NEW YORK<\/span>, Nov. 8, 2025 \/PRNewswire\/ — HTCO (NASDAQ: HTCO) today announced that it has entered into a financing agreement for an investment of up to US $20 million<\/span> by an accredited investor, a move designed to accelerate the Company’s strategic development of investment in its AI platform to improve operational efficiency and support related digital transformation initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the terms of the agreement, the financing will be implemented in multiple tranches, with the first tranche of US $3 million<\/span> having been successfully funded. Notably, the Company emphasized that this facility does not include any warrants, ensuring alignment with the Company’s disciplined capital structure strategy.<\/p>\n

Pursuant to the agreement, the investor has committed to a “daily trading volume limit not exceeding 15 percent of total daily trading volume” for any subsequent share transactions related to this financing. This provision is intended to maintain market stability and safeguard the interests of existing and new shareholders.<\/p>\n

The listing and trading of the shares issued in connection with the initial US $3 million<\/span> financing are subject to the Company filing a F-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that must become effective within a 120-day period.<\/p>\n

The Company further noted that it has not yet determined whether it will require additional financing beyond the initial US $3 million<\/span>. Any decisions regarding subsequent closings will be based on the Company’s ongoing capital planning, operational needs and prevailing market conditions.<\/p>\n

Chris Nixon Cox<\/span>, Company Chairman, stated, “This strategic financing reflects strong market confidence in HTCO’s long-term vision for marine digital transformation and the Company’s ability to continue to advance technological innovation and optimize capital efficiency\u2014all to drive sustainable value creation for our shareholders.”<\/p>\n
