Your broker or other nominee will vote your shares held by it in “street name” with respect to this matter only if you provide instructions to it on how to vote.

Q: What if I do not vote on the matters relating to the proposals?
A: If you fail to vote or fail to instruct your broker or other nominee how to vote on a non-routine matter, namely the Share Consolidation Proposal or the Name Change Proposal, it will have no effect on the proposal. It will be treated as a “non-vote” and not count toward a quorum.

Q: May I change my vote after I have delivered my proxy or voting instruction card?
A: Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Meeting. You may do this in one of three ways:

2. by logging on to the Internet website specified on your proxy card in the same manner you would submit your proxy electronically or by calling the telephone number specified on your proxy card, in each case if you are eligible to do so and following the instructions on the proxy card; or
3. by attending the Meeting in person at 3rd Floor, Times Fortune Building, 88 Fuhua 3rd Road, Futian District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, People’s Republic of China, and casting your votes.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION PROPOSAL
(ITEM 1 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders, and is hereby soliciting shareholder approval, to effect a Share Consolidation of the Company’s ordinary shares at a ratio of twenty-to-one (the “Share Consolidation”), effective at such date and time as determined by the Board of Directors, but must be on or before September 11, 2023.
Proposal No. 1 will be approved only if it receives the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting assuming a quorum reaches. If our shareholders approve this proposal, our Board of Directors will have the authority to implement the Share Consolidation by filing the relevant Share Consolidation resolution with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies at any time after the approval of the Share Consolidation but on or before September 11, 2023.
The Share Consolidation will be implemented simultaneously for all ordinary shares. The Share Consolidation will affect all shareholders uniformly and will have no effect on the proportionate holdings of any individual shareholder, with the exception of adjustments related to the treatment of fractional shares (see below).
Purpose of the Share Consolidation
The Company’s ordinary shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “METX.” Among other requirements, the listing maintenance standards established by Nasdaq require the ordinary shares to have a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”), if the closing bid price of the ordinary shares is not equal to or greater than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the Company. Thereafter, if the ordinary shares do not close at a minimum bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive business days within 180 calendar days of the deficiency notice, Nasdaq may determine to delist the ordinary shares.
On September 16, 2022, the Company received a written notification from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company’s ordinary shares did not regain compliance with the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement. On March 15, 2023, the Company applied for an additional 180-day compliance period. On March 17, 2023, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until September 11, 2023, to regain compliance.
To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by September 11, 2023, the Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to solicit the approval of the shareholders to effect a share consolidation of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Board of Directors believes that without receiving the shareholders’ approval and without the closing price of the ordinary shares otherwise meeting the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement, the Company’s ordinary shares will be delisted from Nasdaq.
In the event the ordinary shares were no longer eligible for continued listing on Nasdaq, the Company could be forced to seek to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets.” These alternative markets are generally considered to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, Nasdaq, and therefore less desirable. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes delisting of the ordinary shares would likely have a negative impact on the liquidity and market price of the ordinary shares and may increase the spread between the “bid” and “ask” prices quoted by market makers.
7
The Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to the Company of a delisting from Nasdaq and believes that delisting could, among other things, adversely affect (i) the trading price of the ordinary shares, and (ii) the liquidity and marketability of the ordinary shares. This could reduce the ability of holders of the ordinary shares to purchase or sell ordinary shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically.
Delisting could also adversely affect the Company’s relationships with customers who may perceive the Company’s business less favorably, which would have a detrimental effect on the Company’s relationships with these entities.
Furthermore, if the ordinary shares were no longer listed on Nasdaq, it may reduce the Company’s access to capital and cause the Company to have less flexibility in responding to its capital requirements. Certain institutional investors may also be less interested or prohibited from investing in the ordinary shares, which may cause the market price of the ordinary shares to decline.
Registration and Trading of our ordinary shares
The Share Consolidation will not affect the registration of our ordinary shares or our obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). When the Share Consolidation is implemented, our ordinary shares will begin trading on a post-consolidation basis on the effective date that we announce by press release. In connection with the Share Consolidation, the CUSIP number of our ordinary shares (which is an identifier used by participants in the securities industry to identify our ordinary shares) will change.
Fractional Shares
No fractional ordinary shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Share Consolidation. Each shareholder will be entitled to receive one ordinary share in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Share Consolidation.
Authorized Shares
At the time the Share Consolidation is effective, our authorized ordinary shares will be consolidated at the same ratio. The authorized ordinary shares of the Company shall be decreased from 500,000,000 to 25,000,000 as per resolution 1. (A) below.
Street Name Holders of ordinary shares
The Company intends for the Share Consolidation to treat shareholders holding ordinary shares in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Share Consolidation for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures. Accordingly, shareholders holding ordinary shares in street name should contact their nominees.
Stock Certificates
Mandatory surrender of certificates is not required by our shareholders. The Company’s transfer agent will adjust the record books of the Company to reflect the Share Consolidation as of the Effective Date. New certificates will not be mailed to shareholders.
8
Resolution
The Board of Directors proposes to solicit shareholder approval to effect the Share Consolidation. The ordinary resolution be put to the shareholders to consider and to vote upon at the Meeting in relation to the Share Consolidation Proposal is:
1. “IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that:
(A) the 500,000,000 issued and unissued ordinary shares of par value of US$0.003 each in the capital of the Company be and are hereby consolidated into 25,000,000 ordinary shares of nominal or par value of US$0.06 each, with the Share Consolidation effective at such date and time as determined by the Company’s board of directors, which date must be on or before September 11, 2023 and such date shall be announced by the Company (the “Effective Date”); and
(B) at the Effective Date, the authorized share capital of the Company shall be US$1,500,000, divided into 25,000,000 ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.06 each.”
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO APPROVE THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION. UNLESS REVOKED AS PROVIDED ABOVE, PROXIES RECEIVED BY MANAGEMENT WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF SUCH APPROVAL UNLESS A CONTRARY VOTE IS SPECIFIED.
9
PROPOSAL NO. 2
NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL
(ITEM 2 ON THE PROXY CARD)
General

(ITEM 3 ON THE PROXY CARD)

In the event that our shareholders fail to ratify the appointment and the authorization, our audit committee will reconsider its selection. Even if the appointment is ratified, our audit committee in its discretion may recommend the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Resolution

3. “IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the appointment of Audit Alliance LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 be and is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.”
