To re-appoint Pointon Young Chartered Accountants as the Company's auditors and to authorise the Directors to fix their remuneration.
5. Approval of the Company Stock Option Plan 2025 and Authority to Allot Shares pursuant to it (Resolution 6)
The Board believes that the adoption of the Company Stock Option Plan 2025 (the "Plan") is essential for the long-term success and growth of the Company. The Plan is designed to attract, retain, and motivate high-calibre employees, directors, and consultants by providing them with equity-based incentives, thereby aligning their interests directly with those of our Shareholders.
Key Features of the Plan for which approval is sought:
· Authority to Grant: The Directors will be granted the power and authority to award share options over new Ordinary Shares to any eligible person approved by the Board.
· Overall Limit: The total number of Ordinary Shares over which options may be granted shall not exceed 30 per cent of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing this resolution.

· Term and Vesting: Options granted under the Plan will be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years from the date of grant. The vesting of these options will be subject to terms and conditions, including potential performance and/or time-based conditions, as determined by the Board at the time of each award.
The authority conferred by this resolution is strictly limited to the issuance of options over no more than the stated 30 per cent of the issued share capital. The full rules of the Plan will be established and administered by the Board, in accordance with the parameters set out in this resolution.
The Directors consider the Plan to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.
SPECIAL BUSINESS
6. Approve the Digital Asset Treasury Policy ("DAT") (Resolution 7)
The Board proposes the formal adoption of a Digital Asset Treasury Policy (the "Policy") to establish a robust and clear framework for the Company's management of digital assets.
The Policy sets out the principles, procedures, and controls governing the acquisition, holding, safekeeping, and management of digital assets, specifically Ethereum (ETH), as a component of the Company's treasury reserves. The primary objectives of the Policy are to:
· Define a Clear Strategy: Outline the strategic role and allocation limits for digital assets within the Company's overall treasury management.
· Implement Robust Risk Management: Establish stringent protocols for custody, security, and risk assessment to safeguard the Company's assets.
· Ensure Operational Clarity: Provide clear guidelines for the execution of transactions and the ongoing management of digital asset holdings.
The adoption of this Policy will allow the Company to explore modern treasury management strategies with a structured and disciplined approach.
The resolution, if passed, will formally approve the Policy and authorise the Directors to take all necessary actions to implement its provisions effectively.
The Directors believe that the adoption of the Digital Asset Treasury Policy is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend a vote in favour of this resolution.
Risk Acknowledgement
Ethereum (ETH) is a highly volatile digital asset. The Company's shareholders should be aware that the adoption of this Policy and the resultant holding of cryptocurrencies involves substantial risk, including potential loss of capital. Shareholders are strongly advised to consult an independent financial adviser before making any investment decisions related to crypto assets.
Key risks include:
· Extreme price volatility and risk of capital loss;
· Evolving regulatory landscape;
· Cybersecurity threats, including theft, hacking and random attacks;
· Custodial and operational failures; and
· Limited legal or regulatory recourse in the event of asset loss or failure.
Shareholders' attention is drawn to this detailed risk assessment on page 8.
7. Authorised Share Capital Regularisation and Increase (Resolutions 8, 9 & 10)
The following resolutions propose to regularise a past administrative matter and provide the Company with the necessary capital headroom for its future growth initiatives.
Resolution 8: Ratification of Past Increase in Authorised Share Capital
This resolution seeks shareholder ratification of an increase to the Company's authorised share capital that was effected in November 2022, from
Resolution 9: Further Increase in Authorised Share Capital
Subject to the passing of Resolution 8, this resolution proposes a further increase to the authorised share capital from
Resolutions 10: Amendment to Articles of Association and Authority to Implement
This resolution combines the formal amendment of the Company's constitutional document with the practical authority to execute the change.
· It formally amends the Articles of Association to reflect the new, aggregate authorised share capital of
· It simultaneously grants the Directors and the Company's Registered Office the comprehensive authority to take all necessary actions to give effect to this amendment and the preceding capital changes, including filing the amended Articles of Association with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies.
The Board believes that regularising the Company's historical capital position and securing sufficient authorised capital for the future are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and unanimously recommends voting in favour of these resolutions.
8. Authority to Allot Shares and Disapply Pre-emption Rights (Resolutions 11 and 12)
These resolutions seek the standard authorities for the Directors to issue new shares efficiently to support the Company's future growth and funding requirements.
Resolution 11: General Authority to Allot Shares
This resolution grants the Directors the authority to allot and issue new Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equivalent to 700% of the Company's issued share capital as at the date of this AGM.
Such a authority is a standard provision for growth companies and provides the Board with the necessary flexibility to issue shares for purposes such as raising equity capital, financing strategic acquisitions, or fulfilling obligations under the Company's employee incentive plans, without the delay of convening a general meeting for each specific issuance. This authority will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting.
Resolution 12: Power to Disapply Pre-emption Rights
While the Cayman Islands Companies Law does not impose statutory pre-emption rights, the Company's Articles of Association (Article 15) grant existing shareholders the right of first refusal when new shares are issued for cash.
Resolution 12 seeks shareholder approval to temporarily disapply these pre-emption rights. This will provide the Directors with the flexibility, when they deem it to be in the Company's best interests, to issue shares for cash to new or specific investors without first offering them proportionally to all existing shareholders. This power is essential for executing fundraising transactions in a timely and efficient manner, particularly with strategic or institutional investors, and is limited to the same 700% cap as Resolution 11.
The Board believes that having these authorities is prudent for effective corporate management and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 11 and 12.
ETHEREUM (ETH) RISK FACTORS
Volatility of Ethereum Price
The price of Ethereum (ETH) is subject to extreme volatility and may fluctuate significantly over short periods. This volatility could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Company's treasury holdings and its overall financial position. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to realise its ETH holdings at favourable prices, potentially leading to substantial losses.
Regulatory Uncertainty and Risk of Enforcement
The regulatory environment for digital assets like Ethereum is evolving and varies significantly across jurisdictions. New laws, regulations, or interpretations could adversely affect the Company's ability to acquire, hold, or transfer its ETH. Regulatory actions could require the divestment of holdings or restrict operational activities. The Company may be subject to enforcement actions, including fines, sanctions, or significant legal costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the business. Non-compliance with applicable regulations could result in penalties or reputational harm.
Security, Custody, and Cybersecurity Threats
The Company's ETH holdings are exposed to security risks, including cyberattacks, hacking, phishing, malware, ransomware, and theft. Despite the intention to use institutional-grade custodial services, there is no absolute guarantee against loss. Any security breach could result in the partial or total loss of the Company's assets.
Loss or Destruction of Private Keys
Access to ETH is controlled by cryptographic private keys. The loss, destruction, or theft of these keys, whether due to human error, hardware failure, or malicious action, would result in the permanent and irreversible loss of the associated assets. Robust key management protocols are essential, but even with precautions, there is no absolute safeguard.
Liquidity Constraints and Market Manipulation
Although Ethereum markets are generally liquid, they can experience periods of illiquidity, which could impair the Company's ability to execute transactions promptly or at desired prices. Furthermore, digital asset markets are susceptible to manipulation, such as spoofing or pump-and-dump schemes, which can distort prices and adversely affect the value of the Company's holdings.
Technology, Protocol, and Operational Risks
Ethereum relies on complex, evolving technology. Network congestion, software bugs, protocol upgrades, or contentious "forks" could disrupt the Company's access to its holdings or affect their value. The Company must continuously monitor and adapt to technological changes, which may involve operational challenges and costs.
Staking-Related Risks
If the Company engages in staking its ETH to earn rewards, it will be exposed to additional risks. These may include slashing penalties (loss of a portion of staked ETH for protocol violations), illiquidity during the staking period, and technological failures associated with staking infrastructure.
Counterparty Risk
The Company's reliance on third-party custodians, exchanges, and other service providers introduces counterparty risk. The failure, insolvency, negligence, or fraudulent activity of any such counterparty could lead to a loss of assets or an inability to access them.
Accounting and Valuation Uncertainty
The accounting treatment for digital assets continues to develop and is subject to differing interpretations. Valuing ETH for financial reporting is complex due to its price volatility and a lack of uniform standards. Changes in accounting policies or guidance could materially impact the Company's reported financial statements and investor understanding.
Cross-Border Legal and Tax Risks
As Ethereum transactions are global, the Company is exposed to cross-border legal, regulatory, and tax risks. Differences in jurisdictional approaches could result in conflicting obligations, increased compliance burdens, unanticipated tax liabilities, and challenges in transferring or realising assets.
Lack of Recourse and Consumer Protections
Unlike traditional financial assets, ETH holdings do not benefit from statutory investor recourse or deposit protection schemes. In the event of loss, theft, or fraud due to any of the risks described, the Company may have limited or no avenues for recovery, making the asset class inherently riskier.
Reputational and ESG Considerations
The Company's association with digital assets may attract scrutiny from investors, customers, and other stakeholders. Negative perceptions related to the environmental impact of certain blockchain technologies, market volatility, or association with illicit activities could harm the Company's reputation and its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) profile.
Insurance Limitations
Insurance coverage for digital assets is not yet widespread and may be prohibitively expensive. Any insurance obtained may not cover all types of risks (e.g., loss of private keys, market manipulation) or the full value of the holdings, leaving the Company exposed to potential uninsured losses.
