Joint Venture | NOTE 7 – JOINT VENTURE Joint Venture Agreement with Capital Latinoamericano, S.A. de C.V. Background and Entity Formation On December 23, 2024, the Company, certain of its affiliates and CapLat entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) pursuant to which Odyssey and CapLat agreed to work together to develop a strategic fertilizer production project in Mexico (the “Phosagmex Project”) building on the work completed by the Company to validate a high-quality subsea phosphate resource within Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone (the “Mexican EEZ”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company and CapLat agreed to work together to develop the Project and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals from Mexican governmental authorities, to invest through subsidiaries of each party as equal partners, subject to adjustment based on final contributions, in a newly formed joint venture entity that will own and continue to develop and operate the Phosagmex Project. CapLat is a key local partner in Mexico to develop the project due to its local knowledge of the Mexican business and political environment and its expertise in the food and agricultural industries. Odyssey has expertise critical to the fertilizer production project with respect to dredging in the Mexican EEZ to extract phosphate ore needed for fertilizer production from the seafloor within the area located in the Gulf of Ulloa of the Baja California Sur Peninsula in the federal waters of Mexico. On June 4, 2025, CapLat and ORM formed Phosagmex as the joint venture entity in accordance with the terms of the JV Agreement, with CapLat and ORM each holding 50.0% of the equity interests in Phosagmex, and entered into a shareholders’ agreement with terms as set forth in the JV Agreement. In connection with the formation of Phosagmex, the Company, CapLat, Oceanica, ORM and ExO entered into an amendment to the JV Agreement on June 5, 2025, pursuant to which, among other things, ORM joined as a party to the JV Agreement and the parties agreed to make their respective initial capital contributions to Phosagmex on or prior to September 5, 2025. As the initial contributions were not due and had not been completed before June 30, 2025 in accordance with the JV Agreement, the JV’s operations have not begun, and there are no assets, liabilities, nor other income or expense activities, condensed financial information of the JV has not been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. On June 6, 2025, in accordance with the JV Agreement, Oceanica caused ExO to enter into an agreement to assign its legal rights to specified mining concessions held by ExO to Phosagmex subject to the condition that the concessions are reinstated. Oceanica holds 99.998% of the equity interests in ExO. Each of Odyssey, ORM, Oceanica and ExO owns or holds assets and rights relating to the JV. The parties with direct economic interests in the JV are CapLat and ORM, each of which holds a 50% ownership interest in the JV. CapLat’s Contribution CapLat’s contributions to the JV will include its participation in the project and cash in the amount of $0.2 million for the payment of transaction-related taxes. In addition to its contributions to Phosagmex, CapLat has an ongoing obligation under the JV Agreement to lead all discussions with governmental authorities in connection with obtaining the necessary permits and approvals required for the Phosagmex Project. Odyssey’s Contribution Odyssey’s contributions to the JV will include the legal rights to the ExO mining concessions and cash in the amount of $0.2 million for the payment of transaction-related taxes. ExO’s transfer of the legal rights to the concessions will include data, information and documents relating to the concessions. In addition to its contributions to Phosagmex, Odyssey has an ongoing obligation under the JV Agreement to provide technical, environmental and operational expertise, data, information, intellectual property, and personnel necessary for the efficient planning and execution of the Phosagmex Project. Accounting Treatment The Company analyzed the investment in Phosagmex under the relevant accounting literature and concluded Phosagmex is an operating joint venture under ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures and that each of CapLat and ORM has a variable interest in the joint venture. The Company then analyzed whether Phosagmex qualifies as a VIE under ASC 810, Consolidation and determined that (a) the Company does have sufficient equity at risk; (b) the Company and CapLat, as a group, have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance; and (c) operations of the joint venture are not conducted solely on behalf of either of the parties and as such, there is no party with disproportionate voting rights. Because none of the criteria in ASC 810-10-15-14 is met, Phosagmex is not a VIE and should be evaluated under the voting interest model (“VOE”). Under the VOE model, the party with a controlling financial interest consolidates the company. Each of CapLat and the Company (through ORM) holds 50% of the outstanding ownership interests of the joint venture, and there are no minority or majority interest holders. Joint control exists because (1) no party currently holds more than 50% of the outstanding ownership interests of Phosagmex and (2) no single party controls the joint venture, as each of the parties has substantive participation rights. As such, Odyssey will not consolidate Phosagmex under the VOE model; however, as Odyssey does have significant influence over Phosagmex, the Company will apply the equity method of accounting. Further, because the joint venture is akin to a corporation, none of the scope exceptions outlined in ASC 323-10-15-5 applies. The Company concluded that Odyssey will account for its investment in the JV on a go-forward basis by adjusting its investment for its share of the Phosagmex’s financial activity, basis differences, eliminating intra-entity profits or losses until realized through transactions with third parties, and evaluating for impairment.
