- Debt-to-Equity Conversion: Interest-free loans totaling US$8.5 million from these related parties were converted into Class A ordinary shares. The transaction closed on September 23, 2024.
- Resulting Position: This conversion increased stockholders' equity to approximately $3.3 million (US$), which management believes satisfies the Nasdaq listing requirement as of the filing date.
