Regulatory Developments Related to Offshore Critical Mineral Exploration
Current report
On April 24, 2025, the President of the United States issued Executive Order 14285, titled “Unleashing America’s Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources.” This directive mandates federal agencies to expedite the responsible exploration and development of seabed mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf of the U.S., quantify the nation's offshore mineral endowment, and reinvigorate domestic leadership in extraction and processing technologies. The order further prioritizes the establishment of secure domestic supply chains for critical inputs essential to U.S. national security, energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and food security.
Current report
Odyssey is well positioned to benefit from the regulatory momentum and policy priorities laid out in the executive order. Our projects focus on ocean mineral resources that are essential for both agricultural resilience and emerging clean energy technologies. Our subsea mineral exploration experience is directly applicable to all of the projects being considered by the U.S. government.
Current report
In addition, Odyssey has been qualified by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to acquire and hold a marine minerals lease since 2021, and we will consider submitting lease applications based on the new permitting framework. Lease applications are subject to agency review and public process, but recent regulatory actions in response to the executive order are expected to accelerate timelines and enhance the transparency and predictability of the permitting process.
Current report
Marketing, general and administrative expenses primarily include all costs within the following departments: Executive, Finance & Accounting, Legal, Information Technology, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications, Sales and Business Development. Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $3.8 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in director fees of $2.2 million in connection with the Mexican Corporate Transactions, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million of professional services fees for audit and consulting, a decrease of $0.2 million in legal fees, and a decrease of $56,000 in stock-based compensation.
Current report
Operations and research expenses are primarily focused on deep-sea mineral exploration, which include minerals research, scientific services, marine operations and project management. Operations and research expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were to $0.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to $0.6 million of decreased costs associated with licenses and permits, which stopped accruing in June 2024, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in professional fees driven by the Mexican Corporate Transactions.
Current report
Total Other Income/Expense
Current report
Total other income/expenses were expenses of $12.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulting in a net expense increase of $12.1 million. The increased loss was attributable to: (i) a $1.8 million increase in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, relating primarily to the change in fair value of warrants; (ii) $9.4 million of other income in 2024 from our residual economic interest from our legacy shipwreck business that was not present in 2025, and (iii) a $1.2 million decreased foreign exchange income, which were offset by (x) a $0.7 million increase in interest income.

Reworded paragraphs (42)
Previous wording
On December 23, 2024, the Company and Capital Latinoamericano, S.A. de C.V. (“CapLat”) entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) pursuant to which Odyssey and CapLat formed a joint venture to develop a strategic fertilizer production project in Mexico (the “JV Project”) building on the work completed by the Company to validate a high-quality subsea phosphate resource within Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone (“EEZ”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company and CapLat will work together to develop the JV Project and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals from Mexican governmental authorities, subsidiaries of each party will invest as equal partners, subject to adjustment based on final contributions, in a newly formed joint venture entity that will own and continue to develop and operate the JV Project. The JV Agreement also provides that the Company and CapLat have exclusive rights to develop the JV Project, and that CapLat has the exclusive right to develop with the Company any projects in the EEZ owned or developed by the Company during the next five years.
Current wording
On December 23, 2024, the Company, certain of its affiliates and CapLat entered into the JV Agreement, pursuant to which Odyssey and CapLat agreed to work together to develop a strategic fertilizer production project in Mexico (the “Phosagmex Project”) building on the work completed by the Company to validate and quantify a high-quality subsea phosphate resource within Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone (the “Mexican EEZ”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company and CapLat agreed to work together to develop the Phosagmex Project and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals from Mexican governmental authorities, to invest through subsidiaries of each party as equal partners, subject to adjustment based on final contributions in a newly formed joint venture entity that will own and continue to develop and operate the Phosagmex Project. CapLat is key as a local partner in Mexico to develop the project due to its local knowledge of the Mexican business and political environment and its expertise in the food and agricultural industries. Odyssey is a key partner that has expertise critical to the phosphate and fertilizer production project with respect to exploration and dredging operations in the Mexican EEZ to extract phosphate ore needed for fertilizer production from the seafloor within the area located in the Gulf of Ulloa of the Baja California Sur Peninsula in the Mexican EEZ, as well as processing phosphate ore into commercially viable products serving the fertilizer industry in Mexican and global markets.
Previous wording
The “Exploraciones Oceánicas” Phosphate Project is a rich deposit of phosphate sands located 70-90 meters deep within Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone (“EEZ”). This deposit contains a large amount of high-grade phosphate ore that can be extracted on a financially attractive basis (essentially a standard dredging operation). The product will be attractive to Mexican and other world producers of fertilizers and can provide important benefits to Mexico’s agricultural development.

In February 2022, the Cook Islands Seabed Minerals Authority (“SBMA”) awarded CIC a five-year exploration license beginning June 2022.

In December 2024, we amended the March 2023 Notes (as defined below) and the December 2023 Notes (as defined below) to, among other items, extend the maturity date of our obligations, and add a conversion feature, thereby deferring a material cash need. In addition, on December 23, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 7,377,912 shares of Common Stock to certain accredited investors at a purchase price of $0.55 per share.

The proceeds of that sale of Common Stock, together with other anticipated cash inflows, is expected to provide sufficient operating funds into the second quarter of 2025. The SPA further provides the investors with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an additional 7,220,141 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.10 per share at a subsequent closing to be held on April 30, 2025, or such later date as may be agreed by the Company and the purchasers who purchased at least a majority of the initial shares under the SPA, provided that the subsequent closing date shall not be later than July 31, 2025.

That subsequent sale of Common Stock, if exercised by the investors under the SPA, is expected to provide sufficient operating funds through at least the fourth quarter of 2025.
