We navigated a period marked by the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry, trade-related headwinds, and unfavorable foreign exchange movements. Despite these pressures, we achieved year-over-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter and delivered profitability, driven by strong momentum in our Industrial Electronics (IE) segment. IE revenue grew 70% compared to the prior year, fueled by demand and diversification into both existing and new end markets. This performance highlights the opportunity for IE to play an increasingly significant role as a growth engine for the Company.

 

Although our Semiconductor Back-End Solutions (SBS) revenues faced challenges due to industry cyclicality and trade-related issues, we encouragingly saw resilience from our operations in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, as customers began shifting toward alternative geographies for testing solutions.

 

Financial and Operating Review

 

Gross margins remained steady at 25%, reflecting both improvements in product mix and careful financial management. Excluding the negative impact from foreign exchange movements of $671,000, Trio-Tech would have achieved full-year profitability of $630,000, highlighting the strength of our operations, disciplined cost management, and improved product mix. Importantly, we also significantly reduced liabilities during the year and increased our working capital by 11%, further strengthening our ability to support growth and navigate ongoing volatility. These results highlight the flexibility of our business model and the loyalty of our customers.

 

Our balance sheet remains strong, with $19.5 million in cash and deposits. This financial flexibility allows us to invest selectively in growth opportunities and withstand short-term industry challenges.

 

Strategic Priorities

 

Looking ahead, we are focusing on three priorities:

 

Stabilizing and Growing SBS – While demand in China remains unpredictable, we see opportunities to expand market share throughout Southeast Asia, where we have a strong presence and trusted customer relationships.

 

Expanding Industrial Electronics – With IE momentum building, including growth in the touchscreen market and diversification into the aerospace sales channel, the segment is demonstrating its ability to serve as a growth engine for the Company. These efforts are broadening our customer base and strengthening the Company’s position in new and resilient end markets.

 

Disciplined Capital Allocation – Supported by a strong balance sheet and reduced liabilities, we remain committed to pursuing selective growth opportunities while maintaining our conservative financial management.

 

Our Outlook

 

The global semiconductor industry is undergoing a strategic transformation, as supply chains shift from cost optimization toward resilience amid tariffs and escalating geopolitical tensions. With Malaysia and Thailand emerging as critical hubs for backend testing and packaging, Trio-Tech is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this transition. Our longstanding relationships with leading semiconductor players—built on trust, reliability, and shared value—provide us with deep insight into their evolving needs, while our regional expertise and proven capabilities ensure we can deliver high-impact services.

 

 

 

While semiconductor demand is expected to remain volatile, particularly in China, we are confident that our customer engagement, strategic partnerships, and expanding IE business position Trio-Tech for sustainable, long-term growth. Our focus on resilience, adaptability, and targeted demand opportunities strengthens our confidence in the Company’s future prospects.

 

Appreciation

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our leadership team, I want to thank our employees for their dedication, our customers for their trust, and you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support. We remain committed to creating long-term value and look forward to updating you on our progress in fiscal year 2026.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

/s/ Yong Siew Wai

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF
TRIO-TECH INTERNATIONAL

 

To Be Held on December 10, 2025

 

This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of the enclosed proxy (the “Proxy”) on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Trio‑Tech International, a California corporation (“TrioTech”, or, the “Company”), for use at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”, or, the “Meeting”) to be held in person at our U.S. Corporate office, located at 16139 Wyandotte Street, Van Nuys, California 91406, on December 10, 2025 at 10.00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time.

 

For directions to our U.S. Corporate office, please email us at CRT.Reports@triotech.com.sg. The Notice, this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card (the “Proxy Card”) are intended to be electronically available to shareholders on or about October 22, 2025.

 

Voting

 

The Board fixed the close of business on October 21, 2025 as the record date (“Record Date”) for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 4,327,555 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), outstanding and entitled to vote, the holders of which are entitled to one vote per share.

 

The presence in person or by proxy of holders of one-third (1/3) of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes occur when a shareholder who beneficially owns shares that are held in street name, that is through a broker, does not provide the broker with instructions on how to vote those shares on matters that are considered non-routine. Brokers can vote without instruction from the beneficial owners only on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors. The election of directors is a non-routine matter and brokers are not authorized to vote on this matter without instruction.

 

Because a shareholder’s broker may not vote on behalf of the shareholder on the election of directors unless the shareholder provides specific instructions by completing and returning the voting instruction form, for a shareholder’s vote to be counted, we ask that our shareholders communicate their voting decisions to the broker or other nominee before the date of the Annual Meeting or give a proxy to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting.

Required Vote for Approval

 

The vote required for each proposal and the treatment and effect of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each proposal is as follows:

 

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors.

 

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. This means that the four persons receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the shares present, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote will be elected to serve on our Board of Directors until our 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until her or his successor is duly elected and qualified. Withholding authority to vote your shares with respect to one or more director nominees will have no effect on the election of those nominees. Broker non-votes are not considered votes cast and will also have no effect on the election of the nominees.  Pursuant to California law, cumulative voting is available for the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, you would have four votes for each share of Common Stock you own. You may cast all of your votes for one candidate, or you may distribute your votes among different candidates as you choose. However, you may cumulate votes (cast more than one vote per share) for a candidate only if the candidate is nominated before the voting and at least one shareholder gives notice at the Annual Meeting, before the voting, that he or she intends to cumulate votes. If you do not specify how to distribute your votes, by giving your Proxy you are authorizing the proxyholders (the individuals named on your Proxy Card) to cumulate votes in their discretion. The four persons properly placed in nomination at the Annual Meeting and receiving the most affirmative votes will be elected as directors.

     

Proposal No. 2: Approval of the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

 

The approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (as defined under the heading “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION” below) (“Say on Pay”) as described under Proposal No. 2 of this Proxy Statement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, either in attendance or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. A properly executed Proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Say on Pay proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposal No. 2. Broker non-votes are not considered present and entitled to vote on the Say on Pay proposal and thus will have the effect of reducing the number of affirmative votes required to achieve a majority for such matter by reducing the total number of shares from which the majority is calculated.

     

Proposal No. 3: Advisory Vote to Approve the Frequency of Non-Binding Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation.

 

This proposal provides a choice among three frequency periods (every one, two or three years) for future advisory Say-on-Pay proposals (“Say-on-Frequency”). The frequency period that receives the most votes will be deemed to be the recommendation of our shareholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on our Board of Directors or management, we may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to hold a Say-on-Pay proposals more or less frequently than the frequency period selected by our shareholders. Unless otherwise instructed or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted for “THREE YEARS.”

     

Proposal No. 4: Ratification of Appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. 

 

This proposal requests shareholders to ratify the appointment of Forvis Mazars LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes present, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on this matter at the Annual Meeting, is required for the ratification of the selection of Forvis Mazars LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. A broker or other nominee will generally have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal because it is considered a routine matter, and therefore we do not expect broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. However, any broker non-votes received will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

 

2

 

Deadline for Voting by Proxy

 

In order to be counted, votes cast by proxy must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.

 

Revocation of Proxies

 

Any Proxy given may be revoked by the shareholder at any time before it is voted by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by filing with the Secretary of the Company a Proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All Proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified thereon. If no instructions are specified, Proxies will be voted (i) FOR the election of the four nominees for directors named under “Election of Directors” (“Proposal No. 1”); (ii) FOR the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (“Proposal No. 2”); (iii) for, on non-binding advisory basis, the frequency of the approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers vote to occur the every THREE YEARS” (“Proposal No. 3”); (iv) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Forvis Mazars LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 (“Proposal No. 4”); and (v) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

 

PROPOSAL NO. 1

 

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

A majority of the independent directors of our Board have nominated the four persons listed below for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, to hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, or until their respective successors are elected and qualified. There are currently four authorized seats on the Company’s Board. It is intended that the proxies received, unless otherwise specified, will be voted “FOR” the four nominees named below, all of whom are incumbent directors of the Company and, with the exception of Messrs. Yong, is “independent” as specified in Section 803 of the NYSE American rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). It is not contemplated that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director but, should that occur, the persons designated as proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment. In no event will proxies be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

 

The following section sets forth certain information regarding the nominees for election as directors of the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

 

ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are required to provide shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) who were serving as executive officers at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”) (the “Named Executive Officers”), as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This advisory vote, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” vote, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the Company’s executive compensation policies and programs and the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers for Fiscal 2025.

 

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement by approving the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

 

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure, is hereby APPROVED.”

 

The Board believes that the Company’s executive compensation program effectively reflects the goals and objectives described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the Executive Compensation sections of this Proxy Statement and the overall compensation philosophy of the Company.

 

Required Vote and Recommendation

 

The approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, either in attendance or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. The vote on this Proposal No. 2 is advisory only and therefore is not binding on the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results in crafting their approach to future executive compensation matters. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the advisory resolution above, approving of the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers.

 

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the advisory resolution above, approving of the compensation paid to the Companys Named Executive Officers.

PROPOSAL NO. 3.

 

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE NON-BINDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ADVISORY VOTES

 

General

 

In Proposal No. 2, we are providing our shareholders the opportunity to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. In this Proposal No. 3, we are asking our shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote regarding the frequency of future executive compensation advisory votes. Shareholders may vote for a frequency of every ONE, TWO, OR THREE YEARS, or may abstain.

 

The Board will take into consideration the outcome of this vote in determining the frequency of future Say-on-Pay proposals. However, because this vote is advisory and non-binding, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders and the Company to hold the required Say-on-Pay vote more or less frequently, but no less frequently than once every three years, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act. In the future, we will propose an advisory vote on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay Vote at least once every six calendar years as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

After careful consideration, the Board believes that a Say-on-Pay vote should be held every three years, and therefore our Board recommends that you vote for a frequency of THREE YEARS for future Say-on-Pay proposals. The proxy card provides shareholders with the opportunity to choose among four options (holding the vote once every year, every two years or every three years, or abstaining) and, therefore, shareholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Board.

 

Vote Required and Recommendation

 

On this non-binding matter, a shareholder may vote to set the frequency of the Say-on-Pay votes to occur every year, every two years, or every three years, or the shareholder may vote to abstain. The choice among those four choices that receives the highest number of votes will be deemed the choice of the shareholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the Say-on-Pay vote.

 

The Board recommends that shareholders vote to hold advisory Say-on-Pay votes on executive compensation THREE YEARS.

PROPOPAL NO. 4

Any proposed services not qualifying as a pre-approved specified service, and pre-approved services exceeding the pre-determined fee levels, require further specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent accountants. Since June 30, 2004, all services provided by our auditors require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The policy has not been waived in any instance.

 

All Other Fees

Required Vote and Recommendation

 

Ratification of the selection of Forvis Mazars LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, either in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on this Proposal No. 4 at the Annual Meeting. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of this Proposal No. 4.  Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against this Proposal No. 4. A broker or other nominee will generally have discretionary authority to vote on this Proposal No. 4 because it is considered a routine matter, and therefore we do not expect broker non-votes with respect to this Proposal No. 4. However, any broker non-votes received will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal No. 4.

 

Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the ratification of Forvis Mazars as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

 

Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

 

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Forvis Mazars LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

Our Board has established a written Corporate Governance Program to address significant corporate governance issues that may arise. It sets forth the responsibilities and qualification standards of the members of the Board and is intended as a governance framework within which the Board, assisted by its committees, directs our affairs.

 

Policy Against Hedging Stock

 

Our policy prohibits our directors, officers, and other employees, and their designees, from engaging in short sales or from hedging transactions of any nature that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of such person’s ownership of the Company’s equity securities.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics applicable to all directors, officers, management and employees.  A copy of the Company's code of business conduct and ethics may be obtained, without charge, upon written request to the Secretary of the Company at Block 1008 Toa Payoh North #03-09 Singapore 318996. The Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website at: https://www.triotech.com/about-us/.

 

 

Insider Trading Policy

 

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers, employees, and consultants and contractors to the Company, designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE listing standards. A form of the Insider Trading Policy is available on the Company’s website at: https://www.triotech.com/about-us/.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

Our Board has discretion to determine whether to separate or combine the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yong, has served in executive roles and as a Director of the Company since 1990, and was elected Chairman of the Board in September 2023. Our Board believes that his combined role is advantageous to the Company and its shareholders. A number of factors support the leadership structure chosen by the Board, including, without limitation, Mr. Yong’s possession of in-depth knowledge of the Company, as well as the issues, opportunities and risks facing us, our business and our industry and is best positioned to fulfill the combined role to more effectively execute the Company’s strategic initiatives and business plans, as well as develop meeting agendas that focus the Board’s time and attention on critical matters and to facilitate constructive dialogue among Board members on strategic issues.

 

8

 

In addition to Mr. Yong’s leadership, the Board maintains effective independent oversight through a number of governance practices, including, open and direct communication with management, input on meeting agendas, and regular executive sessions.

 

Risk Management

 

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and senior management are primarily responsible for identifying and managing the risks facing the Company, and the Board oversees these efforts. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer report to the Board regarding any risks identified and steps the Company is taking to manage those risks. In addition, the Audit Committee identifies, monitors and analyzes the priority of financial risks, and reports to the Board regarding its financial risk assessments.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

The Board’s Audit Committee is responsible for review, approval, or ratification of “related-person transactions” between the Company or its subsidiaries and related persons. Under SEC rules, a related person is a director, officer, nominee for director, or 5% shareholder of the Company and their immediate family members. The Company's code of business conduct and ethics provides guidance to the Audit Committee for addressing actual or potential conflicts of interests that may arise from transactions and relationships between the Company and its executive officers or directors.  Potential conflicts relating to other personnel must be addressed by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer. There were no related party transactions during Fiscal 2025 for which disclosure would be required under SEC rules.

 

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

 

The Board held 16 regularly scheduled and special meetings during Fiscal 2025. All of the directors attended (in person or by telephone) at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and any committees of the Board on which they served during the last full fiscal year. Directors are expected to use their best efforts to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of our directors attended the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 10, 2024.

 

The Board has a standing Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which currently consists of two independent directors: Richard M. Horowitz, and Jason T. Adelman. Mr. Horowitz currently serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has oversight responsibility for determining the size, composition and structure of the Board and its committees, the nomination of directors, reviewing related party transactions and other matters involving actual or potential conflicts of interest, reviewing corporate social responsibility and related environmental, social and governance matters, among other related responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met once during Fiscal 2025. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a written charter, available on the Company’s website at https://www.triotech.com/about-us/.

 

The Board has also adopted a resolution addressing the nomination process and related matters and it states, among other things, that the Board believes that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom, contributing to the Board's ability to work as a collective body, while giving the Company the benefit of the familiarity and insight into the Company's affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure. The resolution further states that the Board will evaluate the performance of its Board members on an annual basis in connection with the nomination process. The Board may solicit recommendations for nominees from persons that the Board believes are likely to be familiar with qualified candidates, including without limitation members of the Board and management of the Company. The Board may also determine to engage a professional search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates if the need arises. The Board has not adopted specific minimum qualifications for a position on the Company’s Board or any specific skills or qualities that the Board believes are necessary for one or more of its members to possess. However, the Board will consider various factors including without limitation the candidate’s qualifications, the extent to which the membership of the candidate on the Board will promote diversity among the directors, and such other factors as the Board may deem to be relevant at the time and under the then existing facts and circumstances. The Company does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees for director. The Board seeks to nominate directors with a variety of skills and experience so that the Board will have the necessary expertise to oversee the Company’s business. The Company did not receive any recommendations as to nominees for election of directors for the Annual Meeting.

 

9

 

The Board will consider candidates proposed by shareholders of the Company and will evaluate all such candidates upon criteria similar to the criteria used by the Board to evaluate other candidates. Shareholders desiring to propose a nominee for election to the Board must do so in writing sufficiently in advance of an annual meeting so that the Board has the opportunity to make an appropriate evaluation of such candidate and his or her qualifications and skills and to obtain information necessary for preparing all of the disclosures required to be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the related meeting should such proposed candidate be nominated for election by shareholders. Shareholder candidate proposals should be sent to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at Block 1008 Toa Payoh North #03-09 Singapore 318996.

 

The Board has a standing Compensation Committee, which currently consists of two independent directors: Richard M. Horowitz and Jason T. Adelman. Mr. Adelman currently serves as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee determines salary and bonus arrangements. The Compensation Committee met four times during Fiscal 2025. The Compensation Committee has a written charter, available on the Company’s website at https://www.triotech.com/about-us/. For Fiscal 2025, the Compensation Committee did not retain a third-party consultant to review the Company’s current policies and procedures with respect to executive compensation.

 

The Board has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, the members of which consist of Jason T. Adelman and Richard M. Horowitz. Mr. Horowitz currently serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that the Audit Committee has at least one financial expert, Richard M. Horowitz. The Board has affirmatively determined that Richard M. Horowitz does not have a material relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment and is “independent” as independence is defined in Section 803 of the rules of the NYSE American. Pursuant to its written charter, which charter was adopted by the Board, and is available at https://www.triotech.com/about-us/, the Audit Committee is charged with, among other responsibilities, selecting our independent public accountants, reviewing our annual audit and meeting with our independent public accountants to review planned audit procedures. The Audit Committee also reviews with the independent public accountants and management the results of the audit, including any recommendations of the independent public accountants for improvements in accounting procedures and internal controls. The Audit Committee held seven meetings during Fiscal 2025. Each of the members of the Audit Committee satisfies the independence standards specified in Section 803 of the rules of the NYSE American and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Audit Committee fulfilled its duties and responsibilities as outlined in its charter. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and the independent auditor’s report on those financial statements, with the Company’s management and Forvis Mazars LLP, the Company’s independent auditor. Management presented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit Committee has discussed with Forvis Mazars LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee’s review included a discussion with management and the independent auditor of the quality (not merely the acceptability) of the Company’s accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant estimates and judgments, and the disclosures in the Company’s financial statements, including the disclosures relating to critical accounting policies.

 

The Audit Committee recognizes the importance of maintaining the independence of the Company’s independent auditor, both in fact and appearance. The Audit Committee has evaluated Forvis Mazars LLP’s qualifications, performance, and independence, including that of the lead audit partner. As part of its auditor engagement process, the Audit Committee considers whether to rotate the independent audit firm. The Audit Committee has established a policy pursuant to which all services, audit and non-audit, provided by the independent auditor must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee or its delegate. The Company’s pre-approval policy is more fully described in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.” The Audit Committee has concluded that provision of the non-audit services described in that section is compatible with maintaining the independence of Forvis Mazars LLP. In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosure and the letter from Forvis Mazars LLP required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Forvis Mazars LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Forvis Mazars LLP its independence.

 

10

 

Based on the above-described review, written disclosures, letter and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of the Company that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 

Our directors play a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing our management. In order to compensate them for their substantial time commitment, we provide a mix of cash and equity-based compensation. We do not provide pension or retirement plans for non-employee directors. S.W. Yong, Chairman of the Board, does not receive separate cash compensation for Board service as he is an employee director.

 

During Fiscal 2025, Richard M. Horowitz, and Jason T. Adelman, as non‑employee directors, received quarterly fees in an amount equal to $12,000 for each quarter and for service on the various committees of which they are a member. The directors were also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. Victor H.M. Ting, as a non‑employee director, received quarterly fees in an amount equal to $9,000 for each quarter.

 

Each of our directors is entitled to participate in our Amended and Restated 2017 Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Directors Plan”). Mr. Yong, as an employee of the Company, is entitled to participate in our 2017 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2017 Employee Plan”) and the 2017 Directors Plan. On March 26, 2025, pursuant to the 2017 Directors Plan, Messrs. Horowitz and Adelman each were granted an option to purchase 35,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.22 per share, and Mr. Ting was granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.22 per share. Each such option vested immediately upon grant and will terminate five years from the date of grant unless terminated pursuant to the 2017 Directors Plan. The exercise price under the options was set at 100% of fair market value (as defined in the 2017 Directors Plan) of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant of each such option. Information regarding the option grant to Mr. Yong is described under the section titled EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION below.

 

As of June 30, 2025, there were 260,000 shares available for grant under the 2017 Directors Plan and 108,500 shares available for grant under the 2017 Employee Plan.

 

The Compensation Committee reviewed the average directors’ fees for comparable public companies. The Compensation Committee believes that the director fees paid to its directors were and are substantially less than the fees paid to directors of comparable public companies. Directors’ compensation may be increased based on the profitability of the Company.

 

The following table contains information on compensation for our non-employee members of our Board for Fiscal 2025.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relating to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer; reviews goals and objectives of other executive officers; establishes the performance criteria (including both long-term and short-term goals) to be considered in light of those goals and objectives; evaluates the performance of the executives; determines and approves the compensation level for the Chief Executive Officer; and reviews and approves compensation levels of other key executive officers.

 

Compensation Objectives

 

The Company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly changing industry. The key objectives of the Company’s executive compensation programs are to:

 

 

attract, motivate and retain executives who drive the Company’s success and industry leadership;

 

 

provide each executive, from Vice-President to Chief Executive Officer, with a base salary based on the market value of that role, and the individual’s demonstrated ability to perform that role;

 

 

motivate executives to create sustained shareholder value by ensuring all executives have an “at risk” component of total compensation that reflects their ability to influence business outcomes and financial performance. 

 

What Our Compensation Program is Designed to Reward  

 

Our compensation program is designed to reward each individual executive officer’s contribution to the advancement of the Company’s overall performance and execution of our goals, ideas and objectives. It is designed to reward and encourage exceptional performance at the individual level in the areas of organization, creativity and responsibility while supporting the Company’s core values and ambitions. This in turn aligns the interest of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders, and thus with the interests of the Company.

 

Determining Executive Compensation

 

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation program for executive officers annually after the closing of each fiscal year. Reviewing the compensation program at such time allows the Compensation Committee to consider the overall performance of the past fiscal year and the financial and operating plans for the upcoming fiscal year in determining the compensation program for the upcoming fiscal year.

 

The Compensation Committee also annually reviews market compensation levels with comparable jobs in the industry to determine whether the total compensation for our officers remains in the targeted median pay range. This assessment includes evaluation of base salary, annual incentive opportunities, and long-term incentives for the key executive officers of the Company. The Company did not hire any compensation consultants in connection with setting executive compensation for Fiscal 2025.

 

The Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions are based on the Company’s operational performance, the performance and contribution of each individual officer, and the compensation budget and objectives of the Company. The Compensation Committee also considers other factors, such as the experience and potential of the officer and the market compensation level for a similar position.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Executive Compensation

 

The Compensation Committee determines compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, which is based on different factors, such as level of responsibility and contributions to the performance of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer recommends the compensation for the Company's executive officers (other than the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer) to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer and determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer is not present during voting on, or deliberations concerning, his compensation.

 

Components of Executive Compensation

 

The Company’s compensation program has three major components: (1) base annual salary; (2) potential annual cash incentive awards that are based primarily on financial performance of the Company or its relevant business operating units; and (3) long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options.

 

Base Salary

 

Base salaries are provided as compensation for day-to-day responsibilities and services to the Company and to meet the objective of attracting and retaining the talent needed to run the business.

 

Base salary for our executive officers was determined utilizing various factors.

 

One factor that was taken into account in determining base salary for our executive officers was the compensation policies of other companies comparable in size to and within substantially the same industry as the Company. Keeping our executive officers’ salaries in line with the market ensures the Company’s competitiveness in the marketplace in which the Company competes for talent.

 

Another factor taken into account in determining base salary for our executive officers was salaries paid by us to our executive officers during the immediately preceding year and increases in the cost of living.

 

The salary for each of our Named Executive Officers for the year ended June 30, 2025 and the percentage increase in their salary from the prior fiscal year’s salary were as follows:

 

Executives (1)

 

Base Salary

   

Percent

Increased (2)

 

S. W. Yong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

  $ 279,952       1.38 %

Anitha Srinivasan, Chief Financial Officer

  $ 119,255       6.71 %

Hwee Poh Lim, Senior Corporate Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (Testing Group)

  $ 131,090       6.45 %

 

 

(1)

Singapore executive officers’ base salaries are credited with a compulsory contribution ranging from 2.1% to 11.4% of base salary as required under Singapore’s provident pension fund.

 

 

(2)

Percent increase is based on the increase in base salary in the currency of Singapore. The appreciation of Singapore dollars against U.S. dollars is excluded in the calculation. The base cash compensation for the above-named officers of the Company, each of whom resides in Singapore, in Fiscal 2025, was denominated in the currency of Singapore. The exchange rate therefore was established as of June 30, 2025 and was computed to be 1.3288 Singapore dollars to each U.S. dollar.

 

Bonuses

 

The Compensation Committee approves the bonus formula for Company's executive officers annually, as intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

The bonus for each of our Named Executive Officers paid in the year ended June 30, 2025 for prior year efforts was as follows:

 

Executives(1)

S. W. Yong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

  $ 108,967

  $ 39,466

Option Grants

 

Stock options are intended to align the interests of key executives and shareholders by placing a portion of the key executives’ compensation at risk, tied to long-term shareholder value creation. Stock options are granted at 100% of the “fair market value” (as defined under the applicable plan) of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee believes that stock options are flexible and relatively inexpensive to implement when compared with cash bonuses. It also has no negative impact on the Company’s cash flow. The Compensation Committee believes that long-term incentives in the form of stock options can better encourage the executive officers to improve operations and increase profits for the Company through participation in the growth in value of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Compensation Committee views any option grant portion of our executive officer compensation packages as a special form of long-term incentive compensation to be awarded on a limited and non-regular basis, with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The objective of these awards is to ensure that the interests of our executives are closely aligned with those of our shareholders. These awards provide rewards to our executive officers based upon the creation of incremental shareholder value and the attainment of long-term financial goals. Stock options produce value to our executive officers only if the price of our stock appreciates, thereby directly linking the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders.

 

Awards of stock options are determined based on the Compensation Committee’s subjective determination of the amount of awards necessary, as a supplement to an executive officer’s base salary, to retain and motivate the executive officer.

 

In Fiscal 2025, we granted the following stock options to the following Named Executive Officers pursuant to the 2017 Employee Plan as indicated below.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Non-Public Information

 

Option grants to employees, executive officers and non-employee directors are made by the Compensation Committee under the 2017 Employee Plan and the 2017 Directors Plan from time to time, as determined by the Compensation Committee. We have a policy governing the timing of equity-based compensation awards to ensure integrity and compliance. We do not grant equity awards in anticipation of, or as a response to, the release of material nonpublic information that could affect the price of our Common Stock, nor do we adjust the timing of such information releases based on award grant dates. Equity awards are generally granted during open trading windows in accordance with our insider trading policy. Any equity awards made to executive officers or directors in connection with new hires, promotions, or other non-routine events are timed to coincide with the event giving rise to the grant, such as the commencement of employment or the effective date of a promotion.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2025, there were no equity grants made to our executive officers during any period beginning four business days before the filing of a periodic report or current report disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such report with the SEC.

 

Delinquent Section 16(A) Reports

 

Pursuant to Rule 16a-2 of the Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of 10% or more of our common stock are currently required to file statements of beneficial ownership with respect to their ownership of our equity securities under Sections 13 or 16 of the Exchange Act. Based on a review of written representations from our executive officers and directors and a review of Forms 4 and 5 furnished to us, we believe that during Fiscal 2025 the directors, executive officers and owners of more than 10% of our common stock filed, on a timely basis, all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table 

 

The Company's compensation structure consists of three primary components: (1) the base annual salary; (2) potential annual cash incentives; and (3) long-term incentive compensation through stock options. The Company emphasizes a pay-for-performance approach, where annual cash incentives are linked to metrics closely tied to the growth and profitability of our business. The objective of potential annual cash incentives is to establish a balanced alignment between the interests of executives and shareholders, while the other components of compensation are designed to support the Company's long-term retention initiatives.

 

We generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore do not specifically align our performance measures with “compensation actually paid” ​(as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.

 

20

 

PEO

 

From Fiscal 2024 to Fiscal 2025, compensation actually paid to the PEO decreased by $152,200 or 25%. Over the same period, the Company’s Total Shareholder Return decreased by 10%. A key factor that drove the decrease in pay during this period was due to decrease in the fair value of the awards granted and also lower bonus pay-out compared to a year ago.

 

From Fiscal 2023 to Fiscal 2024, compensation actually paid to the PEO increased by $50,959 or 9.1%. Over the same period, the Company’s Total Shareholder Return increased by 26%. A key factor that drove the increase in pay during this period was the rise in the fair value of the awards granted.

 

Other NEOs         

 

From 2024 to Fiscal 2025, compensation paid to the Other NEOs decreased by $42,284 or 18%. Over the same period, the Company’s Total Shareholder Return decreased by 10%. The decrease in pay during this period was primarily driven by lower fair value of awards granted and also lower bonus pay-out compared to a year ago.

 

From Fiscal 2023 to Fiscal 2024, compensation paid to the Other NEOs increased by $85,153 or 55.1%. Over the same period, the Company’s Total Shareholder Return increased by 26%. The increase in pay during this period was primarily driven by the higher fair value of awards granted and an increased bonus. In Fiscal 2023, the Chief Financial Officer was not entitled to performance-based cash bonus that is based on prior year's achievements since she joined the Company effective July 1, 2022.

 

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

 

Our Company has not historically looked to net income as a performance measure for our executive compensation program. In Fiscal 2025, our net income decreased 104%, or $1.09 million from Fiscal 2024, and the compensation actually paid for our PEO and Named Executive Officers decreased during this period, primarily due to lower fair value of the awards granted. In Fiscal 2024, our net income decreased 32.0%, or $494,000 from Fiscal 2023, and the compensation actually paid for our PEO and Named Executive Officers increased during this period, primarily due to the higher fair value of the awards granted.

 

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative Total Shareholder Return (TSR”)

 

Historically, we have not used financial performance measures such as TSR to align with compensation actually paid to our PEO and Other NEOs. As described in more detail in the section EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table, part of the compensation paid to our PEO and Other NEOs are eligible to receive consists of annual performance-based cash bonuses and equity awards that are designed to provide appropriate incentives to our executives to achieve defined annual corporate goals.

 

All information provided above under the Pay Versus Performance heading will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing of our Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.

ADDITIONAL MEETING INFORMATION

 

Shareholder Proposals

 

Shareholders who wish to present proposals at the Annual Meeting to be held following the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 should submit their proposals in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices located at Block 1008 Toa Payoh North, Unit 03-09 Singapore 318996. Rule 14a-8 requires that we receive such proposals not less than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of this Proxy Statement for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement and proxy card. If a shareholder intends to present a proposal at the next annual meeting of shareholders but does not seek inclusion of that proposal in the proxy statement for that meeting, the holders of proxies for that meeting will be entitled to exercise their discretionary authority on that proposal if the Company does not have notice of the proposal not more than 90 days nor less than 60 days before the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders.

 

Householding Of Proxy Materials

 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.

 

A number of brokers with account holders who are shareholders of the Company will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single set of the Company’s proxy materials will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of the Company’s proxy materials, please notify your broker or direct a written request to the Company. This request should be directed to the Corporate Secretary, Trio‑Tech International, Block 1008 Toa Payoh North #03-09 Singapore 318996 or at (65) 6354-9813 or at corpsec@triotech.com.sg. The Company undertakes to deliver promptly, upon any such oral or written request, a separate copy of its proxy materials to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Company’s proxy materials at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker, bank or other nominee, or contact the Company at the above address or phone number.
