Powermatic Data Systems Limited Announces Cessation of Jason Tao Ping as Chief Executive Officer, Effective 30 June 2025 The Board of Directors of Powermatic Data Systems Limited refers to the queries from the SGX-Regco on 18 June 2025 in relation to the Company's announcements on cessation of Mr. Jason Tao Ping as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company effective 30 June 2025. The employment contract between the Company and Jason Tao Ping ("Jason") was terminated by the Company giving him notice pursuant to his employment contract. The cessation was due to differences between Jason and the Board over priorities, strategies and expectations relating to the leadership and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). Jason has not raised any concerns or issues to the Board on any matters that would have a material impact on the Company or its financial reporting (including its financial statements), including during a meeting between him and two members of the Board (both non-executive directors, one of whom is the Nominating Committee Chairman) which took place before the Company made the decision to issue the notice of termination. It should be noted that insofar as finance matters are concerned, the finance manager has direct access to the independent non-executive directors, among them, the Audit and Risk Management Committee Chairman. Notwithstanding the recent appointment of the chief executive officer, the Board continues to look to the Executive Chairman and Executive Director as well for management accountability. In conjunction with the appointment of the chief executive officer, an executive committee comprising both the executive directors, chief executive officer and key management staff was to be formed. This was to ensure smooth transition and accountability. Although the cessation of the chief executive officer delays succession planning, it will not result in any change or disruption to the operations of the Group since the Executive Chairman and the Executive Director have remained actively involved in the management of the Group. In the meantime, the Company will continue to look for suitable candidates to effect its succession plans. New Risk • May 27

Now 21% undervalued Over the last 90 days, the stock has risen 5.6% to S$3.20. The fair value is estimated to be S$4.07, however this is not to be taken as a buy recommendation but rather should be used as a guide only. Revenue has grown by 4.1% over the last 3 years, while earnings per share has been flat. Declared Dividend • Jul 31
Dividend of S$0.10 announced Dividend of S$0.10 is the same as last year. Ex-date: 15th August 2024 Payment date: 26th August 2024 Dividend yield will be 2.8%, which is about the same as the industry average. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by both earnings (42% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (58% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 7.2% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 54% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 9.8% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 51% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 0.4% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (15% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (S$103.5m market cap, or US$76.7m). Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jun 07

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Singaporean stocks, typically moving 7.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.7% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (S$102.8m market cap, or US$76.6m). Reported Earnings • Nov 20
