QUESTIONSAND ANSWERS
RELATINGTO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Whydid I receive these materials?
Our Members as of the close of business on October 15, 2025 (New York Time), which we refer to as the “Record Date,” are entitled to vote at our Annual General Meeting, which will be held on November 18, 2025 (“Annual Meeting” or “Meeting”). As a Member, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement provides notice of the Annual Meeting, describes the proposals presented for Shareholder action, and includes other information about the Company. The accompanying proxy card enables Members to vote on the matters without having to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
The cost of soliciting these proxies, consisting of the printing, handling, and mailing of the proxy and related material, and the actual expense incurred by brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the ordinary shares, will be paid by the Company.
In order to assure that there is a quorum, it may be necessary for certain officers, directors, regular employees, and other representatives of the Company to solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, or in person. These persons will receive no extra compensation for their services.
Whois entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Only Members of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the Annual Meeting. If you were a Member of record on the Record Date, you would be entitled to vote all of the ordinary shares that you held on that date at the Annual Meeting, or any adjournments of the Annual Meeting.
Howmany votes do I have?
You will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding ordinary share of the Company you own as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, there were 5,306,666 ordinary shares outstanding and eligible to vote.
Howmany shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the outstanding ordinary shares is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Based on the number of ordinary shares outstanding on the Record Date, the holders of our outstanding shares representing at least 1,768,889 votes will be required to establish a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions, votes withheld, and broker “non-votes” will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered present at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker holding ordinary shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal but does not vote on another proposal because, in respect of such other proposal, the broker does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
Howcan I vote my ordinary shares in person at the Annual Meeting?
Ordinary shares held in your name as the Member of record may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting. Ordinary shares held by you beneficially in “street name” through a broker, bank, or other nominee may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the ordinary shares.
Howcan I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?
Whether you hold ordinary shares directly as the Member of record or beneficially in “street name,” you may direct how your ordinary shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. If you are a Member of record (that is if your ordinary shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent), you must complete and properly sign and date the accompanying proxy card and return it to us and it will be voted as you direct. If you are a Member of record and attend the Annual Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. If you hold ordinary shares beneficially in “street name,” you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee.
| 3 |
| --- |
CanI vote by telephone or electronically?
If you are a Member of record, you may vote electronically through the Internet, by following the instructions included with your proxy card. If your ordinary shares are held in “street name,” please check your proxy card or contact your broker, bank, or other nominee concerning voting electronically and the deadline for such voting. You may not vote by telephone.
CanI change my vote after I return my proxy card?
Yes. If you are a Member of record, you may revoke or change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by delivering a notice of revocation to our Secretary at 3 Woodlands Sector 1, Singapore 738361, or by signing a proxy card bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
For ordinary shares you hold beneficially in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, or other nominee giving you the right to vote your ordinary shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. In either case, the powers of the proxy holder will be suspended if you attend the Annual Meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.
Whocounts the votes?
Votes will be counted by VStock Transfer, LLC (“VStock”), our transfer agent, who will act as master tabulator. However, no representatives of VStock will attend the Annual Meeting. Henry F. Schlueter, our United States securities counsel, will serve as the Judge of Election. As the Judge of Election, Mr. Schlueter will certify the final vote count at the Annual Meeting. If you are a Member of record, your signed proxy card is returned directly to VStock for tabulation. If you hold your ordinary shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, or other nominee, your broker, bank, or other nominee will return one proxy card to VStock on behalf of its clients.
Whatare the Board of Directors’ recommendations?
Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the person named as proxy holder on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ recommendation is set forth together with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board of Directors recommends (i) FOR Proposal No. 1; (ii) FOR Proposal No. 2; and (iii) FOR Proposal No. 3.
Ms. Hong Bee Yin, the Company’s Chairman, Executive Director, and Chief Executive Officer, through her direct ownership of 100.00% of JE Cleantech Global Limited, beneficially owns an aggregate of approximately 3,200,000 (60.9%) of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. In addition, Ms. Hong owns directly 300,000 (5.7%) of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Ms. Hong has advised the Company that she intends to vote her 3,500,000 ordinary shares representing approximately 66.6% of the outstanding ordinary shares as of October 15, 2025, in favor of the proposals above. Accordingly, each of the proposals will be approved.
WillMembers be asked to vote on any other matters?
To the knowledge of the Company and its management, Members will vote only on the matters described in this proxy statement. However, if any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies for Members will vote on those matters in the manner they consider appropriate.

| --- |
Whatvote is required to approve each of the items?
ProposalNo. 1
The affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled so to do, vote in person or, in the case of any shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative or by proxy is required for Proposal No. 2 (being the re-election of directors). A properly executed proxy marked “withhold authority” with respect to the re-election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.
ProposalNo. 2
The affirmative vote of a majority of not less than two-thirds of votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled so to do, vote in person or, in the case of any shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative or by proxy is required for the Proposal No. 1 (being the Redesignation and Reclassification of Share Capital, the replacement of clause 8 of the existing amended and restated memorandum of association, and the adoption of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association).
ProposalNo. 3
The affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled so to do, vote in person or, in the case of any shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative or by proxy is required for Proposal No. 3, being the ratification of WWC, P.C. as the independent registered public accountants for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
A properly executed proxy marked “abstain” with respect to any matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote*.*
Howare votes counted?
In the approval of Proposal Nos. 1, 2 and 3, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” If you elect to “ABSTAIN,” the abstention has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items.
In the re-election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or your vote may “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY FOR” with respect to one or more of the nominees. You may not cumulate your votes for the re-election of directors.
In the ratification of the appointment of WWC, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accountants and other items of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” If you elect to “ABSTAIN,” the abstention has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items.
If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, then your broker, bank, or other nominee is considered the Member of record, and you are considered the beneficial owner of your ordinary shares. We have supplied copies of our proxy statement to the broker, bank, or other nominee holding your ordinary shares of record, and they have the responsibility to send it to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to vote your ordinary shares at the Annual Meeting. The broker, bank, or other nominee that is the Member of record for your ordinary shares is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction card for you to use for this purpose. If you hold your ordinary shares in a brokerage account but you fail to return your voting instruction card to your broker, your ordinary shares may constitute “broker non-votes.”
Brokerage firms generally have the authority to vote customers’ un-voted shares on certain “routine” matters. Only ratification of the auditors is considered a “routine matter,” and the re-election of directors is not a “routine matter.” When a brokerage firm votes its customers’ un-voted shares, these shares are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Assuming a quorum as referenced above is reached, the approval of the proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary Meeting, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary Meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary Meeting.
Proposal No. 2 will become effective upon approval of our members.
The proposed re-designation and re-classification will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of share certificates outstanding or the trading of the Company’s shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market. If the amendment is passed by our members, it will not be necessary for members to surrender their existing share certificates. Instead, when certificates are presented for transfer, new certificates representing Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, will be issued.

Future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, book value per share, and the voting power and interest of current holders of ordinary shares. In addition, the availability of additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult any efforts to obtain control of the Company. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, nor is this proposal being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt. However, nothing would prevent the Board of Directors from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.
BoardRecommendation
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the Proposal No. 2.
