Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On April 30, 2025, we reported that the Company sold an aggregate of an aggregate of 724,372 shares (the “Shares”) of its Common Stock to 15 Non-U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the Shares was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation S thereunder (“Regulation S”). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of a little more than $436,000 for the Shares (the “April Offering”). The April Offering was conducted pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with each investor, who also entered into a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement, pursuant to which each purchaser agreed to transfer all of his/her voting rights to Eugene Jiang, the Company’s chairman for the maximum time permitted by law.

 

Between May 9, 2025 and May 13, 2025, the Company accepted subscriptions from an additional 7 Non-U.S. Persons on the same terms and conditions as the April Offering (the “Additional Subscriptions”). Pursuant to the Additional Subscriptions, the Company shall issue an aggregate of 306,041 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $183,625.

 

The sale of Shares was made pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered into by the Company and the purchasers thereof. The Company relied, in part, upon representations from the purchasers in the purchase agreements that each purchaser was an accredited investor (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) and a Non-U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act).

 

None of the securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to a U.S. person or through a U.S. stock exchange for a period of one year and only once a full registration statement is and cleared by the Securities Exchange Commission. The purchasers are all at arms length with respect to any one related to the Company under the definition of affiliates. The sale of the securities did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or general advertising.

 

Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor any exhibit attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities described herein. Such disclosure does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sales of the Company’s securities in any state in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities mentioned herein have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
