Material Changes and Shareholder Actions
Shareholders representing approximately 77.76% of total voting powers approved three proposals unanimously (41,029,612 votes for, 0 against, 0 abstain):
- Share Consolidation: A 3-for-1 consolidation of existing shares (par value US$0.001) into consolidated shares (par value US$0.003). The authorized share capital remains US$300,000 but is divided into 100,000,000 consolidated shares.
- Fractional Shares: Fractional entitlements resulting from the consolidation will not be issued but will be redeemed in cash at the fair value (closing price on the first post-consolidation trading day).
- Share Capital Increase: Immediately following consolidation, the authorized share capital will increase from US$300,000 to US$900,000, divided into 300,000,000 consolidated shares.
Outlook and Management Commentary
The Company expects ordinary shares to begin trading on a post-consolidation basis on the date the registration statement on Form F-1 (No. 333-258054) relating to its public offering becomes effective. The Company has filed the necessary certificates with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.
