Dear Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders (the “Meeting”) of ESGL Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”, “ESGL”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), which will be held at 9.00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 10, 2025 at the Company’s principal executive office located at 101 Tuas South Avenue 2 Singapore 637226, and virtually via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/esgl/2025. Shareholders attending the Meeting virtually will be able to attend the Meeting and vote and submit questions during the Meeting via the live webcast. This proxy statement includes additional instructions on how to access the Meeting via live webcast and how to listen, vote, and submit questions from home or any remote location with Internet connectivity.

We are a holding company primarily operating in Singapore through our subsidiary, Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (“ESA”). On February 26, 2025, ESGL entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“De Tomaso” or “DT”), and certain of DT’s shareholders named therein, including De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited, a Marshall Islands company, and Ideal Team Ventures Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, pursuant to which ESGL agreed to purchase from the DT shareholders, and the DT shareholders agreed to sell to ESGL, the entire issued share capital of DT (the “DT Shares”), for the Consideration (as defined below), such that upon the closing, DT shall become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ESGL, and the DT shareholders shall become shareholders of ESGL (the “Acquisition”). The combined company after the Acquisition is referred to in this proxy statement as the “Combined Company.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by ESGL at the closing of the Acquisition to the DT shareholders is $1,030,000,000 (the “Consideration”), which will be paid in 1,000,000,000 newly issued ordinary shares of ESGL (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed issue price of $1.03 per share^1^. In addition, subject to DT and its subsidiaries (the “DT Group”) having achieved the FY2025 Performance Target (as defined below) and the FY2026 Performance Target (as defined below), ESGL shall issue additional ordinary shares to the DT shareholders equal to 5% of the number of Consideration Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) for each fiscal year. The total number of Earnout Shares that may be issued in both FY2025 and FY2026 shall not exceed 10% of the number of the Consideration Shares. In the event that the FY2025 Performance Target is not satisfied by the end of 2025 but the FY2025 Performance Target and the FY2026 Performance Target have been satisfied by the end of FY2026, all of the Earnout Shares in respect of both fiscal years (to the extent not yet issued) shall be issued to the DT shareholders. The “FY2025 Performance Target” means 36 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year. The “FY2026 Performance Target” means 74 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year.

At the Meeting, holders of ESGL ordinary shares will be asked to approve, among other things, the following proposals.

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. You may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. A large number of banks and brokerage firms offer Internet and telephone voting. If your bank or brokerage firm does not offer Internet or telephone voting information, please complete and return your proxy card in the self- addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.

If you plan to vote via the Internet, you will need to contact Continental at the phone number or email below to receive a control number and you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee reflecting the number of ordinary shares you held as of the Record Date, your name and email address. You must contact Continental for specific instructions on how to receive the control number. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the Meeting for processing your control number.

After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to Continental.

A. If you are a shareholder of record as of the Record Date for<br> the Meeting, you should receive a proxy card from Continental, containing instructions on how to attend the Meeting including the<br> URL address, along with your control number. You will need your control number for access. If you do not have your control number,<br> contact Continental at 917-262-2373 or email proxy@continentalstock.com.

You can pre-register to attend the Meeting virtually starting on June 5, 2025. Go to https://www.cstproxy.com/esgl/2025*,* enter the control number found on your proxy card you previously received, as well as your name and email address. Once you pre-register you can vote. At the start of the Meeting you will need to re-log into https://www.cstproxy.com/esgl/2025 using your control number.

Shareholders will also have the option to listen to the Meeting by telephone by calling:

Within the U.S. and Canada: 1 800-450-7155 (toll-free)
Outside of the U.S. and Canada: +1 857-999-9155 (standard<br> rates apply)

The passcode for telephone access is: 6069185#

If your shares are held in street name, and you would like to join and not vote, Continental will issue you a guest control number. Either way, you must contact Continental for specific instructions on how to receive the control number. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the Meeting for processing your control number.

Q: Who can help answer any other questions I might have about the participating in the Meeting virtually?
A. If you have any questions concerning participating the Meeting<br> virtually (including accessing the Meeting by virtual means) or need help voting your ordinary shares of ESGL, please contact Continental<br> at 917-262-2373 or email proxy@continentalstock.com.
The Notice of Special Meeting, proxy statement and form of<br> Proxy Card are available at: https://www.cstproxy.com/esgl/2025.
Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically vote my shares for me?
A: No. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting<br> instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to<br> any Proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a Proposal is determined to be discretionary,<br> your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted to vote on the Proposal without receiving voting instructions from you.<br> If a Proposal is determined to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted to vote on the<br> Proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder<br> of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary Proposal because the holder of record has not<br> received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
Each of the Proposals to be presented at the Meeting is a<br> non-discretionary Proposal. Accordingly, if you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker,<br> bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any of the Proposals. A broker<br> non-vote would have no effect on the vote for any Proposal.

For<br> purposes of approval, an abstention on any Proposals will not count as vote cast at the Meeting and will have no effect on such Proposal.
Q: If I am not going to attend the Meeting, should I return my proxy card instead?
A. Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Meeting virtually or not,<br> please read the enclosed proxy statement carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed<br> proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.
Q: How can I submit a proxy?
A. You may submit a proxy by (a) visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/esgl/2025<br> and following the on screen instructions (have your proxy card available when you access the webpage), or (b) calling toll-free<br> 1 800-450-7155 in the U.S. and Canada or +1 857-999-9155 from foreign countries (other than Canada) from any touch-tone phone (Conference<br> ID: 6069185#) and follow the instructions (have your proxy card available when you call), or (c) submitting your proxy card<br> by mail by using the previously provided self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Q: Can I change my vote after I have mailed my proxy card?
A: Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy<br> is voted at the Meeting. You may revoke your proxy by executing and returning a proxy card dated later than the previous one, or<br> by attending the Meeting in person or via the Internet, and casting your vote or by voting again by the telephone or Internet voting<br> options described below, or by submitting a written revocation stating that you would like to revoke your proxy that the Company<br> receives prior to the Meeting. If you hold your ordinary shares through a bank, brokerage firm or nominee, you should follow<br> the instructions of your bank, brokerage firm or nominee regarding the revocation of proxies. If you are a record holder, you should<br> send any notice of revocation or your completed new proxy card, as the case may be, to ESGL Holdings Limited, Attention: Ho<br> Shian Ching, E-mail: shian@env-solutions.com.

Unless revoked, a proxy will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the shareholder’s indicated instructions. In the absence of instructions, proxies will be voted FOR each of the Proposals.

Q: What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?
A: If a shareholder fails to return a proxy card or fails to<br> instruct a broker or other nominee how to vote, and does not attend the Meeting in person, then the shareholder’s shares will<br> not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.
Q: Who will solicit the proxies and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meeting?
A: ESGL is soliciting proxies on behalf of the<br> Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. ESGL and its directors, officers and<br> employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Any solicitation made and information provided<br> in such a solicitation will be consistent with the written proxy statement and proxy card. ESGL will bear the cost of solicitation.<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>ESGL will ask banks, brokers and other institutions,<br> nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and<br> voting instructions.

If you transfer your ordinary shares of ESGL<br> after the Record Date, but before the Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you would retain<br> your right to vote at the Meeting.
Q: When is the Acquisition expected to occur?
A: Assuming the requisite regulatory and shareholder approvals<br> are received, ESGL expects that the Acquisition will occur in June 2025.
Q: Will I experience dilution as a result of the Acquisition?

See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
Q: Are ESGL’s shareholders required to approve the Acquisition?
A: Although the Acquisition does not require shareholder approval,<br>the Authorized Capital Increase Proposal and the Share Consolidation Proposal relating to the Acquisition require ordinary resolutions,<br>passed by a simple majority of the shareholders entitled to vote who vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting, and the Name Change<br>Proposal and the Amended Charter Proposal relating to the Acquisition requires a special resolution of the shareholders of ESGL passed<br>by the affirmative vote of holders of ESGL ordinary shares representing at least two-thirds of the votes of the ESGL ordinary shares<br>present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the shareholders of ESGL or approved in writing by all the holders of ESGL ordinary<br>shares entitled to vote at a general meeting of ESGL.
Q: Are there risks associated with the Acquisition that I should consider in deciding how to vote?

The Parties to the Acquisition


ESGL Holdings Limited

ESGL completed a merger with Genesis Unicorn Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (“GUCC”), on August 2, 2023 and ESGL’s ordinary shares and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on August 4, 2023. The Company, ESGL ESGH Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and Environmental Solutions Group Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Legacy ESGL”), entered into a Merger Agreement dated as of November 29, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for a business combination which was effected in two steps: (i) ESGL reincorporated to Cayman Islands by merging with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Reincorporation Merger”); and (ii) following the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy ESGL, resulting in Legacy ESGL being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Acquisition Merger,” together with Reincorporation Merger, the “Business Combination”).

ESGL was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 18, 2022 for the sole purpose of the Business Combination with GUCC as described above. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, GUCC merged with and into ESGL, with ESGL as the surviving publicly traded entity.


Environmental Solutions Group HoldingsLimited and Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte. Ltd.

Environmental Solutions Group Holdings Limited is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on June 14, 2022. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, Environmental Solutions Group Holdings Limited conducts all of its operations through its operating entity incorporated in Singapore, Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (“ESA”).

ESA is a waste management, treatment and recycling company involved in the collection and recycling of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste from customers such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and electroplating companies. ESA currently has two revenue streams, from: (i) services income which is primarily comprised of the fees it charges its customers for waste collection and disposal services, which fees are similar to those charged by ESA’s competitors, and (ii) the sales and trading of ESA’s circular products that are made and processed from the recycled waste collected from its customers with respect to its waste collection and disposal services, which ESA believes makes ESA a unique and environmentally friendly offering in the marketplace.

A fundamental tenet of ESA is that waste is a resource to be reused, repurposed and recirculated. ESA believes that this mindset of creating commodities from waste sets itself apart from the linear traditional waste industry participants, which largely only generate income from the collection, destruction and disposal of post-collection waste. This philosophy is ingrained and reflected in ESA’s business operations where it utilizes renewable energy and by-products produced from ESA’s waste treatment process to reduce its own operating costs. In line with this mindset, ESA’s primary business focus is the conversion and processing of industrial waste (that would otherwise be unused in the waste recycling process) into circular products such as pyrolysis oil, diesel, metals such as nickel, zinc, copper, silver, gold, minerals such as lime (calcium hydroxide) and fluorspar (calcium fluoride), and chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and calcium chloride. ESA then sells these converted circular products to local and international end users, traders or overseas refiners who require the circular products for their own commercial use or for further processing including manufacturing and galvanizing purposes.

| --- |

With respect to each Proposal in this proxy statement, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If a shareholder fails to return a proxy card or fails to instruct a broker or other nominee how to vote, and does not attend the Meeting in person, then the shareholder’s shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Meeting and will have no effect on any of the proposals.


Dissenter Rights

Dissenter rights are not available to ESGL or DT shareholders in connection with the Acquisition.


Ownership of the Combined Company After theClosing

The estimated ownership levels in the Combined Company, immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, is set forth under “Security Ownershipof Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on page 137 of this proxy statement.


Stock Exchange Listing

ESGL’s ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “ESGL” and “ESGLW,” respectively. We have applied to list the ordinary shares and the warrants of the Combined Company on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “OIO” and “OIOWW,” respectively, in connection with the Acquisition. ESGL cannot assure that the ordinary shares and warrants of the Combined Company will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.


Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Acquisition will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, ESGL will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the holders of DT expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, DT senior management comprising the senior management of the Combined Company, the relative size of DT compared to ESGL, and DT operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Acquisition will be treated as the equivalent of DT issuing shares for the net assets of ESGL, accompanied by a recapitalization.


Recommendations of the Board and Reasons forthe Acquisition

After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Board has determined that the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, ESGL and its shareholders. In reaching its decision with respect to the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Board reviewed various industry and financial data and the evaluation of materials provided by DT. Based upon the foregoing, among other things, the Board recommends that ESGL shareholders vote:

FOR the Authorized Capital Increase Proposal;
FOR the Share Consolidation Proposal;
FOR the Name Change Proposal;
FOR the Amended Charter Proposal; and
FOR the Adjournment Proposal.

RISK FACTORS

Shareholders should carefullyconsider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, before they decidewhether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the Acquisition and related Proposals described in this proxy statement.These risks could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Combined Company,and could adversely affect the trading price of the Combined Company’s securities following the Acquisition.


Risks Relating to the Group’s Businessand Industry


For the two years ended December 31, 2024and 2023, the Group has incurred operating losses and may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. The Group may not generatesufficient revenue or become profitable or, if it achieves profitability, it may not be able to sustain it.

For the two years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group’s net losses were US$633,257 and US$94,979,338, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Group had an accumulated deficit of US$100,619,185 (2023: US$99,985,928).

Notably, the Group’s main operating subsidiary, Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte Ltd, returned to profitability in 2024, marking a key milestone in the Group’s turnaround journey.

The significant losses reported in 2023 were primarily due to non-operational and non-recurring listing expenses of approximately US$93.1 million, largely related to accounting treatments tied to the Business Combination and revaluation of the Forward Purchase Agreement (FPA). Excluding these one-off charges, the Group’s operational fundamentals have remained resilient despite ongoing investments in growth. This improvement reflects strong cost discipline, including reductions in inventory and logistics costs of approximately US$1.2 million and US$283,000 respectively, and the absence of one-off listing expenses incurred in 2023.

The other major contributor to the net loss were expenses incurred in connection with the depreciation of property, plant and equipment, the purchase of raw materials, employee benefits expenses and other operating expenses. The Group may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as it continues its research and development activities, pursues potential mergers and acquisitions, seeks product certification approvals in the territories it has identified, hires additional personnel, obtains and protects its intellectual property and incurs additional costs for commercialization or to expand its pipeline of waste materials it collects and the circular products it generates from the recycled waste collected from its customers with respect to its waste collection and disposal services.

To become and remain profitable, the Group must increase its operating capacity to treat higher volumes of wastes and succeed in developing and eventually commercializing circular products that can generate sufficient revenue. In that regard, the Group has commenced sales of Fluorspar and Kao Lin, and regenerated acids from the wastes the Group collected.

In addition, the Group has not yet demonstrated an ability to successfully overcome many of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving fields, particularly in the environmental services industry. Because of these numerous risks and uncertainties, the Group is unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, it will be able to achieve profitability. Even if the Group achieves profitability, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Its failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of the Company and could impair the ability of the Company to raise capital, expand its business, maintain its research and development efforts, diversify its products, or even continue its operations. A decline in the value of the Company could also cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

| 19 |

| --- |


The environmental services industry ishighly competitive and includes competitors that may have greater financial and operational resources, flexibility to reduce prices orother competitive advantages that could make it difficult for the Group to compete effectively.

The Group principally competes with waste management companies who collect and dispose the waste the Group needs for its waste management and treatment processes. Competition for waste collection is typically based on factors such as geographic location, quality of services, ease of doing business and/or price. the Group ‘s competitors may have greater financial and operational resources than we do. They could also seek to gain market share by reducing the prices they charge customers, introducing products and solutions that are similar to the Group’s or introducing new technology tools. If the Group were to lose market share or if it were to lower prices to address competitive issues, it could negatively impact the Group’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.


The Group requires a significant amountof capital to fund its operations and growth. If the Group cannot obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms, its business, financialcondition, and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

The Group requires a significant amount of capital and resources for its operations and continued growth. The Group expects to make significant investments to develop new operating capabilities and technology, which are fundamental to the Group’s business operations and future growth. However, the Group cannot assure you that these investments will generate the optimal returns, if at all. To date, the Group has historically funded its cash requirements primarily through the issuance of ordinary shares, cash generated by operations and borrowings from banks. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy the Group’s cash requirements, the Group may seek to raise funds through additional equity offering or debt financing or additional bank facilities. The Group’s ability to obtain additional capital in the future, however, is subject to a number of uncertainties, including those relating to its future business development, financial condition, and results of operations, general market conditions for financing activities by companies in its industry, and macro-economic and other conditions. If the Group cannot obtain sufficient capital on acceptable terms to meet its capital needs, the Group may not be able to execute its growth strategies, and the Group’s business, financial condition, and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.


The Group did not meet its revenue projectionfor the fiscal year ended 2024.

The projected revenues of the Group for fiscal year 2024 was between $7.6 million to $9.5 million. The revenues of the Group for the fiscal year ended 2024 was approximately US$6.1 million. The Group did not meet its 2024 revenue projection mainly due to shortfall in the revenue from collection and treatment of hazardous chemical wastes such as acids.

In addition, the Group faced challenges in meeting its funding requirement to enhance technologies and capacity, essential for effectively serving market needs. This limitation hindered the Group’s ability to capitalize on growth and innovation opportunities, consequently affecting revenue generation. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions and market volatility presented additional obstacles to revenue generation efforts. Lower manufacturing activity, potentially influenced by these external factors, led to reduced waste from customers, impacting revenue streams. Lastly, unexpected waste management regulatory changes in Singapore posed operational challenges, particularly in the final quarter of the financial year. Adapting to these regulatory shifts proved to be a complex task, affecting operational efficiency. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Group’s actual financial results would meet the financial projections and there is a significant likelihood that the Group’s actual financial results over the time periods and under the scenarios covered by the projections would be materially different. At this time, the Group’s management estimates that the impact of the lack of funds for capital investments may continue in the near future and therefore, the Group may not be able to meet its original revenue projections for 2025 and/or 2026. The Group has not updated its projections due to uncertainties surrounding recent developments, their future outcomes, and their impact on the Group’s projections.


Fluctuations in prices for recyclable wastematerials the Group collects from its customers and the circular products that it sells to local and international end users, tradersor overseas refiners may adversely affect the Group’s revenue, operating income, and cash flows.

The Group collects a variety of recyclable waste materials from its customers and processes and transforms them into circular products for sale to local and international end users, traders or overseas refiners, and the Group may directly or indirectly receive proceeds from its waste collection services and the sale of circular products. The   Group’s results of operations may be affected by changing prices or market requirements for the recyclable waste materials and the circular products. The resale and purchase prices of, and market demand for, the circular products can be volatile because of changes in economic conditions and numerous other factors beyond the Group’s control. These fluctuations may affect the cost of and demand for the Group’s services and the Group’s future revenue, operating income, and cash flows.

| 20 |

| --- |

The Group is also exposed to inflationary pressures and rising interest rates which may adversely affect the selling price of its circular products. If this causes purchasing demand from the Group’s customers for its circular products to reduce, the selling price of certain of the Group’s circular products such as copper and zinc could drop and reduce its revenue. Inflation has also resulted in higher costs for the maintenance of the Group’s equipment, higher electricity and fuel costs and freight and payroll costs, which had an adverse impact on the Group’s operating profit and operating profit margin. Moreover, certain suppliers who are affected by supply chain inflationary pressures may decide to reduce their production and as a result the volume of industrial waste that is generated and supplied to the Group may be reduced. Similarly, following the general decline in the spending power of consumers, the Group’s waste disposal customers which are mainly semi-conductor companies with products that are used in mobile devices to cars may also decide to reduce their production which in turn would lead to lower volumes of waste being disposed to the Group. Although increasing the selling price of the Group’s circular products could mitigate the impact of inflation, competitive pressures may constrain the Group’s ability to fully recover any increased costs in this way. In addition, efforts to mitigate the effect of inflation through continuous investments in waste treatment processes and software developments to automate, streamline and improve the productivity of the Group’s business operations may not be sufficient.


The Group may not be able to enhance itsexisting recycling, reuse, disposal and waste treatment solutions and develop new solutions in a timely manner.

The Group’s future operating results will depend, to a significant extent, on its ability to continue to provide efficient and innovative recycling, reuse, disposal and waste treatment services that compare favorably with alternative services on the basis of cost, performance, and customer preferences. The Group’s success in maintaining and growing with its existing customers and attracting new customers depends on various factors, including the following:

innovative development of new services for customers;
maintenance of quality standards;
efficient and cost-effective services; and
utilization of advances in technology.

The Group’s inability to enhance its existing services and develop new services on a timely basis could harm its operating results and impede its growth.


The Group’s revenues, earnings andcash flows will fluctuate based on changes in commodity prices, and commodity prices for circular products are particularly susceptibleto volatility based on regulations and tariffs that affect its ability to export products.

Enforcement or implementation of foreign and domestic regulations can affect the Group’s ability to export its circular products. In 2017, the Chinese government announced bans on certain scrap materials and begun to enforce extremely restrictive quality and other requirements, which significantly reduced China’s import of recyclables. As of January 1, 2021, China ceased importing virtually all recyclables, including those exported by the Group. Many other markets, both domestic and foreign, have also tightened their quality expectations and limited or restricted the import of certain circular products. The recent slew of tariffs announced by the United States of America in 2025 and the ripple effects of escalating trade tension may have far-reaching implications. Higher tariffs on a global scale risk disrupting supply chains, raising costs and weakening trade flows and culminate in slower and/or lower growth

Such trade restrictions have disrupted the global trade of recyclables, creating excess supply and decreasing recyclable commodity prices. The Group has been actively working to identify alternative markets for recycling commodities, but there may not be demand for all of the circular products it produces. The heightened quality requirements have been difficult for the industry to achieve and have driven up operating costs. As prices of circular products have fallen and operating costs have increased, the Group and other recyclers are passing cost increases through to waste collection customers.

| 21 |

| --- |

Fluctuation in energy prices also affects the Group’s business, including recycling of plastics manufactured from petroleum products. Significant variations in the price of methane gas, electricity and other energy- related products can result in a corresponding significant impact to the Group’s revenue from yield from such operations. Any of the commodity prices to which the Group is subject may fluctuate substantially and without notice in the future.


Acute and chronic weather events, includingthose brought about by climate change, may limit the Group’s operations and increase the costs of collection, transfer, disposal,and other environmental services it provides.

The Group’s operations could be adversely impacted by extreme weather events, changing weather patterns, and rising mean temperature and sea levels, some of which the Group is already experiencing. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”), which includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States and other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5° to 10° Fahrenheit over the next century. Changing weather patterns   and rising temperatures are expected to result in more severe heat waves, fires, storms, and other extreme weather events. Any of these extreme weather events such as flash flooding in Singapore could significantly decrease the volume of waste material the Group collects from its waste disposal customers and suppliers of industrial waste as they may be required to temporarily cease or suspend their business activities, thereby reducing the volume of waste they generate. Other than the Group’s customers and suppliers, such adverse weather conditions may also result in the temporary suspension of the Group’s business operations, ability to utilize the Group’s normal commercial channels and supply chain, and the incursion of significant costs to repair its fixtures, equipment and property, all of which could significantly affect the Company’s operating results during those periods.


The Group’s businesses are subjectto operational and safety risks.

Providing waste management, treatment and recycling services to the Group’s customers involves risks such as equipment defects, malfunctions and failures and natural disasters, which could potentially result in releases of hazardous materials, damage to or total loss of the Group’s property or assets, injury or death of the Group’s employees or a need to shut down or reduce operations of the Group’s facilities while remedial actions are undertaken. The Group’s employees and logistics providers, when necessary, often work under potentially hazardous conditions. These risks expose the Group to potential liability for pollution and other environmental damages, personal injury, loss of life, business interruption and property damage or destruction. The Group must also maintain a solid safety record in order to remain a preferred supplier to its major customers. While the Group seeks to minimize its exposure to such risks primarily through entering and maintaining various insurance policies in relation to the business, operations, employees and assets of ESA, such actions and insurance may not be adequate to cover all of the Group’s potential liabilities which could negatively impact its results of operations and cash flows.


The Group’s insurance coverage andself-insurance reserves may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures, and increasing costs to maintain adequate coveragemay significantly impact the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Group carries a range of insurance policies intended to protect its assets and operations, including general liability insurance, property damage, business interruption and environmental risk insurance. While the Group endeavors to purchase insurance coverage appropriate to its risk assessment, it is unable to predict with certainty the frequency, nature or magnitude of claims for direct or consequential damages, and as a result the Group’s insurance program may not fully cover itself for losses it may incur.

As a result of a number of catastrophic weather and other events, insurance companies have incurred substantial losses and in many cases they have substantially reduced the nature and amount of insurance coverage available to the market, have broadened exclusions and/or have substantially increased the cost of such coverage. If this trend continues, the Group may not be able to maintain insurance of the types and coverage it desires at reasonable rates. A partially or completely uninsured claim against the Group (including liabilities associated with cleanup or remediation), if successful and of sufficient magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Any future difficulty in obtaining insurance could also impair the Group’s ability to secure future contracts, which may be conditional upon the availability of adequate insurance coverage. In addition, claims associated with risks for which the Group is to some extent self-insured (property, workers’ compensation, employee medical, comprehensive general liability and vehicle liability) may exceed the Group’s recorded reserves, which could negatively impact future earnings.

| 22 |

| --- |


The Group may have environmental liabilitiesthat are not covered by its insurance. Changes in insurance markets also may impact its financial results.

The Group may incur environmental liabilities arising from its operations or properties. The Group maintains high deductibles for its environmental liability insurance coverage. If the Group was to incur substantial liability for environmental damage, its insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover such liability. This could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Also, due to the variable condition of the insurance market, the Group has experienced, and may experience in the future, increased insurance retention levels and increased premiums or unavailability of insurance. As the Group assumes more risk for insurance through higher retention levels, the Group may experience more variability in its insurance reserves and expense.


The Group depends on key personnel whowould be difficult to replace, and its business will likely be harmed if it loses their services or cannot hire additional qualifiedpersonnel.

The Group’s success depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of its current management team and key personnel. The loss of one or more of its key executives or employees could have a material adverse effect on its business. The Group does not maintain “key person” insurance policies on the lives of any of its executives or any of its other employees. The Group employs all of its executives and key employees on an at-will basis, and their employment can be terminated by the Group or them at any time, for any reason, and without notice, subject, in certain cases, to severance payment rights.

The Group’s success also depends on its ability to attract, retain, and motivate additional skilled management personnel. The Group plans to continue to expand its work force to continue to enhance its business and operating results. The Group believes that there is significant competition for qualified personnel with the skills and knowledge that it requires. Many of the other companies with which the Group competes for qualified personnel have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Group does. They also may provide more diverse opportunities and better chances for career advancement. Some of these characteristics may be more appealing to high-quality candidates than those which the Group has to offer. If the Group is not able to retain its current key personnel or attract the necessary qualified key personnel to accomplish its business objectives, it may experience constraints that will significantly impede the achievement of its business objectives and its ability to pursue its business strategy. New hires require significant training and, in most cases, take significant time before they achieve full productivity. New employees may not become as productive as the Group expects, and the Group may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals. If the Group’s recruiting, training, and retention efforts are not successful or do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue, the Group’s business will be harmed.


General economic conditions can directlyand adversely affect revenues for environmental services and the Group’s income from operations margins.

The Group’s business is directly affected by changes in national and general economic factors that are outside of the Group’s control, including consumer confidence, interest rates and access to global markets. A weak economy generally results in decreases in volumes of waste generated, which negatively impacts the ability to grow through new business or service upgrades, and may result in customer turnover and reduction in the waste service needs of the Group’s customers and the demand for circular products from end users, traders or overseas refiners. Consumer uncertainty and the loss of consumer confidence may also reduce the number and variety of services and/or circular products requested by customers. This decrease in demand can negatively impact commodity prices and the Group’s operating income and cash flows.

| 23 |

| --- |


The Group could become involved in litigationmatters that may be expensive and time consuming, and, if resolved adversely, could harm its business, financial condition, or resultsof operations.

Although the Group is not currently involved in any litigation matters, any such litigation to which it is a party may result in an onerous or unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed upon appeal, or the Group may decide to settle lawsuits on similarly unfavorable terms. Any negative outcome could result in payments of substantial monetary damages or fines, or changes to the Group’s products or business practices, and accordingly the Group’s business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.


The Group could be required to make immediaterepayment of certain of its outstanding debt with financial institutions.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group has certain borrowings with outstanding balances of approximately US$4.3 million classified as current liabilities, as the relevant loan agreements the Group entered with the lenders provide them discretion to demand immediate repayment of the outstanding balances from us. In addition, as of the date hereof, the Group had obtained waivers from the relevant lenders in relation to certain terms and conditions under the relevant loan agreements in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, except for Term Loan IV with an outstanding balance of approximately S$148,000 (US$109,000) as of December 31, 2024 from the relevant bank (the “Relevant Bank”). On July 20, 2022, the Group had obtained a written consent from the Relevant Bank for, among other things, the undertaking of a proposed restructuring of the Group. Subsequently on January 17, 2023, the Group had requested a waiver from the Relevant Bank for the closing of the Business Combination. As of the date hereof, the Group had not obtained the waiver or any notice from the Relevant Bank objecting, disagreeing to the matter or demanding any immediate repayment of Term Loan IV in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the above, the lenders could demand immediate repayment of the outstanding balances from the Group for the borrowings classified as current liabilities and it may be unable to repay, negotiate, extend or refinance the bank borrowings on favorable terms or at all, which may have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial position. If the Group fails to repay certain of the bank borrowings, some lenders could enforce their security interests under the relevant loan agreements and take possession of the Group’s leasehold land and buildings where it operates its business, thereby resulting in a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition. See Note 17 to the Group’s financial statements for further information on the Group’s outstanding debt with financial institutions.


The Group’s strategy includes anincreasing dependence on technology in its operations. If any of its key technology fails, its business could be adversely affected.

The Group’s operations are increasingly dependent on technology. The Group’s information technology systems are critical to its ability to drive profitable growth, implement standardized processes and deliver a consistent customer experience. Problems with the operation of the information or communication technology systems it uses could adversely affect, or temporarily disable, all or a portion of the Group’s operations. Inabilities and delays in implementing new systems can also affect its ability to realize projected or expected revenue or cost savings. Further, any systems failures could impede its ability to timely collect and report financial results in accordance with applicable laws.

Emerging technologies represent risks, as well as opportunities, to the Group’s current business model. The costs associated with developing or investing in emerging technologies could require substantial capital and adversely affect the Group’s results of operations and cash flows. Delays in the development or implementation of such emerging technologies and difficulties in marketing new products or services based on emerging technologies could have similar negative impacts. The Group’s financial results may suffer if it is not able to develop or license emerging technologies, or if a competitor obtains exclusive rights to an emerging technology that disrupts the current methods used in the environmental services industry.

A cyber security incident could negativelyimpact the Group’s business and its relationships with customers.

The Group uses information technology, including computer and information networks, in substantially all aspects of its business operations. The Group also use mobile devices, social networking and other online activities to connect with its employees and its customers. Such uses give rise to cyber security risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. The Group’s business involves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including customers’ personal information, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about the Group and its business partners. In connection with its strategy to grow through acquisitions and to pursue new initiatives that improve its operations and cost structure, the Group is also expanding and improving its information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cyber security risk. If the Group fails to assess and identify cyber security risks associated with acquisitions and new initiatives, it may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, while the Group has implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, its preventive measures and incident response efforts may not be entirely effective. Also, the regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and constantly changing requirements. This changing regulatory landscape may cause increasingly complex compliance challenges, which may increase the Group’s compliance costs. Any failure to comply with these changing security and privacy laws and regulations could result in significant penalties, fines, legal challenges and reputational harm. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with the Group’s information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which it relies, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage, violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.


The Group may be subject to intellectualproperty claims that create uncertainty about ownership of technology essential to its business and divert its managerial and other resources.

The Group can provide no assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by it with respect to its current or future services, trademarks, or other proprietary rights. The Group’s success depends, in part, on its ability to protect its intellectual property and to operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others in the process. There can be no assurance that any of its intellectual property will be adequately safeguarded or that it will not be challenged by third parties. The Group may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims that would be costly to defend, could limit its ability to use certain critical technologies, and may divert its technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. The Group may not prevail in any of these suits. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could cause the Group to pay substantial damages, including treble damages, if it willfully infringes and also could increase the risk of its patent applications not being issued.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of the Group’s confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions, or other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation. If these results are perceived to be negative, it could have an adverse effect on the Group’s business.


Changes in policies imposed by governmentsmay impact on the availability and costs of employing non-Singapore workers.

The Group is dependent on non-Singapore workers for its business operations. The Group’s ability to meet its labor requirements for operational needs is subject to various factors, including changes in the labor policies of such foreign workers’ countries of origin or the policies imposed by Ministry of Manpower (“MOM”) in Singapore. The Group is therefore vulnerable to any shortage in the supply of foreign workers and any increase in the cost of foreign labor, the occurrence of which would adversely affect its business and financial performance.

Government policies affecting labor costs include, inter alia, the new progressive wage model (“PWM”) and foreign worker levies. Changes in these policies may lead to an increase in the Group’s labor costs which may result in its business, financial condition and results of operations being materially and adversely affected. The Group is subject to foreign worker levies for the foreign workers it hires. The Group paid foreign worker levies in the amount of US$173,632 and US$168,137 for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

| 25 |

| --- |

The foreign worker levies applicable to the Group will differ according to the percentage of the Group’s total workforce comprising of foreign workers. As of February 28, 2025 approximately 68.8% of the Group’s total workforce comprised of foreign workers for whom it might have to pay such foreign worker levies. Further, the criteria for applying for certain foreign work permits will be tightened moving forward and there will be increase in foreign worker levies. There is no assurance that the Singapore Government will not further increase the levy rates in future, and if they do so, the Group may face a significant increase in labor costs.

In January 2022, the National Environment Agency (“NEA”) and MOM announced a new waste management PWM with a six (6) year schedule of sustained PWM wage increases from 2023 to 2028 and a mandatory annual PWM bonus for eligible workers from January 2024. Under the new PWM wage schedule, the monthly baseline wage of an entry-level waste collection crew worker is expected to increase from S$2,210 in 2023 to S$3,260 in 2028 or possibly sooner. The implementation of and revisions to the PWM has increased the Group’s labor costs and there is no assurance that the Singapore government will not revise the PWM to further increase the base salaries beyond 2028.


The Group is exposed to environmental liability.

The Group’s business operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations in Singapore, in particular on the disposal and treatment of industrial and toxic waste and obligations to protect public health and the environment. While the Group has not had any material non-compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations to date, there is no assurance that it will continue to be in compliance with all the applicable laws and regulations, and the Group may incur additional costs in complying with such laws and regulations. Any violation of the relevant environmental laws and regulations may lead to substantial fines, costs for implementation of preventive or corrective measures, clean-up costs or even suspension of operations that could materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, operations, financial performance, financial condition, results of operations and/or prospects.


The Group is exposed to the risk of non-renewal,non-granting or suspension of its licenses, permits and accreditations that are required to operate its business.

The waste management industry in Singapore in which the Group operates in is highly regulated. The Group’s licenses and registrations are subject to periodic renewal by the relevant government authorities and are generally subject to a variety of conditions which are stipulated either within the licenses and registrations themselves, or under the laws and/or regulations issued by the competent authorities. Failure to comply with such conditions, laws or regulations could result in the revocation, non-renewal or downgrade of the relevant licenses, permits or accreditations and/or imposition of penalties. In such an event, the Group’s business and financial performance will be adversely affected.


Developments in the social, political,regulatory and economic environment in the country where the Group operates, may have a material and adverse impact on the Group.

The Group’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by social, political, regulatory and economic developments in the country in which the Group operates. Such political and economic uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks of war, terrorism, nationalism, nullification of contract, changes in interest rates, imposition of capital controls and methods of taxation. For example, all of the Group’s current operations are located in Singapore, and negative developments in Singapore’s socio-political environment may adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


Disruptions in the international tradingenvironment may seriously decrease the Group’s international sales outside Singapore.

The success and profitability of the Group’s international activities depends on factors such as general economic conditions, labor conditions, political stability, macro-economic regulating measures, tax laws, import and export duties, transportation difficulties, fluctuation of local currency and foreign exchange controls of the countries in which the Group sells its services, as well as the political and economic relationships in Singapore where the Group sources waste materials and jurisdictions where the Group’s end users, traders or overseas refiners are located. As a result, the Group’s sales are vulnerable to disruptions in the international trading environment, including adverse changes in foreign government regulations, political unrest and international economic downturns. Any disruptions in the international trading environment may affect the demand for the Group’s products, which could impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many of the economies in Asia are experiencingsubstantial inflationary pressures which may prompt the governments to take action to control the growth of the economy and inflationthat could lead to a significant decrease in the Group’s profitability.

While many of the economies in Asia have experienced rapid growth over the last two decades, they currently are experiencing inflationary pressures, and the rate of growth is slowing down. The economy in Singapore and globally has experienced general increases in certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, as a result of higher inflation. Average wages in Singapore are expected to continue to increase and the Group expects that its employee costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase. Unless the Group is able to control its employee costs or pass them on to its clients, the Group’s financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

As governments in Asia (and worldwide) take steps to address current inflationary pressures, there may be significant changes in the availability of bank credit, commercial reasonability of interest rates, limitations on loans, restrictions on currency conversions and foreign investment rules, thereby restricting the availability of credit and reducing economic growth. Inflation, actions that may be implemented to combat inflation and public speculation about any possible additional actions also may contribute materially to economic uncertainty in Asia (and worldwide) and accordingly weaken investor confidence, thus adversely impacting economic growth and causing decreased economic activity, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for the Group’s products and services, and consequently have a material adverse effect on the Group’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, more lenient government policies and interest rate decreases may trigger increases in inflation and, consequently, growth volatility and the need for sudden and significant interest rate increases, which could negatively affect the Group’s business. There also may be imposition of price controls. If prices for the Group’s waste disposal services and/or circular products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies and operations, it may have an adverse effect on the Group’s profitability. If these or other similar restrictions are imposed by a government to influence the economy, it may lead to a slowing of economic growth.


Cayman Islands economic substance requirementsmay have an effect on the Group’s business and operations.

Pursuant to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (“ES Act”) that came into force on 1 January 2019, a “relevant entity” is required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as is the Company; however, it does not include an entity that is tax resident outside the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, for so long as the Company is a tax resident outside the Cayman Islands, it is not required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act.


Risks Relating to DT’s Business


DT may not be successful in preservingand enhancing the value of the De Tomaso brand, which DT depends upon to drive demand and revenues.


The De Tomaso brand plays a pivotal role in DT’s business operations and financial performance. The preservation of the brand and its exclusivity, which forms part of the brand, depends highly on the design, performance and build quality of DT’s cars, DT’s after-sales service and the success of various promotional activities such as its model launch campaigns. Maintaining the value of the De Tomaso brand will depend significantly on DT’s ability to continue to produce limited luxury performance cars of the highest quality. The market for luxury automobiles is intensely competitive, and DT may not be successful in maintaining and strengthening the appeal of the De Tomaso brand. Client preferences, particularly among luxury goods, can vary over time, sometimes rapidly. DT is therefore exposed to changing perceptions of DT’s brand image. Any failure to preserve and enhance the value and image of the De Tomaso brand, including in particular, its strong history in motorsports and aura of exclusivity, may materially and adversely affect DT’s ability to sell DT’s cars, to maintain premium pricing, and to extend the value of the De Tomaso brand into other activities profitably or at all.

| 27 |

| --- |

DT selectively licenses the use of the De Tomaso brand and certain intellectual property rights of De Tomaso to various video game developers and entertainment companies. DT depends on these video game developers and entertainment companies to preserve and enhance the value of the De Tomaso brand through automobile-themed video games and movie merchandise. DT may also selectively license the De Tomaso brand to third parties that produce and sell De Tomaso branded products and rely on them to preserve and enhance the value of the De Tomaso brand. If DT’s licensees or the manufacturers of these De Tomaso branded products do not maintain the standards of quality and exclusivity that DT believe is consistent with the De Tomaso brand, or if such licensees or manufacturers otherwise misuse the De Tomaso brand, the integrity and value of the De Tomaso brand may be damaged and DT’s business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

If DT fails to properly understand theirclients’ taste and preferences and design cars that do not appeal to their clients, it may harm its brand and competitive position.


Design and styling are both integral components of the De Tomaso model lineup and the De Tomaso brand. DT has a rich racing heritage, and its current design language in its revival model the P72 is inspired by the original De Tomaso P70, an iconic sports car developed in the 1960s by Alejandro de Tomaso, the founder of De Tomaso, and designed by Peter Brock, that is renowned for its powerful powertrain and super-light chassis. DT aims to incorporate the same level of mechanical synergy between man and machines as enshrined in the original De Tomaso P70 in its revival model lineups. As the automotive industry continues to move towards electrification, DT believes its clients purchase its cars not just for their timeless design and supreme performance but also for the nostalgic analogue driving experience. However, DT will need to update over time the style and mechanical configuration of its cars to differentiate its future models from its current models, and to reflect the broader evolution of aesthetics in its markets. If the design of its future models fails to meet the evolving tastes and preferences of DT’s clients and prospective clients while also maintaining DT’s distinctive identity in its cars, it may harm the De Tomaso brand and its competitiveness.

The value of the De Tomaso brand dependsin part on the automobile collector and enthusiast community.


An important factor in the connection of clients to the De Tomaso brand is its strong relationship with the active global community of automotive collectors and enthusiasts, particularly collectors and enthusiasts of hypercars. This is influenced by DT’s close ties to the automotive collectors’ community and DT’s support of related events, such as car shows and driving events, specifically DT’s own factory-run drivers programme (De Tomaso Competizione) which will enable owners of the P900 around the globe to connect and share their passion for driving excellence at a range of world-class race circuits and participate in driver training programs and a yearly calendar of factory-supported track events. The support of this community also depends upon the perception of DT’s cars as collectibles which DT strives to protect through its right to repurchase its cars for up to two years after delivery in order to protect the secondary market.

If there is a change in collector appetite or damage to the De Tomaso brand, DT’s ties to and the support it receives from this community may be diminished. Such a loss of enthusiasm for DT’s cars from the automotive collectors’ community could harm the perception of the De Tomaso brand and adversely impact its sales and profitability.

If DT’s cars do not perform as expected,it may harm DT’s ability to develop, market and sell its cars.


DT’s cars may suffer design or manufacturing defects that may cause them not to perform as expected or require after-sale repair. There can be no assurance that DT will be able to detect and fix any defects in the cars prior to their delivery to clients. DT’s cars may not perform in line with its clients’ evolving expectations or in a manner that meets or exceeds the performance of other cars currently available. For example, DT’s cars may not have the same level of durability or longevity or be as easy to repair as other cars currently on the market. Any product defects or any other failure of its cars to perform as expected could harm DT’s reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, harm to the De Tomaso brand and reputation, and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results and financial condition.

DT faces competition in the luxury performancecar industry.


DT faces competition in certain product categories and markets in which it operates. DT competes with other international luxury performance car manufacturers which own and operate well-known brands of high-quality cars, some of which form part of larger automotive groups and may have greater financial resources and bargaining power with suppliers than DT does, particularly in light of DT’s strategy to produce vehicles for a limited group of owners in order to preserve and enhance the exclusivity of its cars. DT believes that it competes primarily on the basis of its rich racing heritage, the timeless design and supreme performance of its cars, and most importantly, the nostalgic analogue driving experience that its cars offer. If DT is unable to compete successfully, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

DT depends on the strength of its trademarksand other intellectual property rights.


DT believes that its trademarks and other intellectual property rights are fundamental to its success and market position. Therefore, DT’s business depends on its ability to protect and promote its trademarks and other intellectual property rights, such as its designs. Accordingly, DT devotes substantial efforts to the establishment and protection of its trademarks and other intellectual property rights such as registered designs on a worldwide basis. DT believe that its trademarks and other intellectual property rights are adequately supported by applications for registrations, existing registrations and other legal protections in its principal markets. However, DT cannot exclude the possibility that its intellectual property rights may be challenged by others, or that DT may be unable to register its trademarks or otherwise adequately protect them in some jurisdictions. If a third party were to register DT’s trademarks, or similar trademarks, in a country where it has not successfully registered such trademarks, it could create a barrier to DT commencing trade under those marks in that country.

Third parties may claim that DT infringestheir intellectual property rights.


DT believe that it holds all the rights required for its business operations (including intellectual property rights and third-party licenses). However, DT are exposed to potential claims from third parties alleging that it infringes their intellectual property rights, since many competitors and suppliers also submit patent applications for their inventions and secure patent protection or other intellectual property rights. If DT is unsuccessful in defending against any such claim, it may be required to pay damages or comply with injunctions which may disrupt its operations. As a result, DT may also be forced to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms or to redesign products to comply with third parties’ intellectual property rights.

DT has a limited operating history sinceits brand revival and its ability to develop, manufacture, and deliver cars of high quality and appeal to customers, on schedule, isunproven and still evolving.


DT’s first revival model, the P72, was officially launched in 2019 and DT is on course to deliver this model to markets worldwide by the end of 2025. DT currently has two models in its revival lineup under the “P” series, namely the P72 and P900, and the P72 vehicles are fully allocated and substantially oversubscribed. Although there is a clear demand for DT’s cars, there is very limited historical basis to support the demand for DT’s cars in the future or DT’s ability to develop, manufacture, and deliver cars on schedule. It is also difficult to predict DT’s future revenues and appropriately budget for its expenses.

Furthermore, DT relies on third-party manufacturing and development partners for the provision and development of many of the key components and materials used in its cars. To the extent its manufacturing and development partners experience any difficulties in providing DT with or developing necessary components, DT could experience delays in delivering cars to its clients. Any delay in the development, manufacturing, and delivery of any current or future car models, or in performing facelifts to existing car models, could subject DT to customer complaints and cancellation of order, which could in turn, materially and adversely affect its reputation, demand for its vehicles, and ultimately, its business, financial condition, and operating results.

| 29 |

| --- |

Although the P72 vehicles are fully allocatedand oversubscribed, some customers may cancel their orders despite their deposit payment.


DT’s customers may cancel their orders for many reasons that are beyond its control. Due to the nature of DT’s cars, they require long development time, and the lead time between ordering to delivery could impact customer decisions on whether to terminate the order, due to factors that are beyond DT’s control. If DT encounters further delays in the deliveries of the P72, or if the finalized design and specifications do not match the prototypes that DT developed, orders may be cancelled. As a result, DT cannot assure you that orders will not be cancelled or that such orders will ultimately result in the final purchase, delivery, and sale of the cars. Such cancellations could harm DT’s business, brand image, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

DT’s business is subject to changesin client preferences and automotive trends.


DT’s success depends in part on its ability to keep abreast of automotive trends while maintaining its distinctive identity in its cars. Evaluating and responding to client preferences has become more complex in recent years, due to the speed in which trends evolve. DT is committed to anticipate and respond promptly to changing client demands and automotive trends in the design, styling, technology, production, merchandising and pricing of its cars while still maintaining its identity and positioning. If DT misjudges the market for its cars, DT and its dealers and wholesalers may face a lower demand for its cars. In addition, there can be no assurance that DT will be able to produce, distribute and market new cars efficiently or that any product category that DT may expand or introduce will achieve sales levels sufficient to generate profits. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.


DT relies on its dealer and wholesalernetwork to provide sales and services.


DT does not own any of its dealerships, and a substantial portion of its sales are made through its network of dealers and wholesalers located throughout the world. DT’s authorized dealers also provide after-sales services, including repair and maintenance services, for DT’s customers. If DT’s dealers and wholesalers are unable to provide sales or service quality that its clients expect or do not otherwise adequately present the De Tomaso brand, its brand prestige may be negatively affected. DT depends highly on the quality of its dealer and wholesaler network, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if its dealers or wholesalers suffer financial difficulties or are otherwise unable to perform to DT’s brand standards.

Part of DT’s growth strategy also depends on its ability to attract quality new dealers or wholesalers to sell its cars in new geographical areas. DT may face competition from other luxury performance car manufacturers in attracting quality new dealers or wholesalers, based on, among other things, dealer margin, incentives and the performance of other dealers or wholesalers in the respective geographical areas.

DT’s reliance on a variety of agreementswith various manufacturing and development partners, including agreements related to research and development, procurement, manufacturing,and engineering, could subject DT to risks.


DT adopts an asset-light structure in its business operations and relies on a variety of agreements, including those related to research and development, procurement, manufacturing, and engineering entered into with various manufacturing and development partners. DT’s reliance on these agreements subjects DT to a number of significant risks, including the risk of being unable to operate as a standalone business, launch new vehicles, reach its development and production targets or focus its efforts on core areas of differentiation.

DT cannot provide any assurance as to whether these manufacturing and development partners will be able to develop and manufacture cars that meet the quality, price, engineering, design, and production standards, required to successfully commercialize DT’s vehicles. Even if these manufacturing and development partners are successful in developing and manufacturing such cars, no assurance can be given as to whether they will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including as a result of factors beyond their or DT’s control, such as problems with suppliers and vendors, or force majeure events, or in time to meet DT’s commercialization schedules or to satisfy the requirements of existing and potential customers. Any failure to develop such cars within DT’s projected costs and timelines could have a material and adverse effect on DT’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. There is risk of potential disputes between DT and these manufacturing and development partners, and DT could be affected by adverse publicity related to these manufacturing and development partners whether or not such publicity is related to their collaboration with DT. In addition, although DT is involved in each step of the supply chain and manufacturing process, given that it also relies on these manufacturing and development partners to meet its quality standards, there can be no assurance that DT will successfully maintain quality standards.

| 30 |

DT’s exclusivity strategy of producinglimited number of vehicles may limit potential profits.


Part of the De Tomaso brand is to maintain its exclusivity and that can only be achieved through limiting the number of models and cars it produces, which is also an important reason why DT’s clients are willing to pay a premium for its cars. While important to DT’s current marketing strategy, its focus on maintaining a limited number of vehicles produced and exclusivity limits its potential sales growth and profitability. As part of a public company following the consummation of this Acquisition, DT may from time to time face pressure to demonstrate growth including by increasing the volume of cars it sells. Notwithstanding any such pressure, DT intends to continue to pursue its limited production strategy in order to maintain its exclusivity, while growing volume in a controlled way to respond to growth in emerging markets and demographic changes.

Conversely, if DT were to change its strategy and increase production of its cars more aggressively, it may not be able to maintain its exclusivity, which may in turn lower the desirability and demand for its cars. As a result, if DT is unable to increase its car production volume meaningfully or introduce new car models without eroding its exclusivity, DT may be unable to significantly increase its revenues.

The small number of car models that DTproduces and sells may result in greater volatility in its financial results.


DT currently depends on the sales of a very limited range of car models to generate its revenues. While DT anticipates expanding its car offerings, DT expects that a limited number of models will continue to account for a large portion of its revenues at any given time in the foreseeable future. Therefore, DT’s future operating results depend upon the continued market acceptance of each model in its lineup. There can be no assurance that DT’s cars will continue to be successful in the market. DT would unlikely be able to replace the revenue lost from one of its main car models if it does not achieve market acceptance. There can be no assurance that DT will be successful in developing, producing and marketing additional new car models that will sustain sales growth in the future.

DT’s cars are subject to homologationand motor vehicle safety standards and the failure to acquire homologation or satisfy mandated safety standards in jurisdictions it operateswould materially and adversely affect DT’s business and results of operations.


DT’s cars must meet or exceed all mandated safety standards to be certified under applicable regulations in jurisdictions where DT plans to sell its cars. Although DT manufactures a limited number of cars and its cars are subject to certain exemptions or alternative homologation pathways to the traditional type approval standards that other mass-production manufacturers are required to comply with, such as the European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (“ECWVTA”) under EU Regulation 2007/46/EC in the European Union, and the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (“FMVSS”) administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the U.S., these laws and standards are subject to change from time to time, and DT could become subject to additional safety regulations in jurisdictions that DT sells its cars in the future, which would increase the effort and expense of compliance. As of the date of this proxy statement, DT is in the process of obtaining the Individual Vehicle Approval as an alternative homologation pathway to the ECWVTA under EU Regulation 2018/858 for its P72 in the European Union; DT has also secured a “Show or Display” exemption under the FMVSS and is in the process of expanding the road-legal access of its P72 in the U.S. by partnering with Independent Commercial Importers approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. DT has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, significant costs in homologation in jurisdictions where DT plans to sell its cars.

To the extent that it takes DT longer to acquire or DT eventually fails to acquire or renew safety standard certification in jurisdictions that it plans to sell any of its future vehicles, DT could experience delays in delivering or fail to deliver at all, which would have a material and adverse effect on its reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

New laws, regulations, or policies of governmentalorganizations regarding increased fuel economy requirements, reduced greenhouse gas or pollutant emissions, or vehicle safety, or changesin existing laws, may have a significant effect on DT’s costs of operation and/or how it does business.


DT is subject to laws, regulations and policies that are ever evolving, and DT expects the extent of the legal and regulatory requirements affecting its business and its costs of compliance will continue to increase significantly in the future. In Europe and the U.S., significant governmental regulation is driven by environmental, fuel economy, vehicle safety and noise emission concerns. Evolving regulatory requirements could significantly affect DT’s product development plans and may limit the number and types of cars it sells and the jurisdictions in which it sells them, which may in turn affect its revenue. Governmental regulations may increase the costs that DT incurs to design, develop and produce its cars and may affect its product portfolio. Regulation may also result in a change in the character or performance of DT’s cars which may render them less appealing to its clients. DT anticipates that the number and extent of these regulations, and their effect on DT’s cost structure and model lineup, will increase significantly in the future. DT may have to incur substantial capital expenditures and research and development expenditures in order to stay complied with the stricter laws and regulations in the future, which would have an impact on its cost of production and results of operation.

Changes in tax, tariff or fiscal policiescould adversely affect demand for its products.


Imposition of any additional taxes and levies designed to limit the use of automobiles could adversely affect the demand for DT’s cars and in turn, its operating results. Changes in corporate and other taxation policies as well as changes in export and other incentives given by various governments or import or tariff policies could also adversely affect DT’s operating results. While DT is managing its product development and production operations on a global basis to reduce costs and lead times, unique national or regional standards can result in additional costs for product development, testing, and manufacturing. Governments often require the implementation of new requirements during the middle of a product cycle, which can be substantially more expensive than accommodating these requirements during the design of a new product. The imposition of any additional taxes and levies or change in government policy designed to limit the use of high-performance sports cars more generally could also adversely affect the demand for DT’s cars. The occurrence of the above may have a material adverse effect on DT’s business, operating results and financial condition.

DT may become subject to product liabilityclaims, which could harm its financial condition and liquidity if it fails to successfully defend or insure against such claims.


DT may become subject to product liability claims, which could harm its business, operating results and financial condition. The automobile industry experiences significant product liability claims, and DT has an inherent risk of exposure to claims in the event that its cars do not perform as expected or malfunction resulting in personal injury or death. A successful product liability claim against DT could require it to pay a substantial monetary award. Moreover, a product liability claim could generate substantial negative publicity about DT’s cars and business, adversely affecting its reputation and inhibiting or preventing commercialization of future cars which could have a material adverse effect on its brand, business, operating results and financial condition. While DT seeks to insure against product liability risks, insurance may be insufficient to protect against any monetary claims it may face and will not mitigate any reputational harm. Any lawsuit seeking significant monetary damages may have a material adverse effect on DT’s reputation, business and financial condition. DT may not be able to secure additional product liability insurance coverage on commercially acceptable terms or at reasonable costs when needed, particularly if DT faces liability for its products and is forced to make a claim under such a policy.

DT is exposed to risks in connection withproduct warranties as well as the provision of services.


A number of DT’s contractual and legal requirements oblige it to provide extensive warranties to its clients, dealers and wholesalers. There is a risk that, relative to the guarantees and warranties granted, the calculated product prices and the provisions for DT’s guarantee and warranty risks have been set or will in the future be set too low. There is also a risk that DT will be required to extend the guarantee or warranty originally granted in certain markets for legal reasons, or provide services as a courtesy or for reasons of reputation where DT is not legally obliged to do so, and for which DT will generally not be able to recover from suppliers or insurers.

DT may be compelled to undertake productrecalls or other actions, which could adversely affect its brand image, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.


DT’s cars are subject to recalls, which may cause adverse publicity, damage to its brand, and liability for costs. In the future, DT may at various times, voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of its vehicles, including any systems or parts developed or sourced by its manufacturing and development partners, prove to be defective or noncompliant with applicable laws and regulations. Such recalls, whether voluntary or involuntary, could involve significant expense and could adversely affect DT’s brand image in its target markets, as well as DT’s business, financial condition, operating results, and growth prospects.

Improper conduct of employees, agents,or other representatives could adversely affect DT’s reputation and its business, operating results, and financial condition.


DT’s compliance controls, policies, and procedures may not in every instance protect it from acts committed by its employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which DT operates, including employment, foreign corrupt practices, environmental, competition, and other laws and regulations. Such improper actions could subject DT to civil claims or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties. In particular, its business activities may be subject to anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which DT operates. If DT fails to comply with any of these laws or regulations, it could adversely impact its operating results and its financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage its reputation and its ability to conduct business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving any actual or alleged violation is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of DT’s management.

DT’s insurance coverage may not be adequateto protect DT against all potential losses to which it may be subject, which could have a material adverse effect on its business.


DT maintains insurance coverage that its executive management believes is adequate to cover normal risks associated with the operation of its business. However, there can be no assurance that any claim under DT’s insurance policies will be honored fully or timely, its insurance coverage will be sufficient in any respect or its insurance premiums will not increase substantially. Accordingly, to the extent that DT suffers loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or which exceeds its insurance coverage, or has to pay higher insurance premiums, DT’s financial condition may be affected.

A disruption in DT’s information technologycould compromise confidential and sensitive information.


DT’s ability to keep its business operating effectively depends on the functional operation of its information technology and data processing systems, including but not limited to its car design and logistics management systems. These systems are susceptible to malfunction and interruption due to equipment damage, power outages, and a range of other hardware, software and network problems. They are also susceptible to cybercrime, or threats of intentional disruption, which may result in system malfunctions or interruptions. Any significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of DT’s information technology or data processing systems could adversely affect its ability to manage and keep its operations running efficiently.

In addition, DT uses its systems to collect and store confidential and sensitive data, including information about its business, customers and employees. Much of DT’s value is derived from its confidential business information, including car design, proprietary technology and trade secrets, and to the extent the confidentiality of such information is compromised, DT may lose its competitive advantage, and its vehicle sales may also be adversely affected. In the event of a breach in security that allows third parties access to such personal information as collected, retained and used by DT, DT’s business operations and reputation may suffer and DT may also be subject to lawsuits, fines and other means of regulatory enforcement.

| 33 |

| --- |

If DT fails to maintain an effective systemof internal control over financial reporting, it may be unable to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud, and investorconfidence in DT and the market price of its securities may be adversely affected.


Upon completion of the consummation of the Acquisition, DT will become subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, will require that DT includes a report from management on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 20-F. In addition, once DT ceases to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 or JOBS Act, DT’s independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. DT’s management may conclude that its internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if DT’s management concludes that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, its independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with DT’s internal controls or the level at which its controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from DT. In addition, after the Acquisition is consummated, its reporting obligations may place a significant strain on DT’s management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. DT may be unable to timely complete its evaluation testing and any required remediation.


During the course of documenting and testing DT’s internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, DT may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in its internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if DT fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, DT may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If DT fails to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, DT could suffer material misstatements in its financial statements and fail to meet its reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information. This could in turn limit DT’s access to capital markets, harm its operating results, and lead to a decline in the trading price of securities. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose DT to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject DT to potential delisting from stock exchange(s), regulatory investigations, and civil or criminal sanctions. DT may also be required to restate its financial statements from prior periods.

DT may be subject to legal proceedings inthe ordinary course of its business. If the outcomes of such proceedings are adverse to DT, it could have a material adverse effect onits business, operating results, and financial condition.


DT may be subject to legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, and financial condition. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against DT by its customers, its competitors, governmental entities in civil or criminal investigations and proceedings, or other entities. These claims could be asserted under a variety of laws, including but not limited to product liability laws, consumer protection laws, intellectual property laws, labor and employment laws, securities laws, tort laws, contract laws, property laws, data compliance laws, and employee benefit laws. There is no guarantee that DT will be successful in defending itself in legal and administrative actions or in asserting its rights under various laws. Even if DT is successful in its attempt to defend itself in legal and administrative actions or to assert its rights under various laws, enforcing DT’s rights against the various parties involved may be expensive, time-consuming, and ultimately futile. Such actions could also expose DT to negative publicity and to substantial monetary damages and legal defense costs, injunctive relief, and criminal, civil, and administrative fines and penalties.

Global economic conditions may adversely affectDT.


DT’s sales volumes and revenues may be affected by overall general economic conditions. Deteriorating general economic conditions may affect disposable incomes and reduce consumer wealth impacting client demand, particularly for luxury automobiles which may negatively impact DT’s profitability and put downward pressure on its prices and volumes. Furthermore, during recessionary periods, social acceptability of luxury purchases may decrease, and higher taxes may be more likely to be imposed on certain luxury goods including DT’s cars, which may affect its sales. Adverse economic conditions may also affect the financial health and performance of DT’s dealers in a manner that will affect sales of DT’s cars or their ability to meet their commitments to DT.

| 34 |

| --- |

Many factors affect the level of consumer spending in the luxury automotive industry, including the state of the economy as a whole, stock market performance, interest and exchange rates, inflation, political uncertainty, the availability of consumer credit, tax rates, unemployment levels and other matters that influence consumer confidence. Although DT’s cars tend to be fully allocated and oversubscribed, sales of luxury goods tend to decline during recessionary periods when the level of disposable income tends to be lower or when consumer confidence is low.

DT distributes its products internationally and DT may be affected by downturns in general economic conditions or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that may impact the countries in which DT sells a significant portion of its products. In particular, the majority of its current sales are in the EU and in the U.S.; if DT is unable to expand in emerging markets, a downturn in mature economies such as the EU and the U.S. may negatively affect its financial performance. A significant decline in the global economy or in the specific economies of DT’s markets or in consumers’ confidence could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Risks Relating to the Acquisition


If ESGL’s due diligence investigationof DT was inadequate, then ESGL shareholders following the Acquisition could lose some or all of their investment.

Even though ESGL conducted a due diligence investigation of DT, it cannot be sure that this diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside DT or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of DT and its business and outside of its control will not later arise. Even if ESGL’s due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with DT’s preliminary risk analysis.


ESGL and DT have incurred and expect toincur significant costs associated with the Acquisition. Whether or not the Acquisition is completed, the incurrence of these costs willreduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by ESGL if the Acquisition is completed or by ESGL if theAcquisition is not completed.

ESGL and DT expect to incur significant costs associated with the Acquisition. Whether or not the Acquisition is completed, ESGL expects to incur approximately $215,000 in expenses. These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by ESGL if the Acquisition is completed or by ESGL if the Acquisition is not completed.


ESGL’s shareholders will experienceimmediate dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of ESGL ordinary shares as consideration in the Acquisition.Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ESGL’s current shareholders have on the management of the CombinedCompany.

It is anticipated that upon completion of the Acquisition, ESGL’s public shareholders would retain an ownership interest of approximately 1.59% of the Combined Company and the current DT shareholders would own approximately 91.74% of the Combined Company. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed CombinedFinancial Information.”


If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved,and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Proposals, the Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Meetingto a later date in order to solicit additional votes, and, therefore, the Acquisition will not be completed.

The Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Meeting, ESGL is unable to consummate the Acquisition due to insufficient number of votes for the Authorized Capital Increase Proposal, the Share Consolidation Proposal, the Name Change Proposal, and the Amended Charter Proposal. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Meeting to a later date in order to solicit additional votes and, therefore, the Acquisition will not be completed.

A decline in financial forecast or thefailure of actual financial results of DT to meet the forecasted results as disclosed elsewhere in this proxy statement may adverselyaffect the future financial conditions, results of operations and prospects of the Combined Company.

Although the financial forecasts of DT are included in this proxy statement, such forecasts are based on assumptions made by the management of DT and the Group in preparing their financial forecasts, and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of DT and the Group. The financial forecasts may decline or the actual financial results of DT may fail to meet the forecasted results, which may have an adverse effect on the stock price and prospects of the Combined Company.


Risks Relating to the Combined Company’sSecurities Following the Acquisition


The Combined Company may issue preferredshares, the terms of which could adversely affect the voting power or value of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares.

The Combined Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will authorize the Combined Company to issue, without the approval of its shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred shares having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over its ordinary shares respecting dividends and distributions, as the Combined Company’s board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred shares could adversely impact the voting power or value of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares. For example, the Combined Company might grant holders of preferred shares the right to elect some number of its directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences the Combined Company might assign to holders of preferred shares could affect the residual value of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares.


The Combined Company does not anticipatethat we will pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will dependon appreciation in the price of Ordinary Shares.

The Combined Company intends to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of its business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, in the future we may enter into agreements that prohibit or restrict its ability to declare or pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares if the market price of such shares increases.

Certain judgments obtained against us byour shareholders may not be enforceable.

ESGL is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Group conducts most of its operations in Singapore and substantially all of its operations outside of the United States. Substantially all of the Group’s assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our senior executive officers reside outside the United States. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As of the date hereof, there are no officers, directors, or director nominees residing in China or Hong Kong, except for Lim Boon Yew Gary, who is one of our independent directors and resides in Hong Kong. A judgment of a court in the United States predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws may be enforced in Hong Kong at common law by bringing an action in a Hong Kong court on that judgment for the amount due thereunder, and then seeking summary judgment on the strength of the foreign judgment, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is (1) for a debt or a definite sum of money; (2) made by a court of competent jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter; (3) between the same parties on an identical issue; (4) final and conclusive on the merits; and (5) not impeachable according to the rules on conflicts of laws of Hong Kong. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained by fraud; (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; or (c) its enforcement or recognition would be contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong. It will be costlier and more time-consuming for the investors to effect service of process outside the United States, or to enforce judgments obtained from the U.S. courts in the courts of the jurisdictions where our directors and officers reside. For example, to enforce a foreign judgment in Hong Kong, the applicant will be required to apply to the Hong Kong High Court to enforce a foreign judgment (the “Application”) for which the applicant will be required to (i) engage a local counsel to facilitate or prepare the Application; and (ii) go through the standard litigation process to sue on the judgment as a debt. In addition, a judgment of a United States court for civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States may also not be enforceable in or recognized by the courts of the jurisdictions where our directors and officers reside.

Furthermore, as of the date hereof, most of officers, directors, or director nominees reside in Singapore. It is possible that the Singapore courts may not (i) recognize and enforce judgments of courts in the United States, based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States (ii) enter judgments in original actions brought in the Singapore courts based solely on the civil liability provisions of these securities laws. An in personam final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a fixed or ascertainable sum of money is payable may be enforced as a debt in the Singapore courts under the common law as long as it is (i) from a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States and (ii) final and conclusive on the merits under the laws of the United States. Additionally, the court where the judgment was obtained must have had international jurisdiction over the party sought to be bound in the local proceedings. However, the Singapore courts are unlikely to enforce a foreign judgment if (a) the foreign judgment is inconsistent with a prior local judgment that is binding on the same parties; (b) the enforcement of the foreign judgment would contravene the public policy of Singapore; (c) the proceedings in which the foreign judgment was obtained were contrary to principles of natural justice; (d) the foreign judgment was obtained by fraud; or (e) the enforcement of the foreign judgment amounts to the direct or indirect enforcement of a foreign penal, revenue or other public law. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands, Singapore, and Hong Kong may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands and Singapore, see “Differences in Corporate Law — Enforceability of Civil Liabilities under the U.S. Securities Laws.”


The Combined Company’s share pricemay be volatile and could decline substantially.

The market price of ordinary shares of the Combined Company may be volatile, both because of actual and perceived changes in the company’s financial results and prospects, and because of general volatility in the stock market. The factors that could cause fluctuations in share price may include, among other factors discussed in this section, the following:

actual or anticipated variations in the financial results<br> and prospects of the company or other companies in the same industry;
| 37 |

| --- | | ● | changes in financial estimates by research analysts; | | --- | --- | | ● | changes in the market valuations of other waste management<br> companies; | | ● | announcements by the Combined Company or its competitors of<br> new products and services, expansions, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures; | | ● | mergers or other business combinations involving the Combined<br> Company; | | ● | additions and departures of key personnel and senior management; | | ● | changes in accounting principles; | | ● | the passage of legislation or other developments affecting<br> the Combined Company or its industry; | | ● | the trading volume of the Combined Company’s ordinary<br> shares in the public market; | | ● | the release of lockup or other transfer restrictions on the<br> Combined Company’s outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; | | ● | potential litigation or regulatory investigations; | | ● | changes in economic conditions, including fluctuations in<br> global and Singaporean economies; | | ● | financial market conditions; | | ● | natural disasters, terrorist acts, acts of war, or periods<br> of civil unrest; and | | ● | the realization of some or all of the risks described in this<br> section. |

In addition, the stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations from time to time, and the market prices of the equity securities have been volatile and are sometimes subject to sharp price and trading volume changes. These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares.


The sale or availability for sale of substantialamounts of ordinary shares could adversely affect their market price.

Sales of substantial amounts of the ordinary shares in the public market after the completion of the Acquisition, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the ordinary shares and could materially impair the Combined Company’s ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The ordinary shares listed after the Acquisition will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. In connection with the Acquisition, DT and its directors, executive officers, and existing shareholders will exchange the ordinary shares of DT held by them for ESGL ordinary shares upon the consummation of the Acquisition and have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell any ESGL ordinary shares for six months or twelve months, as applicable, after the closing of the Acquisition without the prior written consent of ESGL. Ordinary shares to be held by certain existing shareholders of DT after the Acquisition may be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lockup agreements.

In addition, the Combined Company is not restricted from issuing additional ordinary shares in the future, including securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, its ordinary shares. The Combined Company’s issuance of such additional ordinary shares in the future will dilute the ownership interests of its then existing shareholders. The Combined Company may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of the Combined Company’s business strategy, the Combined Company may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional shares may cause shareholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares.

| 38 |

| --- |


If securities or industry analysts do notpublish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about the Combined Company or its business, its ordinary shares priceand trading volume could decline.

The trading market for Combined Company’s ordinary shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about the Combined Company or its business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the Combined Company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the Combined Company, the trading price for its ordinary shares would likely be negatively affected. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover the Combined Company downgrade its securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, its share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the Combined Company or fail to publish reports on the Combined Company, demand for its ordinary shares could decrease, which might cause its ordinary share price and trading volume to decline.


If the benefits of the Acquisition do notmeet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of the Combined Company’s securities may decline afterthe Acquisition.

The market price of the Combined Company’s securities may decline as a result of the Acquisition if:

the Combined Company does not achieve the perceived benefits<br> of the acquisition as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or
the effect of the Acquisition on the financial statements<br> is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of declining share prices.


Risks Relating to the Combined Company Operatingas a Public Company


If the Combined Company fails to implementand maintain an effective system of internal controls to remediate its material weaknesses over financial reporting, the Combined Companymay be unable to accurately report its results of operations, meets its reporting obligations or prevent fraud, and investor confidenceand the market price of ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Once the Combined Company ceases to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, the Combined Company’s independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of the Combined Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Moreover, even if the Combined Company’s management concludes that its internal controls over financial reporting is effective, the Combined Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting if it is not satisfied with the Combined Company’s internal controls or the level at which its controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from the Combined Company. In addition, the Combined Company’s reporting obligations may place a significant strain on the Combined Company’s management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. the Combined Company may be unable to timely complete its evaluation testing and any required remediation.

During the course of documenting and testing the Combined Company’s internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, the Combined Company may identify weaknesses and deficiencies in the Combined Company’s internal control over financial reporting. If the Combined Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, ESGL may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Generally speaking, if the Combined Company fails to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, it could result in material misstatements in the Combined Company’s financial statements and could also impair the Combined Company’s ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, the Combined Company’s businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of the ordinary shares, may be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose the Combined Company to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject it to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which the Combined Company lists, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. The Combined Company may also be required to restate its financial statements from prior periods. the Combined Company will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

| 39 |

| --- |

The Combined Company is a public company and expects to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, the Combined Company needs to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. Operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and the Combined Company may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, the Combined Company will incur additional costs associated with its public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for ESGL to find qualified persons to serve on its Board of Directors or as executive officers.

After the Combined Company is no longer an “emerging growth company,” the Combined Company may incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC.


Because the Combined Company is a foreignprivate issuer and is exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protectionthan you would have if it were a domestic issuer.

The Combined Company’s status as a foreign private issuer exempts it from compliance with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements if it instead complies with the statutory requirements applicable to a Cayman Islands exempted company. The statutory requirements of the Combined Company’s home country of Cayman Islands, do not strictly require a majority of its board to consist of independent directors. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of the Combined Company, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight of the management the company may decrease as a result. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have an independent compensation committee with a minimum of two members, a nominating committee, and an independent audit committee with a minimum of three members. The Combined Company, as a foreign private issuer, with the exception of needing an independent audit committee composed of at least three members, is not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may also require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters that the Combined Company’s home country’s rules do not. Following Cayman Islands governance practices, as opposed to complying with the requirements applicable to a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq, may provide less protection to you than would otherwise be the case.


Although as a foreign private issuer, theCombined Company is exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to US domestic issuers, if the Combined Company cannotsatisfy, or continue to satisfy, the initial listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, the Combined Company’s securitiesmay not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively affect the price of its securities and your ability to sell them.

The Combined Company will seek to have its securities approved for listing on Nasdaq in connection with the Acquisition. The Combined Company cannot assure you that it will be able to meet those listing requirements at that time. Even if the Combined Company’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, it cannot assure you that its securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq.

In addition, following the Acquisition, in order to maintain its listing on Nasdaq, the Combined Company will be required to comply with certain rules of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum shareholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even if the Combined Company initially meets the listing requirements and other applicable rules of Nasdaq, the Combined Company may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If the Combined Company is unable to satisfy Nasdaq criteria for maintaining its listing, its securities could be subject to delisting.

| 40 |

| --- |

If Nasdaq does not list the Combined Company’s securities, or subsequently delists its securities from trading, the Combined Company could face significant consequences, including:

a limited availability for market quotations for its securities;
reduced liquidity with respect to its securities;
a determination that its ordinary shares is a “penny<br> stock,” which will require brokers trading in the Combined Company ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly<br> result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Combined Company ordinary shares;
limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain<br> additional financing in the future.

You may face difficulties in protectingyour interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because the Combined Company is incorporatedunder Cayman Islands law.

The Combined Company is an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Combined Company’s corporate affairs are governed by its Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the Combined Company’s directors, actions by the Combined Company’s minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of the Combined Company’s directors to the Combined Company under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of the Combined Company’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of the Combined Company’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States and provides significantly less protection to investors. In addition, some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands.

There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although a judgment obtained in the United States will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and (e) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. It may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against the Combined Company or against these individuals in the Cayman Islands in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the applicable securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against the Combined Company’s assets or the assets of the Combined Company’s directors and officers.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like the Combined Company have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. The Combined Company’s directors have discretion under its Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of the Acquisition to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, its corporate records may be inspected by its shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to its shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, the Combined Company’s public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by the Combined Company’s management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a derivative action in a federal court of the United States. As a result, your ability to protect your interests if you are harmed in a manner that would otherwise enable you to sue in a United States federal court may be limited to direct shareholder lawsuits.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

ESGL has fixed the close of business on May 2, 2025, as the record date for determining those ESGL shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. As of the close of business on May 2, 2025, there were 41,816,240 ordinary shares of ESGL issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each holder of ordinary shares of ESGL is entitled to one vote per share on each Proposal. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that shares held beneficially by you are voted in accordance with your instructions.

| 42 |

| --- |


Quorum and Required Vote for Shareholder Proposals

Shareholders representing not less than a majority of the ordinary shares of ESGL issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Meeting must be present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy in order to hold the Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. ESGL’s ordinary shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum if the shareholder (i) is present and entitled to vote at the Meeting, or (ii) has properly submitted a proxy card or voting instructions through a broker, bank or custodian. In the absence of a quorum, shareholders representing a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting may adjourn the Meeting until a quorum is present.

Assuming a quorum is present, approval of the Authorized Capital Increase Proposal, the Share Consolidation Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ESGL, present in person, by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voted at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Approval of the Name Change Proposal and the Amended Charter Proposal will require a special resolution of the shareholders of ESGL passed by the affirmative vote of holders of ESGL ordinary shares representing at least two-thirds of the votes of the ESGL ordinary shares present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the shareholders of ESGL or approved in writing by all the holders of ESGL ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Meeting. With respect to each Proposal in this proxy statement, a shareholder may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If a shareholder fails to return a proxy card or fails to instruct a broker or other nominee how to vote, and does not attend the Meeting in person, then the shareholder’s shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Meeting and will have no effect on any of the Proposals.


Voting Your Shares

Each ordinary share of ESGL that you own entitles you to one vote on each Proposal for the Meeting. Your proxy card shows the number of ordinary shares of ESGL that you own.

There are two ways to ensure that your ordinary shares of ESGL are voted at the Meeting:

You can vote your shares by signing, dating and returning<br> the enclosed proxy card in the pre-paid postage envelope provided. If you submit your proxy card, your “proxy,” whose<br> name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card<br> but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will not count as votes cast at the Meeting and will have no<br> effect on any of the Proposals. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” each of the Proposals. If you hold your ordinary shares<br> in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the<br> instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that the votes related to the shares you beneficially own<br> are properly represented and voted at the Meeting.
You can participate in the Meeting virtually and vote during<br> the Meeting even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy as described above. However, if your shares are held in the name<br> of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way ESGL can<br> be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

IF YOU RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE, YOUR SHARES WILL NOT COUNT AS VOTES CAST AT THE MEETING AND WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON ANY OF THE PROPOSALS.


Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

you may send another proxy card with a later date;
| 43 |

| --- | | ● | if you are a record holder, you may notify the Company in writing before the Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or | | --- | --- | | ● | you may participate in the Meeting virtually, revoke your<br> proxy, and vote during the Meeting, as indicated above. |


Who Can Answer Your Questions About VotingYour Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares, you may contact the Company.


No Additional Matters May Be Presented atthe Meeting

This Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Authorized Capital Increase Proposal, the Share Consolidation Proposal, the Name Change Proposal, the Amended Charter Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.


Dissenter Rights

Dissenter rights are not available to ESGL or ESGL shareholders in connection with the Acquisition.


Proxies and Proxy Solicitation Costs

ESGL and its directors, officers and employees are soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone, in person or by other electronic means. Any solicitation made and information provided in such a solicitation will be consistent with the written proxy statement and proxy card. ESGL will bear the cost of solicitation.

ESGL will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. ESGL will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE AUTHORIZED CAPITALINCREASE PROPOSAL

The Board is requesting shareholder approval by way of an ordinary resolution of an increase in the authorized share capital from US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of US$0.0001 each to US$300,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.0001 each of such class or classes (however designated) as our Board may determine in accordance with our memorandum and articles of association (the “Authorized Capital Increase”).

The additional ordinary shares to be authorized by the Authorized Capital Increase would have rights identical to the currently issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The approval of the Authorized Capital Increase and issuance of the ordinary shares would not affect the rights of the holders of currently issued and outstanding ordinary shares, except for effects incidental to increasing the number of our ordinary shares, such as dilution of the earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of ordinary shares.

The additional authorized but unissued undesignated shares may be designated by the Board in its absolute discretion as one or more classes or series of shares as they deem necessary or appropriate in accordance with our memorandum and articles of association. Our memorandum and articles of association provide that the Board may, without further action by our shareholders, determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights attaching to such shares, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the powers, preferences, privileges and rights associated with the then issued and outstanding shares, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper.


Background

In addition to the 41,816,240 ordinary shares issued and outstanding on May 2, 2025, we have also reserved, as of May 2, 2025, 11,158,581 ordinary shares for issuance upon exercise of private and public warrants, meaning that we have 447,025,179 authorized shares available for issuance, which is insufficient to meet our needs in connection with the Acquisition.


Purpose of the Authorized Capital IncreaseProposal

The Board is recommending the Authorized Capital Increase to provide our company with the ability to issue the requisite number of ordinary shares to the DT shareholders upon consummation of the Acquisition and to provide us with appropriate flexibility to issue additional shares in the future on a timely basis if such need arises in connection with potential financings, business combinations or other corporate purposes. Approval of the Authorized Capital Increase could enable us to take advantage of market conditions, the availability of more favorable financings, and opportunities for business combinations and other strategic transactions, without the potential delay and expense associated with convening a special shareholders’ meeting.

Our success also depends in part on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management and key personnel. If this proposal is not approved by our shareholders, the lack of unissued and unreserved authorized shares to provide future equity incentive opportunities could adversely impact our ability to achieve these goals. In short, if our shareholders do not approve this proposal, we will not be able to close the Acquisition and in addition, may not be able to access the capital markets, complete corporate collaborations or partnerships, attract, retain and motivate employees, and pursue other business opportunities integral to our growth and success.

The Authorized Capital Increase will not, by itself, have an immediate dilutive effect on our current shareholders. However, if this proposal is approved, unless otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, the Board will be able to issue the requisite number of ordinary shares to the DT shareholders upon consummation of the Acquisition and additional shares from time to time in its discretion without further action or authorization by the shareholders. The newly authorized shares would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including capital raising transactions of equity or convertible debt securities, the establishment of collaborations or other strategic agreements, share splits, share dividends, issuance under current or future equity incentive plans, future acquisitions, investment opportunities, or for other corporate purposes. The future issuance of additional shares or securities convertible into our shares may occur at times or under circumstances that could result in a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, book value per share, voting power and percentage interest of the present holders of our ordinary shares.

| 45 |

| --- |

Although the Authorized Capital Increase has been prompted by the terms of the proposed Acquisition and not by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Company aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of it), the Authorized Capital Increase may also, under certain circumstances, be construed as and/or be utilized to have an anti-takeover effect. In addition to the Authorized Capital Increase, our memorandum and articles of association also include other provisions which could be construed as and / or be utilized to have an anti-takeover effect.


The Acquisition Agreement

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which each of these proposals relates. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Acquisition Agreement, a copy of which is attached as AnnexA to this proxy statement.


General Description of the Acquisition


Acquisition Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by ESGL at the closing of the Acquisition to the DT shareholders is $1,030,000,000 (the “Consideration”), which will be paid in 1,000,000,000 newly issued ordinary shares of ESGL (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed issue price of $1.03 per share. In addition, subject to DT and its subsidiaries (the “DT Group”) having achieved the FY2025 Performance Target (as defined below) and the FY2026 Performance Target (as defined below), ESGL shall issue additional ordinary shares to the DT shareholders equal to 5% of the number of Consideration Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) for each fiscal year. The total number of Earnout Shares that may be issued in both FY2025 and FY2026 shall not exceed 10% of the number of the Consideration Shares. In the event that the FY2025 Performance Target is not satisfied by the end of 2025 but the FY2025 Performance Target and the FY2026 Performance Target have been satisfied by the end of FY2026, all of the Earnout Shares in respect of both fiscal years (to the extent not yet issued) shall be issued to the DT shareholders. The “FY2025 Performance Target” means 36 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year. The “FY2026 Performance Target” means 74 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year.

After the Acquisition, ESGL’s current public shareholders will own approximately 1.59% of the issued share capital of ESGL and DT’s current shareholders will own approximately 91.74% of the issued share capital of ESGL.

Assuming the Proposals are approved, ESGL expects to close the Acquisition in the second quarter of 2025.

Background of the Acquisition


ESGL Board’s Reasons for the Approvalof the Acquisition

On February 26, 2025, the Board unanimously determined that the form, terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, including all exhibits and schedules attached thereto and the transactions contemplated therein (including the Acquisition), are in the best interests of ESGL, adopted and approved the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, determined to recommend to ESGL’s shareholders that they approve and adopt the Acquisition Agreement and approve the Acquisition and the other proposals contemplated by the Board resolutions and determined that the foregoing be submitted for consideration by ESGL’s shareholders at the Meeting. When you consider the Board’s recommendation, you should be aware that ESGL’s directors may have interests in the Acquisition that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of ESGL’s shareholders generally.

The Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Acquisition, including but not limited to, the following:

the risk that the potential benefits of the Acquisition may<br> not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.
the risk that DT may not be able to realize<br> its projected business trajectory;
the fact that completion of the Acquisition is conditioned<br> on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within ESGL’s control.
the possibility of litigation challenging the Acquisition<br> or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Acquisition.

While the Board considered potentially positive and potentially negative factors, the Board concluded that, overall, the potentially positive factors outweighed the potentially negative factors. The foregoing discussion is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the information and factors considered by the Board in its consideration of the Acquisition, but includes the material positive factors and material negative factors considered by the Board in that regard.

In view of the number and variety of factors and the amount of information considered, the Board did not find it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, make specific assessments of, quantify, or otherwise assign relative weights to, the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. In addition, individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors. Based on the totality of the information presented, the Board collectively reached the unanimous decision to reach the determinations described above in light of the foregoing factors and other factors that the members of the Board felt were appropriate. Portions of this explanation of the Board’s reasons for the Acquisition and other information presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the section entitled under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In evaluating the Acquisition, the Board consulted extensively with DT’s management and reviewed detailed analyses prepared by ESGL’s management, external legal counsel, financial advisors, and other professional consultants. ESGL’s management, with the assistance of these advisors, conducted an extensive financial, operational, legal, and market due diligence review of DT, including the following:

Participated in<br> multiple meetings with DT’s senior management.
Reviewed DT’s<br> business model, historical audited and unaudited financial statements, and other financial<br> and operational information.

The professional advisors engaged by ESGL to assist in the due diligence process included:

Taylor Wessing<br> LLP — Legal counsel to ESGL, responsible for conducting legal due diligence, including<br> review of DT’s corporate structure, material agreements, compliance with laws and regulations,<br> and other legal matters related to the Acquisition.
Altus Advisory<br> — Financial advisor to ESGL, engaged to conduct financial due diligence on DT, including<br> the review of historical financial results and analysis of business forecasts.
--- ---
Marshall Stevens<br> LLP — Independent financial advisor engaged to provide a fairness opinion to the ESGL<br> Board regarding the Acquisition.
--- ---
Internal ESGL<br> Team — ESGL’s in-house finance, legal, and operations teams conducted operational<br> due diligence, including evaluations of DT’s operational capabilities, management team,<br> and post-acquisition integration readiness.
--- ---

Each of these advisors provided written and/or oral reports of their findings, which were carefully reviewed and considered by the Board.

In reaching its unanimous decision to approve the Acquisition, the Board considered a variety of material factors supporting its determination, including, without limitation:

The business,<br> history, reputation, credibility, prospects, and valuation of DT and its affiliates.
The strategic<br> and operational benefits expected to be realized from combining DT with ESGL’s platform,<br> including opportunities for expansion and diversification.
--- ---
The strength and<br> experience of DT’s management team and their ability to execute the business plan.
--- ---
The belief that<br> the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, including the representations, warranties, covenants,<br> and conditions to the parties’ respective obligations, are reasonable and customary<br> for a transaction of this nature.
--- ---
The opinion of<br> Marshall Stevens LLP that, as of February 26, 2025, and based upon and subject to the assumptions<br> made, procedures followed, matters considered, and limitations set forth therein, the consideration<br> to be paid by ESGL in the Acquisition was fair, from a financial point of view, to ESGL and<br> its shareholders.
--- ---

In reaching its unanimous resolution as described above, the Board considered a variety of factors pertaining to the Acquisition as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Acquisition Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to, the following:

the business, history,<br> prospects, credibility and valuation of DT and its affiliates;
| 50 |

| --- | | ● | the likelihood that the Acquisition will be completed; | | --- | --- | | ● | the management of DT and its ability to realize the business<br> plan and forecasts; | | ● | the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the belief that<br> the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, including the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions to the parties’<br> respective obligations, are reasonable in light of the entire transaction; and | | ● | the view of DT’s management as to the financial condition,<br> results of operations and business of DT before and after giving effect to the Acquisition based on due diligence.] |

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLYRECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE AUTHORIZED CAPITAL INCREASE PROPOSAL UNDER PROPOSAL NO. 1.


| 51 |

| --- |

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE SHARE CONSOLIDATIONPROPOSAL


General

The primary purpose of the Share Consolidation is to increase the per share price of our Ordinary Shares in order to maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Our Board believes that, in addition to increasing the price of our Ordinary Shares, the Share Consolidation would make our Ordinary Shares more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Share Consolidation is in the Company’s and our shareholders’ best interests. The Board is seeking approval from the shareholders to authorize a ratio of 3-to-1 shares for all outstanding shares with all fractional shares rounded up to the next whole share.

No further action on the part of Shareholders will be required to implement the Share Consolidation. See “Procedure for Effecting a Share Consolidation and Exchange of Stock Certificates” below.

Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each Shareholder will hold the same percentage of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately following the Share Consolidation as that Shareholder held immediately before the Share Consolidation.

Certain Risks Associated with the Share Consolidation

While the Board believes that the Company’s Ordinary Shares would trade at higher prices after the consummation of the Share Consolidation, there can be no assurance that the increase in the trading price will occur, or, if it does occur, that it will equal or exceed 3 times the market price of the Ordinary Shares prior to the Share Consolidation. In some cases, the total market value of a company following a Share Consolidation is lower, and may be substantially lower, than the total market value before the Share Consolidation. In addition, the fewer number of shares that will be available to trade could possibly cause the trading market of the Ordinary Shares to become less liquid, which could have an adverse effect on the price of the Ordinary Shares. The market price of the Ordinary Shares is based on our performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of our shares outstanding. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Share Consolidation will result in a per share price that will attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stock.

Principal Effects of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation would have the following effects based upon 41,816,240 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.

If the Share Consolidation is approved at a ratio of 3-to-1 shares:

every three shares of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the<br> Share Consolidation effective date (the “Old Shares”) owned by a shareholder will automatically and without any action<br> on the part of the shareholders be converted into one (1) Ordinary Share (the “New Shares”); and
the number of our Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding will be reduced from 41,816,240 shares to<br> approximately 13,938,746 shares.

The Share Consolidation will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Ordinary Shares and the exchange ratio will be the same for all of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. The Share Consolidation will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Share Consolidation results in any of our shareholders owning a fractional share. As described below, shareholders and holders of options and warrants holding fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Share Consolidation will remain fully paid and non-assessable.

| 52 |

| --- |

Fractional Shares. No fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. Shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of Old Shares not evenly divisible by 3-to-1 ratio, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares of New Shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the shareholder any voting, dividend or other rights except to have his or her fractional interest rounded up to the nearest whole number when the New Shares are issued.

*Options and Warrants.*All outstanding options, warrants, notes, debentures and other securities convertible into Ordinary Shares will be adjusted as a result of the Share Consolidation, as required by the terms of these securities. In particular, the conversion ratio for each instrument will be reduced, and the conversion price or exercise price, if applicable, will be increased, in accordance with the terms of each instrument and based on the ratio of 3-to-1 shares.

Certain Risks Associated with a Share Consolidation

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Ordinary Shares is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of the Ordinary Shares. Other factors, however, such as the Company’s financial results, market conditions, the market perception of the Company’s business and other risks, including those set forth below and in the Company’s SEC filings and reports, including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, may adversely affect the market price of the Ordinary Shares. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Share Consolidation, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of the Ordinary Shares will increase following the Share Consolidation or that the market price of the Ordinary Shares will not decrease in the future.

The Share Consolidation May Not Result ina Sustained Increase in the Price of the Ordinary Shares. The effect of the Share Consolidation upon the market price of the Ordinary Shares cannot be predicted with any certainty and the Company cannot assure you that the Share Consolidation will result in a sustained increase in the price of the Ordinary Shares for any meaningful period of time, or at all. The Board believes that the Share Consolidation has the potential to increase the market price of the Ordinary Shares. However, the long- and short-term effect of the Share Consolidation upon the market price of the Ordinary Shares cannot be predicted with any certainty.

The Share Consolidation May Decrease the Liquidityof the Ordinary Shares. The Board believes that the Share Consolidation may result in an increase in the market price of the Ordinary Shares, which could lead to increased interest in the Ordinary Shares and possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company’s shareholders. However, the Share Consolidation will also reduce the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for the Ordinary Shares. There also can be no assurance the Share Consolidation will enhance the Company’s ability to engage in capital raising activities.

The Share Consolidation May Result in SomeShareholders Owning “Odd Lots” That May Be More Difficult to Sell or Require Greater Transaction Costs per Share to Sell. If the Share Consolidation is implemented, it will increase the number of shareholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 Ordinary Shares. A purchase or sale of less than 100 Ordinary Shares (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those shareholders who own less than 100 Ordinary Shares following the Share Consolidation may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their Ordinary Shares.

The Share Consolidation May Lead to a Decreasein the Overall Market Capitalization of the Company. The Share Consolidation may be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in the overall market capitalization of the Company. If the per share market price of the Ordinary Shares does not increase in proportion to the ratio, then the value of the Company, as measured by the market capitalization of the Company, will be reduced.

Impact of a Share Consolidation If Implemented

The Share Consolidation would affect all holders of Ordinary Shares uniformly and would not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests or proportionate voting power. The other principal effects will be that**:**

the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (and treasury shares, if any), will be reduced<br> proportionately based on the ratio**;**
| 53 |

| --- | | ● | the per share exercise price of all outstanding options and warrants will be increased proportionately<br> and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants will be reduced proportionately;<br> and | | --- | --- | | ● | the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to any outstanding equity awards and any maximum<br> number of shares with respect to which equity awards may be granted will be reduced proportionately. |

Following the Share Consolidation, the Board will have the authority, subject to applicable securities laws, to issue all authorized and unissued shares without further shareholder approval, upon such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. Although we consider financing opportunities from time to time, we do not currently have any plans, proposals or understandings to issue the additional shares that would be available if the Share Consolidation is approved and effected, but some of the additional shares underlie warrants, which could be exercised or converted after the Share Consolidation is effected.

Accounting Matters. The Share Consolidation will increase the par value of our Ordinary Shares proportionally from $0.0001 to $0.0003. There will be no change to the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Ordinary Shares The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Ordinary Shares will be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Ordinary Shares outstanding.

Potential Anti-TakeoverEffect. Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company), the Share Consolidation was not proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our Ordinary Shares or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions having an anti-takeover effect to our Board and shareholders. Other than the Share Consolidation, our Board does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other corporate action that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company.

The number of shares held by each individual shareholder will be reduced if the Share Consolidation is implemented. This will increase the number of shareholders who hold less than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. Typically, the transaction costs to shareholders selling “odd lots” are higher on a per share basis. Consequently, the Share Consolidation could increase the transaction costs to existing shareholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their shares.

The Company is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. If the proposed Share Consolidation is implemented, our Ordinary Shares will continue to be reported on Nasdaq under the symbol “ESGL.” We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

Procedure for Effecting a Share Consolidation

The change in authorized share capital reflecting the share consolidation will be effective at such time as Proposal No. 2 is passed by the shareholders of the Company. The Company will update its register of members to reflect the change in the number of shares held by each shareholder consequent to the approval of the Share Consolidation Proposal.

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S)

AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTILREQUESTED TO DO SO.

DT’S BUSINESS


Overview


DT is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on April 21, 2023. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, DT conducts the operations of DT Group principally through its operating subsidiaries, including DT DE, DT UK, DT HK and DT US.

DT Group is a high-end ultra-luxury automotive group with a rich legacy tracing back to 1959 when the iconic Italian brand was founded by Argentine racing driver Alejandro de Tomaso. Since its reboot in 2019, De Tomaso has established a strong relationship with the active global community of high-end automotive collectors and enthusiasts, particularly within the hypercar sector. Leveraging the experience and expertise of a visionary team led by Choi Sung Fung, or Norman Choi, DT Group has redefined De Tomaso as an ultra-luxury automotive marque, distinguished by high-performance sports cars that merge classically driven design principles with modern engineering. Embracing an analogue-first philosophy and timeless aesthetics, the brand’s revival has resonated deeply with ultra-high net worth individuals worldwide, evidenced by overwhelming demand and a growing global following. To date, DT Group has launched two models of limited-edition sports cars under the “P” series, namely P72 and P900, with targeted delivery of the first batch of vehicles by the end of 2025.

History


Founded in 1959 in Modena, Italy by Argentine-born racing driver and visionary industrialist Alejandro de Tomaso, De Tomaso quickly established itself as a pioneering force in motorsport and sports car design. Initially focused on crafting racing prototypes and mid-engine competition vehicles, the brand made its mark across several prominent racing categories, including Formula Junior, Formula 3, Formula 2, and Formula 1.

By the early 1960s, De Tomaso’s innovative chassis designs and engineering ingenuity attracted a growing circle of affluent privateers – often referred to as gentleman drivers – who sought performance and individuality on the racetrack. DT sought to expand its motorsport ambitions, fielding cars in international competitions such as the World Sports Car Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Parallel to its racing endeavors, De Tomaso began producing road cars that captured the spirit of motorsport engineering for everyday enthusiasts. The most iconic of these was the Pantera, introduced in 1971—a mid-engined sports car powered by a V8 that fused Italian design with American muscle. Over 7,000 Panteras were produced between 1971 and 1992, cementing De Tomaso’s legacy in the annals of high-performance automotive design.

Following the passing of Alejandro de Tomaso in 2003, the marque entered a prolonged period of dormancy, and the company then running the De Tomaso business was subsequently placed into liquidation. Yet, the De Tomaso name endured – an emblem of visionary engineering, racing spirit, and uncompromising design.

In 2015, the De Tomaso marque was revitalized under the leadership of Norman Choi, who—through DT UK—acquired the intellectual property rights and key assets of the historic brand. Guided by a bold vision, Choi assembled a world-class team of seasoned industry talent with a singular mission: to restore De Tomaso’s prestige and reestablish its presence in the rarefied world of ultra-luxury hypercars.

Choi’s vision materialized in 2019 with the debut of the P72, a tribute to the brand’s motorsport heritage and 60’s design legacy. Conceived as a modern icon with a strictly analogue soul, the P72 was announced as a limited-production model, with just 72 units planned for global release. Since its unveiling, the entire production run has been fully allocated, with each vehicle commanding an average price of €1.7 million – underscoring both the market demand and the brand’s renewed desirability.

That same year, anticipating a renaissance in analogue automotive experiences among discerning collectors, the De Tomaso team conjured a ten-year product strategy. This roadmap was built around three foundational pillars: a reverent connection to De Tomaso’s rich racing lineage, a commitment to purely analogue driving engagement, and an uncompromising approach to timeless automotive design. Through this philosophy, De Tomaso aims not only to recapture its legendary status, but to redefine the future of ultra-luxury performance motoring.

Competitive Strengths


65 Years of Heritage, Reignited by Demandfrom Discerning Collectors all over the World


DT draws upon over 65 years of heritage and the enduring prestige of its iconic name – long revered among automotive connoisseurs. Since its revitalization, the brand has witnessed a remarkable resurgence in demand for its ultra-luxury hypercars, particularly from a global community of ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals.

To preserve the exclusivity and integrity of the brand, each limited-edition vehicle is allocated only after a thorough interview and vetting process, ensuring alignment with De Tomaso’s values and vision. The P72, the brand’s flagship revival model, has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm. It was significantly oversubscribed upon launch, and today, more than 1,500 prospective clients remain on a growing registration of interest list—eager not only for the P72, but also for future offerings that embody De Tomaso’s signature blend of heritage, craftsmanship, and performance.

Proven Track Record of Management Team


Under the leadership of Norman Choi, who brings over 12 years of experience in establishing and scaling hypercar marques while cultivating an elite network of UHNW clientele, De Tomaso is guided by an exceptional management team composed of seasoned professionals with deep roots in the performance automotive sectors. The team draws expertise from leading and respected automotive manufacturers, including McLaren and Apollo Automobil – the latter being the modern reincarnation of Gumpert, DT’s team known for reviving the brand through boundary-pushing models like the Apollo Intensa Emozione (IE). This diverse collective brings a rare combination of technical mastery, operational insight, and brand-building prowess.

With a proven track record in revitalizing and positioning hypercar brands, the De Tomaso leadership is united by a shared passion: to elevate De Tomaso as a symbol of prestige, performance, and design excellence. DT believes this highly qualified team is uniquely equipped to realize its ambitious vision and drive the brand’s continued evolution in the ultra-luxury automotive space.


Asset-light Structure


DT operates under an asset-light business model, leveraging strategic partnerships with leading global service providers in technical, engineering and manufacturing domains. A prime example is its collaboration with HWA AG, a renowned German engineering powerhouse recognized for its excellence in motorsport and high-performance automotive development. This model allows DT Group to concentrate on its expected core competencies in design innovation, product conceptualization and development, brand building, and global marketing. By collaborating with world-class partners on specialized functions, De Tomaso ensures uncompromising product quality while maintaining a high degree of operational agility, scalability, and capital efficiency. This approach enables the brand to respond swiftly to evolving market demands without the overhead of traditional manufacturing infrastructure.

Strategies


Expanding global market presence, particularlyin North America, Middle East and Asia


The majority of the customers of DT’s vehicles are UHNW automotive collectors from all over the world who are followers of the De Tomaso brand. Currently, DT Group has authorized luxury automotive dealers and sales agents located in Hong Kong, the Netherlands and the U.S. to cover sales and distribution of its vehicles in Asia, Europe and North America. As it develops a loyal customer base, DT plans to broaden and deepen its market reach and further expand its global presence, and to this end, DT notes the growing community of luxury automotive aficionados in North America, Middle East and other parts of Asia, and is adopting a focused sales strategy to capture market interest and drive brand loyalty in these selected regions.

Accelerating the development and launch ofhigh-performance new vehicle models based on the modular chassis derived from P72


At the core of the P72 lies a bespoke, state-of-the-art carbon-fibre chassis, paired with modular front and rear subframes. Engineered to meet uncompromising standards of rigidity, safety, and lightweight performance, this architecture represents more than just structural innovation—it forms the strategic backbone of De Tomaso’s future product development.

Designed with scalability and adaptability at its core, this advanced modular platform enables the seamless integration of new body designs, powertrain configurations, and performance systems without requiring costly or time-intensive modifications to the underlying structure. As a result, De Tomaso is positioned to dramatically shorten development cycles, reduce engineering costs, and accelerate the launch of future “P” series models. Beyond time and cost efficiency, the modular approach also allows De Tomaso to maintain greater agility in responding to evolving market trends and technological advancements.

Enhancing the De Tomaso brand through strategicpartnerships and exclusive merchandise offerings


To elevate the value, visibility, and cultural resonance of the De Tomaso brand, DT Group has established strategic partnerships with globally renowned video game developers and entertainment companies. These collaborations are designed to expand brand presence through immersive digital experiences and high-profile promotional platforms, reinforcing De Tomaso’s relevance in both the automotive and lifestyle spheres. In addition, De Tomaso continues to align with iconic luxury brands across diverse industries to amplify its reach. For example, the brand’s vehicles have been featured in campaigns with premium fashion labels, showcasing the De Tomaso ethos within a broader context of timeless elegance and design.

As part of its brand engagement strategy, De Tomaso has also launched an exclusive European merchandise collection, featuring high-quality apparel—including hoodies, jackets, T-shirts, polo shirts, and caps —each bearing the iconic De Tomaso emblem. This collection is crafted to appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike, reinforcing the brand’s aspirational identity.

Furthermore, De Tomaso has actively cultivated relationships with influential figures in the automotive world. Through selective placement of the P72 with prominent collectors and celebrity clients, the brand seeks to enhance its credibility, desirability, and positioning within the ultra-luxury segment.

Vehicles


P72


Launched in 2019, P72 stands as the first and flagship model of De Tomaso’s modern era—a bold yet reverent tribute to the legendary P70, originally conceived in the mid-1960s by Alejandro de Tomaso, the founder of De Tomaso, and designed by Peter Brock. Embodying the spirit of that era, the P72 merges classic motorsport inspiration with contemporary engineering, presenting itself as a modern-day classic destined to become timeless.

Visually, the P72 is a masterclass in elegance and proportion. Its flowing silhouette and design cues draw heavily from the P70, invoking a sense of nostalgia and romanticism that harks back to a golden age of mechanical purity. With its analogue-focused approach, the P72 offers an immersive driving experience that celebrates the visceral connection between driver and machine—echoing Alejandro de Tomaso’s original vision and the brand’s rich heritage.

At P72’s core is a bespoke, lightweight carbon-fibre chassis, enveloped by an encapsulating glasshouse that evokes both visual and physical lightness. Performance-wise, the two-seater hypercar is powered by a bespoke 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, delivering 700 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, exclusively paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This configuration delivers a refined yet thrilling analogue experience, designed to resonate with enthusiasts across generations.

Production of the P72 is strictly limited to 72 units worldwide, underscoring its exclusivity.


P72


P900


Aptly named for its 900 horsepower output, the De Tomaso P900 represents the pinnacle of performance and aerodynamic efficiency, drawing direct inspiration from Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1) engineering standards. While pushing the limits of motorsport technology, the P900 remains deeply rooted in De Tomaso’s distinct design DNA—retaining the sculptural beauty and flowing language introduced by its predecessor, the P72.

Conceived as a homage to Alejandro de Tomaso’s enduring passion for motorsport, the P900 is a bold evolution of the brand’s racing pedigree—a modern-day expression of purpose-built performance, fused with elegance and sophistication. The vehicle offers an uncompromising, track-focused experience, designed to replicate the visceral thrill of LMP-style racing in a format tailored for the discerning gentleman driver.

At its heart, the P900 features a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V12 engine—a high-revving, symphonic powertrain that captures the essence of analogue performance. Beyond its raw capability, the P900 celebrates artisanal craftsmanship and bespoke personalization, with each vehicle tailored to the unique tastes and preferences of its owner.

To elevate the ownership experience, De Tomaso offers exclusive access to the De Tomaso Competizione programme—a factory-run initiative that provides P900 custodians with unparalleled track-day support. This includes a dedicated team of engineers and mechanics for setup, tuning, and vehicle transportation, along with entry into a curated calendar of private racing events, driver development sessions, and global track experiences at some iconic circuits in the world.

With production strictly limited to 18 units worldwide, the De Tomaso P900 is not only a hypercar of extraordinary capability—it is a highly exclusive, collectible symbol of the brand’s ongoing renaissance and racing soul.

Sales and Delivery


DT Group sells its vehicles primarily through its authorized network of dealers and sales agents located in Hong Kong, the Netherlands and the U.S., covering principal markets in Asia, Europe and North America. The U.S. dealer and the Hong Kong sales partner facilitate sales of vehicles on a wholesale model, under which they purchase P72 vehicles from DT Group and subsequently resell them to their end customers. The other local sales agents act as intermediaries between their end customers and DT Group, and the vehicles are directly sold by DT Group to the end customers. These dealers, sales agents and partners are carefully selected based on their market presence, reputation, customer service track record, and commitment to brand standards. DT maintains a close relationship with them and will discuss and formulate marketing plans and activities conducted for De Tomaso in collaboration with each other. DT regularly publishes an official price list, quoted ex works, for its vehicles to all of its dealers, sales agents and partners. DT does not provide financing or leasing services to retail customers or dealers.

Potential customers who are interested in purchasing any De Tomaso vehicles are required to register their interest and provide a brief on their professional and personal background and past and current experience in automotive collection. DT then conducts a vetting process with reference to such brief in order to determine the formal allocation of its vehicles. Upon completion of the vetting process, individual customers with allocations granted are required to enter into a standard purchase agreement, which requires a non-refundable deposit. DT reserves the right to repurchase such vehicles for up to two years after delivery in order to protect the secondary market.

As of the date of the proxy statement, all 72 units of the P72 vehicles have been allocated with deposits received, and DT Group has received a strong registration of interest list of over 1,500 applicants for its future product offerings. Delivery of P72 and P900 vehicles to the first batch of customers who have specified their options is expected to take place by the end of 2025.

After-sales Service


DT believes that after-sales service is fundamental to the customers’ experience of quality excellence and continued enjoyment of De Tomaso vehicles. DT’s after-sales service policy includes a comprehensive warranty with a standard 3-year/36,000-mile coverage and global repair and maintenance support through a network of authorized service centers. DT’s authorized dealers also provide after-sales services, including repair and maintenance services, in accordance with DT’s warranty policy and procedures manual. DT will also contract and provide training and support to other qualified repair shops in areas not covered by DT’s authorized dealers (for example, the United Kingdom). Where necessary, DT will provide a “flying doctor” service where DT’s factory mechanics or technicians will personally travel and attend to the vehicle requiring technical support at no extra cost to the customer during the warranty period.

Branding and Marketing


Dealerships


To enhance brand visibility and support the promotion and sales of its vehicles, De Tomaso has established its flagship showroom in the heart of Hong Kong.

Design, Development, Manufacturing and Product Launch


Concept Launch and Vehicle Engineering


A typical production cycle for De Tomaso vehicles starts with concept launch. In this initial stage, DT’s in-house design, engineering and marketing experts collaborate in brainstorming sessions to outline the concept and vision for a new vehicle, and to generate and refine ideas for its appearance, technical features, performance and market positioning. The concept is then incubated and translated into tangible specifications through a vehicle engineering phase, which usually lasts for 24 to 36 months. DT’s engineers and designers collaborate to develop the vehicle’s architecture, including the chassis, powertrain integration, electronics and safety features and other systems. Extensive simulations and computational modelling are conducted by DT’s experts to help refine and optimize the design, ensuring that the new vehicle meets performance and regulatory benchmarks while minimising any future obstacles in production.

| 64 |

| --- |

Prototype Production


After the completion of vehicle engineering, experiential prototypes of the vehicle are created to allow engineers and designers to critically evaluate the incubated concept from the perspectives of aesthetics, ergonomics and user experience and to test the functionality and the user interface of the vehicle physically. During this 6-month period of prototype production, DT Group partners with an established German engineering specialist in the fields of automobile racing and high-performance cars. The German partner has an advanced engineering and manufacturing facility in Affalterbach, Germany with precision assembly lines and a state-of-the art testing center and it is expected to be able to support DT with an annual production capacity of at least 100 units of vehicles.

Testing, Homologation and Final Validation


The next phase is testing and homologation of the structural components and powertrains of DT’s vehicles, which typically last for 12 months. To ensure that all DT vehicles conform to performance, safety, technical and compliance standards, DT teams up with homologation experts with testing facilities and calibration certifications in this stage to meticulously plan and carry out extensive and rigorous testing on its prototypes, including but not limited to crash tests, endurance tests, as well as safety compliance and emission evaluation. To expand road-legal access and enable broader distribution, DT also pursues partnerships with independent commercial importers for vehicle modification and certification of U.S. safety and emission standards. Based on testing results and feedback, adjustments and refinements may have to be made to the vehicle to address any issues identified during the testing stage. This final validation stage usually takes up to six months and entails tweaking design and structural elements and modifying or enhancing certain features of the vehicle. The goal is to confirm that all systems work harmoniously and ensure that having complied with all quality standards, the vehicle is finally production-ready.

As of the date of this proxy statement, DT has secured approval of the Show or Display exemption for P72 in the United States by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For the European Union, DT is adopting the Individual Vehicle Approval strategy to align the design of its vehicles with the relevant EU regulations and directives on safety and environmental standards. For the Asian markets, DT is conducting market-specific assessments and navigating each jurisdiction’s applicable regulatory requirements with precision through partnerships with local experts.


Customization and Delivery


Once the vehicle has been validated and approved for production, the focus shifts to customization and delivery. This phase typically lasts for six to 12 months and involves configuring vehicles to meet specific customer preferences which range from material options to intricate paint packages. When the customized vehicle is ready for delivery, logistics are arranged to transport the vehicles to DT’s dealers, wholesalers or directly to end customers on an ex works basis.

Quality Control


DT recognizes that robust quality assurance is essential for regulatory approval and delivering consistent and reliable results to its valued customers. DT is committed to ensuring that all vehicles it designs, manufactures and delivers embody the highest standard of craftsmanship, as well as conforming to stringent safety and performance standards and applicable regulatory requirements. All of its suppliers and service providers in this process are selected based on their quality certifications, technical expertise, financial stability and geographic proximity.

| 65 |

| --- |

Regulatory compliance plays an important role in DT’s risk management and product assurance framework. DT vehicles must be able to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements in various jurisdictions in order to launch in these markets. DT is fully prepared for the dynamic nature of the regulatory landscapes by engaging experts who are knowledgeable in local regulatory requirements in its relevant markets. Its compliance team is actively and continuously monitoring regulatory changes and devising contingency plans to be implemented to address any challenges ahead. Compliance procedures are also put in place progressively to support the vehicles’ type approval and homologation procedures in the relevant markets.

Product quality assurance is embedded in every stage of production. First, all purchased components undergo quality checks in order to ensure that all the specifications defined in DT’s procurement contracts are fulfilled. DT is also establishing document control and record-keeping systems to ensure the traceability of clear parts, materials, and assemblies and support future audits and regulatory submissions. During the production stage, DT applies multiple rounds of engineering reviews, risk assessments and prototype validation processes in order to ensure that the design intent is upheld. Given the limited number of cars being produced, product assurance during assembly of each of its vehicles is managed through detailed manual checks and continuous hands-on supervision by dedicated experts. DT maintains a practical process for identifying, documenting, and addressing non-conformances. Root cause analysis and corrective action planning are being integrated into its workflow. Going forward, DT intends to introduce more formal in-process inspections and end-of-line testing protocols as its business grows.

Given the nature of product quality assurance as an evolving discipline, DT is continuously reviewing and improving its internal systems and practices against the latest trends, market practice and regulatory landscape and with reference to guidance obtained from various channels, including but not limited to internal evaluation and feedback from customers through its customer engagement team and authorized dealers.


Intellectual Property


DT believes that the integrity of the De Tomaso brand is crucial to its business, and safeguarding its intellectual property rights and ensuring their robustness is fundamental to preserving the reputation and value of the De Tomaso brand and its positioning as a high-end ultra-luxury automotive brand. To this end, as of the date of this proxy statement, DT Group has registered more than 200 trademarks and 30 registered designs in relation to its brand, vehicle architecture and systems in various jurisdictions across the globe, including the United Kingdom, the European Union, the United States, and other major markets. DT Group also owns more than 10 domain names as of the date of this proxy statement.

Competition


DT Group faces competition primarily from other luxury automotive developers and manufacturers. It competes on the basis of factors including but not limited to brand recognition, heritage and prestige, design and styling, performance and functionalities, driving experience, safety and overall quality. Many of DT Group’s competitors are substantially larger in terms of size of operations and capital with stronger brand recognition and may be able to deploy greater resources to support the development, manufacturing, sales and marketing of their vehicles. Despite its limited scale of production and shorter operating history, DT believes that the longstanding reputation and prestige of the De Tomaso brand among sports cars afficionados, its capability of delivering the highest standard of craftsmanship in the design and manufacturing of high-performance sports cars, its unique combination of the romance of Italian styling and state-of-the-art precision engineering and its strategy of establishing a loyal drivers’ community set it apart from its competitors and give it a competitive edge in the market. DT Group’s sales and marketing strategy has been effective in building brand awareness and fostering customer engagement and loyalty and is expected to allow it to establish a stronger position in the market.

Group Structure


DT conducts the operations of DT Group principally through its operating subsidiaries. The following chart summarizes the corporate structure of DT Group as of the date of this proxy statement:


Legal Proceedings


DT Group may from time to time be subject to legal claims and proceedings arising out of its ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, these claims and proceedings may result in substantial costs and diversion of DT’s resources, including its management’s time and attention.

As at the date of this proxy statement, DT is not a party to any ongoing legal proceedings that in its management’s opinion would have a material adverse effect on DT Group.


Regulatory Matters


DT Group has a global operation of vehicle manufacturing and sales, and hence its activities are governed by various laws and regulations concerning environmental, health and safety issues across jurisdictions. These laws and regulations dictate various aspects of DT’s vehicles, such as safety, emissions and fuel efficiency standards. For example, DT is required to adhere to standards regarding emissions, waste management and the handling of hazardous materials, in addition to complying with restrictions on environmental pollution. DT Group’s vehicles and their engines must adhere to extensive regulations at regional, national and local levels, as well as industry self-regulations related to vehicle safety.

Currently, DT enjoys certain regulatory exemptions due to its classification as a Small Volume Manufacturer (SVM) or a similar status in many jurisdictions, including the United States, and its approach of pursuing the Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) process in the European Union. These allow DT Group to benefit from more lenient emissions caps, extended compliance deadlines and relief from zero-emission vehicle production mandates, etc. DT is committed to maintaining substantial compliance with applicable regulations worldwide, continuously monitoring these requirements and adjusting its operations as needed to ensure adherence.

You should read the followingdiscussion and analysis of DT Group’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction DT Group’s unaudited combinedand consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as issued by the IASB, and presentedin U.S. dollars (US$), which is DT Group’s functional currency. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involverisks and uncertainties. DT Group’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in theseforward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risks Relating to DT’s Business”and elsewhere in this proxy statement.


Overview

DT is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on April 21, 2023. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, DT conducts the operations of DT Group principally through its operating subsidiaries, including DT DE, DT UK, DT HK and DT US.

DT Group is a high-end ultra-luxury automotive group with a rich legacy tracing back to 1959 when the iconic Italian brand was founded by Argentine racing driver Alejandro de Tomaso. Since its reboot in 2019, De Tomaso has established a strong relationship with the active global community of high-end automotive collectors and enthusiasts, particularly within the hypercar sector. Leveraging the experience and expertise of a visionary team led by Choi Sung Fung, or Norman Choi, DT Group has redefined De Tomaso as an ultra-luxury automotive marque, distinguished by high-performance sports cars that merge classically driven design principles with modern engineering. Embracing an analogue-first philosophy and timeless aesthetics, the brand’s revival has resonated deeply with ultra-high net worth individuals worldwide, evidenced by overwhelming demand and a growing global following. To date, DT Group has launched two models of limited-edition sports cars under the “P” series, namely P72 and P900, with targeted delivery of the first batch of vehicles by the end of 2025.


Factors AffectingDT Group’s Performance and Related Trends


DT Group believes that the key factors affecting its performance and financial performance include:

(i) The De Tomaso brand: The De Tomaso brand plays a pivotal role in DT’s financial performance, the preservation<br> of the brand and its exclusivity, which forms part of the brand, depends highly on the design,<br> performance and built quality of DT’s cars, the service provided in DT’s dealer<br> and wholesaler network and the success of various promotional activities, which includes<br> but not limited to, its model launch campaigns and digital presence.
(ii) Ties to the automobile collector and enthusiast community: An important factor in the connection of clients<br> to the De Tomaso brand is its strong relationship with the active global community of automotive<br> collectors and enthusiasts, particularly collectors and enthusiasts of hypercars.
--- ---
(iii) Competition within the luxury performance car industry: DT competes with other international luxury performance<br> car manufacturers which own and operate well-known brands of high-quality cars, some of which<br> form part of larger automotive groups and may have greater financial resources and bargaining<br> power with suppliers than DT does, particularly in light of DT’s strategy to maintain<br> low production volumes in order to preserve and enhance the exclusivity of its cars.
--- ---
(iv) Reliance on third-party manufacturing and development partners: DT adopts an asset-light structure in its business<br> operations and relies on a variety of agreements, including those related to research and<br> development, procurement, manufacturing, and engineering entered into with various manufacturing<br> and development partners.
--- ---
(v) Tax, tariff and fiscal policies: Imposition of any additional taxes and levies designed to limit the<br> use of automobiles could adversely affect the demand for DT’s cars and in turn, its<br> operating results. Changes in corporate and other taxation policies as well as changes in<br> export and other incentives given by various governments or import or tariff policies could<br> also adversely affect DT’s operating results.
--- ---
(vi) Global economic conditions: DT’s sales volumes and revenues may be affected by overall general<br> economic conditions. Deteriorating general economic conditions may affect disposable incomes<br> and reduce consumer wealth impacting client demand, particularly for luxury automobiles which<br> may negatively impact DT’s profitability and put downward pressure on its prices and<br> volumes.

Revenue


In the year ended December 31, 2023 (“FY2023”), DT Group dedicated its resources to the research and development of the P72 and P900 prototypes, and transitioned to the production phase of the prototypes in the year ended December 31, 2024 (“FY2024”). During such periods, delivery of the P72 and P900 vehicles have not yet commenced, and as a result, no revenue was recorded for the two years ended December 31, 2024. DT Group expects to generate revenue in the year ending December 31, 2025 as it begins to deliver the first batch of P72 and P900 client vehicles to its customers.


Operating Expenses


DT Group’s operating expenses are mainly comprised of (i) general administrative expenses, (ii) advertising and promotion costs, professional fee, and (iii) research and development costs.

DT Group’s operating expenses increased by approximately US$4.6 million or 79.2%, from approximately US$5.8 million for FY2023 to approximately US$10.4 million for FY2024. Such increase was primarily attributable to (i) the increase of approximately US$2.1 million or 64.3% in general and administrative expenses from approximately US$3.2 million for FY2023 to approximately US$5.2 million for FY2024, primarily due to the increase in wages and salaries paid to new engineers, technicians and operational staff to assist DT with the transition from research and development phase to prototyping and production, and (ii) the increase of approximately US$2.9 million or 155.2% in professional fee from approximately US$1.9 million for FY2023 to approximately US$4.8 million for FY2024, primarily for the purpose of handling matters relating to DT’s ongoing disputes in FY2024.

| 69 |

| --- |

The increase in DT Group’s operating expenses from FY2023 to FY2024 was partially offset by (i) the decrease of approximately US$127,000 or 26.5% in advertising and promotion costs from approximately US$478,000 for FY2023 to US$351,000 for FY2024, primarily due to DT scaling back advertising and promotion activities to dedicate resources towards finalizing the development of P72 prototypes, and (ii) the decrease of approximately US$256,000 in research and development costs from approximately US$256,000 for FY2023 to nil for FY2024, as DT Group did not conduct any research activity during FY2024.


Other Income andExpenses


DT Group recorded other income, net of approximately US$276,000 for FY2024 as compared with other expenses, net of approximately US$856,000 for FY2023. Such change was primarily attributable to the exchange gain of approximately US$47,000 for FY2024 as compared with the exchange loss of approximately US$1.1 million for FY2023, partially offset by miscellaneous income of approximately nil for FY2024 as compared with US$136,000 for FY2023.

In addition, DT Group’s interest expense increased by approximately US$96,000 or 8,522.0% from approximately US$1,000 for FY2023 to approximately US$98,000 for FY2024 primarily due to additional borrowings in FY2024.


Net Loss


As a result of the foregoing, DT Group recorded a net loss of approximately US$10.2 million for FY2024, which increased by approximately US$3.6 million or 53.5% as compared with a net loss of approximately US$6.7 million for FY2023.


Liquidity and CapitalResources


DT was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as a holding company and does not have material operations of its own. DT Group’s consolidated assets and liabilities and consolidated income and expenses are mainly the operation results of its subsidiaries, including DT DE, DT UK, DT HK and DT US. In assessing DT Group’s liquidity, DT Group monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating expenditure commitments. DT Group’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements and operating expense obligations. Historically, DT Group has financed its operations primarily through operating activities such as receiving deposit payments from customers, loans from related parties and third parties as well as the issuance of preference shares.

As of December 31, 2024, DT Group’s working capital was approximately negative US$96.3 million, its cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately US$41,000, its current assets were approximately US$8.1 million and its current liabilities were approximately US$104.3 million.

The following table illustrates the maturity profile of DT Group’s borrowings:

| --- |


Based on DT Group’s current operating plan, DT Group anticipates that it will have greater capital expenditure needs in the next 12 months as it prepares to enter into production phase. DT Group’s future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the commencement of production of its vehicles, the rate of its revenue growth, any introduction of new products, and its expansion of sales and marketing and product development activities. To the extent that DT Group’s cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operating activities are insufficient to fund its future activities, DT Group may need to raise additional funds through bank credit arrangements, public or private equity or debt financings. DT Group also may need to raise additional funds in the event it decides in the future to acquire businesses, technologies and products that will complement its existing operations.


Prepaid expensesand other receivables


DT Group’s prepaid expenses and other receivables represent payments to suppliers for items pending delivery. Such prepaid expenses and other receivables increased by approximately US$1.7 million or 202.6% from approximately US$862,000 as of December 31, 2023 to approximately US$2.6 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the increase in DT Group’s need for raw materials required for development and prototyping activities in FY2024.


Trade Payables


DT Group’s trade payables represent DT Group’s obligation to pay for goods or services in the ordinary course of business. Such trade payables increased by approximately US$2.9 million or 187.0% from approximately US$1.6 million as of December 31, 2023 to approximately US$4.5 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to DT Group’s commencement of prototyping and production activities for the P72 and P900 vehicles in FY2024.


Contract Liabilities


DT Group’s contract liabilities increased by approximately US$41.3 million or 112.2% from approximately US$36.8 million as of December 31, 2023 to approximately US$78.1 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the issuance of a US$35 million gift card to a related party in FY2024 for future purchases from DT in settlement of an equivalent amount then owed to such party.


Capital Commitments


During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no capital expenditure contracted for which was not recognized in the financial statements.


Off-Balance SheetArrangements


DT Group has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.


Significant judgementsand estimates


The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying DT Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The sole director of DT has considered the development, selection and disclosure of DT Group’s critical accounting judgements and estimates.

| 71 |

| --- |


Judgements

In the process of applying DT Group’s accounting policies, the sole director of DT has made the following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:-

Determination offunctional currency

In determining the functional currency of DT Group, judgment is used by the management to determine the currency of the primary economic environment in which DT Group operates. Consideration factors include the currency that mainly influences sales prices of goods and services and the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of its goods and services.

Useful lives of property,plant and equipment

The useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment is estimated at the time the asset is acquired and is based on historical experience with similar assets and takes into account anticipated technological or other changes. If changes occur more rapidly than anticipated or the asset experiences an unexpected level of wear and tear, the useful life will be adjusted accordingly.


Material accountingpolicy information


a) Basis of consolidation

DT Group’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the unaudited financial statements of DT and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2024. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by DT. Control is achieved when DT Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give DT Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

When DT has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, DT Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:-

Power over the investee<br> (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities<br> of the investee);
Exposure, or rights,<br> to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
--- ---
The ability to use<br> its power over the investee to affect its returns.
--- ---

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as DT, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which DT Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when DT has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, DT Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:-

The contractual<br> arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee;
Rights arising from<br> other contractual arrangements;
--- ---
DT Group’s<br> voting rights and potential voting rights.
--- ---
| 72 |

| --- |

DT Group re-assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when DT obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when DT Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date DT Group gains control until the date DT ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of DT and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with DT Group’s accounting policy information. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of DT Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If DT Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in consolidated profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions which are subject to any insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired.

c) Fair value of financial<br> instruments

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts of DT Group’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, deposits, other receivables and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

d) Property, plant and equipment,<br> net

Property, plant and equipment consist of motor vehicles and tools and equipment and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognized includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date. The effects of any revision are recognized in consolidated profit or loss when the changes arise.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognized is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to DT Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in consolidated profit or loss when incurred.

On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognized in consolidated profit or loss.

| 73 |

| --- | | e) | Intangible assets | | --- | --- |

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets consist of trademarks of the brand De Tomaso. They are considered to have indefinite lives since it is expected to contribute to the cash flows of the entity for an unlimited period of time and therefore are not amortized.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured at the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

Research and development expenditure (“R&D”)

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognized if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:-

the<br> technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for<br> use or sale;
the<br> intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
--- ---
the<br> ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
--- ---
how<br> the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
--- ---
the<br> availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development<br> and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
--- ---
the<br> ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its<br> development.
--- ---

R&D costs are currently expensed as incurred and primarily include cost associated with R&D arrangements with external parties in connection with DT Group’s high-performance supercars project.

f) Impairment of long-lived<br> assets and intangible assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use of the asset or cash-generating unit to which it belongs and its fair value less costs to sell, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the consolidated profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss of an asset is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such impairment loss is credited to the consolidated profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

| --- | | g) | Contract liabilities | | --- | --- |

Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of future usage on non-cancellable contracts. The contract liabilities will be derecognized and recognized as revenue when DT Group satisfies its performance obligation by delivering the supercars to its customers.

h) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which DT Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognized when DT Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

Revenue is recognized net of allowances for credits and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. DT Group considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all the following criteria are met:-

1) Identification of the<br> contract with a customer;
2) Identification of the<br> performance obligations in the contract;
--- ---
3) Determination of the<br> transaction price;
--- ---
4) Allocation of the transaction<br> price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
--- ---
5) Recognition of revenue<br> when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when each performance<br> obligation is satisfied by DT Group. An estimate of the variable consideration or performance<br> obligations that DT Group ultimately expects to be entitled to is included in the transaction<br> price, and revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of the related performance obligation(s).<br> An implicit or explicit significant financing component is taken into consideration. Each<br> contract with customers is analyzed for multiple elements to determine if any elements must<br> stand alone as separate performance obligations.
--- ---

Product sale, payment milestone, warranty and commission

The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed price which is agreed with the customer at contract inception. The transaction price is recorded net of any sales return, surcharges and value-added taxes on gross sales, if any. DT Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the purchase orders. Customers’ deposits are required by three or four installments based on the contract terms.

Warranty is provided to customers for three years or a maximum of 36,000 miles per each De Tomaso P72 high-performance supercar.

Commission is provided to car dealers ranging from 10% to 20%.

| 75 |

| --- |

Value-added taxes and surcharges

DT Group presents revenue net of value-added taxes (“VAT”) and surcharges incurred. VAT, business taxes and surcharges collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, are recorded as a liability in the consolidated statement of financial position until these are paid to the tax authorities.

Outbound freight and handling costs

DT Group accounts for product outbound freight and handling costs as fulfillment activities and presents the associated costs in selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which it sells the product.

i) Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and future tax deductions to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and deductions can be utilized. DT Group’s accounting policy is to treat interest and penalties as a component of income taxes.

Current tax assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the subsidiaries operate.

j) Foreign currency transactions<br> and translations

Transactions in a currency other than the US$ are translated into the US$ using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognized in consolidated profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.

All foreign exchange gains and losses impacting profit or loss are presented in statement of comprehensive income within “Other (expenses) and income, net”.

The functional currencies of DT UK and DT DE are currencies other than the US$. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of DT at the exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expense items are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

ESGL Holdings Limited’s Business


Overview

ESGL is a holding company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, ESGL conducts all of its operations through its operating entity incorporated in Singapore, ESA.

ESA is a waste management, treatment and recycling company involved in the collection and recycling of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste from customers such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and electroplating companies. ESA currently has two revenue streams, from: (i) services income which is primarily comprised of the fees it charges its customers for waste collection and disposal services, which fees are similar to those charged by ESA’s competitors, and (ii) the sales and trading of ESA’s circular products that are made and processed from the recycled waste collected from its customers with respect to its waste collection and disposal services, which ESA believes makes ESA a unique and environmentally friendly offering in the marketplace.

A fundamental tenet of ESA is that waste is a resource to be reused, repurposed and recirculated. ESA believes that this mindset of creating commodities from waste sets itself apart from the linear traditional waste industry participants, which largely only generate income from the collection, destruction and disposal of post-collection waste. This philosophy is ingrained and reflected in ESA’s business operations where it utilizes renewable energy and by-products produced from ESA’s waste treatment process to reduce its own operating costs. In line with this mindset, ESA’s primary business focus is the conversion and processing of industrial waste (that would otherwise be unused in the waste recycling process) into circular products such as pyrolysis oil, diesel, metals such as nickel, zinc, copper, silver, gold, minerals such as lime (calcium hydroxide) and fluorspar (calcium fluoride), and chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and calcium chloride. ESA then sells these converted circular products to local and international end users, traders or overseas refiners who require the circular products for their own commercial use or for further processing including manufacturing and galvanizing purposes.

Recent Developments

On February 26, 2025, ESGL entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DT”), and certain of DT’s shareholders named therein, including De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited, a Marshall Islands company, and Ideal Team Ventures Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, pursuant to which ESGL agreed to purchase from the DT shareholders, and the DT shareholders agreed to sell to ESGL, the entire issued share capital of DT (the “DT Shares”), for the Consideration (as defined below), such that upon the closing, DT shall become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ESGL, and the DT shareholders shall become shareholders of ESGL (the “Acquisition”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by ESGL at the closing of the Acquisition to the DT shareholders is $1,030,000,000 (the “Consideration”), which will be paid in 1,000,000,000 newly issued ordinary shares of ESGL (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed issue price of $1.03 per share. In addition, subject to DT and its subsidiaries (the “DT Group”) having achieved the FY2025 Performance Target (as defined below) and the FY2026 Performance Target (as defined below), ESGL shall issue additional ordinary shares to the DT shareholders equal to 5% of the number of Consideration Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) for each fiscal year. The total number of Earnout Shares that may be issued in both FY2025 and FY2026 shall not exceed 10% of the number of the Consideration Shares. In the event that the FY2025 Performance Target is not satisfied by the end of 2025 but the FY2025 Performance Target and the FY2026 Performance Target have been satisfied by the end of FY2026, all of the Earnout Shares in respect of both fiscal years (to the extent not yet issued) shall be issued to the DT shareholders. The “FY2025 Performance Target” means 36 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year. The “FY2026 Performance Target” means 74 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year.

Growth Strategy


We are committed to advancing ESGL’s position as a sustainability-driven, innovation-led organization focused on delivering long-term shareholder value. Our growth strategy is structured around four core strategic pillars : (i) positioning our Singapore operations as a center of excellence for circular technologies, (ii) expanding into overseas markets through recyclable materials offtake, (iii) leveraging partnerships through technology licensing and joint ventures. This strategy supports our broader objective to diversify into sectors where innovation and brand power can drive meaningful growth, enabling us to address emerging opportunities within the global circular economy. (iv) to opportunistically acquire companies in order to diversify our portfolio and to enter into adjacent sectors.

Pillar 1: Singapore Operations – Centre of Excellence for Circular Technologies

We continue to invest in our wholly owned subsidiary, Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (“ESA”), to establish it as a regional center of excellence for circular technologies. Subject to the availability of funding, we plan to expand ESA’s operational capabilities through:

Increasing sludge thermal processing capacity to broaden the<br> types of industrial waste ESA can treat;
Enhancing spent acid treatment capacity through the acquisition<br> of additional reactors, filter presses, and supporting auxiliaries; and
Constructing a high-temperature hazardous waste treatment<br> system designed to improve ESA’s ability to recover valuable materials and generate eligible carbon and plastic credits under<br> Singapore’s regulated environmental credit schemes.
| 79 |

| --- |

We have previously also entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the “JDA”) with Nanomatics Pte. Ltd. (“NMT”), a technology spin-off from Nanyang Technological University, to jointly develop and integrate NMT’s THERMO-CVD process with ESA’s proprietary FR-3 Pyrolysis Technology. The purpose of the collaboration is to convert synthetic gas from plastic pyrolysis into carbon nanotubes and hydrogen. Upon achieving commercially viable outputs in the pilot phase, we intend to explore licensing arrangements with NMT for exclusive use of the technology in Southeast Asia.

Pillar 2: Overseas Expansion – Recyclable Materials Offtake

We believe our business model is scalable and applicable to other regional markets. To this end, we have begun expanding beyond Singapore through the establishment of warehousing and circular product sales infrastructure in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. This facility, launched in late 2024, serves as a base to scale operations and distribute our circular products across Malaysia.

We are also actively evaluating other ASEAN markets where industrial waste management infrastructure is underdeveloped. For example, in Batam, Indonesia—a free trade zone near Singapore with significant manufacturing activity—hazardous waste is currently shipped to West Java for treatment. We believe the establishment of local treatment capabilities could reduce transportation costs for waste generators and provide an effective demonstration of our sustainable waste management model in a cross-border context.

Pillar 3: Partnerships via Technology Licensing and Joint Ventures

We intend to expand our international presence through strategic partnerships and licensing arrangements. Our approach includes:

Protecting and patenting key proprietary technologies and trade secrets;
Entering into licensing agreements with overseas partners to deploy ESGL’s circular technologies<br> in industrial markets similar to Singapore’s; and
Forming joint development programs or joint venture entities to facilitate technology transfer, drive<br> local adoption, and accelerate recycling rates across partner jurisdictions.

Pillar 4: Portfolio Diversification – Entry into Adjacent Sectors

In line with our strategic vision to build a diversified and future-ready business, we are actively pursuing opportunities beyond traditional environmental services. In February 2025, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire De Tomaso Automobili Holdings S.A., an iconic high-performance automotive brand. This acquisition represents a deliberate move into the luxury innovation sector, where we believe our expertise in sustainable materials, engineering capabilities, and brand development can unlock meaningful long-term growth.

We believe the execution of our growth strategy across these three pillars will enhance our competitive positioning, expand our customer and revenue base, and create sustainable value for our shareholders over the long term. We are committed to advancing our business through strategic diversification into sectors where innovation and brand power can drive meaningful growth, reinforcing our position as a differentiated, sustainability-focused organization.

This facility is used for the processing of chemical wastes and the pyrolysis of waste plastics into NewOil. ESGL pays S$2,489.53 per month under such lease, which may be subject to a potential increase of the rent based on the prevailing market rate every year.

ESGL leases another factory space at 110 Tuas South Avenue 3, Singapore 637369 (“110 Tuas”), with approximately 34,000 square feet of facility space, pursuant to a two-year tenancy agreement that terminates on January 31, 2025. This facility is used for the storage of waste and circular products. This facility was integral to ESGL’s supply chain operations and is used mainly for the storage of waste prior to treatment and the Group’s circular products prior to dispatch or export for sales. During October 2024, the Company gave notice to terminate the lease at 110 Tuas and commenced the move of its storage operations to Malaysia. This shift is estimated to reduce the Company’s rental expense by approximately S$17,000 monthly.

In Malaysia, ESGL leases a factory space at PLO 67, Jalan Cyber 2, Kawasan Perindustrian Estate III, 81400 Senai, Johor with approximately 52,270 square feet of facility space, pursuant to a two year tenancy agreement that terminates on October 15, 2026. This facility is integral to ESGL’s supply chain operations and is used mainly for storage of circular products for sale to customers in Malaysia.

ESGL believes that its facilities are adequate to meet its needs for the immediate future, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available on commercially reasonable terms to accommodate any expansion of the ESGL’s operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE GROUP

You should read the followingdiscussion and analysis of the Group’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the section entitled “SelectedHistorical Financial Information of the Group”, the Group’s combined and consolidated financial statements, and the relatednotes included elsewhere in this proxy statement, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, and presented inU.S. dollars (US$), which is the Group’s functional currency. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involverisks and uncertainties. The Group’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated inthese forward- looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewherein this proxy statement.

Overview

ESGL is a holding company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, the Group’s operations are conducted almost entirely through its operating entity incorporated in Singapore, ESA. In late 2024, a subsidiary, ESG Chemicals Sdn. Bhd., was incorporated in Johor for purposes of growing the Group’s business activities in Malaysia.

The Group is a waste management, treatment and recycling company involved in the collection and recycling of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste from customers such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and electroplating companies. The Group currently has two revenue streams, from: (i) services income which is primarily comprised of the fees charged to customers for the provision of waste collection and disposal services, which fees are similar to those charged by the Group’s competitors, and (ii) the sales and trading of its circular products made from recycled waste, which is believed to make the Group a unique and environmentally-friendly offering in the marketplace.

Factors Affecting the Group’s Performance and Related Trends

The Group believes that the key factors affecting its performance and financial performance include:

(i) Continuous Engagement with the Group’s Customers: The Group benefits from its unique approach<br> to waste handling — captive consumption, which has allowed it to capture customers from the target market segment of multinational<br> corporations that aim to meet their environmental, social and governance goals. The Group’s revenue growth largely depends<br> on its ability to retain current customers and attract new customers, including its ability to form relationships with and manage<br> an increasing number of customers. In addition to the traditional means of attracting potential customers via emails, business brochures<br> and LinkedIn, ESA is also a member of the Waste Management Recycling Association of Singapore and the United Nations Global Compact<br> where it actively participates in industry forums to promote the Group’s brand and awareness of sustainable solutions, which<br> has resulted in a substantial increase in customer engagement.
(ii) Manufacturing Activities: The Group derives part of its revenue by charging a disposal fee for the<br> use of its collection and disposal service. Since the Group’s core business is tied to the volume of waste generated by its<br> customers, its revenue growth could be influenced by manufacturing activities which are affected by the global supply and demand,<br> as well as macroeconomic conditions.
(iii) Commodities Price: The Group derives part of its revenue from the sales and trading of its circular<br> products, which typically include zinc, precious metals and base metals. As such, the prevailing market prices and the demand of<br> these commodities will also determine the Group’s profitability and the sale of each commodity, respectively.
(iv) Inflation: While many of the economies in Asia have experienced rapid growth over the last two decades,<br> they currently are experiencing inflationary pressures, and the rate of growth is slowing down. The economy in Singapore and globally<br> has experienced general increases in certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses<br> as a result of higher inflation. Average wages in Singapore are expected to continue to increase and the Group expects that its employee<br> costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase. Unless the Group is able to control its employee costs or<br> pass them on to its clients, its financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Revenue


The Group derives its revenue from (i) thesales and trading of its circular products and (ii) waste disposal services which generally comprises the disposal fees it charges itscustomers for waste collection and disposal services. The Group’s revenue decreased slightly by approximately US$64,000 or -1.0%from approximately US$6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“FY2023”) to approximately US$6.1 million for theyear ended December 31, 2024 (“FY2024”). This was mainly due to the decrease in collection and treatment of chemical wastewhich decreased by approximately US$87,000 and lower sales of circular products which decreased by approximately US$260,000. The decreasein the revenue from the above was mitigated by higher revenue from the collection and treatment of solid hazardous wastes which increasedby approximately US$354,000 during the period ended December 31, 2024.


The decrease in sales of circular productswas primarily attributable to the decrease in sales of base metals which decreased by approximately US$1.1 million (-51.3%) from approximatelyUS$2.1 million in the previous financial year to approximately US$1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Other Income

The Group’s other income is mainly comprised of (i) foreign exchange gain, and (ii) write-back of deferred underwriting fees payable. The following table sets out the breakdown of other income for the periods indicated:

1The Alliance to End Plastic Waste (“AEPW”) is an industry-founded and funded non-governmental and non-profit organization based in Singapore. Founding members include BASF, Chevron Phillips Chemical, ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings, Proctor & Gamble and Shell

The Group’s other income increased by approximately US$257,000 (>100.0%) from approximately US$170,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to approximately US$427,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) foreign exchange gain which increased by approximately US$251,000 in FY2024 compared to the prior financial year, and (ii) the write-back of deferred underwriting fees of approximately US$153,000. The increase in Other Income for the financial year ended December 31, 2024 was offset mainly by a decrease in grants from AEPW and a decrease in warehousing and logistics services which decreased by approximately US$72,000 and US$36,000, respectively.

Cost of Inventory

The Group’s cost of inventory mainly represents costs and expenses attributable to the provision of its circular products and consists of costs arising from the change in inventory balances, the purchase of inventory and costs related to lab sampling and analysis. The Group’s cost of inventory decreased by approximately US$1.2 million (>100%) due mainly to positive movements in closing inventory balance and lower cost of raw materials. The positive inventory movements resulted mainly from the Group gearing up its production for the following:

1) In FY2024, the Group secured purchase orders to supply regenerated calcium hydroxide to one of its major customers, STMicro. This calcium hydroxide is produced from waste collected from another customer;

2) Treatment of chemical wastes collected to extract palladium for sale.

Logistics Costs

The Group’s logistics costs represent costs attributable to the collection of waste and the delivery of its circular products. The Group’s logistics costs decreased by approximately US$283,000 or 30.6% from approximately US$925,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to approximately US$642,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This is mainly due to reductions in packaging materials as the Group embarked on stricter cost controls and initiatives to reuse packaging materials.

Operating Expenses

The Group’s operating expenses mainly comprise employee benefits expense and other operating expenses. The Group’s operating expenses increased by approximately US$323,000 or 9.3%, from approximately US$3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to approximately US$3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to the increase in insurance expenses and professional fees which increased by approximately US$205,000 and US$524,000, respectively. The increase in insurance expenses in FY2024 is mainly due to the impact of a full year’s premium of the D&O insurance as compared to four months in FY2023. Increase in professional fees were mainly attributable to higher accounting and legal fees incurred post Business Combination.

This was mainly due to lower interest expense on borrowings which decreased by approximately US$35,000 as loan interest is calculated on a reducing balance basis

Depreciation and Amortization

The Group’s depreciation and amortization expense in FY2024 increased by approximately US$367,000 (15.5%) mainly due to a higher intangible assets balance that increased amortization expense by approximately US$266,000.

Listing expense

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, the Group’s net loss after taxation for the year ended December 31, 2024 was reduced by approximately US$94.3 million (-99.3%) from approximately US$95.0 million to approximately US$633,000 as compared with the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA

The Group defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, EBITDA consisted of the following:

EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB. The Group’s management uses EBITDA (i) as a measure of operating performance, (ii) for planning and forecasting in future periods, and (iii) in communications with the Group’s board of directors concerning the Group’s financial performance. The Group’s presentation of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation and should not be used by investors as a substitute or alternative to net income or any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB. Instead, the Group’s management believes EBITDA should be used to supplement the Group’s financial measures derived in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, to provide a more complete understanding of the trends affecting the business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

ESGL was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as a holding company and it did not have active business operations as of December 31, 2024. The Group’s consolidated assets and liabilities, consolidated revenue and net income are primarily the operation results of its subsidiary in Singapore. The Group has another operating subsidiary in Malaysia, ESG Chemicals Sdn Bhd (“ESGC”), that commenced operations in December 2024. ESGC’s contribution to the Group’s operating results were not significant in the financial year ended December 31, 2024. In assessing the Group’s liquidity, the Group monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating expenditure commitments. The Group’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements and operating expense obligations. Historically, the Group has financed its operations primarily through the (i) issuance of ordinary shares, (ii) cash generated by operations, (iii) loans from Directors and (iv) borrowings from banks. The Group has no other debt instruments other than those stated here.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group’s working capital was approximately negative US$7.0 million, an approximately US$6.8 million (49.3%) improvement compared to working capital as of December 31, 2023. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 amounted to approximately US$635,000, and it has current assets of approximately US$2.1 million and current liabilities of US$9.1 million. The negative working capital was primarily attributable to the classification of certain bank loan balances of approximately US$4.3 million as current liabilities due to clauses in the loan agreements that allow the banks to demand immediate repayment even though they were not due for repayment.

The following table illustrates the maturity profile of the Group’s borrowings:

Interest rates for the Group’s borrowings range from a fixed rate of 2% and 2.5% per annum to a floating rate of up to 2% above the lending bank’s cost of funds on a reducing balance basis. The Group’s treasury policy is to maintain controls on all exposures, to adhere to stringent counterparty credit standards, and to actively monitor marketplace exposures.

The capital expenditure contracted for as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 but not recognized in the financial statements were approximately US$1.3 million.

Based on the Group’s current operating plan, the Group believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash generated from operating and fund raising activities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. The Group’s future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of its revenue growth, its introduction of new products and processes, and its expansion of sales and marketing and product development activities. To the extent that the Group’s cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operating activities are insufficient to fund its future activities, the Group may need to raise additional funds through bank credit arrangements, public or private equity or debt financings. The Group also may need to raise additional funds in the event it decides in the future to acquire businesses, technologies and products that will complement its existing operations. In the event additional funding is required, the Group may not be able to obtain bank credit arrangements or equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to it or at all.

Cash Flows for the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately US$3.1 million was used for the Group’s operating activities. This was mainly due to the settlement of deferred underwriting fees amounting to approximately US$2.8 million and settlement of trade and other payables consisting mainly of contract liabilities of approximately US$1.1 million. Higher trade receivables and inventory balances as at December 31, 2024 also contributed to the net cash used in operating activities although this was partially offset by the adjustments for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets of approximately US$2.7 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group generated net cash from operating activities of approximately US$5.3 million despite a loss before income tax of approximately US$94.8 million. The significant loss before taxation was mainly due to listing expense of US$93.1 million and primarily arose from the accounting effects of the acquisition of GUCC and has no impact on operational cash flows. Net cash generated from operating activities was primarily attributable to (i) positive cash inflows after the adjustments for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets of approximately US$2.4 million, and (ii) the overall improvements in working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were approximately US$2.0 million and in FY2024, were primarily attributable to (i) the purchase property, plant and equipment amounting to approximately US$305,000 (2023: US$651,000), and (ii) the addition of intangible assets amounting to approximately US$1.7 million (2023: US$1.4 million).

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group issued shares to investors and received US$7.5 million in funds raised. This cash inflow was offset by repayment of bank borrowings, interest, payments for share issuance expenses and lease repayments amounting to approximately US$2.1 million, resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of approximately US$5.4 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately US$3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and was primarily attributable to (i) the repayment of approximately US$3.8 million of bank borrowings, (ii) the settlement of approximately US$3.2 million of promissory note to shares, (iii) the repayment of approximately US$186,000 of lease liabilities, and (iv) the payment of approximately US$389,000 of interest, which was partially offset by the share issuance of approximately US$754,000 and the draw down of bank borrowings of approximately US$3.6 million.

Trade Receivables

The Group’s trade receivables increased by approximately US$222,000 from approximately US$461,000 as of December 31, 2023 to approximately US$684,000 as of December 31, 2024.

The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables, and overdue balances are reviewed regularly by its senior management. The following table sets out an ageing analysis of the Group’s trade receivables that are past due but not impaired, as of the dates indicated:

As of December 31, 2024, the Group’s trade receivables that are past due but not impaired amounted to approximately US$117,000. These trade receivables were all subsequently settled as of date of this report.

The following table sets out the Group’s average trade receivables turnover days for the periods indicated:

Average Trade<br><br> <br>Receivables Turnover Days
As of December 31, 2024 34
As of December 31, 2023 25

Average trade receivables turnover days indicates the average time required for the Group to collect cash payments from its provision of goods or services. The Group’s average trade receivables turnover days were 34 and 25 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the Group’s average trade receivables turnover days as of December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023 was mainly attributable to the increased sales from the provision of waste disposal services to multi-national companies which generally require an average credit term of 60 days.

The Group has applied the simplified approach by using the provision matrix to measure the lifetime expected credit loss (“ECL”) for trade receivables.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At the end of the 2024 financial year, 76.3% of the total trade receivables were from three of the Group’s largest customers. In 2023, 48.0% of the total trade receivables were from three of the Group’s largest customers.

| 96 |

| --- |

Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Unless agreed otherwise, trade receivables are generally due within 30 days from the date of billing. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated with reference to the credit spread for each of the groupings (which taking into consideration of historical credit loss experience, average actual date of receipt, customers’ background, listing status and size as groupings of various debtors), which reflect the credit risk of the debtors, over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer bases.

Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables. The movements in loss allowance for trade receivables during the periods indicated:

Trade Payables

Trade payables represent primarily the Group’s obligations to pay for goods or services that have been engaged in the ordinary course of business from suppliers, including purchases of raw materials and utilities, as well as payment to its logistics providers. The Group is generally granted credit periods ranging from 30 to 60 days.

There were no significant changes to the Group’s trade payables balance for the two financial years under review.

Lease Liabilities

The Group recognized and measured lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases”. The Group leases properties in Singapore mainly for use as factory space for the processing and storage of waste. The table below sets forth the breakdown of the Group’s lease liabilities as of the dates indicated:

For the Year Ended
December 31,
2024 2023
(US) (US)
Current
Non-current

All values are in US Dollars.

The Group’s lease liabilities (comprising current and non-current liabilities) decreased approximately US$19,000 from approximately US$2.2 million as of December 31, 2023 to approximately US$2.1 million as of December 31, 2024. The reduction in lease liabilities arising from lease repayments in FY2024 was mitigated by the addition of a new lease for the warehouse in Malaysia, resulting in a modest decrease in overall lease liabilities.

Capital Commitments

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group incurred capital expenditures mainly for the procurement of property, plant and equipment. The following table sets out the Group’s capital expenditures contracted for as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 but not recognized in the financial statements:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Group has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates, assumptions and judgments, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other factors, including expectations of future events, that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. While the Group’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to its consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report, the Group believes that the following accounting policies and estimates are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements and understanding and evaluating its reported financial results.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

Revenue from contracts with customers

(a) Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the entity satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time, generally when the significant acts have been completed and when transfer of control occurs, or for services that are not significant, transactions revenue is recognized as the services are provided. The Group’s primary service consists of collecting and disposing of industrial wastes for its customers.

(b) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good to the customer. Control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods (in this respect, incoterms are considered).

Other revenue

(c) Interest income

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

| 99 |

| --- |

Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

(a) Determination of functional<br> currency

In determining the functional currency of the Group, judgment is used by the management to determine the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Consideration factors include the currency that mainly influences sales prices of goods and services and the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of its goods and services.

(b) Determination of lease<br> term of contracts with extension options

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to extend the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the extension. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term to consider whether there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to extend (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization to the leased asset).

The Group includes the extension option in the lease term for leases of leasehold buildings because of the leasehold improvements made and the significant costs that would arise to replace the assets. The extension options for leases of motor vehicles are not included as part of the lease term because the Group typically leases motor vehicles for not more than five years and, hence, will not exercise the extension options.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

(a) Useful lives of property,<br> plant and equipment

The useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment is estimated at the time the asset is acquired and is based on historical experience with similar assets and takes into account anticipated technological or other changes. If changes occur more rapidly than anticipated or the asset experiences an unexpected level of wear and tear, the useful life will be adjusted accordingly. The carrying amount of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2024 was US$20,762,483 (as of December 31, 2023: US$21,786,365).

(b) Inventory valuation method

Inventory write-down is made based on the current market conditions, historical experience and selling goods of a similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in market conditions. A review is made periodically for excess inventories, obsolescence and declines in net realizable value and an allowance is recorded against the inventory balances for any such declines. The realizable value represents the best estimate of the recoverable amount and is based on the most reliable evidence available and inherently involves estimates regarding the future expected realizable value. The carrying amount of the Group’s inventories as of December 31, 2024 was US$440,194 (as of December 31, 2023: US$64,184).

(c) Provision for expected<br> credit losses of trade receivables

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns.

| 100 |

| --- |

The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, historical default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analyzed.

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecasted economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecasted economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customers’ actual default in the future.

The carrying amount of the Group’s trade receivables as of December 31, 2024 was US$683,939 (as of December 31, 2023: US$461,497).

(d) Impairment of non-financial<br> assets

The impairment testing of non-financial assets requires assumptions about the future cash flows projections as well as about the discount rate to be applied. The assumptions used to arrive at the cash flow projections are dependent on the future market shares, the market trend and the profitability of the Group’s products.

Impairment testing of non-financial assets requires estimates about the extent and probability of the occurrence of future events. As far as possible, estimates are derived from past experience taking into account current market conditions and the stage of technological advancement.

(e) Capitalization of intangible<br> assets

The costs of internally generated intangible assets are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.6 to the financial statements. Initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. The carrying amount of the intangible assets as of December 31, 2024 was US$2,977,311 (as of December 31, 2023: US$2,381,465).

The Group’s internally generated intangible assets consist of software development projects. These include an inventory management system, a proprietary software for tracking real time used catalytic converters to facilitate buying and selling decisions, a database to facilitate reporting, analysis and certification in its laboratory, a thermal treatment and desiccation system, an acid treatment and renewal system and a system to convert waste plastics to oil. These intangible assets were developed to improve efficiency, increase productivity and generate circular products. The costs incurred for each project consist principally of the salaries of the employees working directly on the projects and include time to develop business requirements, programming and coding, software architecture design and version deployment and testing.

This information should be read together with ESGL’s and DT’s financial statements and related notes thereto, and other financial information included in the Proxy Statement, including the Acquisition Agreement and the descriptions of certain items thereof set forth in the Proxy Statement.

Description of the Acquisition


On February 26, 2024, ESGL, DT and certain of DT’s shareholders entered into the Acquisition Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which ESGL will merge with and into DT, with DT surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ESGL in which ESGL will continue as public corporation after the Closing (collectively, the “Acquisition”).

| 102 |

| --- |

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by ESGL at the closing of the Business Combination to the DT shareholders is $1,030,000,000 (the “Consideration”), which will be paid in 1,000,000,000 newly issued ordinary shares of ESGL (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed issue price of $1.03 per share. In addition, subject to DT and its subsidiaries (the “DT Group”) having achieved the FY2025 Performance Target (as defined below) and the FY2026 Performance Target (as defined below), ESGL shall issue additional ordinary shares to the DT shareholders equal to 5% of the number of Consideration Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) for each fiscal year. The total number of Earnout Shares that may be issued in both FY2025 and FY2026 shall not exceed 10% of the number of the Consideration Shares. In the event that the FY2025 Performance Target is not satisfied by the end of 2025 but the FY2025 Performance Target and the FY2026 Performance Target have been satisfied by the end of FY2026, all of the Earnout Shares in respect of both fiscal years (to the extent not yet issued) shall be issued to the DT shareholders. The “FY2025 Performance Target” means 36 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year. The “FY2026 Performance Target” means 74 units of DT vehicles being delivered to and accepted by its customers in the year.

Accounting for the Acquisition


The Acquisition is expected to be accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in accordance with International financial reporting standards. Under this method of accounting, ESGL will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Acquisition will be treated as the equivalent of DT issuing stock for the net assets of ESGL, accompanied by a reverse acquisition. The net assets of ESGL will be stated at historical cost. There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities as a result of the reverse acquisition.

This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Acquisition, DT’s stockholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, DT will comprise substantially (?) all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, DT directors will be the governing body of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Acquisition will be treated as the equivalent of DT issuing shares for the net assets of ESGL, accompanied by a reverse acquisition. The net assets of ESGL will be stated at historical costs. Goodwill will be recorded for the amount of consideration paid for the Acquisition that is in excess of the net assets of ESGL.

DESCRIPTION OF ESGL’S SECURITIES

ESGL is a Cayman Islands company and its affairs are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, which we refer to as the “Companies Act” below, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

ESGL currently has a single class of issued Ordinary Shares, which have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another.


Ordinary Shares

The following includes a summary of the terms of the Ordinary Shares based on our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law. According to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value of $0.0001 each.


***General.***ESGL’s authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares, with a par value of US$0.0001 each. All of ESGL’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form. ESGL may not issue share to bearer. ESGL’s shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and transfer their Ordinary Shares.


***Dividends.***Subject to the Companies Act and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any ESGL’s shares, ESGL’s directors may resolve to pay dividends and other distributions on ESGL’s shares in issue and authorise payment of the dividends or other distributions out of the funds of ESGL lawfully available therefor. A dividend shall be deemed to be an interim dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which ESGL’s directors resolve to pay such dividend specifically state that such dividend shall be a final dividend. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of ESGL, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.


Voting Rights. In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders’ vote, each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of their Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing the proxy, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which they are appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which they are appointed.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting, while a special resolution also requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.


Transfer of OrdinaryShares. Subject to the restrictions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Association as set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in writing in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law or in any other form approved by ESGL’s Board of Directors and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing House or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Directors may approve from time to time. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

| 109 |

| --- |

If the Ordinary Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles of Association on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the ESGL’s directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Ordinary Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of such right, option or warrant.


Redemption, Repurchaseand Surrender of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of the Shares.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Companies Act, including out of capital.

The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share.


Variations of Rightsof Shares. Subject to Amended and Restated Articles of Association, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Act is modeled after that of England and Wales but does not follow recent statutory enactments in England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

This discussion does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares under applicable law in the Cayman Islands or the rights of holders of the common stock of a typical corporation under applicable Delaware law.


Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a statement setting out the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman Islands parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;
the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority<br> are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;
--- ---
| 111 |

| --- | | ● | the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that<br> class acting in respect of his interest; and | | --- | --- | | ● | the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the<br> Companies Act. | | --- | --- |

The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of ninety percent (90%) of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.


Shareholders’ Suits

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;
the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more<br> than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and
--- ---
those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority”.

Indemnification of Directors and ExecutiveOfficers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that that every ESGL’s director and officer (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of ESGL), together with every ESGL’s former director and former officer (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of ESGL against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under ESGL’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Act for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Memorandum and Articles of Association. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.


Shareholder Action by Written Consent

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that a resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all of ESGL’s members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations or other non-natural persons, signed by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of ESGL duly convened and held.


Shareholder Proposals

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with rights to requisition a general meeting nor any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide that our members’ requisition is a requisition of ESGL’s members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-third in par value of the issued ESGL’s shares which as at that date carry the right to vote at general meetings of ESGL.

| 113 |

| --- |


Cumulative Voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, our Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.


Removal of Directors

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, directors may be removed by an ordinary resolution of our members.


Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Act contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.


Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Companies Act and our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, if ESGL shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any ESGL’s shares and with the approval of a special resolution of ESGL and any other approval required by the Companies Act, divide amongst ESGL’s members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of ESGL (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Articles of Association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.


Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.


Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

There are no limitations imposed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.


Enforceability of Civil Liability under CaymanIslands Law

Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of the U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state or other territory of the United States of America; or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or executive officers that are predicated upon the U.S. securities laws or the securities laws of any U.S. state.

Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP has informed us that any final and conclusive judgment for a definite sum (not being a sum payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature nor a fine or other penalty) and/or certain non-monetary judgments rendered in any action or proceedings brought against our Company in a foreign court (other than certain judgments of a superior court of certain states of the Commonwealth of Australia) will be recognized as a valid judgment by the courts of the Cayman Islands without re-examination of the merits of the case. On general principles, we would expect such proceedings to be successful provided that the court which gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied in the Cayman Islands and the judgment is not contrary to public policy in the Cayman Islands, has not been obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural justice.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Its address is 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, and its telephone number is +1 (212) 509-4000.


Warrants

Set forth below is also a description of the Warrants that are issued and outstanding.

The following summary is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of the warrant agreement attached as Exhibit 4.3 to this registration statement.

Each Warrant assumed at Closing entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per full share. ESGL will not issue fractional shares. The Warrants became exercisable on August 2, 2023, and will expire on August 2, 2028.

ESGL may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

at any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable,
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption,
if, and only if, the last sales price of the Ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for<br> any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before ESGL sends the notice of redemption, and
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Ordinary<br> Shares underlying the Public Warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing<br> each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and ESGL issues a notice of redemption, each warrant holder can exercise his, her or its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Ordinary Shares may fall below the $18.00 trigger price as well as the $11.50 Warrant exercise price per full share after the redemption notice is issued and not limit ESGL’s ability to complete the redemption.

If ESGL calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all warrant holders that wish to exercise Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each Warrant holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole Public Warrant for that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrants and the “fair market value” (as defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the Warrant holders. Whether ESGL will exercise its option to require all Warrant holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of the Ordinary Shares at the time the Public Warrants are called for redemption, ESGL’s cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.

Enforceability of Civil Liability under HongKong Law

A judgment of a court in the United States predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws may be enforced in Hong Kong at common law by bringing an action in a Hong Kong court on that judgment for the amount due thereunder, and then seeking summary judgment on the strength of the foreign judgment, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is (1) for a debt or a definite sum of money; (2) made by a court of competent jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter; (3) between the same parties on an identical issue; (4) final and conclusive on the merits; and (5) not impeachable according to the rules on conflicts of laws of Hong Kong. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained by fraud; (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; or (c) its enforcement or recognition would be contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong. It will be costlier and more time-consuming for the investors to effect service of process outside the United States, or to enforce judgments obtained from the U.S. courts in the courts of the jurisdictions where our directors and officers reside. For example, to enforce a foreign judgment in Hong Kong, the applicant will be required to apply to the Hong Kong High Court to enforce a foreign judgment (the “Application”) for which the applicant will be required to (i) engage a local counsel to facilitate or prepare the Application; and (ii) go through the standard litigation process to sue on the judgment as a debt.

Enforceability of Civil Liability under SingaporeLaw

It is possible that the Singapore courts may not (i) recognize and enforce judgments of courts in the United States, based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States (ii) enter judgments in original actions brought in the Singapore courts based solely on the civil liability provisions of these securities laws. An in personam final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a fixed or ascertainable sum of money is payable may be enforced as a debt in the Singapore courts under the common law as long as it is (i) from a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States and (ii) final and conclusive on the merits under the laws of the United States. Additionally, the court where the judgment was obtained must have had international jurisdiction over the party sought to be bound in the local proceedings. However, the Singapore courts are unlikely to enforce a foreign judgment if (a) the foreign judgment is inconsistent with a prior local judgment that is binding on the same parties; (b) the enforcement of the foreign judgment would contravene the public policy of Singapore; (c) the proceedings in which the foreign judgment was obtained were contrary to principles of natural justice; (d) the foreign judgment was obtained by fraud; or (e) the enforcement of the foreign judgment amounts to the direct or indirect enforcement of a foreign penal, revenue or other public law.

In particular, the Singapore courts may potentially not allow the enforcement of any foreign judgment for a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or other similar charges, including the judgments of courts in the United States based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States. In respect of civil liability provisions of the United States federal and state securities law which permit punitive damages against us and our Directors or Executive Officers, we are unaware of any decision by the Singapore courts which has considered the specific issue of whether a judgment of a United States court based on such civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state or territory of the United States is enforceable in Singapore.

Duties and Functions of Directors

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party, and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to the Company, the directors must ensure compliance with our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by any of the directors is breached.

Terms of Directors and Officers

ESGL’s officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board. Each director holds office for the term fixed by the resolution of shareholders or the resolution of directors appointing him until such time as his successor takes office or until the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal from office by resolution of directors with or without cause or by resolution of shareholders for cause. The directors may at any time appoint any person to be a director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. Where the directors appoint a person as director to fill a vacancy, the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the person who has ceased to be a director ceased to hold office. A vacancy in relation to directors occurs if a director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office.


Interested Transactions

Duties and Functions of Directors

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party, and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to the Company, the directors must ensure compliance with our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by any of the directors is breached.


Terms of Directors and Officers

The Combined Company’s officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board. Each director holds office for the term fixed by the resolution of shareholders or the resolution of directors appointing him until such time as his successor takes office or until the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal from office by resolution of directors with or without cause or by resolution of shareholders for cause. The directors may at any time appoint any person to be a director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. Where the directors appoint a person as director to fill a vacancy, the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the person who has ceased to be a director ceased to hold office. A vacancy in relation to directors occurs if a director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office.


Interested Transactions

A director may, subject to any separate requirements for Audit Committee approval under applicable laws or applicable Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, vote on a matter relating to the transaction in which he or she is interested, provided that the interest of any directors in such transaction is disclosed by him or her to all other directors.

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

Following the closing of the Acquisition, we expect the Combined Company’s executive compensation program to be consistent with ESGL’s existing compensation policies and philosophies. Following the closing of the Acquisition, decisions with respect to the compensation of the Combined Company’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the compensation of the named executive officers and directors following the Acquisition. The actual compensation of the named executive officers will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

We anticipate that compensation for the Combined Company’s executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, share incentive award, broad-based employee benefits, supplemental executive perquisites and severance benefits. Base salaries, broad-based employee benefits, supplemental executive perquisites and severance benefits will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. The Combined Company will also use cash bonuses and long-term equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of its named executive officers with the long-term interests of its equity owners and to enhance executive retention.


Base Salary

We expect that the Combined Company’s named executive officers’ base salaries in effect prior to the Acquisition will continue subject to increases made in connection with ESGL’s annual review of its named executive officers’ base salaries, and be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee.


Annual Bonuses

We expect that the Combined Company will use annual cash incentive bonuses for the named executive officers to motivate their achievement of short-term performance goals and tie a portion of their cash compensation to performance. We expect that, near the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee will select the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other terms and conditions of annual cash bonuses for the named executive officers, subject to the terms of their employment agreements. Following the end of each year, the Compensation Committee will determine the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the named executive officers.


Other Compensation

We expect the Combined Company to continue to maintain various broad-based employee benefit plans similar to those in effect prior to the Acquisition. We also expect the Combined Company to continue to provide its named executive officers with specified perquisites and personal benefits currently provided by ESGL.


Director Compensation

Following the Acquisition, non-employee directors of the Combined Company will receive varying levels of compensation for their services as directors and members of committees of the Combined Company’s Board. The Combined Company anticipates that director compensation will be determined in accordance with industry practice and standards.


Foreign Private Issuer Status

As a foreign private issuer, the Combined Company will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act, prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Combined Company will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. domestic issuers, and will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. The Combined Company will also be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with the Cayman Islands law in lieu of most of the corporate governance rules set forth by Nasdaq. As a result, the Combined Company’s corporate governance practices differ in some respects from those required to be followed by U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERSAND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of ordinary shares as of May 15, 2025 (pre-Acquisition) and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of the Combined Company’s ordinary shares immediately following consummation of the Acquisition, by:

each person or<br> “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) known<br> by ESGL to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of ordinary shares of ESGL;
each person known<br> by ESGL who may become beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Combined Company’s outstanding<br> ordinary shares immediately following the Acquisition;
--- ---
each of ESGL’s<br> executive officers and directors;
--- ---
each person who<br> will become an executive officer or director of the Combined Company upon the closing of<br> the Acquisition;
--- ---
all of ESGL’s<br> current executive officers and directors as a group; and
--- ---
all executive officers<br> and directors of the Combined Company as a group upon the closing of the Acquisition.
--- ---

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, ESGL believes, based on the information furnished to it, that the persons and entities named in the table below have, or will have immediately after the consummation of the Acquisition, sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our ordinary shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. Any our ordinary shares subject to options or warrants exercisable within 60 days of the consummation of the Acquisition are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the persons holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of that person. They are not, however, deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

As of the Record Date, ESGL had 41,816,240 ordinary shares outstanding.

The expected beneficial ownership of ordinary shares of the Combined Company post-Acquisition has been determined based upon the following assumptions: (i) that we have not issued any additional ordinary shares; (ii) that 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of the Combined Company are issued in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement ; (iii) that no warrants have been exercised by any warrantholder; and (iv) there will be an aggregate of 1,041,816,240 ordinary shares of the Combined Company issued and outstanding at the closing of the Acquisition.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


ESGL Related Party Transactions


Related Party Transactions of GUCC

Commencing from February 14, 2022, GUCC agreed to pay Genesis Unicorn Capital, LLC, the Sponsor, a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon Closing, GUCC ceased paying these monthly fees.

No compensation of any kind, including any finder’s fee, reimbursement, consulting fee or monies in respect of any payment of a loan, has been paid by GUCC to the Sponsor, GUCC’s officers or directors or any affiliate of the Sponsor, prior to, or in connection with any services rendered in order to effectuate, the consummation of a Business Combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). However, these individuals were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on GUCC’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. GUCC’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, GUCC’s officers, directors or GUCC’s or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on GUCC’s behalf.

On October 12, 2022, GUCC issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to the Sponsor (the “Original Note”). The Original Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of August 17, 2023 or the date on which GUCC consummates its initial business combination. On March 1, 2023, GUCC issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “2023 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $2,000,000 to the Sponsor. The 2023 Note supersedes the Original Note. The 2023 Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of February 17, 2024 or the date on which GUCC consummates its initial business combination. There is an outstanding balance of $350,000 on the 2023 Note as of date of this report.

GUCC entered into agreements with its officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification. GUCC also purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures GUCC against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors.


Certain Related Party Transactions of ESGL

ESGL had entered into a facility letter with a bank for a term loan in the amount of S$3 million (the “Term Loan VII”, details of which are set out below) and a revolving credit loan in the amount of S$3 million (the “Revolving Credit Loan II”, details of which are set out below) on March 30, 2023. As security for the monies owing under the loans with the bank, a fresh first legal mortgage was created on the property located at 101 Tuas South Avenue 2, Singapore 637226. The Term Loan VII was obtained for refinancing ESA’s existing loan with another bank as well as capital investment and general corporate purposes. The Term Loan VII is repayable in 35 monthly instalments of S$43,000 each plus monthly interest and a final instalment of the outstanding balance amount and interest. The Revolving Credit Loan II was obtained for capital investment and general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Loan II is repayable on demand. The interest rate charged for both the Term Loan VII and the Revolving Credit Loan II is 2% per annum above the bank’s prevailing cost of funds, with its current cost of funds at 5.30% per annum. The monies owing under the loans were also secured by, among others, a director of the Group, namely Mr. Quek Leng Chuang in his personal capacity.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, ESGL entered into employment agreements with each of its executive officers. ESGL also entered into director agreements with each of its directors and indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers.

ESGL Related Party Policy

ESGL has not yet adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were not reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.

ESGL has adopted a code of ethics requiring ESGL to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by the Board (or the appropriate committee of the Board) or as disclosed in ESGL’s public filings with the SEC. Under ESGL’s code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving GUCC.

In addition, ESGL’s audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that ESGL has adopted, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that ESGL enters into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. ESGL also requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

ESGL’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to ESGL’s officers and directors or ESGL’s or their affiliates.


Related Party Transactions of DT

DT as a borrower had entered into a deed of loan dated November 8, 2024 (the “Deed of Loan”) with, among others, Dream Maker International Limited, a company wholly owned by Sung Fung Choi, in relation to approximately US$14.4 million drawn down by the DT Group as of April 30, 2025 and any further advances made to DT from time to time after that date for the purpose of obtaining working capital and general financing for the operations of the DT Group. Each loan borrowed under the Deed of Loan is unsecured and, subject to the terms of the Deed of Loan, is repayable 36 months after the relevant date of drawdown, or such later date as agreed between the parties. The interest rate charged for all loans drawn down on or after January 1, 2024 is 15% per annum and that for loans drawn down before January 1, 2024 is 10% per annum.

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of ESGL Holdings Limited

Opinionon the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of ESGL Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Company’sAbility to Continue as a Going Concern

As discussed in Note 2.1 to the financial statements the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had net losses of U$ 633,257 and U$ $ 94,979,338 for the years ended 2024 and 2023 respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has net current liabilities of U$ 6,966,979. These conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s outlook regarding these matters are also described in Note 2.1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basisfor Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Assentsure PAC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

Notesto the Consolidated Financial Statements for Financial Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

These notes form an integral part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements.

1.General information

(“ESA”).

The address of its registered office is 71 Fort Street, PO Box 500, George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-1106, Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, ESGH conducts all of its operations through its operating entity incorporated in Singapore, Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte. Ltd.

Environmental Solutions Asia Holdings Limited (“ESAH”)

ESAH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ESGH, was incorporated and domiciled in the British Virgin Islands with its registered office at Mandar House, 3^rd^ Floor, Johnson’s Ghut, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Environmental Solutions (Asia) Pte. Ltd. (“ESA”)

ESA was incorporated and domiciled in Singapore, with its registered office at 101 Tuas, South Avenue 2, Singapore 637226. ESA is a waste management, treatment and recycling company involved in the collection and recycling of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste from customers such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, petrochemical and electroplating companies.

ESG Chemicals Sdn. Bhd. (“ESGC”)

ESGC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ESA, was incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, with its registered office at 07-01 Jalan Sagu 10, Taman Daya, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. It’s principal activities include storing and distribution of circular products manufactured by ESA.

2.Significant accounting policies

2.1Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention, except for Prepaid forward purchase agreement and leasehold land and buildings which are measured at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions.

The financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the net current liabilities as of December 31, 2024 amounted to approximately US$7.0 million (2023: US$13.8 million). As of December 31, 2024, the Group’s current assets were approximately US$2.1 million and its current liabilities were approximately US$9.1 million. The negative working capital was primarily attributable to the classification of certain bank loan balances of approximately US$4.3 million as current liabilities as the relevant bank loan agreements allow the banks to demand immediate repayments even though they were not due for repayment within a year. To date, the Group has been able to service its loan repayments and there were no indications that the banks intend to recall the loans.

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is largely dependent on its ability to reduce operation costs and grow its revenue to fully utilize its production capacity as well as raising funds from the capital market. The Group successfully raised US$7.5 million via share issuance during the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.1Basis of preparation (continued)

The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

2.2Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements are presented in United States Dollars  (“US$”), which is the Company’s presentation currency. All financial information presented in United States Dollars has been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise indicated.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2024 and 2023. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the Company the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:-

Power<br> over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
Exposure,<br> or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The<br> ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

The<br> contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee;
Rights<br> arising from other contractual arrangements;
The<br> Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Company assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognized at fair value.

2.3Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

Revenue from contracts with customers

(a) Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the entity satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time, generally when the significant acts have been completed and when transfer of control occurs, or for services that are not significant, transactions revenue is recognized as the services are provided. The Group’s primary service consists of collecting and disposing of industrial wastes for its customers.

(b) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised good to the customer. Control of the goods is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the goods (in this respect, incoterms are considered).

Other revenue

Interestincome

Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

Contractassets

The contract assets are for the Group’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on its contracts; costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer; and any impairment losses recognized in the reporting year. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional.

2.4Government grants

Grants from the government are recognized as a receivable at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions.

Government grants receivable are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants relating to expenses are shown separately as other income.

Government grants relating to non-monetary assets are deducted against the carrying amount of the non-monetary assets.

2.5Property, plant and equipment

(a) Measurement
(i) Property, plant and equipment
--- ---

Property, plant and equipment other than leasehold land and buildings are initially recognized at cost and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Leasehold land and buildings are measured at fair value less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses recognized after the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed frequently to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Any revaluation surplus is credited to the property revaluation reserve in equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, in which case the increase is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

A revaluation deficit is recognized in the statement of profit or loss, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognized in the asset revaluation reserve.

An annual transfer from the property revaluation reserve to accumulated losses is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the assets and depreciation based on the assets original cost. Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to that particular asset being sold is transferred to retained profits.

(ii) Components of costs

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognized includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

(b) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate depreciable amounts over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Schedule of property, plant and equipment depreciation, estimated useful lives

Useful<br> lives
Leasehold<br> land and buildings Over<br> the lease term period ranging from 2 to 30 years
Plant<br> and equipment 3<br> to 5 years
Machineries 2<br> to 10 years
Renovation 5<br> years
Motor<br> vehicles 10<br> years
Furniture<br> and fittings 5<br> years

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date. The effects of any revision are recognized in profit or loss when the changes arise.

Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are no longer in use.

(c) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognized is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss when incurred.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.5Property, plant and equipment (continued)

(d) Disposal

On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.

2.6Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. Following initial acquisition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate depreciable amounts over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Schedule of intangible assets depreciable, estimated useful lives

Useful<br> lives
Software<br> and production processes 3<br> years

2.7Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

2.8Impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating units (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of the asset (or CGU) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or CGU) is reduced to its recoverable amount.

The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognized as an impairment loss in profit or loss.

An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount of this asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is credited to profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.9Financial assets

(a) Classification and measurement

The Group classifies its financial assets at amortized cost.

The classification of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets as well as the contractual terms of the cash flows of the financial assets.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.

The Group reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

At initial recognition

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of the financial assets not a fair value through profit or loss, transactions costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

At subsequent measurement

Debt instruments are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt instrument that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in interest income using the effective interest rate method.

(b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit loss (“ECL”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9 (including trade and other receivables). The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“12m ECL”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Group always recognizes lifetime ECL for trade and other receivables. The ECL on these assets are assessed individually for debtors with significant balances and/or collectively using a provision matrix with appropriate groupings.

For all other instruments, the Group measures the loss allowance as equal to 12m ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition for which the Group recognizes lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognized is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.9Financial assets (continued)

(b) Impairment of financial assets (continued)

(i) Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.

In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:

An<br> actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;
Significant<br> deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, or the credit default<br> swap prices for the debtor;
Existing<br> or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the<br> debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
An<br> actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
An<br> actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results<br> in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.

(ii) Definition of default

For internal credit risk management, the Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group).

Irrespective of the above, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events of default that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

(a) Significant<br> financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
(b) A<br> breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
(c) The<br> lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted<br> to the borrower a concession that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider.

(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets (continued)

(d) It<br> is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
(e) The<br> disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

(iv) Write-off policy

The Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over one year past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognized in profit or loss.

(v) Measurement and recognition of ECL

The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure to default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default representing the weights.

Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.

Where ECL is measured on a collective basis or for cases where evidence at the individual instrument level may not yet be available, the financial instruments are grouped on the following basis:

Nature<br> of financial instruments;
Past-due<br> status;
Nature,<br> size and industry of debtors; and
External<br> credit ratings where available.

The groups are regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.

Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortized cost of the financial asset.

(c) Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

On disposal of a debt instrument, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale proceeds is recognized in profit or loss. Any amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that asset is reclassified to profit or loss.

2.10Financial Liabilities

Borrowings are presented as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date, in which case they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair values (net of transaction costs) and subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

(a) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

(b) Offsetting<br> of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.11Leases

Whenthe Group is the lessee

At the inception of the contract, the Group assesses if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Reassessment is only required when the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

Right-of-use assets

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability at the date at which the underlying asset is available for use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and lease incentive received. Any initial direct costs that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained are added to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

Right-of-use assets are presented within “Property, plant and equipment”.

2.11Leases (continued)

Lease liabilities

The initial measurement of a lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the implicit rate in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group shall use its incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments include the following:

Fixed<br> payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
Variable<br> lease payment that is based on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
Amount<br> expected to be payable under residual value guarantees;
The<br> exercise price of a purchase option if it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised; and
Payment<br> of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.

For a contract that contains both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease and non-lease components. The Group has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for property leases and accounts for these as one single lease component.

Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Lease liability shall be remeasured when:

There<br> is a change in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate;
There<br> is a change in the Group’s assessment of whether it will exercise an extension option; or
There<br> is modification in the scope or the consideration of the lease that was not part of the original term.

Lease liability is remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. The Group presents lease liabilities as a separate line item on the statement of financial position.

Short-term and low-value leases

The Group has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of low value. Payments relating to these leases are expensed to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Variable lease payments

Variable lease payments that are not based on an index or a rate are not included as part of the measurement and initial recognition of the lease liability. The Group shall recognize those lease payments in profit or loss in the periods that triggered those lease payments.

Lease modifications

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if:

The<br> modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

2.11Leases (continued)

The<br> consideration for the leases increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate<br> adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Group remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.

The Group accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. When the modified contract contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the modified contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

Whenthe Group is the lessor

Classificationand measurement of leases

Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee, the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognized as receivables at commencement date at amounts equal to net investments in the leases, measured using the interest rate implicit in the respective leases. Initial direct costs are included in the initial measurement of the net investments in the leases. Interest income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset, and such costs are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term except for investment properties measured under the fair value model. Variable lease payments for operating leases that depend on an index or a rate are estimated and included in the total lease payments to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as income when they arise.

Refundablerental deposits

Refundable rental deposits received are accounted for under IFRS 9 and initially measured at fair value. Adjustments to fair value at initial recognition are considered as additional lease payments from lessees.

Leasemodification

Changes in consideration of lease contracts that were not part of the original terms and conditions are accounted for as lease modifications, including lease incentives provided through forgiveness or reduction of rentals.

The Group accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.

2.12Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the specific identification method and includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

When necessary, allowance is provided for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items to adjust the carrying values of inventories to the lower of cost and net realizable value.

2.13Income taxes

Income tax represents the sum of current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:-

When<br> the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not<br> a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss;<br> and
In<br> respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, when the timing<br> of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse<br> in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

When<br> the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability<br> in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or<br> loss nor taxable profit or loss; and
In<br> respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, deferred<br> tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future<br> and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

2.13Income Taxes (continued)

Deferred tax is calculated, without discounting, at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Current and deferred taxes are recognized as income or expenses in profit or loss, except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction which is recognized directly in equity.

The Group accounts for investment tax credits similar to accounting for other tax credits where a deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

2.14Employee benefits

Employee benefits are recognized as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalized as an asset.

(a) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions to separate entities such as the Central Provident Fund on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been made.

(b) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

2.15Currency translation

The financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“US$”). Our business and operations are primarily conducted in Singapore through our subsidiary, ESA, that is domiciled there. The functional currency of ESA is US$ and transactions in a currency other than the United States Dollar (“foreign currency”) are translated into the United States Dollar using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.

All foreign exchange gains and losses impacting profit or loss are presented in statement of comprehensive income within “Other operating expenses”.

2.19Fair value measurement

The Group measures its properties at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:-

Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)

2.20Application of amendments to IFRS

In the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Group has applied the following amendments to IFRSs, for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024:

Amendments
Amendments<br> to IFRS 16 Leases Lease<br> liability in a sale and leaseback
Amendments<br> to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Classification<br> of liabilities as Current or Non-Current and Non-current liabilities with Covenants
Amendments<br> to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments Disclosures<br> – Supplier finance arrangements

The application of the amendments to IFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these financial statements.

3.Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

Estimates, assumptions and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Criticaljudgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

(a) Determination of functional currency

In determining the functional currency of the Group, judgment is used by the management to determine the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Consideration factors include the currency that mainly influences sales prices of goods and services and the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of its goods and services.

(b) Determination of lease term of contracts with extension options

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option of the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the extension. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term to consider whether there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to extend (e.g. construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customization to the leased asset).

The Group includes the extension option in the lease term for leases of leasehold buildings because of the leasehold improvements made and the significant costs that would arise to replace the assets. The extension options for leases of motor vehicles are not included as part of the lease term because the Group typically leases motor vehicles for not more than five years and, hence, will not exercise the extension options.

3.Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements (continued)

Criticalaccounting estimates and assumptions

(a) Useful lives of plant and equipment

The useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment is estimated at the time the asset is acquired and is based on historical experience with similar assets and takes into account anticipated technological or other changes. If changes occur more rapidly than anticipated or the asset experiences an unexpected level of wear and tear, the useful life will be adjusted accordingly. The carrying amount of the Group’s plant and equipment as at December 31, 2024 was US$20,762,483 (2023: US$21,786,365).

(b) Inventory valuation method

Inventory write-down is made based on the current market conditions, historical experience and selling goods of a similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in market conditions. A review is made periodically for excess inventories, obsolescence and declines in net realizable value and an allowance is recorded against the inventory balances for any such declines. The realizable value represents the best estimate of the recoverable amount and is based on the most reliable evidence available and inherently involves estimates regarding the future expected realizable value. The carrying amount of the Group’s inventories as at December 31, 2024 was US$440,194 (2023: US$64,184).

(c) Allowance for expected credit losses of trade receivables

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate ECLs for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments that have similar loss patterns.

The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. At every reporting date, historical default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecasted economic conditions and ECLs is a significant estimate. The amount of ECLs is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecasted economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of customers’ actual default in the future.

The carrying amount of the Group’s trade receivables as at December 31, 2024 was US$683,939 (2023: US$461,497).

(d) Impairment of non-financial assets

The impairment testing of non-financial assets requires assumptions about the future cash flows projections as well as about the discount rate to be applied. The assumptions used to arrive at the cash flow projections are dependent on the future market shares, the market trend and the profitability of the Group’s products.

Impairment testing of non-financial assets requires estimates about the extent and probability of the occurrence of future events. As far as possible, estimates are derived from past experience taking into account current market conditions and the stage of technological advancement.

Criticalaccounting estimates and assumptions (continued)

(e) Capitalization of intangible assets

The costs of internally generated intangible assets are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.6 to the financial statements. Initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed, usually when a development project has reached a defined milestone according to an established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project, discount rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits. The carrying amount of the intangible assets at the reporting date is US$2,977,311 (2023: US$2,381,465).

(f) Forward Purchase Agreement

On July 27, 2023, the Company, ESGL entered into an agreement (“Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Vellar Opportunities Fund Master, Ltd. (“Vellar”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction. On the same date as the execution of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Vellar assigned and novated 50% of its rights and obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement to ACM ARRT K LLC (“ARRT”, together with Vellar, the “Sellers”).

In aggregate, Vellar purchased 931,915 shares, and ARRT 500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Recycled Shares”). In connection with these purchases, the Sellers revoked any redemption elections. The purchases were recognized as a current asset in the financial statements as Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement (“Prepaid FPA”), at the fair value at the time of the purchase transaction. For the financial year ended December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Prepaid FPA was assessed using a Monte Carlo simulation model to be US$969 and accordingly, an adjustment to the carrying amount of the Prepaid FPA was made.

Terminationof Forward Purchase Agreement

On March 21, 2024, the Company received a termination notice from Vellar, dated March 14, 2024, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the termination notice, Vellar notified the Company that the Valuation Date was March 15, 2024 as a result of the occurrence of a VWAP Trigger Event. On March 22, 2024, the Company and Vellar entered into a Valuation Period Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed that the Valuation Period concluded at 4:00 p.m. on March 21, 2024 and the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date was equal to 52,641, calculated as 2,200,000 Shares (the Recycled Shares and Additional Shares) less 2,147,359 Shares (the Number of Shares Adjustment). As 52,641 Shares multiplied by the VWAP of $0.45 less $4,400,000 (being the Settlement Amount Adjustment, calculated as the product of the Maximum Number of Shares and $2.00) is a negative number, neither Vellar nor the Company is liable to the other party for any payment under the Forward Purchase Agreement. As a result of the conclusion of the Valuation Period, the obligations of Vellar and the Company under the Forward Purchase Agreement have been terminated.

Fairvalue hierarchy

There was no independent valuation of the Group’s leasehold land and buildings conducted as at December 31, 2024. The fair value of the leasehold land and buildings was determined by the Group’s management using internal valuations and external market data.

An independent valuation was performed by valuer, CKS Property Consultants Pte Ltd to determine the fair value of leasehold land and buildings as at December 31, 2023. The revaluation surplus net of applicable deferred income taxes was credited to revaluation reserve. The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s leasehold land and buildings carried at fair value:-

Valuationtechniques

The valuation techniques used in the financial years ended December 31, 2023 were consistent with prior years and all leasehold land and buildings’ valuation was determined using a market comparison approach. The fair value of leasehold land and buildings is based on prices for recent market transactions in similar properties and adjusted to reflect the conditions and locations of the Group’s properties. The significant input into this valuation approach is price per square foot, which has been adjusted to reflect the location, size, tenure, age and condition, standard of finishes, use, facilities provided, date of transaction and the prevailing economic conditions.

Below is a summary of the valuation techniques used and the key inputs to the valuation of leasehold land and buildings:-

2024 2023
Leasehold<br> land and buildings in Singapore Market<br> comparison approach Price<br> per square foot n/a US$113<br> to US$396 per square foot

The fair value measurements are based on the above leasehold land and buildings’ highest and best use, which does not differ from their actual use.

Had the Group’s leasehold land and buildings been carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, the carrying amount of the Group’s leasehold land and buildings as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 would have been approximately US$3,171,013 and US$3,645,289 respectively.

23.Financial risk management

Financialrisk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to market risk (including currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

The Directors review and agree to the policies and procedures for the management of these risks, which are executed by the management team. It is and has been throughout the current and previous financial year, the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s exposure to the abovementioned financial risks and the objectives, policies, and processes for the management of these risks. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.

(a) Market risk
(i) Currency risk
--- ---

Currency risk arises from sales or purchases that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group.

The foreign currency in which these transactions are denominated is mainly Singapore Dollar (“SGD”). The Group does not have a policy to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risk.

The Group’s currency exposure based on the information provided to key management is as follows:

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its non-current borrowings at variable rates.

The Group’s borrowings at variable rates are denominated mainly in SGD. As of December 31, 2023, if the SGD interest rates had increased/decreased by 0.5% (2023: 0.5%) with all other variables including tax rate being held constant, the loss before tax for the financial year would have been lower/higher by US$16,504 (2023: US$18,831) as a result of higher/lower interest expense on these borrowings.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligation, resulting in financial loss to the Group.

(i) Risk management

The Group has adopted the following policy to mitigate its credit risk.

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its counterparties’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral.

Financial assets are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk and failures by counterparties to discharge their obligations in full or in a timely manner. These arise principally from cash and cash equivalents, receivables and other financial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the total of the fair value of the financial assets at the end of the reporting year. Credit risk on cash balances with banks and any other financial instruments is limited because the counter-parties are entities with acceptable credit ratings.

(b) Credit risk (continued)
(ii) Impairment of trade receivables
--- ---

The Group has applied the simplified approach by using the provision matrix to measure the lifetime ECL for trade receivables and the general approach for other financial assets at amortized cost.

Tradereceivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer rather than the industry or country in which the customers operate and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk primarily arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At  the end of the financial year ended December 31, 2024, 76.3% of the total trade receivables were from three of the Group’s largest customers. In 2023, 58.8% of total trade receivables were from three of the Group largest customers.

Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Unless agreed the otherwise, trade receivables are generally due within 30 days from the date of billing. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

The Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated with reference to the credit spread for each of the groupings (which taking into consideration of historical credit loss experience, average actual date of receipt, customers’ background, listing status and size as groupings of various debtors), which reflect the credit risk of the debtors, over the expected life of the debtors and are adjusted for forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer bases.

The following table provides information about the Group’s exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables:

Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historic data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

The movements in loss allowance for trade receivables during the years are as follows:

Otherfinancial assets, at amortized cost

The Group’s other financial assets recognized at amortized cost are mainly comprised of cash and bank balances, non-trade receivables from non-related parties, deposits and prepayments. These other financial assets are subject to immaterial credit loss.

In determining the ECL, management has taken into account the historical default experience and the financial position of the counterparties, adjusted for factors that are specific to these receivables in estimating the probability of default of each of these other financial assets.

(d) Capital risk

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and a net current asset position to support its business and maximize its shareholders’ value. The capital structure of the Group comprises of issued share capital and retained earnings.

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

The Group is in compliance with all externally imposed capital requirements for the financial years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

(e) Fair value measurements

The notional amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values.

The fair value of the non-trade balances with the related parties has not been determined as the timing of the expected cash flows of these balances cannot be reasonably determined because of the relationship.

24.Forward Purchase Agreements (“FPA”)

On July 27, 2023, the Company, ESGL entered into an agreement (“Forward Purchase Agreement”) with Vellar Opportunities Fund Master, Ltd. (“Vellar”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction. On the same date as the execution of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Vellar assigned and novated 50% of its rights and obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement to ACM ARRT K LLC (“ARRT”, together with Vellar, the “Sellers”). Following the assignment and novation, the rights and obligations of each Seller under its Forward Purchase Agreement were and are separate and distinct from the those of the other Seller, with each Seller acting independently of the other, without reference to or knowledge of the other Seller’s actions or inactions.

The primary purpose of entering into the Forward Purchase Agreement was to provide cash to ESGL following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, ESGL is referred to as the “Counterparty”.

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Vellar purchased 931,915 shares, and ARRT 500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Recycled Shares”). In connection with these purchases, the Sellers revoked any redemption elections.

The Forward Purchase Agreement grants each Seller the right to purchase additional shares (the “Additional Shares”) up to an amount equal to the difference between the number of Recycled Shares for such Seller and 2,200,000 shares (which is the maximum number of shares for each Seller). On August 14, 2023, Vellar delivered a Pricing Date Notice to ESGL for 1,268,085 Additional Shares, which were issued effective as of that date. On August 4, 2023, ARRT delivered a Pricing Date Notice to ESGL for 550,000 Additional Shares, which were issued by ESGL effective as of that date. The sum of the Recycled Shares and the Additional Shares under the Forward Purchase Agreement is referred to as the “Number of Shares.”

24.Forward Purchase Agreements (“FPA”) (continued)

On September 15, 2023, the Company requested Additional Funds from Vellar in the amount of $1,000,000 notwithstanding that the Company was not eligible to submit a request for Additional Funds on such date pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement. On September 20, 2023, Vellar provided Additional Funds in the amount of $1,000,000 to the Company upon a Funding Request by the Company as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement, which amount comprises the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the Forward Purchase Agreement. The Company does not expect to receive any additional funds pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Each Seller agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to any Recycled Shares in connection with the Business Combination and agreed not to vote the shares it purchases pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement in favor of the Business Combination. Each Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On November 16, 2023, ESGL received written notice from ARRT that the Valuation Date of the Forward Purchase Agreement with ARRT shall be deemed to be November 16, 2023, as a result of the occurrence of a Registration Failure due to a failure to have an effective registration statement as of 90 days following the date of ARRT’s registration request (which was August 16, 2023). In no event will any additional cash amounts be paid by the Sellers, including ARRT as a result of accelerating the maturity date as described above, or ESGL at the Valuation Date or otherwise. On or about December 4, 2023, ESGL and ARRT mutually agreed to terminate the Forward Purchase Agreement. ARRT will continue to hold all 1,050,000 shares following termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement and ARRT will pay no amounts to ESGL.

ESGL received written notice from Vellar in March 2024 notifying that the Valuation Date of the Forward Purchase Agreement with Vellar shall be deemed March 14, 2024 for the same reason stated above. ESGL and Vellar mutually agreed to terminate the agreement on March 21, 2024. On March 22, 2024, ESGL and Vellar entered into a Valuation Period Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed that the Valuation Period concluded at 4:00 p.m. on March 21, 2024 and the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date was equal to 52,641. As 52,641 Shares multiplied by the VWAP of $0.45 less $4,400,000 (being the Settlement Amount Adjustment, calculated as the product of the Maximum Number of Shares and $2.00) is a negative number, neither Vellar nor ESGL is liable to the other party for any payment under the Forward Purchase Agreement. As a result of the conclusion of the Valuation Period, the obligations of Vellar and ESGL under the Forward Purchase Agreement have been terminated.

2)Acquisition of De Tomaso

On February 26, 2025, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DT”), and certain of DT’s shareholders named therein, including De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited, a Marshall Islands company, and Ideal Team Ventures Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from the DT shareholders, and the DT shareholders agreed to sell to the Company, the entire issued share capital of DT (the “DT Shares”), for the Consideration (as defined below), such that upon the closing, DT shall become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the DT shareholders shall become shareholders of the Company (the “Acquisition”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Company at the closing of the Acquisition to the DT shareholders is $1,030,000,000 (the “Consideration”), which will be paid in 1,000,000,000 newly issued ordinary shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed issue price of $1.03 per share.

De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited (the “company”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The address of the registered office and principal place of business of the company is disclosed in the corporate information section. The company’s principal activities are investment holdings, designing, developing and manufacturing of high-performance supercars De Tomaso P72 and P900. The principle activities of its subsidiaries (together with the company, collectively referred to as the “group”) are:-

None of the subsidiaries had issued any debt securities at the end of the year.

2. Basis of preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements and material accounting policy information

2.1 Basis of preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are subject to change during the audit process. In the opinion of the company’s management, such unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect a fair presentation of the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the periods presented.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$”), which is also the functional currency of the company, except where otherwise indicated.

The group incurred a net loss of US$10,237,449 for the year ended 31 December 2024 and, as of that date, the group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by US$96,231,687. These conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the group may not be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because the group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result from this uncertainty.

2.1 Basis of preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements (continued)
--- ---

Presently the company is undergoing research and development to design, develop and manufacture high-performance supercars. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of equity or debt financing, or both. Management believes that actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan, obtain additional funding and to achieve future profitable operations upon the sales of high-performance supercars, which provide the opportunity for the company to continue as a going concern. While the company believes in the viability of its strategy to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.

Should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, adjustments might be made to reclassify non-current assets to current assets, to write down the carrying values of assets to their estimated recoverable amounts and to provide for any further liabilities which might arise. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

2.2 Reorganisation

2.3 Application of new and amendments to standards
--- ---

In the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, the group has applied the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the IASB, for the first time, which are mandatorily effective for the group’s annual period beginning on 1 January 2024:-

Amendments<br> to IFRS 16 Lease<br> Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
Amendments<br> to IAS 1 Classification<br> of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and related amendments to Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020)
Amendments<br> to IAS 1 Non-current<br> Liabilities with Covenants
Amendments<br> to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 Supplier<br> Finance Arrangements

The application of the new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in the current year has had no material impact on the group’s financial positions and performance for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

2.4 Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of these unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group ‘s accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The sole director of the company has considered the development, selection and disclosure of the group’s critical accounting judgements and estimates.

Judgements

In the process of applying the group’s accounting policies, the sole director of the company has made the following judgements which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the unaudited consolidated financial statements:-

Determinationof functional currency

In determining the functional currency of the group, judgment is used by the management to determine the currency of the primary economic environment in which the group operates. Consideration factors include the currency that mainly influences sales prices of goods and services and the currency of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of its goods and services.

2.4 Significant judgements and estimates (continued)
--- ---

Usefullives of property, plant and equipment

The useful life of an item of property, plant and equipment is estimated at the time the asset is acquired and is based on historical experience with similar assets and takes into account anticipated technological or other changes. If changes occur more rapidly than anticipated or the asset experiences an unexpected level of wear and tear, the useful life will be adjusted accordingly. The carrying amount of the group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2024 was US$6,398,404 (2023: US$815,145).

2.5 Material accounting policy information
a) Basis of consolidation
--- ---

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 December 2024. A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the company. Control is achieved when the group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

When the company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:-

Power over the investee (i.e.,<br> existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
Exposure, or rights, to variable<br> returns from its involvement with the investee; and
The ability to use its power<br> over the investee to affect its returns.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the company, using consistent accounting policies. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

2. Basis of preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements and material accounting policy information (continued)
2.5 Material accounting policy information (continued)
--- ---
a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
--- ---

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:-

The<br> contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee;
Rights<br> arising from other contractual arrangements;
The<br> group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The group re-assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from the date the group gains control until the date the company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the group’s accounting policy information. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non- controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits with financial institutions which are subject to any insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired.

c) Fair value of financial instruments
--- ---

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amounts of the group’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, deposits, other receivables and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

d) Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment consist of a vehicle and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment initially recognised includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each reporting date. The effects of any revision are recognised in consolidated profit or loss when the changes arise.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in consolidated profit or loss when incurred.

On disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in consolidated profit or loss.

e) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets consist of trademarks of the brand De Tomaso. They are considered to have indefinite lives since it is expected to contribute to the cash flows of the entity for an unlimited period of time and therefore are not amortised.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured at the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the unaudited consolidated statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognised.

Research and development expenditure (“R&D”**)

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

e) Intangible assets (continued)
--- ---

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:-

the<br> technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for<br> use or sale;
the<br> intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
--- ---
the<br> ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
--- ---
how<br> the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
--- ---
the<br> availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development<br> and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
--- ---
the<br> ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its<br> development.
--- ---

R&D costs are currently expensed as incurred and primarily include cost associated with R&D arrangements with external parties in connection with the group’s high-performance supercars project.

f) Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever there is any objective evidence or indication that these assets may be impaired or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use of the asset or cash-generating unit to which it belongs and its fair value less costs to sell, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the unaudited consolidated profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such impairment loss is credited to the unaudited consolidated profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

f) Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets (continued)
--- ---

The group did not recognise any impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023.

g) Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of future usage on non-cancellable contracts. The contract liabilities will be derecognised and recognised as revenue when the group satisfies its performance obligation by delivering the supercars to its customers.

h) Revenue recognition

There were no revenues during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised when the group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

Revenue is recognised net of allowances for credits and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The group considers revenue realised or realisable and earned when all the following criteria are met:-

1) Identification<br> of the contract with a customer;
2) Identification<br> of the performance obligations in the contract;
--- ---
3) Determination<br> of the transaction price;
--- ---
4) Allocation<br> of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
--- ---
5) Recognition<br> of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognised when each<br> performance obligation is satisfied by the group. An estimate of the variable consideration<br> or performance obligations that the group ultimately expects to be entitled to is included<br> in the transaction price, and revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of the related performance<br> obligation(s). An implicit or explicit significant financing component is taken into consideration.<br> Each contract with customers is analysed for multiple elements to determine if any elements<br> must stand alone as separate performance obligations.

Product sale, payment milestone, warranty and commission

The transaction price is generally in the form of a fixed price which is agreed with the customer at contract inception. The transaction price is recorded net of any sales return, surcharges and value-added taxes on gross sales, if any. The group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the purchase orders. Customers’ deposits are required by three or four installments based on the contract terms.

Warranty is provided to customers for three years or a maximum of 36,000 miles per each De Tomaso P72 high-performance supercar.

Commission is provided to car dealers ranging from 10% to 20%. Since there is no revenue during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, no warranty nor commission was incurred.

Value-added taxes and surcharges

The group presents revenue net of value-added taxes (“VAT”) and surcharges incurred. VAT, business taxes and surcharges collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, are recorded as a liability in the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position until these are paid to the tax authorities. Since there is no revenue during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, no such costs were incurred.

Outbound freight and handling costs

The group accounts for product outbound freight and handling costs as fulfillment activities and presents the associated costs in selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which it sells the product. Since there is no revenue during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, no such costs were incurred.

i) Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and future tax deductions to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and deductions can be utilised. The group’s accounting policy is to treat interest and penalties as a component of income taxes.

Current tax assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the subsidiaries operate.

Currency exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates at the reporting date are recognised in consolidated profit or loss. Non-monetary items measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair values are determined.

All foreign exchange gains and losses impacting profit or loss are presented in statement of comprehensive income within “Other (expenses) and income, net”.

The functional currencies of DT UK and DT GmbH are currencies other than the US$. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the company at the exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expense items are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

3. New and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective

The group has not early applied the following new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:-

Amendments<br> to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments<br> to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments^3^
Amendments<br> to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts<br> Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity^3^
Amendments<br> to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale<br> or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture^1^
Amendments<br> to IFRS Accounting Standards Annual<br> Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11^3^
Amendments<br> to IAS 21 Lack<br> of Exchangeability^2^
IFRS<br> 18 Presentation<br> and Disclosure in Financial Statements^4^
IFRS<br> 19 Subsidiaries<br> without Public Accountability: Disclosures^4^

^1^Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.

^2^Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.

^3^Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.

^4^Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.

Except for the impact of IFRS 18 mentioned below, the sole director of the company anticipates that the application of all new and amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.

IFRS18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

IFRS 18, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace IAS 1 Presentation of FinancialStatements. Whilst many of the requirements will remain consistent, the new standard introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income; provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures in the notes to the financial statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the primary financial statements and the notes. In addition, some IAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to IAS 8 and IFRS 7. Minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.

IFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted, and will be applied retrospectively. The application of the new standard is expected to affect the presentation of the unaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income and disclosures in the future financial statements. The group is still currently assessing the impact that IFRS 18 will have on the group’s consolidated financial statements.

10.1 Subject<br> to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different<br> classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided<br> by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being<br> wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class<br> where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect<br> upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing<br> of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the<br> approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast<br> at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt,<br> the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material<br> adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any<br> such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply<br> mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or<br> representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder<br> of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

--- ---
10.3 The<br> rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other<br> rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares<br> of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking<br> pari passu therewith.

11 Commission on Sale of Shares
--- ---

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of that person subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

12 Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13 Lien on Shares
13.1 The<br> Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not)<br> registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts,<br> liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such<br> Member or their estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or<br> not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from<br> the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate<br> as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall<br> also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.
--- ---
| B-10 |

| --- | | 13.2 | The<br> Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company<br> has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not<br> paid within 14 clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received<br> by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death<br> or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied<br> with the Shares may be sold. | | --- | --- | | 13.3 | To<br> give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument<br> of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser.<br> The purchaser or their nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised<br> in any such transfer, and they shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase<br> money, nor shall their title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity<br> in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles. | | --- | --- | | 13.4 | The<br> net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part<br> of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance<br> shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before<br> the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale. | | --- | --- | | 14 | Call on Shares | | --- | --- | | 14.1 | Subject<br> to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon<br> the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value<br> or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least 14 clear days’ notice<br> specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified<br> the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part,<br> as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person<br> upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon them notwithstanding the<br> subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made. | | --- | --- | | 14.2 | A<br> call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising<br> such call was passed. | | --- | --- | | 14.3 | The<br> joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect<br> thereof. | | --- | --- | | 14.4 | If<br> a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due<br> shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is<br> paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have<br> been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive<br> payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part. | | --- | --- |

| B-11 |

| --- | | 14.5 | An<br> amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether<br> on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a<br> call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount<br> had become due and payable by virtue of a call. | | --- | --- | | 14.6 | The<br> Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of<br> calls, or the interest to be paid. | | --- | --- | | 14.7 | The<br> Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all<br> or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by that Member, and may<br> (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed<br> upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance. | | --- | --- | | 14.8 | No<br> such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion<br> of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon<br> which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable. | | --- | --- | | 15 | Forfeiture of Shares | | --- | --- | | 15.1 | If<br> a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors<br> may give to the person from whom it is due not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring<br> payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses<br> incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment<br> is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect<br> of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. | | --- | --- | | 15.2 | If<br> the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the<br> payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors.<br> Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable<br> in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture. | | --- | --- | | 15.3 | A<br> forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such<br> manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition<br> the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes<br> of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise<br> some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person. | | --- | --- | | 15.4 | A<br> person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them<br> and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited<br> and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture<br> were payable by that person to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest<br> at such rate as the Directors may determine, but that person’s liability shall cease<br> if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable<br> by them in respect of those Shares. | | --- | --- |

| B-12 |

| --- | | 15.5 | A<br> certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited<br> on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all<br> persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution<br> of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom<br> the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of<br> the purchase money, if any, nor shall their title to the Share be affected by any irregularity<br> or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the<br> Share. | | --- | --- | | 15.6 | The<br> provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any<br> sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on<br> account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue<br> of a call duly made and notified. | | --- | --- | | 16 | Transmission of Shares | | --- | --- | | 16.1 | If<br> a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where they were a joint holder) or their legal personal<br> representatives (where they were a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by<br> the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s Shares. The estate of a deceased<br> Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which the<br> Member was a joint or sole holder. | | --- | --- | | 16.2 | Any<br> person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation<br> or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence<br> being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by<br> that person to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person<br> nominated by them registered as the holder of such Share. If they elect to have another person<br> registered as the holder of such Share they shall sign an instrument of transfer of that<br> Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline<br> or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by<br> the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the<br> case may be. | | --- | --- | | 16.3 | A<br> person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or<br> dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the<br> same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which they would be entitled<br> if they were the holder of such Share. However, they shall not, before becoming a Member<br> in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership<br> in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice<br> requiring any such person to elect either to be registered or to have some person nominated<br> by them registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have<br> the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a<br> transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before their death or bankruptcy or liquidation<br> or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is<br> not complied with within 90 days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined<br> pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends,<br> other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements<br> of the notice have been complied with. | | --- | --- |
