On 4 November 2025, we welcomed our LPs and marketplace partners to our 2025 Annual General Meeting to reflect on another year of progress and transformation across the PrimeMovers Equity platform. Co-Founder and CEO Soo Jin Goh kicked off the session with an update on PME Fund I, which has successfully completed the fundraising with Fund I expected to be largely deployed by 1Q 2026. PME will be back in the market to raise Fund II by mid-2026. Soo Jin also provided an update on PME’s deal progress – including the completed acquisition of Techcom and Excel Marco in 2025, and the announced take-private of SPINDEX Industries Limited . Our portfolio company Engtek Group continues to deliver strong top line momentum, while GTO initiatives at Excel Marco are underway as we actively pursue add-on acquisition opportunities to further transform the Company. As our portfolio continues to grow, we are also building out our operational bench strength with talents tailored to our GTO framework to drive hands-on value creation across our companies. In 2025, we are pleased to welcome Kevin Fernando as Managing Director and Howard Abe as Operating Partner. The AGM then featured Eric Tan, who presented an overview of Excel Marco, followed by Howard Abe, who shared a thematic piece on creating operational value in an increasingly volatile world. The meeting concluded with a “GTO at Work” panel moderated by Jovi Zalamea , featuring Kevin Fernando, Randy Teo and Donald Chan, offering first-hand perspectives on how PME’s GTO framework continues to drive results across our portfolio. We sincerely thank our LPs and marketplace partners for your continued trust and support. As we look ahead to the next chapter, we remain committed to earning that trust – through disciplined execution, operational excellence, and shared success.
