Description of activities

Wright Investors’ Service Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has nominal operations and nominal assets aside from its cash and cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and mutual funds, and is therefore considered a shell company, as defined in U.S. securities laws and regulations. The Company is not engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, and it does not hold itself out as being engaged in those activities.

The Company intends to evaluate and explore all available strategic options. The Company will continue to work to maximize stockholder value. Such strategic options may include acquisition of an investment advisory business, acquisition of a financial services business, creating partnerships or joint ventures for those or other businesses and investing in other businesses that provide attractive opportunities for growth. The directors will also consider alternatives for distributing some or all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury Bills and mutual funds. Until such time as a decision is made as to how the liquid assets of the Company are so deployed, the Company intends to invest its liquid assets in high-grade, short- term investments (such as cash and cash equivalents and Investment in U.S. Treasury Bills and mutual funds) consistent with the preservation of principal, maintenance of liquidity and avoidance of speculation.

The Company may be classified as an inadvertent investment company if the Company acquires investment securities in excess of 40% of the Company’s total assets (exclusive of government securities). As of June 30, 2025, the Company is not considered an inadvertent investment company.
