Material Changes and Transaction Structure
The primary material change is the execution of the SSSA, which establishes the framework for the cross-equity strategic alliance. Key structural elements include:

- Executive Leadership: Mr. Su-Leng Tan Lee, current CEO of BGLC, will serve as Fidelion's initial CEO. No additional compensation agreement for this role has been entered into as of the report date.
- Reserved Matters: Specific actions require enhanced shareholder approval, including material equity/debt issuances, M&A, disposition of core VitaGuard IP, budget variances, and CEO appointment/removal.
- Shareholder Rights: Includes rights of first refusal, tag-along, drag-along rights, and pre-emptive rights for the Company. Certain restrictions terminate upon a qualified financing or listing event.
- Related Party Transaction: As of November 11, 2025, Mr. Tan Lee beneficially owns approximately 4.1% of Fidelion. He abstained from the Board vote approving the transaction.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
Conditions Precedent: Completion of the SSSA is subject to several conditions, including:
- Execution of an exclusive intellectual property license for Southeast Asia between the Company and Fidelion.
- Execution of companion agreements between Fidelion and Wuxi Tongshu Biotechnology Co., Limited regarding IP ownership and patent services.
- Customary corporate and third-party consents.
Risks and Uncertainties:
- Execution Risk: As of the report date, the definitive IP license and companion agreements have not been executed. There is no assurance these will be entered into on favorable terms or at all.
- Closing Risk: There is no assurance that conditions precedent will be satisfied.
- Regulatory Status: The issuance of shares to Fidelion is an unregistered offshore transaction relying on Regulation S. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the execution status of the exclusive Southeast Asia IP license and the companion agreements with Wuxi Tongshu, which are conditions precedent to closing.
- Confirm the final post-closing capitalization structure, specifically the 15% stake for BGLC and 30% for Tongshu, once the transaction closes.
- Review the full text of the Share Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for detailed terms on reserved matters and transfer restrictions.
- Monitor for any future filings regarding compensation arrangements for Mr. Su-Leng Tan Lee in his dual role as CEO of both entities.
- Assess the impact of the 19.9% equity issuance on existing BGLC shareholders' dilution upon closing.
