Cre8 Enterprise Limited SEC filings document foreign private issuer current reports for a Hong Kong-based integrated financial printing service provider. The filings cover material events reported on Form 6-K, including the completed acquisition of Upperhand Investment Limited and its Japan operating subsidiary, Nasdaq minimum bid price compliance, and the company’s Class A and Class B ordinary share structure.
The filing record also documents capital actions and public-company disclosures, including the 1-for-12 reverse stock split, related adjustments to options, warrants and convertible securities, the full exercise of the IPO over-allotment option, press releases furnished as exhibits, and service-related updates such as cryptocurrency payment acceptance for clients.
Cre8 Enterprise Limited completed, through its wholly owned subsidiary Cre8 Incorporation Limited, the acquisition of 100% of Lingxpert Language Services Limited on November 2, 2026, for US$800,000 in cash. Cre8 funded the consideration from existing cash resources, and the subsidiary paid in full by bank transfer at closing. Lingxpert became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary and provides translation services in Hong Kong.
During FY2025, Lingxpert was a related party and historically provided translation services to a Cre8 operating subsidiary. Its prior owner, Starlux Ltd., transferred its interest to seller Sze Yan Chrystal Lau on January 1, 2026. Lau has a personal relationship with Jordan Lee, whose father, Seng Jin Lee, controls Cre8 Investments, Cre8’s controlling shareholder. Jordan Lee holds approximately 14.29% of Cre8 Investments’ issued shares; Seng Jin Lee has sole voting power under an acting-in-concert agreement. Jordan Lee disclosed his relationship with Lau, and Cre8’s board and audit committee approved the transaction. Cre8 expects the acquisition to expand in-house translation capacity and support IPO and non-IPO work through shared resources.

Cre8 Enterprise Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company for Hong Kong-based financial printing firm Cre8 Hong Kong, files its annual Form 20-F detailing operations and risks. The group serves IPO applicants and listed companies in Hong Kong on a project basis, leading to revenue volatility and seasonality.
Cre8 relies heavily on third-party printers, translators and a single leased Central Hong Kong office, exposing it to supplier, rental and business interruption risks. It highlights cybersecurity, data protection and brand-related intellectual property concerns, as well as dependence on key management and specialized staff.
As of December 31, 2025, Cre8 had 19,667,500 Class A and 4,500,000 Class B ordinary shares outstanding. The company reports material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting and ongoing legal proceedings over a HK$3.635 million receivable. It also discloses a US$200,000 acquisition of Upperhand Investment Limited, adding a Japan operating subsidiary and new cross-border compliance and integration risks.
Cre8 Enterprise Limited has expanded into Japan by acquiring 100% of Upperhand Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company that provides integrated financial printing services in Japan through its subsidiary Upperhand Japan Limited.
Cre8’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cre8 Incorporation Limited, purchased all of Upperhand’s issued and outstanding shares for US$200,000 in cash. The share purchase agreement was signed on March 10, 2026, the consideration was fully paid on March 17, 2026, and legal title to the shares transferred on April 1, 2026. Following completion, Cre8 owns all of Upperhand’s equity.
The company expects this acquisition to strengthen its ability to support cross-border initial public offerings and dual listings in the Japanese market, better address local regulatory and client requirements, and potentially realize operational efficiencies by integrating logistics, technology, and infrastructure across its Hong Kong and Japan operations.

Cre8 Enterprise Limited has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule. Nasdaq notified the company on March 2, 2026 that its Class A ordinary shares again meet Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share.
The company had fallen out of compliance after its share price stayed below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a 180-day cure period ending April 1, 2026. To address this, Cre8 executed a reverse stock split of all issued and unissued Class A and Class B ordinary shares at a one-for-twelve exchange ratio.
Following the reverse split, the closing bid price of the Class A ordinary shares was at or above US$1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days from February 13 to February 27, 2026, satisfying Nasdaq’s requirement and closing the deficiency matter.
