Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August 19, 2026, Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales
Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Sales Agent”) to create an at-the-market equity program under
which it may sell up to an aggregate of $300,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value $0.004 per share (the “Shares”),
from time to time through the Sales Agent (the “ATM Offering”).
Upon
delivery of a sales notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell the Shares by any
method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”),
on any other existing trading market for the ordinary share or to or through a market maker. If the Company and the Sales Agent agree
on any method of distribution other than sales of the Shares into Nasdaq or another existing trading market in the United States at market
prices, the Company will file a further prospectus supplement providing all information about such offering as required by Rule 424(b)
under the Securities Act. The Company may designate the maximum number of Shares to be sold on any trading day and the minimum price
per Share below which sales may not be made.
The
Company has no obligation to sell any ordinary shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company and the Sales Agent may suspend the ATM
Offering upon notice and subject to other conditions. Sales Agent is not obligated to purchase any Shares on a principal basis pursuant
to the Sales Agreement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by Sales Agent and the Company in a separate agreement. No assurance
can be given that the Company will sell any Shares under the Sales Agreement, or if such sales occur, no assurance can be given as to
the price or number of shares that will be sold, or the dates on which any such sales will take place.
The
Company will pay the Sales Agent commissions, in cash, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of the Shares. The Sales Agent
will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold. The Company will also reimburse
the Sales Agent for certain specified expenses in connection with the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Sales Agent, other obligations of the parties
and termination provisions.
The
Company may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to the Sales Agent. The
Sales Agent may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon prior written notice to the Company.
The
issuance and sale of the Shares to or through the Sales Agent from time to time will be effected pursuant to the Company’s effective
shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-287428), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on June 27, 2025, and the prospectus supplement relating to the ATM Offering filed with the SEC on August 21,
2026.
The
foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy
of the legal opinion and consent of Ogier relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.
This
Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein,
nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
