XMAX (XMAX) asks shareholders to OK 100M-share private and shelf issuances
XMAX Inc. is asking stockholders to approve two related proposals to permit the company to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock in each of (1) a private placement and (2) a registered direct offering under an effective Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-295406) at prices that may be below Nasdaq’s defined “Minimum Price.”
The proxy states there were 63,602,326 shares outstanding as of May 27, 2026. Each proposal would permit issuance in excess of 20% of outstanding shares and contemplates a maximum discount of up to 50% versus the closing price immediately prior to a binding agreement. The Board recommends a vote FOR both proposals and a vote to grant authority to adjourn to solicit additional proxies.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Board seeks flexibility to raise capital via large share issuances at discounts.
The filing requests shareholder approval to issue up to 100,000,000 shares in each of a private placement and a registered direct offering and discloses a potential maximum discount of 50%. The proposal references an effective Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-295406).
Key dependencies include final negotiated prices, the timing of any Securities Purchase Agreement, and listing approvals. Subsequent filings will show finalized pricing, purchaser identities, and the actual number of shares sold.
Shareholder votes are required because issuances may exceed 20% of outstanding shares below Nasdaq minimum price.
The proxy invokes Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), explaining that stockholder approval is required for issuances exceeding 20% of outstanding shares at a price below the Rule’s “Minimum Price.” The Record Date is May 27, 2026 and the Special Meeting is set for July 24, 2026.
The Board recommends voting FOR both proposals and seeks discretionary authority to adjourn to solicit more proxies; the outcome and purchaser identities will be disclosed in a Form 8-K after the meeting.

The Company has made these materials available to you on the Internet, and the Company has delivered printed proxy materials to you or sent them to you by e-mail. This proxy statement summarizes the information that you need to know in order to cast your vote at the Special Meeting.

The Special Meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m., local time, on July 24, 2026, at the Company’s corporate headquarters located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd, Commerce, California 90040.
What information is contained in this Proxy Statement?
This information relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting, the voting process, and certain other required information.
How do I vote?
Stockholders of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting or vote by proxy using the accompanying proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Special Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.
By Internet – stockholders may vote on the internet by logging on to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given.
By Telephone – stockholders may vote by calling 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free) with a touch tone telephone and following the recorded instructions.
By Mail – stockholders must request a paper copy of the proxy materials to receive a proxy card and follow the instructions given for mailing. A paper copy of the proxy materials may be obtained by logging onto www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given. To vote using the proxy card, simply print the proxy card, complete, sign and date it and return it promptly to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. In the alternative, the proxy card can be mailed directly to the Company: Umesh Patel, our Chairman of the Board, located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040. Our Board has selected Umesh Patel to serve as proxy.
If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. Telephone and Internet voting are available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on July 23, 2026.
In Person - stockholders may vote in person at the Special Meeting. To vote in person, come to the Special Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Special Meeting.
Shares of our common stock represented by proxies properly voted that are received by us and are not revoked will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein.
If instructions are not given, such proxies will be voted:
| ● | “FOR” the approval of, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the sale and issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a private placement offering at a price lower than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d); and | |
| ● | “FOR” the approval of, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the sale and issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a registered direct offering under an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-295406) at a price lower than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d); and | |
| ● | “FOR” the grant of discretionary authority to the Company’s Chairman of the Board to adjourn the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposals 1 and 2. |
Street Name Stockholders
If you hold your shares in “street name” through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of such shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote those shares at the meeting. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Special Meeting.
If you hold your shares in “street name” through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you can most conveniently vote by telephone, Internet or mail. Please review the voting instructions on your voting instruction form.
Your proxy is revocable at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting in any of the following three ways:
1. You may submit another properly completed proxy bearing a later date.
2. You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Umesh Patel, our Chairman of the Board, located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040.
3. You may attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. However, simply attending the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
It means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for each account for which you have received a set of proxy materials.
Who is soliciting my vote pursuant to this Proxy Statement?
Our Board is soliciting your vote at the Special Meeting. The cost of solicitation will be borne by us. Our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, fax, electronic transmission or other means of communication. We will not pay these directors and employees any additional compensation for these services. We will ask banks, brokerage firms, and other institutions, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principal, and to obtain authority to execute proxies, and will reimburse them for their expenses.
Who is entitled to vote?
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
How many shares are eligible to be voted?
As of the Record Date, we had 63,602,326 shares of common stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of our common stock will entitle its holder to one vote on each of the matters to be voted on at the Special Meeting.
What am I voting on?
You are voting on the following matters:
| 1. | To approve, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the sale and issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a private placement offering at a price lower than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Private Placement Issuance Proposal”); |
| 2. | To approve, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the sale and issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a registered direct offering under an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-295406) at a price lower than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Shelf Issuance Proposal”); |
| 3. | To approve a proposal to grant discretionary authority to the Company’s Chairman of the Board to adjourn the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposals 1 and 2. (“Adjournment”) |
How does the Board recommend that I vote?
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares as follows:
| ● | “FOR” the approval of, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the sale and issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a private placement offering at a price lower than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d); and | |
| ● | “FOR” the approval of, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the sale and issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in a registered direct offering under an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-295406) at a price lower than the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d); and | |
| ● | “FOR” the grant of discretionary authority to the Company’s Chairman of the Board to adjourn the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposals 1 and 2. |
None of our directors have informed us in writing that he or she intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by us at the Special Meeting.
How many votes are required to hold the Special Meeting and what are the voting procedures?
Quorum Requirement: As of the Record Date, 63,602,326 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding. The presence of at least one-third of all of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy, then you will be considered part of the quorum.
Required Votes: Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Special Meeting. If there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, the matters to be voted upon by the stockholders require the following votes for such matter to be approved:
| ● | Approval of the Private Placement Issuance Proposal: The affirmative vote of the holders of at least the majority of the voting power of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is necessary to approve the Private Placement Issuance Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. | |
| ● | Approval of the Shelf Issuance Proposal: The affirmative vote of the holders of at least the majority of the voting power of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is necessary to approve the Shelf Issuance Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. | |
| ● | Approval of the Adjournment: The affirmative vote of the holders of at least the majority of the voting power of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is necessary to approve the Adjournment. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. |
If a broker indicates on its proxy that it submits to the Company that it does not have authority to vote certain shares held in “street name,” the shares not voted are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur when brokers do not have discretionary voting authority to vote certain shares held in “street name” on particular proposals, and the “beneficial owner” of those shares has not instructed the broker how to vote on those proposals. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee is permitted to vote your shares for or against “routine” matters. Brokers are not permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your shares for or against “non-routine” matters.
How may a stockholder bring any other business before the Special Meeting?
The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that at the special meetings the only business which may be transacted is that relating to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice thereof, and, as such, stockholders shall not be permitted to propose other business at the Special Meeting.
Who is paying for the costs of this proxy solicitation?
The Company will bear the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the materials in connection with this solicitation of proxies. In addition to mailing these materials, directors, officers and employees of the Company may, without being additionally compensated, solicit proxies personally and by mail, telephone, facsimile or electronic communication.
Who will count the votes?
The inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting will receive and tabulate the ballots and voting instruction forms.
Where do I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?
The voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four (4) business days after the Special Meeting.
How can I obtain the Company’s corporate governance information?
Our corporate governance information is available on our website at www.xmax.com under “Investor Relations—Corporate Governance.” Our stockholders may also obtain written copies at no cost by writing to us at XMAX Inc, at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by calling (323) 888-9999.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.
Unless otherwise indicated, each of the stockholders named in the table below, or his or her family members, has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of our common stock. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each of the stockholders listed below is: c/o XMAX Inc., 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040.

PROPOSAL NO. 1— Private Placement Issuance
Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and, as such, we are subject to Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (“Rule 5635(d)”) requires us to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of our common stock in connection with a non-public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to entering into an agreement in connection with any such non-public offering.
We need to raise funds to support our new business development strategy to enter several high-growth AI segments, including AI software and hardware development, cloud and GPU compute infrastructure, AI model access and orchestration, and enterprise-focused AI agent deployment. We plan to enter into Securities Purchase Agreement (“Private Placement Agreement”) with certain investors, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act contained in Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulations S thereunder (the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Private Placement Agreement, we plan to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a market price below the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), a copy of Private Placement Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. We will need stockholder approval to issue stock in excess of 20% at a price below the “Minimum Price.” A “Minimum Price” means a price that is the lower of: (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. If approved, we believe we will be able to quickly complete the proposed Private Placement and obtain the capital necessary to fund our business and maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We hereby submit this Proposal No.1 to our stockholders for their approval of the potential issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Private Placement Agreement, subject to the following limitations:
| ● | The total aggregate amount of common stock to be issued in the private placement will not exceed 100,000,000 shares; | |
| ● | The maximum discount at which the shares will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of up to 50% of closing price of Common Stock listed on Nasdaq of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and investors; | |
| ● | Such other terms as the Board of Directors shall deem to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, not inconsistent with the foregoing. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not sell securities to any officers, directors, or employees of the Company in such offering.
The issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Private Placement Agreement would dilute, and thereby reduce, each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership in our common stock.
The Board of Directors has not yet determined the final terms and conditions of Private Placement. It is possible that if we conduct the private placement offering, some of the shares we sell could be purchased by one or more investors who could acquire a large block of our common stock. This would concentrate voting power in the hands of a few stockholders who could exercise greater influence on our operations or the outcome of matters put to a vote of stockholders in the future.
Required Vote
Approval of the Private Placement Issuance requires a quorum to be present and an affirmative vote of a majority of our common stock voted at the Special Meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. Adoption of the Private Placement Issuance is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.
Recommendation of Board of Directors
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE proposal No. 1 TO APPROVE THE Private Placement Issuance.
PROPOSAL NO. 2 – Shelf Issuance
Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and, as such, we are subject to Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (“Rule 5635(d)”) requires us to obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of our common stock in connection with a non-public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to entering into an agreement in connection with any such non-public offering.
We need to raise funds to support our new business development strategy to enter several high-growth AI segments, including AI software and hardware development, cloud and GPU compute infrastructure, AI model access and orchestration, and enterprise-focused AI agent deployment. We plan to enter into Securities Purchase Agreement (“Shelf Agreement”) with certain investors, pursuant to an effective registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-295406) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registered Direct Offering”). Pursuant to the Shelf Agreement, we plan to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a market price below the “Minimum Price” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), a copy of Shelf Agreement is attached hereto as Annex B. We will need stockholder approval to issue our shares of common stock in excess of 20% at a price below the “Minimum Price.” A “Minimum Price” means a price that is the lower of: (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. If approved, we believe we will be able to quickly complete the proposed Registered Direct Offering and obtain the capital necessary to fund our business and maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We hereby submit this Proposal No.2 to our stockholders for their approval of the potential issuance of shares of our common stock in Registered Direct Offering, subject to the following limitations:
| ● | The total aggregate amount of common stock to be issued in the Registered Direct Offering will not exceed 100,000,000 shares; | |
| ● | The maximum discount at which the shares will be offered will be equivalent to a discount of up to 50% of closing price of Common Stock listed on Nasdaq of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company and investors; | |
| ● | Such other terms as the Board of Directors shall deem to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, not inconsistent with the foregoing. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not sell securities to any officers, directors, or employees of the Company in such offering.
The issuance of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Shelf Agreement would dilute, and thereby reduce, each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership in our common stock.
The Board of Directors has not yet determined the final terms and conditions of the Registered Direct Offering. It is possible that if we conduct the Registered Direct Offering, some of the shares we sell could be purchased by one or more investors who could acquire a large block of our common stock. This would concentrate voting power in the hands of a few stockholders who could exercise greater influence on our operations or the outcome of matters put to a vote of stockholders in the future.
Recommendation of Board of Directors
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS APPROVED AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL NO. 2 TO APPROVE THE SHELF ISSUANCE.
OTHER MATTERS
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management does not know of any other matters that will be brought before the Special Meeting requiring action of the stockholders. However, if any other matters requiring the vote of the stockholders properly come before the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the proxies in accordance with the discretion of management. The persons designated as proxies will also have the right to approve any and all adjournments of the Special Meeting for any reason.
STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME ADDRESS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers, banks and other nominees) to implement a delivery procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple stockholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of the Proxy Statement and other proxy materials, unless the affected shareholder has provided contrary instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees. Under applicable law, if you consented or were deemed to have consented, your broker, bank or other intermediary may send only one copy of the Proxy Statement and other proxy materials to your address for all residents that own shares of the Company’s common stock in street name. If you wish to revoke your consent to householding, you must contact your broker, bank or other intermediary. If you are receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and other proxy materials, you may be able to request householding by contacting your broker, bank or other intermediary. If you received a householding mailing and you would like to have additional copies of proxy statement and proxy materials mailed to you or you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings, contact our Corporate Secretary, located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this Proxy Statement and proxy materials to any stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of those documents was delivered. If you wish to request copies free of charge of the Proxy Statement or other proxy materials, please send your request to XMAX Inc., at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040, Attention: Corporate Secretary or call the Company with your request at (323) 888-9999.

Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchasers, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as made of a specific date stated therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
(b) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of the Shares (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law.
(c) Foreign Investors. Such Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance by such Purchaser of the laws of its jurisdiction applicable to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Shares or the execution and delivery by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to the purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to such Purchaser’s purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Shares.

(d) Experience of the Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
| Page 7 |
(e) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(f) Regulation S. Such Purchaser is a non-U.S. person (as such term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act) and is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. Such Purchaser will not, within eighteen (18) months of the date of the transfer of the Shares to such Purchaser, (i) make any offers or sales of the Shares in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, a U.S. person (in each case, as defined in Regulation S) other than in accordance with Regulation S or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (ii) engage in hedging transactions with regard to the Shares unless in compliance with the Securities Act. Neither such Purchaser nor any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates or any person acting on his/her/its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Shares, and all such persons have complied and will comply with the offering restriction requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Shares outside of the United States. Such Purchaser further makes the representations and warranties to the Company set forth on Exhibit A.
(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first discussed the transaction with the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending on the date when this Agreement is publicly disclosed by the Company. Such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
(h) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(i) No Registration. Such Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or applicable securities laws of any state or country and therefore the Shares cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or exemptions from such registration requirements are available. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and any such registration shall be in the Company’s sole discretion.
(j) No General Solicitation.

Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such 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 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 Agreement 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. If any party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.14 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.15 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.
5.16 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock of the Company that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
