PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 6, 2023

 

Date, Time and Place of the Annual General Meeting

 

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of CBL International Limited (the “Company”), an exempted Cayman Islands company, in connection with the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Annual General Meeting”) to be held at Level 23-2, Menara Permata Sapura, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on November 6, 2023 at 9.30 a.m. at Malaysia time, and any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of Annual General Meeting.

 

Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum

 

Only record holders (the “Shareholders”) of the ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) as of the close of business on September 29, 2023, New York time, are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. As of September 29, 2023, 25,000,000 of our Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.0001 per share were issued and outstanding. Two or more Shareholders which represent, in aggregate, not less than 50% of the paid up voting shares of the Company present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its authorized representative shall be a quorum for all purposes.

 

Difference between Holding Shares as a “Shareholder of Record” and “Beneficial Owner” (or in “Street Name”)

 

Most Shareholders are considered “beneficial owners” of their shares, that is, they hold their shares through a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially or in “street name”.

 

Shareholder of record

 

If, on the record date, your Ordinary Shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, then you are the “shareholder of record” with respect to those Ordinary Shares. As a shareholder of record, you may vote at the Annual General Meeting or vote by proxy.

 

Beneficial Owner

 

If, on the record date, your Ordinary Shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee, then you are the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name”. The brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee holding your Ordinary Shares is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual General Meeting; provided, however, as a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account.

 

Voting

 

Each Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to the vote at the Annual General Meeting.

 

At the Annual General Meeting, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy may vote the fully paid Ordinary Shares held by such Shareholder. The chairman of the Annual General Meeting will exercise his rights under the articles of association of the Company and request that each of the resolutions proposed be voted upon through a poll. The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders will be required to pass each of the proposed resolutions submitted to a vote at the Annual General Meeting except with the proposed resolution to amend the articles of association of the Company (the “Articles of Association”) which requires the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast of such Shareholders.

 

Voting by Shareholders

 

Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names may vote by attending the Annual General Meeting in person or by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed form of proxy by email at investors@banle-intl.com or by post in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or return it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. The form of proxy must arrive no later than the time for holding the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

 

When proxies are properly completed, dated, signed and returned by Shareholders, the Ordinary Shares they represent, unless the proxies are revoked, will be voted at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder. If no specific instructions are given by such Shareholders, the proxy holder will have discretion to vote on each proposal and as to other matters that may properly come before the Annual General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

 

Beneficial owners can only vote through their brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee, or in person at the Annual General Meeting if they have been appointed proxy by their brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee. Beneficial owners should follow the voting instruction to be provided by their brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee for directing the relevant brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other nominee to vote the shares in the beneficial owners’ account.

 

Please refer to this proxy statement for information related to the proposed resolutions.

 

Revocability of Proxies

 

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or, if you hold Ordinary Shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person. A written notice of revocation must be delivered to the attention of CBL International Limited.

Article 10.1

 

By inserting the words “(where applicable) and/or in such form” after the word “place” so that the revised Article 10.1 will read as follows:

 

“10.1 The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Designated Stock Exchange Rules) be obligated to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting, which, if held, shall be convened at such time and place (where applicable) and/or in such form as may be determined by the Board, in accordance with these Articles.”

 

Article 10.2

 

By inserting the following sentences at the end of the existing provision:

 

“Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles, any general meeting or any class meeting may be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communication facilities as to permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence at such meeting.
