SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Vantage Corp (NYSE American: VNTG) (\u201cVantage\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d)<\/b>, a shipbroking company providing comprehensive services including brokerage, consultancy, and operational support in the tanker market, today announced that its wholly owned holding subsidiary, Vantage (BVI) Corporation, has entered into three separate Sales and Purchase Agreements (\u201cSPAs\u201d) to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of PJ Marine Singapore Pte. Ltd. (\u201cPJ Singapore\u201d), 60% of the issued share capital of PJ Marine Shanghai Co., Ltd. (\u201cPJ Shanghai\u201d), and 60% of the issued share capital of Peijun Marine Consultant Co., Limited (\u201cPeijun Marine\u201d), respectively, for a total consideration of approximately $3.6 million, to be settled entirely in cash. The consideration will be paid in two installments: the first payment on the Completion Date and the second payment on the first anniversary of the Completion Date.\n<\/p>\n

About the Newly Acquired Companies<\/b><\/p>\n

\nPJ Singapore is a Singapore-based shipbroking firm specializing in the petrochemicals market. Over the years, PJ Singapore has expanded its presence in China, establishing strong connections and operational links that have broadened its market access and enhanced its service offerings. PJ Singapore has operated profitably over the last 13 years since inception.\n<\/p>\n

\nPJ Shanghai and Peijun Marine, shipbroking firms based in China and Hong Kong respectively, will further strengthen Vantage\u2019s petrochemicals and S&P practices. In particular, PJ Shanghai\u2019s established operational presence and infrastructure in China create synergies that support accelerated regional expansion and enhance operational efficiency across Vantage and the newly acquired firms.\n<\/p>\n

\nBy combining the operations of these three firms, Vantage Corp aims to build a tri-hub operational model across key maritime markets in Asia, strengthening its geographic footprint and better serving its global client base across key trade routes. Based on fiscal 2024 results of the acquired companies, the acquisition is expected to contribute $3.5 million in annual revenue with an overall net profit margin of 22.3%.\n<\/p>\n

China Market Entry Rational<\/b><\/p>\n

\nChina accounts for roughly 35% of global petrochemical production capacity and with its focus shifting toward domestic consumption and improved feedstock pipeline infrastructure starting in 2026, the local petrochemical shipping market is expected to remain resilient even amid broader market volatility. China also commands 48% of global tanker newbuild orders in 2025, maintaining its dominant shipbuilding role. PJ Singapore and PJ Shanghai will serve as a strategic gateway into the China market, catalyzing Vantage Corp\u2019s regional expansion strategy and accelerating its growth across the petrochemicals and S&P segments.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis acquisition not only leverages operational synergies but also jumpstarts Vantage Corp\u2019s planned expansion into the China region, with PJ Singapore\u2019s established presence and network and PJ Shanghai\u2019s operational infrastructure providing an immediate platform to accelerate and support this growth. It reinforces the Company\u2019s commitment to scaling its operational capabilities by investing in talent and extending the reach of its shipbroking services through strategically targeted, inorganic growth initiatives.\n<\/p>\n

Acquisition Summary<\/b><\/p>\n

\nVantage Corp\u2019s regional growth strategy centers on identifying and acquiring companies that have the potential to create accretive value through clear operational synergies, strong profitability, and high growth potential. PJ Singapore, PJ Shanghai, and Peijun Marine each specialize in China\u2019s petrochemicals market, positioning them as highly complementary partners. The operational presence and local networks Vantage will acquire provide a seamless pathway for the Company to capture a meaningful share of China\u2019s growing petrochemicals market and to expand into the region\u2019s S&P market.\n<\/p>\n
