Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Mr. McTaggart currently serves as our principal executive officer, and Mr. Pergande, an independent director, currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that having an independent director serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors is consistent with corporate governance best practices and is in the best interest of shareholders at this time. The structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting goals, objectives and agendas to establish priorities and procedures for the work of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors is engaged in the oversight of risk through regular updates from Mr. McTaggart, in his role as our Chief Executive Officer, and other members of our management team, regarding those risks confronting us (including risks relating to regulatory compliance, information technology and cybersecurity, environmental and sustainability, climate change and public health), the actions and strategies necessary to mitigate those risks and the status and effectiveness of those actions and strategies. The updates are provided at regularly scheduled Board of Directors and committee meetings as well as through more frequent informal meetings that include the Chairman of the Board of Directors, our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Operating Officer, Vice President of Information Technology

5


and other members of our management team. The Board of Directors provides insight into the issues, based on the experience of its members, and provides constructive challenges to management’s assumptions and assertions.

Cybersecurity Risk
Our information technology (“IT”) and cybersecurity programs are crucial to maintaining secure operations, which enable us to deliver on our promise to customers and maintain stakeholder trust. Our Vice President of Information Technology (“VP IT”) is responsible for establishing, implementing, and executing our cybersecurity program and strategy. Our VP IT has more than 25 years of IT, IT audit, and cybersecurity experience, and is involved in assessing the latest developments in cybersecurity, including potential threats and innovative risk management techniques. All IT staff are obliged to include cybersecurity as part of their everyday considerations and tasks.
Our cybersecurity program is a critical component of our enterprise risk management process overseen by our Board of Directors, and we have integrated cybersecurity-related risks into our overall enterprise risk management framework. Additionally, cybersecurity-related risks are included in the risk universe that the risk management function evaluates to assess top risks to the enterprise on an annual basis.
Our IT department proactively identifies, manages, and mitigates cyber risk in a variety of ways, including but not limited to:

A formal enterprise-wide cybersecurity policy and related standards;

Cybersecurity training and employee phishing simulations;

Ongoing vulnerability assessment, identification, and remediation;

Cyber incident response, IT disaster recovery, and business continuity plans;

Identity and access management controls;

Automated patch management and security updates;

Network isolation of key operations environments; and

Email filtering with attachment inspection and targeted threat protection.
The standards set in our cybersecurity program include the implementation of controls that are aligned with industry guidelines and applicable regulations to identify threats, deter attacks, and protect our information security assets. These standards are guided, in part, by the relevant National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and American Water Works Association (AWWA) frameworks and guidance. We use various tools, security measures and technologies to aid in seeking to protect our network perimeter and internal systems from unauthorized access, intrusion, or disruption. Assessments are conducted across our systems, networks, and data infrastructure to identify potential cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.
We have policies and procedures in place for selecting and managing our relationships with third-party service providers and other business partners, including monitoring compliance with our agreements and regulatory and legal requirements. We also actively engage with industry participants and related communities as part of our continuing efforts to evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of our information security policies and procedures. In addition, a monitoring and detection system has been implemented to help identify cybersecurity threats and incidents. Our cybersecurity program also focuses on providing training and awareness to our employees and contractors on cybersecurity best practices.
Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity and other IT risks. The Audit Committee oversees management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.
The Audit Committee oversees the management of our cybersecurity risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. At each quarterly meeting, the Audit Committee receives an update from our VP IT and other members of management on relevant topics, including cybersecurity program maturity progress, new capabilities implemented, testing results, key cyber risk metrics (e.g., simulated

6


phishing testing and vulnerability management) and notable incidents or events should they occur. On an annual basis, our Board of Directors meets with our VP IT and our third-party cybersecurity consultant to review our cybersecurity strategy. In accordance with our cybersecurity incident response plan, our Board of Directors is promptly informed of potentially material cybersecurity incidents, including with respect to our third-party service providers.
Although we have experienced cybersecurity incidents from time to time that have not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, there can be no assurance that a cyber-attack, security breach, or other cybersecurity incident will not have a material adverse effect on us in the future.
Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.
Governance of the Company

Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association, the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law, the Company’s business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

The Board of Directors has determined that the directors nominated for re-election and all of the directors whose terms will continue after the Meeting (with the exception of Mr. McTaggart) are “independent” as such term is defined by the applicable listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”). The Board of Directors based this determination primarily on a review of the responses of the directors to questions regarding their employment, affiliations, family and other relationships.

The Company schedules meetings of the Board of Directors quarterly, in conjunction with its Annual General Meeting, and as necessary throughout the year. The Company expects that all directors will attend each meeting, absent a valid reason, such as a scheduling conflict. The Board of Directors held sixseven meetings during 2021.

2023.

Each director (including specifically both of the Group I directors) attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of (a) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during 20212023 and (b) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she served during 2021.

2023, other than Linda Beidler-D’Aguilar who attended 69% of the aggregate number of such meetings.

The Board of Directors also has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the Company’sCompany directors, officers (including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website: http://www.cwco.com.

If, in the future, the Board of Directors amends the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grants a waiver to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer with respect to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Company will post the amendment or a description of the waiver on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website.

Insider Trading and Hedging Policy

The Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading and Disclosure of Non-Public Information Policy, which applies to all of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives and is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any applicable NASDAQ listing standards. The insider trading policy expressly prohibits directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Company from purchasing or selling the Company’s securities while in possession of material, non-public information, or otherwise using such information for their personal benefit. It further

7


prohibits directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives from engaging in hedging transactions, such as purchasing or writing derivative securities including puts and calls and entering into short sales or short positions with respect to the Company’s stock.
Our directors, officer, employees, agents and representatives are permitted to enter into trading plans that are intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), so that they can prudently diversify their asset portfolios and exercise their stock options before expiration.
Our Insider Trading and Disclosure of Non-Public Information Policy is posted on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website: http://www.cwco.com and has been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024.
Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has four committees: (1) the Compensation Committee; (2) the Audit Committee; (3) the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee and (4) the recently formed Environmental and Social and Governance Committee. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for each of these committees, other than the Environmental, Social and Governance.committees. The charters for the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominations and Corporate Governance are posted on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website: http://www.cwco.com.

Once adopted, such charter also will be posted on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter every three years, unless changes in circumstances or regulatory requirements necessitate assessment on a more frequent basis. During the year, the Board of Directors examined the composition of the Audit Committee in light of NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules and the regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to audit committees.

PROPOSAL 2

Amendments to Memorandum

Preliminary Statement

This Proposal 2 relates to a Special Resolution adopting amendments to the Memorandum that would (a) replace references therein from “The Companies Law (1998 Revision)” to “The Companies Act (Revised);” and (b) add the postal code for the Company’s registered office. The full text of the Special Resolution adopting the amendments discussed below is set forth on Exhibit A. You should carefully review (1) the discussion of the proposed amendments which follows; (2) the full text of the Special Resolution set forth on Exhibit A; (3) the marked version of the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association, including the full text of the amendments proposed to be made to the existing Memorandum, set forth on Appendix A; and (4) the information on page _______ through page _______ of this Proxy Statement before making a decision whether to vote in favor of this Proposal 2.

General

As presently constituted, the Memorandum (a) refers to “The Companies Law (1998 Revision)” and (b) does not include the postal code of the Company’s registered office. The Companies Law (1998 Revision) was replaced by The Companies Act (Revised) in December 2020. As the Board had determined to make amendments to the Articles, it decided that it also would be appropriate to revise the Memorandum at this time.

The Board of Directors has approved, and unanimously recommends that the shareholders approve by Special Resolution, an amendment of the Memorandum to (a) replace references therein from “The Companies Law (1998 Revision)” to “The Companies Act (Revised);” and (b) add the postal code for the Company’s registered office.

If no action is taken to amend the Memorandum as proposed, the Memorandum would continue to reference The Companies Law (1998 Revision) and the postal code of the Company’s registered office would remain missing. The practical effect thereof would be minimal, as The Companies Act (Revised) replaced The Companies Law in December 2020 and the Company’s address would remain unchanged.

If the proposal to amend the Memorandum is approved by the shareholders, the Memorandum would be more accurate and complete, as it would be updated to reference The Companies Act (Revised) and the postal code of the Company’s registered office would be added.

Special Resolution

A Special Resolution of the shareholders is required to amend the Memorandum to (a) replace references therein from “The Companies Law (1998 Revision)” to “The Companies Act (Revised);” and (b) add the postal code for the Company’s registered office. The Articles require the Special Resolution to be approved by the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least 75% of the Shares cast at the Annual General Meeting. The text of the resolution is set forth on Exhibit A.

If the resolution is approved by the shareholders, the amendment will be effective immediately upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association, subject to the approval of Proposal 5, with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and payment of the requisite fee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSED SPECIAL RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE AMENDMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM.

21

PROPOSAL 3

Amendments to Articles

Preliminary Statement

This Proposal 3 relates to a Special Resolution adopting amendments to the Articles that would (a) add the definition of “Designated Stock Exchange” in connection with the provisions concerning the manner in which shares may be transferred; (b) update the definition of “in writing” and “written” to account for advances in technology; (c) update references to applicable laws; (d) change the manner in, and form by, which shares may be transferred, including in the forms prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange and to account for advances in technology; (e) clarify the circumstances around which the Company has a lien on the shares of a shareholder; (f) change the manner in which shareholders’ votes will be cast and recorded; and (g) eliminate the classified board structure and three-year terms of office for directors, and replacing such structure and terms with a non-classified board structure and one-year terms. Each amendment is discussed separately below. Shareholders will vote on the amendments discussed in this section as one proposal.

The full text of the Special Resolution adopting the amendments discussed below is set forth on Exhibit B. You should carefully review (1) the discussion of the proposed amendments which follows; (2) the full text of the Special Resolution set forth on Exhibit B; (3) the marked version of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association, including the full text of every amendment proposed to be made to the existing Articles, set forth on Appendix B; and (4) the information on page _______ through page _______ of this Proxy Statement before making a decision whether to vote in favor of this Proposal 2.

General

Definition of Designated Stock Exchange

The Articles, in their present form, do not contain a definition of “Designated Stock Exchange.” The definition is being added in connection with the amendments to the Articles relating to the manner in which shares may be transferred. As discussed in greater detail below, such amendments will allow shareholders to transfer shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the “Designated Stock Exchange.” For this purpose, “Designated Stock Exchange” will mean “The Nasdaq Stock Market or such other stock exchange as may be determined from time to time by the Directors.”

If no action is taken to amend the Articles as proposed, the Articles will continue without a definition for “Designated Stock Exchange.” If the proposal to amend the Articles is approved by the shareholders, the Articles will include the new definition.

Definition of “In Writing” and “Written”

The current Articles define “written” and “in writing” to mean “all methods of representing, reproducing or communicating words or numerals in permanent visible form, including printing, lithography, photography, telecopying and telexing.” The amendment changes the definition to mean “facsimile, printing, lithography, photography, electronic mail and other modes of representing words in permanent visible form.” As the world has become increasingly more digital, accelerated by the remote-work environment adopted in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the definition needed to be made more contemporary. The practical effect of amending the definition would be minimal, as the current definition is broad enough that it includes digital expressions.

If no action is taken to amend the Articles as proposed, the Articles will continue with the current definition for “written” and “in writing.” If the proposal to amend the Articles is approved by the shareholders, the Articles will include the new definition.

Updating References to Applicable Laws

As presently constituted, the Articles refer to (a) “The Companies Law (1998 Revision)” and (b) “Mental Health Law.” in Article 23.06 (c) and the substitution of the words “Mental Health Act.” As noted in connection with Proposal 2, The Companies Law (1998 Revision) was replaced by The Companies Act (Revised) in December 2020. Similarly, The Mental Health Law was replaced by the Mental Health Act in December 2020. As the Board had determined to make other amendments to the Articles, it decided that it also would be appropriate to change the references to these laws at this time. As with the amendment to the definition of “written” and “in writing,” the practical effect of amending the references to these laws would be minimal, as the current references are deemed to refer to the succeeding laws.

22

If no action is taken to amend the Articles as proposed, the Articles would continue to reference the previous versions of the laws. If the proposal to amend the Articles is approved by the shareholders, the Articles would be more accurate and complete, as it would be updated to reference the current laws.

Change Manner and Form of Share Transfers

The Articles currently require share transfers to be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and, in the case of partly paid shares, by the transferee. The proposed amendment would all for shares to be transferred by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the Directors and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or a central depository 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. This amendment is being proposed to allow for greater latitude in the manner and form of share transfers in light of the increasingly digital nature of the world.

If no action is taken to amend the Articles as proposed, the Articles would continue to require share transfers to be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and, in some cases, by the transferee. If the proposal to amend the Articles is approved by the shareholders, the Articles would allow for shares to be transferred by a wider variety of manners and forms.

Circumstances of Company Lien on Shares

The Articles currently provided that the Company will have a “first and paramount lien and charge on all shares, whether or not fully paid-up, for all the debts and obligations of the holder (or, in the case of joint holders, of any one or more of the joint holders) but the Directors may at any time waive the lien generally or as regards any particular debt or obligation or category of debts or obligations.” The proposes amendment would replace “for all the debts and obligations of the holder” with “standing registered in the name of a single holder for all moneys presently payable by him or his estate to the Company.” The purpose for this amendment is that the current language does not limit the debts and obligations for which shares may be subject to a lien to debts and obligations that are owed to the Company, but rather any debts and obligations. Further, the revised language extends the lien to shares held by the estate of the holder for debts and obligations of the holder or the estate.

If no action is taken to amend the Articles as proposed, the Articles would continue to include “for all the debts and obligations of the holder.” If the proposal to amend the Articles is approved by the shareholders, the Articles would be amended to substitute the words “standing registered in the name of a single holder for all moneys presently payable by him or his estate to the Company.”

Eliminate Classified Board Structure and Three-Year Terms of Office for Directors

The Company’s Articles currently provide for a "classified" board structure, which means that our Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors based on the expiration of their terms. Under this classified board structure, directors are elected to terms that expire on the date of the Annual General Meeting three years following the Annual General Meeting at which they were elected, and the terms are "staggered" so that the terms of approximately one-third of the directors expire each year. Upon the recommendation of our Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board of Directors has approved, and recommends to the shareholders for approval, an amendment to the Articles to repeal the Company's classified board structure and to require that all directors be elected annually. As discussed below, the transition to the annual election of directors will apply to all directors beginning with the Company's 2023 Annual General Meeting of shareholders.

23

This proposal is a result of our Board’s ongoing review of our corporate governance practices. In its review, our Board considered the advantages of maintaining the classified board structure in light of the Company's current circumstances, including that a classified board structure promotes board continuity and stability and encourages a long-term perspective by management and the Board. Classified boards also provide protection against certain abusive takeover tactics and more time to solicit higher bids in a hostile takeover situation because it is more difficult to change a majority of directors on the Board in a single year. While our Board continues to believe that these are important considerations, our Board also considered the advantages of declassification in light of the Company’s current circumstances, including the ability of the Company's shareholders to evaluate directors annually. Annually elected boards of directors are perceived by many institutional shareholders as increasing the accountability of directors to such shareholders. After carefully weighing all of these considerations, our Board approved the proposed amendment to the Articles to repeal the Company's classified board structure.

If this proposal is not approved, the proposed amendment to the Articles will not take effect. The Board would retain its current classified structure, and each director elected at this Annual General Meeting will be elected for a three-year term expiring in 2025. All other directors will continue in office for the remainder of their existing three-year terms.

If this proposal is approved:

·each director elected at the 2022 Annual General Meeting would be elected for a one-year term or until his or her successor is elected;

·the terms of directors previously elected for three-year terms ending as of the date of the 2024 Annual General Meeting would expire as of the date of the 2023 Annual General Meeting; and

·directors standing for election at the 2023 Annual General Meeting, and each Annual General Meeting thereafter, will be elected for a one-year term ending at the next Annual General Meeting or until his or her successor is elected.

Special Resolution

A Special Resolution of the shareholders is required to adopt amendments to the Articles that would (a) add the definition of “Designated Stock Exchange” in connection with the provisions concerning the manner in which shares may be transferred; (b) update the definition of “in writing” and “written” to account for advances in technology; (c) update references to applicable laws; (d) change the manner in, and form by, which shares may be transferred, including in the forms prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange and to account for advances in technology; (e) clarify the circumstances around which the Company has a lien on the shares of a shareholder; (f) change the manner in which shareholders’ votes will be cast and recorded; and (g) eliminate the classified board structure and three-year terms of office for directors, and replacing such structure and terms with a non-classified board structure and one-year terms. The Articles require the Special Resolution to be approved by the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least 75% of the Shares cast at the Annual General Meeting. The text of the resolution is set forth on Exhibit B.

If the resolution is approved by the shareholders, the amendment will be effective immediately upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association, subject to the approval of Proposal 5, with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and payment of the requisite fee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSED SPECIAL RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.

PROPOSAL 6

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2011 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires companies that are subject to the SEC’s proxy rules and regulations to hold a shareholder vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of their Named Executive Officers as disclosed in their proxy statements in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation,” our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain our Named Executive Officers, who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our Named Executive Officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, and long-term strategic and corporate goals. Please read the “Executive Compensation” section included in this Proxy Statement for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information relating to the fiscal year 20212023 compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our shareholders’ interests and current market practices. The Compensation Committee believes the Company’s executive compensation programs have been effective at incentivizing the achievement of financial performance and returns to shareholders.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officers’ compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual General Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 20222024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the 20212023 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders, and to the extent that there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officers’ compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our shareholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. In addition to the advisory vote on executive compensation, we are committed to ongoing engagement with our shareholders on executive compensation and corporate governance issues.

At the 20212023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, approximately 93%92% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the executive compensation proposal were cast in favor of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement for last year’s meeting. Our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee reviewed these final vote results and determined that, given the level of support, the Company should maintain the components of our compensation program.
We have determined that our shareholders should vote on a say-on-pay proposal each year, consistent with the preference expressed by our shareholders at the 20172023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The approval of holders of at least a majority of the Shares cast is required to approve this proposal. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SEC.

We are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

In the event that our shareholders do not ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares voted at the Annual General Meeting is necessary to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Our Chief Executive Officer’s, Chief Financial Officer’s and Chief Operating Officer’s employment agreements provide for a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months, 12 months and six12 months (or the severance payment required by the Cayman Islands Labour Act, if greater), respectively, of their then current respective base salaries if their employment agreements are not renewed. The Committee negotiated these severance packages to provide them with an amount equal to their base salary for the length of their non-competition arrangements with us. The following table sets forth the total amount of severance payments that would be made to Messrs. McTaggart, Sasnett and Jerrybandan if their employment agreements were terminated without cause as of December 31, 2021:

Change in Control

Upon a “Change in Control,” as defined below, our Chief Financial Officer may elect to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment based uponin an amount equal to 36 months of his then current base salary. If we (or our successor) terminate our Chief Operating Officer’s employment within one year following a Change of Control, we (or our successor) will pay our Chief Operating Officer a lump sum in cash in an amount equal to two times his then-current base salary, plus all other compensation accrued as of the effective date of termination.
After reviewing the practices of companies represented in the compensation data we obtained, we believe that our Chief Financial Officer’s and our Chief Operating Officer’s Change in Control arrangements are generally in line with such arrangements offered to chief financial officers and chief operating officers of comparable companies.
In determining whether to approve and setting the terms of such Change in Control arrangements, the Committee recognizes the importance to us and our shareholders of avoiding the distraction and loss of key management personnel that may occur in connection with rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. A properly arranged Change in Control provision protects shareholder interests by enhancing employee focus during rumored or actual Change in Control activity through:

·Incentives to remain with us despite uncertainties while a transaction is under consideration or pending; and

·

Incentives to remain with us despite uncertainties while a transaction is under consideration or pending; and

Assurance of compensation for terminated employees after a Change in Control.

Our Chief Financial Officer’s employment agreement provides that, at his election, he may terminate his employment upon a Change in Control and receive a payment of 36 months of his then current base salary. After reviewing the practices of companies represented in the compensation data we obtained, we believe that our Chief Financial Officer’s Change in Control arrangement is generally in line with such arrangements offered to chief financial officers of comparable companies.

Control.

For the purposes of this discussion, a “Change in Control” occurs when: (i) any person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, publicly announces that such person or group has become the beneficial owner of more than 30% of the combined voting power (“Controlling Voting Power”) of our then outstanding securities that may be cast for the election of directors and (ii) the persons who were our

26


directors before such event shall cease to constitute a majority of our Board of Directors, or any successor, as the direct or indirect result of any person or group acquiring Controlling Voting Power.

27.04A meeting of the Directors may be held, and any Director may participate in a meeting, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting are capable of hearing each other; and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.

This Article shall apply equally to a case in which there was no appointment as to the case in which there was a defective appointment.
27.11A Director who is present at a meeting of the Directors at which action on any matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or he shall file his written dissent with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall send his written dissent to the Registered Office immediately after the meeting, provided that this right of dissent shall not apply in the case of a Director who voted in favour of the action.

18

33.10 (a)The Directors shall have the power to cease sending dividend warrants, if such warrants have been returned undelivered or left uncashed, provided that such power shall not be exercised until either such warrants have been so returned or left uncashed on two consecutive occasions or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish any new address of the holder;

(b)Any dividend that has remained unclaimed for twelve years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if the Directors so resolve, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company;
The Directors shall have the power to sell the shares (which shall include the power for the Company to purchase such shares) of any holder who is untraceable, provided that such power shall not be exercisable unless:
(i)during a period of not less than 12 years three dividends in respect of the shares in question have become payable and no dividend during that period has been claimed; and
(ii)on or after the expiry of such period the Company has given notice by such method as the Directors shall deem fit of its intention to sell the shares within the time frame stated therein, and no response is received, save that the Directors in their absolute discretion may dispense with such notice,

and, in the event of such a sale, the Directors shall authorise any one or more Directors or Officers of the Company to sign the transfer on behalf of any such untraceable holder notwithstanding it being unaccompanied by the certificate (if any) for the shares to which it relates and shall cause the name of name of the purchaser(s) of such share to be entered in the Register.

19
