Tritech Group Limited EGM Approves Major Debt Conversions and Transfer of Controlling Interest

Tritech Group Limited (SGX: 5G9) convened its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 13 February 2026, at which shareholders approved a series of significant corporate actions that could have material implications for the company’s capital structure and future direction.

Key Resolutions Passed at the EGM

• Conversion of Debts into Equity:
  • Resolution 1: Approval was granted for the conversion of outstanding amounts owed by the Company to Executive Director Zhou Xinping into 27,106,846 new ordinary shares at a conversion price of S\$0.0130 per share.
  • Resolution 2: Approval was given, subject to Resolution 3, for the conversion of outstanding amounts owed to Lee Sui Hee into 439,089,398 new ordinary shares at the same price of S\$0.0130 per share.
  • Both conversions were executed at a price higher than the prevailing market price (recent VWAP between S\$0.008 and S\$0.009), which is considered favourable to minority shareholders due to reduced dilution.
• Transfer of Controlling Interest:
  • Resolution 3: Conditional on Resolution 2, shareholders approved the transfer of controlling interest in Tritech Group to Lee Sui Hee. Lee has been a long-term investor and substantial funder of the company.
  • The transfer will not result in changes to management or strategic direction; Lee is not expected to participate in daily operations but will have a say at a strategic level.

Voting Outcomes

All resolutions received overwhelming support, with over 99.95% of votes cast in favour and negligible opposition.

Shareholder Questions and Company Responses

• Strategic Direction:
  • The Chairman clarified that the debt conversion is part of efforts to strengthen the balance sheet, reflecting confidence from key stakeholders in the company’s prospects.
  • Tritech has shifted its strategic focus back to the Singapore market, especially government infrastructure projects, following less successful investments in water treatment projects in China.
  • The company has recently tendered for several domestic infrastructure projects and is cautiously optimistic about securing contracts in the coming months.
• Conversion Price Justification:
  • The S\$0.0130 conversion price was determined via arm’s length negotiations and is above market price, reducing dilution effects on minority shareholders.
• Financial Impact:
  • The total cost of the debt conversion exercise was approximately S\$48,000, covering mainly professional fees (Sponsor, legal adviser, SGX).
• Impact on Shareholders and Management:
  • The transfer of controlling interest will not affect day-to-day management or strategic direction. The new controlling shareholder, Lee Sui Hee, will provide input at a strategic level but not participate in operations.
  • The conversion price, set at a premium to VWAP, is not at an excessive discount and is viewed as reasonable by some shareholders.

Potential Price-Sensitive Developments

• Significant Dilution and Change in Control: The approval of the debt-to-equity conversion and transfer of control to Lee Sui Hee represents a major shift in the company’s ownership structure. This could affect market perceptions and the share price, especially as it strengthens the balance sheet and reduces financial strain.
• Strategic Refocus and Project Pipeline: Tritech’s renewed focus on Singapore’s infrastructure sector and its participation in new tenders could present future growth opportunities, potentially impacting future earnings and share valuation.

Conclusion

The EGM’s resolutions mark a pivotal moment for Tritech Group Limited. The conversion of significant debt into equity, at a premium to current market prices, strengthens the company’s financial position and demonstrates the commitment of its key stakeholders. The transfer of controlling interest is not expected to disrupt operations, with the current management team remaining in place and strategic direction unchanged. Investors should closely monitor the company’s progress on new project tenders and any further strategic updates, as these could materially influence the share price.
