MoneyMax Financial Services Ltd. EGM: Shareholders Approve Main Board Transfer, Share Placement, and PSP Amendments

Key Highlights from the 19 March 2026 Extraordinary General Meeting

MoneyMax Financial Services Ltd. (“MoneyMax” or the “Company”) held its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 19 March 2026, marking several critical decisions that could shape the Company’s future and potentially impact its share price. The meeting, attended by the Board of Directors, senior management, and shareholders, centered around three major resolutions: the proposed transfer of listing from Catalist to the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange (SGX-ST), amendments to the MoneyMax Performance Share Plan (PSP) 2024, and the proposed issuance and allotment of up to 88,500,000 new placement shares.

1. Transfer of Listing from Catalist to Main Board

• Special Resolution 1: Shareholders overwhelmingly approved the Company’s transfer of its listing from Catalist to the Main Board of the SGX-ST. This move is a strategic milestone, aimed at strengthening MoneyMax’s market profile, broadening its investor base, and supporting its next phase of growth.
• The Board highlighted that the Main Board listing is expected to attract a wider pool of institutional and retail investors, which could enhance liquidity, increase the diversity and quality of the shareholder base, and potentially support a higher valuation.
• The Company remains focused on its core markets in Singapore and Malaysia, and sees this listing upgrade as a “natural progression” in its corporate development and expansion strategy. The Company will continue to allocate resources towards capturing growth opportunities in these markets.
• All resolutions related to the PSP amendments and share placement are conditional on the successful transfer to the Main Board.

2. Amendments to the MoneyMax Performance Share Plan (PSP) 2024

• Ordinary Resolution 2: Shareholders approved proposed amendments to the MoneyMax PSP Rules. The updated rules will take effect upon the successful listing transfer. The amendments provide the Board with the flexibility to make awards and issue new shares or transfer treasury shares as necessary under the revised plan.
• The revised PSP Rules are aimed at better aligning management and employee interests with those of shareholders, thereby supporting long-term value creation.
• Notably, all shareholders eligible to participate in the PSP abstained from voting on this resolution, in compliance with regulatory requirements.

3. Proposed Compliance Placement: Up to 88,500,000 New Shares

• Ordinary Resolution 3: The EGM approved the issuance and allotment of up to 88,500,000 new placement shares to satisfy the SGX Main Board’s minimum public float requirement (15% free float) for the listing transfer.
• Potential Price-Sensitive Details:
  • The Company has not fixed the timeline or the final number of shares to be issued; it may issue only the minimum necessary to meet the free float requirement or more if market conditions are favourable.
  • The issue price for the new shares will be determined by the Board, subject to a maximum 10% discount to the prevailing market price, but may be set at a smaller discount or even a premium depending on investor demand and market conditions.
  • The placement is likely to target institutional or accredited investors, with placement agents potentially engaged for the process.
  • The Company emphasized that it will not rush the placement process and will consider market conditions, including recent geopolitical events, before proceeding. If conditions are unfavourable, the Company may delay the placement and remain listed on Catalist until the timing is right.
  • The Board and management underscored that the capital raised will strengthen MoneyMax’s working capital base and support growth, alongside other funding instruments such as short-term commercial papers and medium-term notes.
• Dividend Impact: Management clarified that the upcoming final and special dividend for FY2025 is already fixed and shareholder entitlement will not be affected by the timing of the placement. However, whether new placement shares are entitled to this dividend depends on the issuance date relative to the record date.
• Dilution Concerns: Existing shareholders voiced concerns about dilution. Management reassured investors that dividend payouts are designed to be sustainable, balancing shareholder returns and the Group’s capital requirements.

4. Listing Cost Comparison

• Management acknowledged that Main Board listing costs are higher than Catalist, but the incremental costs are not material relative to the Group’s overall expenses. The Board believes the benefits of Main Board status outweigh the added costs.

5. Poll Results

• All three resolutions passed by significant majorities, demonstrating strong shareholder support for the Company’s strategic direction.
• Special Resolution 1 (Main Board transfer): 100% approval.
• Ordinary Resolution 2 (PSP amendments): 100% approval (excluding abstentions).
• Ordinary Resolution 3 (share placement): 99.98% approval.

Investor Takeaways & Potential Share Price Impact

• The transfer to the Main Board is a significant corporate milestone that could enhance MoneyMax’s market profile and liquidity, potentially supporting a re-rating of the Company’s shares.
• The proposed share placement, while potentially dilutive, is aimed at strengthening working capital and meeting regulatory requirements for the Main Board listing. The actual impact on share price will depend on the placement size, timing, and pricing.
• Amendments to the PSP may incentivize management performance, which could be viewed positively by investors.
• Any delays or changes in the placement process, or failure to meet Main Board requirements, may temporarily affect sentiment or create uncertainty around the stock.
