As previously disclosed, on June 23, 2025, a judgement (the “Judgement”) issued by the High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Court of First Instance in connection with the action no. HCA 938/2022 was filed, whereby it was ordered, amongst others, that:

(ii)	The Company and the subsidiary, SGOCO International (HK) Limited, amongst other defendants, are jointly and severally liable for payment of $241,400,000 Hong Kong Dollars.

On August 20, 2025, the Company received a winding up petition dated July 24, 2025 (the “Petition”), filed by Real Estate and Finance Fund (in Liquidation) (the “Petitioner”) with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. The Petitioner sets out in the Petition that the Company is insolvent and unable to pay its debts to the Petitioner as a result of the Judgement, or in the alternative, the winding up of the Company on just and equitable grounds.

The Company is looking into legal avenues and options including an application to the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for appeal and stay of execution in regards to the Petition, in order to protect the interest of the Company’s shareholders.
