentially affecting share value.
-
Other Business
No additional business was raised or transacted during the EGM.
