On January 3, 2025, at the Company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the proposed re-designation and re-classification of 497,500,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each in the capital of the Company (including all of the issued and outstanding shares) as 497,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, and a proposed re-designation and re-classification of 2,500,000 unissued Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each in the capital of the Company as 2,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, so that the authorized share capital of the Company is $50,000 divided into 497,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each and 2,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have equal economic rights but unequal voting rights. Class A Ordinary Shares receive one vote each and Class B Ordinary Shares receive twenty votes each.

 

Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof. In no event may Class A Ordinary Shares be converted into Class B Ordinary Shares. Subject to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person which is not an affiliate of such holder, or upon a change of beneficial ownership of any Class B Ordinary Shares as a result of which any person who is not an affiliate of such holder becomes a beneficial owners of such Class B Ordinary Shares, such Class B Ordinary Shares will be automatically and immediately converted into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the share consolidation, the Company also approved an increase in its authorized share capital.

 

In August 2025, the Company issued 25,889 Class A Ordinary Shares for fractional shares in connection with the share consolidation reconciliation. No cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares.

Incentive Plan

 

On March 13, 2026, the Company established a long-term, performance-based equity incentive plan for Mr. Christopher Nixon Cox, to align the leadership’s performance with the creation of long-term shareholder value. Pursuant to a stock option agreement, Mr. Christopher Nixon Cox was granted market-priced stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,030,000 class A ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $8.27 per share (based on the closing price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the grant date). The grant consists of two tranches: 80,000 shares (Tranche 1) and 950,000 shares (Tranche 2). Under the plan, 970,000 of the options shall vest only upon the achievement of key strategic milestones specified in the Agreement. As of April 30, 2026, the Company assessed that the performance milestones were not probable of achievement. Consequently, no compensation expense has been recognized for the 970,000 stock options for the six months then ended. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $423,034 related to vested options.
