PROPOSAL NO. 3

 

SHARE CONSOLIDATION

 

To consider and approve a proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to effect a consolidation of the Company’s authorized and issued shares on such date as the Board of Directors shall determine, at a ratio of no less than 2-for-1 and no greater than 100-for-1, to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

 

Purpose of the Share Consolidation

 

The Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CHSN.” Among other requirements, the listing maintenance standards established by Nasdaq require the Class A Ordinary Shares to have a minimum closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”), if the closing bid price of the Class A Ordinary Shares is not equal to or greater than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the Company. Thereafter, if the Class A Ordinary Shares do not close at a minimum bid price of US$1.00 or more for 10 consecutive business days within 180 calendar days of the deficiency notice, Nasdaq may determine to delist the Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

In the event the Class A Ordinary Shares were no longer eligible for continued listing on Nasdaq, the Company could be forced to seek to trade its Class A Ordinary Shares on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets.” These alternative markets are generally considered to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, Nasdaq, and therefore less desirable. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes delisting of the Class A Ordinary Shares would likely have a negative impact on the liquidity and market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares and may increase the spread between the “bid” and “ask” prices quoted by market makers.

 

The Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to the Company of a delisting from Nasdaq and believes that delisting could, among other things, adversely affect (i) the trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares; and (ii) the liquidity and marketability of the Class A Ordinary Shares. This could reduce the ability of holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares to purchase or sell Class A Ordinary Shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically. Delisting could also adversely affect the Company’s relationships with customers who may perceive the Company’s business less favorably, which would have a detrimental effect on such relationships.

 

Furthermore, if the Class A Ordinary Shares were no longer listed on Nasdaq, it may reduce the Company’s access to capital and cause the Company to have less flexibility in responding to its capital requirements. Certain institutional investors may also be less interested or prohibited from investing in the Class A Ordinary Shares, which may cause the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.

 

However, there can be no assurance that Proposal No. 3, if effected and completed, will result in the intended benefits, such as increasing the trading price of the Class A ordinary shares or maintaining the continued listing of the Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq.

 

Registration and Trading of our Class A Ordinary Shares

 

The Share Consolidation will not affect the registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares or the Company’s obligation to publicly file financial statements and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If and when the Share Consolidation is implemented, the Class A Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a post-split basis on the effective date. In connection with the Share Consolidation, the CUSIP number of the Class A Ordinary Shares (which is an identifier used by participants in the securities industry to identify our Class A ordinary shares) will change.

 

7

 

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional Shares shall be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation and all fractional Shares (after aggregating all fractional Shares that would otherwise be received by a shareholder) resulting from the Share Consolidation will instead be rounded up to the whole number of Shares.

 

Authorised Share Capital

 

At the time the Share Consolidation is effective, the Company’s authorised share capital will be consolidated at the same ratio meaning there will be a reduction in the authorized share capital of the Company by a factor between 2 and 100.

 

Street Name Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares

 

The Company intends for the Share Consolidation to treat shareholders holding Class A Ordinary Shares in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Should the Board of Directors determines the effective time of the Share Consolidation, nominees will be instructed to effect the Share Consolidation for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures. Accordingly, shareholders holding Class A Ordinary Shares in street name should contact their nominees.

 

Share Certificates

 

Should the Board of Directors choose to effect the Share Consolidation, the Company’s transfer agent will adjust the record books of the Company to reflect the Share Consolidation as of the effective time.

 

RESOLUTION TO BE VOTED UPON

 

The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows:
