Insights
Large Class B grant significantly concentrates voting power with the founder.
The issuance of 10,500,000 Class B shares to CEO Terence Zou, each with 10 votes, raises his beneficial ownership to 30,177,175 Class B shares. Based on 180,226,306 Ordinary Shares outstanding, this corresponds to about 16.74% of share capital but about 66.79% of aggregate voting power.
This dual-class structure means Mr. Zou can effectively control most shareholder votes despite a smaller economic stake, which can support long-term strategic continuity but also reduces the influence of other shareholders. The grant is tied to specific financing milestones, linking control to prior capital-raising achievements rather than ongoing operating performance.
