SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

 

PROSPECTUS DATED        , 2021

 

 

 

Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd. 

 

$4,000,000 Convertible Notes

653,061 Warrants

 

Pursuant to this prospectus, we are offering (the “Offering”) (i) US$2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6% convertible note due August 5, 2022 (the “First Note”); (ii) US$2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6% convertible note to be issued upon or shortly after the effectiveness of this Prospectus and due on the one-year anniversary of the issuance date (the “Second Note”, and together with the First Note, the “Notes”); and (iii) warrants to purchase 653,061 Ordinary Share (the “Warrants”), to YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”).

 

The Notes have a conversion price of the lower of (1) US$3.675 per Ordinary Shares; or (2) 90% of the lowest daily VWAP (the dollar volume-weighted average price for ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market) during the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination, but not lower than US$1.00 per Ordinary Share or any reset lowest price as applicable (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification, and future issuance of Ordinary Shares. The Principal and the interest payable under the First Note and the Second Note will mature on August 5, 2022 and the one year anniversary of the issuance date, respectively, (each, the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted or redeemed by us. At any time before the Maturity Date, the Investor may convert the Notes at their option into our Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price.

 

We have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Note prior to the Maturity Date at a cash redemption price equal to the outstanding Principal balance to be redeemed, plus the application redemption premium and plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any; provided that the trading price of the Ordinary Shares is less than US3.675 per Ordinary Shares, and we provide the holder of the Note at least 15 business days’ prior written notice of our desire to exercise an Optional Redemption. The holder shall have the right to elect to convert all or any part of the Notes after receiving a redemption notice, in which case the redemption amount shall be reduced by the amount so converted.

 

The Warrants grant the holder the right to purchase an aggregate of 653,061 Ordinary Shares. Each Warrant will have an exercise price of US$3.675 per ordinary share, exercisable commencing on the date of issuance and will expire in five years from the date of issuance.

 

This prospectus also covers the sale of ordinary shares issuable to the Investor upon (i) the conversion or redemption of the Notes; and (ii) the exercise of the Warrants. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the Investor, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page 17.

 

Our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PBTS”. On September 27, 2021, the closing price for our ordinary share on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.33 per ordinary share.

 

 

 

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct a substantial majority of our operations through our operating entities established in the People’s Republic of China, which are our indirect subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus supplement, “we”, “us”, “our company”, “our”, or “PBTS” refers to Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd., and its subsidiaries. Because of our corporate structure, we are subject to risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government on U.S. listed companies. We may also subject to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, including Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations, which will result in a material change in our financial performance and our results of operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares, and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

In addition, we are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with our operations in China. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes subject to interpretation of the competent authorities, which may result in a material change in our subsidiaries’ operations, significant depreciation of the value of our ordinary shares, or a complete hinderance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. We do not expect to be subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) if the draft Measures for Cybersecurity Censorship become effective as they are published, since: (i) our products and services are offered not directly to individual consumers; (ii) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (iii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. Please refer to “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in China” of the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated July 13, 2021 for more details.

 

The Notes and Warrants offered in this prospectus are those of Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd., our Cayman Islands holding company.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  Before making an investment decision, please read “Risk Factors” and any other risk factors included in this prospectus and our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC and any accompanying prospectus supplements and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

 

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

This prospectus does not constitute, and there will not be, an offering of securities to the public in the Cayman Islands.

You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus or the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

Our Company

 

We are a provider of software application and technology solutions and services to corporate and government customers primarily located in China. We introduced global trade software applications when we launched our operations in 1997 with a vision to make global trade operations easier for our customers. Since our inception, we have continued to innovate by developing technologies that enable us to successfully deliver a series of solutions and services that address the evolving and changing needs of our corporate and government customers. Our mission is to make global trade easier by empowering all players in the ecosystem.

 

Our customers are corporate and government organizations engaged in global trade. Our corporate customers are import and export companies, manufacturers engaged in international trade, as well as logistics and other service providers. Our government customers include customs and other government agencies that oversee the flow of goods and services across borders, as well as government authorities and organizations that manage and operate free trade and bonded trade zones, ports and terminals, and other international trade facilities.

  

Global trade involves complicated and cumbersome processing, manual handling of voluminous documents, extended and complex cross-organization workflows as well as a great number of business and government players in the global trade ecosystem. We estimated that a typical process for an export shipment in China may involve one exporter, eight government agencies and authorities as well as 12 various logistics and financial service providers with more than 60 people engaged in 13 different work processes that generate more than 55 regulatory compliance and trade logistics documents and 150 information or message exchanges.

 

Our customers are facing more challenges as the world’s trade ecosystems continue to grow in size and complexity. Costs associated with global trade, such as logistics performance, border control and international connectivity remain high. Potential savings from more collaborative and efficient trade processes could reduce the costs of global trade significantly. The need for greater efficiency and cost savings are driving the transformative shift for participants in global trade to become more connected and collaborative.

 

Our comprehensive and robust solutions and services include Powerbridge System Solutions and Powerbridge SaaS Services with more than 40 solutions and services deployable on premise and in the cloud. Leveraging our deep domain knowledge and strong industry experience, we provide a series of differentiated and robust solutions and services that address the mission critical needs of our corporate and government customers, enabling them to handle and simplify the complexities of global trade operations, logistics and compliance.

 

We provide Powerbridge System Solutions to our corporate and government customers who engaged in global trade, including businesses and manufacturers across a broad range of industries, government agencies and regulatory authorities, as well as global trade logistics and other service providers. Powerbridge System Solutions enable our customers to streamline their trade operations, trade logistics and regulatory compliance, consisting of Trade Enterprise Solutions and Trade Compliance Solutions which have been in service since our first introduction twenty years ago and Import & Export Loan and Insurance Processing which have recently been introduced to a selected group of customers. We believe Powerbridge System Solutions provide the following core benefits to our customers:

 

  Import and export businesses and manufacturers in diverse vertical industries use our Trade Enterprise Solutions to manage business operations, simplify trade processes, reduce document handling, minimize operational cost and increase overall productivity.

 

  Our Trade Compliance Solutions enable government agencies and regulatory authorities greater control and security, better use of resources, higher duty collection, faster processing time and higher compliance efficiency in servicing global trade businesses and logistics service providers.

 

 

Our newly introduced Import & Export Loan and Insurance Processing is designed to facilitate and streamline global trade related loan and insurance processes. It enables businesses, financial and insurance service involved in global trade to reduce workflow complexity, processing time and operational cost while increase processing efficiency.

 

1

 

 

We began offering our Powerbridge SaaS Services (software-as-a-service) in 2016 and are continually developing and expanding our SaaS services that provide our corporate and government customers with significant benefits, including better use of resources, a lower cost of operations, easier document handling, faster processing time as well as higher logistics and compliance connectivity and efficiency. Powerbridge SaaS Services include Logistics Service Cloud and Trade Zone Operations Cloud which are in service, and Inward Processed Manufacturing Cloud, Cross-Border eCommerce Cloud and Import & Export Loan and Insurance Processing Service Cloud which are in development. We believe Powerbridge SaaS Services encompass the following core advantages:

 

  Lower total cost of ownership. Unlike the traditional software model, our on-demand services enable our customers to have access anytime and anywhere without the upfront spending in software and hardware.

 

  Rapid deployment and configuration. Our services are designed to be deployed and configured rapidly through our application programming interfaces.

 

  Flexible and scalable. Our flexible and extensible architecture enables us to offer services that are scalable and adjustable to quickly address the different needs of our diverse group of customers.

 

  Reliable and secure. Our multi-tenant and microservice technology architectures allow us to design our services to provide our customers with a high level of performance, reliability and security.

 

 

Intuitive and ease of use. Our services are designed to be intuitive and easy to use with interfaces that are simple and user friendly. Our users are able to learn and use our services without specialized trainings.

 

We have begun offering our cloud-based Powerbridge BaaS Services (blockchain-as-a-service) with designated use case for limited government customer in June 2019 and we have generated limited revenue from it. We continue to develop our BaaS Services for market commercialization. Blockchain technology is emerging as a major disruptive force across many industries including those involved in global trade. We believe that blockchain technology could allow our customers to conduct business in more synchronized and collaborative ways to substantially increase operational efficiency and reduce trade costs across the global trade supply chain. 

 

Our solutions and services are built from our multiple proprietary technology platforms which are developed based on industry leading open source infrastructure technologies. Our technology platforms include Powerbridge System Platform and Powerbridge SaaS Platform, which are designed for high-performance reliability, flexibility and scalability, allowing us to expand our solutions and services rapidly and efficiently to consistently address the needs of our corporate and government customers. Our Powerbridge BaaS Platform became available in June 2019.

 

We currently derive our revenues from three sources: (i) revenue from application development services generated from Powerbridge System Solutions, which require us to perform services including project planning, project design, application development and system integration based on customers’ specific needs. These services also require significant production and customization; (ii) revenue from consulting and technical support services primarily generated from Powerbridge System Solutions; and (iii) revenue from subscription services generated from Powerbridge SaaS Services. We currently generate most of our revenues from application development services, which represented 78.2% and 82.5% of the total revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from consulting and technical support services represented 16.5% and 14.2% of the total revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from subscription services represented 5.3% and 3.3% of the total revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, our revenues were US$20.1 million and US$26.7 million, respectively.

 

Our customers include: (i) international trade businesses and manufacturers; (ii) government agencies and authorities; and (iii) logistics and other various service providers. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we generated revenue from a total of 602 customers, of which 373 are international trade businesses and manufacturers, 33 are government agencies and authorities, and 196 are logistics and other service providers. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we generated revenue from a total of 488 customers, of which 312 are international trade businesses and manufacturers, 29 are government agencies and authorities, and 147 are logistics and other service providers.

 

We generate a significant portion of our revenues from a relatively small number of major customers. For the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 25.7% of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2019, two customers accounted for 21.8% and 10.7% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we had a total of 236 full-time employees, of which 106 are in research and development, 39 are in sales and marketing, 52 are in technical and customer services, and 39 are in general and administration.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our ordinary shares involves risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in our ordinary shares, you should consider carefully all of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including any risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in any supplements to this prospectus and in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as amended to date, and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. Each of the referenced risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. Additional risks not known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition and the value of an investment in our securities.

 

Save as the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on July 13, 2022, we are also subject to additional risk factors in relation to our corporate structure and business operations as set forth below:

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

 

Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of PRC Foreign Investment Law and how it may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.

 

On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, which took effect on January 1, 2020 and replaced three existing laws on foreign investments in China, namely, the PRC Equity Joint Venture Law, the PRC Cooperative Joint Venture Law and the Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. The Foreign Investment Law embodies an expected PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic invested enterprises in China. The Foreign Investment Law establishes the basic framework for the access to, and the promotion, protection and administration of foreign investments in view of investment protection and fair competition.

 

According to the Foreign Investment Law, “foreign investment” refers to investment activities directly or indirectly conducted by one or more natural persons, business entities, or otherwise organizations of a foreign country (collectively referred to as “foreign investor”) within China, and the investment activities include the following situations: (i) a foreign investor, individually or collectively with other investors, establishes a foreign-invested enterprise within China; (ii) a foreign investor acquires stock shares, equity shares, shares in assets, or other like rights and interests of an enterprise within China; (iii) a foreign investor, individually or collectively with other investors, invests in a new project within China; and (iv) investments in other means as provided by laws, administrative regulations, or the State Council.

 

According to the Foreign Investment Law, the State Council will publish or approve to publish the “negative list” for special administrative measures concerning foreign investment. The Foreign Investment Law grants national treatment to foreign-invested entities, (“FIEs”), except for those FIEs that operate in industries deemed to be either “restricted” or “prohibited” in the “negative list”. Because the “negative list” has yet to be published, it is unclear whether it will differ from the current Special Administrative Measures for Market Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List). The Foreign Investment Law provides that FIEs operating in foreign restricted or prohibited industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant PRC governmental authorities. If a foreign investor is found to invest in any prohibited industry in the “negative list”, such foreign investor may be required to, among other aspects, cease its investment activities, dispose of its equity interests or assets within a prescribed time limit and have its income confiscated. If the investment activity of a foreign investor is in breach of any special administrative measure for restrictive access provided for in the “negative list”, the relevant competent department shall order the foreign investor to make corrections and take necessary measures to meet the requirements of the special administrative measure for restrictive access.

The PRC government will establish a foreign investment information reporting system, according to which foreign investors or foreign-invested enterprises shall submit investment information to the competent department for commerce concerned through the enterprise registration system and the enterprise credit information publicity system, and a security review system under which the security review shall be conducted for foreign investment affecting or likely affecting the state security.

 

Furthermore, the Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign invested enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain their structure and corporate governance within five years after the implementing of the Foreign Investment Law.

 

In addition, the Foreign Investment Law also provides several protective rules and principles for foreign investors and their investments in the PRC, including, among others, that a foreign investor may freely transfer into or out of China, in Renminbi or a foreign currency, its contributions, profits, capital gains, income from disposition of assets, royalties of intellectual property rights, indemnity or compensation lawfully acquired, and income from liquidation, among others, within China; local governments shall abide by their commitments to the foreign investors; governments at all levels and their departments shall enact local normative documents concerning foreign investment in compliance with laws and regulations and shall not impair legitimate rights and interests, impose additional obligations onto FIEs, set market access restrictions and exit conditions, or intervene with the normal production and operation activities of FIEs; except for special circumstances, in which case statutory procedures shall be followed and fair and reasonable compensation shall be made in a timely manner, expropriation or requisition of the investment of foreign investors is prohibited; and mandatory technology transfer is prohibited.

 

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S exchanges, however, if our holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchange, we will not be able to continue listing on any U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.

 

The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, properties and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.

 

As such, our business segments may be subject to various government and regulatory oversight in the provinces in which we operate. We could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply.

 

Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to make registered offering on a U.S. exchange in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although we are currently not required to obtain permission from the PRC government or any local government to obtain such permission and have not received any denial to make registered offering on a U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry. Such risk could result in significant depreciation of the value of our ordinary shares, or a complete hinderance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Recent regulatory initiatives implemented by the PRC competent government authorities on cyberspace data security may have introduced uncertainty in our business operations and compliance status.

 

Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the Opinions, which was made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, which required that, any data processing operators controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities. However, the revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review is in the process of being formulated and the Opinions remain unclear on how it will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. Thus, it is still uncertain how PRC governmental authorities will regulate overseas listing in general and whether we are required to obtain any specific regulatory approvals. Furthermore, if the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors.

The recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.

 

The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors in our stock to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

 

On April 21, 2020, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and PCAOB Chairman William D. Duhnke III, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.

 

On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in “Restrictive Market”; (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or board of director for Restrictive Market companies; and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditors.

 

On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or controlled by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national exchange. On December 2, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was signed into law.

 

On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the Act. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The SEC will implement a process for identifying such a registrant and any such identified registrant will be required to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction, and will also require disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such a registrant.

 

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two.

 

Our current auditor, Onestop Assurance PAC, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, is an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, and subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Onestop Assurance PAC is headquartered in the Singapore and is subject to inspection by the PCAOB on a regular basis.

 

The recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. It remains unclear what the SEC’s implementation process related to the March 2021 interim final amendments will entail or what further actions the SEC, the PCAOB or Nasdaq will take to address these issues and what impact those actions will have on U.S. companies that have significant operations in the PRC and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange. In addition, the March 2021 interim final amendments and any additional actions, proceedings, or new rules resulting from these efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could create some uncertainty for investors, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected. Trading of our securities may be prohibited and, as a result, we could be delisted. If we and our auditor are unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirements or we are required to engage a new audit firm, any such determination would require significant expenses and management time.

The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.

 

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals to obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) , prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.

 

Our PRC counsel has advised us that, based on our understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations, the CSRC’s approval is not required for the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq in the context of this offering, given that: (i) our PRC subsidiaries were incorporated as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise by means of direct investment rather than by merger or acquisition of equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals, as defined under the M&A Rules, that are our beneficial owners; (ii) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to the M&A Rules; and (iii) no provision in the M&A Rules clearly classifies contractual arrangements as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules.

 

However, our PRC counsel has further advised us that there remain some uncertainties as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. If it is determined that CSRC approval is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to seek CSRC approval for this offering. These sanctions may include fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limitations on our operating privileges in the PRC, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrictions on, or prohibition of, the payments or remittance of dividends by our PRC subsidiary, or other actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ordinary shares. Furthermore, the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of, and prior to the settlement and delivery of, the ordinary shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur.

 

It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.

 

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Accordingly, without governmental approval in China, no entity or individual in China may provide documents and information relating to securities business activities to overseas regulators when it is under direct investigation or evidence discovery conducted by overseas regulators. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

REGULATIONS

 

A summary of the current major PRC laws and regulations that are relevant to our business and operation is included in “Item 3. Key Information—Regulation” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, that are incorporated herein by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, set forth below are certain recent major PRC laws and regulations that are relevant to our business and operation.

 

Regulation under the PRC Securities Law

 

The PRC Securities Law was promulgated in December 1998 and was subsequently revised in August 2004, October 2005, June 2013, August 2014 and December 2019. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. While there is no detailed interpretation regarding the rule implementation under Article 177, it will be difficult for an overseas securities regulator to conduct investigation or evidence collection activities in China.

 

Regulations on Internet Privacy

 

In recent years, the PRC governmental authorities have enacted legislation on internet use to protect personal information from any unauthorized disclosure. The PRC law does not prohibit ICP operators from collecting and analyzing personal information of their users. However, the Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services prohibit an ICP operator from insulting or slandering a third party or infringing the lawful rights and interests of a third party. Pursuant to the Decision on Strengthening Network Information Protection promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in 2012, ICP operators that provide electronic messaging services must keep users’ personal information confidential and must not disclose such personal information to any third parties without the users’ consent or unless required by law. The regulations further authorize the relevant telecommunications authorities to order ICP operators to rectify unauthorized disclosure. ICP operators are subject to legal liabilities if the unauthorized disclosure results in damages or losses to users. When relevant competent departments perform their duties to prevent, stop, investigate and deal with the illegal and criminal acts of stealing or illegally obtaining, selling or illegally providing citizens' personal electronic information to others, as well as other illegal and criminal acts of network information according to law, ICP operators shall cooperate and provide technical support. In December 2011, the MIIT promulgated the Several Provisions on Regulating the Market Order of Internet Information Services, which became effective in March 2012. Without obtaining the consent from the users, telecommunication business operators and ICP operators may not collect or use the users’ personal information. The personal information collected or used in the course of provision of services by the telecommunication business operators or ICP operators must be kept in strict confidence, and may not be divulged, tampered with or damaged, and may not be sold or illegally provided to others. The ICP operators are required to take certain measures to prevent any divulge, damage, tamper or loss of users’ personal information.

 

In December 2012, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the PRC issued the Decision on Strengthening the Protection of Online Information. Under this decision, ICP operators are required to take such technical and other measures necessary to safeguard information against inappropriate disclosure. To further implement this decision and the relevant rules, MIIT issued the Regulation of Protection of Telecommunication and Internet User Information in 2013.

 

In November 2016, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress issued the Cyber Security Law, which came into effect on June 1, 2017. The Cyber Security Law imposes certain data protection obligations on network operators, including that network operators may not disclose, tamper with, or damage users’ personal information that they have collected, and that they are obligated to delete unlawfully collected information and to amend incorrect information. Moreover, internet operators may not provide users’ personal information to others without consent. Exempted from these rules is information irreversibly processed to preclude identification of specific individuals. Also, the Cyber Security Law imposes breach notification requirements that will apply to breaches involving personal information.

On April 10, 2019, the Cyber Security and Protection Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the Beijing Internet Industry Association and the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the Internet Personal Information Security Protection Guide, or the Guide. The Guide is applicable to enterprises that provide services through the internet, as well as organizations or individuals who use a private or non-networked environment to control and process personal information. This indicates that in addition to the traditional internet companies, companies or individuals in other fields, as long as they involve the control and processing of personal information, are all in the scope of the Guide. The Guide imposes higher requirements on the collection of personal information by personal information holders. For example, the Guide states that personal information that is not related to the services provided by personal information holders should not be collected, and personal information should not be forced to be collected by bundling products or various business functions of the service.

 

In November 2019, the Secretary Bureau of the Cyberspace Administration of China, the General Office of the MIIT, the General Office of the Ministry of Public Security and the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the Notice on the Measures for the Determination of the Collection and Use of Personal Information by Apps in Violation of Laws and Regulations, or the Notice, which came into effect on November 28, 2019. According to the Notice, if the personal information solicited by an app for a new service function is beyond the scope of a user’s original consent, it is a violation of law for the app to refuse to provide the original service function if the user disagrees with the new scope, unless the new service function is a replacement of the original service function.

 

In April 2020, the Cyberspace Administration of China and certain other PRC regulatory authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective in June 2020. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, operators of critical information infrastructure must pass a cybersecurity review when purchasing network products and services which do or may affect national security. On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, which required that, any data processing operators carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad. The Cyberspace Administration of China has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than 1,000,000 users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments,” The cybersecurity review will also look into the potential national security risks from overseas IPOs. We do not know what regulations will be adopted or how such regulations will affect us and our listing on Nasdaq. In the event that the Cyberspace Administration of China determines that we are subject to these regulations, we may be required to delist from Nasdaq and we may be subject to fines and penalties. On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the NPC promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which became effective on September 1, 2021. The Data Security Law also sets forth the data security protection obligations for entities and individuals handling personal data, including that no entity or individual may acquire such data by stealing or other illegal means, and the collection and use of such data should not exceed the necessary limits. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, CSL and any other cybersecurity and related laws may limit the use and adoption of our products and services and could have an adverse impact on our business. Further, if the enacted version of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review mandates clearance of cybersecurity review and other specific actions to be completed by companies like us, we face uncertainties as to whether such clearance can be timely obtained, or at all.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR SHARE CAPITAL

 

Ordinary Shares

 

Powerbridge was established under the laws of Cayman Islands on July 27, 2018. The original authorized number of ordinary shares was 500,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On August 18, 2018, in order to optimize the Company’s share capital structure, the board of directors approved a reverse share split of the Company’s authorized number of ordinary shares at a ratio of 10-1. After the reverse share split, the Company’s authorized number of ordinary shares became 50,000,000 shares with par value of $0.001 per share and 11,508,747 shares were issued on August 27, 2018 at par value to the original shareholders of Zhuhai Powerbridge Technology Co., Ltd. (“Powerbridge Zhuhai”), the equivalent to share capital of $11,509. On February 10, 2019, the board of directors further approved a reverse share split of the Company’s authorized number of ordinary shares at a ratio of 1-0.6. After the reverse share split, the Company’s authorized number of ordinary shares was 30,000,000 shares with par value of $0.00166667 per share and 6,905,248 shares were issued and outstanding immediately after the reserve share split. The Company believes it is appropriate to reflect these share issuances as nominal share issuance on a retroactive basis similar to share split pursuant to ASC 260. The Company has retroactively adjusted all shares and per share data for all the periods presented.

 

On September 30, 2020, the Company held its 2020 special general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (“A&R M&A”) to increase the authorized share capital. As a result, the Company’s authorized share capital is US$500,000 divided into 300,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.00166667 each, with an increase of an additional 270,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.00166667 each.

 

The Company had 56,273,591, 45,777,318 and 8,967,748 ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Convertible Note

 

The material terms and provisions of the Notes being offered pursuant to this prospectus are summarized below. The Notes are filed as an exhibit to this prospectus and reference is made thereto for a complete description of such Convertible Note.

 

The Notes will become due and payable 12 months from the date of closing and bears an annual interest rate of 6%. The Convertible Note may be converted in full or in part at any time at the option of the holder into our Ordinary Shares. The Conversion Price is at the lower of (a) $3.675 per share or (b) 90.0% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (as reported by Bloomberg) of our Ordinary Shares during the 10 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date, but not lower than $1.00 per share. The Conversion Price and the Floor Price are adjustable upon subdivision or combination of our Ordinary Shares.

 

The principal and the interest payable under the Notes will mature twelve months from the issuance date (the “Maturity Date”) unless earlier converted or redeemed by the Company. At any time before the Maturity Date, the Investor may convert the Notes at its option into ordinary shares of the Company at the Conversion Price. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Notes prior to the Maturity Date at a cash redemption price equal to the outstanding Principal balance to be redeemed, plus the applicable redemption premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that the trading price of the Ordinary Shares is less than the Fixed Conversion Price and the Company provides Investor with at least 15 business days’ prior written notice of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption. The Investor may convert all or any part of the Notes after receiving a redemption notice, in which case the redemption amount shall be reduced by the amount so converted.

 

We do not intend to apply to list the Convertible Note on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system.

EXPERTS

 

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 have been audited by Onestop Assurance PAC, an independent registered public accounting firms, as stated in their report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Such financial statements have been incorporated by reference in this prospectus in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits: (i) political and economic stability; (ii) an effective judicial system; (iii) a favorable tax system; (iv) the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and (v) the availability of professional and support services.

 

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and (ii) Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

 

Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

 

All of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States. All of our officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

19

 

 

Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and DeHeng Law Offices, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us, respectively, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands and China, respectively, would:

 

  recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or

 

  entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP has advised us that it is uncertain whether the courts of the Cayman Islands will allow shareholders of our Company to originate actions in the Cayman Islands based upon securities laws of the United States. In addition, there are uncertainties with regard to Cayman Islands law related to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands company, such as our Company. As the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on making such a determination in relation to judgments obtained from U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws, it is uncertain whether such judgments would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

 

Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP has further advised us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and (e) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

 

DeHeng Law Offices has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedure Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Companies Law does not limit the extent to which a company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Fourth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty of such directors or officers willful default of fraud.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9.   Undertakings

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EX-4.1 2 ea147835ex4-1_powerbridge.htm FORM OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Exhibit 4.1

 

POWERBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.

 

Convertible Note

 

Principal Amount: $2,000,000
Note Issuance Date: August 6, 2021
Note Number: PBTS-2

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, POWERBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of YA II PN, Ltd., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), the amount set out above as the Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date (as defined below), acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate from the date set out above as the Note Issuance Date (the “Issuance Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon an Interest Date (as defined below), the Maturity Date or acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Convertible Note (including all Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) dated as of April 8, 2021 between the Company and YA II PN, Ltd., as such Securities Purchase Agreement has been modified by that certain Closing Statement of even date herewith between the Company and the Holder. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section (14).

 

On the date hereof, the Company and the Holder are entering into a Registration Rights Agreement, which shall set forth, among other things, the Company’s obligations to register the Conversion Shares for sale by the Holder.

 

The Conversion Shares issuable hereunder may be issued in accordance with that certain letter agreement dated as of July 19, 2021 between the Company and Transhare Corp., of which the Holder is a third party beneficiary.

 

(1) GENERAL TERMS

 

(a) Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal, accrued and unpaid Interest, and any other amounts outstanding pursuant to the terms of this Note. The “Maturity Date” shall be August 5, 2022, as may be extended at the option of the Holder. Other than as specifically permitted by this Note, the Company may not prepay or redeem any portion of the outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest.

 

(b) Interest Rate and Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding Principal balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 6% (“Interest Rate”), which Interest Rate shall increase to an annual rate of 15% upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event or an Event of Default. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

(c) Triggering Event. If, any time after the Issuance Date, and from time to time thereafter, the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for a period of 15 Trading Days during any 20 consecutive Trading Day period (each such occurrence, a “Triggering Event”), then the Interest Rate shall automatically increase to an annual rate of 15%. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred, the Interest Rate shall return to the rate set forth in Section 1(b) if any time after a Triggering Event the daily VWAP is greater than the Floor Price for a period of 15 consecutive Trading Days, unless a subsequent Triggering Event occurs. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event at any time this Note is outstanding, the Company shall be obligated to reduce (but not increase) the Floor Price (which reduced Floor Price shall be referred to as a reset Floor Price) on one or more occasions. Each reset Floor Price shall be reduced by the Company to a price equal to 80% of the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Company establishes any reset Floor Price. The Company obligations to establish any reset Floor Price shall include: (i) resetting the Floor Price as set forth in this Section, (ii) taking all steps necessary to admit the Conversion Shares for trading on the Principal Market, and (iii) making any securities filings necessary with the SEC and taking any additional actions necessary to ensure that the Conversion Shares to be issued by the Company to the Buyer upon conversion (at any time any reset Floor Price is then in effect) shall be registered with the SEC for sale by the Buyer and issuable upon conversion by the Buyer without restrictive legends or any other restrictions on sale by the Buyer, subject to Section 4(c) hereof. The Company shall establish any reset Floor Price within 30 days of the Buyer delivering written notice to the Company of a Triggering Event, the failure of which shall be an Event of Default hereunder.

 

 

 

(2) Early Redemption. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem (“Optional Redemption”) early a portion or all amounts outstanding under this Note as described in this Section; provided that (i) the trading price of the Ordinary Shares is less than the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) the Company provides the Holder with at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Redemption Notice”) of its desire to exercise an Optional Redemption on the date fixed for early redemption in such notice (“Redemption Date”). Each Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note to be redeemed and the applicable Redemption Premium. The “Redemption Amount” shall be equal to the outstanding Principal balance being redeemed by the Company, plus the applicable Redemption Premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. After receipt of the Redemption Notice, the Holder shall have until the Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date to elect to convert all or any portion of the Note. On the Redemption Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the Redemption Amount with respect to the Principal amount redeemed after giving effect to conversions effected during such period.

 

(3) EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

 

(a) An “Event of Default”, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

(i) the Company’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest, or other amounts when and as due under this Note within five (5) Business Days after such payment is due;

No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

(4) CONVERSION. This Note shall be convertible into the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (4).

 

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section (4)(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section (4)(b), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). Upon each conversion and upon receipt of the appropriate notice from the Holder as set forth in Section (4)(b)(i) herein, the Company shall issue the applicable Ordinary Shares to the Holder. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section (4)(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”). No fraction of an Ordinary share will be delivered upon any conversion. All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.00166667. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round such fraction of a share up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

 

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal and accrued Interest to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.

 

(ii) “Conversion Price” means as of any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of determination, a price per share equal to the lower of: (i) $3.675 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (ii) 90% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of determination (the “Variable Conversion Price”), but not lower than the Floor Price or any reset Floor Price (as applicable). The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Note.

 

4

 

 

(b) Mechanics of Conversion.

 

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Ordinary Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section (4)(b)(iii), surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall, except in the event of Holder’s Breach of Sales Limitation, cause the issuance of the underlying Ordinary Shares and (X) if legends are not required to be placed on the shares certificates and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, instruct the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal and Custodian system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a share certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and regulations of the Commission. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive Ordinary Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.

 

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. Except in the event of Holder’s Breach of Sales Limitation, if within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue the underlying Ordinary Shares and cause the issuance and deliver a share certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Ordinary Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased (the Buy-In Price), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Ordinary Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Ordinary Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Ordinary Shares, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

 

5

 

 

(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon partial conversion.

 

(c) Limitations on Conversions.

 

(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or otherwise receive Ordinary Shares hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such Ordinary Shares, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of Ordinary Shares it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of Ordinary Shares representing beneficial ownership in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares without regard to any other Ordinary Shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the Principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder, provided however, upon the request of the Company, the Holder shall report its holdings in Ordinary Shares to the Company. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a Principal amount of this Note that would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum Principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and any Principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note.

 

6

 

 

(ii) Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Note, or otherwise, if the issuance of such Ordinary Shares would exceed the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the Company may issue in connection with any related transactions that may be considered part of the same series of transactions, would exceed the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of NASDAQ and shall be referred to as the Exchange Cap (which is 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares) and shall be referred to as the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains the approval of its shareholders as required by the applicable rules of the NASDAQ for issuances of shares in excess of such amount or (B) invokes the home country exemption and obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company, to the extent required by the NASDAQ, that it may follow its home country practice, and therefore, such approval is not required. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, reverse share split or similar transaction.

 

(d) Other Provisions.

 

(i) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Ordinary Shares the full number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Note; and within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of Underlying Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares to comply with such requirement.

 

(ii) All calculations under this Section (4) shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.

 

(iii) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section (3) herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

(5) Adjustments to Conversion Price

 

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Ordinary Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, issues or sells any Ordinary Shares or Convertible Securities other than Excluded Securities, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Fixed Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (such price the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price. For the purposes hereof, if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.

7

 

 

(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a share dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares which results in an increase in the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, (b) subdivide its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of Ordinary Shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares, or (d) issue additional Ordinary Shares by reclassification of Ordinary Shares or any shares of share capital of the Company, then each of the Fixed Conversion Price and the Floor Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding after such event (c) of this Section. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section (5) but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note. If the Company issues any Convertible Securities with a variable conversion formula that is more favorable than this Note, then at the option of the Holder, the Variable Conversion Price formula shall be changed to match that of the new Convertible Securities.

 

(d) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for Ordinary Shares (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the Ordinary Shares receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such Ordinary Shares had such shares been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the Ordinary Shares otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to the Ordinary Shares) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

 

8

 

 

(e) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section (5) hereof, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(6) REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.

 

(a) Transfer. This Note may be transferred to a party affiliated with the Holder at any time and may be transferred to a party not affiliated with the Holder only after the reasonable determination by the Company that such transfer would not cause the Company to be out of compliance any of the requirements of the applicable securities laws and regulations. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder (along with any accrued and unpaid interest thereof) and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section (4)(b)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

 

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note.

(c) Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in accordance with Section (6)(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Note, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.

 

(d) Issuance of New Notes. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section (6)(a) or Section (6)(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the Principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from the Issuance Date.

POWERBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, YA II PN, LTD. (the “Holder”), the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns, is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company upon surrender of this Warrant, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) up to 653,061 fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares (as defined herein) of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) at the exercise price per share provided in Section 1(b) below or as subsequently adjusted; provided, however, that in no event shall the holder be entitled to exercise this Warrant for a number of Warrant Shares in excess of that number of Warrant Shares which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares following such exercise, except within sixty (60) days of the Expiration Date (however, such restriction may be waived by Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company). For purposes of the foregoing proviso, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such proviso is being made, but shall exclude Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrants beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or preferred stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares a holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 6-K or Form 20-F, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written request of any holder, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day following the receipt of such notice, confirm in writing to any such holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the exercise of Warrants (as defined below) by such holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported.

Eastern Time on the Expiration Date (i) by delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), of such holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased, payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price(s) applicable to the Warrant Shares being purchased, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares (at the applicable Warrant Exercise Price) as to which this Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds and the surrender of this Warrant (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Warrant in the case of its loss, theft or destruction) to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date (“Cash Basis”) or (ii) if at the time of exercise, the Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective registration statement or if an Event of Default has occurred, by delivering an Exercise Notice and in lieu of making payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash or wire transfer, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Ordinary Shares determined according to the following formula (the “Cashless Exercise”):

(c) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or shall have been fully exercised, the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant identical in all respects to this Warrant exercised except it shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such Warrant is exercised.

 

5

 

(d) No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon any pro rata exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise of this Warrant shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

 

(e) If the Company or its Transfer Agent shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the holder within ten (10) days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled or to credit the holder’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company for such number of Warrant Shares to which the holder is entitled upon the holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies under this Warrant or otherwise available to such holder, pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day the issuance of such certificate for Warrant Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 0.025% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Warrant Shares not issued to the holder on a timely basis and to which the holder is entitled, and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Ordinary Shares to the holder without violating this Section 2.

 

(f) If within ten (10) days after the Company’s receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Company fails to deliver a new Warrant to the holder for the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2 hereof, then, in addition to any other available remedies under this Warrant, or otherwise available to such holder, the Company shall pay as additional damages in cash to such holder on each day after such tenth (10th) day that such delivery of such new Warrant is not timely effected in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares represented by the portion of this Warrant which is not being exercised and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares for the trading day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Warrant to the holder without violating this Section 2.

 

Section 3. Covenants as to Ordinary Shares. The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a) This Warrant is, and any Warrants issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant will upon issuance be, duly authorized and validly issued.

 

(b) All Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

(c) During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved at least one hundred percent (100%) of the number of Ordinary Shares needed to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price. If at any time the Company does not have a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares authorized and available, then the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of its shareholders within sixty (60) days of that time for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized Ordinary Shares.

 

6

 

(d) The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the holder of this Warrant in order to protect the exercise privilege of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company will not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

(e) This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

Section 4. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

Section 5. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of shares, reclassification of shares, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the shareholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the shareholders.

Section 6. Representations of Holder. The holder of this Warrant, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act. The holder of this Warrant further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”). Upon exercise of this Warrant the holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that such holder is an Accredited Investor. If such holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to such holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.

 

Section 7. Ownership and Transfer.

 

(a) The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.

 

Section 8. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price. The Warrant Exercise Price of this

Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Issuance of Ordinary Shares. If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares (other than Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share.

 

(b) Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Issuance of Options. If after the date hereof, the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Ordinary Shares upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities.

 

8

 

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such convertible securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Ordinary Shares is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Ordinary Shares upon the issuance or sale of the convertible security and upon conversion or exchange of such convertible security. No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, and if any such issue or sale of such convertible securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 

(iii) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted. For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or convertible security and the Ordinary Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.

 

9

 

(iv) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or convertible securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.

 

(v) Integrated Transactions. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $.01.

 

(vi) Treasury Shares. The number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

(vii) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or in convertible securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

(c) Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Ordinary Shares. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Ordinary Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

10

 

(d) Distribution of Assets. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i) any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Ordinary Shares, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary Shares on the trading day immediately preceding such record date.

 

(e) Certain Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(c),that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(e) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.

 

(f) Voluntary Adjustments By Company. The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Reference is made to the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

This Closing Statement shall constitute the agreement between the Company and the Buyer regarding the payment and disbursement of the purchase price to be paid by the Buyer to the Company at the Second Closing under the Purchase Agreement for the second Convertible Note (the “Second Note”) with an original face value of $2.0 million. The Company hereby confirms to the Buyer that the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit “A” are true and correct and that the Buyer is entitled to rely upon such wire instructions without recourse to the Buyer or any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such wire instructions.

 

Subsequent to the parties entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company determined that it was no longer eligible to register the Second Note, the Conversion Shares, the Warrant and the Warrants Shares on its effective registration statement on Form F-3 (File no. 333-253395), which was a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Second Note at the Second Closing.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing and any contrary terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1.The parties agree that the Subscription Amount is hereby increased from $7.0 million to $8.0 million.

 

2.The principal amount of the Second Note is hereby reduced from $3.0 million to $2.0 million.

The terms of the Third Note shall be identical to the terms of the Second Note, including, without limitation, the purchase price, interest rate, maturity date and so forth. The definition of Conversion Shares in the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to include Ordinary Shares underlying the Third Note.

 

5.The closing condition set forth in Section 7(d) of the Purchase Agreement is true and correct as of the date hereof.

 

 

 

 

6.The Company represents and warrants that no default or event of default has occurred under the Purchase Agreement or any Transaction Documents.

 

7.The Buyer hereby waives the closing conditions set forth in Section 7(n)(iv) and (v) of the Purchase Agreement in consideration for the Company entering into RRA pursuant to which the Company agrees, among other things, to file a resale registration statement with respect to the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares to be issued by the Company to the Buyer upon conversion of the Second Note or the Third Note or the exercise of the Warrant.

 

8.The Company’s obligations under Section 4(i) of the Purchase Agreement shall only apply to the initial Convertible Note dated on or about April 9, 2021 in the original principal amount of $4.0 million. Among other things, the Company’s obligations to register and maintain the registration of the Conversion Shares of the Second Note, the Third Note and the Warrant shall be set forth in the RRA.

 

9.The Company and Transhare Corp. (the “TA”), the Company’s transfer agent, entered into a letter agreement (the “LA”) dated as of July 19, 2021 pursuant to which the TA agreed to issue shares to the Buyer upon the Buyer’s conversion of the Convertible Notes, all on the terms more particularly set forth in the LA. The Buyer is a third party beneficiary of the LA.

 

10.On the date hereof, the Company is issuing to the Buyer the Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

11.The Company and the Buyer hereby agree that the Floor Price in the Second Note and the Third Note shall be $1.00 per share, as may be subsequently adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

 

12.All provisions of the Purchase Agreement, except as modified by this Closing Statement, shall remain in full force and effect and all such provisions shall apply to the third Note as if the purchase and sale of the third Note was originally set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

- 2 -

 

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall, on or prior to the Filing Deadline, prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (or such form as the Company shall then be eligible to use in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC) covering the resale by the Investor of Registrable Securities. Each Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Required Registration Amount as of date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC. The Company shall use its best efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 am on the second business day following the date of effectiveness, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, the Company shall furnish a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for their review and comment. The Investor shall furnish comments on the Registration Statement to the Company within twenty-four (24) hours of the receipt thereof from the Company.

 

(c) During the Registration Period, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with a Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, (ii) prepare and file with the SEC additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (iii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iv) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Investors true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to a Registration Statement (provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any Investor which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company); and (v) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 2(c)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 20-F or Form 6-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company shall incorporate such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

 

(d) Reduction of Registrable Securities Included in a Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the SEC requires the Company to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Registration Statement in order to allow the Company to rely on Rule 415 with respect to a Registration Statement, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement (which may be a subsequent Registration Statement if the Company needs to withdraw a Registration Statement and refile a new Registration Statement in order to rely on Rule 415) only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities as the SEC shall permit. Any Registrable Securities that are excluded in accordance with the foregoing terms are hereinafter referred to as “Cut Back Securities.” To the extent Cut Back Securities exist, as soon as may be permitted by the SEC, the Company shall be required to file a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Cut Back Securities (subject also to the terms of this Section) and shall use best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter.

 

(e) Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration Statement or Remain Current. If: (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date, or (ii) a Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to Effectiveness Deadline or the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be “reviewed,” or not subject to further review, or (iii) after the effectiveness, a Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities, except for Cut Back Securities, for which it is required to be effective, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for more than 30 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 40 calendar days during any 12-month period (which need not be consecutive calendar days), or (iv) if after the six month anniversary of the date hereof, the Company does not have available adequate current public information as set forth in Rule 144(c) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”), then in addition to any other rights the holders of the Notes may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company shall be in breach of the term and conditions of this Agreement and such Event shall be deemed an event of default under the Notes.

 

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

 

(a) The Company shall, not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for annual reports on Form 20-F or periodic reports on Form 6-K), furnish to each Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the reasonable and prompt review of such Investors, The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Investors shall reasonably object in good faith; provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than two (2) Trading Days after the Investors have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement.

(b) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) at least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, which are not publicly available through EDGAR, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

 

(c) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its articles of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(c), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(d) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor.

(f) [Reserved]

 

(g) If, after the execution of this Agreement, an Investor believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) any Investor and (ii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”) all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree, and each Investor hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge.

6. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Investors and each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.

 

- 7 -

 

 

(b) In connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, employees, representatives, or agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to each Investor prior to such Investor’s use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one (1) counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

- 8 -

 

 

7. CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

  

8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

 

With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), and as a material inducement to the Investor’s purchase of the Notes, the Company represents, warrants, and covenants to the following:

 

(a) The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months prior to the date hereof (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports), other than Form 8-K reports

 

(b) During the Registration Period, the Company shall file with the SEC in a timely manner all required reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the Exchange Act and the SEC for filing thereunder.

 

(c) The Company shall furnish to the Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who then hold at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to fewer than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities or owns the right to receive the Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two (2) or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

(b) No Piggyback on Registrations.

The Company shall not include any other securities on a Registration Statement unless otherwise agreed by the Investor.

 

(c) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the share option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 10(c) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

 

(d) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered pursuant to the notice provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement or to such other address and/or electronic mail address and/or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to POWERBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) dated as of April 9, 2021, as amended by that certain Closing Statement (the “Closing Statement”) dated as of August 6, 2021, in each case between the Company and the Investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor a convertible note (the “Note”) in the original principal balance of $2.0 million, which Note is convertible into its ordinary shares, par value $0.00166667 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). Pursuant to the SPA and the Closing Statement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ____, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ________ (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Investors as a selling shareholder there under.

 

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

  Very truly yours,

Cayman Islands

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Re: Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd. (the “Company”)

 

We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F1, including all amendments or preliminary or final supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) to date and the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statements dated 30 September 2021 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), relating to the direct registration offering by the Company of (i) US$2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6% convertible note due August 5, 2022 (the “First Note”); (ii) US$2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 6% convertible note to be issued upon or shortly after the effectiveness of the Prospectus Supplement and due one year after the issuance date (the “Second Note”, and together with the First Note, the “Notes”), which Notes are convertible into ordinary shares of par value US$0.00166667 each (“Ordinary Shares”) of the Company on the respective terms of the Notes; and (iii) warrants (the “Warrants”) dated 6 August 2021 to purchase 653,061 Ordinary Shares (the “Warrants”), to YA II PN, Ltd. (the “Investor”).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the following documents:

 

1.1.a copy of the securities purchase agreement dated on April 9, 2021;

Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP has been registered, and operating, as a Cayman Islands limited liability partnership since 1 June 2021 following the conversion of the Cayman Islands firm of Conyers Dill & Pearman to a limited liability partnership on that date.

 

 

 

 

The documents listed at paragraphs 1.1 to 1.3 above are herein referred to as the “Documents” (which term does not include any other instrument or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto). Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this opinion shall bear the respective meanings given to them in the Documents.

 

We have also reviewed:

 

1.4.the Registration Statement;
  
1.5.the Prospectus Supplement;
  
1.6.a copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company;
  
1.7.a copies of the written resolutions of the Company’s directors dated 1 April 2021 and 5 August 2021 (together, the “Resolutions”);
  
1.8.a copy of a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies in relation to the Company on 29 September 2021 (the “Certificate Date”); and
  
1.9.such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

3.2We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Documents which provides for the payment of a specified rate of interest on the amount of a judgment after the date of judgment or which purports to fetter the statutory powers of the Company.

 

3.3We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands.

 

3.4This opinion is issued solely for your benefit and use in connection with the matter described herein and is not to be relied upon by any other person, firm or entity or in respect of any other matter.

 

OPINION

 

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

 

4.1The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (“Act”), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Act.

 

4.2The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Documents and to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statements and the Prospectus Supplement. The execution and delivery of the Documents by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate the Memorandum or Articles of Association of the Company nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the Cayman Islands.

 

4.3The Company has taken all corporate action required to authorise its execution, delivery and performance of the Documents and the allotment and issuance of the Conversion Shares and/or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, in accordance therewith. The Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.4No order, consent, approval, licence, authorisation or validation of or exemption by any government or public body or authority of the Cayman Islands or any sub division thereof is required to authorise or is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Documents.

 

4.5It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability in the Cayman Islands of the Documents that it be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in the Cayman Islands. However, to the extent that the Documents creates a charge over assets of the Company, the Company and its Directors are under an obligation to enter such charge in the Register of Mortgages and Charges of the Company in accordance with section 54 of the Act. While there is no exhaustive definition of a charge under Cayman Islands law, a charge normally has the following characteristics:

 

(a)it is a proprietary interest granted by way of security which entitles the chargee to resort to the charged property only for the purposes of satisfying some liability due to the chargee (whether from the chargor or a third party); and

 

(b)the chargor retains an equity of redemption to have the property restored to him when the liability has been discharged.

 

However, as the Documents are governed by the Foreign Laws, the question of whether it would possess these particular characteristics would be determined under the Foreign Laws.

 

4.6The Documents will be subject to nominal stamp duty if they are executed in or brought into the Cayman Islands but will otherwise not be subject to stamp duty.

 

4.7The choice of the Foreign Laws as the governing law of the Documents is a valid choice of law and would be recognised and given effect to in any action brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the Cayman Islands, except for those laws (a) which such court considers to be procedural in nature, (b) which are revenue or penal laws or (c) the application of which would be inconsistent with public policy, as such term is interpreted under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The submission in the Documents to the jurisdiction of the Foreign Courts is valid and binding upon the Company.

 

4.8The courts of the Cayman Islands would recognise as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon the Documents under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) or, in certain circumstances, an in personam judgment for non-monetary relief, and would give a judgment based thereon provided that (a) such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the Cayman Islands; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the Cayman Islands; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

4.9Based solely upon a search of the electronic Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands conducted at 11:00am on 29 September 2021 (which would not reveal details of (i) proceedings before 1995 or (ii) proceedings between the years 2001-2007 or (iii) proceedings which have been filed but not actually entered in the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands at the time of our search or (iv) counterclaims, third party notices or amendments to pleadings filed prior to 8 December 2008) there are no actions pending against the Company nor any petitions to wind up the Company pending in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to which the Company is subject.

 

4.10There is no income or other tax of the Cayman Islands imposed by withholding or otherwise on any payment to be made to or by the Company pursuant to the Documents.

 

4.11The Company has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

4.12When issued in accordance with the terms set out in the Documents, the Conversion Shares and/or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the captions “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
