    Board Resolutions

     

    On April 3, 2025, the Company’s Board signed a resolution that:

     

    Acknowledged that, due to the ongoing threat to the Company and its shareholders by the officers of LZGI, Peter Ritz and Michael Moe, including the ongoing preliminary injunction against the Company by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) preventing the Company from issuing shares, raising funds and purchasing Bitcoin, the Company is being forced by the US Courts to:

     

    (a) be in danger of delisting from NYSE American with no normal means of regaining compliance such as a reverse split or injection of investor capital, all of which would require issuing new shares,

     

    (b) be in breach of all the Company’s employment contracts, including with all Directors and Officers, and in breach of Singapore law, by being legally blocked from fulfilling the Company’s share compensation terms through the issuance of new shares, and

     

    (c) have no way of protecting the company from a hostile takeover through the measures being voted for by shareholders at the April 7, 2025 EGM including the approval of super-voting shares, as the injunction prevents the Company from issuing any shares, which would include super-voting shares; and

     

    the Company should take immediate action to protect itself and its shareholders from the threat of delisting and takeover through the following resolutions, whereby whilst the Company is legally blocked from selling shares, it is free to purchase its shares and hence increase the Company’s NAV per share, increase the Company’s BTC per share, subsequently potentially increasing the Company’s share price and reducing the risk of both delisting and takeover; and

     

    Resolved that the management be directed to proceed with the Board’s earlier resolution to effect a share buyback of up to 20% of the Company’s issued share capital, subject to shareholder approval at the EGM held April 7, 2025, the timing of which is at the discretion of management; and

     

    Resolved that that in order for the Company to meet its obligations under Singapore law and be compliant with its statutory duty to compensate employees in accordance with their contractual entitlements, the Board approved the conversion of all existing employee share entitlements up to and including 2025 into equivalent cash payouts; and

     

    Resolved that employees are granted permission to voluntarily reinvest their respective cash payouts into shares of the Company by purchasing such shares directly on the open market as individual investors, subject to applicable securities laws; and

     

    Resolved that, subject to shareholder approval of the Company’s updated constitution, at the EGM held April 7, 2025, which provides for the issuance of a new class of super-voting shares with 10 votes per shares, the Board approves the conversion of 3,000,000 of Roger Hamilton’s ordinary shares to super-voting shares, such that there are no issuance of new shares but rather the conversion of existing shares.
