Mr Woon previously served as an Independent Advisor to the Company and member of its Board of Advisors, and now joins the Board as an Independent Director as EFGH strengthens its governance framework ahead of its proposed U.S. listing.

He led the team that launched Channel NewsAsia in 1999, Singapore's English-language regional news broadcaster focused on Asia and global current affairs. Over the course of his career, he has played a key role in shaping media strategy, public trust and institutional credibility across Asia.
His appointment reflects EFGH's commitment to building a diverse and independent board as it prepares for life as a U.S. public company.
The Company's other Independent Directors are:
Mr Munya Chiura
A Zimbabwean with over 25 years of experience advising companies on emerging markets growth, Mr Chiura specialises in fintech expansion across Africa. He has held senior leadership roles at global cross-border platforms including dLocal, Flutterwave, Flywire and MPOWER Financing, and has also served as an Innovation Consultant to the World Bank.

Strong, independent oversight is not a formality — it is the bedrock of investor confidence and long-term value creation. I am proud to welcome Tai Ho, Cecily, Theng Kiat, and Munya to our Board. Each brings deep expertise and a proven track record, and together they will provide the independent perspective and rigour that will serve our shareholders, partners, and the communities we operate in.
