Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The information set forth in Items 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

This Amendment amends and restates Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, as amended in its entirety as set forth below:

 

On August 8, 2023, Unitrust and Wang Co entered into a certain equity transfer agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, Wang Co. transferred to Unitrust: (i) 106,500 Class A ordinary shares for US$10,000, and (ii) 250,000 Class B ordinary shares for US$15,000(collectively referred as the “Transferred Shares”).

 

 

 

 

Wang Co. is a British Virgin Islands company 100% owned by Wang, the Issuer’s former CEO and director. Unitrust is a British Virgin Islands company 100% owned by another British Virgin Islands company, Plenty Holdings Company Limited (“Plenty”), which is controlled by Gao, Wang’s mother. Gao is a 51% equity owner of Plenty and the sole director of both Unitrust and Plenty. The Agreement entrusted voting power of the Transferred Shares to Wang Co. indefinitely, although Unitrust and Gao maintained the right to revoke the entrustment with ten days’ written notice. By virtue of his ownership of Wang Co., Wang had the power to vote the Transferred Shares.

 

On August 10, 2023, the Issuer adopted an Employee Performance Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the Employee Performance Incentive Plan, the Issuer granted 300,000 Class A ordinary shares to Sheng Xu (“Xu”) and 500,000 Class A ordinary shares to Wang (together, the “Employee Incentive Shares”). Xu is Wang’s wife and the Issuers’ CEO and director. On March 26, 2024, each of Xu and Wang, through his/her respective Application for Share Transfer, instructed the Issuer to issue the Employee Incentive Shares to Unitrust, and the Issuer issued the Employee Incentive Shares to Unitrust on March 26, 2024.

 

On May 14, 2024, the Issuer effected a 1-for-5 share consolidation of its issued and unissued share capital (“Share Consolidation”). As a result of the Share Consolidation, Unitrust’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares were reduced to 181,300 and 50,000, respectively.

 

Effective on May 30, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, Unitrust revoked the voting power previously entrusted to Wang Co. on the Transferred Shares. Consequently, Wang no longer holds any voting or dispositive power over the Issuer’s shares.

 

 

 

 

Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
