Consolidated Water Co Ltd

1. 1

   Election of nine directors to the Board of Directors

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Election of nine director nominees to the company’s board; each nominee elected if votes FOR exceed WITHHELD; Board recommends FOR.

2. 2

   Approval of the Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. 2027 Employee Stock Incentive Plan

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve new 2027 equity compensation plan reserving 500,000 shares for employees (excluding directors and executives), authorizing stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance awards; includes governance safeguards (no repricing without shareholder approval, prohibition on cash buy-outs of underwater options).

   More detail

   The 2027 Plan requests shareholder approval to reserve 500,000 Ordinary Shares (about 3.1% of outstanding shares) for employee equity awards excluding directors and executives. Management seeks this authority to maintain competitive recruiting and retention practices and to provide performance-aligned compensation via stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and performance awards. The plan sets standard guardrails: exercise prices at or above fair market value, 10-year option term (5 years for >10% holders for ISOs), prohibition on repricing without shareholder approval, and prohibition on cash buy-outs of underwater options without approval. The Board and Compensation Committee justify the share count by referencing historical burn rates, peer practice, expected employee headcount (~265 eligible), and the need to incentivize long-term performance while conserving cash. Administration by the Compensation Committee permits flexible award types and vesting schedules; certain awards can be performance-based to align with long-term corporate goals. Shareholder approval is required under Nasdaq rules; if not approved, the plan will not become effective and management will not be able to grant awards under it. The Board unanimously recommends a FOR vote, arguing the plan balances competitive market practice with shareholder protections against inappropriate dilution or repricing.

3. 3

   Approval of an increase in the authorized share capital of the Company

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve Ordinary Resolution to increase authorized share capital from CI$12.5 million (24,800,000 Ordinary Shares and 200,000 Preference Shares) to CI$25 million (49,800,000 Ordinary Shares and 200,000 Preference Shares), enabling issuance of additional Ordinary Shares for corporate purposes.

   More detail

   The proposal seeks an Ordinary Resolution to increase the authorized share capital by 25,000,000 Ordinary Shares (from CI$12.5 million to CI$25 million). Management frames the increase as a defensive and practical measure to ensure capacity for future corporate actions — equity financing, acquisitions, strategic investments, employee equity programs — without delay from seeking shareholder approval each time. The Board notes potential dilution risks and loss of preemptive rights; it states there is no current plan to issue the additional shares. The increase also enables alignment of charter language through a parallel amendment to the Memorandum (Proposal 4) and, indirectly, the Articles. Approval requires a majority vote and the Board unanimously recommends FOR. Analysts should view this as a governance and capital management tool: while it increases managerial flexibility and could be used opportunistically, the Company’s stated governance steps (no immediate issuance, Board duties) and lack of preemptive rights mean shareholders should monitor future issuances and terms to assess dilution and alignment with shareholder value.

4. 4

   Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum of Association to implement the increase in authorized share capital

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve Special Resolution to amend Memorandum to reflect the increased authorized share capital approved in Proposal 3; requires 75% approval.

   More detail

   Proposal 4 seeks a Special Resolution to amend the Company’s Memorandum of Association to update the authorized share capital to CI$25.0 million (49,800,000 Ordinary Shares and 200,000 Redeemable Preference Shares). Management presents this as a technical and necessary companion to Proposal 3 under Cayman Islands law; the amendments cannot be implemented without this Memorandum change. The Board frames it as administrative and aligned with corporate flexibility objectives. The proposal requires 75% approval under the Articles. There is no independent shareholder proponent and the Board recommends FOR. For sophisticated analysts: while routine in form, this vote effectively enables issuance authority given in Proposal 3 and should be evaluated together with Proposal 3 and subsequent proposals affecting capital structure and shareholder rights.

5. 5

   Approval of amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association relating to share repurchases and treasury shares

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve Special Resolution to amend Article 11 to permit open-market repurchases consistent with Rule 10b-18, allow holding repurchased shares as treasury shares and later cancelling or transferring them, add definitions for Fair Market Value, Principal Trading Market, Trading Market and Treasury Share; requires 75% approval.

   More detail

   Management proposes material amendments to the Articles—specifically Article 11—to modernize the Company’s share repurchase regime. The key changes: authorize repurchases by agreement, pursuant to terms of issue, or in the open market via the Company’s Principal Trading Market; allow repurchased shares to be held as treasury shares and subsequently cancelled, reissued, or sold; set a cap such that except as otherwise authorized by an ordinary resolution, repurchases are limited to purchases at no more than Fair Market Value and ensure no more than 20% of issued shares are at any time authorized for repurchase but not yet repurchased; require compliance with Rule 10b-18 and relevant exchange rules while shares are listed; add definitions to tie Fair Market Value and trading venues to U.S. standards. This provides the Board with tactical tools for capital allocation and stock-based compensation management. The amendments require a 75% vote and the Board recommends FOR. Analysts should weigh the enhanced flexibility for share repurchases (which can support EPS and signal undervaluation) against potential anti-takeover concerns (management could issue shares or repurchase defensively) and monitor any future repurchase programs for transparency and adherence to stated limits.

6. 6

   Approval of the adoption of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Amended and Restated Articles of Association

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Approve Special Resolution to adopt consolidated Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles incorporating the amendments approved in Proposals 4 and 5; requires 75% approval.

   More detail

   This proposal asks shareholders to adopt fully restated constitutional documents (Memorandum and Articles) incorporating the amendments approved under Proposals 4 and 5 and any necessary ministerial/conforming changes. Management argues this is an administrative efficiency measure that reduces the need for piecemeal filings and enhances clarity for stakeholders. The Restated documents will only incorporate amendments that are approved by shareholders; if either related special resolution fails, the restatement will exclude the disapproved change. The proposal requires a 75% vote and the Board recommends FOR. From a governance perspective, restatements are routine but consequential because they consolidate authority and clarify corporate powers—analysts should confirm the final text post-approval to ensure it reflects expectations.

7. 7

   Advisory vote on executive compensation (Say-on-Pay

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the proxy statement (including CD&A and compensation tables).

   More detail

   This non-binding advisory ‘say-on-pay’ proposal asks shareholders to approve the Named Executive Officers’ compensation as disclosed in the proxy. Management frames the compensation program as aligned with shareholder interests through performance-based short-term and long-term incentives, a clawback policy, and significant pay tied to company performance. The Compensation Committee cites the 95% prior-year support as validation of existing practice and recommends continuing the same approach. Because the vote is advisory, failure would not directly alter pay but would require the Committee to engage with shareholders and consider changes. Analysts should evaluate the underlying disclosures—target pay mix, performance metrics (net income, revenue, gross profit margin, multi-year equity metrics) and prior-year pay-for-performance outcomes—to assess alignment and the likelihood of shareholder pushback, but current high prior support suggests low controversy.

8. 8

   Ratification of selection of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending December 31, 2026

   ManagementBoard: FOR

   Ratify Audit Committee’s appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2026 and determine remuneration; majority vote required.
