Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HWH International Inc. is informing stockholders that, by written consent on June 12, 2026, a majority holder approved a private investment in public equity (PIPE) and an amendment to its 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan. Under a Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 20,000,000 shares and warrants for 160,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.63 for aggregate proceeds of $10,000,000. Closing would make Smart Dynamics Technology Limited the holder of approximately 72.1% of common stock and, if warrants are exercised, approximately 96%, resulting in a change of control. The Board also approved a one-time 2,000,000-share increase to the 2025 Plan; total shares available under the plan post-amendment are 2,669,100. The PIPE proceeds are described as intended for general working capital and expansion, and the registration statement for resale is to be filed within 60 days of closing. The Information Statement states the transactions cannot be effective earlier than July 12, 2026, reflecting procedural waiting periods.

Insights

Large PIPE produces immediate cash but causes substantial dilution and a change of control.

The transaction raises $10,000,000 in exchange for 20,000,000 shares and warrants for 160,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.63. Pro forma figures in the filing show assets rising to $14,210,297 and equity to $12,078,220, improving stated liquidity.

Risks depend on warrant exercise and resale registration timing: if warrants are exercised, Smart Dynamics would hold ~96%, representing a de facto takeover and concentrated voting control. Subsequent filings will determine resale availability and practical market impact.

Transaction triggers Nasdaq approval rules and contains anti-dilution and board-appointment rights for the purchaser.

The agreement references Nasdaq Rules 5635(b)/(d)/(c); the Majority Stockholders provided written consent to satisfy shareholder-approval thresholds. The Purchaser gains the right to appoint three directors and anti-dilution protections for two years, and the Company must file a resale registration within 60 days of closing.

Key legal milestones are the Nasdaq compliance extension and the registration filing; both affect when resale can occur and when purchaser control becomes operational. Monitor Nasdaq determinations and the registration statement status in subsequent public filings.

PIPE financial
"the Company will sell (i) 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock and (ii) warrants"
A "pipe" is a planned series of financial transactions or projects that companies intend to carry out over time, often involving the raising of funds or development of new assets. It matters to investors because it provides a clear picture of a company's future growth plans and potential revenue, helping them assess the company's upcoming opportunities and overall stability. Think of it as a detailed roadmap guiding a company's future steps.

"for a period of two years from the closing in which the Company would not be able to sell new equity"
Resale registration regulatory
"the Company would be required to file a registration statement registering the 20,000,000 shares"
Resale registration is the formal filing with securities regulators that allows previously restricted or privately held shares to be sold publicly. Think of it as getting official permission to unlock and list a sealed package of stock so it can be traded openly; that matters to investors because it increases liquidity, can change the number of shares available on the market, and reduces legal risk for sellers, all of which can affect a company’s share price.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

HWH INTERNATIONAL INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “HWH,” “we,” or “us”), is distributing this information statement solely for purposes of informing our stockholders of record as of June 12, 2026 (the “Record Date”), in the manner required by Regulation 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), of the action taken by written consent by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, namely (i) Heng Fai Ambrose Chan, an individual; (ii) Alset Inc., a Texas corporation; (iii) Alset International Limited, a Singapore limited company; and (iv) Alset Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Majority Stockholders”) to approve the PIPE and the Plan Amendment.

 

What is the Purpose of the Information Statement?

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act to notify our stockholders of the corporate actions taken by the Majority Stockholders pursuant to the Written Consent.

 

Summary of the Corporate Actions

 

On May 27, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (as amended on June 8, 2026) with an outside investor, Smart Dynamics Technology Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company will sell (i) 20,000,000 (twenty million) shares of its Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 160,000,000 (one hundred sixty million) shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.63 per share, exercisable immediately and expiring on the fourth anniversary of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 (the “PIPE”). The exercise price of the warrants is adjustable in the event of stock dividends and splits.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement was made and entered into pursuant to the terms of a Term Sheet entered into by the Company and the Purchaser on May 5, 2026. The terms of such agreement were negotiated by the officers of each of the Company and the Purchaser. The aggregate purchase price for the PIPE is payable in immediately available funds of the Purchaser.

 

The offer and sale of the common stock, including the common stock underlying the warrants has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. The PIPE shares are issuable pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

 

The above description of the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto) and the Common Stock Purchase Warrant does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text each, copies of which are attached hereto as Annex A, Annex B, and Annex C to this Information Statement, respectively.

 

On June 12, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors received the written consent of the majority of the Company’s stockholders to adopt an amendment to the Company’s 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan to authorize a one-time increase of 2,000,000 shares to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock already issuable under the 2025 Plan, and to change the governing law of the 2025 Plan from the laws of the State of Delaware to the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

The above description of the terms of the Plan Amendment does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan Amendment a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex D to this Information Statement.

 

NASDAQ Rules

 

Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities resulting in a change of control.

 

NASDAQ Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock), which, alone or together with sales by officers, directors or substantial shareholders of the Company, equals 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance at a price less than the “Minimum Price,” defined as the lower of the closing price immediately prior to the execution of the binding agreement or the average closing price of the common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the execution of the binding agreement.

 

NASDAQ Rule 5635(c) requires stockholder approval to be obtained prior to the issuance of securities when any equity compensation arrangement is made or materially amended, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, or employees. Accordingly, the Company is required to have the approval of stockholders holding a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock in order to materially amend the 2025 Plan.

Voting and Vote Required

 

The Company is not seeking consents, authorizations or proxies from you. Under the NRS, the PIPE and the Plan Amendment may be approved without a meeting of stockholders, by a resolution of our Board of Directors, followed by the written consent of stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

 

Under the NRS and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Company stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the PIPE and the Plan Amendment.

 

Notice Pursuant to Section 14(c)

 

This Information Statement serves the purpose of informing stockholders of the matters described herein pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations prescribed thereunder.

 

Effective Date

 

Under applicable federal securities laws, the PIPE and the Plan Amendment cannot be effected until at least 20 calendar days following the date a Definitive Information Statement has been provided to our stockholders. A Definitive Information Statement cannot be furnished to our stockholders until ten days after the filing of a Preliminary Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as such the PIPE and the Plan Amendment could not become effective sooner than July 12, 2026.

 

THE PIPE

 

Purpose of the PIPE

 

The Company anticipates that the proceeds from this transaction will be for general working capital and permit the Company to expand its operations. The Company believes the financing will significantly strengthen the Company’s financial position and provide additional resources to support the Company’s growth strategy, operational initiatives and general working capital requirements.

 

Reason for Stockholder Approval

 

Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the Company.

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), if an issuer intends to issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, other than in a public offering, which may equal or exceed 20% of the outstanding common stock or voting power on a pre-transaction basis for less than the Minimum Price for such common stock, the issuer generally must obtain the prior approval of its stockholders.

 

The number of shares potentially issued and the pricing of the Company’s common stock be issued to the Purchaser in the PIPE exceeds the threshold and pricing for which stockholder approval is required under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), and would result in a change of control. To ensure compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) and Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), the Majority Stockholders approved the PIPE.

 

Approval

 

On June 12, 2026, the Majority Stockholders approved the terms and conditions of the PIPE including the execution and delivery of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

Effects of the PIPE on Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of $4,210,297 and total stockholders’ equity of $2,078,220. Assuming the PIPE financing had been completed on March 31, 2026 and before giving effect to transaction expenses, total assets would have increased to approximately $14,210,297 and total stockholders’ equity would have increased to approximately $12,078,220. Management believes that the proceeds from the financing will improve the Company’s liquidity position, support operational initiatives, and provide general working capital.

Effect of the PIPE on Existing Stockholders

 

The issuance of securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights of the Company’s existing stockholders, but such issuances will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders, including the voting power of the existing stockholders. Any exercise of the warrants would also have a dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders. The issuance of securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement will cause a change in control of the Company.

 

Change in Control and Other Consequences of the PIPE

 

Upon the issuance of the 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will own approximately 72.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, calculated based on 7,726,400 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Information Statement. 27,726,400 shares of the Company’s common stock would therefore be issued and outstanding following the issuance of the PIPE shares. Upon exercise of the Purchaser’s warrants to purchase 160,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Purchaser would own approximately 96% of the Company’s common stock, calculated based on 7,726,400 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Information Statement. The ownership position resulting from such issuance would make the Purchaser the Company’s largest holder of Common Stock, constituting a change of control under the Nasdaq listing rules. Such issuances and change of control requires that the Company obtain the approval of stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the transaction. The Company’s current majority stockholder, Alset Inc., beneficially owns 67.5% of the Company’s common stock as of the date of this Information Statement. Alset Inc. is beneficially owned by Chan Heng Fai, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who personally and through Alset Inc. and its subsidiaries, beneficially owns 80.5% of the Company’s common stock. Following the closing of the PIPE, Mr. Chan and Alset Inc. would beneficially own 22.4% and 18.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, respectively.

 

The issuance of 20,000,000 shares of common stock will significantly dilute the ownership interests and voting power of existing stockholders. Existing stockholders who collectively owned 100% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately prior to the closing of the PIPE will own approximately 27.9% of the outstanding common stock immediately afterward.

 

Upon the closing, the Purchaser will be given the right to appoint three directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to the conditions described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Following the closing of the PIPE, the size of the Company’s Board of Directors will therefore increase to eight.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain provisions which would, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated therein, grant the Purchaser anti-dilution rights for a period of two years from the closing in which the Company would not be able to sell new equity securities without the consent of the Purchaser, subject to certain exceptions as set forth therein. These provisions may restrict the Company’s ability to issue additional equity securities without the Purchaser’s consent and could limit the Company’s flexibility to pursue future financing transactions.

 

Further, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company would be required to file a registration statement registering the 20,000,000 shares issuable to the Purchaser, and the 160,000,0000 shares underlying the warrants, within sixty days of the closing. If the PIPE shares become available for resale, the market for the Company’s common stock could be significantly affected.

 

THE PLAN AMENDMENT

 

The Plan Amendment

 

On June 12, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors received the written consent of the majority of the Company’s stockholders to adopt an amendment to the Company’s 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan to authorize a one-time increase of 2,000,000 shares to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock already issuable under the 2025 Plan, and to change the governing law of the 2025 Plan from the laws of the State of Delaware to the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

As of January 1, 2026 the number of shares available under the plan had increased from 1,295,280 (the original amount issuable under the 2025 Plan) to 1,669,100 shares. This increase was automatically made as of the end of the year ended December 31, 2025 under Section 3(a) of the 2025 Plan, which states:

 

[…] on the first day of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten (10) years, commencing January 1, 2026, or the first business day of the calendar year if the first day of the calendar year falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Shares available under this Plan will automatically increase in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31 of the preceding fiscal year or (ii) such number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

3

 

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 7,476,400 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. As of the date of this information statement, the Company has issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock under the plan. The sum of the remaining available shares under the plan and the increase of available shares contemplated by the Plan Amendment is 2,669,100 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Plan Amendment adds the bolded text below to Section 3(a) of the 2025 Plan, which section is copied in its entirety below:

 

3. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

 

(a) The number of Shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to this Plan shall be twenty percent (20%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the adoption of this plan, or the equivalent of such number of Shares after the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction in accordance with Paragraph 24 of the Plan.

 

In addition, on the first day of each calendar year, for a period of not more than ten (10) years, commencing January 1, 2026, or the first business day of the calendar year if the first day of the calendar year falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Shares available under this Plan will automatically increase in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31 of the preceding fiscal year or (ii) such number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

Further, and in addition to the Shares available to be issued under the Plan described above, as of the effective date of this Amendment, an additional 2,000,000 Shares will become available under this Plan.

 

The Plan Amendment also replaces Delaware with Nevada in Section 33 of the 2025 Plan, as copied in its entirety below:

 

33. GOVERNING LAW.

 

This Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Nevada.

 

The preceding summary of the terms of the Plan Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan Amendment, a copy of which is included as Annex D to this information statement.

 

Purpose of the Plan Amendment

 

The purpose of the additional 2,000,000 shares is to provide the Company with sufficient shares to make equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company pursuant to the amended 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan, thereby supporting the Company’s ability to attract, retain, and incentivize key personnel.

 

The purpose of the change of the 2025 Plan’s governing law from the laws of the State of Delaware to the laws of the State of Nevada is in order to harmonize the plan with the Company’s reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada, which occurred on November 14, 2025.

 

Overview of the 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan

 

On October 10, 2025, our Board and Majority Shareholders approved and ratified the 2025 Plan, covering up to 1,295,280 shares of common stock. The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and our related corporations by enhancing the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified employees, consultants, officers, and directors, by creating incentives and rewards for their contributions to the success of the Company and its related corporations. The 2025 Plan is administered by our Board or by the Compensation Committee. The following awards may be granted under the 2025 Plan:

 

Options
Restricted Awards
Other Stock-Based Awards

The preceding summary of the terms of the 2025 Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2025 Plan, a copy of which is included as Annex A to the Company’s definitive information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 20, 2025. You also may obtain a copy of the 2025 Plan, as amended, free of charge, by writing to the Company, Attention: Corporate Secretary, 4800 Montgomery Lane Suite 210, Bethesda, MD 20814.

 

Reason for Stockholder Approval

 

NASDAQ Rule 5635(c) requires stockholder approval to be obtained prior to the issuance of securities when any equity compensation arrangement is made or materially amended, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, or employees. Accordingly, the Company is required to have the approval of stockholders holding a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock in order to materially amend the 2025 Plan.

 

Effective Date

 

In accordance with Exchange Act Rule 14c-2, the Plan Amendment will become effective no sooner than twenty (20) calendar days following the mailing of this Information Statement.

 

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

None of our officers and directors, nor any of their associates, has any interest in the actions approved by our stockholders and described in this Information Statement except in their capacity as holders of our Common Stock (which interest does not differ from that of the other holders of our Common Stock).

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS, MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS

 

The table below sets forth information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the Record Date for:

 

each person we believe beneficially holds more than 5% of our outstanding common shares (based solely on our review of SEC filings);
   
each of our “named executive officers” and directors; and
   
all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

 

The number of shares beneficially owned by a person includes shares issuable under options, warrants and other securities convertible into common stock held by that person and that are currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date. Percentage calculations assume, for each person and group, that all shares that may be acquired by such person or group pursuant to options, warrants and other convertible securities currently exercisable or that become exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date are outstanding. Nevertheless, shares of common stock that are issuable upon exercise of presently unexercised options, warrants and other convertible securities are not deemed to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the “Percentage of Shares Beneficially Owned” by any other person or any other group.

 

Except as otherwise indicated in the table or its footnotes, the persons in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.

 

As of the Record Date, we had 7,726,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

SEC Periodic Reports and Additional Information

 

The Company is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and in accordance with the Exchange Act, the Company files reports, documents and other information with the SEC. These reports and other information filed with the SEC by the Company may be inspected and are available for copying at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies may be obtained at prescribed rates from the Public Reference Section of the SEC at its principal office in Washington, D.C. The SEC also maintains an internet website that contains periodic and other reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants, including the Company, that file electronically with the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is http://www.sec.gov.

 

Copies of all documents we file with the SEC will be provided without charge to each stockholder as of the Record Date upon request.

Householding of Materials

 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

 

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our Information Statement may have been sent to multiple Company stockholders in each household unless otherwise instructed by such Company stockholders. We will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Information Statement to any Company stockholder upon written or oral request to our Corporate Secretary, at HWH International Inc., 4800 Montgomery Lane, Suite 210, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, telephone: (301) 971-3955. Any Company stockholder wishing to receive separate copies of our proxy statement or annual report to Company stockholders in the future, or any Company stockholder who is receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy per household, should contact the Company stockholder’s bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or the Company stockholder may contact us at the above address and phone number.

 

Distribution of the Information Statement

 

We will make arrangements with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries who are record holders of our common stock for the forwarding of this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock. We will reimburse these brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses they incur in connection with the forwarding of the Information Statement.

(b) Own Account. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).

 

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, or it will be, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

C-1

 

 

b)Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.63, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
   
c)Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
   
d)Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
   
e)No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
   
f)Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

 

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a)Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

C-2

 

 

b)Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all (or substantially all) of holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

 

c)Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation set forth herein on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

C-3

 

 

d)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice (unless such information is filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in which case a notice shall not be required) stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

C-4

 

 

b) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof, except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Including if the Company is for any reason unable to issue and deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant or cash settle in any other form. Nothing in this Section 5(a) shall limit the Holder’s rights to specific performance, injunctive relief, damages or any other remedy available at law or in equity in the event of a breach of this Warrant by the Company.

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

C-5

 

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

The Company shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any stockholder approval, Nasdaq approval or other regulatory consent necessary to permit full exercise of this Warrant when the Holder elects to do so.

 

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Maryland. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Maryland for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws. The Warrant Shares will not be registered at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC within 60 days of closing (Form S-3 if eligible, otherwise Form S-1) to register all the Warrant Shares for resale, as well as any other issued but unregistered shares of the Company outstanding at such date. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be effective within 90 days of filing, and maintain its effectiveness until all shares are freely tradable. The Holder agrees: (i) that Holder will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Warrants or Warrant Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Warrants or Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws; (ii) that the Company and its affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such Warrants or Warrant Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions; and (iii) that each certificate representing the Warrant Shares will bear a restrictive legend substantially in the following form:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR APPLICABLE EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM.”

 

C-6

 

 

g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 4800 Montgomery Lane, Suite 210, Bethesda, MD 20814, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, email address: ronald@alsetinternational.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

 

h) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

i) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

j) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

k) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand.

 

l) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

m) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

 

n) Event of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Warrant: (i) the failure of the Company to deliver Warrant Shares following a valid exercise, and (ii) the failure of the Company to reserve sufficient shares for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Holder shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief, damages, and any other remedies available at law or in equity.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Introduction

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of HWH International Inc. present the combination of the historical financial information of HWH International Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) and the adjustments to give effect for the sale of 20,000,000 common shares to Smart Dynamics Technology Limited (“the PIPE”). The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, combines the historical balance sheet of HWH International Inc. as of March 31, 2026 and the adjustments for the PIPE as of March 31, 2026, on a pro forma basis as if the PIPE, summarized below, had been closed on March 31, 2026.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 combines the historical statements of operations of HWH International Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the adjustments for the PIPE during the year ended December 31, 2025 on a pro forma basis as if the PIPE had been completed on January 1, 2025, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 combines the historical statements of operations of HWH International Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the adjustments for the PIPE during the three months ended March 31, 2026 on a pro forma basis as if the PIPE had been completed on January 1, 2026, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the PIPE occurred on the dates indicated.

 

Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited transaction accounting adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. The Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the PIPE based on information available to management at this time and that the transaction accounting adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

FAQ

What does the HWH (HWH) PIPE involve?

The PIPE sells 20,000,000 shares and warrants exercisable into 160,000,000 shares at $0.63 per share for a total subscription of $10,000,000. The agreement and warrants are attached as exhibits.

How would the PIPE affect ownership at HWH?

Upon issuance of the 20,000,000 PIPE shares, Smart Dynamics would own approximately 72.1%. If all warrants are exercised, it would own about 96%, representing a change of control under Nasdaq rules.

What approvals and filings are required for the HWH PIPE to become effective?

The filing states stockholder approval by majority holders and Nasdaq approvals are required; federal rules impose a procedural waiting period so the transaction could not be effective earlier than July 12, 2026.

What rights does the purchaser receive under the Securities Purchase Agreement?

The Purchaser gains the right to appoint three directors, two-year anti-dilution/consent protections over new equity issuance, and participation rights in future offerings proportional to ownership post-closing.
