NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

CIC Limited

The Company has provided services to and owns approximately 14.2% of the equity interests in CIC Limited (“CIC”), a deep-sea mineral exploration company. The Company’s lead director, Mark B. Justh, made an investment into CIC’s parent company and indirectly owns approximately 9.9% of CIC. We believe Mr. Justh’s indirect ownership in CIC does not impair his independence under applicable rules, and Odyssey’s board of directors has formed a special committee of disinterested directors to address any matters relating to CIC.

The Company provided services to CIC in accordance with the terms of a Services Agreement pursuant to which Odyssey provided certain back-office services to CIC in exchange for a recurring monthly fee, as well as other deep-sea mineral-related services on a cost-plus profit basis and was compensated for these services with a combination of cash and equity in CIC. The Services Agreement expired by its terms on August 1, 2025, and the Company expects to be compensated in cash for any future services provided to CIC, unless the parties agree to an alternative form of consideration for payment in a new services agreement.

There were no services invoiced to CIC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company invoiced CIC for services a total of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, which is recorded in Marine services in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company was paid in equity for its services. In addition, the Company had the option to accept equity for payment of cash expenditures due from CIC in lieu of cash. The Company did not opt to accept equity from CIC in lieu of cash for its cash expenditures.

On March 20, 2026, the Company and CIC entered into a redemption agreement, pursuant to which CIC redeemed 450,000 Class B of CIC shares held by the Company at a redemption price of $1.00 pursuant to the parties’ deposit agreement, and reduced to zero the $0.5 million earnest money deposit advanced by CIC and held by the Company. As a result of this redemption, the Company’s interest in CIC was reduced to 14.2%.

Ocean Minerals, LLC

The Company provides services to Ocean Minerals, LLC (“OML”), a deep-sea mineral exploration company in which it holds approximately 5.3% of the equity interests (see Note 5 – Investment In Unconsolidated Entities). The Company provides these services to OML on a cost-plus profit basis, and the Company will be compensated for these services with equity in OML.

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company invoiced OML for services a total of $59,333 and $22,500, respectively, and $81,833 and $45,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are recorded in Marine services in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
