[6-K/A] Epsium Enterprise Limited Amended Current Report (Foreign Issuer)
At an extraordinary general meeting on August 22, 2025, Epsium Enterprise Limited re-designated its capital structure to create a three-class share capital: 800,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 100,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 100,000,000 Preferred Shares, all with par value US$0.00002. Existing ordinary shares and previously authorised preferred shares were reclassified one-for-one into Class A and Class B shares respectively. Class B shares carry 20 votes per share and are convertible at the holder's option into Class A shares on a one-for-one basis. The company also adopted a Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association replacing the prior M&A. Subject to those changes, the company approved the issuance of 10,800,000 Class B shares to Son I Tam and the repurchase of 10,800,000 Class A shares held by him, with the repurchase funded by proceeds from that fresh issuance.
- Authorized share structure expanded to 1,000,000,000 shares, providing corporate flexibility for future issuances.
- Class B shares are convertible one-for-one into Class A shares, preserving economic parity between classes upon conversion.
- Amended M&A adopted to formalize and document the new rights, preferences, and conversion mechanics.
- Creation of Class B shares with 20 votes per share concentrates voting power and can entrench majority control.
- Issuance of 10,800,000 Class B shares to the CEO and repurchase of his Class A shares shifts voting influence to an insider.
- Potential minority shareholder dilution of voting rights due to asymmetric voting structure if additional Class B shares are issued.
Insights
TL;DR: The resolution creates a dual-class structure giving concentrated voting power to Class B holders, raising governance and minority-owner control concerns.
The reclassification introduces Class B shares with 20 votes per share, materially concentrating control for holders of Class B stock if issued. The immediate issuance of 10,800,000 Class B shares to the CEO, coupled with a repurchase of his Class A shares, effectively converts economic interest into higher voting influence without a cash outlay by the company. Replacing the M&A formalizes these rights and conversion mechanics. For minority shareholders, this reduces voting parity and increases the risk that strategic decisions may be controlled by a small group. The changes are procedural but materially affect shareholder governance rights.
TL;DR: The company expanded authorized share classes and executed a targeted conversion/repurchase for its CEO, altering capital and voting structure.
The authorization now permits up to 1,000,000,000 shares across three classes, providing the board flexibility to issue equity. Class B shares are convertible one-for-one into Class A shares, preserving economic equivalence while granting Class B holders 20x voting power. The immediate issuance of 10,800,000 Class B shares to the CEO with an offsetting repurchase of his Class A shares is a structural transaction shifting voting power. This is likely to be material to shareholder control dynamics though it does not, as disclosed, change aggregate outstanding economic interest disclosed in this notice.
