Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Each holder of the Company’s Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to one (1) vote in respect of each Ordinary Share held on the Record Date.  If your Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, and you wish to attend the AGM and vote, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Beneficial owners who own their investments through a bank or broker or other nominee will need to obtain a “control number” to vote their shares at the AGM.  Please contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to receive a control number at least 72 hours before the AGM.

 

This Proxy Statement describing the matters to be voted upon at the AGM along with a proxy card enabling the shareholders to mail in their votes will be mailed on or about 25 November 2022, to all shareholders entitled to vote at the AGM. Such Proxy Statement will also be furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, under cover of Form 6-K and will be available on our website at www.triterras.com  on or about 25 November 2022.

 

Whether or not you plan to attend the AGM, it is important that your shares be represented and voted. Accordingly, after reading this Notice and accompanying Proxy Statement, please sign, date and mail the proxy card or vote over the Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card. The proxy card must be received by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company no later than 9.00 a.m. Singapore Time on 5 December 2022 to be validly included in the tally of shares voted at the AGM. Detailed proxy voting instructions are provided on the proxy card. In the case of a shareholder that is a natural person, the proxy card must be executed under the hand of the shareholder or his or her attorney-in-fact. In the case of a shareholder that is a corporation or other non-natural person, the proxy card must be executed on its behalf by a duly authorized representative or attorney-in-fact for the corporation.

WHO CAN VOTE AT THE AGM?  WHAT IS THE QUORUM?

 

Shareholders of record of the Ordinary Shares of the Company at the close of business on 15 November, 2022, the record date for the AGM (the “Record Date”), and beneficial owners having received a control number from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least 72 hours before the AGM, will be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM or at any adjournment thereof online at https://www.cstproxy.com/triterras/2022.  

 

Shareholders entitled to vote and be present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder being a corporation or other entity) by its duly authorized representative, representing a majority of Ordinary Shares in the Company shall form a quorum.

 

WHAT VOTE THRESHOLD IS REQUIRED?

 

For resolutions 1 through 4 inclusive, which are ordinary resolutions under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal that were present and voted at the AGM are required to pass each such resolution. 

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A “SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD” AND A “BENEFICIAL OWNER” HOLDING SHARES IN STREET NAME?

 

Shareholder of Record: You are a “shareholder of record” if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust. The Notice of AGM and this Proxy Statement will be mailed directly to each of the Company’s shareholders of record.

 

Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares, which are said to be held in “street name,” and your bank or other nominee is considered the shareholder of record with respect to such shares. Your bank or other nominee would usually forward the Notice of AGM and this Proxy Statement to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or other nominee how to vote your shares. Because a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you should not attend the AGM unless you first obtain a legal proxy from the bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote such shares at the AGM. You will then need to contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to receive a control number at least 72 hours before the AGM to be able to vote the relevant Ordinary Shares at the AGM.

 

HOW TO VOTE?

 

Shareholders of record can vote their shares in person by attending the virtual AGM via this link: https://www.cstproxy.com/triterras/2022.

 

Prior to the AGM, shareholders can also vote over the Internet at www.cstproxyvote.com in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card or by mail by completing, signing and mailing your proxy card. The proxy card must be received by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company no later than 9.00 a.m. Singapore Time on 5 December 2022 to be validly included in the tally of shares voted at the AGM.

 

In the case of joint shareholders, where more than one of the joint shareholders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder (being the first named holder in respect of the shares in the Company's register of members) will be accepted.

 

If you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares. Because a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you should not attend the AGM unless you in turn obtain a legal proxy from the bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote such shares at the AGM. You will then need to contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to receive a control number at least 72 hours before the AGM to be able to vote the relevant Ordinary Shares at the AGM.

 

MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?

 

If you receive more than one proxy card, it likely means your shares are registered differently. Please use each proxy card to vote so as to ensure all of the shares you hold are voted.

WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED?

 

Shareholders of Record: If you are a shareholder of record and you properly submit your proxy but do not give voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares “FOR” each of proposals. If you do not return a proxy, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, and your shares will not be voted.

 

Beneficial Owners: If you are a beneficial owner whose Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” and you do not give voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, then your bank, broker or other nominee may exercise discretionary authority to vote only on matters that it determines to be “routine.”  Your bank, broker or other nominee may take the view that none of the proposals at the AGM are "routine", and therefore none of the shares for which you are the beneficial owner may be voted at the AGM. We recommend you submit your voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee in accordance with their relevant procedures to enable the relevant shares to be voted at the AGM.

 

CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE OR REVOKE MY PROXY?

 

If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised at the AGM by filing
with the Company a duly signed revocation at CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, 1 STATE STREET FLOOR 30, NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. 10275-0741, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Attending and voting at the AGM will have the effect of revoking your proxy. If you are a beneficial owner whose Ordinary Shares are held through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee in accordance with their requirements. If you have been provided with a proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to receive a control number at least 72 hours before the AGM to be able to vote the relevant Ordinary Shares at the AGM.

 

HOW DO I KNOW THE VOTING RESULTS?

 

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as inspector of the votes at the AGM and will count and certify the votes cast at the AGM. We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the AGM, and we will report the final results in a Form 6-K filing, which we will file with the SEC after the AGM.

 

WHERE CAN I GET A COPY OF THE AGM MATERIALS?
