RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, and in our other SEC filings incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and in any amendment or update thereto reflected in our subsequent filings with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein, including in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. The risks so described are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations and become material. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The discussion of risks includes or refers to forward-looking statements; you should read the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on such forward-looking statements discussed elsewhere in this prospectus supplement under the caption “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Risks Related to this Offering
Since we have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and for other general corporate purposes, which include operating expenses, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, business development activities, and other strategic initiatives in line with the Company’s growth plans. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used in ways with which you would agree. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield us a favorable, or any, return. The failure of our management to use the net proceeds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
Investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution from the public offering price.
Because the offering price of the Class A Ordinary Shares being offered is higher than the book value per Class A Ordinary Share, you will suffer immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of the Class A Ordinary Shares you purchase in this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 166,666,667 Class A Ordinary Shares are sold during the term of the Sales Agreement, at a price of $0.6 per share (the reported sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 23, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $100,000,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $0.06 per share, with respect to the net tangible book value of the Class A Ordinary Shares. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in this offering.
The actual number of Class A Ordinary Shares we will sell under the Sales Agreement, as well as the price at which we may sell such Class A Ordinary Shares, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement, and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver placement notices to A.G.P. at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares that are sold by A.G.P. after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares during the sales period and limits, we set with A.G.P. In addition, the price at which Class A Ordinary Shares are sold by A.G.P., from time to time, will be dependent on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and, as a result, purchasers of our Class A Ordinary Shares that are sold under the Sales Agreement may purchase such Class A Ordinary Shares at different prices.
A substantial number of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be sold in this offering and we may sell or issue additional Ordinary Shares in the future, which could cause the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.
Assuming we will sell an aggregate of 166,666,667 Class A Ordinary Shares during the term of the Sales Agreement with A.G.P., which will equal approximately 249.78% of our outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares as of October 28, 2025. This sale and any future issuances or sales of a substantial number of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares in the public market or otherwise, or the perception that such issuances or sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
We may need additional financing in the future. We may be unable to obtain additional financing or if we obtain financing it may not be on terms favorable to us. You may lose your entire investment.
Based on our current plans, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, along with cash generated from this offering, will be sufficient to fund our operating expense and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this prospectus supplement, although there is no assurance of this and we may need additional funds in the future. If our capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we will have to raise additional funds. We may be unable to obtain additional funds through financing activities, and if we obtain financing it may not be on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional funds on terms favorable to us, we may be required to cease or reduce our operating activities. If we must cease or reduce our operating activities, you may lose your entire investment.

The price of the Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile.
The market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares has fluctuated in the past. Consequently, the current market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of future market prices, and we may be unable to sustain or increase the value of your investment in the Class A Ordinary Shares.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have no plan to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future on our Ordinary Shares. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
The Class A Ordinary Shares offered hereby will be sold in “at the market” offerings, and investors who buy the shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand and the terms of the Sales Agreement, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no predetermined minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
On July 11, 2025, we received a written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as our closing bid price for our Class A Ordinary Shares was below $1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been granted a 180-calendar day compliance period, or until January 7, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. During the compliance period, our Class A Ordinary Shares will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Class A Ordinary Shares must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days during the 180-calendar day compliance period.
If we are not in compliance by January 7, 2026, we may be afforded a second 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional time, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that our Class A Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting.
We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our Class A Ordinary Shares between now and January 7, 2026, and will consider available options to resolve our noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement as may be necessary. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or that we will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell our Class A Ordinary Shares having an aggregate sales price of up to $100,000,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which include operating expenses, capital expenditures, potential acquisitions, business development activities, and other strategic initiatives in line with the Company’s growth plans. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, and we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the net proceeds from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. We have no current commitments or binding agreements with respect to any material acquisition of or investment in any technologies, products or companies.
Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we may invest the net proceeds of this offering in a variety of capital preservation investments, including but not limited to short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments.
DIVIDEND POLICY
On July 31, 2020, the Board of the Company declared a special cash dividend of $0.015 per ordinary shares. The dividend, equal to $375,000 in the aggregate, was fully paid on August 17, 2020. We have no plan to declare or pay any dividends in the near future on our Ordinary Shares. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business.
Our board of directors has discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, subject to the provisions in our articles of association, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency, and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.
We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We have not received and do not have any present plan to receive dividends paid by our subsidiaries, but we have discretion as to whether such dividends are paid, subject to applicable statutory and contractual restrictions.
DILUTION
If you invest in our Class A Ordinary Shares, you will experience immediate dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price of the Class A Ordinary Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share immediately after the offering.
Our net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the actual number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares. The net tangible book value of our Class A Ordinary Shares as of March 31,2025 was approximately $0.43 per share. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by 66,724,675, the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
After giving effect to the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares during the term of the Sales Agreement with A.G.P. in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $0.6 per Class A Ordinary Share, the reported sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 23, 2025, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $36.70 million, or $0.55 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $8 million or $0.12 per Ordinary Share as a result of this offering and an immediate dilution of approximately $0.06 per Class A Ordinary Share to investors purchasing Class A Ordinary Shares in this offering.
| S-7 |
| Table of Contents |
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per Class A Ordinary Share basis. The as adjusted information is illustrative only and will adjust based on the actual prices to the public, the actual number of Class A Ordinary Shares sold, and other terms of the offering determined at the times our Class A Ordinary Shares are sold pursuant to this prospectus. The Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices.

The above discussion and table are based on 66,724,675 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025. To the extent that we grant additional options or other awards under our stock incentive plan or issue additional warrants, or we issue additional Ordinary Shares in the future, there may be further dilution.
In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current and future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to the holders of our Ordinary Shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into the Sales Agreement with A.G.P. under which we may issue and sell Class A Ordinary Shares from time to time in an amount up to $100,000,000 through or to A.G.P., acting as sales agent or principal. Sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement will be made at market prices by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on Nasdaq, on any other existing trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares or to or through a market maker, in negotiated transactions at market prices, and/or any other methods permitted by law. If we and A.G.P. agree on any method of distribution other than sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares on or through Nasdaq or another existing trading market in the United States at market prices, we will file an additional prospectus supplement to provide information about any such methods of distribution as required by Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.
Each time that we wish to issue and sell our Class A Ordinary Shares under the Sales Agreement, we will provide A.G.P. with a placement notice describing the amount of Class A Ordinary Shares to be sold, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the amount of Class A Ordinary Shares that may be sold in any single day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made or any minimum price requested for sales in a given time period and any other instructions relevant to such requested sales. Upon receipt of a placement notice, A.G.P., acting as our sales agent, will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, to sell our Class A Ordinary Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions of the placement notice and the Sales Agreement. We or A.G.P. may suspend the offering of Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to a placement notice upon notice and subject to other conditions.
Unless the parties agree otherwise, settlement for sales of Class A Ordinary Shares will occur on the first trading day following the date on which any sales are made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There are no arrangements to place any of the proceeds of this offering in an escrow, trust or similar account. Sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means as we and A.G.P. may agree upon.
Because there are no minimum sale requirements as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering price, commissions and net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The actual dollar amount and number of Class A Ordinary Shares we sell through this prospectus supplement will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and our capital raising requirements.
We will report at least every six months the number of our Class A Ordinary Shares sold through A.G.P. under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to A.G.P. in connection with the sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares under the Sales Agreement.
In connection with the sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares on our behalf, A.G.P. will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of A.G.P. will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to A.G.P. against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
A.G.P. will not engage in any market making activities involving our Class A Ordinary Shares while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement if such activity would be prohibited under Regulation M or other anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Act. As our sales agent, A.G.P. will not engage in any transactions that stabilizes our Class A Ordinary Shares.

We may terminate the Sales Agreement in our sole discretion at any time by giving three (3) days’ prior notice to A.G.P. A.G.P. may terminate the Sales Agreement under the circumstances specified in the Sales Agreement and in its sole discretion at any time by giving three (3) days’ prior notice to us.

This prospectus supplement in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by A.G.P., and A.G.P. may distribute this prospectus supplement electronically.
Fees and Expenses
We will pay A.G.P. commissions for its services in acting as our sales agent in the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. A.G.P. will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.50% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares on our behalf pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We have agreed to reimburse A.G.P. for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its legal counsel) in an amount not to exceed $50,000 and for A.G.P.’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related to semi-annually maintenance of the Sales Agreement (including but not limited to the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its legal counsel) on a semi-annually basis in an amount not to exceed $2,500.
We estimate that the total expenses for this offering, excluding compensation payable to A.G.P. and certain expenses reimbursable to A.G.P. under the terms of the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $30,000. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such Ordinary Share.
Regulation M
In connection with the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares on our behalf, A.G.P. will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of A.G.P. will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

OUR BUSINESS
History and Development of the Company
We were formed under the name of “Happiness Biotech Group Limited” on February 9, 2018, under the laws of the Cayman Islands. In October 2022, we changed the name from “Happiness Biotech Group Limited” to “Happiness Development Group Limited”. In March 2023, our registered name was changed to “Paranovus Entertainment Technology Ltd.”
Our registered office is at Harnes Fiduciary (Cayman) Limited, with its offices located at 4th Floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, P.O. Box 10240, Grand Cayman, KY1-1002M Cayman Islands. Our principal executive offices are located at No. 11, Dongjiao East Road, Shuangxi, Shunchang, Nanping City, Fujian Province, People’s Republic of China. Our telephone number at that address is + 86-0599-782-8808. Our company website is https://pavs.ai/.
Paranovus is the sole shareholder of Happiness Hong Kong, incorporated in Hong Kong on March 5, 2018, which is the sole shareholder of Happiness E-Commerce. Happiness E-Commerce was incorporated on June 1, 2018 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Happiness Hong Kong and a wholly foreign-owned entity under the PRC laws. Neither Paranovus, Happiness Hong Kong nor Happiness E-Commerce is currently engaged in any active business other than acting as holding companies. Our operation is conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, 2Lab3, in the U.S. We used to conduct our business mainly through Fujian Happiness, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Happiness E-Commerce and incorporated on November 19, 2004 under the PRC laws. Fujian Happiness holds all of the equity or ownership of Shunchang Happiness Nutraceutical Co., Ltd (“Shunchang Happiness”). Through Fujian Happiness and Shunchang Happiness, the Company was a biotech company that specializes in research, development, production and selling of nutraceutical and dietary supplements made of Ganoderma spore powder and others mainly in China. As discussed below, in August 2023, the Company has sold its nutraceutical and dietary supplements business to a non-affiliated third party, as a result, Fujian Happiness and Shunchang Happiness are no longer subsidiaries of the Company.

On October 25, 2019, our ordinary shares commenced trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “HAPP.”
On July 17, 2020, Happy Buy (Fujian) Internet Technology Co., Limited, or “Happy Buy”, was incorporated under the laws of People’s Republic of China and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Happiness E-Commerce. Happy Buy was incorporated in order to develop our e-commerce business. Our e-commerce business focuses on providing e-commerce solutions and services for small and medium-sized enterprises. Our mission for the e-commerce business is to enable small and medium-sized enterprises to fully leverage the power of e-commerce to grow rapidly.
On April 27, 2021, Taochejun (Fujian) Auto Sales Co., Limited, “Taochejun”, was incorporated under the laws of People’s Republic of China and 51% of it is owned by Happiness E-Commerce. We launched this B2B (Business-to-Business) platform for sales of automobiles. Our automobile sales business was formerly under the brand name of “Happy Auto”, and was rebranded to “Taochejun” in June 2021. Taochejun mainly focuses on building a network among car dealers in China to offer better overall sales experience and services to purchasers, and to streamline the automotive industry transaction. China is one of the world’s largest automobile markets, both in terms of demand and supply. Through Taochejun, we plan to utilize our dealer network to distribute the inventories and used cars from large 4S stores, online car hailing platforms and car makers to third and fourth tier cities, which serves as a great solution to the over-supply issues in first tier cities. Meanwhile, new energy vehicles will also be one of Taochejun’s focuses. At present, electric vehicles are mostly concentrated in the first tier cities. In the future, we believe that new energy vehicles will start to popularize in lower tier cities and car makers will spend more resources on developing these markets.
On October 14, 2021, Paranovus and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fujian Happiness, acquired 70% of the equity interest in Fujian Shennong Jiagu Development Co., Ltd. (“Shennong”) to further strengthen the Company’s industrial integration. The acquisition of Fujian Shennong closed on November 22, 2021. On March 4, 2022, Paranovus and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fujian Happiness, acquired 100% of the equity interest in Fuzhou Hekangyuan Trading Co., Ltd. (“Hekangyuan”) to further strengthen the distribution network of the Company.
On March 10, 2023, the Company’s shareholders have approved, via a special resolution, to change our name to “Paranovus Entertainment Technology Ltd.” and the trading symbol to “PAVS”, effective on March 14, 2023, to better reflect the Company’s multiple business lines.
On March 14, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Acquisition SPA”) with (i) 2lab3, a Delaware limited liability company; and (ii) the sole member of 2lab3 (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Acquisition SPA, the Company agreed to purchase all the membership interests of 2lab3 from the Seller, and, in exchange, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 1,375,000 Class A ordinary share to the Seller and/or his designees. The parties to the Acquisition SPA agreed that valuation of 2lab3 was approximately $6 million. The Class A ordinary shares were issued at a per share price of $4.4, which is equal to the volume-weighted average price of the past five-day of the ordinary shares. On March 28, 2023, the Company closed this acquisition.
On April 10, 2023, Happiness Shunchang, Fujian Happiness and Fujian Hengda Beverage Co., Ltd. (“Fujian Hengda”) entered into certain share purchase agreement (the “Disposition SPA”). Pursuant to the Disposition SPA, Fujian Hengda agreed to purchase the Fujian Happiness from Happiness Shunchang in exchange for cash consideration of RMB 78 million (approximately $11.3 million). This transaction was closed on August 7, 2023. Upon closing, Fujian Hengda became the sole shareholder of Fujian Happiness and, as a result, assumed all assets and liabilities of Fujian Happiness and subsidiaries owned or controlled by Fujian Happiness.
On September 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved suspension of the Company’s e-commerce and internet information and advertising business conducted through the Company’s indirect subsidiary Happy Buy (Fujian) Internet Technology Co., Limited. As of March 31, 2023, the e-commerce and internet information and advertising business incurred loss of approximately $21.42 million comparing to loss of approximate $7.60 million as of March 31, 2022. Due to the lingering adverse impacts of COVID-19 and sluggish macro-economic condition in China, the management does not expect short-term turn-over of these businesses and therefore the Board decided to suspend these loss-incurring businesses. After disposition of its nutraceutical and dietary supplements business in August 2023 and suspension of the e-commerce and internet information and advertising business expected in September 2023, the Company’s only remaining operating business based in China is the automobile sales business, a B2B business committed to optimizing the auto supply chain by connecting car dealers via an online automobile sales platform and offering overall services for automobile purchasing.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as described in any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under this prospectus to fund the development and commercialization of our projects and the growth of our business, primarily working capital, and for general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in technologies, products and/or businesses that we believe will enhance the value of our Company, although we have no current commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions as of the date of this prospectus. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for the foregoing purposes. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of the securities. If a material part of the net proceeds is to be used to repay indebtedness, we will set forth the interest rate and maturity of such indebtedness in a prospectus supplement. Pending use of the net proceeds will be deposited in interest bearing bank accounts.

Ordinary Shares
As of the date of this prospectus, there were 6,724,675 Class A Ordinary Shares and 612,255 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, held of record by 14 shareholders.
The holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our board of directors (the “Board”). In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors.
On July 31, 2020, our Board declared a special cash dividend of $0.015 per Ordinary Shares, payable to our shareholders of record as of August 10, 2020. The dividend, equal to $375,000 in the aggregate, was paid on August 17, 2020. Except for the aforementioned, the Company has not made any dividend distribution to its shareholders, and the Company’s subsidiaries did not make any dividend or distribution to the Company.
While any future dividends will be determined by our directors after consideration of the earnings, financial condition, and other relevant factors, it is currently expected that available cash resources will be utilized in connection with our ongoing operations.
Each outstanding Ordinary Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters. Our M&A provide that elections for directors shall be by a plurality of votes. Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any shares, every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each share of which he or the person represented by proxy is the holder. All votes at meetings of members shall be by way of poll. In addition, all shareholders holding shares of a particular class are entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of that class of shares. Votes may be given either personally or by proxy.
Transfer of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the M&A, any member may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the NASDAQ or in any other form approved by the Board and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or a central depository house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time. Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason, refuse to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or upon which our company has a lien. Our directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless (a) a fee of such maximum sum as the NASDAQ may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as the Board may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof; (b) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares; (c) the instrument of transfer is lodged at the Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Law or the Registration Office (as the case may be) accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); and (d) if applicable, the instrument of transfer is duly and properly stamped.
If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within one months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. The registration of transfers may, on fourteen (14) days’ notice being given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other newspapers or by any other means in accordance with the requirements of the NASDAQ to that effect, be suspended at such times and for such periods (not exceeding in the whole thirty (30) calendar days in any year) as our directors may determine.

Winding-Up/Liquidation
If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the M&A and any other sanction required by the Companies Act (As revised) of the Cayman Islands (“Cayman Companies Law”), pass a special resolution voluntarily winding up the company. Upon being appointed, a liquidator may do either or both of the following with the authority of a special resolution:
(a) divide in specie among the shareholders the whole or any part of our assets and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders; and
(b) vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of shareholders as the liquidator thinks fit.
The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on our behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.
Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares
Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid on the specified time are subject to forfeiture.
Redemption of Shares
We may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by our Board of Directors.
Inspection of Books and Records
The accounting records shall be kept at the office or, at such other place or places as the board decides and shall always be open to inspection by the directors. No member, non-director, shall have any right of inspecting any accounting record or book or document of the company except as conferred by the law or authorized by the board or the members in general meeting.
Issuance of Additional Shares
Our M&A authorize our board of directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our Board of Directors shall determine, to the extent there are available authorized but unissued shares.
Our M&A also authorizes our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, subject to compliance with the variation of rights of shares provision in the M&A, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:
|
| ● | the designation of the series; |
|
| ● | the number of shares of the series; |
|
| ● | the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and |

General Meetings of Shareholders and Shareholder Proposals
As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by the Cayman Companies Law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings; however, our articles provide that the Company shall hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting in each year other than the year in which the Articles are adopted. Any annual general meeting held shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our board of directors. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.
The directors may convene general meetings whenever they think fit. Upon the written request of shareholders holding 20% or more of the issued share capital of the Company carrying the right to vote in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requisitioned, any one or more of the directors shall forthwith proceed to convene a meeting of shareholders. The written request of shareholders to requisition a meeting must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the shareholders requisitioning the meeting. The written request must be lodged at the principal place of business of the Company (with a copy to the registered office) and may be delivered in counterpart. If our board of directors do not within 21 calendar days, proceed to convene a meeting of shareholders within a further 21 days, the requisitionists, or any of them together holding at least half of the total voting rights of all of them may convene the general meeting but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months after the expiration of the second 21 calendar days.
At least ten (10) clear days’ notice of a meeting shall be given to shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting where such meeting is convened by the directors.
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law, a general meeting may be convened on shorter notice, if
|
| (a) | In the case of an annual general meeting, by all the members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and |
|
| (b) | In the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the members having the right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority together holding not less than ninety-five per cent (95%) in nominal value of the issued shares giving that right. |
The presence of one or more shareholders entitled to vote, whether in person or represented by proxy or (if a corporation) by its duly appointed representative representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in the Company throughout the meeting, shall constitute a quorum at a general meeting.
If, within 30 minutes (or such longer time not exceeding one hour as the chairman of the meeting may determine to wait) from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other time and place as is determined by the directors and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting the meeting shall be dissolved.
The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for fourteen days or more, at least seven (7) clear days’ notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given specifying the time and place of the adjourned meeting but it shall not be necessary to specify in such notice the nature of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting.
At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided by poll by the affirmative vote of the majority of issued shares held by persons present in person or by proxy at the meeting entitled to vote and each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each fully paid share held. A declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or not carried by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect made in the minute book of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded for or against the resolution.
In the case of an equality of votes, on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at shall be entitled to a second or casting vote in addition to any other votes he may have.

Register of Members
Under Cayman Companies Law, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:
|
| ● | the names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member; |
|
|
|
|
|
| ● | the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and |
|
|
|
|
|
| ● | the date on which any person ceased to be a member. |
Under Cayman Companies Law, the register of members of our Company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members are deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.
If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in, or omitted from, our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of our Company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of our Company or our Company itself) may apply to the Cayman Islands Grand Court for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.
Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s M&A may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our M&A require us to indemnify our officers and directors for actions, costs, charges, losses, damages, and expenses (“Indemnified Losses”) incurred in their capacities as such unless such Indemnified Losses arise from dishonesty or fraud of such directors or officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Preferred Shares
Our M&A also authorizes our Board to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, subject to compliance with the variation of rights of shares provision in the M&A, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:
|
| ● | the designation of the series; |
|
| ● | the number of shares of the series; |
|
| ● | the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and |
|
| ● | the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences. |
Our Board may, issue preferred shares without action by our shareholders to the extent there are authorized but unissued shares available.
| 13 |
| Table of Contents |
You should refer to the prospectus supplement relating to the series of preferred shares being offered for the specific terms of that series, including:
|
| ● | title of the series and the number of shares in the series; |
|
| ● | the price at which the preferred shares will be offered; |
|
| ● | the dividend rate or rates or method of calculating the rates, the dates on which the dividends will be payable, whether or not dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends on the preferred shares being offered will cumulate; |
|
| ● | the voting rights, if any, of the holders of preferred shares being offered; |
|
| ● | the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, and the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred shares being offered, including any restrictions on the foregoing as a result of arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments; |
|
| ● | the liquidation preference per share; |
|
| ● | the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred shares being offered will be convertible into our Ordinary Shares, including the conversion price, or the manner of calculating the conversion price, and the conversion period; |
|
| ● | the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred shares being offered will be exchangeable for debt securities, including the exchange price, or the manner of calculating the exchange price, and the exchange period; |
|
| ● | any listing of the preferred shares being offered on any securities exchange; |
|
| ● | a discussion of any material federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred shares being offered; |
|
| ● | any preemptive rights; |
|
| ● | the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred shares being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; |
|
| ● | any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred shares ranking senior or equal to the series of preferred shares being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; and |
|
| ● | any additional rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the series. |
Upon issuance, the preferred shares will be fully paid and nonassessable, which means that its holders will have paid their purchase price in full and we may not require them to pay additional funds.
Any preferred share terms selected by the Board could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of our Ordinary Shares or adversely affect the rights and power, including voting rights, of the holders of our Ordinary Shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred shares that may be issued by us in the future. The issuance of preferred shares could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult.

Description of Debt Securities
As used in this prospectus, the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt securities. We may also issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein as an Indenture) will be entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued under an Indenture.
The Indenture or forms of Indentures, if any, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
As you read this section, please remember that for each series of debt securities, the specific terms of your debt security as described in the applicable prospectus supplement will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in the summary below. The statement we make in this section may not apply to your debt security.
Events of Default Under the Indenture
Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:
|
| ● | if we fail to pay the principal or premium, if any, when due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase or otherwise; |
|
| ● | if we fail to pay interest when due and payable and our failure continues for certain days; |
|
| ● | if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the Securities of a Series or in this Indenture, and our failure continues for certain days after we receive written notice from the trustee or holders of at least certain percentage in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series. The written notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”; |
|
| ● | if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur; and |
|
| ● | if any other event of default provided with respect to securities of that series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate as defined in the Form of Indenture. |
We covenant in the Form of Indenture to deliver a certificate to the trustee annually, within certain days after the close of the fiscal year, to show that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture and that we have not defaulted under the indenture.
Nonetheless, if we issue debt securities, the terms of the debt securities and the final form of indenture will be provided in a prospectus supplement. Please refer to the prospectus supplement and the form of indenture attached thereto for the terms and conditions of the offered debt securities. The terms and conditions may or may not include whether or not we must furnish periodic evidence showing that an event of default does not exist or that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture.
The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the Indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indentures (and any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under each Indenture) and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.

| Table of Contents |
General
Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct secured or unsecured obligations of our company. The senior debt securities will rank equally with any of our other unsecured senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness.
We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in ranking.
Should an indenture relate to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the senior indebtedness issued under an Indenture.

| ● | if the principal amount payable at the stated maturity of any debt security of the series will not be determinable as of any one or more dates prior to the stated maturity, the amount which shall be deemed to be the principal amount of such debt securities as of any such date for any purpose, including the principal amount thereof which shall be due and payable upon any maturity other than the stated maturity or which shall be deemed to be outstanding as of any date prior to the stated maturity (or, in any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal amount shall be determined); and |

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Holders of the debt securities may present registered debt securities for exchange or transfer in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as limited by the applicable Indenture, we will provide these services without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the exchange or transfer.
Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate as specified in the prospectus supplement. In addition, if specified in the prospectus supplement, we may sell debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate, or at a discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any special federal income tax considerations applicable to these discounted debt securities.
We may issue debt securities with the principal amount payable on any principal payment date, or the amount of interest payable on any interest payment date, to be determined by referring to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such debt securities may receive a principal amount on any principal payment date, or interest payments on any interest payment date, that are greater or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value on such dates of applicable currency, commodity, equity index or other factors. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information as to how we will determine the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, as well as the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on that date relates and certain additional tax considerations.

Description of Warrants
We may issue warrants to purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to this prospectus or any combination of the foregoing and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe in particular the terms of any series of warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.
We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of the warrant and/or warrant agreement, if any, which may include a form of warrant certificate, as applicable that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we may offer before the issuance of the related series of warrants. We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement that we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any registered holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of warrant and/or warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, that contain the terms of the warrants.
The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:
|
| ● | the title of the warrants; |

Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the number of Ordinary Shares or preferred shares of the relevant class or series at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares of the relevant class or series, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares purchasable upon exercise, including the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares purchasable upon exercise, if any.

Description of Rights
We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.
The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:
|
| ● | the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
|
| ● | the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights; |
|
| ● | the exercise price; |
|
| ● | the conditions to completion of the rights offering; |
|
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and |
|
| ● | any applicable federal income tax considerations. |
Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.
If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Description of Units
The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers.

Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our Ordinary Shares, all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
General Information
Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws that provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the securities laws of the United States. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.
All of our assets are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and officers are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our directors and officers, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
| 26 |
| Table of Contents |
According to our local Cayman Islands’ counsel, there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relating to whether a judgment obtained from the United States or Hong Kong courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands’ company. The courts of the Cayman Islands in the past determined that disgorgement proceedings brought at the instance of the Securities and Exchange Commission are penal or punitive in nature and such judgments would not be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. Other civil liability provisions of the securities laws may be characterized as remedial, and therefore enforceable but the Cayman Islands’ Courts have not yet ruled in this regard. Our Cayman Islands’ counsel has further advised us that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a sum of money is payable other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in the courts of the Cayman Islands.
As of the date hereof, no treaty or other form of reciprocity exists between the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong governing the recognition and enforcement of judgments.
Cayman Islands’ counsel further advised that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States or Hong Kong, a judgment obtained in such jurisdictions will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (1) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (2) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (3) is final, (4) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, and (5) was not obtained in a manner and is of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
