Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Rich Sparkle Holdings Limited has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Step Distinctive Limited for a consideration of US$975,000,000, to be paid through the issuance of 75,000,000 ordinary shares to the vendors. Step Distinctive, through its Hong Kong subsidiary, operates an e-commerce live-streaming business that will continue to be led by top influencer Serigne Khabane Lame, who currently controls 49% of the target company. Because the deal would combine Rich Sparkle with a non-Nasdaq entity and may result in a change of control, the company must apply for initial Nasdaq listing in connection with the transaction. The agreement is subject to conditions including a valuation of at least US$900 million, completion of due diligence, and stock exchange approval for dealing in the consideration shares.

Insights

All-share US$975M acquisition with potential change of control and Nasdaq re-listing requirement.

The company has agreed to acquire 100% of Step Distinctive Limited for US$975,000,000, paid entirely in 75,000,000 new ordinary shares. The target controls an e-commerce live-streaming business via a Hong Kong subsidiary and will continue to be led by influencer Serigne Khabane Lame, who currently controls 49% of the target. This structure means existing shareholders face significant equity issuance tied to closing the transaction.

The filing notes that the combination with a non-Nasdaq entity may lead to a change of control, triggering a requirement to apply for initial Nasdaq listing under Rule 5110(a). That introduces regulatory and listing review alongside normal deal execution. Closing is conditional on a valuation of at least US$900 million, satisfactory due diligence, and stock exchange approval for dealing in the consideration shares, so completion depends on these tests being met.

Execution will hinge on completion of valuation and due diligence as described, as well as obtaining stock exchange approval for the consideration shares. Subsequent company communications and regulatory responses related to the initial listing application and satisfaction of these conditions will determine whether and when the transaction is completed on the stated terms.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 9, 2026, Rich Sparkle Holdings Limited, a business company limited by shares incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”), entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Serigne Khabane Lame, Dominant Action Limited, Pink13 Group Inc., Anhui Xiaoheiyang Network Technology Company Limited, Develop Master Limited and Ace Fantasy Limited (the “Vendors”), pursuant to which the Company intends to purchase the entire issued share capital of Step Distinctive Limited (the “Target Company”) at the consideration of US$975,000,000, which shall be satisfied by way of issuance of 75,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company to the Vendors (the “Transaction”).

 

The Target Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and holds 100% of the issued share capital in Hong Kong Prosperous Sheep Corporation Limited, a company limited by shares incorporated in Hong Kong. Serigne Khabane Lame, a world-known Senegalese/Italian Tiktok influencer, directly and indirectly through Dominant Action Limited, a company owned as to 95% by Serign Khabane Lame, controlled 49% of the issued share capital of the Target Company. The Target Company and its subsidiary operates in e-commerce live streaming with well-developed supply chain, live streaming operation and commercialization and will continue to be led by top influencer Serigne Khabane Lame after the Transaction.

 

Because the Transaction is a transaction whereby the Company combines with a non-Nasdaq entity resulting in a potential change of control of the Company, the Company is required to apply for initial listing in connection with the Transaction pursuant to Rule 5110(a) of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, the Transaction is conditional upon, among others, (i) completion of the valuation to the satisfaction of the Company of the Target Company at not less than US$900 million, (ii) the completion of a due diligence investigation in respect of the Target Company and its subsidiary; and (iii) the stock exchange having grant approval for dealing in the consideration share.

 

The foregoing summary of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by the copy of such document filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 6-K and incorporate herein by reference.
