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. Beginning with a change in management resulting from a change in control of the Company which occurred at the end of 2018, the Company has explored and initiated operations in a number of business areas related to the pleasure boat industry. These included yacht sales, marine tourism, development of electric powered yachts, development and operation of yacht marinas in Asia and the development of a yacht rental and time share service. The Company is the exclusive distributor of Monte-Fino yachts in Asia and the Middle East, and is the non-exclusive distributor for other territories throughout the world for the places that have no exclusive distributor. Monte Fino is a well-known brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

 

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.

 

The Company determined to focus its efforts on yacht sales in Taiwan and other selected regions throughout the world. 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.
