Special Business

1. Authority to Allot and Issue Shares and Convertible Securities
   • Directors were granted authority under Section 161 of the Companies Act and Rule 806 of the Catalist Rules to issue shares and convertible securities up to 100% of issued share capital, with a sub-limit of 50% for non-pro-rata issues.
   • This authority extends until the next AGM or as varied/revoked by shareholders.
   • The resolution enables flexibility for potential fund-raisings, corporate actions, or strategic investments, which could have significant implications for existing shareholders and the Company’s share price.
2. Heatec Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS)
   • Directors were empowered to grant options and issue shares under the ESOS, up to a maximum of 15% of the Company’s issued share capital (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings).
   • This could introduce incremental dilution depending on future option grants and exercises.
3. Heatec Performance Share Plan (PSP)
   • Similar authority was granted for the Performance Share Plan, also capped at 15% of issued share capital.
   • This provides the Company with tools for long-term staff and management retention and incentivization, aligning interests with those of shareholders.

Implications and Potential Impact for Shareholders

• No immediate price-sensitive disclosures, but the broad authority granted to Directors for equity issuance and share-based incentives could be significant if exercised.
  • Any future share placement, rights issue, or convertible securities offering could affect share price through dilution or raise capital for expansion, M&A, or working capital.
  • The reappointment of experienced Directors and auditors provides continuity and may be viewed positively by investors.
• The Company’s approach to transparency is evident, with results to be published on SGXNet and the Company website within one month.

Other Notable Points

• There were no shareholder questions or requests for further business at the AGM, indicating broad satisfaction or limited shareholder activism at this time.
• The Company Secretary, Mr Casey Yew, was absent with apologies.

Conclusion

All resolutions at the 2026 AGM of Heatec Jietong Holdings Ltd. were passed unanimously, providing the Board with a strong mandate for the year ahead. The most significant aspect for investors is the renewed authority for the Board to issue new shares and implement share-based incentive plans, which could impact share value if utilized for future fundraising, M&A, or employee retention strategies. Investors should monitor SGXNet for further announcements regarding any exercise of these powers.
