NEW YORK, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High-Trend International Group (Nasdaq: HTCO, the "Company") today announced that it has completed the cancellation and retirement of 630,000 Class A ordinary shares (the "Pre‑Delivery Shares") that were previously issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC ("Streeterville") pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated October 29, 2025.

HTCO Chairman Mr. Christopher Nixon Cox stated that this transaction will help further optimize the Company's capital structure, reduce potential dilution and provide greater flexibility for the execution of its future business strategy.

Previously, the Company had entered into a payoff acknowledgment and termination agreement with Streeterville, under which the Company fully satisfied all obligations arising from the related financing and received the return of the Pre‑Delivery Shares. Following the completion of the relevant share return and transfer procedures, all 630,000 Pre‑Delivery Shares have now been cancelled and retired, resulting in a corresponding reduction of 630,000 in the number of the Company's issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares.
