Current report

After the concessions have been reinstated and the assignment to Phosagmex is effective, Phosagmex will submit an application for an environmental permit to move forward with the Phosagmex project. Although the permit application will be based on the underlying exploration work and environmental research by ExO described below, the application will include certain significant changes to reflect the Phosagmex Project plan.

Current report

On November 6, 2025, we submitted an Unsolicited Request for Lease Sale of Marine Mineral Exploration and Development Rights to BOEM. Odyssey’s request is among the first under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) of 1953 in U.S. jurisdiction under BOEM’s oversight.

Current report

The proposed lease area, located within the U.S. OCS off the Mid-Atlantic coast, is highly prospective for heavy mineral sands rich in titanium, zirconium, rare earth elements, and phosphate. Together, these materials are critical to U.S. national defense, domestic manufacturing, and food security, underpinning U.S. manufacturing and agriculture—from aerospace alloys and smartphones to medical devices and fertilizers. Additionally, offshore sand and gravel resources from the recovery process can support coastal resiliency efforts.

Current report

If BOEM grants the requested lease sale at the conclusion of its process and Odyssey obtains the development rights, Odyssey’s project will commence with the collection of comprehensive environmental and geological data to inform responsible resource assessment and project design. If the project advances to recovery, operations will utilize shallow-water dredging, a well-established and extensively studied method already used regularly worldwide for navigation and coastal resilience, implemented in ways that mitigate potential impacts. Odyssey carefully selected the proposed lease area to avoid sensitive habitats, marine protected areas, and active maritime zones, as well as to respect conservation areas.

Current report

If Odyssey obtains the requested lease, its capability to advance a project will be enhanced by an October 2025 collaboration agreement with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (NASDAQ: GLDD), the nation’s largest dredging contractor and a trusted federal partner for coastal restoration and resilience projects.

Current report

During the third quarter of 2025, holders of the March 2023 AR Notes converted an aggregate of $11.3 million of indebtedness under the March 2023 AR Notes into 9,900,464 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Current report

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and $30,802 and $32,750, respectively, of interest from the fee amortization which has been recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Current report

During the third quarter of 2025, holders of the December 2023 AR Notes converted an aggregate of $4.2 million of indebtedness under the December 2023 Notes into 3,617,194 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Current report

As discussed in Note 7 – Joint Venture, the Company contributed concession rights to Phosagmex, subject to reinstatement of the concessions. As these rights have not been reinstated, the carrying value in the Company’s financial statements is zero; however, the Company estimated the fair value of the concession rights to be $1.9 million as of August 29, 2025, the contribution date. The fair value was determined under the Guideline Public Company method. Significant inputs include the estimated discount due to uncertainty of reinstatement (85%-95%), estimated capital expenditures necessary to commence mining operations ($91.2 million), discount rate (12.5%), estimated market multiple (0.65 x), and debt to true interest cost ratio (35%).

Previous report

No chemicals would be used in the dredging process or released into the sea.

Previous report

A dredging process that exceeds international best practices to deliver dredging returns to the seabed, limiting plume or impact to the water column and marine ecosystem (including primary production).

Previous report

The seabed would be restored after dredging in such a way as to promote rapid regeneration of seabed organisms in dredged areas.

Previous report

Ecotoxicology tests demonstrated that the dredging and return of sediment to the seabed would not have toxic effects on organisms.

Previous report

Sound propagation studies concluded that noise levels generated during dredging would be similar to whale-watching vessels, merchant ships and fisherman’s ships that already regularly transit this area, proving the system is not a threat to marine mammals.

Previous report

Dredging limited to less than one square kilometer each year, which means the project would operate in only a tiny proportion of the concession area each year.

Previous report

Proven turtle protection measures were incorporated, even though the deposit and the dredging activity are much deeper and colder than where turtles feed and live, making material harm to the species highly remote.

Previous report

There will be no material impact on local fisheries as fishermen have historically avoided the water column directly above the deposit due to the naturally low occurrence of fish there.

Previous report

The project would not be visible from the shoreline and would not impact tourism or coastal activities.

Previous report

Precautionary mitigation measures were incorporated into the development plan in line with best-practice global operational standards.

Previous report

The technology proposed to recover the phosphate sands has been safely used in Mexican waters for over 20 years on more than 200 projects.

Previous report

In October 2024, the Company discovered that the Mexican mining authority unlawfully cancelled ExO’s mining concessions in June and August 2024. ExO is challenging the cancellation; the transfer of the legal rights to the mining concessions is subject to reinstatement of the concessions by the Mexican mining authority. The legal proceedings for reinstatement remain pending as of the date of this report.

Previous 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.

The product will be attractive to Mexican and other world producers of fertilizers because it can provide important benefits to Mexico’s and the rest of North America’s agricultural development. The deposit lies within exclusive mining concessions described in more detail below.

Previous wording

Pursuant to the JV Agreement, on June 4, 2025, the parties formed Phosagmex as a joint venture entity. On June 6, 2025, in accordance with the JV Agreement, the Company’s subsidiary, Exploraciones Oceánicas S. de R.L. de CV (“ExO”) entered into an agreement to transfer its legal rights to mining concessions that include the phosphate ore for the Phosagmex Project to Phosagmex subject to reinstatement of the concessions.

In 2012, ExO was granted the first of three 50-year mining licenses by Mexico (extendable for another 50 years) for the deposit that lies 25-40 km offshore in Baja California Sur. In October 2024, the Company discovered that the Mexican mining authority unlawfully cancelled ExO’s mining concessions in June and August 2024. ExO challenged the cancellation in November 2024. In September and October 2025, the Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (“TFJA”) issued orders annulling the 2024 cancellations of the concessions, thereby restoring the legal validity of the concessions. Certain issues relating to concession fees remain under review before a Federal Circuit Tribunal (“Tribunal”). Once the concession fee issues are resolved by the Tribunal the assignment of the concessions to Phosagmex will be effective.

Previous wording

We spent more than three years preparing an environmentally sustainable development plan with the assistance of experts in marine dredging and leading environmental scientists from around the world. Key features of the environmental plan included:

Current wording

We spent more than three years preparing an environmentally sustainable development plan with the assistance of experts in marine dredging and leading environmental scientists from around the world.

Previous wording

ExO challenged the decision in Mexican federal court and in March 2018, the Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (“TFJA”), an 11-judge panel, ruled unanimously that SEMARNAT denied the application in violation of Mexican law and ordered the agency to re-take its decision. Just prior to the change in the Mexican administration later in 2018, SEMARNAT denied the permit a second time in defiance of the court. ExO challenged the decision again before the TFJA. On October 25, 2024, the TFJA announced its ruling in favor of SEMARNAT. ExO has appealed the TFJA’s ruling, and the appeal is pending.

Current wording

In 2015, ExO applied for a permit to move forward with the project. Notwithstanding the factors stated above, in April 2016 the Mexican Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (“SEMARNAT”) unlawfully rejected the permit application. ExO challenged the decision in Mexican federal court and in March 2018, the TFJA, an 11-judge panel, ruled unanimously that SEMARNAT denied the application in violation of Mexican law and ordered the agency to re-take its decision. Just prior to the change in the Mexican administration later in 2018, SEMARNAT denied the permit a second time in defiance of the court. ExO challenged the decision again before the TFJA. On October 25, 2024, the TFJA announced its ruling in favor of SEMARNAT. ExO appealed the TFJA’s ruling. On November 5, 2025, the Tribunal denied ExO’s appeal of the TFJA’s ruling. Because ExO has transferred the concessions to Phosagmex and does not intend to pursue the project, the Tribunal’s decision does not impact our business or strategic plan to advance this project. As described above, Phosagmex will submit its own environmental permit application when the concessions are reinstated.

Previous wording

In February 2022, the Cook Islands Seabed Minerals Authority (“SBMA”) awarded CIC a five-year exploration license beginning June 2022 within the Cook Islands’ exclusive economic zone. Offshore explorations and research commenced in the third quarter of 2022 with positive results in early sampling and testing of vessels and equipment, which informed requirements for viable operational functions as the basis for a longer-term operation over the license period. The early operations also resulted in preliminary resource sampling, which will ultimately accrue to the resource evaluation and regional environmental assessment.

Previous wording

During 2023, Odyssey continued exploration in the exploration license area to continue to validate the geological prospectivity of the property. In addition to examining the regional geological and tectonic settings of the region, additional multibeam data and 127 geological samples were collected, and seven ROV dives were conducted. These activities increased Bismarck’s confidence in the presence of enriched mineral targets within the exploration license area. Likewise, two target sites were identified for future resource sampling. Future exploration will focus on continued sampling in these locations while working towards a defined resource assessment and gathering environmental baseline data to compile an environmental impact assessment.
