Filing Explained

The agreement is signed, but the planned Maison AI venture remains pre-closing: incorporation, required consents and the shareholders agreement are outstanding conditions, and that agreement is not yet effective; AZLL’s stated 90.09% control would arise only after closing.

Formation, Subscription and Software Contribution Agreement regulatory
"entered into a Formation, Subscription and Software Contribution Agreement"
perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license financial
"will retain a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the Software"
cash consideration financial
"will subscribe for 11 ordinary shares...for cash consideration of US$110,000 each"
Cash consideration is the actual money paid to buy a company, asset, or stake rather than payment in shares or other forms. For investors it matters because cash payments deliver immediate, certain value and affect the buyer’s and seller’s cash reserves and balance sheets—like selling a car for cash versus taking a trade-in, one side gets instant spending power while the other changes its liquidity and risk profile.
customary conditions regulatory
"The Closing is subject to customary conditions, including incorporation"
shareholders agreement regulatory
"execution at Closing of an agreed form of shareholders agreement"
A shareholders agreement is a written contract among a company's owners that sets out their rights, responsibilities and rules for running the business and selling shares. It matters to investors because it clarifies who makes decisions, how shares can be bought or sold, and how disputes are handled—like house rules among roommates that prevent fights and ensure everyone knows how to leave or change the arrangement without shocking the others.
