Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1An active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares or our Class A Ordinary Shares may not continue and the trading price for our Class A Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly.
Our Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq. We cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares will continue. If an active public market for our ordinary shares does not continue, the market price and liquidity of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected. As a result, investors in our securities may experience a significant decrease in the value of their Class A Ordinary Shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Our directors and officers currently collectively own an aggregate of 99.25% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Our directors and officers currently collectively own an aggregate of 99.25% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the date of this annual report. These beneficial owners could have significant influence on determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of directors and other significant corporate actions. In cases where their interests are aligned and they vote together, these beneficial owners will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Without the consent of some or all of these shareholders, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. The interests of these beneficial owners may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our Ordinary Shares may cause a material decline in the value of our Ordinary Shares. For more information regarding our beneficial owners and their affiliated entities, see "Item 6. - 6.E. Share Ownership"
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3As an "emerging growth company" under applicable law, we are subject to lessened disclosure requirements. Such reduced disclosure may make our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors.
For as long as we remain an "emerging growth company", as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies", including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies. If some investors find our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares and our Class A Ordinary Share price may be more volatile.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares. A decline in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional Ordinary Shares or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our Class A Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be unable to readily sell the Ordinary Shares they hold or may not be able to sell their Class A Ordinary Shares at all.

- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3ChangedAs an "emerging growth company" under applicable law, we are subject to lessened disclosure requirements. Such reduced disclosure may make our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors.
For as long as we remain an "emerging growth company", as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies", including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

If some investors find our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares and our Class A Ordinary Share price may be more volatile.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4ChangedWe may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares. A decline in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional Ordinary Shares or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our Class A Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be unable to readily sell the Ordinary Shares they hold or may not be able to sell their Class A Ordinary Shares at all.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5AddedEnforcement of the pledge of common stock by our controlling shareholder could result in a change of control, loss of voting control, or a material drop in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
As of the date of this report, Mr. Chi Ming Lam, our controlling shareholder, has pledged 5,400,000 of his shares to Relaxanddrinks Limited. If Mr. Lam defaults on the underlying obligations secured by these pledged shares, the lender may enforce the pledge and foreclose upon, transfer, or sell the 5,400,000 shares. The occurrence of such action could result in an immediate change of control of the Company, a disruption to our corporate strategy and significant alteration to our board and management. Such transfer, if exercised in the market, could create substantial downward pressure on the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and increase price volatility. We cannot assure you that Mr. Lam will fulfill his obligations under the pledge agreement or that the pledgee will not exercise its remedies against the shares. Any enforcement of the pledge could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6AddedThe dual-class share structure may adversely affect the trading market for the Class A Ordinary Shares.
Certain shareholder advisory firms have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares and companies whose public shareholders hold no more than 5% of total voting power from being added to such indices. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual-class share structure may prevent the inclusion of the Class A Ordinary Shares in such indices and may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our significant shareholder has considerable influence over our corporate matters.
Mr. Chi Ming Lam beneficially owns and controls 2,414,865 Class A Ordinary Shares and 6,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares that correspond to 99.25% of the total voting power. Mr. Chi Ming Lam holds considerable influence over corporate matters requiring shareholder approval and will independently control the operations of the Company, including without limitation, electing directors and approving material mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could also discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions, which could have the effect of depriving the holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares of the opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over the prevailing market price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Our significant shareholder may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Because our significant shareholder has considerable influence over our corporate matters, his interests may differ from the interests of our company as a whole. The shareholder could, for example, appoint directors and management without the requisite experience, relations or knowledge to steer our company properly because of their affiliations or loyalty, and such actions may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between the shareholder and our company. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and the shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could disrupt our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9As a "controlled company" under the rules of Nasdaq, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders.
Our directors and officers beneficially own a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Under Nasdaq Rule 5615, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a "controlled company" and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that a majority of our directors be independent, as defined in the Nasdaq Rules, and the requirement that our Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consist entirely of independent directors. Although we do not currently or intend to rely on the "controlled company" exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If we elect to rely on the "controlled company" exemption, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, during any time while we remain a controlled company relying on the exemption and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you would not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Our status as a "controlled company" could cause our ordinary shares to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for our continued listing because our IPO may be deemed as a small public offering and insiders currently hold a large portion of our listed securities.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 provides Nasdaq with broad discretionary authority over the initial and continued listing of securities in Nasdaq and Nasdaq may use such discretion to apply additional or more stringent criteria for the continued listing of particular securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has used its discretion to deny continued listing or to apply additional and more stringent criteria in the instances, including but not limited to: (i) where the company engaged an auditor that has not been subject to an inspection by PCAOB, an auditor that PCAOB cannot inspect, or an auditor that has not demonstrated sufficient resources, geographic reach, or experience to adequately perform the company's audit; (ii) where the company planned a small public offering, which would result in insiders holding a large portion of the company's listed securities. Nasdaq was concerned that the offering size was insufficient to establish the company's initial valuation, and there would not be sufficient liquidity to support a public market for the company; and (iii) where the company did not demonstrate sufficient nexus to the U.S. capital market, including having no U.S. shareholders, operations, or members of the board of directors or management. The insiders of our company currently hold a large portion of the company's listed securities. Nasdaq might apply the additional and more stringent criteria for our continued listing.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12As an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq Stock Market's corporate governance requirements; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the Nasdaq Stock Market's corporate governance requirements.
As a Cayman Islands company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we are subject to the Nasdaq Stock Market's corporate governance requirements. However, the Nasdaq Stock Market rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq Stock Market's corporate governance requirements. For example, neither the Companies Act nor our memorandum and articles of association requires a majority of our directors to be independent and we could include non-independent directors as members of our Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and our independent directors would not necessarily hold regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. Currently, our board of directors consists of a majority of independent directors. Currently we follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq, including (i) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(a) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (ii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company that will result in a change of control of the company; (iii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; and (iv) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price that is less than the minimum price defined therein. Nasdaq Rule 5640 generally provides that voting rights of existing shareholders of publicly traded common stock registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act cannot be disparately reduced or restricted through any corporate action or issuance. Notwithstanding this general requirement, IM-5640 states that Nasdaq will accept any action or issuance relating to the voting rights structure of a non-U.S. company that is not prohibited by the company's home country law. Cayman Islands law permits disparate reduction or restriction of voting rights of existing shareholders by the issuance of super-voting stock. The Company has elected to follow Cayman Islands practice in lieu of the requirements of NASDAQ Rule 5640. Save as aforementioned, we do not plan to rely on other home country practices with respect to our corporate governance. As we may from time to time to choose, to follow home country practice exemptions with respect to certain corporate matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under the Nasdaq Stock Market's corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See also "Item 16G. Corporate Governance."
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.
The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and an audit committee. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. Currently we follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq, including (i) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(a) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (ii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company that will result in a change of control of the company; (iii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; and (iv) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price that is less than the minimum price defined therein. Nasdaq Rule 5640 generally provides that voting rights of existing shareholders of publicly traded common stock registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act cannot be disparately reduced or restricted through any corporate action or issuance. Notwithstanding this general requirement, IM-5640 states that Nasdaq will accept any action or issuance relating to the voting rights structure of a non-U.S. company that is not prohibited by the company's home country law. Cayman Islands law permits disparate reduction or restriction of voting rights of existing shareholders by the issuance of super-voting stock. The Company has elected to follow Cayman Islands practice in lieu of the requirements of NASDAQ Rule 5640. Save as aforementioned, we do not plan to rely on other home country practices with respect to our corporate governance. However, we may, in the future, consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14Mr. Chi Ming Lam, our largest shareholder, owns more than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, Mr. Chi Ming Lam has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to the shareholders for approval. Additionally, we may be deemed to be a "controlled company" and may follow certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect our public shareholders.
As of the date of this Annual Report, our biggest shareholder, Mr. Chi Ming Lam, owns approximately 99.25% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, Mr. Chi Ming Lam has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to the shareholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company is a "controlled company" and is permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from the obligation to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including: - the requirement that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and - the requirement that we have a corporate governance and nominating committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities. Although we do not intend to rely on the "controlled company" exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules even if we are deemed to be a "controlled company," we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If we were to elect to rely on the "controlled company" exemptions, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, if we rely on the exemptions, during the period we remain a controlled company and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you would not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 15Future issuances or sales, or perceived issuances or sales, of substantial amounts of Ordinary Shares in the public market could materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Ordinary Shares and our ability to raise capital in the future.
The market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could decline as a result of future sales of substantial amounts of shares or other securities relating to the shares in the public market, including by the Company's significant shareholder, or the issuance of new shares by the Company, or the perception that such sales or issuances may occur. Future sales, or perceived sales, of substantial amounts of the shares could also materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital in the future at a time and at a price favorable to us, and our shareholders will experience dilution in their holdings upon our issuance or sale of additional securities in the future. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our Class A Ordinary Shares. One shareholder holds a significant portion of our Class A Ordinary Shares and these are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144. These Class A Ordinary Shares may be sold in the future without registration under the Securities Act to the extent permitted by Rule 144 or other exemptions under the Securities Act. The Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes to three sellers on May 26, 2026 as consideration for the acquisition of PMA Nano Carbon Tech Limited in the consideration of US$110 million. Each holder of the Notes (the "Note Holders") shall be entitled to convert any portion of its outstanding and unpaid balance of the principal amount into fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") at the price of US$0.99 per Ordinary Share. The Note Holders shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Notes to the extent that immediately after giving effect to such conversion, the applicable Note Holder, together with its affiliates, would directly or indirectly beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding. If all the convertible bond is converted into Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company, the Company shall issue an additional 111,111,111 Class A Ordinary Shares. As of the date of this annual report, the Company has 12,975,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, consisting of 6,975,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 6,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. Assuming the convertible promissory notes are fully converted, the issue of additional shares will account for approximately 89.54% of the total issued Class A Ordinary Shares, which may cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 16Future financing may cause a dilution in your shareholding or place restrictions on our operations.
We may need to raise additional funds in the future to finance further expansion of our capacity and business relating to our existing operations, acquisitions or strategic partnerships. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of new equity or equity-linked securities of the Company other than on a pro rata basis to existing shareholders, the percentage ownership of such shareholders in the Company may be reduced, and such new securities may confer rights and privileges that take priority over those conferred by the shares. Alternatively, if we meet such funding requirements by way of additional debt financing, we may have restrictions placed on us through such debt financing arrangements which may: - further limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consents for the payment of dividends; - increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; - require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to service our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund capital expenditure, working capital requirements and other general corporate needs; and - limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 17You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and conduct substantially all of our operations in Hong Kong through our wholly-owned Hong Kong Operating Subsidiaries. Most of our directors and substantially all of our executive officers reside outside the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for our shareholders to effect service on these persons or bring an action against us or against these individuals in the Cayman Islands or in Hong Kong in the event that they believe that their rights have been infringed under the securities laws of the United States or otherwise. Even if shareholders are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong may render them unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Amended Memorandum and Articles, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgage and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under the Amended Memorandum and Articles to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Currently we follow Cayman Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq, including (i) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(a) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (ii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company that will result in a change of control of the company; (iii) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities of the Company in connection with equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; and (iv) Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price that is less than the minimum price defined therein. Nasdaq Rule 5640 generally provides that voting rights of existing shareholders of publicly traded common stock registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act cannot be disparately reduced or restricted through any corporate action or issuance. Notwithstanding this general requirement, IM-5640 states that Nasdaq will accept any action or issuance relating to the voting rights structure of a non-U.S. company that is not prohibited by the company's home country law. Cayman Islands law permits disparate reduction or restriction of voting rights of existing shareholders by the issuance of super-voting stock. The Company has elected to follow Cayman Islands practice in lieu of the requirements of NASDAQ Rule 5640. Save as aforementioned, we do not plan to rely on other home country practices with respect to our corporate governance. As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 18Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "PMA." We cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq in the future. In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally, we must maintain a minimum amount in shareholders' equity (generally US$2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally 300 public holders). We are required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. We cannot assure you that we will continue to meet those continued listing requirements. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; - reduced liquidity for our securities; - a determination that our ordinary shares come within the definition of "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; - a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." Because our ordinary shares are listed on Nasdaq, our ordinary shares are covered securities. Although the states are pre-empted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case.
