On April 9^th OTH announced the launch of its global broker expansion initiative, with a newly introduced five-tier recruitment and performance structure. At the center of this expansion is a bold vision: to make boat and yacht sales one of the most rewarding, opportunity-rich careers on earth - where professionals can build meaningful income while helping people experience the freedom, joy, and lifestyle that only life on the water can deliver.

Since going public in November, OTH has nearly tripled its sales organization and its available capital resources, positioning the Company for its next phase of growth.

The OTH five-tier structure is designed to enable brokers to recruit, train, and grow teams within the platform, creating a system where expansion is not limited to centralized hiring.

Through the OTH infrastructure, brokers can:

Source and transact on boats across multiple markets.

Work from home or satellite locations.

Collaborate with other brokers across the network.

Participate in transactions beyond their immediate geographic region.
