The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement , the accompanying prospectus, or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and does not contain all of the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. We urge you to read this entire prospectus (as supplemented or amended), including our consolidated financial statements, notes to the consolidated financial statements and other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement from our other filings with the SEC, before making an investment decision. Investors should note that Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd, our ultimate Cayman Islands holding company, is not an operating company, and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in Singapore.
Overview
We are a Singapore-headquartered digital infrastructure holding company that builds and operates technology platforms in emerging markets, entering through digital identity infrastructure and expanding into government technology, artificial intelligence (“AI”), cybersecurity, digital commerce, agritech and transaction-driven services. In 2025, the Company undertook a strategic transition from a business consulting and IT customization-led model to its proprietary Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform, Tridentity, which is the identity layer for the platforms described below.
Historically, we derived a majority of its revenues from business consulting and IT customization services provided primarily to SMEs in Singapore. In 2025, we discontinued its business consulting services and significantly scaled back its IT customization operations to focus resources on its Web 3.0 activation and digital identity solutions and services. Tridentity, launched in December 2023, is a blockchain-based identity solution that provides secure single sign-on authentication to integrated third-party systems.
In May 2026, we reorganized as a multi-vertical holding company with five pillars: Tridentity Infrastructure Group (national digital identity infrastructure); TDTH Cybersecurity Group; TDTH AI & Intelligent Systems Group; TDTH Africa (government technology, digital commerce and transaction infrastructure partnerships in African markets); and TDTH Agritech (technology-enabled agricultural infrastructure). We believe that we can addresses a massive market opportunity today and provides us with an attractive runway for growth.
As part of our strategic realignment to transition our business model, we reallocated resources away from our traditional business consulting and IT customization services to concentrate on the development and expansion of our Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform, Tridentity. As a result, our revenue declined while operating expenses increased as we invested in long-term strategic initiatives. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated revenue of approximately US$0.16 million and US$0.47 million, respectively. Revenue from IT customization and business consulting accounted for 80.7% and nil of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and accounted for 72.5% and 24.1% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. We incurred a net loss of approximately US$22.76 million and US$8.12 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. While this transition has resulted in near-term revenue contraction, we believe this strategic shift positions the Company to capture growth opportunities in the emerging Web 3.0 and digital identity markets.
Company History and Structure
We commenced our operations in 2014 through Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore, to offer services and solutions to operate, optimize and transform business processes. In May 2022, we established Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore, to expand our business in Web 3.0 e-commerce.
In June 2023, to facilitate our financing and listing opportunities outside Singapore, we established Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd, our holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Shortly following its incorporation, Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd acquired 100% interest in Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. and then Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. acquired 100% interest in Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. as part of our reorganization.

Upon the completion of the reorganization, Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd and Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. We are a holding company and we conduct our business through our Singapore subsidiaries.
On May 27, 2025, Trident Digital Tech (DRC) Africa SAS was incorporated as a joint-stock company in the DRC, with Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. holding 80% interest and Africa Digital SARL holding 20% interest. The entity was established to provide digital-identity solutions, biometric identification, secure data-management services and electronic verification systems.

Recent Developments
On September 8, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain non-U.S. investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (the “Private Placement”), par value US$0.0024 per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price of US$0.40 per Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of US$8.0 million (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchasers may pay the Purchase Price in U.S. dollars, Tether (“USDT”), USD Coin (“USDC”) or any combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. On September 8, 2026, the Company completed the closing of the Private Placement and issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 Shares to the Purchasers against payment of the Purchase Price. A portion of the purchase price was paid in USDT and USDC, each of which was valued at and treated as functionally equivalent to U.S. dollars on a 1:1 basis pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for its digital asset reserve, working capital and/or general corporate purposes.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.

Prior to making a decision about investing in the Company’s securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below and the risk factors discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected as a result of these risks. This could cause the trading price of the Company’s securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. These risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of the Company’s securities to decline. You could lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement also contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering
You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class B ordinary shares you purchase in this offering, and future issuances of equity or convertible securities may result in additional dilution.
The offering price of $0.50 per Class B ordinary share in this offering may exceed the pro forma net tangible book value per share of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares. Accordingly, purchasers of Class B ordinary shares in this offering may incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of their investment. See “Dilution.”
In addition, to the extent that the Company raises additional capital in the future through the issuance of Class B ordinary shares or securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for Class B ordinary shares, the Company’s existing shareholders may experience further dilution, and any such newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the Class B ordinary shares offered hereby.
Sales of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares to decline.
The Company may sell additional Class B ordinary shares in public or private offerings and may also issue securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for Class B ordinary shares. The Company cannot predict the size or timing of future issuances of Class B ordinary shares or other securities, or the effect, if any, that such future issuances and sales may have on the market price of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares. Sales of substantial amounts of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, including shares issued in connection with acquisitions or future financings, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares and may impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through future equity financings.
S-7
The Company is subject to Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, and the Company’s Class B ordinary shares could be delisted if the Company fails to satisfy such requirements.
The Company is required to meet the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market. These standards include, among others, requirements relating to minimum bid price, shareholders’ equity, market value of publicly held shares, corporate governance and other quantitative and qualitative criteria. If the Company fails to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and is unable to regain compliance within any applicable cure period, the Company’s Class B ordinary shares could be delisted. A delisting could materially impair shareholders’ ability to buy and sell the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, adversely affect the market price and liquidity of the Class B ordinary shares and significantly impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital.
The market price of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares may be highly volatile, and investors may not be able to resell their Class B ordinary shares at or above the price paid in this offering, or at all.
The trading price of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including market conditions in the broader securities markets; the Company’s capital structure and liquidity; actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; acquisitions, financings or other strategic transactions; changes in analyst reports or recommendations; the trading volume of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares; changes in key personnel; regulatory or political developments; litigation or governmental investigations; and general economic conditions.
These and other factors may cause the market price and trading volume of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their Class B ordinary shares. In addition, companies that experience significant volatility in the market price of their securities have from time to time been subject to securities class action litigation. Any such litigation against the Company could result in substantial costs and divert the attention and resources of the Company’s management from the operation of the Company’s business.
The USDT and/or USDC that we may receive as consideration in this offering are subject to risks associated with stablecoins, which could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the consideration we receive.
The consideration we receive in this offering may include USDT and/or USDC, each of which is a stablecoin designed to maintain a value of approximately one U.S. dollar per token. Although USDT and USDC are intended to maintain a stable value relative to the U.S. dollar, there can be no assurance that either stablecoin will maintain its intended value. The value and liquidity of USDT and USDC may be adversely affected by, among other things, market conditions, loss of confidence, the adequacy or availability of reserves supporting the applicable stablecoin, the ability of the applicable issuer to satisfy redemption requests, operational or technological failures and changes in applicable laws and regulations. In addition, to the extent we receive and hold USDT or USDC, we may be exposed to risks relating to cybersecurity, custody, loss or compromise of access credentials and transactions involving digital assets. If USDT or USDC were to materially decline in value or become illiquid, or if we were unable to access, transfer or convert any USDT or USDC we receive into U.S. dollars or other fiat currency on acceptable terms, the value of such consideration could be materially reduced, which could adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

We estimate that the gross proceeds from this offering will be approximately $15,000,000 based on the U.S. dollar value of the digital assets to be received by us as consideration for the Class B ordinary shares offered hereby. We intend to hold the digital assets received in this offering and may, from time to time, convert all or a portion of such digital assets into U.S. dollars or other fiat currency for working capital and general corporate purposes.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and grow our business.
We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We may rely on dividends from our Singapore subsidiary for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. There are no foreign exchange restrictions under Singapore law which would affect the payment or remittance of dividends by our Singapore subsidiary to us.
Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to distribute dividends, subject to applicable laws. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. Under the Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend either out of profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if the dividend payment would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency, and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.
Cash dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.
If you invest in the Class B ordinary shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per Class B ordinary share in this offering and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share after giving effect to this offering.
Our historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2025 was approximately negative $6,760,804. Historical net tangible book value represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per ordinary share is determined by dividing our historical net tangible book value by the number of ordinary shares outstanding, after giving effect to the 240-for-1 share consolidation of its ordinary shares effected on July 16, 2026.
After giving effect to (i) the conversion of US$8,000,000 of outstanding debt owed by the Company to Mr. Soon Huat Lim into 901,408,450 Class B ordinary shares at a conversion price of US$0.008875 per share, pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement, dated June 30, 2026, by and between the Company and Mr. Soon Huat Lim; (ii) the issuance and sale of 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, dated September 8, 2026, by and among the Company and certain non-U.S. investors, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2025 would have been approximately $9,239,196, or $0.32 per ordinary share.
After further giving effect to the issuance and sale of 30,000,000 Class B ordinary shares in this offering at an offering price of $0.50 per share, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2025 would have been approximately $24,239,196, or $0.41 per ordinary share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $0.09 per ordinary share to our existing shareholders and immediate dilution of approximately $0.09 per Class B ordinary share to investors purchasing Class B ordinary shares in this offering.
S-9
Dilution per Class B ordinary share to investors in this offering is determined by subtracting our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share after giving effect to this offering from the offering price per Class B ordinary share paid by investors in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per-share basis:
| Offering price per Class B ordinary share | $ | 0.50 | ||
| Historical net tangible book value per ordinary share as of December 31, 2025 | $ | (1.79 | ) | |
| Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per ordinary share attributable to this offering | $ | 0.09 | ||
| Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share after giving effect to this offering | $ | 0.41 | ||
| Dilution per Class B ordinary share to investors in this offering | $ | 0.09 |
The Class B ordinary shares sold in this offering will be sold at a fixed price of $0.50 per share. An increase of $1.00 per Class B ordinary share in the offering price from $0.50 per share shown in the table above would increase our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share after this offering to $0.92 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per Class B ordinary share to investors in this offering to $0.58 per share, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The information above is based on an aggregate of 29,139,494 ordinary shares issued and outstanding on a pro forma basis immediately prior to this offering, consisting of 28,931,161 Class B ordinary shares and 208,333 Class A ordinary shares, after giving effect to (i) the conversion of US$8,000,000 of outstanding debt owed by the Company to Mr. Soon Huat Lim into 901,408,450 Class B ordinary shares at a conversion price of US$0.008875 per share, pursuant to the Share Subscription Agreement, dated June 30, 2026, by and between the Company and Mr. Soon Huat Lim; (ii) the issuance and sale of 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, dated September 8, 2026, by and among the Company and certain non-U.S. investors.
To the extent that outstanding options, warrants or other securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for Class B ordinary shares are exercised, converted or exchanged, or we issue additional Class B ordinary shares or other equity securities, investors purchasing Class B ordinary shares in this offering could experience further dilution. In addition, to the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of those securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

S-11
The following summary of the material Cayman Islands, Singapore and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Class B ordinary shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our Class B ordinary shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, Singapore and the United States.
Cayman Islands Taxation
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.
Payments of dividends and capital in respect of the shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Class B ordinary shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class B ordinary shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporate tax.
Singapore Taxation
The following summary is not intended to be or to be regarded as tax advice to any investors, and investors should consult their own professional tax advisors regarding Singapore tax matters.
Corporate Income Tax
A company is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of its business is exercised in Singapore. “Control and management” is defined as the making of decisions on strategic matters, such as those concerning the company’s policy and strategy. Generally, the location of a company’s board of directors’ meetings where strategic decisions are made determines where the control and management of that company is exercised. However, under certain scenarios, holding board meetings in Singapore may not be sufficient and other factors will be considered to determine if the control and management of the business is indeed exercised in Singapore.
A Singapore tax resident corporate taxpayer is subject to Singapore income tax on:
| (a) | income accruing in or derived from Singapore; or |
| (b) | income derived from outside Singapore (i.e. foreign-sourced income) which is received or deemed received in Singapore, unless otherwise exempted. |
A non-Singapore tax resident corporate taxpayer, subject to certain exceptions, is subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore, and on foreign income received or deemed received in Singapore.
S-12
Foreign-sourced income is deemed to be received in Singapore when it is:
| (a) | remitted to, transmitted or brought into Singapore; |
| (b) | used to pay off any debt incurred in respect of a trade or business carried on in Singapore; or |
| (c) | used to purchase any movable property brought into Singapore. |
Foreign-sourced income in the form of branch profits, dividends and service fee income (“specified foreign income”) received or deemed received in Singapore by a Singapore tax resident company are exempted from Singapore tax provided that the following qualifying conditions are met:
| (a) | such income is subject to tax of a similar character to income tax (by whatever name called) under the law of the territory from which such income is received; |
| (b) | at the time such income is received in Singapore by the person resident in Singapore, the highest rate of tax of a similar character to income tax (by whatever name called) levied under the law of the territory from which such income is received on any gains or profits from any trade or business carried on by any company in that territory at that time is at least 15.0%; and |
| (c) | the Comptroller of Income Tax (the “Comptroller”) is satisfied that the tax exemption would be beneficial to the person resident in Singapore who is receiving or deemed to be receiving the specified foreign income. |
The prevailing corporate income tax rate in Singapore is 17.0% with the first S$200,000 of chargeable income of a company being partially exempt from tax as follows:
| (a) | 75.0% of the first S$10,000 of chargeable income; and |
| (b) | 50.0% of the next S$190,000 of chargeable income. |
New companies will also, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, be eligible for tax exemption for each of the company’s first three (3) years of assessment as follows:
| (a) | 75.0% of the first S$100,000 of chargeable income; and |
| (b) | 50.0% of the next S$100,000 of chargeable income. |
The remaining chargeable income (after the tax exemption scheme for new companies or the partial tax exemption scheme for companies) will be fully taxable at the prevailing corporate tax rate. For the year of assessment 2025, companies will receive a 50% corporate income tax rebate capped at S$40,000. Companies which employed at least one local employee in 2024 will receive a cash payout of at least S$2,000. The maximum total benefits of the corporate income tax rebate and the cash payout that a company may receive is capped at S$40,000. For the year of assessment 2026, an enhanced CIT Rebate of 50% of the corporate income tax payable will similarly be granted to all taxpaying companies. Active companies that employed at least one local employee, excluding a shareholder who is also a director of the company, in calendar year 2025 are eligible for a minimum benefit of S$2,000 in the form of a CIT Rebate Cash Grant. The total combined benefit of the CIT Rebate and CIT Rebate Cash Grant for the year of 2026 is capped at S$40,000 per company.
S-13
Dividend Distributions
All Singapore-tax resident companies are currently under the one-tier corporate tax system, or one-tier system.
Under the one-tier system, the income tax paid by a tax resident company is a final tax and its distributable profits can be distributed to shareholders as tax exempt (one-tier) dividends. Such dividends are tax exempt in the hands of a shareholder, regardless of the tax residence status, shareholding level or legal form of the shareholder.
Accordingly, dividends received in respect of the ordinary shares of a Singapore-tax resident company by either a resident or non-resident of Singapore are not subject to Singapore income tax (whether by withholding or otherwise).
Foreign shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers to take into account the tax laws of their respective countries of residence and the existence of any agreement for the avoidance of double taxation which their country of residence may have with Singapore.
Gains on Disposal of Shares
Singapore does not currently impose tax on capital gains. Gains arising from the disposal of the shares may be construed to be of an income nature and subject to Singapore income tax, especially if they arise from activities which may be regarded as the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore. Such gains may also be considered income in nature, even if they do not arise from an activity in the ordinary course of trade or business or an ordinary incident of some other business activity, if the shares were purchased with the intention or purpose of making a profit by sale rather than holding for long-term investment purposes in Singapore. Conversely, gains from disposition of the shares in Singapore, if considered as capital gains rather than income by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (“IRAS”), are not taxable in Singapore.
There are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterization of whether a gain is income or capital in nature. The characterization of gains arising from the sale of shares will depend primarily on the facts and circumstances (commonly referred to as the “badges of trade”) of each shareholder.
Subject to Section 10L of the Income Tax Act 1947 (“SITA”), and specified exceptions, Section 13W of the SITA, provides for certainty on the non-taxability of gains derived by a corporate taxpayer from the disposal of ordinary shares during the period from June 1, 2012 to December 31, 2027 (both dates inclusive) where:
| ● | the divesting company had legally and beneficially held a minimum shareholding of 20% of the ordinary shares of the company whose shares are being disposed; and |
| ● | the divesting company had maintained the minimum 20% shareholding for a continuous period of at least 24 months immediately prior to the disposal. |
The above-mentioned “safe harbor rules” prescribed under Section 13W of SITA will not apply to a divesting company under certain scenarios. These include, but are not limited to, the divesting company that is in the business of trading or holding Singapore immovable properties, or property development (subject to certain exceptions), where the shares are not listed on a stock exchange in Singapore or elsewhere, the divesting company whose gains or profits from the disposal of ordinary shares are included as part of its income, disposal of shares by a partnership, limited partnership or limited liability partnership where one or more of the partners is a company or are companies, etc.
Under Section 10L of the SITA, gains received in Singapore by an entity of a relevant group from the sale or disposal of any movable or immovable property outside Singapore will be treated as income chargeable to tax under Section 10(1)(g) of the SITA under certain circumstances. The foreign-sourced disposal gains will be subject to tax if the entity does not have adequate economic substance in Singapore and the sale or disposal of the foreign asset occurs on or after January 1, 2024. An entity is a member of a group of entities if its assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows are (a) included in the consolidated financial statements of the parent entity of the group; or (b) excluded from the consolidated financial statements of the parent entity of the group solely on size or materiality grounds or on the grounds that the entity is held for sale. A group is a relevant group if (a) the entities of the group are not all incorporated, registered or established in a single jurisdiction; or (b) any entity of the group has a place of business in more than one jurisdiction.
S-14
Shareholders who apply, or who are required to apply, the Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 39 — Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, or FRS 39; the Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 109 — Financial Instruments, or FRS 109; or the Singapore Financial Reporting Standard (International) 9 — Financial Instruments, or SFRS(I) 9, may for the purposes of Singapore income tax be required to recognize gains or losses in respect of financial instruments (not being gains or losses in the nature of capital) in accordance with FRS 39, FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 (as the case may be) (as modified by the applicable provisions of Singapore income tax law) even where no sale or disposal of the shares is made.
Shareholders who may be subject to the above-mentioned tax treatments should consult their accounting and tax advisers regarding Singapore income tax consequences of their acquisition and, holding and disposal of the shares.
United States Federal Income Taxation
The following discussion describes the material United States federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder (as defined below), under current law, of an investment in our Class B ordinary shares. This discussion is based on the federal income tax laws of the United States as of the date of this prospectus supplement, including the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authority, published administrative positions of the IRS and other applicable authorities, all as of the date of this prospectus supplement. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could significantly affect the tax consequences described below. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following discussion and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with our statements and conclusions. This summary does not discuss the so-called Medicare tax on net investment income, any federal non-income tax laws, including the federal estate or gift tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or non-United States taxing jurisdiction.
This discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds Class B ordinary shares as capital assets for United States federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). The discussion neither addresses the tax consequences to any particular investor nor describes all of the tax consequences applicable to persons in special tax situations, such as:
| ● | banks; |
| ● | certain financial institutions; |
| ● | insurance companies; |
| ● | regulated investment companies; |
| ● | real estate investment trusts; |
| ● | brokers or dealers in stocks and securities, or currencies; |
| ● | persons who are required to use a mark-to-market method of accounting; |
| ● | certain former citizens or residents of the United States subject to Section 877 of the Code; |
| ● | entities subject to the United States anti-inversion rules; |
| ● | tax-exempt organizations and entities; |
| ● | persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code; |
| ● | persons whose functional currency is other than the United States dollar; |
| ● | persons holding Class B ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction; |
| ● | persons holding Class B ordinary shares through a bank, financial institution or other entity, or a branch thereof, located, organized or resident outside the United States; |
S-15
| ● | persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock; |
| ● | persons who acquired Class B ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or |
| ● | partnerships or other pass-through entities, or persons holding Class B ordinary shares through such entities. |
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our Class B ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding our Class B ordinary shares should consult its own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of holding our Class B ordinary shares.
The following discussion is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for careful tax planning and advice. Investors considering the purchase of Class B ordinary shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application of the United States federal income tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax consequences arising under the Medicare tax on net investment income, any federal non-income tax laws, including the federal estate or gift tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or non-United States taxing jurisdiction and under any applicable tax treaty.
For purposes of the discussion below, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Class B ordinary shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes:
| ● | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |
| ● | a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
| ● | an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or |
| ● | a trust, if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (ii) in the case of a trust that was treated as a domestic trust under the law in effect before 1997, a valid election is in place under applicable Treasury regulations to treat such trust as a domestic trust. |
Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations
A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income, or the asset test. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. Passive assets are those which give rise to passive income, and include assets held for investment, as well as cash, assets readily convertible into cash, and working capital. The company’s goodwill and other unbooked intangibles are taken into account and may be classified as active or passive depending upon the relative amounts of income generated by the company in each category. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.
Based upon our current and projected income and assets and projections as to the market price of our Class B ordinary shares, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we are or will become a PFIC is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition and classification of our income and assets, including the relative amounts of income generated by our strategic investment business as compared to our other businesses, and the value of the assets held by our strategic investment business as compared to our other businesses. Because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the IRS may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive, which may result in our being or becoming classified as a PFIC in the current or subsequent years. Furthermore fluctuations in the market price of our Class B ordinary shares may cause us to be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test, including the value of our goodwill and unbooked intangibles, may be determined by reference to the market price of our Class B ordinary shares from time to time (which may be volatile). The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increases relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming a PFIC may substantially increase.
S-16
If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Class B ordinary shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder holds our Class B ordinary shares unless, in such case, we cease to be treated as a PFIC and such U.S. Holder makes a deemed sole election.
The discussion below under “— Dividends” and “— Sale or Other Disposition” is written on the basis that we will not be or become classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The U.S. federal income tax rules that apply generally if we are treated as a PFIC are discussed below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”
Dividends
Any cash distributions paid on our Class B ordinary shares out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution we pay will generally be treated as a “dividend” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends received on our Class B ordinary shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends-received from U.S. corporations.
Individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to tax on any such dividends at the lower capital gain tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income,” provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that (i) our Class B ordinary shares on which the dividends are paid are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. Holder for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid and the preceding taxable year, and (iii) certain holding period requirements are met. Our Class B ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, subject to the PFIC rules described herein and the applicable holding period requirements, dividends paid with respect to our Class B ordinary shares generally should be eligible for the reduced rate applicable to qualified dividend income for non-corporate U.S. Holders. There can be no assurance that the Class B ordinary shares will continue to be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to the Class B ordinary shares.
For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends paid on our Class B ordinary shares will generally be treated as income from foreign sources and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Sale or Other Disposition
A U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of Class B ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Class B ordinary shares. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long term if the Class B ordinary shares have been held for more than one year. Non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) generally will be subject to United States federal income tax on long-term capital gain at preferential rates. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that the U.S. Holder recognizes will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes, which could limit the availability of foreign tax credits. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Class B ordinary shares, including the applicability of any tax treaty and the availability of the foreign tax credit under its particular circumstances.
S-17
Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules
If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Class B ordinary shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class B ordinary shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of Class B ordinary shares. Under the PFIC rules:
| ● | the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class B ordinary shares; |
| ● | the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be taxable as ordinary income; and |
| ● | the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year, increased by an additional tax equal to the interest on the resulting tax deemed deferred with respect to each such taxable year. |
As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock. If a U.S. Holder makes this election with respect to our Class B ordinary shares, the holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Class B ordinary shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Class B ordinary shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the Class B ordinary shares over the fair market value of such Class B ordinary shares held at the end of the taxable year, but such deduction will only be allowed to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class B ordinary shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of our Class B ordinary shares and we cease to be classified as a PFIC, the holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that we are not classified as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of our Class B ordinary shares in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but such loss will only be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.
The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter, or regularly traded, on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable United States Treasury regulations. Our Class B ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and are expected to be treated as marketable stock, provided they are regularly traded, but no assurances may be given in this regard.
Because a mark-to-market election cannot technically be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
We do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.
If a U.S. Holder owns our Class B ordinary shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the holder must generally file an annual IRS Form 8621. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Class B ordinary shares if we are or become a PFIC.

$200,000,000
Class B Ordinary Shares
Preferred Shares
Debt Securities
Rights, and
Units
We may from time to time in one or more offerings offer and sell Class B ordinary shares, preferred shares, debt securities, rights and/or units, of an aggregate offering price of up to US$200,000,000. The prospectus supplement for each offering of securities will describe in detail the plan of distribution for that offering. For general information about the distribution of securities offered, please see “Plan of Distribution of the Primary Offering” in this prospectus.
We are a Cayman Islands holding company and all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in Singapore. Our Class B ordinary shares are shares of Trident Cayman, the offshore holding company in the Cayman Islands, instead of shares of our subsidiaries. Investors may never directly hold equity interests in our subsidiaries. An investment in our Class B ordinary shares involves a number of risks, including risks relating to our business and industry, risks relating to the jurisdictions where we operate, and risks relating to our Class B ordinary shares. For more details, please refer to our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 under the heading of “Risk Factors” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.
Our Class B ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under the symbol “TDTH.” On August 24, 2026, the closing trading price for our Class B ordinary shares, as reported on Nasdaq Capital Market, was US$1.925 per share.
Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3, in no event will we sell the securities covered hereby in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our ordinary shares in any 12-month period so long as the aggregate market value of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares held by non-affiliates remains below US$75,000,000. The aggregate market value of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares held by non-affiliates, or public float, as of August 25, 2026, was approximately US$9,368,475, which was calculated based on 3,091,906 Class B ordinary shares held by non-affiliates and the per share price of US$3.03, which was the closing price of our Class B ordinary shares on July 22, 2026. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus, we have not offered or sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3.
Each time we sell these securities, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the offering and the terms of the securities offered. The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement before you invest in any of these securities.
We may offer and sell the securities from time to time at fixed prices, at market prices or at negotiated prices, to or through underwriters, to other purchasers, through agents, or through a combination of these methods, on a continuous or delayed basis. See “Plan of Distribution.” If any underwriters, dealers or agents are involved in the sale of any of the securities, their names, and any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangements between or among them, will be set forth, or will be calculable from the information set forth, in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Our authorized share capital of the Company is US$1,200,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each, comprising (i) 96,000,000 are designated as Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each, (ii) 300,000,000 are designated as Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each, (iii) 48,000,000 are designated as Class C Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each and (iv) 56,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of directors may determine in accordance with our Memorandum and Articles of Association. As of the date of this prospectus, (i) 208,333 Class A ordinary shares, and (ii) 8,428,418 Class B ordinary shares are issued and outstanding. In respect of matters requiring shareholders’ vote, each Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to sixty (60) votes, each Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote and each Class C Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. Each Class A ordinary share and Class C ordinary share is convertible into one Class B ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof, while Class B ordinary shares are not convertible into Class A ordinary shares or Class C ordinary shares under any circumstances.
We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our Class B ordinary shares as a source for any future dividend income.

Overview
We are a leading catalyst for digital transformation in digital optimization, technology services, and Web 3.0 activation worldwide, based in Singapore. In 2025, we undertook a strategic transition from business consulting and IT customization-led model to our proprietary Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform, Tridentity, and offer Web 3.0 activation and digital identity solutions to Singapore, Africa and other high-growth markets.
Historically, we derived a majority of our revenues from business consulting and IT customization services provided primarily to SMEs in Singapore. In 2025, we substantially scaled back these legacy operations. We discontinued our business consulting services and significantly scaled back our IT customization operations to focus resources on our Web 3.0 activation and digital identity solutions and services. Our current strategic focus is the development and commercialization of Tridentity, our Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform launched in December 2023 whereby customers and merchants can transact in a transparent and secure way. As our flagship product, Tridentity is an innovative and highly secure blockchain-based identity solution designed to provide secure single sign-on authentication capabilities to integrated third-party systems across various industries. Tridentity aims to offer unparalleled security features, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and preventing potential threats, thus promising a new secure era in the global digital landscape in general, and in Southeast Asia with a strong focus on Africa and other high growth markets. In June 2025, we signed a definitive public-private partnership agreement with the government of the DRC as the exclusive provider of electronic Know Your Customer (“e-KYC”) services, delivering Web 3.0-based national digital identity.
Beyond Tridentity, our mission is to become the global leader in Web 3.0 activation, notably connecting businesses to a reliable and secure technological platform, with tailored and optimized customer experiences. We believe that Tridentity addresses a massive market opportunity today and provides us with an attractive runway for growth.
As part of our strategic realignment to transition our business model, we reallocated resources away from our traditional business consulting and IT customization services to concentrate on the development and expansion of our Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform, Tridentity. As a result, our revenue declined while operating expenses increased as we invested in long-term strategic initiatives. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated revenue of approximately US$0.16 million and US$0.47 million, respectively. Revenue from IT customization and business consulting accounted for 80.7% and nil of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and accounted for 72.5% and 24.1% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. We incurred a net loss of approximately US$22.76 million and US$8.12 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. While this transition has resulted in near-term revenue contraction, we believe this strategic shift positions the Company to capture growth opportunities in the emerging Web 3.0 and digital identity markets.
Company History and Structure
We commenced our operations in 2014 through Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore, to offer services and solutions to operate, optimize and transform business processes. In May 2022, we established Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore, to expand our business in Web 3.0 e-commerce.
In June 2023, to facilitate our financing and listing opportunities outside Singapore, we established Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd, our holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Shortly following its incorporation, Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd acquired 100% interest in Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. and then Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. acquired 100% interest in Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. as part of our reorganization.

Upon the completion of the reorganization, Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd and Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quality Zone Technologies Pte. Ltd. We are a holding company and we conduct our business through our Singapore subsidiaries.
On May 27, 2025, Trident Digital Tech (DRC) Africa SAS was incorporated as a joint-stock company in the DRC, with Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. holding 80% interest and Africa Digital SARL holding 20% interest. The entity was established to provide digital-identity solutions, biometric identification, secure data-management services and electronic verification systems.
On December 15, 2025, TRIDENT ALISKA DIGITAL TECH GHANA LTD was incorporated as a private limited company in Ghana as a joint venture between Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd. and Aliska Business Advisory and Research Limited, with each party holding a 50% equity interest. The entity was established to engage in information communication technology, including software and application development, technology development services and technology-related investment and services.
Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd is the offshore holding company of our group and conducts business operations through wholly owned subsidiaries.

Recent Developments
Change of Auditor
On January 5, 2026, the audit committee of the board of directors dismissed Marcum Asia CPAs LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and engaged HYYH CPA. LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The audit report of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, there were no disagreements between the Company and Marcum Asia CPAs LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
Nasdaq Compliance Matters
On March 26, 2026, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the Company’s market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) for the 34 consecutive business day period from February 5, 2026 through March 20, 2026, the Company did not maintain the minimum MVLS of US$35,000,000 required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The Company was afforded a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 22, 2026, in which to regain compliance.
On April 28, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that since its listed securities did not have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar days ended April 27, 2026, the Company had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was not eligible for a second 180-day compliance period. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to present its plan for regaining compliance, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Hearings Panel’s decision.
On May 26, 2026, the Company received formal confirmation from Nasdaq stating that the Company had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The hearing previously scheduled before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel for June 4, 2026 was cancelled, and Nasdaq confirmed that the Company’s securities will continue to remain listed and traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

Termination of ADR Program and Share Consolidation
On July 16, 2026, the Company terminated its American depositary receipt program and effected a mandatory exchange of all outstanding ADSs for the underlying Class B ordinary shares. In connection with the termination, the Company effected a 240-for-1 share consolidation of its ordinary shares. Following the share consolidation, each ADS was automatically cancelled and exchanged for one Class B ordinary share, par value US$0.0024 per share. The Class B ordinary shares are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TDTH.”
Implication of Being a Foreign Private Issuer
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Moreover, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. In addition, as an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of the requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. If we rely on exemptions available to foreign private issuers, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules to U.S. domestic issuers.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we intend to furnish annual reports, which will include a review of operations and annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, and all notices of shareholders’ meeting and other reports and communications that are made generally available to our shareholders.

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
This prospectus and any prospectus supplement, and the information incorporated by reference herein may also contain estimates, projections and statistical data that we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by government or third-party providers of market intelligence. Although we have not independently verified the data, we believe that the publications and reports are reliable. However, the statistical data and estimates in these publications and reports are based on a number of assumptions and if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. In addition, due to the rapidly evolving nature of the digital solutions and e-commerce market in Singapore, Southeast Asia and globally, projections or estimates about our business and financial prospects involve significant risks and uncertainties.

We were incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands on June 12, 2023. Our affairs are currently governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Companies Act, Cap 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised), which we refer to as the “Companies Act” in this section, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.
Our authorized share capital of the Company is US$1,200,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each, comprising (i) 96,000,000 are designated as Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each, (ii) 300,000,000 are designated as Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each, (iii) 48,000,000 are designated as Class C Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each and (iv) 56,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0024 each of such class or classes (however designated) as the board of directors may determine in accordance with our Memorandum and Articles of Association (“M&AA”).
As of the date of this prospectus, (i) 208,333 Class A ordinary shares, and (ii) 8,428,418 Class B ordinary shares are issued and outstanding.
Ordinary Shares
Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and Class C Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the Members. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to sixty (60) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company, each Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company, and each Class C Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company, and the Company shall not proceed with any matter to be passed at general meetings of the Company without the written consent of the holders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Class C Ordinary Shares or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the issued and outstanding Class C Ordinary Shares.
Each Class A Ordinary Share or Class C Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class B Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof. The right to convert shall be exercisable by the holder of the Class A Ordinary Share or the Class C Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, delivering a written notice to the Company that such holder elects to convert a specified number of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class C Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, into Class B Ordinary Shares. Class B Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares or Class C Ordinary Shares under any circumstances.
General. All of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members. Our shareholders who are nonresidents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares. Under our M&AA, we may issue only non-negotiable shares and may not issue bearer or negotiable shares.
Dividends. The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, dividends may be declared and paid only out of funds legally available therefor, namely out of either profit or our share premium account, provided that a dividend may not be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Classes of Ordinary Shares. Our ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares and Class C ordinary shares. Except for conversion rights and voting rights, Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and Class C Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with one another and shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions.
An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting (or if passed as a resolution in writing, the approval of two-thirds of our shareholders entitled to vote at a general meeting of our company), while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting (or if passed as a written resolution, the approval of all of our shareholders entitled to vote at a general meeting of our company). A special resolution is required for important matters such as a change of name or any amendment to our M&AA. Holders of our ordinary shares may effect certain changes by ordinary resolution, including increasing the amount of our authorized share capital, consolidating all or any of our share capital into shares of larger amount than our existing shares, sub-dividing our shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than that fixed by our M&AA, and cancelling any unissued shares.
9
General Meetings of Shareholders and Shareholder Proposals. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our M&AA provides that we may, but are not obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors.
Shareholders’ annual general meetings and any other general meetings of our shareholders may be convened by our board of directors. Advance notice of at least seven (7) calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, who hold shares which represent, in aggregate, not less than one-third of the votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings.
Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our M&AA allows any of our shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings, to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting.
Transfer of Shares. Subject to the restrictions of our M&AA set out below, as applicable, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in writing and in such usual or common form or such other form approved by our board of directors.
Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason, refuse to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or upon which our company has a lien. Our directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless (a) the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; (b) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares; (c) the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required; (d) in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four; or (e) a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as our board of directors may from time to time require, is paid to us in respect thereof.
If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. The registration of transfers may, on ten (10) days’ notice being given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other newspapers or by any other means in accordance with the requirements of the Nasdaq to that effect, be suspended at such times and for such periods (not exceeding in the whole thirty (30) calendar days in any year) as our directors may determine.
Liquidation. On a winding up of our company, if the assets available for distribution among our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed among our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.
Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least fourteen (14) days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid on the specified time are subject to forfeiture.
10
Redemption, Purchase and Surrender of Shares. We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner as our board of directors, before the issue of such shares, or our shareholders by special resolution may determine. We may also repurchase any of our shares provided that the manner and terms of such purchase have been approved by our board of directors or by ordinary resolution of our shareholders, or are otherwise authorized by our memorandum and articles of association. Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if the company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.
Variations of Rights of Shares. If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class of shares may be varied or abrogated either with the written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights will not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.
Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our ordinary shares have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or our corporate records (other than our memorandum and articles of association, any special resolutions of our shareholders, and our register of mortgages and charges). However, at the discretion of our board of directors, we intend to provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements.
Changes in Capital. Our shareholders may from time to time by ordinary resolution:
| ● | increase our share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe; |
| ● | consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares; |
| ● | sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount than that fixed by our memorandum; and |
| ● | cancel any shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled. |
Our shareholders may, by special resolution and subject to confirmation by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on an application by our company for an order confirming such reduction, reduce our share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorized by law.
Issuance of Additional Shares. Our M&AA authorizes our board of directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent there are available authorized but unissued shares.
Our M&AA authorizes our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of convertible redeemable preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of convertible redeemable preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:
| ● | designation of the series; |
| ● | the number of shares of the series; |
| ● | the dividend rights, conversion rights and voting rights; and |
| ● | the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences. |
11
The issuance of convertible redeemable preferred shares may be used as an anti-takeover device without further action on the part of the shareholders. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.
Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of M&AA may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:
| ● | authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and |
| ● | limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders. |
However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our M&AA for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.
Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:
| ● | does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies; |
| ● | is not required to open its register of members for inspection; |
| ● | does not have to hold an annual general meeting; |
| ● | may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 30 years in the first instance); |
| ● | may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands; |
| ● | may register as a limited duration company; and |
| ● | may register as a segregated portfolio company.
“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil). |
Preferred Shares
The Board is empowered to allot, issue, and dispose of shares (including, without limitation, preferred shares) (whether in certificated form or non-certificated form), to such persons, in such manner, on such terms and having such rights and being subject to such restrictions as they may from time to time determine. The Board may, without the approval of the shareholders, create and designate out of the unissued shares of the Company (including unissued Class B ordinary shares) one or more classes or series of preferred shares, comprising such number of preferred shares, and having such designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, as the Board may determine in their sole and absolute discretion.
12
You should refer to the prospectus relating to any series of preferred shares being offered for the specific terms of that series, including:
| ● | title of the series and the number of shares in the series; |
| ● | the price at which the preferred shares will be offered; |
| ● | the dividend rate or rates or method of calculating the rates, the dates on which the dividends will be payable, whether or not dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends on the preferred shares being offered will cumulate; |
| ● | the voting rights, if any, of the holders of preferred shares being offered; |
| ● | the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, and the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred shares being offered, including any restrictions on the foregoing as a result of arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments; |
| ● | the liquidation preference per share; |
| ● | the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred shares being offered will be convertible into our ordinary shares, including the conversion price, or the manner of calculating the conversion price, and the conversion period; |
| ● | the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred shares being offered will be exchangeable for debt securities, including the exchange price, or the manner of calculating the exchange price, and the exchange period; |
| ● | any listing of the preferred shares being offered on any securities exchange; |
| ● | a discussion of any material federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred shares being offered; |
| ● | any preemptive rights; |
| ● | the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred shares being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; |
| ● | any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred shares ranking senior or equal to the series of preferred shares being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; and |
| ● | any additional rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the series. |
Upon issuance, the preferred shares will be fully paid and nonassessable, which means that its holders will have paid their purchase price in full and we may not require them to pay additional funds.
Any preferred share terms selected by the Board could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of our ordinary shares or adversely affect the rights and power, including voting rights, of the holders of our ordinary shares without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The rights of holders of our ordinary shares will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred shares that may be issued by us in the future. The issuance of preferred shares could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult.
Differences in Corporate Law
The Companies Act of the Cayman Islands is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English statutory enactments and, accordingly, there are significant differences between the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.
13
Mergers and Similar Arrangements
The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (i) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (ii) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the surviving or consolidated company, a declaration as to the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation that is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.
A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least 90.0% of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.
The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.
Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation; provided that the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act. The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.
Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement; provided that the arrangement is approved by (a) 75% in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, or (b) a majority in number representing 75% in value of the creditors or class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:
| ● | the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met; |
| ● | the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class; |
| ● | the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and |
| ● | the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act. |
The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition, which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholders upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% in value of the shares for which the offer has been made, the offeror may, within a two-month period after the approval by the said holders, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer that has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.
14
If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.
Shareholders’ Suits
In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:
| ● | a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires (and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders); |
| ● | the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and |
| ● | those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.” |
Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our memorandum and articles of association provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors or officer, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.
In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Directors’ Fiduciary Duties
Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.
15
As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his position as director (unless the company permits him to do so), a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his personal interest or his duty to a third party, and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.
Shareholder Action by Written Consent
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our memorandum and articles of association provide that our shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of (i) in the case of ordinary resolutions, a written resolution signed by two-thirds of our shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of our company, or (ii) in the case of special resolutions, a unanimous written resolution signed by all of our shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings of our company, without a meeting being held.
Shareholder Proposals
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders; provided that it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.
The Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our memorandum and articles of association allow any one or more of our shareholders who together hold shares that carry in aggregate not less than two-thirds of the total number of votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.
Cumulative Voting
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.
16
Removal of Directors
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our memorandum and articles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders or by a written resolution signed by every director other than the director being removed. A director will also cease to be a director if he (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from meetings of our board for three consecutive meetings and our board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of our articles of association.
Transactions with Interested Shareholders
The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.
Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, the directors of our Company are required to comply with fiduciary duties, which they owe to our Company under Cayman Islands laws, including the duty to ensure that, in their opinion, any such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.
Restructuring.
A company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company:
| (a) | is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts; and |
| (b) | intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring. |
17
The Grand Court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer upon hearing of such petition, with such powers and to carry out such functions as the court may order. At any time (i) after the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer but before an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer has been made, and (ii) when an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer is made, until such order has been discharged, no suit, action or other proceedings (other than criminal proceedings) shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company, no resolution to wind up the company shall be passed, and no winding up petition may be presented against the company, except with the leave of the court. However, notwithstanding the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer or the appointment of a restructuring officer, a creditor who has security over the whole or part of the assets of the company is entitled to enforce the security without the leave of the court and without reference to the restructuring officer appointed.
Dissolution; Winding up
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.
Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.
Variation of Rights of Shares
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our memorandum and articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Amendment of Governing Documents
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.
Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders
There are no limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our memorandum and articles of association that require our Company to disclose shareholder ownership above any particular ownership threshold.
18
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED SHARES
Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with our ordinary shares. Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. Although we do not currently intend to issue any preferred shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.
As of the date of this prospectus, there are no issued and outstanding preferred shares of any series. The material terms of any series of preferred shares that we offer, together with any material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to such preferred shares, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Holders of our preferred shares are entitled to certain rights and subject to certain conditions as set forth in our currently effective memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Act. See “Description of Share Capital.”
19
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
We may issue series of debt securities, which may include debt securities exchangeable for or convertible into ordinary shares or preferred shares. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of that series in a supplement to this prospectus. The following description of debt securities will apply to the debt securities offered by this prospectus unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities may specify different or additional terms.
The debt securities offered by this prospectus may be secured or unsecured, and may be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities. The debt securities offered by this prospectus may be issued under an indenture between us and the trustee under the indenture.

The summary is not complete. The form of the indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form F-3, of which this prospectus is a part, and you should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you.
The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and detailed or determined in the manner provided in a board of directors’ resolution, an officers’ certificate and by a supplemental indenture. The particular terms of each series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to the series, including any pricing supplement.
We may issue any amount of debt securities under the indenture, which may be in one or more series with the same or different maturities, at par, at a premium or at a discount.

We may issue debt securities that are exchangeable for and/or convertible into ordinary shares or preferred shares. The terms, if any, on which the debt securities may be exchanged and/or converted will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Such terms may include provisions for exchange or conversion, which can be mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, and the manner in which the number of ordinary shares, preferred shares or other securities to be received by the holders of debt securities would be calculated.
We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the U.S. federal income tax considerations, and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We may issue debt securities of a series in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. Global securities will be issued in registered form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement.
21
We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.
The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:
| ● | the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
| ● | the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights; |
| ● | the exercise price; |
| ● | the conditions to completion of the rights offering; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and |
| ● | any applicable federal income tax considerations. |
Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.
If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
22
We may issue units composed of any combination of our Class B ordinary shares, preferred shares or debt securities. We will issue each unit so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. As a result, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The following description is a summary of selected provisions relating to units that we may offer. The summary is not complete. When units are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable, will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. The specific terms of the units as described in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section.
This summary and any description of units in the supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, if applicable. We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before we issue a series of units. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a copy of a document when it is filed.
The applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus may describe:
| ● | the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; | |
| ● | any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities composing the units; | |
| ● | whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form; and | |
| ● | any other terms of the units. |
The applicable provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Share Capital,” “Description of Preferred Shares,” and “Description of Debt Securities” above, will apply to each unit and to each security included in each unit, respectively.
23
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, (iii) through agents, or (iv) through a combination of any these methods. The securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. The prospectus supplement will include the following information:
| ● | the terms of the offering; |
| ● | the names of any underwriters or agents; |
| ● | the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters; |
| ● | the purchase price of the securities; |
| ● | any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; |
| ● | the net proceeds from the sale of the securities; |
| ● | any delayed delivery arrangements; |
| ● | any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation; |
| ● | any initial public offering price; |
| ● | any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; |
| ● | any commissions paid to agents; and |
| ● | any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed. |
Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers.
Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
24
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our Class B ordinary shares, all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
General Information
Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
25
Material income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering of those securities.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:
| ● | political and economic stability; |
| ● | an effective judicial system; |
| ● | a favorable tax system; |
| ● | the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and |
| ● | the availability of professional and support services. |
However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include but are not limited to:
| ● | the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the United States; and |
| ● | Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. |
Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.
We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., located at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.
According to our Cayman Islands’ legal counsel, there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relating to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.
Cayman Islands’ counsel further advised that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the Cayman Islands will, at common law, recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, provided such judgment (1) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (2) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (3) is final, (4) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, and (5) was not obtained in a manner and is of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.
