Term : The Fund has a four (4)-year term commencing on the date of the Limited Partnership Agreement, unless wound-up and dissolved earlier under the dissolution provisions provided in the Limited Partnership Agreement, including, among others, (i) the decision of the General Partner; (ii) the withdrawal, bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of the General Partner or the occurrence of any other event as stipulated in the governing laws and regulations; and (iii) an order of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the winding-up and dissolution.
     
Redemption : Each Limited Partner may request withdrawals from its effective capital account in the Fund (the “Capital Account”) as of the end of each fiscal year, subject to a ninety (90)-day prior written notice period and the consent of the General Partner, which may be granted or withheld in its absolute and sole discretion. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Fund to distribute cash or property to the General Partner and Limited Partners as part of withdrawal, at such times and in such amounts as it shall determine its sole discretion.
     
    The General Partner is entitled to, among other things: (i) withhold up to 5% of the Capital Account for withdrawals of 90% or more of the Capital Account balance for the Fund’s liabilities and other contingencies until no later than thirty (30) days after the completion of its year-end audit; (ii) establish reserves and holdbacks for estimated accrued expenses, liabilities, and contingencies which could reduce the amount of a distribution upon withdrawal; and (iii) satisfy all or part of a withdrawal request by a distribution in kind of assets, including digital assets or securities in-kind. Furthermore, the General Partner may, by written notice, compel the withdrawal of all of a Limited Partner’s interest at any time and for any reason. Any withdrawal is also subject to the deduction of any accrued incentive allocation payable to the General Partner.
     
Transferability : The limited partnership interest, or any beneficial interest therein, may not be transferred, mortgaged, assigned or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, except with the written consent thereto of the General Partner given in its sole discretion.

Management : The General Partner is responsible for the overall management and operation of the Fund and has ultimate authority over its affairs.

 

3

 

 

    The General Partner has engaged the Investment Manager to provide ongoing investment management and administrative services. Pursuant to this delegation, the Investment Manager is authorized to conduct the Fund’s day-to-day operations, manage investments, retain service providers, make tax and accounting elections, and perform other functions customarily performed by an investment manager. While the Investment Manager may delegate certain duties to affiliates or third parties, it remains responsible for the supervision of such delegates.
     
    An advisory committee comprising the representatives of the Limited Partners (the “Advisory Committee”), may be constituted to act in a consultative capacity and will be consulted by the General Partner on certain matters as specified in the Limited Partnership Agreement, which include, among other things, potential conflicts of interest and approving the valuation policies of the Fund. The Advisory Committee will not have any authority to make investment decisions or otherwise participate in the Fund’s management or control of the business.
     
Management fee : For the initial year of operations, the annual management fee is 2.0% of the capital commitments made by the respective Limited Partners (the “Capital Commitments”), with half of the management fee (i.e., 1.0% of Capital Commitments) satisfied upfront at the time of its initial capital contribution. Commencing from the second year of operations, the annual management fee is 1.0% of Capital Contributions used to fund the cost of any unrealized investments then held by the Fund.
     
Distributions : In the discretion of the General Partner, following consultation with the Investment Manager, a Limited Partner may receive in-kind distributions from the Partnership’s portfolio. Such investments so distributed may not be readily marketable or saleable and may have to be held by such Limited Partner for an indefinite period of time. Any such in-kind distributions will not materially prejudice the interests of the remaining Limited Partners in the same class, to the extent applicable. If the Partnership distributes securities in-kind in satisfaction of a withdrawal request, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, at the request of any Limited Partner and to the extent practicable, hold any such securities in trust or in a liquidating special purpose vehicle and liquidate such securities on the Limited Partner’s behalf in which case (i) payment to such Limited Partner of that portion of its withdrawal attributable to such securities will be delayed until such time as such securities can be liquidated and (ii) the amount otherwise due to such Limited Partner will be increased or decreased to reflect the performance of such securities through the date on which the liquidation of such securities is effected, and any applicable expenses, the management fee and accrued incentive allocation.

 

4

 

 

    If a Limited Partner is obligated pursuant to applicable law, rules and regulations to return a distribution made to it where the Fund is insolvent, such distribution shall be returned without the application of interest.
     
Incentive allocation : Subject to different classes of interests the Limited Partners subscribe to, the General Partner may be entitled to receive an allocation equal to an incentive allocation percentage of the net income allocated to such Limited Partner. In relation to the Subscribed Interests, the General Partner is not entitled to receive any incentive allocation, while the net income or net loss of the Fund (including realized and unrealized gains and losses) will be allocated to Joy Triple Star in proportion to its Capital Account balance.
     
Payment : Each Limited Partner is expected to fund its entire capital commitment in cash within five days upon admission to the Partnership.

 

INFORMATION ON THE UNDERLYING ASSET IN RELATION TO THE SUBSCRIBED INTERESTS

 

The Subscribed Interests provide the Group with an economic exposure derived from the Fund’s deployment of capital into a dual-allocation strategy. In the initial year of operations, this strategy primarily consists of a secured credit loan of USDC extended to Coinbase Custody International Limited, which is expected to be collateralized by Bitcoin with a target collateralization ratio over 100%. Actual collateral levels and recovery prospects will depend on prevailing market conditions and the terms of the lending arrangement. Commencing from the second year of operations, the Fund intends to reinvest yield proceeds annually into digital assets, including but not limited to Bitcoin, based on prevailing market terms and negotiated rates.

 

The Subscribed Interests are under Class A Interests of the Fund, which are designed to allocate the monthly income generated from stablecoin lending activities into Bitcoin. All lending, trading, and custody activities are intended to be conducted through Coinbase, Inc., a U.S.-based digital asset platform that is publicly listed and subject to regulatory oversight.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing credit enhancements, the Subscription may be subject to certain risks in association with the Fund’s structure, including the risk of total loss of invested capital, as well as other risks such as digital asset volatility, stablecoin depegging, lending counterparty default, custodian failure, and adverse changes in regulatory treatment of digital assets.

 

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

 

The amount of Capital Commitment for the Subscription was determined by the Subscriber after considering (i) the terms of the Funds Documents as compared to that offered by other comparable investment products available in the market; (ii) the Fund’s investment strategy and underlying assets, in particular its dual-allocation portfolio consisting of secured lending of U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins and reinvestment of yield proceeds into Bitcoin and other digital assets, and the potential of such strategy to generate income and long-term capital appreciation; (iii) the Group’s existing investment portfolio, with reference to its overall exposure, diversification, expected return profile, and risk tolerance; and (iv) the Group’s cash management requirements, including an assessment of the Fund’s liquidity terms.

 

5

 

 

In line with its investment objectives, the Company conducts regular reviews of its investment portfolios and makes timely adjustments to optimize capital preservation, with the aim of delivering consistent, risk-adjusted returns to its Shareholders. The Directors believe that the Subscription is in line with the Group’s long-term investment strategy, is on normal commercial terms, and is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. In reaching this view, the Directors have considered the following factors:

 

(i)Strategic allocation and portfolio diversification

 

The Subscription is guided by the Group’s core treasury management principle: enhancing investment returns on the fundamental premise of capital preservation, representing a strategic and forward-looking allocation for the Group and providing the Group with disciplined exposure to the emerging digital assets. This initiative is intended to diversify the Group’s existing investment portfolio, which is consistent with the Group’s objective of achieving consistent, long-term risk-adjusted returns through prudent capital allocation into sectors with growth potential.

 

As set out in the section “Principal Terms of Olive Digital Fund” above, the Fund’s dual-allocation strategy is designed to generate both income and capital appreciation. The Fund has a target internal rate of return (IRR) exceeding mid-single digit range, driven principally by the agreed-upon lending interest rate and potential appreciation of its Bitcoin holdings. This structure directly supports the Group’s overarching investment strategy, which is fundamentally guided by capital preservation and prudent risk management. The Subscription is structured such that the Group’s principal capital is allocated to the Fund’s lower-risk, yield-generating activities. Consequently, the Group’s exposure to more volatile assets, such as Bitcoin, is funded solely from the interest income generated by the Fund, thereby creating upside potential while strictly defining and limiting the Group’s direct capital risk.

 

(ii)Access to a high-growth digital assets ecosystem

 

The Subscription enables the Group to gain strategic exposure to the fast-evolving digital asset ecosystem through a professionally managed and regulated investment vehicle. By participating via the Fund, the Company is able to capture opportunities in one of the highest-growth sectors of global finance without assuming the full operational, custody, and compliance burdens associated with direct investment.

 

This approach allows the Group to benefit from the potential upside of digital assets in a structured and diversified manner, as the Fund’s dual-allocation strategy combines stablecoin lending with reinvestment of yield proceeds into Bitcoin and other digital assets. Such an allocation provides a balance between near-term income generation and long-term capital appreciation, while reducing concentration risk that would otherwise arise from direct, single-asset purchases.

 

(iii)Expertise of a specialized management team

 

While the Investment Manager is a newly established entity and a member of the Group, it is operated under the Company’s own brand, Olive Asset Management, the Company’s business that manages USD-denominated private equity funds and private secondary products. Over the past two and a half years, the Company has significantly enhanced the competitiveness of its overseas primary market product shelf, which allows the Company to offer private equity products that are on par with those provided by leading global private banks.

 

6

 

 

The Board’s decision is predicated on the capability and deep domain expertise of the Company’s very own investment management team. The management team of the Investment Manager is comprised of seasoned professionals who possess a demonstrable track record and a unique combination of expertise in blockchain technology and private equity investment experience. For the details of the biography of the management team of the Investment Manager, please refer to “Information on the Parties — (iv) Investment Manager — Olive Partners Management” below.

 

(iv)Risk-managed framework and enhanced oversight

 

Olive Digital Fund provides the Group with a structured and institutional-grade vehicle designed to mitigate risks inherent in the digital asset market. Unlike direct investment in crypto exchanges or speculative trading, the Fund adopts a disciplined risk management framework that combines secured lending, portfolio diversification, and ongoing monitoring of counterparties and collateral. This structure reduces exposure to concentrated risks such as extreme asset price volatility, counterparty default, or operational failures in custody and trading.

 

A key benefit of this approach is the alignment of governance and oversight. Through its relationship with the Investment Manager, the Group is able to exert a greater degree of influence over operational policies, investment protocols, and risk controls than would typically be possible with an unaffiliated third-party manager. This enhanced oversight ensures that investment activities remain consistent with the Group’s overall risk appetite, compliance standards, and fiduciary responsibilities to its Shareholders.

 

Furthermore, the Fund’s framework incorporates collateralized lending arrangements and structured reinvestment mechanics, which provide an additional layer of protection compared to unstructured exposure to digital assets. These features allow the Group to capture the growth potential of the sector while managing downside risks in a more transparent and measurable way.

 

Taken together, these elements enable the Subscription to serve as a risk-adjusted gateway to digital asset exposure: it offers the Group potential returns while safeguarding capital through formalized governance, structured protocols, and enhanced monitoring, thereby ensuring that the Company’s and Shareholders’ interests are prioritized and protected.

 

(v)Alternative investment opportunities

 

In assessing the Subscription, the Board also considered alternative investment opportunities for gaining exposure to this sector, such as the direct purchase of digital assets on crypto and digital asset exchanges. These alternatives were ultimately not pursued as they were deemed inconsistent with the Group’s risk management framework, which prioritizes a structured, risk-mitigated approach over direct speculative investment. The Subscription was therefore identified as the most suitable vehicle to achieve the Group’s strategic objectives in this area.

 

Having considered the reasons set out above, the Directors (including the independent Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Subscription are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES

 

(i)The Company and Joy Triple Star

 

The Company is a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors.

 

Joy Triple Star, the Subscriber, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company established under the law of the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on January 12, 2008 and acts as an investment holding platform within the Group.

 

(ii)Olive Digital Fund

 

Olive Digital Fund is an exempted limited partnership established and registered in accordance with Section 9 of the Exempted Limited Partnership Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands on June 25, 2025.

 

Based on information provided by the Investment Manager:

 

a.As of the date of this announcement, the Subscriber has not yet made any capital contributions to the Fund. However, assuming the Fund achieves its target size and the full amount of the capital commitments by the Subscriber and all other Limited Partners is contributed to the Fund, the Subscriber would hold approximately 62.5% of the aggregate partnership interests in the Fund.

 

b.Given the Fund’s structure and its objective to raise additional capital through one or more subsequent closings, the Fund’s size is expected to increase over the fundraising period, which will continue for 12 months from the date of the Limited Partnership Agreement, with the General Partner having the discretion to extend such period for one additional month. Accordingly, the Fund is expected to have a broader investor base over its term. Consequently, and as contemplated by the Fund’s constitutional documents, the Subscriber’s percentage interest in the Fund is expected to be diluted as the Fund admits new investors in subsequent closings of the further subscriptions.

 

(iii)General Partner — Olive Partners Cayman

 

The General Partner is Olive Partners Cayman, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and each shareholder of which is an employee of the Group who is an Independent Third Party. As of the date of this announcement, the directors of Olive Partners Cayman were Mr. Byron Ye (“Mr. Ye”) and Mr. Wei Zhou (“Mr. Zhou”), who concurrently served as the directors of the Investment Manager, making it an affiliate of Olive Partners Cayman.

(iv)Investment Manager — Olive Partners Management

 

The Investment Manager is Olive Partners Management, a limited liability company incorporated in Delaware on July 8, 2024, and a member of the Group controlled by the Company through a series of contractual arrangements. Each registered member of Olive Partners Management is an employee of the Group.

 

The Affiliation with the Group through Contractual Arrangements

 

Since its establishment in July 2024, the Investment Manager has generated investment advisory and management fees, which have not constituted a material source of revenue for the Group during this initial period. Its assets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 were not material to the Group, being less than 0.1% of the total assets of the Group.

 

Through contractual arrangements, the Company exercises effective control over Olive Partners Management for the operation of the Group’s U.S.-based asset investment management business.

 

Reasons for Adopting the Contractual Arrangements

 

In the United States, certain transactions involving foreign investment are subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an inter-agency body authorized to assess the national security effects of such investments. CFIUS has broad jurisdiction to review investments by foreign persons in U.S. businesses, particularly in sensitive sectors involving technology, critical infrastructure, and personal data. Depending on the nature of the transactions and the sectors involved, CFIUS may require mandatory filings or encourage voluntary notices for CFIUS review of the transactions. In the current geopolitical environment, investments made by China-based investors are subject to heightened scrutiny and additional regulatory oversight, which can lead to increased compliance requirements, potential transaction delays, and the risk of prohibition or forced divestment.

 

In practice, certain asset investment opportunities (including in the digital assets space) or fund structures in the U.S. market may have specific requirements regarding the nationality, residency, or corporate structure of investment managers. This complex and evolving landscape presents unique operational challenges and considerations for China-based asset management companies seeking to invest in the United States.

 

The Company adopted the contractual arrangements to enhance its ability to effectively access and manage investment opportunities in the U.S. asset management market and mitigate potential operational hurdles encountered by foreign-owned investment managers under Olive Partners Management, while remaining mindful of the complex regulatory landscape applicable to foreign investors. By utilizing this arrangement, the Company aims to better position itself to participate in the dynamic U.S. market, including in emerging and specialized sectors such as digital assets.

Structure of the Contractual Arrangements

 

The Company, through Olive SG, its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a series of contractual arrangement with Olive Partners Management and/or its registered members, being Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhou, on July 8, 2024. The agreements underlying the contractual arrangements with Olive Partners Management and/or its registered members include an exclusive business support agreement, an exclusive option agreement, a membership interest pledge agreement and powers of attorney (together, the “OPM Contracts”).

 

The OPM Contracts enable the Group to (a) exercise effective control over Olive Partners Management, primarily through the irrevocable powers of attorney granted by its registered members, which empower the Group to exercise all member rights; (b) receive the economic benefits generated by Olive Partners Management, pursuant to the exclusive business support agreement under which Olive SG provides services in exchange for service fees; (c) have an exclusive and irrevocable option to acquire (by itself or through a designated third party) all or part of the membership interests in Olive Partners Management; and (d) receive a pledge of the membership interests in Olive Partners Management as collateral to secure the registered members’ and Olive Partners Management’s performance of their obligations under the OPM Contracts. The OPM Contracts allow the Group to consolidate the financial results of Olive Partners Management as a variable interest entity.

 

The diagram below illustrates the summary of structure under the OPM Contracts:

 

 

Based on its review of the OPM Contracts, the Company’s U.S. legal advisor has confirmed that each of these contracts is, and taken as a whole are, valid and legally binding on the parties thereto.

Mr. Ye is supported by Mr. Zhou, also a director at Olive Partners Management and an employee of the Group. Mr. Zhou focuses on identifying investment opportunities within U.S. private markets, including venture capital and private equity fund investments, technology direct/co-investments, secondaries, and special opportunities.

 

While Olive Partners Management itself was recently established in July 2024, the collective experience and professional capabilities of its management team provide the necessary foundation for executing sophisticated digital asset investment strategies. The management team members’ diverse backgrounds in traditional investment management, technology sector investments, and alternative asset classes position them well to navigate the complexities of the digital asset ecosystem and capitalize on emerging opportunities in this rapidly evolving market.

 

  b. Strategic Network and Market Access

 

The management team of Olive Partners Management leverages extensive networks and relationships within both traditional investment management and the digital asset ecosystem. Their professional backgrounds provide access to a broad spectrum of investment opportunities, including direct investments in blockchain technology companies, digital asset funds, and other digital asset-related ventures. This network enables Olive Partners Management to identify and evaluate investment opportunities that may not be readily accessible to other market participants, thereby enhancing the potential for attractive risk-adjusted returns for the Fund.
