Vantage Corp (NYSE:VNTG) ("Vantage" or the "Company"), a shipbroking company providing comprehensive services including brokerage, consultancy, and operational support in the tanker market, today issued the following statement in response to recent unusual trading activity and market speculations regarding the Company's stock.

Vantage Corp continues to operate normally across all offices and remains a leading force in the tanker shipbroking market within Asia. The Company affirms that there have been no material changes to its business fundamentals, strategic direction, or future outlook. Core operations remain robust and uninterrupted, with no significant impact or changes to financial performance, business structure, or market position.

Vantage Corp CEO Andre D'Rozario commented: "We want to address the heighted volatility in our share price over the past two days directly and unequivocally. I would like to personally affirm that there have been no material and fundamental changes to our core business, financial health, strategic priorities, or future outlook. Our strength lies in our people and the reputation we have built over time. We remain focused on executing our strategy, delivering value to our shareholders, and positioning Vantage for sustainable growth. We are in it for the long haul."

Vantage Corp affirms its commitment to regional expansion initiatives, including the previously announced Letter of Intent (LOI) entered into by its wholly owned holding subsidiary, Vantage (BVI) Corporation, to acquire shipbroking firms based in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. These strategic acquisitions will enable Vantage to establish key operational hubs in major maritime markets across Asia, strengthening its ability to serve its global client base across key trade routes and enhancing its operational capabilities across multiple segments in the tanker market.

The Company encourages shareholders to review its most recent 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2025, for a comprehensive view of its financial and operational health.
