Equity Ownership
| Holder | Shares Beneficially Owned | % of Outstanding | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aik Siang Goh | 0 | 0% | Record Date Oct 16, 2025 |
Top holders for context: H&L Logistics International LLC (Henry Liu) 2,700,600 (15.5%); Jiushen Transport LLC 3,000,000 (17.2%); Brink Holding Limited 910,330 (5.2%) .
Governance Assessment
- Strengths: Independent status; audit committee financial expert designation; chairing Nominating & Corporate Governance suggests active role in board composition and governance processes . Anti‑hedging policy in place; formal related‑party transaction policy overseen by Audit Committee .
- Alignment concerns: No disclosed share ownership as of Oct 16, 2025, limiting “skin‑in‑the‑game” alignment unless future equity grants are made under the 2025 LTIP .
- Board capital structure signals: Board is seeking substantial authority expansion—authorized common shares to 2,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 blank‑check preferred; lowering quorum to one‑third; and enabling non‑public issuances up to 100 million shares/$100 million, potentially dilutive and governance‑sensitive for investors .
- Treasury policy shift: Adoption of a Bitcoin/Ethereum treasury reserve strategy (subject to a 5% market cap threshold per asset) adds volatility/regulatory complexity; requires strong risk governance—Mr. Goh’s Web3/AI background could be additive but should be monitored for conflicts as the company scales crypto exposure .
RED FLAGS
- Zero disclosed share ownership for Mr. Goh as of the latest record date (alignment risk) .
- Board proposals increase discretion over capital issuance and introduce blank‑check preferred—potential dilution/anti‑takeover effects if misused .
- Crypto treasury reserve policy introduces non‑traditional balance sheet risk; requires robust controls and disclosures on custody, security, and accounting .
Monitoring Recommendations
- Track any equity grants to Mr. Goh under the 2025 LTIP and subsequent ownership accumulation (to improve alignment) .
- Review committee outputs (Nominating chair role) for board refresh/independence maintenance and governance guideline updates .
- Monitor for any related‑party transactions involving Mr. Goh’s ventures; none disclosed at appointment, but ongoing audit committee oversight is essential .
