Insights

Board got shareholder approval to pursue a wide-ranging reverse split authority.

The Consenting Stockholders, who held 83.28% of voting power as of February 24, 2026, approved a Charter Amendment filing that would permit the Board to effect a reverse split at any ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-2,000 through February 23, 2027.

Implementation is discretionary: the Board may abandon or delay the reverse split prior to filing, and if implemented the company will not change authorized shares or par value, which effectively increases future issuance capacity.

The company authorized a Regulation S PIPE intended for offshore buyers totaling up to $8,000,000.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contemplates aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5,000,000 to $8,000,000, with final share counts and pricing determined by the Board and transfer restrictions for non-U.S. persons under Regulation S.

Closings are conditioned on customary items including Delaware compliance and, if required, Nasdaq notification/approval; timing and final pricing are subject to the agreement and purchaser subscriptions.

ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Elite Express Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), as of February 24, 2026 (the “Record Date”).

 

We hereby advise such stockholders of record on the Record Date that on February 24, 2026, certain stockholders of the Company (collectively, the “Consenting Stockholders”), including Yidan Chen and Huan Liu, who as of the Record Date collectively held a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote thereon (with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to fifteen (15) votes per share), approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting, in accordance with Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and the Company’s Charter, (i) resolutions approving the Regulation S PIPE (“Action No. 1”), as more fully described below, and (ii) resolutions authorizing the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to file, in its discretion, until February 23, 2027, amendments to the Charter to effect a reverse stock split of each class of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at a ratio within a range from 1-for-2 to 1-for-2,000, with the exact ratio (if any) to be determined by the Board (“Action No. 2”), as set forth in the form of certificate of amendment to our Charter (the “Charter Amendment”) attached to the accompanying Information Statement as Appendix B.

 

On February 24, 2026, the Board unanimously approved Action No. 1 and Action No. 2, and recommended Action No. 1 and Action No. 2 for approval by our stockholders.

ACTION NO. 1

 

Background

 

On February 24, 2026, the Board unanimously approved, and recommended that our stockholders approve, a securities offering conducted pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. the issuance and sale in an aggregate offering amount of up to $8 million, with the final number of shares and purchase price per share to be determined by the Board or a duly authorized committee . On February 24, 2026, resolutions authorizing the Board to file the Reverse Split Charter Amendment were approved by the Consenting Stockholders holding approximately 83.28% of the voting power our outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Record Date.

 

Such Regulation S PIPE will be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement appended herewith as Appendix A. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each purchaser, severally and not jointly, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on such purchaser’s signature page at a purchase price of $[●] per share, for aggregate gross proceeds expected to be approximately $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 (subject to final pricing and subscriptions). The Regulation S PIPE is intended to be made solely to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S, and the securities issued in the Regulation S PIPE will be unregistered and subject to transfer restrictions.

 

Closing of the Regulation S PIPE will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, the Company’s compliance with applicable requirements of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in connection with execution and performance of the Stock Purchase Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and, if required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company’s submission of a Listing of Additional Shares Notification Form to Nasdaq and receipt of Nasdaq approval. The Stock Purchase Agreement may provide for termination rights, including if the closing has not been consummated on or before [●], 2026.

 

 

 

 

ACTION NO. 2

 

APPROVAL OF REVERSE SPLIT CHARTER AMENDMENT TO GIVE THE BOARD THE

DISCRETION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Background

 

On February 24, 2026, the Board unanimously approved, and recommended that our stockholders approve, the form of Reverse Split Charter Amendment to give the Board the discretion, until February 23, 2027 to effect a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at any ratio at the Board’s discretion, from 1-for-2 to 1-for-2,000, with the final ratio (if any) to be determined by, and subject to final approval of, the Board (the “reverse stock split”). On February 24, 2026, resolutions authorizing the Board to file the Charter Amendment were approved by the Consenting Stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon on the Record Date.

 

The Board will have the sole discretion, until February 23, 2027 to elect whether to effect the reverse stock split and, if so, the number of shares— ranging from 2 to 2,000 —which will be reclassified into one share of our Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable. The text of the form of Reverse Split Charter Amendment, which would be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect the reverse stock split, is set forth in Appendix B to this Information Statement. However, such text is subject to amendment to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Delaware Secretary of State or as the Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the reverse stock split.

 

If the Board elects to effect the reverse stock split, the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock would be reduced in accordance with a reverse split ratio selected by the Board within the range described above. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of outstanding Common Stock immediately following the reverse stock split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. We are not seeking to change the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock or the par value per share of our Common Stock in connection with the reverse stock split; therefore, if implemented, the reverse stock split will result in an effective increase in the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance in the future.

 

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

 

We believe that implementing the Reverse Split Charter Amendment may provide benefits to the Company and our existing stockholders in a number of ways, including:

 

  ·   Maintaining a Listing on Nasdaq. The primary purpose of the reverse stock split is to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in order to maintain the listing of our Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). On October 31, 2025, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq continued listing criteria because the bid price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock was below $1.00 per share for a period of time specified by the applicable Nasdaq rule. Under the applicable Nasdaq rule, the Company may be afforded a period of time to regain compliance by having the bid price of its Class A Common Stock meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum number of consecutive business days during the applicable compliance period. If we do not regain compliance within the applicable compliance period, our Class A Common Stock could be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.

 

The reverse stock split would decrease the total number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and should, absent other factors, proportionately increase the market price of our Class A Common Stock, which we believe would help us to maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirements following the reverse stock split or otherwise.

 

Delisting from Nasdaq may adversely affect the Company’s ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade in the Company’s securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our Class A Common Stock. Delisting may also have other negative impacts, including potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors or interest in business development opportunities.

 

3

 

 

  ·   Meeting Stock Price Requirements. We understand that many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either may prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or may tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers or by restricting or limiting the ability to purchase such stocks on margin. In addition, we believe that a higher stock price may increase the acceptability of our Class A Common Stock to a number of long-term investors who may not find shares of our Class A Common Stock attractive at a lower market price due to the trading volatility often associated with stocks below certain prices.

 

Board Discretion to Implement or Abandon the Reverse Stock Split

 

The reverse stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a subsequent determination by the Board that the reverse stock split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at the time. Such determination will be based upon several factors, including those described in “—Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split” above. Notwithstanding approval to file the Reverse Split Charter Amendment by the Consenting Stockholders, the Board may determine, in its sole discretion and prior to the effectiveness of any filing with the Delaware Secretary of State, not to effect the reverse stock split. If the Board decides not to implement the reverse stock split before February [●], 2026, further stockholder approval would be required prior to implementing any reverse stock split.

 

Criteria to Be Used for Decision to Effect the Reverse Stock Split

 

The Board has been authorized to proceed with the reverse stock split in any ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-2,000 that it selects in its sole discretion. The Board is not required to determine to proceed with the reverse stock split and may not do so. In determining whether to proceed with the reverse stock split, the Board expects to consider a number of factors, including market conditions, existing and expected bid and trading prices of our Class A Common Stock, the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, and the amount of our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. The Board does not intend for the reverse stock split to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private” transaction within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

 

Action by Written Consent; No Further Vote Required

 

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL and as permitted by the Company’s Charter, the Company may take action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to the extent such action is authorized by the DGCL and the Charter.

 

The Company elected to obtain stockholder approval of the resolutions to file the Reverse Split Charter Amendment by written consent of the Consenting Stockholders, which required the affirmative approval of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class (with each share of Class A Common Stock entitled to one (1) vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to fifteen (15) votes per share). As of the Record Date, Yidan Chen beneficially owned 0 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,666,667 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing 25,000,005 votes, and Huan Liu beneficially owned 0 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing 37,500,000 votes, and together they represented 83.28% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote thereon. As the requisite stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment has been received, all corporate approvals by or on behalf of the Company required for the approval of Action No. 2 and the Charter Amendment have been obtained and no further votes are needed.

 

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

If the reverse stock split is effected by the Board, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of our Common Stock. This would affect all of our stockholders uniformly and would not affect any stockholder’s respective percentage ownership in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in a stockholder owning a fractional share as described below. The number of stockholders of record would not be affected by the reverse stock split, except to the extent that any stockholder holds only a fractional share interest and receives cash for such interest after the reverse stock split.

 

4

 

 

Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock generally will not be affected by the reverse stock split (other than as a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as described below). For example, a holder of 5% of the voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the reverse stock split would continue to hold 5% of the voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock after the reverse stock split. For purposes of determining voting power, each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to fifteen (15) votes.

 

The table below provides examples of a Reverse Stock Split at various ratios between 1-for-2 and 1-for-2,000:

 

Shares Outstanding
as of February 24, 2026
   Reverse Stock
Split Ratio
  Shares Outstanding
After Reverse Stock Split
   Reduction in
Shares Outstanding
 
16,716,672   1-for-2   8,358,336    8,358,336 
16,716,672   1-for-10   1,671,667    15,045,005 
16,716,672   1-for-500   33,433    16,683,239 
16,716,672   1-for-2,000   8,358    16,708,314 

 

In addition, because the number of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease following the reverse stock split without any reduction in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock, the number of shares available for issuance by us in the future would effectively increase as a result of the reverse stock split. These additional shares would be available for issuance from time to time for a variety of general corporate purposes as the Board may determine to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders from time to time.

 

The increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance could have an anti-takeover effect. The additional shares could be issued to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company or could be issued to persons allied with the Board or management and, thereby, have the effect of making it more difficult to remove directors or members of management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to effect such a removal.

 

As of February 24, 2026, the Company has (i) zero shares of Class A Common Stock subject to outstanding equity awards, (ii) zero outstanding warrants convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock and (iii) 4,166,667 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to issuance pursuant to the terms of outstanding convertible securities. Under the terms of the various instruments governing our outstanding equity awards, warrants and convertible securities, the reverse stock split will effect a reduction in the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon vesting/settlement/exercise or conversion, in proportion to the ratio selected by the Board. The reverse stock split will effect a proportionate increase in the exercise price of outstanding stock options and warrants, and the conversion price of convertible securities, as applicable, in each case in accordance with their respective terms. In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding instruments may be rounded down to the nearest whole share and no cash payment will be made in respect of such rounding, except to the extent any applicable instrument provides otherwise.

 

After the reverse stock split is effected, if at all, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. By itself, the reverse stock split will not have any impact on the market in which our Class A Common Stock is traded; however, our Class A Common Stock will be identified with a new CUSIP number following any reverse stock split.

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

 

The effect of the reverse stock split upon the market price for our Class A Common Stock cannot be accurately predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. In particular, there is no assurance that the price per share of our Class A Common Stock after the reverse stock split is implemented will be 2 to 2,000 times, as applicable, the price per share of our Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the reverse stock split. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Class A Common Stock immediately after the reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Even if an increased share price can be maintained, the reverse stock split may not achieve the other desired results which have been outlined above. In particular, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will increase our stock price and have the desired effect of maintaining compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. Moreover, because some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split Charter Amendment will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock or, alternatively, that the market price following the reverse stock split will either exceed or remain in excess of the current market price.

 

In addition, although we believe the reverse stock split may enhance the desirability of our Class A Common Stock to certain potential investors, we cannot assure you that, if implemented, our Class A Common Stock will be more attractive to institutional and other long term investors or that the liquidity of our Class A Common Stock will increase. In particular, because there would be a reduced number of shares outstanding after the reverse stock split, implementation of the reverse stock split may lead to reduced trading, increased sales by retail investors and/or a smaller number of market makers for our Class A Common Stock, thereby decreasing liquidity of the Class A Common Stock.

 

If the reverse stock split is implemented, some stockholders may consequently own less than one hundred shares of our Common Stock. A purchase or sale of less than one hundred shares (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own less than one hundred shares following the reverse stock split may be required to pay modestly higher transaction costs should they then determine to sell their shares in the Company.

 

Effective Date

 

If the Board elects to proceed with the reverse stock split in one of the approved ratios, the reverse stock split would become effective on the date of the filing (the “Reverse Stock Split Effective Time”) of the Reverse Split Charter Amendment with the office of the Delaware Secretary of State, which will be no earlier than 20 calendar days after we send this Information Statement to our stockholders of record as of the Record Date. Except as explained below with respect to fractional shares, at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be automatically reclassified into new shares of our Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board among the approved ratios described above. If the Board decides not to implement the Reverse Split Charter Amendment before February 23, 2027 further stockholder approval would be required prior to implementing any reverse stock split.

 

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates, if Applicable

 

Overview

 

If the Board elects to proceed with the reverse stock split within the previously approved range, the Company will issue, at least three (3) business days in advance of the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, a press release announcing the reverse stock split, the final ratio approved by the Board, and the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time. The press release may contain additional information regarding any procedures that stockholders will need to follow in connection with the reverse stock split.

 

Within four (4) business days following the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that the Reverse Split Charter Amendment has been filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. In addition, as soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, stockholders of record will be notified by our transfer agent that the reverse stock split has been effected.

 

6

 

 

Shares Held in Book-Entry Form

 

Our registered holders of Common Stock may hold some or all of their shares of Common Stock electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. Unless the Company makes a subsequent public disclosure to the contrary at the time of approving any reverse stock split, if you hold shares of Common Stock in book-entry form, you will not need to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split shares of our Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, our transfer agent will send to your registered address a statement of ownership indicating the number of post-reverse stock split shares of Common Stock you hold. If applicable, a check representing a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares will also be enclosed with the statement (see “Fractional Shares” below).

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares of our Common Stock will be entitled to receive cash (without interest or deduction) in lieu of such fractional share interests, in an amount equal to the proceeds attributable to the sale of such fractional shares following the aggregation and sale by our transfer agent of all fractional shares otherwise issuable.

 

As of the Record Date, there were approximately 16 stockholders of record of our Common Stock. If the Board elects to implement the reverse stock split, we do not expect that cashing out fractional stockholders would significantly reduce the number of stockholders of record.

 

Accounting Matters

 

The proposed Reverse Split Charter Amendment will not affect the par value of our Common Stock per share, which will remain $0.000001 par value per share; however, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately with the reverse stock split, if implemented. Any reduction in stated capital will be added to additional paid in capital, the net effect of which is that stockholders’ equity will remain unchanged. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

 

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences to our stockholders as a result of the reverse stock split, if implemented. The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities and current administrative rulings and practices as in effect on the date of this Information Statement. Changes to the laws or differing interpretations could alter the tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions reached herein. This summary is limited to stockholders that are U.S. holders, as defined below, and that hold our Common Stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment).

 

This summary is for general information only and does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be applicable to a holder’s particular circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules, such as, for example, brokers and dealers in securities, currencies or commodities, banks and financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, expatriates, tax-exempt entities, governmental organizations, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S., insurance companies, persons holding shares of our Common Stock as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction or a straddle or persons deemed to sell shares of our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, persons that hold more than 5% of our Common Stock, persons that hold our Common Stock in an individual retirement account, 401(k) plan or similar tax-favored account or partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and investors in such entities.

This summary does not address any U.S. federal tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences (such as estate or gift tax consequences), the Medicare tax on net investment income, the alternative minimum tax or any U.S. state, local or foreign tax consequences. This summary also does not address any U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to any other transaction other than the Reverse Stock Split.

 

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

  ·   an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

 

  ·   a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

  ·   an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

  ·   a trust if (1) it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

If an entity (or arrangement) classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a holder of our Common Stock is a partner of a partnership holding shares of our Common Stock, such holder should consult his or her own tax advisor.

 

THIS SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSIDERATIONS ARISING UNDER OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS (SUCH AS THE ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS) OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY).

 

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a recapitalization, except as described below with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share, a U.S. holder will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the Reverse Stock Split. In the aggregate, a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split (excluding the portion of the tax basis that is allocable to any fractional share) will equal the U.S. holder’s tax basis in its Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split in exchange therefor, and the holding period of the U.S. holder’s Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will include the holding period of the Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split in exchange therefor.

 

In general, a U.S. holder who receives a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the U.S. holder’s tax basis of the Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split that is allocable to the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in its Common Stock surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split is more than one year as of the date of the Reverse Stock Split. The deductibility of net capital losses by individuals and corporations is subject to limitations. Depending on a stockholder’s individual facts and circumstances, it is possible that cash received in lieu of a fractional share could be treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code, so stockholders should consult their own tax advisors as to that possibility and the resulting tax consequences to them in that event.

 

U.S. holders that have acquired different blocks of our Common Stock at different times or at different prices are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the allocation of their aggregated adjusted basis among, and the holding period of, our Common Stock.

Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the IRS with respect to the payment of cash in lieu of a fractional share made pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split unless such U.S. holder is an exempt recipient and timely and properly establishes with the applicable withholding agent the exemption. In addition, payments of cash in lieu of a fractional share made pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding, unless a U.S. holder timely provides to the applicable withholding agent proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption.

 

Dissenter’s Rights

 

None of the DGCL, our Charter or our Bylaws provides holders of our Common Stock with dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the Reverse Split Charter Amendment, if the Board elects to proceed with the reverse stock split in one of the approved ratios, or the resulting reverse stock split.

3.3            Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms that the Shares to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

A-4 

 

 

3.6            Ability to Bear Risk. Purchaser understands and agrees that purchase of the Shares is a high-risk investment and Purchaser is able to afford and bear an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company, including a risk of total loss of such investment. Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Shares indefinitely because none of the Shares may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration(s) is available. The Purchaser represents that it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

3.7            Disclosure of Information. Purchaser has been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company and has utilized such access to Purchaser’s satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining such information regarding the Company as Purchaser has reasonably requested. In particular, Purchaser: (i) has received and thoroughly read and evaluated all the disclosures contained in this Agreement; and (ii) has been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents as Purchaser has requested and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares and the business and affairs of the Company and to obtain any additional information concerning the Company’s business to the extent reasonably available so as to understand more fully the nature of this investment and to verify the accuracy of the information supplied. The Purchaser is satisfied that it has received adequate information with respect to all matters which he/she/it considers material to its decision to make this investment.

 

3.8            No other documents. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated in this Agreement.

 

3.9            Use of Purchase Price. Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that management of the Company shall have sole and absolute discretion concerning the use of the Purchase Price as well as the timing of its expenditures.

 

3.10          Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and are offered by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the SEC and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company that are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser is solely responsible for determining what these restrictions are, and the Purchaser is solely responsible (and the Company is not in any way responsible) for compliance with applicable resale restrictions.

 

3.11          Exculpation Among Purchasers. Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser is not liable to any other purchasers participating in this Offering for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

3.13          The Purchaser is aware that the Company is a “reporting company” (as such term is used in the Exchange Act) in the U.S.;

 

3.14          The Company may complete additional financings, including project financing, in the future in order to develop the business of the Company and to fund its ongoing development; there is no assurance that such financings or project financings will be available and, if available, on reasonable terms; failure to obtain sufficient additional funds by way of debt or equity financings or through joint ventures will prevent the continued development of the business of the Company and any such future financings may have a dilutive effect on current security holders, including the Purchaser;

 

3.15          Confidential Information. The Purchaser agrees that such Purchaser and its employees, agents and representatives will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use (other than for purposes of monitoring its investment in the Company) any confidential information which such Purchaser may obtain from the Company pursuant to financial statements, reports and other materials submitted by the Company to such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, unless such information is (i) known to the public through no fault of such Purchaser or his or its employees or representatives; (ii) becomes part of the public domain other than by a breach of this Agreement; (iii) becomes known by the action of a third party not in breach of a duty of confidence; or (iv) is required to be disclosed to a third party pursuant to any applicable law, government resolution, or decision of any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Purchaser provides the Company with prompt written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permissible) and cooperates with the Company's efforts to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; provided, however, that a Purchaser may disclose such information (i) to its attorneys, accountants and other professionals who have a need to know such information in connection with their representation of such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s investment in the Company, provided such persons are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein, (ii) to any prospective permitted transferee of the Securities, or (iii) to any general partner or affiliate of such Purchaser, so long as the prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.15.

3.16          Regulation S Exemption.  The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemption and the suitability of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.  In this regard, the Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that:

 

(i)              The Purchaser is not a U.S. Person and is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) of the Company and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.  A “U.S. Person” means any one of the following:

 

(A)any natural person resident in the United States of America;
(B)any partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States of America;

(2)formed by a U.S. person principally for the purpose of investing in securities not registered under the Securities Act, unless it is organized or incorporated, and owned, by accredited investors (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) who are not natural persons, estates or trusts.

 

(ii)            At the time of the origination of contact concerning this Agreement and the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Purchaser was outside of the United States.

 

(iii)            The Purchaser realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Purchaser does not have any such intention.

 

(iv)            The Purchaser (A) agrees that it will not offer, sell or otherwise transfer any of the Purchased Shares, nor engage in hedging transactions involving such securities unless in compliance with the Securities Act, on or prior to the later of: (x) the date that is one year after the later of (1) the Closing Date and (2) the date of original issuance of the Purchased Shares (or of any predecessor security); and (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law; except in the following circumstances: (a) to the Company; (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act; (c) to a person the Purchaser reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another qualified institutional buyer, provided that (i) the Purchased Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) notice is given to such buyer that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A; (d) pursuant to offers and sales that comply with Regulation S under the Securities Act to persons who are not “U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S; (e) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (B) agrees to provide each transferee of such securities with written notice substantially to the effect of this paragraph (iv).

 

(v)            The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchased Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and subject to resale restrictions during the period set forth in Rule 144. The Purchaser will, after expiration of the Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom and, in accordance with all applicable state and foreign securities laws.

 

A-7 

 

 

(vi)            The Purchased Shares to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s or its designee’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person, directly or indirectly, to sell, transfer, distribute or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Purchased Shares. To the extent any Purchased Shares are to be issued in a designee’s name, all of the representations in this Section 3 are true with regard to such designee.

(vi)            Neither the Purchaser nor any person acting on his or her behalf has engaged, nor will engage, in any directed selling efforts to a U.S. Person with respect to the Shares and the Purchaser and any person acting on his or her behalf have complied and will comply with the “offering restrictions” requirements of Regulation S under the Securities Act.

(viii)          Neither the Purchaser nor any person acting on his or her behalf has undertaken or carried out any activity for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States, its territories or possessions, for any of the Shares.  The Purchaser agrees not to cause any advertisement of the Shares to be published in any newspaper or periodical or posted in any public place and not to issue any circular relating to the Shares, except such advertisements that include the statements required by Regulation S under the Securities Act, are made only offshore and not in the U.S. or its territories, and are made only in compliance with all applicable local securities laws.

 

(ix)            The Purchaser has carefully reviewed and completed the investor questionnaire annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

 

3.17           No General Solicitation, Advertisements, or Direct Selling Effort.  The Purchaser is not subscribing for the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or via the Internet, or presented at any seminar or meeting or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. The Purchaser has not acquired the Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S) in the United States in respect of any of the Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of any of the Shares; provided, however, that the Purchaser may sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares pursuant to registration of any of the Shares pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements and as otherwise provided herein.

3.18           Economic Considerations.  The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, or its affiliates or agents with respect to the economic, tax, legal, or other considerations involved in this investment.  The Purchaser has relied solely on its own advisors, including legal, tax, and financial advisors, in evaluating the merits and risks of this investment.

 

3.19           No Short Sales. The Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any short sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that the Purchaser was first contacted by the Company regarding the investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including short sales) from the execution of this Agreement until the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.

 

3.20           Due Diligence. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Purchased Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Purchased Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and the Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision.

3.21           Material Non-Public Information. The Purchaser covenants and agrees that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf has received any information from the Company that constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser has executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and the use of such information. The Purchaser understands and confirms that the Company shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

3.22           Compliance with Laws.  Any resale of the Shares during the “distribution compliance period” as defined in Rule 902(f) to Regulation S shall only be made in compliance with exemptions from registration afforded by Regulation S.  Further, any such sale of the Shares in any jurisdiction outside of the United States will be made in compliance with the securities laws of such jurisdiction.  The Purchaser will not offer to sell or sell the Shares in any jurisdiction unless the Purchaser obtains all required consents, if any.

 

3.23           No Minimum. The Purchaser understands that although there may be multiple Closings with other Purchasers, there might be no other Purchasers and that the funds that the Company receives from the undersigned Purchaser in connection with this Agreement might be the only funds that the Company receives from this placement. Such funds might not be sufficient to meet the Company’s funding needs in connection with the placement.

Nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

6.4             Indemnification.

 

(i) In consideration of each Purchaser’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Shares thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the other parties and all of their shareholders, officers, directors, and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (but only to the extent any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought or is otherwise directly subject to such claim), and including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by such party in any of the Transaction Documents, or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of such party contained in any of the Transaction Documents

 

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 6.4 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under this Section 6.4, deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Indemnifying Party if: (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above, the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Indemnifying Party and shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 6.4, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
