ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

NOTE- 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

VIVIC CORP. (the “Company” or “VIVC”) was established under the corporate laws of the State of Nevada on February 16, 2017. In December 2018, the Company expanded its business operations to include marine tourism. In addition, the Company entered into the businesses of constructing marinas and constructing yachts in mainland China under the brand “Monte Fino”. Monte Fino is a well-known brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

 

The Company also operates “Joy Wave”(享浪),an online yacht rental and leisure service business in Guangzhou, China. In mainland China and Taiwan, primarily through the Internet, the Company provides third-party yacht and marine tourism services. This marine tourism involves visits to high quality coastal tourist attractions in Taiwan and China including Hainan, Guangdong, Xiamen, and Quanzhou. The field of marine tourism has expanded in recent years as the number of yachts that can be rented has been increased through yacht-sharing programs which make such opportunities available to more customers, though for limited time periods.

 

The Company also seeks to develop energy-saving yacht engines. It believes it has advanced technologies, that can enable it to produce engines that are 50% more efficient than those currently available. This energy-saving and innovative technology may be applied to new energy-saving engines for yachts. This innovative technology may bring favorable changes to the yachting industry and promote low-carbon tourism for global environmental protection.

 

On January 3, 2021, the Company entered into a Joint Venture and Cooperation Agreement to invest in Shenzhen Ocean Way Yachts Services Co., Ltd and its subsidiaries. On March 22, 2022, the Company sold its shares of Ocean Way and its subsidiaries to a third-party for $160,499 (RMB1,080,000).

 

On July 26, 2022, Khashing Yachts Industry (Guangdong) Limited changed its name to Guangdong Weiguan Ship Tech Co., Ltd (“Weiguan Ship”).

 

On July 6, 2022, Zhejiang Jiaxu Yacht Company Limited changed its name to Wenzhou Jiaxu Yacht Company Limited (“Jiaxu”).

 

On August 10, 2022, the noncontrolling shareholder surrendered its 30% of Wenzhou Jiaxu Yacht Company Limited to the Company, and Jiaxu became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company also has a branch in the Republic of China (“ROC” or “Taiwan”), Vivic Corp. Taiwan Branch (“Vivic Taiwan”). It is mainly engaged in yacht procurement, sales, and leasing services in Taiwan and other countries.

 

 

On July 12, 2023, Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“Vivic Hong Kong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Yun-Kuang Kung (Mr. “Kung”, son of Shang-Chiai Kung, the Company’s principal shareholder, President and Chief Executive Officer), pursuant to which Mr. Kung acquired all of the shares of Weiguan Ship. In consideration for its interest in Weiguan Ship, the Company received RMB 1,000 ($137) consideration and the agreement of Mr. Kung to indemnify the Company and its affiliates and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all claims arising out of or related to the business of Weiguan Ship whether arising before or after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, whether currently known or unknown, including, without limitation any claims for taxes.
