Strategic Expansion into High-Value Regions

Great Lakes & Florida Expansion

Strategic Partnership with Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales

In February 2026, OTH announced a strategic partnership with Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales (JBYS), a premier Michigan-based brokerage with over 50 years of operating history and nine locations across the Great Lakes and Florida.

• OTH receives a right of first refusal on 100% of JBYS yacht trades
• Creates a high-velocity pipeline of pre-owned inventory
• Provides immediate access to key freshwater and seasonal markets
• Enables expansion without incremental staffing or dealership buildouts

This partnership exemplifies OTH's strategy of leveraging established regional leaders to rapidly scale inventory flow and market reach.

Caribbean & Latin America Expansion

Strategic Agreement with CFR Yacht Sales (Puerto Rico)

In January 2026, OTH entered into a strategic agreement with CFR Yacht Sales, a leading brokerage based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, marking OTH's entry into the Caribbean and Latin American markets.

Under the agreement:

• OTH gains preferred access to select pre-owned vessels generated through CFR's brokerage and trade activity
• CFR supports sourcing, verification, logistics, and regional wholesale visibility
• OTH gains access to brokerage facilities and inventory without direct capital investment

This expansion positions OTH to tap into a historically fragmented but high-value international market for pre-owned yachts.

Inventory Financing Expansion to Support Growth

In January 2026, OTH increased its inventory financing floorplan to $60 million, more than doubling capacity since its IPO. The expanded facility strengthens OTH's ability to acquire and carry high-quality inventory across multiple geographies.

Key benefits include:

• Broader inventory selection across price points and regions
• Faster turn times and improved conversion rates
• Increased transaction velocity supported by AI-driven matching tools
• Enhanced margin opportunities through vertically integrated services, including financing, insurance, warranties, and ancillary offerings

The program:

• Rewards high-performing dealer partners with private aviation flight hours
• Strengthens dealer loyalty and engagement
• Accelerates inventory intake and transaction volume

Capital Allocation & Shareholder Value

In January 2026, OTH's Board authorized a $1 million share repurchase program, reflecting management's view that the Company's current valuation does not fully reflect its earnings power or long-term opportunity.

Management continues to balance:
