(“Trident Aliska Digital Tech”),\nthe Company’s 50/50 joint venture with Aliska Business Advisory and Research\nLimited (“Aliska”).\n\nThe deployment follows Trident’s recently announced strategic transformation\ninto a diversified digital infrastructure holding company focused on\nsovereign-scale technology ecosystems spanning government technology, digital\nidentity, AI, cybersecurity, fintech infrastructure, and transaction-driven\ndigital services across emerging markets.\n\nThe June 5, 2026 launch marks the transition from platform integration and\noperational readiness into active commercial deployment, positioning TDTH at\nthe center of one of West Africa’s most significant ongoing\ndigital-government modernization initiatives.\n\nThe platform is designed to provide Ghana’s Micro, Small, and Medium\nEnterprises (“MSMEs”) with an integrated digital environment enabling\nbusiness registration, accounting, bookkeeping, VAT payment, tax filing, and\ncompliance management through a unified infrastructure platform developed in\ncoordination with the Ghana Revenue Authority.\n\nBy consolidating multiple administrative and financial workflows into a single\naccessible digital ecosystem, the platform is intended to support broader\ntax-base expansion, improve operational efficiency for MSMEs, strengthen\nvoluntary tax compliance, and accelerate digital adoption across Ghana’s\nrapidly growing small-business economy.\n\nGhana is home to an estimated 2 million MSMEs, which collectively represent a\nsubstantial portion of the country’s private-sector employment and economic\nactivity.\n\nUnder the initial deployment roadmap, Trident Aliska Digital Tech is targeting\nthe onboarding of approximately 530,000 MSMEs during the first 12 months of\noperations, with onboarding capacity expected to scale progressively as the\njoint venture expands its nationwide field-agent network, regional rollout\ninfrastructure, integrated training programs, and technical-support ecosystem.\n\nThe deployment strategy supports the joint venture’s previously disclosed\nprojected platform economics of approximately USD $800 million over an initial\nfive-year operating horizon and establishes a scalable framework for potential\nexpansion into additional African markets over time.\n\nThe platform’s commercial structure includes recurring per-business\nsubscription economics embedded within the operational model, creating the\npotential for long-term transaction-driven and service-based revenue\ngeneration as adoption scales.\n\nThe nationwide deployment follows the successful completion of platform\nintegration, operational-readiness testing, user onboarding preparation, and\nimplementation milestones coordinated with the Ghana Revenue Authority. The\nlaunch will be supported by dedicated implementation teams, regional\ndeployment hubs, onboarding personnel, and ongoing technical-support\ninfrastructure designed to enable scalable nationwide service delivery.\n\nTrident believes the large-scale digitization of MSMEs represents one of the\nmost significant long-term infrastructure opportunities across emerging\neconomies, particularly in regions where governments are accelerating national\nmodernization initiatives tied to tax formalization, digital payments,\nidentity infrastructure, financial inclusion, and AI-enabled public-service\ndelivery.\n\nThe Company believes platforms capable of integrating compliance, commerce,\nidentity, transaction processing, and operational workflows into unified\ndigital ecosystems may become foundational components of next-generation\nsovereign digital infrastructure strategies across multiple high-growth\nregions.\n\nThe Ghana deployment also represents an early validation milestone for\nTrident’s recently expanded holding-company strategy, which is designed to\nintegrate scalable digital infrastructure, government technology, AI-enabled\nservices, cybersecurity, fintech ecosystems, and transaction-driven platform\neconomics under a unified operating framework focused on high-growth emerging\nmarkets.\n\nThe Company believes this evolving structure enhances its ability to pursue\nlarger strategic partnerships, sovereign technology deployments, acquisitions,\nand long-term recurring revenue opportunities across multiple high-growth\ndigital infrastructure verticals.\n\nTrident believes the Ghana deployment represents one of the first large-scale\nexecution milestones under the Company’s expanded digital infrastructure\nstrategy and serves as a foundational reference implementation for future\nsovereign technology deployments across government services, fintech\ninfrastructure, AI-enabled public-service ecosystems, cybersecurity, and\ndigital commerce initiatives.\n\n“The nationwide deployment of the Ghana Revenue Authority platform\nrepresents a transformational milestone for TDTH as we execute our strategy of\nbuilding sovereign-scale digital infrastructure ecosystems across high-growth\nemerging markets,” said Soon Huat Lim, Founder, Chairman, and Chief\nExecutive Officer of Trident.\n\n“This is no longer a proof of concept or pilot initiative — this is a live\nnational deployment supporting the digital formalization of hundreds of\nthousands of businesses. We believe the Ghana platform establishes a powerful\nreference framework for future government technology, digital identity,\nfintech infrastructure, and AI-enabled public-service opportunities throughout\nAfrica and other rapidly digitizing regions.”\n\nTrident further believes the deployment strengthens the Company’s\npositioning as a long-term technology partner for governments, institutions,\nand enterprise ecosystems seeking scalable digital transformation\ninfrastructure capable of supporting national modernization objectives and\nbroader economic digitization initiatives.\n\nAbout Trident Aliska Digital Tech\n\nTrident Aliska Digital Tech is a 50/50 joint venture between Trident and\nAliska, formed to jointly develop and commercialize proprietary digital\ntechnology solutions for public- and private-sector clients across Ghana.\nTrident leads technology development, platform engineering, and technical\nsystem management, while Aliska focuses on project research, design, securing\ngovernment approvals and permits, and project funding.
