PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED [______], 2025

 

GIGABIT INC.

ORDINARY SHARES

 

1,250,000 Ordinary Shares

 

This is the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,250,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of Gigabit Inc. (the “Company”, “us” or “we”). Prior to this IPO, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. It is currently estimated that the initial public offering price per share will be $4.00. Currently, no public market exists for our Ordinary Shares.

 

We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GBH”, subject to meeting all applicable listing standards. At this time, Nasdaq has not yet approved our application to list our Ordinary Shares. The closing of the IPO is conditioned upon Nasdaq’s final approval of our listing application, and there is no guarantee or assurance that our stocks will be approved for listing on Nasdaq. There is no assurance that, if our listing is successful, an active trading market for our Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained. We are a “smaller reporting company” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings.

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer” for more information.

 

We will pay the expenses incurred in registering the shares, including legal and accounting fees. See “Underwriting”.

 

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 and elsewhere in this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our Ordinary Shares. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these shares or determined whether this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The Company will be a “controlled company” under the Corporate Governance Rules of Nasdaq and can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that a majority of its directors be independent, as defined in the Corporate Governance Rules of Nasdaq and the requirement that the compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company consist entirely of independent directors. The Company currently does not intend to rely on these exemptions. However, if the Company decides to rely on exemptions applicable to controlled company under the Corporate Governance Rules of Nasdaq in the future, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. See “Risk Factors — the Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ corporate governance standards and, as a result, will be entitled to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protections to stockholders” and “Controlled Company Exemption.” In addition, upon the consummation of this offering, Teoh Paik Yau will control 66.3% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding voting securities and will be able to control matters requiring shareholder approval, including but not limited to the election of directors, amendment of organizational documents, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets.

 

We are not an operating company, but an offshore holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our operating subsidiary in Malaysia, Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd., or “Gigabit MY”, and its 80% owned subsidiary Gigabit Space Sdn. Bhd, or “Gigabit Space”, and our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong, Gigabit (HK) Limited, or “Gigabit HK”. This is an offering of Ordinary Shares of Gigabit Inc. (the “Shares” or the “Ordinary Shares”), the holding company in the Cayman Islands, instead of the shares of Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK. References to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” in the prospectus are to Gigabit Inc., the Cayman Islands entity that will issue the Shares being offered. Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK are the entities operating the business and generating all revenue and profit stated in the combined financial statements of the Company included elsewhere in this prospectus. The Company owns 100% of Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK, and Gigabit MY owns 80% of Gigabit Space. Investors in our Shares should be aware that they may never hold equity interests in the Malaysia operating companies and Hong Kong operating company directly. Investors are purchasing equity solely in Gigabit Inc., our Cayman Islands holding company, which directly owns all of Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK and indirectly owns 80% of the equity in Gigabit Space. Because of our corporate structure, we as well as our investors are subject to unique risks due to uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of PRC laws and regulations. We are also subject to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government in this regard. We may also be subject to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies including the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations. PRC regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure in the future, and this would likely result in a material change in our operations in China and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares, which could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of this prospectus for a discussion of risks facing the Company and the offering as a result of this structure.

 

There are legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having certain of our operations in Hong Kong. The PRC government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time. Such government actions could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale; could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue our operations; could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors; and may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

 

 

 

The PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. We do not believe that we are directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we do not have a VIE structure. Further, currently, based on our understanding of the PRC laws and regulations, Gigabit HK may provide customers with non-sensitive information when using our products. As of the date of this prospectus, based on our understanding, all the products developed and services provided by the Group are neither sold nor allowed to be published on the network platform in mainland China. As such, we believe that the users do not include natural persons in mainland China, but because the information of the above natural persons is not collected/stored/used/processed by us, therefore, we cannot confirm that these users may include natural persons in mainland China. In the future, if we meet specific circumstances such as providing products or services to natural persons in mainland China, and collect, store and process personal information of natural persons in mainland China, it will be governed by the Personal Information Protection Law of the PRC, which does not exclude the need to comply with it and other relevant provisions. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the 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, or the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations or our ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S. exchange. Any change in foreign investment regulations, and other policies in China or related enforcement actions by China government could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors or cause the value of our Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

 

 

 

Our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from being traded on a national exchange under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years. On December 23, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCA Act”) was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by extending the aforementioned inspection period to from two to three consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB made its determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfils its responsibilities under the HFCA Act. The report further listed in its Appendix A and Appendix B, Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Mainland China Determination and Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Hong Kong Determination, respectively. Our auditor, UHY Malaysia PLT, is headquartered in Malaysia and registered with the PCAOB. Our auditor is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess our auditor’s compliance with the applicable professional standards, with the last inspection occurring in July 2023. In addition, our auditors did not appear as part of the PCAOB’s report of determinations under the lists in Appendix A or Appendix B of the report issued by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. On August 26, 2022, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong and taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. Our auditor, UHY Malaysia PLT, has no auditor’s work papers in China as of the date of this prospectus. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022, and the PCAOB Board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor’s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and has resumed regular inspections since March 2023. The PCAOB is continuing pursuing ongoing investigations and may initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. As a result, the time period before the Company’s securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted has been decreased accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the stock exchange. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. See “Risk Factors — Recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, Nasdaq’s proposed rule changes and the HFCA 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” for further information.

 

 

 

 

We conduct substantially most of our operations in Malaysia through our Malaysia subsidiaries, Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, and we conduct certain of our operations in Hong Kong through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Gigabit HK. Accordingly, substantially all our cash and assets are denominated in Malaysian Ringgit and US Dollars. Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK are our three operating subsidiaries located in Malaysia and Hong Kong. As of the date of this prospectus, Gigabit Inc. and its subsidiaries Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK have not experienced any difficulties or limitations on their ability to transfer cash between each other; they do not maintain cash management policies or procedures dictating the amount of such funding or how funds are transferred. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. See “Risk Factors — We are a holding company and our ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent upon the earnings of, and distributions by, our Hong Kong subsidiary; and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends” on page 27, “Dividend Policy”, “Summary Combined Financial Data”, and “Combined Statements of Change in Shareholders’ Equity in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” for further details.

 

Cash is transferred through our organization in the following manner: (i) funds are transferred to Gigabit MY, our Malaysia operating entity, and Gigabit HK, our Hong Kong operating entity, directly from Gigabit Inc. in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; (ii) dividends or other distributions may be paid by Gigabit Malaysia and Gigabit HK to Gigabit Inc; (iii) funds are transferred to Gigabit Space, a 80% owned subsidiary of Gigabit MY, directly from Gigabit MY in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; and (iv) dividends or other distributions may be paid by Gigabit Space to Gigabit MY. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the only transfer of assets among Gigabit Inc., Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK consisted of cash. On February 20, 2024, Gigabit HK declared constructive dividend of $1,200,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to the individual shareholder before the reorganization referred to in this prospectus. However, Gigabit HK has not declared any dividend to Gigabit Inc., Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, and Gigabit Inc., Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space have not declared any dividend to its shareholders, after the reorganization and up to the date of this prospectus. We do not expect to pay dividends on our Shares in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for operation and business development and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. See “Prospectus Summary – Transfers of Cash through our Organization”

 

As we are a holding company, our ability to make dividend payments, if any, would be contingent upon our receipt of funds from our Malaysia operating subsidiaries Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, and our Hong Kong operating subsidiary Gigabit HK.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

 

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19.

This is in addition to a dealer’s obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as an underwriter and with respect to an unsold allotment or subscription.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus and any related free-writing prospectus that we authorize to be distributed to you. We have not authorized any person, including any underwriter, to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus or any related free-writing prospectus that we authorize to be distributed to you. This prospectus is not an offer to sell, nor is it seeking an offer to buy, our Shares in any state or jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted. The information in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus unless the information specifically indicates that another date applies, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of the Shares offered hereby. Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may have changed since that date. We do not take any responsibility for, nor do we provide any assurance as to the reliability of, any information other than the information in this prospectus and any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor the sale of our Shares means that information contained in this prospectus is correct after the date of this prospectus.

Market and Industry Data

 

This prospectus includes statistics, other data and descriptive information relating to markets, market sizes, and other industry data pertaining to our business that we have obtained from industry publications and surveys, government publications and other information available to us. Industry publications and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. Market data and statistics are inherently predictive and speculative and are not necessarily reflective of actual market conditions. Such statistics are based on market research, which itself is based on sampling and subjective judgments by both the researchers and the respondents, including judgments about what types of products and transactions should be included in the relevant market. In addition, the value of comparisons of statistics for different markets is limited by many factors, including that (i) the markets are defined differently, (ii) the underlying information was gathered by different methods, and (iii) different assumptions were applied in compiling the data. Accordingly, the market statistics included in this prospectus should be viewed with caution. We believe that information from these industry publications included in this prospectus is reliable.

 

Trademarks, Service Marks, and Trade Names

 

Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks, and trade names referred to in this prospectus are without the ® and TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the rights of the applicable licensors to these trademarks, service marks and trade names. This prospectus contains additional trademarks, service marks, and trade names of others, which are the property of their respective owners. We do not intend our use or display of other companies’ trademarks, service marks, or trade names to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other companies.

The Company is the issuer in this offering. We conduct our Malaysian business operations through our operating subsidiary in Malaysia, Gigabit Hosting Sdn Bhd., or “Gigabit MY”, and its 80% owned subsidiary Gigabit Space Sdn. Bhd., or “Gigabit Space”, and we conduct our Hong Kong business operations through our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong, Gigabit (HK) Limited, or “Gigabit HK”.

 

In addition, we conduct business operations in Taiwan and Japan primarily through Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK, by leasing data center capacity from local providers, deploying our own bare metal infrastructure, and servicing regional customers through remote and sending our own engineers to man the data center arrangements.

 

At Gigabit, we deliver comprehensive, end-to-end IT solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of businesses across industries. Our offerings span five core pillars: Data Center & Cloud Infrastructure Services, providing cloud hosting, co-location and computing resources across public, private, or hybrid cloud environments to support dynamic and scalable IT operations; Data Storage & Disaster Recovery Services, including cloud object storage to ensure infrastructure resilience, data integrity, and uninterrupted business continuity; Cybersecurity Services, such as Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection, to safeguard digital assets from emerging threats; Professional Services & Hardware, including hardware solutions and system integration to streamline IT deployment and management; and Internet & Web Hosting Services, featuring dedicated server or bare metal solutions, high-performance connectivity solutions (IP transit, IPLC, Metro-E) and a robust Content Delivery Network (CDN) to enhance website speed, availability, and user experience. Each of these service segments can be delivered as Managed Services, offering continuous performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, automated patch management, workload optimization, hardware diagnostics, replacement coordination, security hardening, and active security threat monitoring, all tailored to client requirements and handled by our in-house experts—enabling organizations to enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and stay compliant with evolving cybersecurity standards.

Corporate History and Structure

 

We are not a Hong Kong or a mainland China operating company, but an offshore holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 17, 2024. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our operating companies in Malaysia, Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, and our operating company in Hong Kong, Gigabit HK. This is an offering of the Shares of Gigabit Inc., the holding company in the Cayman Islands, and not of the shares of Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK.

 

On October 18, 2007, our operating subsidiary in Malaysia, Gigabit MY, was incorporated under the laws of Malaysia and principally engaged in the provision of internet services and trading of computer hardware and software and other information technology activities. The Group first began operations on October 18, 2007, through its operating subsidiary, Gigabit MY. Gigabit Space was incorporated on April 23, 2024, under the laws of Malaysia as an operating entity primarily engaged in cloud object storage and other information technology activities, with Gigabit MY holding 80% of its outstanding equity interests.

 

On October 3, 2018, our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong, Gigabit HK, was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and principally engaged in the provision of internet services, software, and other information technology activities.

 

The Company has undergone a reorganization so as to facilitate this offering. As part of the reorganization, (i) on May 19, 2025, the Company and Mr. Teoh Paik Yau entered into a share exchange agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Teoh agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit HK at a consideration of $53.999 settled by the issuance and allotment of 539,999 Shares; and (ii) on May 19, 2025, Mr. Teoh Paik Loon, Mr. Teoh Paik Yau and the Company entered into a share sale agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Teoh Paik Loon and Mr. Teoh Paik Yau together agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit MY at a consideration of RM9,907,444 settled by issuance and allotment of 460,000 Shares.

 

As a result of this reorganization, Gigabit Inc. owns 100% of the equity interests of Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK and indirectly owns 80% of the equity interests of Gigabit Space. 

 

In October 2025, the Company further issued and allotted a total of 17,750,000 Ordinary Shares to Mr. Teoh Paik Yau, Mr. Teoh Paik Loon, and nine employees and advisors of the Company in recognition of their contributions to the Company.

Our Controlling Shareholder currently owns 70.8% of our Ordinary Shares, which represents 70.8% of our aggregate voting power and, upon consummation of this offering, our Controlling Shareholder will own 66.3% of our Ordinary Shares, which represents 66.3% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Shares”.

Permission Required From Hong Kong and Chinese Authorities

 

We have been advised by Loeb & Loeb LLP, our U.S. and Hong Kong counsel, that based on their understanding of the pertinent current Hong Kong laws as of the date of this prospectus, the Company and its subsidiary, Gigabit HK are not required to obtain any permissions or approvals from Hong Kong authorities before listing in the U.S. and issuing our Shares to foreign investors. No such permissions or approvals have been applied for by the Company and its subsidiary or denied by any relevant authorities. As of the date of this prospectus, Gigabit HK has received all requisite permissions or approvals from the Hong Kong authorities to operate their businesses in Hong Kong, including but not limited to its business registration certificates. However, we have been advised by Loeb & Loeb LLP that uncertainties still exist, due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in Hong Kong could change rapidly in the future.

 

Based on our management’s internal assessment, the Company and its subsidiary currently have no operations in the mainland China, our management understands that as of the date of this prospectus, the Company is not required to obtain any permissions or approvals from PRC authorities before listing in the U.S. and to issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors, including the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) or the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) because (i) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to this regulation; and (ii) the Company operates in Hong Kong and is not included in the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC. We also understand that Gigabit HK is not required to obtain any permissions or approvals from any Chinese authorities to operate their businesses as of the date of this prospectus. No permissions or approvals have been applied for by the Company or denied by any relevant authorities. However, uncertainties still exist, due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future.

 

In the event that (i) the PRC government expands the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals, (ii) we inadvertently conclude that relevant permissions or approvals were not required, or (iii) we did not receive or maintain relevant permissions or approvals required, any action taken by the PRC government could significantly limit or completely hinder our operations in Hong Kong and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

In the event that we become subject to PRC laws or to the jurisdiction of Chinese authorities, we may incur material costs to ensure compliance, be subject to fines, experience devaluation of securities or delisting, no longer conduct offerings to foreign investors, or no longer be permitted to continue our current business operations.

 

Transfers of Cash through our Organization

 

We conduct substantially most of our operations in Malaysia through our Malaysia subsidiaries, Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, and we conduct certain of our operations in Hong Kong through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Gigabit HK. (Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK are our three operating subsidiaries located in Malaysia and Hong Kong, respectively.) Accordingly, substantially all our cash and assets are denominated in Malaysian Ringgit and Hong Kong Dollars. As of the date of this prospectus, Gigabit Inc. and its subsidiaries Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK have not experienced any difficulties or limitations on their ability to transfer cash between each other; they do not maintain cash management policies or procedures dictating the amount of such funding or how funds are transferred. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. See “Risk Factors — We are a holding company and our ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent upon the earnings of, and distributions by, our Hong Kong subsidiary; and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends., “Dividend Policy”, “Summary Combined Financial Data”, and “Combined Statements of Change in Shareholders’ Equity in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” for further details.

 

Cash is transferred through our organization in the following manner: (i) funds are transferred to Gigabit MY, our Malaysia operating entity and Gigabit HK , our Hong Kong operating entity, directly from Gigabit Inc. in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; (ii) dividends or other distributions may be paid by Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK to Gigabit Inc., (iii) funds are transferred to Gigabit Space, an 80% owned subsidiary of Gigabit MY, directly from Gigabit MY in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; and (iv) dividends or other distributions may be paid by Gigabit Space to Gigabit MY. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and the six-month period ended June 30 2025, the only transfer of assets among Gigabit Inc., Gigabit MY, Gigabit Space and Gigabit HK consisted of cash. Material intra-group cash transfers for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and six months period ended June 30 2025 are set forth below:

We had not declared or paid any dividends or made any transfers of assets among us or our operating subsidiaries. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

 

We are permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands to provide funding to our operating subsidiaries through loans and/or capital contributions without restriction on the amount of the funds loaned or contributed.

Cayman Islands. Subject to Malaysian law, Hong Kong law, the Companies Act and our Memorandum and Articles of Association, under Cayman Islands law, our Company in general meeting may declare dividends in any currency, but no dividends shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by our board of directors. Subject to a solvency test, as prescribed in the Companies Act, and the provisions, if any, of the memorandum and articles of association of an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands may pay dividends and distributions out of its share premium account. In addition, based upon English case law that is likely to be persuasive in the Cayman Islands, dividends may be paid out of profits.

 

Malaysia. Malaysia is under a single-tier tax system. Dividends are exempt from income tax in the hands of shareholders. However, effective as of January 1, 2025, a 2% tax will be imposed on individual residents whose total dividend income exceeds RM100,000 annually. Our Malaysian subsidiaries, Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, are not required to deduct tax from dividends paid to its shareholder, Gigabit Inc., and no tax credits will be available for offsetting against the recipient’s tax liability. Corporate shareholders receiving exempt single-tier dividends can, in turn, distribute such dividends to their own shareholders, who are also exempt on such receipts. Further, Malaysia does not impose any withholding tax on dividends paid by Malaysian companies to non-residents. Hence, Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space are not required to withhold any sums from its dividends for tax withholding purposes.

 

Hong Kong. Under Hong Kong law, dividends may only be paid out of distributable profits (that is, accumulated realized profits less accumulated realized losses) or other distributable reserves. Dividends cannot be paid out of share capital. There are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK dollars into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong, nor is there any restriction on foreign exchange to transfer cash between the Company and its subsidiaries, across borders and to U.S. investors, nor are there any restrictions or limitations on distributing earnings from our business and our subsidiaries to the Company and U.S. investors. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us.

 

For more information, see “Dividend Policy,” “Risk Factors” and “Summary Financial Data” and “Combined Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity” for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 contained in this prospectus.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Cayman Islands experts named in this prospectus, many of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may be difficult to collect within the United States.

 

We have irrevocably appointed Cogency Global Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of our agent is 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168.

 

Harney Westwood & Riegels Singapore LLP (“Harneys”), our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (1) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

Harneys has informed us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the Cayman Islands would recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the Foreign Courts against the Company based upon the Documents expressed to be governed by the Foreign Laws 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. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

 

Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons. The nationality and residence of our directors and executive officers is as follows:

 

Name   Position   Nationality   Residence
Teoh Paik Yau   Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, and Director   Malaysian   Malaysia
Yap Thai Tong   Chief Financial Officer   Malaysian   Malaysia
Ng Kai Ying   Chief Operating Officer and Director   Malaysian   Malaysia
Ang Beng Cheong   Independent Director Nominee   Malaysian   Malaysia
Choo Seng Choon   Independent Director Nominee   Malaysian   Malaysia
Yap Zhan Wen   Independent Director Nominee   Malaysian   Malaysia

 

All of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. We have been advised by Loeb & Loeb LLP, our U.S. and Hong Kong counsel, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong would (i) 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 (ii) entertain original actions brought in Hong Kong against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

A judgment of a court in the United States predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws may be enforced in Hong Kong at common law by bringing an action in a Hong Kong court on that judgment for the amount due thereunder, and then seeking summary judgment on the strength of the foreign judgment, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is (1) for a debt or a definite sum of money (not being taxes or similar charges to a foreign government taxing authority or a fine or other penalty) and (2) final and conclusive on the merits of the claim, but not otherwise. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained by fraud; (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (c) its enforcement or recognition would be contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong; (d) the court of the United States was not jurisdictionally competent; or (e) the judgment was in conflict with a prior Hong Kong judgment.

 

Hong Kong has no arrangement for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments with the United States. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Hong Kong, in original actions or in actions for enforcement, of judgments of United States courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States.

 

It is also uncertain whether, in the future, the Hong Kong government will implement regulations and policies of the Chinese government or adopt regulations and policies of its own that are substantially similar to those of the Chinese government.

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Shares involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described in “Risk Factors” before making a decision to invest in our Shares. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Shares would likely decline, their liquidity could drop significantly and you may lose all or part of your investment. The following is a summary of some of the principal risks we face:

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in Malaysia

 

  Developments in the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in Malaysia may have a material adverse impact on us.
     
  We are subject to foreign exchange control policies in Malaysia.
     
  Economic, market and political developments in the countries where we operate could have a material and adverse effect on our business.
     
  We may be exposed to liabilities under applicable anti-corruption laws and any determination that we violated these laws could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

 

Certain of our operations are currently based in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China. Although Hong Kong has its own governmental and legal system that is independent from China, it is uncertain whether in the future the Hong Kong government will implement regulations and policies of the Chinese government or adopt regulations and policies of its own that are substantially the same as those of the Chinese government. Therefore, the legal and operational risks that apply to operating in China also apply to our operations in Hong Kong. These risks include but are not limited to, the following:

 

  Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in the PRC with little advance notice could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale.
     
  The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale.
     
  Any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or involves or constitutes a foreign investment in China-based issuers, such actions could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
     
  Recent joint statements by the SEC and PCAOB, Nasdaq’s proposed rule changes and the HFCA 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.
     
  In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, we may be subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding data protection and any other rules, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations could have a material and adverse effect on our business and the offering.

 

 

10
 

 

 

  You may experience difficulties in effecting service of process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in this prospectus based on foreign laws.
     
  We are a holding company and our ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent upon the earnings of, and distributions by, our Hong Kong subsidiary; and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends.
     
  Our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by a downturn in China or the global economy, and/or changes in the economic and political policies of the PRC.
     
  It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigation in China.
     
  We may be required to obtain approval from PRC authorities to list on overseas stock exchanges in the future.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

We may fail to maintain and grow our customer base or keep our customers engaged through our services.

     
 

We may face increasing competition which may affect our ability to retain existing customers or expand existing customer usage of our solutions.

     
 

Our future performance will be highly dependent on our ability to grow revenues from new feature functionality and deeper adoption of our products and services.

     
 

If the market for cloud-based solutions develops more slowly than we expect or changes in a way that we fail to anticipate, our sales would suffer and our results of operations would be adversely affected.

     
 

We may not accurately predict the long-term rate of customer subscription renewals or adoption of our solutions, or any resulting impact on our revenues or operating results.

     
 

As the number of customers that we serve increases, we may encounter implementation challenges, and these challenges may require us to delay revenue recognition for some complex engagements, which would harm our business and operating results.

     
 

Failure to maintain effective user service could harm our reputation or decrease market acceptance of our services.

     
 

Defects, errors or any other problems associated with our products and services could diminish demand for our products or services, harm our business and results of operations and subject us to liability.

     
 

Any loss or deterioration of our relationship with our business partners may result in the loss of customers and revenues.

 

 

11
 

 

 

 

We may not be successful in effectively promoting our brands, and any negative publicity may harm our brands and the specific products and services we provide.

     
 

Third parties may claim that we have infringed their proprietary rights, which could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and prevent us from promoting our products and services.

     
 

We may be unable to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.

     
 

Our business generates and processes a large amount of data, and the improper use or disclosure of such data may harm our reputation and business.

   
 

The growth of our business may be adversely affected due to breaches of our security measures and unintended disclosures of our intellectual property or our user data.

     
  We have limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.
     
  Breaches of and other types of security incidents could negatively impact our business, our brand and reputation, our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, may cause us to incur significant liabilities and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.
     
  Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and financial performance.
     
  Unforeseeable events, such as the global COVID-19 outbreak and local energy efficiency measures, could significantly disrupt our supply chain for a prolonged period of time.
     
  The wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to our Shares

 

In addition to the risks described above, we are subject to general risks and uncertainties relating to our Shares and this offering, including but not limited to the following:

 

  There has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares prior to this offering; if an active trading market does not develop you may not be able to resell our Shares at any reasonable price, if at all.
     
  Our Ordinary Share price may never trade at or above the price in this offering.
     
  The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares may not reflect their actual value.
     
  We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.
     
  Our Ordinary Share price may be volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Such rapid and substantial price volatility, including any stock run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.
     
  The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.
     
  Volatility in our Share price may subject us to securities litigation.
     
  If we fail to meet applicable listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our Ordinary Shares from trading, in which case the liquidity and market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

 

 

12
 

 

 

  If you purchase our Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your Shares.
     
  Our Controlling Shareholder has significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders.
     
  Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing because we plan to have a small public offering and our insiders will hold a large portion of our listed securities.

 

Recent Regulatory Developments in China

 

We are aware that, recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.

 

Cybersecurity Laws

 

On December 28, 2021, the CAC jointly with the relevant authorities formally published the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) (“2021 Measures for Cybersecurity Review”) which took effect on February 15, 2022 and replace the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020) issued on July 10, 2021. The 2021 Measures for Cybersecurity Review provides that operators of critical information infrastructure, network products and services, and online platform operators (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the “Operators”) carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, any online platform operator who controls more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if it seeks to be listed in a foreign country.

 

Given the nature of our business, we believe this risk is not significant. Our operating subsidiary Gigabit HK may collect and store certain data (including certain personal information) from our customers, some of whom may be individuals in Mainland China, in connection with our business and operations and for “Know Your Customers” purposes (to combat money laundering).

 

We believe that Gigabit HK is deemed not to be an “operator of critical information infrastructure,” “data processor,” or “network platform operator,” because (i) this operating subsidiary was incorporated in Hong Kong and we operate in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China and the 2021 Measures for Cybersecurity Review does not clearly provide whether it shall be applied to a company based in Hong Kong; (ii) all of the non-personal data that Gigabit HK has collected is stored in servers located in Malaysia; and (iii) as of the date of this prospectus, Gigabit HK has not been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that it files for a cybersecurity review or a CSRC review.

 

If 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 cannot assure you that we will be able to list our Shares on U.S. exchanges, or continue to offer securities to investors, which would materially affect the interest of the investors and cause significantly depreciation of our price of Shares. See “Risk Factors — We may be required to obtain approval from PRC authorities to list on overseas stock exchanges in the future.”

 

Laws on Offshore Securities Offering

 

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Administrative Measures, and five supporting guidelines, came into effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Administrative Measures further stipulate the rules and requirements for overseas offering and listing conducted by PRC domestic companies. The Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas shall complete the filing procedures of and submit the relevant information to CSRC, failing which we may be fined between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million.

 

 

13
 

 

 

Gigabit Inc. is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with operating entities based in Malaysia and Hong Kong, and it does not have any subsidiary or VIE in Mainland China or intend to acquire any equity interest in any domestic companies within Mainland China, nor is it controlled by any companies or individuals of Mainland China. Further, we operate in Malaysia and Hong Kong with our officers and all members of the board of directors based in Malaysia and Hong Kong, none of whom are Mainland China citizens, and all of our revenues and profits are generated by our subsidiaries in Malaysia and Hong Kong.

 

Based on the PRC laws and regulations effective as of the date of this prospectus and subject to interpretations of these laws and regulations that may be adopted by PRC government authorities, neither we nor our Hong Kong operating subsidiary in Hong Kong is currently required to obtain any permission or approval from the PRC government authorities, including the CSRC and CAC, to operate our business, list on the U.S. exchanges, or offer the securities to foreign investors.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor our Hong Kong operating subsidiary has ever applied for any such permission or approval. Any failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining, such approval or any delay in completing such procedures for this offering, or any rescission of any such approval if obtained by us, would subject us to sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities for failure to seek CSRC approval or other government authorization for this offering. These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the offering from this offering into China or take other actions that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of the Shares offering hereby. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals or accomplish the required filing or other regulatory procedures for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such approval requirement could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, reputation, and the trading price of the shares.

 

Implications of HFCA Act

 

Our Shares may be prohibited from being trading on a national exchange under the HFCA Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2021.

 

Our auditor, UHY Malaysia PLT, is an independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus. As an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, it is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections on its audit works to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspections and PCAOB is able to inspect our auditor in relation to our U.S. listing.

 

The SEC adopted rules to implement the HFCA Act and, pursuant to the HFCA Act, the PCAOB issued its report on December 16, 2021, notifying SEC of its determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong because of a position taken by one or more authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB made its determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfils its responsibilities under the HFCA Act.

 

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed the SOP Agreements with the CSRC and China’s Ministry of Finance. The SOP Agreements established a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. However, if the PCAOB continued to be prohibited from conducting complete inspections and investigations of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, the PCAOB was likely to determine by the end of 2022 that positions taken by authorities in the PRC obstructed its ability to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong completely, and the companies audited by those registered public accounting firms would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act.

 

 

14
 

 

 

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the stock exchange. On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, and thus, reduced the time before our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted. The delisting of our Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

 

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

 

Upon the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because our Controlling Shareholder, Mr. Teoh Paik Yau, will own 66.3% of our total issued and outstanding Shares, representing 66.3% of the total voting power, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. For so long as we remain a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including an exemption from the rule that a majority of our Board of Directors must be independent directors or that we have to establish a nominating committee and a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements

 

Even if we cease to be a controlled company, we may still rely on exemptions available to foreign private issuers.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

 

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to U.S. public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include:

 

  the option to include in an initial public offering registration statement only two years of audited financial statements and selected financial data and only two years of related disclosure;
     
  reduced executive compensation disclosure; and
     
  an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

15
 

 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an Emerging Growth Company under the JOBS Act, we may elect to take advantage of certain reduced disclosure and regulatory requirements available to emerging growth companies in the United States. However, unlike U.S. GAAP, IFRS does not provide for an extended transition period for adoption of new or amended accounting standards, and we have therefore adopted all IFRS pronouncements effective as of January 1, 2023, and applied them consistently to all periods presented. All entities are required to adopt such standards on the same effective dates. Accordingly, we have complied fully with IFRS adoption requirements, and our combined financial statements reflect the timely adoption of all applicable standards effective as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

 

  the last day of our fiscal year during which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.235 billion;
     
  the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of this offering;
     
  the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or
     
  the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which, among other things, would occur if the market value of our Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

 

We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies.

 

In addition, upon closing of this offering, we will report under the Exchange Act as a “foreign private issuer” under the SEC rules and Nasdaq rules. As a foreign private issuer, we may take advantage of certain provisions under the Nasdaq rules that allow us to follow Cayman Islands law for certain corporate governance matters. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

 

  the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;
     
  the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time;
     
  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events; and
     
  Regulation Fair Disclosure, which regulates selective disclosures of material information by issuers.

 

Foreign private issuers, such as emerging growth companies, are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, if we remain a foreign private issuer, even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of public companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer.

 

However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and we will submit to the SEC from time to time, on Form 6-K, reports of information that would likely be material to an investment decision in our Shares.

 

 

16
 

 

 

Furthermore, Nasdaq Rule 5615(a)(3) provides that a foreign private issuer, such as us, may rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the rules in the Nasdaq Rule 5600 Series and Rule 5250(d), except that we must comply with Nasdaq’s Notification of Noncompliance requirement (Rule 5625), the Voting Rights requirement (Rule 5640), and that we have an audit committee that satisfies Rule 5605(c)(3), including having committee members that meet the independence requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)(ii). The exemptions are subject to our disclosure of which requirements we are not following and the equivalent Cayman Islands requirements. Below are some of the exemptions afforded to foreign private issuers under the Nasdaq rules:

 

  Exemption from the requirement that we disclose within four business days of any determination to grant a waiver of the code of business conduct and ethics to directors and officers.

 

  Exemption from the requirement that our board of directors be composed of independent directors.

 

  Exemption from the requirement that our audit committee have a minimum of three members.

 

  Exemption from the requirement that we hold annual shareholders’ meetings.

 

  Exemption from the requirement that our board of directors have a remuneration committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

 

  Exemption from the requirement that director nominees are selected, or recommended for selection by our board of directors, either by (i) independent directors constituting a majority of our board of directors’ independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate, or (ii) a committee comprised solely of independent directors and governed by a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nomination process as adopted.

 

We intend to comply with all of the rules generally applicable to U.S. domestic companies listed on the Nasdaq. We may in the future decide to use the foreign private issuer exemption with respect to some or all of the other Nasdaq corporate governance rules. We also intend to comply with Cayman Islands corporate governance requirements under the Companies Act applicable to us at the same time. If we rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the rules of Nasdaq, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. We may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances apply:

 

  the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents;
     
  more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or
     
  our business is administered principally in the United States.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment in our company. The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in Malaysia

 

Developments in the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in Malaysia may have a material adverse impact on us.

 

Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by social, political, regulatory and economic developments in Malaysia. Such political and economic uncertainties include, but are not limited to, new government policies, the risks of war, terrorism, nationalism, corruption culture, nullification of contracts, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, imposition of capital controls and methods of taxation.

 

Negative developments in Malaysia’s socio-political environment and several high profile corruption, money laundering and abuse of powers prosecutions under, among others, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (“AMLATA”) and the Penal Code of Malaysia, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Malaysian economy registered modest growth of approximately 8.7% and 3.1% in 2022 and 2021, respectively, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia. Although the overall Malaysian economic environment (in which we predominantly operate) appears to be positive, there can be no assurance that this will continue to prevail in the future. Economic growth is determined by countless factors, and it is extremely difficult to predict with any level of absolute certainty.

Furthermore, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic. To help counter the transmission of COVID-19, the government of Malaysia initiated Movement Control Orders (“MCO”), which were first effective March 18, 2020. The MCO had resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Malaysia. On May 13, 2020, the MCO was eased to a Conditional Movement Control Order (“CMCO”) where most business sectors were allowed to operate under strict rules and Standard Operating Procedures mandated by the government of Malaysia. The CMCO was further relaxed, and on June 10, 2020, Malaysia moved into the Recovery Movement Control Order (“RMCO”). Due to a resurgence of COVID-19, the CMCO was reimposed in the states of Sabah, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya effective October 14, 2020. On November 7, 2020, the CMCO was extended to a wider geographical area to include another six states in the country. Effectively, ten of thirteen states in Malaysia were placed under CMCO with the exceptions of Perlis, Pahang and Kelantan. On January 1, 2021, the Government of Malaysia extended the RMCO through March 31, 2021. At the height of the pandemic, on January 12, 2021, the Malaysian government even declared a state of emergency nationwide to combat COVID-19 where intermittent lockdowns were imposed in various states and districts in the country. On March 5, 2021, lockdowns in most parts of the country were eased to a CMCO, nevertheless, COVID-19 cases in the country continue to rise. On May 12, 2021, Malaysia was again put under a full lockdown nationwide. On July 17, 2021, the full lockdown was slightly eased. Malaysia’s COVID-19 restrictions were eased progressively over the course of 2022, with the country eventually reopening its borders and discontinuing the requirement for face masks. On May 5, 2023, the WHO ended the emergency status for COVID-19. However, COVID-19 is still a significant public health problem and will continue to challenge health systems worldwide long term. We are witnessing the adverse impact on the purchasing power of consumers in Malaysia, where our products are mainly sold as a direct result of the prolonged pandemic. As such, the extent to which the COVID-19 may continue to adversely impact the Malaysian economy is uncertain. In the event that the Malaysia economy suffers, demand for our products may diminish, which would in turn result in our profitability. This could in turn result in a substantial need for restructuring of our business objectives and could result in a partial or entire loss of an investment in our Company.

 

We are subject to foreign exchange control policies in Malaysia.

 

The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us may be restricted by the foreign exchange control policies in the countries where we operate. For example, there are foreign exchange policies in Malaysia which support the monitoring of capital flows into and out of the country in order to preserve its financial and economic stability. The foreign exchange policies are administered by the Foreign Exchange Administration, an arm of Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”), the central bank of Malaysia. The foreign exchange policies monitor and regulate both residents and non-residents. Under the current Foreign Exchange Administration rules issued by BNM, non-residents are free to repatriate any amount of funds from Malaysia in foreign currency other than the currency of Israel at any time (subject to limited exceptions), including capital, divestment proceeds, profits, dividends, rental, fees and interest arising from investment in Malaysia, subject to any withholding tax. In the event BNM or any other country where we operate introduces any restrictions in the future, we may be affected in our ability to repatriate dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries in Malaysia or in such other countries. Since Gigabit Inc. is a holding company incorporated in Cayman Islands and will rely principally on dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries for our cash requirements, any restrictions on such dividends or other payments could materially and adversely affect our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Economic, market and political developments in the countries where we operate could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

 

As with all organizations that seek to reduce business risks via geographical expansion, the economic, market and political conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market conditions in Southeast Asia, could have an influence on our business. Any widespread global financial instability or a significant loss of investor confidence in emerging market economies may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or reputation.

 

Examples of such external factors or conditions that are outside our control include, but are not limited to the following:

 

  general economic, political and social conditions in Southeast Asian markets;
     
  consumer spending patterns in our key markets;
     
  currency and interest rate fluctuations;

 

20
 

 

  international events and circumstances such as wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters and political instability; and
     
  changes in legal regimes and governmental regulations, such as licensing and approvals, taxation, duties and tariffs, in key markets and abroad.

 

For example, the global financial markets experienced significant disruptions in 2008 and the United States, Europe and other economies went into recession. The recovery from the lows of 2008 and 2009 was uneven and the global economy has continued to face new challenges. There is considerable uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies that have been adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States. For example, in 2013, the Federal Reserve Bank in the United States announced the tapering of its bond-buying program which led to a high degree of volatility in equity markets and substantial devaluations in the currencies of many emerging economies, including markets where we operate. Economic conditions in the countries where we operate might be sensitive to global economic conditions, as well as changes in domestic economic and political policies and the expected or perceived overall economic growth rate in emerging markets. We are witnessing the adverse impact on the purchasing power of consumers in Malaysia, where our products are mainly sold, as a direct result of these worldwide developments.

 

We may be exposed to liabilities under applicable anti-corruption laws and any determination that we violated these laws could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

We are subject to various anti-corruption laws, including the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, AMLATA and the Penal Code of Malaysia, that prohibit companies and their employees or agents from making improper payments or offers of payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We may conduct business in countries and regions that are generally recognized as potentially more corrupt business environments. Activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees or agents that could be in violation of various anti-corruption laws. We have implemented safeguards and policies to discourage these practices by our employees and agents but we cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will always protect us from acts committed by our employees or agents. If our employees or agents violate our policies or we fail to maintain adequate record keeping and internal accounting practices to accurately record our transactions, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions. Violations of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, the Penal Code of Malaysia or other applicable anti-corruption laws, or allegations of any such acts, could damage our reputation and subject us to civil or criminal investigations in Malaysia, the United States or in other relevant jurisdictions. Those and any related shareholder lawsuits could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and nonmonetary penalties and cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory fees which could adversely affect our business, combined financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

 

Certain of our operations are currently based in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China. Although Hong Kong has its own governmental and legal system that is independent from China, it is uncertain whether in the future the Hong Kong government will implement regulations and policies of the Chinese government or adopt regulations and policies of its own that are substantially the same as those of the Chinese government. Therefore, the legal and operational risks that apply to operating in China also apply to our operations in Hong Kong.

 

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in the PRC with little advance notice could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale.

 

The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions have limited value as precedents. Since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform. The enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China- based issuers, could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Shares.

 

21
 

 

We cannot rule out the possibility that the PRC government will institute pre-approval requirement covering our industry at some point in the future. If such approval requirement were introduced, we cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain any newly required license in a timely manner, or at all, which could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

 

The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case, that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or way we conduct our business, could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are required to be implemented, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and such measured could materially decrease the value of our Shares, potentially rendering it worthless.

 

The laws and regulations may be subject to future changes, the effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing laws and regulations, may be delayed, and our business may be affected if we rely on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in manner different from our understanding of these laws and regulations. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.

 

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale.

 

Gigabit Inc. is a holding company and we conduct our operations through our Malaysia subsidiaries Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space in Malaysia and our Hong Kong subsidiary Gigabit HK in Hong Kong. Certain of our operations are located in Hong Kong. The PRC government may choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion, and the regulations to which we are subject may change rapidly and with little notice to us or our shareholders. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of new and existing laws and regulations in China are often uncertain. In addition, these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities, and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. New laws, regulations, and other government directives in China may also be costly to comply with, and such compliance or any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:

 

  delay or impede our development;
     
  result in negative publicity or increase our operating costs;
     
  require significant management time and attention; and
     
  subject us to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands or orders that we modify or even cease our business practices.

 

The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or manner in which we conduct our business could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our products, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are required to be implemented, our operations could be materially and adversely affected as well as the value of our Shares.

 

Any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, such actions could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

22
 

 

Previous statements by the PRC government have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China based issuers. On July 10, 2021, CAC issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (the “Revised Draft”), which required that, among others, in addition to an “operator of critical information infrastructure” any “data processor” 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. Pursuant to Article 6 of the Revised Draft, companies holding data or more than one million users must apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking overseas listings because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments.” On January 4, 2022, the CAC, the NDRC, and several other administrations jointly adopted and published the New Measures, which came into effect on February 15, 2022 and amended the Revised Draft released on July 10, 2021. According to the New Measures, if an “operator of critical information infrastructure” or “network platform operator” that is in possession of personal data of more than one million users intends to list in a foreign country, it must apply for a cybersecurity review. We operate our current business in the information technology industry, and we collect limited user data, and our current business does not implicate cybersecurity, or involve any other type of restricted industry. Further, we believe that Gigabit HK is deemed not to be an “operator of critical information infrastructure,” “data processor,” or “network platform operator,” because (i) it was incorporated in Hong Kong and it operates in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure in the mainland China and the 2021 Measures for Cybersecurity Review do not clearly provide whether it shall be applied to a company based in Hong Kong; (ii) all of the data that it has collected is stored in servers located in locations outside Mainland China; and (iii) as of the date of this prospectus, it has not been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that it files for a cybersecurity review or a CSRC review. As a result, the likelihood of us being subject to the review of the CAC is remote.

 

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC, together with other relevant PRC authorities issued the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments), and the Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (“Draft Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Draft Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas shall complete the filing procedures of and submit the relevant information to CSRC, including direct and indirect issuance and listing. Where an enterprise whose principal business activities are conducted in PRC seeks to issue and list its shares in the name of an overseas enterprise on the basis of the equity, assets, income or other similar rights and interests of the relevant PRC domestic enterprise, such activities shall be deemed an indirect overseas issuance and listing under the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations. Gigabit Inc. is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with operating entities based in Malaysia and Hong Kong, and it does not have any subsidiary or VIE in mainland China or intend to acquire any equity interest in any domestic companies within the mainland China, nor is it controlled by any companies or individuals of the mainland China. As such, our issuance is not considered as an indirect overseas issuance and listing, and there is no need to complete the filing procedures of the CSRC.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our registered public offering in the U.S. is not subject to the review nor prior approval of the CAC or the CSRC. Uncertainties still exist, however, due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future. The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations may restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact our ability or way to conduct business and may require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities.

 

In the event that (i) the PRC government expands the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC that we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals; or (ii) we inadvertently concluded that relevant permissions or approvals were not required or that we did not receive or maintain relevant permissions or approvals required, any action taken by the PRC government could significantly limit or completely hinder our operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer our Shares to investors and cause the value of such Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.

Recent joint statements by the SEC and PCAOB, Nasdaq’s proposed rule changes and the HFCA 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.

 

The AHFCA Act was enacted on December 23, 2022. The AHFCA Act states that if the SEC determines that an issuer has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, the SEC shall prohibit the securities of the issuer from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States (the applicable period under the HFCA Act prior to the enactment of the AHFCA Act had been two years).

 

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments implementing the disclosure and submission requirements of the HFCA Act.

 

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 HFCA Act from three years to two years.

 

On November 5, 2021, the PCAOB approved a new rule, PCAOB Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the HFCA Act to provide a framework for its determinations under the HFCA Act that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. The rule establishes the manner of the PCAOB’s determinations; the factors the PCAOB will evaluate and the documents and information the PCAOB will consider when assessing whether a determination is warranted; the form, public availability, effective date, and duration of such determinations; and the process by which the Board will reaffirm, modify, or vacate any such determinations.

 

In December 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. Also, on December 16, 2021, pursuant to the HFCA Act, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of PRC, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.

 

On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC.

 

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022, and the PCAOB Board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor’s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and has resumed regular inspections since March 2023. The PCAOB is continuing pursuing ongoing investigations and may initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed.

 

On December 23, 2022 the AHFCA Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. As a result, the time period before the Company’s securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted has been decreased accordingly.

Our auditor, UHY Malaysia PLT, is an independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus. As an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, it is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspections and the PCAOB is able to inspect our auditor in relation to our U.S. listing. However, there is no assurance that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors able to be inspected by the PCAOB and therefore, in the future, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. As such, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor, and as a result our securities may be delisted.

 

In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, we may be subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding data protection and any other rules, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations could have a material and adverse effect on our business and the offering.

 

Certain of our operations are located in Hong Kong and certain of our customers from whom we generated revenue are located in Hong Kong and mainland China. In the future, if we collect, store, use and deal with non-sensitive information of users, and if these customers are located in the PRC, we may be subject to PRC data security law, personal information protection law and other relevant provisions. These laws apply not only to third-party transactions, but also other parties with which we have commercial relations. These laws continue to develop, and the PRC government may adopt other rules and restrictions in the future. Non-compliance could result in penalties or other significant legal liabilities.

 

The PRC regulatory requirements regarding cybersecurity are evolving. For instance, various regulatory bodies in the PRC, including the CAC, the Ministry of Public Security, and the SAMR, have enforced data privacy and protection laws and regulations with varying and evolving standards and interpretations. The Cybersecurity Law, which was adopted by the National People’s Congress on November 7, 2016, and the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which were promulgated on April 13, 2020, provide that personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure operator in the course of its operations in China must be stored in China, and if a critical information infrastructure operator purchases internet products and services that affect or may affect national security, it will be subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC. On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress promulgated the Data Security Law, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The Data Security Law requires that data shall not be collected by theft or other illegal means, and also provides for a data classification and hierarchical protection system. The data classification and hierarchical protection system puts data into different groups according to its importance in economic and social development, and the damages it may cause to national security, public interests, or the legitimate rights and interests of individuals and organizations in case the data is falsified, damaged, disclosed, illegally obtained or illegally used. If any of our data processing activities conducted after the Data Security Law became effective were found to be not in compliance with this law, we could be ordered to make corrections, and under certain serious circumstances, such as severe data divulgence, we could be subject to penalties, including the revocation of our business licenses or other permits. Furthermore, the recently issued Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law require (i) speeding up the revision of the provisions on strengthening the confidentiality and archives management relating to overseas issuance and listing of securities and (ii) improving the laws and regulations relating to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information. As there remain uncertainties regarding the further interpretation and implementation of those laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that we will be compliant such new regulations in all respects, and we may be ordered to rectify and terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by the regulatory authorities and become subject to fines and other sanctions.

 

25
 

 

We believe that as of the date of this prospectus, we are not required to obtain permissions by including the CSRC, CAC or any other PRC authorities for its operations or issue our Shares including the Shares being registered for sale to foreign investors under existing PRC laws and regulations, and have not received any requirement or were denied such permissions or approvals by any PRC authorities. According to the New Measures, if an “operator of critical information infrastructure” or “network platform operator” that is in possession of personal data of more than one million users intends to list in a foreign country, it must apply for a cybersecurity review. The New Measures further elaborates 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. As of the date of this prospectus, neither the Company nor its PRC licensee possesses a large amount of personal information in their business operations or is recognized as an “operator of critical information infrastructure” by any authentic authority. Therefore, we do not believe that Gigabit HK is deemed to be an “operator of critical information infrastructure,” or “network platform operator” controlling personal information of no less than one million users. We are required to collect and retain some basic information furnished by our customers, suppliers and employees in accordance with prevailing business practices, but we do not handle a large amount of personal and confidential data in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity or data security initiated by related governmental regulatory authorities, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect. Our Hong Kong subsidiary, Gigabit HK, has received all necessary permissions required to obtain from Hong Kong authorities to operate its current business in Hong Kong or issue shares to foreign investors, including its Business License.

 

However, given the recent events indicating greater oversight by the CAC over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on foreign stock exchanges. According to current laws and measures, we do not need to obtain CAC approval. However, due to the continuous development, interpretation, and implementation of regulatory requirements related to PRC laws, overseas securities issuance, and other capital market activities, we cannot rule out the possibility of future amendments to laws and related measures, including amending new regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the new measures. PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the New Measures. They may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the Shares that we are offering. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we expect to take all reasonable measures and actions to comply therewith. In the event of a failure to comply, we may be required to suspend our relevant businesses and become subject to fines and other penalties. If the CAC or other PRC 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.

 

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in this prospectus based on foreign laws.

 

Gigabit Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, but all of our operations and assets are held by our operating subsidiaries, Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, in Malaysia and Gigabit HK, in Hong Kong. In addition, a substantial amount of our assets is located in Hong Kong and some of our senior executive officers and directors reside within Hong Kong for a significant portion of the time. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process on us in Hong Kong. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors.

 

Moreover, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Hong Kong would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

 

Loeb & Loeb LLP, our counsel as to Hong Kong law, has advised us that there is currently no arrangement providing for the reciprocal enforcement of judgements between Hong Kong and the United States, as such judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong. However, under common law, a foreign judgment (including one from federal or state court in the United States) obtained against the Company may generally be treated by the courts of Hong Kong as a cause of action in itself and sued upon as a debt between the parties. In a common law action for enforcement of a foreign judgment, the judgment creditor has to prove that (i) the judgment is in personal; (ii) the judgment is in the nature of a monetary award; (iii) the judgment is final and conclusive on the merits and has not been stayed or satisfied in full; and (iv) the judgement is from a court of competent jurisdiction. The defenses available to the defendant in a common law action for enforcement of a foreign judgment include breach of natural justice, fraud and contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. In order to enforce the foreign judgment at common law, fresh proceedings must be initiated in Hong Kong, which involves issuing a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim attaching the foreign judgment as proof of the debt.

We are a holding company and our ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent upon the earnings of, and distributions by, our Hong Kong subsidiary; and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends.

 

The Shares offered in this prospectus are those of Gigabit Inc.. Gigabit Inc. is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Certain of our business operations are conducted through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Gigabit HK, and hence, part of our revenue and profit are contributed by our Hong Kong subsidiary. We have not paid any dividends to date, and we do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. See “Dividend Policy”.

 

Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders is dependent upon the earnings of our Malaysia subsidiary and our Hong Kong subsidiary and their distribution of funds to us, primarily in the form of dividends. The ability of our Hong Kong subsidiary to make distributions to us depends upon, among others, their distributable earnings. Under Hong Kong law, dividends may only be paid out of distributable profits (that is, accumulated realized profits less accumulated realized losses) or other distributable reserves. Dividends cannot be paid out of share capital. There are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK dollars into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong, nor is there any restriction on foreign exchange to transfer cash between the Company and its subsidiary, across borders and to U.S. investors, nor are there any restrictions or limitations on distributing earnings from our business and subsidiary to the Company and U.S. investors. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. The amounts of distributions that Gigabit Inc.’s subsidiary declared and made in the past are not indicative of the dividends that we may pay in the future. There is no assurance that we will be able to declare or distribute any dividend in the future.

 

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions to prevent the cash maintained in Hong Kong from being transferred out or restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. In response to the persistent capital outflow and the RMB’s depreciation against the USD in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China and SAFE, have implemented a series of capital control measures, including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments, and shareholder loan repayments. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and our Hong Kong subsidiary’s dividends and other distributions may be subjected to tighter scrutiny in the future.

 

Our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by a downturn in China or the global economy, and/or changes in the economic and political policies of the PRC.

 

Certain of our operations are currently located in Hong Kong, which is a Special Administrative region of China, and a portion of our total revenue was generated in Hong Kong for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by the political, economic and social conditions in China generally and by the continued economic growth in China as a whole. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us.

 

The rapid growth of the Chinese economy has slowed down since 2012 and such slowdown may continue. There exists also uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States and the PRC, before 2020. Unrest, terrorist threats and the potential for war in the Middle East and elsewhere may increase market volatility across the globe. Any prolonged slowdown in the global or the Chinese economy may affect potential customers’ confidence in the financial market as a whole and have a negative impact on our financial condition. Further, recent global economic conditions including inflationary pressures, have not materially affected our operations in the Hong Kong. However, continued pressure from global economic conditions may affect the Hong Kong market in the future and in turn, may affect our operations.

 

27
 

 

The continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs. We cannot assure that there will not be any unfavorable changes in the PRC and Hong Kong economy that could impact the industries in which we operate, which could in turn diminish the demand for our products and services.

 

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

 

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigations that are common in the U.S. are typically difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. There are significant legal obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Chinese authorities may establish a regulatory cooperation agreement with the securities regulatory authorities of another jurisdiction to implement cross-border supervision and administration which may be difficult to achieve in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation.

 

We may be required to obtain approval from PRC authorities to list on overseas stock exchanges in the future.

 

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, require CSRC approval for a listing involving offshore special purchase vehicles holding Chinese assets. We may be required to obtain approval from PRC authorities in order to continue our listing in Nasdaq or add new listings on other overseas stock exchanges in the future but cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain such approval.

 

The Company believes that we will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the offering and trading of our Shares because (i) Gigabit HK was not established through a merger or requisition of the equity or assets of a “PRC domestic company” as such term is defined under the M&A Rules, (ii) Gigabit HK is a Hong Kong entity, it has been controlled by a non-PRC persons since its incorporation, and (iii) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether an offering like ours under this document is subject to this regulation. However, uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented, and our opinion is subject to any new laws, rules, and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to obtain the approval and, even if we obtain such CSRC approval, such CSRC approval could be rescinded. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government authorities, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as us.

 

Changes in international trade policies, trade disputes, barriers to trade, or the emergence of a trade war may dampen growth in China.

 

Political events, international trade disputes, and other business interruptions could harm or disrupt international commerce and the global economy, and could have a material adverse effect on us and our customers, contract subcontractors, and other partners. International trade disputes could result in tariffs and other protectionist measures which may materially and adversely affect our business.

 

There have also been concerns about the relationship between the PRC and other countries, including the surrounding Asian countries, which may potentially have economic effects. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and the PRC with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. Economic conditions in China and Hong Kong are sensitive to global economic conditions, as well as changes in domestic economic and political policies and the expected or perceived overall economic growth rate in China and Hong Kong.

 

Political uncertainty surrounding international trade disputes and the potential of the escalation to trade war and global recession could have a negative effect on customer confidence. We may have also access to fewer business opportunities, and our operations may be negatively impacted as a result. In addition, the current and future actions or escalations by either the United States or the PRC that affect trade relations may cause global economic turmoil and potentially have a negative impact on our markets, our business, or our results of operations, as well as the financial condition of our clients, and we cannot provide any assurances as to whether such actions will occur or the form that they may take.

 

28
 

 

Changes in PRC political, economic and governmental policies may have an adverse impact on our business.

 

We expect that Hong Kong will continue to be our principal market and place of operation. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to political, economic and legal developments in China to a significant degree. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many aspects, including the extent of government involvement, growth rate, control of the foreign exchange, allocation of resources and capital investment. We cannot assure there will not be any unfavorable changes in the political, economic and governmental policies and measures promulgated by the PRC government that could impact the industries in which we operate, which could in turn diminish the demand for our services.

 

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay us from remitting the proceeds of this offering into Hong Kong through loans or additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiary, thereby diminishing our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

Under PRC laws and regulations, any funds transfer to a PRC subsidiary, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, are subject to approval by or registration with relevant governmental authorities in China regardless of the amount of the transfer. According to the relevant PRC regulations on foreign investment entities (“FIEs”) in China, capital contributions to a PRC subsidiary are subject to the filing with the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”) or their respective local branches and registration with a local bank authorized by SAFE. In addition, (i) any foreign loan procured by any PRC subsidiary is required to be registered with SAFE or their respective local branches and (ii) a PRC subsidiary may not procure loans which exceed the difference between their respective total project investment amount and registered capital or twice of their net worth.

 

On March 30, 2015, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Management Approach Regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, (“SAFE Circular 19”), which took effect as of June 1, 2015. SAFE Circular 19 launched a nationwide reform of the administration of the settlement of the foreign exchange capitals of FIEs and allows FIEs to settle their foreign exchange capital at their discretion, but continues to prohibit FIEs from using the RMB fund converted from their foreign exchange capital for expenditure beyond their business scopes, providing entrusted loans or repaying loans between nonfinancial enterprises. The SAFE issued the Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, (“SAFE Circular 16”), effective in June 2016. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 16, enterprises registered in China may also convert their foreign debts from foreign currency to RMB on a self-discretionary basis. SAFE Circular 16 provides an integrated standard for conversion of foreign exchange under capital account items (including but not limited to foreign currency capital and foreign debts) on a self-discretionary basis which applies to all enterprises registered in China. SAFE Circular 16 reiterates the principle that RMB converted from foreign currency-denominated capital of a company may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope or prohibited by PRC laws or regulations, while such converted RMB will not be provided as loans to its non-affiliated entities. As Circular 16 is relatively new, there remains uncertainty as to its interpretation and application and any other future foreign exchange related rules. Violations of these circulars could result in severe monetary or other penalties. SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 may significantly limit our ability to use Renminbi converted from the net proceeds of this offering and our concurrent private placement, to invest in or acquire any other PRC companies through our PRC subsidiary.

 

We believe that, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, Gigabit Inc. and we do not have any PRC subsidiary, the PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies are not applicable to our Group. However, such status is subject to determination by the PRC authorities and thus uncertainties remain. If it is determined in the future by the PRC authorities that Gigabit HK falls under such laws and regulations, it may delay us from remitting the proceeds of this offering into Hong Kong through loans or additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiary, thereby diminishing our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

29
 

 

If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

 

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with its “de facto management body” within the PRC is considered a “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management body” as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the SAT issued a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, partially abolished on December 29, 2017, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. Although this circular applies only to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises. According to SAT Circular 82, an offshore incorporated enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will be regarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having its “de facto management body” in China, and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the primary location of the day-to-day operational management is in China; (ii) decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human resource matters are made or are subject to approval by organizations or personnel in China; (iii) the enterprise’s primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholder resolutions are located or maintained in China; and (iv) at least 50% of voting board members or senior executives habitually reside in China.

 

We believe that, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, Gigabit Inc. is not a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” If the PRC tax authorities determine that our company is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we would be subject to PRC enterprise income on our worldwide income at the rate of 25%. Furthermore, we would be required to withhold a 10% tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises, including the holders of our Shares. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders may be subject to PRC tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the Shares, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends paid to our non-PRC individual shareholders and any gain realized on the transfer of the Shares by such shareholders may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 20% (which, in the case of dividends, may be withheld at source by us). These rates may be reduced by an applicable tax treaty, but it is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of our company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in our Shares.

 

We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

 

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Public Notice Regarding Certain Corporate Income Tax Matters on Indirect Transfer of Properties by Non-Tax Resident Enterprises, or SAT Bulletin 7. SAT Bulletin 7 extends its tax jurisdiction to transactions involving the transfer of taxable assets through offshore transfer of a foreign intermediary holding company. In addition, SAT Bulletin 7 has introduced safe harbors for internal group restructurings and the purchase and sale of equity through a public securities market. SAT Bulletin 7 also brings challenges to both foreign transferor and transferee (or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer) of taxable assets, as such persons need to determine whether their transactions are subject to these rules and whether any withholding obligation applies.

 

On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Non-resident Enterprise Income Tax at Source, or SAT Bulletin 37, which came into effect on December 1, 2017. The SAT Bulletin 37 further clarifies the practice and procedure of the withholding of non-resident enterprise income tax.

 

30
 

 

Where a non-resident enterprise transfers taxable assets indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, which is an indirect transfer, the non-resident enterprise as either transferor or transferee, or the PRC entity that directly owns the taxable assets, may report such indirect transfer to the relevant tax authority. Using a “substance over form” principle, the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who pays for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise. Both the transferor and the transferee may be subject to penalties under PRC tax laws if the transferee fails to withhold the taxes and the transferor fails to pay the taxes.

 

We face uncertainties as to the reporting and other implications of certain past and future transactions where PRC taxable assets are involved, such as offshore restructuring, sale of the Shares in our offshore subsidiaries and investments. Our company may be subject to filing obligations or may be taxed if our company is a transferor in such transactions, and may be subject to withholding obligations if our company is a transferee in such transactions, under SAT Bulletin 7 and/or SAT Bulletin 37. For transfers of Shares of our company by investors who are non-PRC resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiary may be requested to assist in the filing under SAT Bulletin 7 and/or SAT Bulletin 37. As a result, we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Bulletin 7 and/or SAT Bulletin 37 or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these circulars, or to establish that our company should not be taxed under these circulars, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections.

 

Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the PRC and enjoys a high degree of autonomy under the “one country, two systems” principle. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s constitutional document, the Basic Law, ensures that the current political situation will remain in effect for 50 years until the year 2047. Hong Kong has enjoyed the freedom to function in a high degree of autonomy for its affairs, including currencies, immigration and custom, independent judiciary system and parliamentary system. However, we are not in any position to guarantee the implementation of the “one country, two systems” principle and the level of autonomy as currently in place at the moment. Any changes in the state of political environment in Hong Kong may materially and adversely affect our business and operation. We cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We may fail to maintain and grow our customer base or keep our customers engaged through our services.

 

Our business growth depends significantly on our ability to retain existing customers and attract new clients to our internet hosting and related services. To sustain and expand our market presence, we must consistently maintain our current levels of client service. If we fail to deliver consistent service quality, customer satisfaction may decline, leading to attrition or reduced adoption rates. The internet hosting industry is highly competitive, with rapidly changing technology trends and customer expectations. If we do not anticipate market shifts, innovate our service offerings, or enhance user experience, our customer growth may stagnate or even decline.

 

Additionally, the success of new hosting products, cloud solutions, or value-added services is subject to market acceptance. There is no guarantee that newly launched services will gain immediate traction or retain long-term demand. Service outages, security vulnerabilities, or failure to meet performance benchmarks could damage our reputation, driving customers to competitors offering perceived better solutions.

 

Hence, it is imperative that we maintain our service standards, invest in infrastructure, continue to focus on innovation and engage our customers. Failure to execute these strategies effectively could result in slower growth, revenue decline, or loss of market share in the competitive hosting industry.

 

31
 

 

 

We may face increasing competition which may affect our ability to retain existing customers or expand existing customer usage of our solutions.

 

The markets of internet hosting and cloud services in which we compete are highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and fragmented, with both local and global players vying for market share. We face competition from local hosting providers in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan; from global cloud and infrastructure giants as we expand regionally; and from emerging niche providers specializing in low-cost, high-performance and/or compliance-specific hosting solutions. This competition could result in price erosion reducing our profit margins. higher customer acquisition costs due to aggressive marketing by rivals, and loss of market share if competitors offer superior technology, scalability, or bundled services.

 

Our competitors may have longer-term and more extensive relationships with potential customers that provide them with an advantage that we may be unable to overcome. Further, to the extent that one of our competitors establishes or strengthens a cooperative relationship with, or acquires, one or more software application, data analytics, compliance, or network vendors, it could adversely affect our ability to compete.

 

We may also face competition from companies entering our market. Many existing and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, such as:

 

  greater financial resources for infrastructure, research and development, and acquisitions;
  established brand recognition and long-term customer trust;
  economies of scale, allowing them to undercut pricing or offer premium features; and
  exclusive partnerships with software vendors or data center operators, limiting our access to key technologies.

 

These competitive pressures in our markets or our failure to compete effectively may result in declining customer retention, especially if competitors provide better uptime, security, or support, slower revenue growth due to pricing wars or customer migration, and inability to penetrate new markets against entrenched players. Any failure to meet and address these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Hence, it is important for us to remain competitive to invest in new technology and infrastructure, such as faster networks, edge computing, green data centers, enhance service reliability and service level agreements (“SLAs”) to justify premium positioning, leverage localized support and compliance including Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (“PDPA”), ASEAN data sovereignty laws, to develop strategic partnerships with SaaS providers, cybersecurity firms, and telecom operators, and to focus on customer-centric flexibility, such as scalable plans, hybrid cloud options, 24/7 technical support.

 

Our future performance will be highly dependent on our ability to grow revenues from new feature functionality and deeper adoption of our products and services.

 

To sustain and enhance our financial standing, we must expand revenue streams by developing new features and introducing value-added services, and drive deeper adoption of our solutions within our existing customer base. We must continuously innovate and enhance our service portfolio enhancement to ensure our offerings remain technologically competitive, secure, and scalable in line with evolving market demands.

 

32
 

 

One of the significant risks lies in the evolving landscape of customer expectations. Businesses now demand high-uptime hosting, seamless scalability, and integrated security features such as DDoS protection and WAF. Failing to provide cutting-edge solutions such as AI-ready infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and edge computing could potentially lead to reduced customer retention or even migration to competitors. Staying ahead in the competitive arena poses another challenge. We face competition from global cloud providers, as well as regional hosting firms that may offer lower pricing, bundled services, or superior technology. The ability to monetize new features, such as automated backups and compliance-as-a-service, hinges on a clear value proposition and effective customer education. Furthermore, there are inherent revenue growth risks that we must mitigate. Slow adoption of new services due to customer inertia or lack of awareness, high R&D and infrastructure costs for innovation impacting short-term profitability, and potential pricing pressure from competitors offering similar functionalities at lower costs all contribute to the complexity of maintaining and growing our revenue streams.

 

If the market for cloud-based solutions develops more slowly than we expect or changes in a way that we fail to anticipate, our sales would suffer and our results of operations would be adversely affected.

 

While a significant portion of our revenue is generated from colocation, dedicated servers, and hybrid infrastructure, we also resell third-party cloud services such as AWS and Azure, as part of our integrated solutions. We do not know whether our prospective customers will continue to adopt cloud-based products such as our software solutions, or whether the market will change in ways we do not anticipate. If demand for these cloud services grows more slowly than we anticipate, or if large-scale data center or cloud service providers that offer highly scalable and elastic computing resources (known as hyperscalers) change their partner programs, it could impact this portion of our business. There are risks such as delays in cloud adoption within target markets due to factors including security and compliance concerns, cost sensitivity, or legacy system dependencies, which could potentially reduce demand for our cloud reselling and management services. As a reseller of third-party cloud services, we are subject to changes in hyperscaler partner programs, including margin compression if cloud providers reduce partner incentives and policy changes that could affect our ability to bundle services. While we benefit when customers combine our colocation or bare metal with cloud, market confusion about hybrid solutions could slow down the adoption of cloud-based solutions.

 

We may not accurately predict the long-term rate of customer subscription renewals or adoption of our solutions, or any resulting impact on our revenues or operating results.

 

Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our solutions and services after the expiration of the initial or current subscription term, and our customers, if they choose to renew at all, may renew for shorter subscription terms, or on less favorable usage-based or volume-based pricing terms. Since we have only been tracking our retention rates since November of 2020, we have limited historical data with respect to rates of customer subscription renewals and cannot be certain of anticipated renewal rates. Our renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our customers’ satisfaction with our pricing or our solutions and services or their ability to continue their operations or spending levels. If our customers do not renew their subscriptions for our solutions and services on similar pricing terms, our revenues may decline and our business could suffer.

 

Additionally, as the markets for our solutions develop, or as new or existing competitors introduce new solutions or services that compete with ours, we may experience pricing pressure and be unable to renew our agreements with existing customers or we may be unable to attract new customers based on the same subscription models that we have used historically or at fee levels that are consistent with our pricing models and operating budget. Moreover, large or influential customers may demand more favorable pricing or other contract terms from us. As a result, we may in the future be required to change our pricing model, reduce our prices or accept other unfavorable contract terms, any of which could adversely affect our revenues, gross margin, profitability, financial position, and/or cash flow. Our pricing strategy for new solutions we introduce may prove to be unappealing to our potential customers and our competitors could choose to bundle certain solutions and services competitive with ours. If this were to occur, it is possible that we would have to change our pricing strategies or reduce our prices, which could harm our business, operating results, and growth prospects.

 

33
 

 

As the number of customers that we serve increases, we may encounter implementation challenges, and these challenges may require us to delay revenue recognition for some complex engagements, which would harm our business and operating results.

 

As our customer base expands, we may face unexpected implementation challenges related to the complexity of our customers’ implementation and integration requirements. This could lead to deployment delays for colocation, bare metal, or hybrid cloud solutions, potentially increasing operational costs due to configuration demands and deferring revenue recognition for intricate engagements involving milestone-based billing. Key risk factors include bottlenecks in infrastructure deployment such as delays in physical hardware installations arising from data center capacity constraints, lengthy custom hardware procurement lead times, and client-side readiness issues such as delayed rack space preparation. Integration challenges may also emerge in hybrid cloud setups combining our colocation services with third-party cloud solutions, necessitating extended configuration and testing periods alongside client-specific security and compliance validations. Moreover, sustaining high-touch customer support for a growing clientele poses resource scalability pressures, requiring strategic hiring and training of technical staff while balancing standardized processes with custom demands. In complex projects such as multi-rack deployments or hybrid cloud migrations, revenue recognition may span over time rather than being immediate, with acceptance testing delays potentially deferring income recognition.

 

We are implementing mitigation strategies to manage these risks, which are further described in “Business -Managing Our Growth.” However, we cannot assure that our mitigation strategies will be successful.

 

Failure to maintain effective user support could harm our reputation or decrease market acceptance of our services.

 

Our business focuses on our direct, expert-level support, which is a crucial element for clients utilizing our colocation, bare metal, and hybrid cloud solutions. However, as we undergo expansion, sustaining this high-touch support model poses challenges that, if not effectively managed, could impact customer satisfaction and market perception.

 

Outlined risks include the potential erosion of support quality during scaling, necessitating proportional hiring of skilled technicians to match customer growth and ongoing training on emerging technologies such as hybrid cloud integrations and hardware troubleshooting. Failure to scale support capacity could result in extended resolution times for critical issues, potentially leading to client frustration, particularly among high-value enterprises that utilize SLAs. Moreover, there is a risk of reputational damage stemming from support gaps, as poor support experiences in the hosting industry often translate into public negative reviews on trust portals and forums, potentially undermining referrals that can drive a significant portion of our business. Additionally, a competitive disadvantage could arise if rivals offer 24/7 dedicated teams or leverage AI/automation for faster query resolution than our comparable offerings.

 

We are implementing mitigation strategies to manage these risks, which are further described in “Business -Managing Our Growth.” However, we cannot assure that the above mitigation strategies will be successful.

 

In the event that our support quality ever does erode, it could adversely affect our business, reputation and financial performance.

 

Defects, errors or any other problems associated with our products and services could diminish demand for our products or services, harm our business and results of operations and subject us to liability.

 

Our customers use our products and services for important aspects of their businesses, and any errors, defects, disruptions to and any other performance problems with our products and services could damage our customers’ businesses and, in turn, hurt our brand and reputation. We provide mission-critical infrastructure services, which brings forth the realization that even minor disruptions can have a significant impact on client operations. Despite our adherence to stringent quality standards, potential service issues pose several risks to our business, The risks include concerns related to infrastructure reliability such as hardware failures in colocation or bare metal offerings, network outages affecting connectivity, and performance degradation in hybrid cloud solutions. Further, third-party component risks encompass defects in server hardware sourced from OEM suppliers, vulnerabilities within the cloud platforms we resell, and firmware/BIOS issues impacting system stability. Operational impacts such as client downtime resulting in SLA penalties, data center outages, reputational damage in target markets, and increased support costs for issue resolution are also key concerns.

 

34
 

 

To effectively mitigate these risks, we have implemented the following strategies:

 

  multi-layered quality assurance involving pre-deployment testing of all hardware configurations, continuous network monitoring with automated alerts, and regular resilience testing of critical systems;
  vendor management protocols including a strict qualification process for hardware suppliers, clear escalation paths with cloud provider partners, and inventory diversification to prevent single points of failure’
  transparent incident management comprising a 24/7/365 network operations center (“NOC”) with defined response procedures, root cause analysis for all major incidents, and proactive client communication during outages;
  service resilience features such as redundant power and cooling in all facilities, multiple network carrier connections, patch management policies and on-site spare parts inventory; and
  financial safeguards such as maintaining appropriate insurance coverage, setting aside reserve funds for potential SLA credits, and enforcing vendor warranty processes.

 

There can be no assurances that we will always be able to manage these risks effectively.

 

Any loss or deterioration of our relationship with our business partners may result in the loss of customers and revenues.

 

The relationships with our business partners in software and hardware hold significant influence on our operations. We often adhere to the established service terms and conditions of these partners concerning the distribution and operation for our products and services. If any of these business partners (i) goes out of business, (ii) discontinues its relationship with us for any reason, such as our failure to comply with any laws or regulations in any jurisdiction where our products and services are offered, (iii) limits our access to its products and platforms, (iv) modifies its terms of services or other policies, (v) changes its fee structure, (vi) provides more favorable terms to our competitors or (vii) is forced to cease its business relationship with us due to its lack of required licenses or permits or other regulatory compliance issues, our business could be adversely affected.

 

In addition, we have benefited from the widely recognized brand names and large user bases of our business partners. If any of these partners loses its market position or otherwise falls out of favor among the internet industry or other factors cause its user base to stop growing or shrink, or if any of them fails to perform its contractual obligations to us, we would need to identify alternative channels for distributing and operating our products and services, which would consume substantial resources and may not be effective or available.

 

We may not be successful in effectively promoting our brands, and any negative publicity may harm our brands and the specific products and services we provide.

 

Our brands and the products we sell and services we provide have gained recognition among the industry. Promoting these brands and enhancing their recognition is an integral part of our growth strategies. However, we may not be able to effectively promote or develop our brands and, if we fail to do so, our growth may be adversely affected. In addition, any negative publicity or dispute in relation to us regarding our brands, products and services, company or management, regardless of their veracity, could harm the image of our brands and the services we provide, which in turn may reduce the number of customers and users of our services. Any impact on our ability to effectively promote our brands and any significant damage to the public perception of our brands or our products and services could materially and adversely affect our prospects and results of operations.

 

35
 

 

Third parties may claim that we have infringed their proprietary rights, which could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and prevent us from promoting our products and services.

 

Some of the products and services by us involve the use of third-party products and platforms. Although prior to use we conduct due diligence with respect to the products and platforms, these steps may prove inadequate. Any unresolved claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation and distract our management from day-to-day operations. If we fail to successfully defend against such claims, we could be required to withdraw the affected products and services and/or pay monetary damages. This exposure to liability could materially and adversely disrupt our business and affect our operating results.

 

Some of our employees were previously employed at other companies, including our main competitors. We may hire additional personnel to expand our development team and technical support team as our business grows. To the extent these employees were involved in the development of content or technology similar to ours at their former employers, we may become subject to claims that these employees or we have appropriated proprietary information or intellectual properties of the former employers of our employees. If we fail to successfully defend such claims against us, we may be exposed to liabilities which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

To mitigate this risk, we employ stringent documentation of our processes and procedures in compliance with intellectual property rights and with the counsel of a legal advisor or a team of legal advisors. However, we can not assure that we always will be able to avoid this risk.

 

We may be unable to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.

 

As an infrastructure service provider, we grapple with unique intellectual property exposure challenges distinct from those encountered by software companies, necessitating critical considerations for protection. The Company’s core IP protection challenges are multifaceted. Our primary offerings heavily rely on third-party hardware and software, with notable proprietary technology existing solely within the WAF solution. Trade secrets are primarily embedded in custom configurations and service methodologies. Regional IP enforcement limitations pose a significant concern, with protections in Malaysian and Hong Kong potentially being less stringent compared to the U.S. or EU standards, encompassing patent and copyright enforcement and trade secret case law precedents. Moreover, practical challenges in pursuing cross-border infringements further complicate the IP protection landscape. The service model adopted by us inherently reduces certain risks. Cloud reselling operations involve licensed platforms where core IP protection is managed by providers. Colocation services prioritize physical security over digital IP, while bare metal offerings adhere to standard server configurations. To fortify our IP protection stance, we have implemented key strategies focusing on safeguarding WAF technology through regular code obfuscation, encryption updates, and stringent internal access controls to development environments. Operational knowledge protection is ensured through comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) for technical staff, segmented access to client-specific configurations, and maintaining a documented chain of custody for hardware handling. Brand protection measures include securing trademark registrations in operational markets, monitoring for service mark infringements, and establishing clear branding guidelines for partners. However, we cannot guarantee that these measures will be successful.

 

We cannot guarantee that our future monetization strategies will be successfully implemented or generate sustainable revenues and profit.

 

We have developed a diversified revenue model where we explore additional opportunities to monetize our customer base and technology by, for example, promoting additional value-added services to end users to generate more subscription fees. If these efforts fail to achieve our anticipated results, we may not be able to increase or maintain our revenue growth. Specifically, in order to increase the number of our customers and end users and their levels of spending, we will need to address a number of challenges, including providing consistent quality products and services; continuing to innovate and train our staff in the latest technologies to stay ahead of our competitors; and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our sales and marketing efforts. If we fail to address any of these challenges, we may not be successful in increasing the number of our customers and end users and their expenditures with us, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

36
 

 

We may incur net losses and net operating cash outflows in the future.

 

We did not incur net losses in the last two fiscal years. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, we recorded a net income of approximately $1,917,578 and $1,165,659, respectively, and a net operating cash inflow of $3,033,848 and $1,495,253, from our operating activities respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $331,837 and a net operating cash of $481,970. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate net profits or positive operating cash flows in the future. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability depends in large part on our ability to expand our user base, improve monetization, and manage our costs and expenses. Our profitability is affected by various factors beyond our control, such as the regulatory environment, the macroeconomic condition, and competitive dynamics in the industry. Accordingly, you should not rely on our financial results of any prior period as an indication of our future performance.

 

The laws and regulations regulating internet and information system in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan and worldwide continue to evolve and change, which may make it difficult for us to obtain or maintain all applicable permits and approvals.

 

We are required to obtain licenses, permits and approvals from different regulatory authorities in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan in order to conduct our business. We have obtained relevant business licenses to conduct our business operations.

 

Moreover, as we expand our businesses, we may be required to obtain new licenses and be subject to additional laws and regulations in the markets in which we plan to operate. If we fail to obtain, maintain or renew any required licenses or approvals or make any necessary filings or are found to require licenses or approvals that we believed were not necessary, we may be subject to various penalties, such as confiscation of the revenue or assets that were generated through the unlicensed business activities, imposition of fines, suspension or cancelation of the applicable license, written reprimands, termination of third-party arrangements, criminal prosecution and discontinuation or restriction of our business operations.

 

We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to obtain all requisite permits, licenses and approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and any failure to do so could result in penalties, or requirements to curtail or cease operating all or parts of our business, any of which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

Operations in international markets may subject us to additional business, political, regulatory, operational, financial and economic risks, any of which could increase our costs and hinder such growth.

 

We generated 11.1% and 18.6% of our total gross revenue from customers who located outside Malaysia and Hong Kong for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we generated 19.9% of our total gross revenue from customers who located outside Malaysia and Hong Kong. Further expansion into overseas markets is important for our growth. We face risks associated with expanding into markets where we have limited or no experience or recognition. We may be unable to attract a sufficient number of customers, fail to anticipate competitive conditions or face difficulties in operating effectively in these new markets. Due to the evolving and potentially conflicting regulatory environment over the information technology industry across the globe, we may be required to comply with more stringent compliance requirements in overseas markets. Failure to timely comply with them may adversely affect our business overseas.

 

37
 

 

Successful operations in international markets depend on a number of factors, including our ability to:

 

  identify appropriate overseas markets;
     
  localize services and adapt them to local preferences;
     
  compete with local operators, publishers and operators with existing market shares and experience;
     
  comply with applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions;
     
  identify appropriate partners and establish and maintain cooperative relationships with them;
     
  manage costs associated with doing business in foreign jurisdictions; and
     
  address the impact of potential political, economic and social instability.

 

These and other risks associated with international activities could also significantly affect our financial condition and operating results.

 

Our business generates and processes a large amount of data, and the improper use or disclosure of such data may harm our reputation and business.

 

Our business generates and processes a large quantity of transaction, demographic and behavioral data. It faces risks inherent in handling large volumes of data and in protecting the security of such data, including those relating to:

 

  protecting the data in and hosted on our system, including against attacks on our system by outside parties or fraudulent behavior by our employees; and
     
  addressing concerns related to privacy and sharing, safety, security and other factors.

 

We are subject to laws and regulations of Malaysia, Hong Kong and other countries and regions relating to the collection, use, retention, security and transfer of identifiable information with respect to our customers and employees. In many cases, these laws not only apply to third-party transactions, but may also restrict cross- border transfers of identifiable information. Several jurisdictions have passed laws in this area, and other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional restrictions. These laws continue to develop and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Complying with emerging and changing international requirements may cause us to incur substantial costs or require it to change its business practices. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any privacy policies or regulatory requirements or laws, rules and regulations related to privacy protection could result in proceedings or actions against it by government authorities or others. These proceedings or actions may subject us to significant penalties and negative publicity, require us to change our business practices, increase our costs and severely disrupt its business.

 

In addition, the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks is essential for maintaining user confidence. We do not have control over the security measures of our third-party payment channel partners, and their security measures may not be adequate. We could be exposed to litigation and possible liability if we fail to safeguard confidential user information, which could harm our reputation and its ability to attract or retain users, and may materially and adversely affect our business.

 

The growth of our business may be adversely affected due to breaches of our security measures and unintended disclosures of our intellectual property or our user data.

 

We collect and store an increasing amount of user non-personal data during the course of our business. We rely on proprietary encryption and authentication technology to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of this information, such as user login names and corporate information of our customers. It is possible that our security controls over such user data may not prevent the improper disclosure of information. A party who is able to circumvent these security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. A security breach that leads to disclosure of user account information could harm our reputation and subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data, resulting in increased costs or loss of revenue. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to prevent such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. We may also lose our current customers or deter potential customers from using our products and services that require the collection of user data because of the perception that we cannot adequately protect our users’ privacy.

 

38
 

 

Any failure or significant interruption in our technology infrastructure could impact its operations and harm our business.

 

Our technology infrastructure is critical to the performance of our services and to customers’ satisfaction. If a particular service is unavailable when customers attempt to access it, they may stop their subscription to our services, if at all. Accordingly, failure or significant interruption in our technology infrastructure would harm our reputation and operations. Some elements of our technology infrastructure are maintained by third parties beyond our control. Our infrastructure is also vulnerable to damage from fires, floods, earthquakes, power loss, and telecommunication failures. To mitigate this risk, we engage in disaster recovery and business continuity strategies with hot and cold disaster recovery solutions throughout our data centers across Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and other regions. This means that critical data can be backed up to ensure minimal data loss in the event of a disaster. Furthermore, customer and internal applications have mirror copies that can be run off secondary servers at other data centers. However, we cannot assure that these mitigation strategies will be successful.

 

Our success depends on the continuing and collaborative efforts of our management team and other key personnel.

 

Our future success depends heavily upon the continuing services of our management team. If one or more of our executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Competition for management and key personnel in our industry in Malaysia, Hong Kong and worldwide is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our executives or key personnel, or attract and retain experienced executives or key personnel in the future. If any of our executives or other key personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose critical know-how. We have entered into an employment agreement with each of our executive officers and key employees, which contains confidentiality provisions. However, if any disputes arise between us and any of our executives or key personnel, we cannot assure you the extent to which any of these agreements may be enforced.

 

We are involved in litigation from time to time and, as a result, we could incur substantial judgments, fines, legal fees or other costs.

 

We and our directors and officers have been, and may in the future be, the subject of complaints or litigation from customers, employees, government authorities or other third parties for various actions. Litigation is often expensive and requires significant management time and attention. The proceedings we and our directors and officers may be involved in from time to time could incur substantial judgments, fines, legal fees or other costs, harm our reputation, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

We may need additional capital, and we may be unable to obtain such capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

To grow our business and remain competitive, we may require additional capital. Our ability to obtain additional capital is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

 

  our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
     
  general market conditions for capital raising activities by companies offering internet and mobile products and services; and
     
  economic, political and other conditions in Hong Kong and internationally.

 

We may be unable to obtain additional capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, our future capital needs and other business reasons could require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

 

39
 

 

We have limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

 

We maintain a of all property risk insurance to safeguard against risks and unexpected events for our office equipment and our employees. We also maintain employee compensation insurance. We do not maintain business interruption insurance or key-man life insurance. Any disruption in our network infrastructure or business operations, litigation or natural disaster may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of its resources. Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to compensate us for any loss and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully claim our losses under our current insurance policies on a timely basis, or at all. If we incur any loss that is not covered by our insurance policies, or the compensated amount is significantly less than our actual loss, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Breaches of and other types of security incidents could negatively impact our business, our brand and reputation, our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers, may cause us to incur significant liabilities and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

 

Our operation may necessitate periodic collection, usage, storage, transmission, or processing of data or information. While we take steps to mitigate our cyberattack risks and protect the confidential information that we may have access to, including but not limited to installation and periodical updates of antivirus software and backup of information on our computer systems, our security measures could be breached. Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. Any cybersecurity incident, accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access to our systems could cause confidential information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Cybersecurity incidents, security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, our relationships with our business partners could be severely damaged, we could incur significant liability, and our business and operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, if we fail to protect confidential information, we may be susceptible to potential claims such as breach of contract, negligence or other claims. Such claims will require significant time and resources to defend and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained. In addition, the costs to respond to a cybersecurity event or to mitigate any identified security vulnerabilities could be significant, including costs for remediating the effects of such an event, paying a ransom, restoring data from backups, and conducting data analysis to determine what data may have been affected by the breach. In addition, our efforts to contain or remediate a security breach or any system vulnerability may be unsuccessful, and our efforts and any related failures to contain or remediate any breach or vulnerabilities could result in interruptions, delays, loss in customer trust, harm to our reputation, and increases in our insurance premiums that we may acquire.

 

Changes in international trade policies, tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and financial performance.

 

There have recently been significant changes to international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials or other changes in trade policy could negatively affect our operations, supply chain, and the demand for our products and services.

 

Recently, the U.S. has implemented a range of new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed, are considering imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations and tariffs. and we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change in the future.

Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on our businesses. In particular, retaliatory tariffs could have a significant negative impact on our business that rely on imports from and exports to the United States, These tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade policy changes could negatively affect the availability and cost of materials, disrupt our supply chain, reduce demand for our products and services, and lead to increased costs, which may not be passed on to customers. Among other things, the impact of tariffs and other trade policy changes may render historical financial performance of our business or industry less relevant as a basis for predicting future performance.

 

We may not be able to adequately address the risks presented by these tariffs or other potential trade policy changes, which could lead to material adverse effects on our operations, financial condition, or results. Any such developments could also cause the market value of our securities to decline.

 

Unforeseeable events, such as a pandemic outbreak and local energy efficiency measures, could significantly disrupt our supply chain for a prolonged period of time.

 

Supply chain disruptions have become a major challenge for the global economy since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Shortages and slippage in production are significant and widespread in many industries. Lockdowns in several countries across the world, labor shortages, robust demand for tradable goods, disruptions to logistics networks, and capacity constraints have resulted in increases in freight costs and delivery times. Companies that are reliant on production or suppliers may suffer from plant closures and supply shortages across the extended supply network.

 

Malaysia and Hong Kong have already seen a rebound and a degree of normalization of supply and demand. The extent to which a COVID-19 or any pandemic outbreak in the future may impact supply chain, however, remains highly uncertain and unpredictable and the medical and other interventions to control the outbreak, as it depends on factors such as the geographic spread of COVID-19 or any pandemic, mutation of the virus, duration of the outbreak, governmental actions to contain the outbreak, such as travel restrictions, quarantines, lockdowns, business closures, and their impact on commercial activities.

 

40
 

 

We were not directly adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Hong Kong, our offices remained open during the entire pandemic, and any of our employees who tested positive for COVID-19 were required to report to the Hong Kong Center for Health Protection and be isolated or quarantined, and could only resume work in office after being tested negative. In Malaysia, our business operations continued without significant disruption during the pandemic. During periods of the Movement Control Order (MCO) where required, we obtained the necessary approvals from the Malaysian Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) to operate. We also implemented workplace protocols in line with government requirements and internal guidelines, including full-body sanitization at designated entry points, mandatory mask-wearing, physical distancing and remote work arrangements for employees showing COVID-19 symptoms. Our employees in both Hong Kong and Malaysia were able to continue our communication and cooperation with our customers and suppliers through telephone, electronic media and remote access to our information technology system.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 or any future pandemic may impact our operating subsidiaries’ business in the future will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extended period of time, the ability of our Malaysia operating subsidiaries to pursue their business objectives may be materially adversely affected. In addition, our ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be adversely impacted by COVID-19 and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 

Any future impact on the results of operations of our Malaysia operating subsidiaries will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the spread or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. Given the general slowdown in economic conditions globally, volatility in the capital markets as well as the general negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak in the global market, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain the growth rate we have experienced or projected. We will continue to closely monitor the situation throughout 2025 and beyond.

 

The wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

The outbreak of war in Ukraine has already affected global economic markets, including a dramatic increase in the price of oil and gas, and the uncertain resolution of this conflict could result in protracted and/or severe damage to the global economy. Russia’s military interventions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to, additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. Russia’s military incursion and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the global markets, our customers’ businesses and potentially our business. As of the date of this prospectus, to the best knowledge of the Company, we and our Malaysia and Hong Kong subsidiaries (i) do not have any direct business or contracts with any Russian or Ukraine entity as a supplier or customer, (ii) do not have any knowledge whether any our customers or suppliers have any direct business or contracts with any Russian entity, (iii) our business segments, products, lines of service, projects, or operations are not materially impacted by supply chain disruptions by the war in Ukraine, and (iv) have not been financially affected by the war in Ukraine. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or resulting sanctions may magnify the impact of other risks described in this section. We cannot predict the progress or outcome of the situation in Ukraine, as the conflict and governmental reactions are rapidly developing and beyond their control. Prolonged unrest, intensified military activities or more extensive sanctions impacting the region could have a material adverse effect on the global economy, and such effect could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

 

We do not anticipate any new or heightened risk of potential cyberattacks by state actors or others since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and we have not taken any actions to mitigate such potential risks. Our board of directors will continue to monitor any potential risks that might arise due to the war in Ukraine which are specific to the Company, including but not limited to risks related to cybersecurity, sanctions, and supply chain, suppliers, or service providers in affected regions as well as risks connected with ongoing or halted operations or investments in affected regions.

 

Similarly, the war in Gaza is unpredictable and may expand into a regional or even possibly a global conflict. To date, this newest chapter in the long Middle East conflict has not resulted in any material adverse impact on the Company, but a prolonged conflict and/or significant escalation of hostilities would likely cause disruption in international relations and global trade, which in turn would likely adversely affect our business and the price of our Shares.

 

Risks Related to Our Shares

 

There has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares prior to this offering; if an active trading market does not develop you may not be able to resell our Shares at any reasonable price, if at all.

 

The offering under this prospectus is an initial public offering of our Ordinary Shares. Prior to the closing of the offering, there was no public market for our Ordinary Shares. While we plan to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our listing application may not be approved. If our application to the Nasdaq Capital Market is not approved or we otherwise determine that we will not be able to secure the listing of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will not complete the offering. In addition, an active trading market may not develop following the closing or, if developed, may not be sustained. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your Ordinary Shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling Shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies by using our Ordinary Shares as consideration.

 

41
 

 

Our Ordinary Share price may never trade at or above the price in this offering.

 

Stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may significantly affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our Ordinary Shares shortly following this offering. If the market price of our Ordinary Shares after this offering does not ever exceed the initial public offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

 

The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares may not reflect their actual value.

 

The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares is and will be determined through negotiations between us and representatives of the underwriters. The price of our Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of their actual value or any future market price for our securities. This price may not accurately reflect the value of the Ordinary Shares or the value that potential investors will realize upon their disposition of Ordinary Shares. The price does not necessarily bear any relationship to our assets, earnings, book value per Ordinary Share or other generally accepted criteria of value.

 

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.

 

We are a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules because our Controlling Shareholder owns more than 50% of our total voting power. For so long as we remain a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including an exemption from the rule that a majority of our Board of Directors must be independent directors or that we have to establish a nominating committee and a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements. However, we voluntarily have a majority of independent directors and our Audit Committee consist of three independent directors.

 

Our Ordinary Share price may be volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Such rapid and substantial price volatility, including any stock run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares.

 

As mentioned above, the initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares will be determined by negotiations between us and representatives of the underwriters based on several factors. This price may vary from the market price of our Ordinary Shares after this offering and the price for our Ordinary Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in results of operations;
     
  actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors, as well as announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, changes in relationships with our target customers, service providers or suppliers, acquisitions or expansion plans;
     
  failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that we provide to the public, as well as variance in our financial performance from the expectations of market analysts;
     
  issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;
     
  Share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our Shares;

 

42
 

 

  additions or departures of key management or other personnel;
     
  our involvement in litigation;
     
  disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technology;
     
  announcement or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts;
     
  sales of our Shares or other securities by us, our insiders or our other shareholders, or the perception that these sales may occur in the future;
     
  the trading volume of our Shares;
     
  market conditions in our industry;
     
  changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of our markets;
     
  changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of our markets; and
     
  general economic, market or political conditions in the United States or elsewhere.

 

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our Ordinary Shares to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their Ordinary Shares and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, the stock market in general, and Nasdaq Capital Market and emerging growth companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Such rapid and substantial price volatility, including any stock run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. Such broad market fluctuations, and other factors (such as variations in operating results, and changes in regulations affecting us and our industry) may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares, if a market for them develops.

 

The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. Sales of a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could occur at any time. The sales of a substantial number of registered shares could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale or issuance of additional Ordinary Shares. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Volatility in our Share price may subject us to securities litigation.

 

The market for our Shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our Share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation, which could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

 

43
 

 

If we fail to meet applicable listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our Ordinary Shares from trading, in which case the liquidity and market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

 

Assuming our Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq in the future. If we fail to comply with the applicable listing standards and Nasdaq delists our Ordinary Shares, we and our shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our Ordinary Shares;
     
  reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;
     
  a determination that our Ordinary Shares are “penny stock”, which would require brokers trading in our Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;
     
  a limited amount of news about us and analyst coverage of us; and
     
  a decreased ability for us to issue additional equity securities or obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because we expect that our Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq, such securities will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

If you purchase our Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your Shares.

 

Investors purchasing our Ordinary Shares in this offering will pay a price per Share that substantially exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Share. As a result, investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution. For more information on the dilution you may experience as a result of investing in this offering, see “Dilution”.

 

Our Controlling Shareholder has significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our Controlling Shareholder holds 70.8% of our Shares. After this offering, the Controlling Shareholder will hold 66.3% or more of our Shares. As a result, the Controlling Shareholder will be able to control the management and affairs of our Company and most matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. The interests of the Controlling Shareholder may not be the same as or may even conflict with your interests. For example, our Controlling Shareholder could attempt to delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if such change in control would benefit our other shareholders, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Shares as part of a sale of us or our assets, and might affect the prevailing market price of our Shares due to investors’ perceptions that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. As a result, this concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders.

 

Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing because we plan to have a small public offering and our insiders will hold a large portion of our listed securities.

 

Under Listing Rule 5101, Nasdaq has discretionary authority to deny initial listing, apply additional or more stringent criteria for the initial or continued listing of particular securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq.

 

44
 

 

Additionally, Nasdaq has used its discretion to deny initial or continued listing or to apply additional and more stringent criteria in the instances, including but not limited to: (i) where the company engaged an auditor that has not been subject to an inspection by PCAOB, an auditor that PCAOB cannot inspect, or an auditor that has not demonstrated sufficient resources, geographic reach, or experience to adequately perform the company’s audit; (ii) where the company planned a small public offering, which would result in insiders holding a large portion of the company’s listed securities. Nasdaq was concerned that the offering size was insufficient to establish the company’s initial valuation, and there would not be sufficient liquidity to support a public market for the company; and (iii) where the company did not demonstrate sufficient nexus to the U.S. capital market, including having no U.S. shareholders, operations, or members of the board of directors or management. Our initial public offering will be relatively small and the insiders of our company will hold a large portion of the Company’s listed securities following the consummation of the offering. Therefore, we may be subject to the additional and more stringent criteria of Nasdaq for our initial and continued listing.

 

We have no immediate plans to pay dividends.

 

We plan to reinvest all of our future earnings, to the extent we have earnings, in order to expand our product offering and to cover operating costs, finance operations and to otherwise become and remain competitive. We do not plan to pay any cash dividends with respect to our securities in the foreseeable future. As we are a company with a limited operating history, we may not be able to generate, at any time, sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution to the holders of our Shares as a dividend. Therefore, you should not expect to receive immediate cash dividends on the Shares we are offering. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their Shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. In addition, the laws of the Cayman Islands impose restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends.

 

Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information at all, which could cause our Ordinary Share price or trading volume to decline.

 

If a trading market for our Ordinary Shares develops, the trading market will be influenced to some extent by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. As a newly public company, we may be slow to attract research coverage and the analysts who publish information about our Ordinary Shares will have had relatively little experience with us or our industry, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast our results and could make it more likely that we fail to meet their estimates. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our Ordinary Share price, our Ordinary Share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports covering us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our Share price or trading volume to decline and result in the loss of all or a part of your investment in us.

 

Investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us, our directors and management.

 

Gigabit Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and all of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. Moreover, many of these persons do not have significant assets in the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to recover against us or them on judgments of U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.

 

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, or entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors and officers predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws. Further, there is no treaty in effect between the United States and the Cayman Islands providing for the enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters, and there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States. Some remedies available under the laws of U.S. jurisdictions, including remedies available under the U.S. federal securities laws, may not be allowed in the Cayman Islands courts if contrary to public policy in the Cayman Islands. As a result of all of the above, it may be difficult for you to recover against us or our directors and officers based upon such judgments.

The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the protection of the interest of minority shareholders are different from those in the United States.

 

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, and by the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Act (Cayman)”) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, action by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands.

 

The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the protection of the interests of minority shareholders differ in certain respects from those established under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in the United States and other jurisdictions. Such differences may mean that the remedies available to our minority shareholders may be different from those they would have under the laws of other jurisdictions, including the United States. Potential investors should be aware that there is a risk that provisions of the Companies Act may not offer the same protection as the relevant laws and regulations in the United States may offer, and should consider obtaining independent legal advice on the implications of investing in foreign-incorporated companies.

 

Our status as a “foreign private issuer” under the SEC rules will exempt us from the U.S. proxy rules and the more detailed and frequent Exchange Act, reporting obligations applicable to a U.S. domestic public company.

 

Upon the closing of this offering, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on a timely basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell our Shares. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers also are exempt from Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are not foreign private issuers.

 

Our status as a foreign private issuer under the Nasdaq rules will allow us to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters which may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to a U.S. domestic Nasdaq listed company.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to take advantage of certain provisions in the Nasdaq rules that allow us to follow our home country law for certain governance matters. Certain corporate governance practices in our home country, the Cayman Islands, may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards. Currently, we do not plan to rely on any home country practices with respect to our corporate governance after we complete this offering. Under the Nasdaq rules, we may in the future decide to use the home country practices exemption with respect to some or all of the other corporate governance rules, provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the home country practices we are following. However, if we choose to follow home country practices in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they would otherwise enjoy under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

 

Upon consummation of this offering, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. Compliance with U.S. laws and regulations and the Nasdaq rules increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. As a public company, we will be required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We have incurred additional costs in obtaining director and officer liability insurance. In addition, we incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.

 

Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) and will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least US$1.235 billion; or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior 3-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. If we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important. The JOBS Act also provides an emerging growth company with the permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We do not plan to opt-out of such exemptions afforded to an emerging growth company. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective data.

 

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company,” we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our reporting is not as transparent as the reporting of other companies in our industry. Such differences may prevent us from raising additional capital in the public market as and when we need it.

 

We may allocate the net proceeds from this offering in ways that differ from the estimates discussed in the section titled “Use of Proceeds” and with which you may not agree.

 

The allocation of net proceeds of the offering set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section below represents our estimates based upon our current plans and assumptions regarding the industry and general economic conditions, and our future revenues and expenditures. We anticipate that we will use the net proceeds from this offering for geographical expansion, market penetration and working capital. However, the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations, business developments and rate of growth. Management has broad discretion over the use of proceeds of this offering and we may find it necessary or advisable to use all or portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes. Circumstances that may give rise to a change in the use of proceeds and the alternate purposes for which the proceeds may be used are discussed in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” You may not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use our proceeds. As a result, you and other shareholders may not agree with our decisions. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or preserve value. See “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

There can be no assurance that we will not be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could subject United States investors in our Shares to significant adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

 

In general, we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the Section of this prospectus captioned “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of our securities, the U.S. Holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis applying principles and methodologies that in some circumstances are unclear and subject to varying interpretation. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules in light of their individual circumstances.

 

Our directors and officers currently own an aggregate of 74.8% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares representing 74.8% of the total voting power, and approximately 70.05% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares representing approximately 70.05% of the total voting power immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. 

 

Currently, our directors and officers collectively own an aggregate of approximately 74.8% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares representing approximately 74.8% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Our directors and officers will collectively own an aggregate of approximately 70.05% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares representing approximately 70.05% of the total voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. These beneficial owners could have significant influence on determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of directors and other significant corporate actions. In cases where their interests are aligned and they vote together, these beneficial owners will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Without the consent of some or all of these shareholders, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. The interests of these beneficial owners may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our Ordinary Shares may cause a material decline in the value of our Ordinary Shares. For more information regarding our beneficial owners and their affiliated entities, see “Principal Shareholders.”

 

You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

 

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to convene a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 10 percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting, to convene a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least 21 clear days is required for the convening of an annual general meeting, and advance notice of at least 5 clear days is required for the convening our any other general meetings. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of the outstanding shares of our company carrying the right to vote at such general meeting.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by the use of words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this prospectus. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. You must carefully consider any such statements and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

  our future financial and operating results, including revenues, income, expenditures, cash balances and other financial items;

 

  our ability to execute our growth, expansion and acquisition strategies, including our ability to meet our goals;

 

  current and future economic and political conditions;

 

  our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our services and the products and services we assist the distributions of;

 

  our expectations regarding our client base;

 

  competition in our industry;

 

  relevant government policies and regulations relating to our industry;

 

  our capital requirements and our ability to raise any additional financing which we may require;

 

  overall industry and market performance; and

 

  other assumptions described in this prospectus underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.

 

We describe material risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect our business, including our financial condition and results of operations, under “Risk Factors.” We base our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should be careful about relying on any forward-looking statements. Except as required under the federal securities laws, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

 

Industry Data and Forecasts

 

This prospectus contains certain data and information including industry data and information from Frost & Sullivan. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. The information technology industry in Malaysia and Hong Kong may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of our industry to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ business and the market price of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, the rapidly changing nature of the information technology industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industry. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

After deducting the estimated underwriters’ discount and offering expenses payable by us, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $3,869,060 (or $4,562,810) in the aggregate if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) from this offering.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows, after we complete the remittance process:

 

  ● Business

Expansion: 66%

Includes increased infrastructure, such as more servers, more racks and more data centers, as well as geographical expansion

     
  ● Market Penetration

9%

Includes sales and marketing initiatives

     
  ● Working Capital 25%
    Includes investment in our procurement system and additional hires, among others

 

The precise amounts and percentage of proceeds we devote to particular categories of activity, and their priority of use, will depend on prevailing market and business conditions as well as on the nature of particular opportunities that may arise from time to time. Accordingly, we reserve the right to change the use of proceeds that we presently anticipate and describe herein.

 

The foregoing is set forth based on the order of priority of each purpose and represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

 

The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors, subject to compliance with applicable Cayman Islands laws regarding solvency. Our board of directors will take into account general economic and business conditions, our financial condition and results of operations, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and other implications on the payment of dividends by us to our shareholders or by our subsidiaries to us, and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, our board of directors may authorize payment of a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount out of profits or our share premium account, if shares have been issued at a premium. No dividend may be paid out of our share premium account unless immediately following the payment we are able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Subject to compliance with applicable solvency requirements, there is no further Cayman Islands statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend.

 

50
 

 

As we are a holding company, we rely on dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries for our cash requirements, including funds to pay any dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders, service any debt we may incur and pay our operating expenses. Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders will depend on, among other things, the availability of dividends from our Malaysia subsidiaries Gigabit MY and Gigabit Space, and our Hong Kong subsidiary Gigabit HK.

 

Cash dividends, if any, on our Shares will be paid in U.S. dollars.

 

As an exempted company, we are not subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands. Our shareholders will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands with respect to their shares and dividends received on those shares, nor will they be subject to any estate or inheritance taxes in the Cayman Islands.

The additional paid in capital reflects the net proceeds we expect to receive, after deducting underwriting discounts, underwriters expense allowance and other expenses.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our Ordinary Shares, you will incur immediate dilution since the public offering price per share you will pay in this offering is more than the net tangible book value per ordinary share immediately after this offering.

 

The net tangible book value of our Ordinary Shares as of June 30, 2025 was $4,644,104, or $0.25 per share, (based upon 18,750,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025). Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Tangible assets equal our total assets less intangible assets, deferred tax assets and deferred offering cost.

 

The dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors, represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to the sale of the 1,250,000 shares being sold pursuant to the offering price of $4 per share, and after deducting underwriters’ discount and commission payable by us in the amount of $375,000 and estimated offering expenses in the amount of $755,940, our pro forma net tangible book value would be approximately $8,513,164 or $0.43 per share of Ordinary Shares. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.18 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of $3.57 per share to new investors purchasing the shares in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

    

As of

June 30, 2025

 
      
Public offering price per ordinary share  $ 4  
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025   $

0.25

 
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors purchasing shares in this offering  $ 0.18  
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering  $ 0.43  
Dilution per share to new investors  $ 3.57  

 

Our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value after the offering, and the decrease to new investors in the offering, will change from the amounts shown above if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised.

 

The following table sets forth, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of the date of this prospectus, the difference between the number of Ordinary Shares purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid, and the average price per share paid by our existing shareholders and by new public investors before deducting estimated underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, using an assumed public offering price of $4 per ordinary share:

 

   Shares Purchased   Total Cash Consideration  

Average

Price Per

 
   Number   Percent   Amount   Percent   Share 
Existing shareholders    18,750,000      93.75 %  $ 116,852      2.28 %  $ 0.01
New investors from public offering    1,250,000      6.25 %  $ 5,000,000      97.72 %  $ 4.00  
Total    20,000,000     100.00%  $ 5,116,852      100.00 %  $ 0.26  

 

The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public offering price of our Ordinary Shares and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

 

The chart below illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus and upon giving effect to our Group’s initial public offering:

 

 

Name   Background   Ownership
Gigabit Inc.   Incorporated on December 17, 2024 under the laws of Cayman Islands as an exempted company.   70.8% owned by Mr. Teoh Paik Yau, 8.7% owned by Mr. Teoh Paik Loon, 4.0% owned by Ms. Ng Kai Ying and 16.5% owner by other shareholders
         
Gigabit MY   Incorporated on October 18, 2007 as a private company limited by shares under the laws of Malaysia. Acquired by Gigabit Inc. on May 29, 2025.   100% owned by Gigabit Inc.
         
Gigabit HK   Incorporated on October 3, 2018 as a private company limited by shares under the laws of Hong Kong. Acquired by Gigabit Inc. on May 19, 2025.   100% owned by Gigabit Inc.
         
Gigabit Space   Incorporated on April 23, 2024 as a private company limited by shares under the laws of Malaysia.   80% owned by Gigabit MY; 20% owned by Mr. Justine Lim Pun Seng

 

We are not a Hong Kong or a mainland China operating company, but an offshore holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 17 December 2024. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our operating company in Malaysia, Gigabit MY and our operating company in Hong Kong, Gigabit HK. This is an offering of the Shares of Gigabit Inc., the holding company in the Cayman Islands, instead of the shares of Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK.

 

On October 18, 2007, our operating subsidiary in Malaysia, Gigabit MY, was incorporated under the laws of Malaysia and principally engaged in provision of internet services and trading of computer hardware and software and other information technology activities. The Group first began operations on October 18, 2007, through its operating subsidiary, Gigabit MY. Gigabit Space was incorporated on April 23, 2024 , under the laws of Malaysia as an operating entity primarily engaged in cloud object storage and other information technology activities, with Gigabit MY holding an 80% equity interest.

 

On October 3, 2018, our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong, Gigabit HK, was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong and principally engaged in the provision of internet services, software, and other information technology activities.

 

With the growth of business and in order to facilitate international capital raising, the Company underwent a reorganization in 2025. As part of the reorganization, (i) on May 19, 2025, the Company and Mr. Teoh Paik Yau entered into a share exchange agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Teoh agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit HK at a consideration of $53.999 settled by the issuance and allotment of 539,999 Shares; and (ii) on May 19, 2025, Mr. Teoh Paik Loon, Mr. Teoh Paik Yau and the Company entered into a share sale agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Teoh Paik Loon and Mr. Teoh Paik Yau together agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit MY at a consideration of RM9,907,444 settled by issuance and allotment of 460,000 Shares.

The increase of revenues was primarily due to the demand for cloud infrastructure and cloud-native security tools among enterprises in Asia-Pacific, reflected in Customer acquisition and retention through long-term subscription agreements. Specifically, we attribute increase in revenue from 2023 to 2024 to the following reasons:

 

- Rendering of services: expansion of colocation services and cybersecurity subscriptions primarily due to increased sensitivity to cybersecurity risks and awareness of cyber threats, as businesses migrate more operations to cloud platforms and hence demand more cloud-native security tools.

 

- Sales of goods: increased volume and margin of hardware sales across regional markets.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $8,605,533, compared to $7,849,641 in year 2023.

Other Income and Expenses

 

Other income for 2024 was $123,785, a decrease of $48,514 or 28.2% compared to $172,299 in the prior year. The change was primarily due to lower interest income on deposits and reduced miscellaneous income. Additionally, the Group did not record any realized foreign exchange gains in 2024, compared to $66,483 in the prior year. These decreases were partly offset by an increase in incentives and rebates from purchases and suppliers, which rose from $57,225 in 2023 to $68,315 in 2024.

 

In 2024, the Group was awarded $41,248 under a matching grant from SME Corp Malaysia’s Business Accelerator Programme 3.0 (BAP 3.0), a government initiative that subsidizes up to 50% of eligible business development costs. The grant was awarded to the Group’s system automation project, and is part of a broader program that also supports initiatives in digital transformation, product certification, and ESG compliance.

When an issue arises, they can immediately engage the right engineer—someone with the authority and expertise to provide full resolution without unnecessary delay. This direct-to-expert support model shortens resolution time, reduces frustration, and reflects our core philosophy of prioritizing meaningful, results-driven customer service.

 

Another key strength is our fast and customer-friendly onboarding process, especially for core offerings such as CDN, WAF, anti-DDoS, and bare metal servers. Many service providers impose long, bureaucratic onboarding steps that frustrate both customers and sales teams. In contrast, Gigabit empowers its sales personnel with operational flexibility. Customers can directly message our sales team—even on weekends—to activate services immediately, with billing processed the following business day. This human-first approach combines operational agility with relationship building, allowing customers to receive support on the go while fostering long-term trust and satisfaction.

 

This approach also gives customers confidence in purchasing our services, knowing they will be guided by knowledgeable sales representatives throughout the entire onboarding journey—from the initial inquiry to full-service activation. Even after deployment, we continue to support our customers to ensure the services are fully optimized for their needs and aligned with their business goals. This end-to-end guidance reinforces customer satisfaction, builds credibility, and strengthens long-term engagement.

Accelerated Proof-of-Concept (PoC) and Access Without Upfront Investment

 

TheGigabit offers rapid proof-of-concept (POC) readiness for its core solutions. Customers can begin evaluating services like CDN, WAF, anti-DDoS, and bare metal within days—rather than waiting weeks—enabling faster decision-making and a clearer, hands-on understanding of the value we deliver. By maintaining ready stock for key infrastructure components, Gigabit also helps customers bypass the need for lengthy, high-budget procurement cycles. This allows them to experience the solution in real time without upfront capital investment, accelerating both adoption and results.

 

Together, these capabilities—full-stack infrastructure integration, scalable and high-capacity connectivity, intelligent routing control, and always-on support—demonstrate TheGigabit’s distinct position in the market and reinforce our readiness for regional and global growth.

SALES AND MARKETING

 

Sales Strategy

 

Customer-Oriented Value Creation That Drives Long-Term Client Retention

 

TheGigabit employs a value-added and customizable solutions approach designed to deepen customer reliance on our infrastructure and managed services. We use proven technologies designed to solve specific client issues. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we carefully analyze, research, and develop the best technological fit. While some vendors push expensive, feature-heavy products, we focus on providing streamlined, cost-effective solutions tailored to real-world use cases. By tailoring our offerings to meet specific business and technical requirements, we create strong integration between our services and clients’ operations —significantly increasing switching costs and making our solutions difficult to replace. This high degree of vendor lock-in not only strengthens customer retention but also supports long-term recurring revenue.

 

Our reputation as problem-solvers is one of our strongest lead-generation channels. When clients encounter challenges with their existing vendors, they turn to us for expert insights and solutions. Our commitment to excellence ensures that no infrastructure, coding, or security issue goes unresolved. Unlike others who charge for consultations, we believe that every client is a partner and a friend. We offer our expertise freely, not just to solve immediate issues, but because we genuinely want them to succeed. Even if there isn’t an opportunity today, we trust that by building strong relationships, our support will lead to future collaborations.

 

Our consultative, challenge-solving mindset fosters long-term trust, often leading clients to refer new business and expand engagement across additional projects. In some cases, customers and vendors have evolved into strategic partners, collaborating with us on broader initiatives. This depth of relationship is reinforced by our operational agility: we respond to support requests within five minutes, provision bare-metal servers in under 30 minutes, and resolve hardware uptime issues within 10 to 30 minutes—demonstrating a consistently customer-focused, execution-driven service model.

 

All in all, our ability to combine technical excellence with authentic customer care has made TheGigabit more than just a service provider—we become a trusted extension of our clients’ operations. This high-touch, solution-driven approach is the foundation of our long-term client retention and the reason why over 1,500 global customers continue to choose and grow with us. 

 

Human-Centric Approach

 

We recognize that technology can be complex. Instead of expecting clients to have deep technical knowledge, we simplify solutions and communicate the issues and solutions in a way they understand. More than just providing guidance, we believe in knowledge sharing and learning from each other. We don’t just talk business—we build real connections, speaking to our clients as friends rather than just customers. This approach has fostered strong relationships, where even our partners reach out to us for advice and insights, regardless of whether it directly relates to our services.

 

Short Sales Cycle and Seamless Client Onboarding

 

One core element of our sales strategies is maintaining short sales cycles, and a hassle-free and flexible onboarding process. Customers can engage with TheGigabit and begin using our services within a matter of hours—not days or weeks. Our sales team is empowered to assist directly, including during weekends, ensuring that services can be activated immediately, with billing deferred to the next business day. This operational flexibility reduces friction in the customer journey and accelerates service adoption, helping businesses get up and running quickly.

 

To further encourage customer onboarding and de-risk decision-making, TheGigabit offers proof-of-concept (POC) deployment for key services such as CDN, WAF, anti-DDoS, and bare metal infrastructure. Customers can evaluate our offerings within days, at no initial cost or commitment. This approach allows them to experience the service quality, performance, and responsiveness of our support firsthand—leading to more informed, confident purchasing decisions.

 

Our billing model emphasizes transparency and predictability. Customers know exactly what they are paying for, with no hidden charges or unexpected cost fluctuations. This clarity reinforces trust, simplifies procurement approvals, and strengthens long-term relationships.

 

Strategic Partnerships & Referrals

 

We also maintain strong strategic partnerships with local and regional players. TheGigabit actively engages in co-branded initiatives and collaborative offerings with technology partners, bundling our infrastructure with complementary solutions. These joint go-to-market campaigns have led to successful project implementations and broadened our reach into new sectors. We aim to continue expanding this partner network to unlock additional growth avenues. 

 

Additionally, we collaborate with companies requiring large-scale deployments but lacking local capacity in Malaysia. As a trusted regional partner, we are often referred to support their deployment schedules, fostering mutually beneficial relationships with industry leaders who lack a local presence. Moreover, TheGigabit’s one-stop, end-to-end deployment model creates a highly “sticky” client relationship by delivering integrated infrastructure, cloud, and managed services across multiple geographies under a single operational framework. Clients benefit from a seamless and reliable service experience that is difficult to replicate without significant reconfiguration or risk.

 

Internal Business Synergies Enable Strategic Cross-selling Opportunities

 

Another strategic element of our sales strategy lies in our ability to create cross-selling opportunities between our various business divisions. For example, customers who begin with on-premises hardware frequently expand into our hosting and managed services ecosystem due to the seamless integration and operational convenience we offer. This single-vendor model reduces vendor complexity, enables unified support, and drives customer stickiness across our solution stack. 

 

Streamlined Client Engagement

 

By assigning dedicated account managers, we eliminate the hassle of clients navigating multiple departments. This direct communication streamlines processes, reduces complexity, and enhances efficiency, minimizing stress for our customers.

 

Internally, we invest in robust sales enablement and talent development initiatives. New sales personnel are onboarded through structured training programs that equip them with comprehensive product knowledge, market insights, and sales kits. This ensures consistency in messaging, confidence in client-facing interactions, and strong alignment between technical capabilities and customer needs.

 

Active Industry Exposure Enhances TheGigabit Brand Image

 

Participation in roadshows, conferences, and industry networking events forms a key part of our market expansion strategy. These platforms help us showcase our capabilities, build valuable business relationships, and stay visible within the competitive landscape. They also offer opportunities to engage potential clients and partners, accelerating sales and partnership pipelines.

Global Reach: We operate data centers in multiple strategic locations globally to serve a diverse customer base and ensure low latency.

 

Local Partnerships: We collaborate with local data center and upstream providers to increase reach within specific regions.

 

Our go-to-market strategy leverages both global infrastructure and localized access to ensure service availability across multiple customer touchpoints. We maintain a strong online presence through a website that allows customers to explore offerings, receive instant quotations, and initiate purchases to streamline the sales funnel and increase conversion rates. Strategically positioned data centers across key global regions ensure high performance and low latency for diverse client segments. In addition, our partnerships with local data center operators and upstream providers enable us to expand our reach in specific markets, accelerating deployment speed, improving service reliability, and supporting compliance with regional requirements. This multi-channel distribution strategy enhances market responsiveness and supports scalable expansion across both mature and emerging markets.

 

Promotion

 

Omnichannel Marketing: We opt for a balanced marketing strategy that involves both offline and online channels. Offline initiatives include participating in industry and events for us to have direct engagement with potential customers and collaborators. While online strategies including SEO optimization, paid advertisements, social media marketing and email campaigns enhance our digital presence and brand awareness.

 

Customer Journey: We analyze the customer journey to determine how our audience interacts with our promotional materials. This helps inform, guide and empower leads to have a comprehensive understanding of our products and services. We develop multiple touch points to give our customers more opportunities to engage with our brand.

 

Sales & Marketing Alignment: We emphasize inter-department synergies between and among our sales and marketing teams to maximize campaign effectiveness. We work closely with the sales team to capture and nurture leads generated through our omni-channel approach for effective conversions.

 

Our promotional strategy is built to generate high quality leads and accelerate pipeline velocity. Online channels such as SEO, paid ads, and email nurture campaigns drive consistent inbound demand, while offline activations such as roadshows, industry expos, and strategic partnerships to strengthen brand visibility and capture demand at multiple funnel stages. A key go-to-market tactic is offering free trials and promotional credits to new customers, enabling them to evaluate our infrastructure risk-free and increasing trial to conversion rates. Furthermore, our promotional offers are customizable based on business needs, ensuring alignment with each client’s scale, technical complexity, and growth stage. By tailoring incentives to market demand and buyer intent, we improve campaign efficiency and support sales team objectives.

Process

 

Our marketing processes are structured to support scalable, data-driven engagement throughout the customer journey. At the core of this strategy is our CRM platform, enhanced by AI-driven capabilities that enable intelligent audience segmentation, and behavior-based content personalization. These tools allow us to automate lead nurturing with greater precision, tailoring communications to industry interests, engagement signals, and buying intent. From initial awareness through post-sale education, we maintain a consistent cadence of touchpoints, such as industry update newsletters, solution recommendations, and exclusive offers that enhance customer experience and deepen engagement. These structured marketing workflows ensure that leads are consistently warmed before handoff to the sales team, improving conversion rates and shortening the sales cycle. By embedding marketing automation into our go-to-market processes, we are able to operate with greater agility and maintain meaningful relationships at scale.

 

Physical Evidence

 

To reinforce our go-to-market strategy and build buyer confidence, we provide transparent and verifiable proof points that reduce pre-purchase hesitation and support decision-making. These include ISO certifications, real-time uptime dashboards, and publicly accessible case studies. These assets play a critical role in bottom of funnel activities such as technical evaluations and RFP (Request for Proposal) submissions.

 

Performance

 

Our marketing and customer acquisition approach is designed to help us grow into new regions and serve different types of industries.

With a flexible setup, we can adjust our strategies quickly to fit different markets. Our CRM system and internal processes help us manage leads efficiently and ensure we can scale our operations smoothly as demand grows. This readiness positions us well for long-term growth and effective use of future capital.

 

Sales and Marketing Team

 

The key personnel of our Sales and Marketing Team are Ms. Lim Shpn Hun, EVP of Hardware Business Development, and Mr. Au Yong Tuck Yew, EVP of Internet Hosting Business Development. The Internet Hosting Business Development Department oversees the Business Development Division, Marketing Division and Sales Administration Division. Each division includes executive staff in their respective expertise with up to one manager of the division.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Research and Development (R&D) team at the Company operates with a clear philosophy: to simplify complex customer challenges and develop cost-effective, practical solutions tailored to specific operational needs. The team focuses on improving service reliability, reducing deployment time, and lowering infrastructure costs through targeted software development, system integration, and automation initiatives.

 

Current Team Composition

 

Our R&D team is led by Lai Chen Haw, our Solution Architect / Infrastructure, and by Glendon Yeo Wee Hock, our Software Development Manager. The group is organized into a Frontend Team, that is responsible for developing the frontend for the Unified Portal, and a Backend Development Team, that is focused on API development and automation.

 

The team currently is focused on several transformative initiatives to meet evolving customer needs:

 

As part of our ongoing commitment to service excellence and operational efficiency, we are developing a Unified Service Management Portal that will serve as a comprehensive self-service platform for our customers. This portal will consolidate all our services—including bare metal servers, colocation, security features, and support—into a single, integrated interface. In addition, we are embedding predictive analytics capabilities into the platform to help optimize service performance and anticipate resource demands, improving the overall customer experience and operational planning.

 

In parallel, we are enhancing our Anti-DDoS and Web Application Firewall (WAF) systems. These improvements include the use of adaptive threat detection models that learn from incoming traffic patterns to dynamically identify and respond to evolving attack vectors. To further strengthen our defense capabilities, we are integrating AI-driven analytics that can detect and counter AI-powered attack techniques—ensuring our platform evolves alongside the threat landscape. This layered approach enables our infrastructure to remains resilient against high-volume and application-layer attacks.

 

87
 

 

Our System Automation initiatives are also progressing steadily. We are implementing real-time monitoring tools that proactively detect system anomalies and potential threats. These tools are supported by automated defensive mechanisms designed to respond instantly to incidents—minimizing downtime, preserving customer data, and reducing the need for manual intervention. We are also exploring GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and large language model (LLM) modeling, with a focus on integrating these capabilities into automation frameworks and enabling clients to leverage AI to enhance their own business operations.

 

COMPETITION

 

The markets of internet hosting and cloud services in which we compete are highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and fragmented, with both local and global players vying for market share. Our primary competitors are global players with an established presence across multiple regions. Examples include Linode (a subsidiary of Akamai Technologies), DataPacket, OVHcloud.

 

In addition to global cloud and infrastructure giants, we also face competition from local hosting providers in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan; and from emerging niche providers specializing in low-cost, high-performance, or compliance-specific hosting solutions. While we are a fast-growing company, we have yet to achieve a footprint in every region worldwide. This limits our competitive reach in certain markets.

 

One key reason for our deliberate expansion pace is our commitment to localized support. Unlike many providers that offer limited or offshore support, we prioritize having local staff on the ground to ensure high-quality customer service. This customer-centric approach enhances satisfaction and trust, but it also requires extensive planning and resources for each expansion. In contrast, many competitors expand rapidly by relying on centralized or minimal support structures, often at the cost of service quality.

 

Our differentiation lies in strong localized support and solutions tailored to regional business needs, ensuring that clients receive not just infrastructure, but also reliable, expert assistance whenever needed.

 

The massive popularity of, and low barriers to entry in, the internet hosting and related services market have created fierce competitive dynamics. Success in this crowded landscape requires flawless execution across retention, monetization, and standing out through innovation or marketing. The intensity of competition strains the viability of smaller firms and elevates the risk of new product launches.

 

To remain competitive, we must:

 

  Invest in new technology and infrastructure which are suitable to our business operations and processes (e.g., fully automated process, pre-alert monitoring tools, AI technology, new high tier density data centers).
  Maintain a highly reliable core infrastructure, with a focus on delivering 100% network uptime to support mission-critical client operations.
  Continuously invest in resilient network architecture, ensuring fault tolerance, redundancy, and seamless service continuity across all deployments.
  Leverage technology certificates and compliance (e.g., SOC Type-II, Nvidia Certificate, Cybersecurity Certificates)
  Develop strategic partnerships with SaaS providers, cybersecurity firms, and telecom operators.
  Stay ahead of industry trends and market shifts by actively monitoring evolving customer demands and strategically targeting high-potential markets at the right time.
  Continuously evolve our cybersecurity services to proactively address the shifting threat landscape and emerging attack vectors.

 

While competition will intensify, we aim to differentiate Gigabit through superior uptime, security, and tailored solutions—ensuring sustainable growth despite market pressures.

 

SEASONALITY

 

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations.

INSURANCE

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we maintain medical and work injury compensation insurance for our employees in all our operating locations.

REGULATIONS

 

This section sets forth a summary of the most significant rules and regulations that affect our business in Malaysia and Hong Kong.

 

Regulations Related to our Business Operation in Malaysia

 

Regulations related to conducting business

 

Local Government Act 1976

 

The Local Government Act 1976 provides a local authority with the power to grant a license or permit for any trade, occupation or premises. Such license may be subject to such conditions and restrictions as the local authority may think fit. This license is generally required if a business occupies an office for business use or erects a signboard. Every person to whom a license has been granted shall exhibit the license at all times in some prominent place on the licensed premises and shall produce such license if required to do so by any officer of the local authority authorized to demand the same. Any person found guilty of an offence shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding RM2,000 (approximately $448) and/or to imprisonment for a term up to 1 year, and in the case of a continuing offence, to a fine not exceeding RM200 (approximately $45) for each day during which the offence is continued after conviction.

 

Communications and Multimedia Act 1988(“CMA”)

 

The CMA provides for and regulates the converging communications and multimedia industries. Pursuant to Section 126 of the CMA, no person shall own or provide any network facilities, provide any network services or provide any applications services without a valid individual license or a class license granted under the CMA which expressly authorizes the ownership or provision of such facilities or services. A person who contravenes this commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding RM1,000,000 (approximately $223,814) and/or to imprisonment for up to 10 years and shall also be liable to a further fine of RM100,000 (approximately $22,381) for every day or part of a day during which the offence is continued after conviction.

The EA is the principal law that governs and regulates all labor relations including contracts of service, payment of wages, employment of women, maternity protection, hours of work, holidays, leave policy, termination, layoff, retirement benefits, and employment of foreign employees. When the Employment (Amendment) Act 2022 and the Employment (Amendment of First Schedule) Order 2022 came into force on January 1, 2023, the scope of application of the EA has been expanded from the previous limited category of employees receiving monthly wages of RM2,000 (approximately $448) and below, to a broader category of protecting any person who has entered into a contract of service irrespective of their monthly wages under the current EA. Any person who commits any offence under, or contravenes any provision of the EA, or any regulations, order, or other subsidiary legislation whatsoever made thereunder, in respect of which no penalty is provided, shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding RM50,000 (approximately $11,191).

 

94
 

 

Employees Provident Fund Act 1991(“EPF Act”)

 

The EPF Act provides for the law relating to a scheme of savings for employees’ retirement and the management of the savings for retirement purposes. Under the EPF Act, all employers and employees shall be liable to pay monthly contributions based on the amount of wages received by the employee at the rate set out in the Third Schedule of the EPF Act. Any person being an employer who fails to pay any contributions which he is liable under the EPF Act to pay in respect of or on behalf of any employee shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine of up to RM10,000 (approximately $2,238) and/or to imprisonment for a term of up to 3 years. Where any contributions remain unpaid by a company, the directors of such company (including any persons who were the directors of such company during the period in which the contributions were liable to be paid), shall together with the company be jointly and severally liable for payment of the contributions.

 

Employees’ Social Security Act 1969 (“SOCSO Act”)

 

The SOCSO Act, deals with the provision of social security in certain contingencies. The Social Security Organization, or the SOCSO, was established under the SOCSO Act to administer the social security schemes in Malaysia. The SOCSO Act applies to all industries but does not apply to persons described in the First Schedule of the SOCSO Act. All employees irrespective of the amount of wages are required to be insured in the manner as provided in the SOCSO Act. It is the obligation of the principal employer to pay the contribution (both the employer’s contribution and the employee’s contribution) to SOCSO at the rates according to the Third Schedule of the SOCSO Act. In the event of invalidity, disablement or employment injury, the insured person and their dependents are entitled to benefits stipulated under the SOCSO Act. Any person being an employer who fails to pay any contributions which he is liable under the SOCSO Act to pay in respect of or on behalf of any employee shall be punishable with a fine of up to RM10,000 (approximately $2,238) and/or to imprisonment for a term of up to 2 years.

 

Employment Insurance System Act 2017 (“EIS Act”)

 

The EIS Act provides for the establishment of an employment insurance system administered by SOCSO to provide certain benefits and a re-employment placement program for insured persons in the event of loss of employment which will promote active labor market policies. The EIS Act applies to all industries but does not apply to persons described in the First Schedule of the EIS Act. All employees in the industries to which the EIS Act applies are deemed to have been registered under the EIS Act on the date the EIS Act comes into operation. Employers shall pay the contribution (both the employer’s contribution and the employee’s contribution) to SOCSO at the rates as specified in the Second Schedule to the Act not later than the 15th day of the month immediately following the month in respect of which such contribution becomes due, failing which such employer commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding RM10,000 (approximately $2,238) and/or to imprisonment for a term up to 2 years. An insured person who considers that he has lost his employment shall submit an application for claim for benefits to SOCSO within sixty days from the date he considers that he has lost his employment. After considering if the contributions qualifying conditions are fulfilled (the fulfilment of which depends on the number of past claims and contributions made preceding to the loss of employment) in respect of a claim for benefits by an insured person, SOCSO may approve or reject the claim for benefits.

 

Income Tax (Deduction From Remuneration) Rules 1994 (“ITR”)

 

The ITR provides that every employer shall deduct in each month or the relevant month the monthly deduction in accordance with the schedule of the ITR in respect of income on account of tax from the remuneration of each of his employees. Every employer shall pay to the Director General of Inland Revenue Malaysia, not later than the 15th day of every calendar month, the total amount of tax deducted or that should have been deducted from the remuneration of employees during the preceding calendar month, and shall render to the Director General of Inland Revenue Malaysia a return setting out the details of those employees from whose remuneration have made or should have made deductions. Any person, who without reasonable excuse, fails to comply such rules shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction, be liable to a fine not less than RM200 (approximately $45) and not more than RM20,000 (approximately $4,476) or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.

Pursuant to the Minimum Wages Order 2024, commencing from February 1, 2025, the minimum wage for employees employed by an employer who employs 5 or more employees or employed by an employer who carries out such prescribed professional activity classified under the Malaysia Standard Classification of Occupations (regardless of the number of employees employed) as published officially by the Ministry of Human Resources, shall be RM1,700 (approximately $380) a month. For employee who is employed by an employer which does not fall under the above categories, their minimum monthly wage shall remain at RM1,500 (approximately $336) until July 31, 2025. Thereafter, with effect from August 1, 2025, the minimum monthly wage shall increase to RM1,700 (approximately $380) to align with the minimum wage for employees being employed in Malaysia. An employer who fails to pay the basic wages as specified in the Minimum Wages Order 2024 to his employees commit an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine of not more than RM10,000 (approximately $2,238) for each employee. The Malaysian court may also order the employer to pay each employee the difference between statutory minimum wages and the employee’s basic wages paid by the employer to the employee, including outstanding differences.

 

Industrial Relations Act 1967 (“IRA”)

 

The IRA seeks to promote and maintain industrial harmony and provides for the regulation of the relations between employers and workmen and their trade unions and the prevention and settlement of any differences or disputes arising from their relationship and generally to deal with trade disputes. Matters relating to trade disputes, including constructive dismissal and retrenchment, may be referred by the Minister of Human Resources to the Industrial Court. Under the IRA, an employer may not terminate the employment of an employee without just cause and excuse, regardless of the express provisions in the terms of employment. In the event that a workman considers that he has been dismissed without just cause or excuse by his employer with notice, the workmen may file a representation at any time during the period of such notice but not later than 60 days from the date of dismissal.

 

Regulations related to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing

 

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 (“MACC”)

 

The MACC’s principal objects are to promote the integrity and accountability of public and private sector administration by constituting an independent and accountable anti-corruption body and to educate public authorities, public officials and members of the public about corruption and its detrimental effects on public and private sector administration and on the community. Pursuant to Section 17A of the MACC, a commercial organization commits an offence if a person associated with the commercial organization corruptly gives, agrees to give, promises or offers to any person any gratification whether for the benefit of that person or another person with intent to obtain or retain business for the commercial organization, or to obtain or retain an advantage in the conduct of business for the commercial organization. A person is associated with a commercial organization if he is a director, partner or an employee of the commercial organization or he is a person who performs services for or on behalf of the commercial organization.

 

Any commercial organization who commits an offence under this section shall on conviction be liable to a fine of not less than 10 times the sum or value of the gratification which is the subject matter of the offence, where such gratification is capable of being valued or is of pecuniary nature, or RM1,000,000 (approximately $223,814), whichever is the higher, and/or to imprisonment for up to 20 years. If a commercial organization is charged for such offence, it is a defense for the commercial organization to prove that the commercial organization had in place adequate procedures to prevent persons associated with the commercial organization from undertaking such conduct.

 

Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (“AMLATA”)

 

The AMLATA provides for the offence of money laundering, the measures to be taken for the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing offences and to provide for the forfeiture of property involved in or derived from money laundering and terrorism financing offences, as well as terrorist property, proceeds of an unlawful activity and instrumentalities of an offence, and for matters incidental thereto. Any person who engages in transactions involving, or who acquires, possesses, transfers, disguises, uses, or moves into or out of Malaysia the proceeds of unlawful activity or instrumentalities of an offence, or who conceals or obstructs the determination of their true origin, ownership, or nature, commits an offence under the AMLATA. Upon conviction, the offender is liable to imprisonment for up to 15 years and a fine of at least 5 times the value of the illegal proceeds or RM5,000,000 (approximately $1,119,069), whichever is higher.

 

96
 

 

Regulations related to personal data

 

Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (“PDPA”) and Personal Data Protection Regulations 2013

 

The PDPA deals with the laws and regulations regarding data privacy and the protection of data. The PDPA requires generally that an individual must consent to the processing and disclosure of his or her personal data unless otherwise stated in the provisions of the PDPA. The term “processing” is widely defined to include collecting, recording, holding, or storing personal data or carrying out any operation or set of operations on personal data, including:

 

(a) the organization, adaptation or alteration of personal data;
   
(b) the retrieval, consultation or utilization of personal data;
   
(c) the disclosure of personal data by transmission, transfer, dissemination or otherwise making available; or
   
(d) the alignment, combination, correction, erasure, or destruction of personal data.

 

A data controller is a person who either alone or jointly or in common with other persons processes any personal data or has control over or authorizes the processing of any personal data, but does not include a data processor. The Personal Data Protection Regulations 2013 provides that consent shall be obtained by a data controller in relation to the processing of personal data in any form that can be recorded and maintained properly by the data controller. Any data controller who contravenes such regulation commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding RM250,000 (approximately $55,953) and/or imprisonment for up to 2 years.

 

Data controllers are required to provide written notice of the personal data being processed, and such notice shall include, among others, a description of the personal data being processed, the purpose for which the personal data is being processed, the source of the personal data, the class of persons to whom the personal data will be disclosed to, whether it is obligatory or voluntary for the individual to supply the personal data, the individual’s rights to request access and request correction of the personal data, as well as choices and means available to the individual to limit the processing of the personal data. The notice must be provided in both English and the national language of Bahasa Malaysia.

 

Regulations related to intellectual property

 

Trademarks Act 2019

 

Registration of a trademark under the Trademarks Act 2019 grants the registered proprietor the exclusive right to use the trademark or to authorize other persons to use the trademark in relation to the goods or services for which the trademark is registered. The registered proprietor also has the right to obtain relief for infringement of his trademark. A person infringes a registered trademark if he uses a sign which is identical with the trademark in relation to goods or services which are identical with those for which it is registered, in the course of trade, without the consent of the registered proprietor. A certificate of registration provides prima facie evidence of ownership of the trademark.

 

Regulations related to dividends

 

Companies Act 2016 (“CA”)

 

The principal legislation governing the distribution of dividends of a Malaysian company is the CA. Under the CA, a Malaysian company may only make a distribution to the shareholders out of profits of the company available if the company is solvent. The company, every officer and any other person or individual who contravene this provision commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to a fine not exceeding RM3,000,000 (approximately $671,441) or to both.

 

97
 

 

Financial Services Act 2013 (“FSA”) and Foreign Exchange Policy Notices (“FEP Notices”) by Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”)

 

The FSA provides for the regulation and supervision of financial institutions, payment systems and other relevant entities and the oversight of the money market and foreign exchange market to promote financial stability and for related, consequential or incidental matters. In exercise of the powers conferred by the FSA, BNM issued the FEP Notices which sets out, among others, approvals of BNM for transactions which otherwise are prohibited under the FSA as well as requirements, restrictions and conditions of the approvals.

 

According to Notice 4 of the FEP Notices issued by BNM, a non-resident is allowed to repatriate from Malaysia, funds including any income earned or proceeds from divestment of RM asset, provided that the repatriation is made in foreign currency and the conversion of RM into foreign currency is undertaken in accordance with Part B of Notice 1 of the FEP Notices. Any person who fails to comply with any direction of the BNM commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years or to a fine not exceeding RM50,000,000 or to both.

 

Regulations Related to our Business Operation in Hong Kong

 

Regulations related to conducting business

 

Business registration requirement

 

The Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong) requires every person carrying on any business to make an application to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue in the prescribed manner for the registration of that business. The Commissioner of Inland Revenue must register each business for which a business registration application is made and as soon as practicable after the prescribed business registration fee and levy are paid and issue a business registration certificate or branch registration certificate for the relevant business or the relevant branch, as the case may be.

 

Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“CO”)

 

The CO governs the incorporation, operation, and regulation of companies in Hong Kong. It sets out the legal framework for the registration of companies, the responsibilities and duties of directors, and the rights of shareholders. Under CO, a company must comply with statutory requirements for maintaining proper records, filing returns, and adhering to corporate governance principles to ensure transparency and accountability. CO also requires companies to operate in compliance with general principles that safeguard their financial and operational integrity. Section 465 of the CO provides that directors must act in the best interests of the company and fulfill their fiduciary duties by exercising their powers for proper purposes. Financial transactions, such as loans or advances, must not contravene the capital maintenance rules, which are designed to prevent unauthorized reductions in share capital and ensure the company’s financial stability. Furthermore, companies must remain solvent after any transaction to avoid legal or financial consequences, as directors may face personal liability if the company’s ability to meet its obligations is compromised.

 

Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“TDO”)

 

The TDO prohibits false trade description, false, misleading or incomplete information, false statements, etc., in respect of goods offered in the course of trade, we are required to comply with the relevant provisions under the TDO. Section 2 of the TDO provides that “trade description” in relation to goods means an indication, direct or indirect, and by whatever means given, of certain matters (including among other things, quantity, price etc.), with respect to any goods or parts of the goods; and in relation to services means an indication, direct or indirect, and by whatever means given, of certain matters (including among other things, nature, scope, quantity, after-sale service assistance, price etc.). Section 7 of the TDO provides that no person shall in the course of trade or business apply a false trade description to any goods or sell or offer for sale any goods with false trade descriptions applied thereto.

 

Sale of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“SOGO”)

 

As we sell computer hardware, we are required to comply with the relevant provisions under the SOGO. The SOGO provides that where a seller sells goods in the course of a business, there is an implied condition that (a) where the goods are purchased by description, the goods must correspond with the description; (b) the goods supplied are of merchantable quality; and (c) the goods must be fit for the purpose for which they are purchased. Otherwise, a buyer has the right to reject defective goods unless he or she has a reasonable opportunity to examine the goods.

The SOSO which aims to consolidate and amend the law with respect to the terms to be implied in contracts for the supply of services (including a contract for the supply of a service whether or not goods are also transferred or to be transferred, or bailed or to be bailed by way of hire under the contract) provides that (a) where the supplier is acting in the course of a business, there is an implied term that the supplier will carry out the service with reasonable care and skill; and (b) where the supplier is acting in the course of a business, the time for service to be carried out is not fixed by the contract, is not left to be fixed in a manner agreed by the contract or is not determined by the course of dealing between the parties, there is an implied term that the supplier will carry out the service within a reasonable time. Where a supplier is dealing with a party to a contract for supply of service who deals as a consumer, the supplier cannot, by reference to any contract term, exclude or restrict any liability of his arising under the contract by virtue of the SOSO. Otherwise, where any right, duty or liability would arise under a contract for the supply of a service by virtue of the SOSO, it may be negatived or varied by express agreement, or by the course of dealing between the parties, or by such usage as binds both parties to the contract.

Where an employer ceases or is about to cease to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable to tax, or any married person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue not later than one month before such individual ceases to be employed in Hong Kong.

Tax on dividends

 

Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by the Company.

 

Capital gains and profit tax

 

No tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of shares. However, trading gains from the sale of shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong, where such gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong, will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax which is imposed at the rates of 8.25% on assessable profits up to HKD2,000,000 and 16.5% on any part of assessable profits over HKD2,000,000 on corporations from the year of assessment commencing on or after April 1, 2018. Certain categories of taxpayers (for example, financial institutions, insurance companies and securities dealers) are likely to be regarded as deriving trading gains rather than capital gains unless these taxpayers can prove that the investment securities are held for long-term investment purposes.

 

Stamp Duty

 

Under the Stamp Duty Ordinance, the Hong Kong stamp duty, currently charged at the ad valorem rate of 0.1% on the higher of the consideration for or the market value of the shares, will be payable by the purchaser on every purchase and by the seller on every sale of Hong Kong shares (in other words, a total of 0.2% is currently payable on a typical sale and purchase transaction of Hong Kong shares). In addition, a fixed duty of HK$5 is currently payable on any instrument of transfer of Hong Kong shares. Where one of the parties is a resident outside Hong Kong and does not pay the ad valorem duty due by it, the duty not paid will be assessed on the instrument of transfer (if any) and will be payable by the transferee. If no stamp duty is paid on or before the due date, a penalty of up to ten times the duty payable may be imposed.

 

Estate duty

 

Hong Kong estate duty was abolished effective from February 11, 2006. No Hong Kong estate duty is payable by shareholders in relation to the shares owned by them upon death.

 

Withholding Tax

 

Any payments by a Hong Kong company for the use, or the right to the use, in Hong Kong of any patent, design, trademark, copyright material owned by non-resident owners are subject to payment of Hong Kong tax. The assessable profits are taken to be 30% of the royalty payments to the non-resident owners. The tax payable is then computed by applying the appropriate tax rate to the assessable profits so arrived at. Furthermore, the non-resident company is chargeable in the Hong Kong company’s name who is required under the Inland Revenue Ordinance to withhold from the payments made to the non-resident company sufficient money for the payment of the tax.

An individual who suffers damage, including injured feelings, by reason of a contravention of the PDPO in relation to his or her personal data may seek compensation from the data user concerned. The Company has confirmed that it is in compliance with the PDPO as of the date of this prospectus.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, we paid an aggregate compensation of RM470,592.30 (approximately $105,325), to our executive officers and directors.

Corporate Governance Practices

 

Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors will consist of five directors upon the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. A director who is, directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with our Company shall declare the nature of his or her interest at a meeting of our directors. A director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he or she may be interested therein and if he or she does so his or her vote shall be counted and he or she may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of our directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction is considered. Our directors may exercise all the powers of our Company to issue debentures, debenture stock, bonds, and other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of our company or of any third party. None of our non-executive directors have a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of service.

 

We recognize the importance and benefit of having a board of directors composed of highly talented and experienced individuals having regard to the need to foster and promote diversity among board members with respect to attributes such as gender, ethnicity and other factors. In support of this goal, we will consider criteria that promote diversity, including with regard to gender, ethnicity, and other dimensions; and consider the level of representation of women on our board of directors along with other markers of diversity.

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

A company of which more than 50% of the voting power held by a single entity is considered a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules. A controlled company is not required to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance rules requiring a board of directors to have a majority of independent directors to have independent audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees. Following the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq rules.

 

We will establish three committees under the board of directors immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. We expect to adopt a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.

 

Audit Committee.

 

Our audit committee will consist of our three independent Directors, and will be chaired by Mr. Choo Seng Choon. We have determined that each of our audit committee members satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq rules and meets the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We have determined that Mr. Choo Seng Choon qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the SEC rules and possesses financial sophistication within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules. The audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

 

  appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;
     
  reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;
     
  discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors;
     
  reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures;
     
  reviewing and approving all proposed related-party transactions;
     
  meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and
     
  monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.

 

Compensation Committee. 

 

Our compensation committee will consist of our three independent Directors, and will be chaired by [*]. We have determined that each of our compensation committee members satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq rules. The compensation committee will assist the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated. The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

 

  reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;
     
  reviewing and recommending to the board for determination with respect to the compensation of our non-employee directors;
     
  reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs, or similar arrangements; and
     
  selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management.

 

104
 

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

 

Our nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of our three independent Directors, and will be chaired by [*]. We have determined that each of our nominating and corporate governance committee members satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq rules. The nominating and corporate governance committee will assist the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:

 

  selecting and recommending to the board nominees for election by the shareholders or appointment by the board;
     
  reviewing annually with the board the current composition of the board in regard to characteristics such as independence, knowledge, skills, experience, and diversity;
     
  making recommendations on the frequency and structure of board meetings and monitoring the functioning of the committees of the board; and
     
  advising the board periodically in regard to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance, as well as our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and making recommendations to the board on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial action to be taken.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Insider Trading Policy and Executive Compensation Recovery Policy

 

Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we intend to adopt (i) a code of business conduct and ethics; (ii) an insider trading policy that applies to our Directors, officers, and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions; and (iii) an executive compensation recovery policy that applies to our officers, and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, (collectively the “Policies”). We intend to disclose any amendments to the Policies, and any waivers of the Policies for our Directors, executive officers and senior finance executives, on our website to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq.

Terms of Directors and Officers

 

Our directors may be elected by a resolution of our board of directors or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they are removed from office by ordinary resolution of our shareholders, unless the director is appointed on such express terms that he or she shall automatically retire from office (unless he has sooner vacated office) at the next or a subsequent annual general meeting or upon any specified event or after any specified period). A director will cease to be a director automatically if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally, (ii) dies or is found by our company to be or becomes of unsound mind, (iii) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to our company, or (iv)is removed from office pursuant to our articles of association.

 

Our officers are selected by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors.

 

Employment Agreements with Executive Officers

 

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers. Under these agreements, each of our executive officers is employed for a specified time period. We may terminate, at any time, without advance notice or remuneration, for certain acts of the executive officer, such as conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, negligent or dishonest acts to our detriment, or misconduct or a failure to perform agreed duties. An executive officer may terminate his or her employment at any time with a one-month prior written notice.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past 10 years, been involved in any legal proceedings described in subparagraph (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K.

 

Board diversity

 

We seek to achieve board diversity through the consideration of a number of factors when selecting the candidates to our Board, including but not limited to gender, skills, age, professional experience, knowledge, cultural, education background, ethnicity and length of service. The ultimate decision of the appointment will be based on merit and the contribution which the selected candidates will bring to our board.

 

Our directors have a balanced mix of knowledge and skills. We have three independent directors with different industry backgrounds, representing a majority of the members of our board. We also achieved gender diversity by having two female directors out of the total of five directors (including independent directors). Our board is well balanced and diversified in alignment with the business development and strategy of the Company.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Shares as of October 23, 2025 by:

 

  each person or entity known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding Shares;
     
  each of our directors, executive officers, and director nominees; and
     
  all of our executive officers, directors, and director nominees as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership of our Shares is determined in accordance with the SEC rules. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. The percentage of Shares beneficially owned prior to the offering is based on 18,750,000 Shares outstanding as described in “The Offering” section. We do not have any options or warrants that are outstanding. The percentage of Shares beneficially owned after the offering is based on the number of Shares outstanding prior to the offering plus the Shares that we are selling in this offering.

 

The percentages of Shares beneficially owned after the offering assume that the underwriters will not exercise their option to purchase additional Shares in the offering. Except where otherwise indicated, we believe, based on information furnished to us by such owners, that the beneficial owners of the Shares listed below have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares.

 

Upon the closing of this offering, none of our shareholders will have different voting rights from other shareholders. To the best of our knowledge, we are not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any another corporation or by any foreign government. We are not aware of any arrangement that may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of our company.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, the Companies Act (Cayman) and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

 

The share capital of the Company consists of Ordinary Shares. Our authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 each. As of the date of this prospectus, 18,750,000 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding. We will issue 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares in this offering (before giving effect to any over-allotment share exercise by the Underwriters). The following are summaries of material provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Act (Cayman) insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association

 

Objects of our Company. Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the objects of our Company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

Ordinary Shares. Upon completion of this offering, our authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 each. All of our outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form.

 

Dividends. The holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. In addition, our Shareholders may declare dividends by ordinary resolution, but such dividends shall not exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our board of directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the directors, be applicable for meeting contingencies, or for equalizing dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied and pending such application may in the absolute discretion of the directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than Shares of the Company) as the directors may from time to time think fit. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our Company may pay a dividend out of either profit or the credit standing in our Company’s share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business immediately following the date on which the distribution or dividend is paid.

 

Voting Rights. Subject to any rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any shares, on a show of hands every shareholder of the Company present in person and every person representing a shareholder of the Company by proxy shall, at a general meeting of the Company, each have one vote and on a poll, every shareholder of the Company and every person representing a shareholder of the Company by proxy shall have one vote for each Ordinary Share of which he or the person represented by proxy is the holder. Holders of our Ordinary Shares may vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders, except as may otherwise be required by law.

 

Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of such meeting or any one or more shareholders who together hold not less than 10% of the votes attaching to the total shares that are present in person or by proxy.

 

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless voting by poll is demanded by the chairman of the meeting or any one or more shareholders who together hold not less than 10 percent of the votes attaching to the total shares that are present in person or by proxy.

 

109
 

 

Any ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting of our Company and includes a unanimous written resolution.

 

A special resolution will be required for important matters such as amending our memorandum and articles of association or changing the name of the Company.

 

There are no limitations on non-residents or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the Ordinary Shares imposed by foreign law or by the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or other constituent document of our company. However, no person will be entitled to vote at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of the Ordinary Shares unless the person is registered as of the record date for such meeting and unless all calls or other sums presently payable by the person in respect of Ordinary Shares in the Company have been paid.

 

General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act (Cayman) to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each financial year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting in which case we shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting.

 

Advance notice of at least seven days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our Shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least one or more holder(s) of Shares holding not less than an aggregate of one-third of all votes attaching to all Shares in issue and entitled to vote in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative.

 

A majority of our directors may call general meetings and they shall on a shareholders’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of our Company. A shareholders’ requisition is a request of one or more shareholders holding as at the date of deposit of the request in aggregate not less than one-third of the voting rights (on a one vote per share basis) in the share capital of the Company. The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by or on behalf of each requisitioner and delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of our amended and restated articles of association. If our directors do not within 21 calendar days from the receipt of the requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting, the requisitioners, or any of them may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened must be called no later than three calendar months after the expiration of the said 21 calendar day period.

 

Winding Up; Liquidation. Subject to applicable law and any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to the distribution of available surplus assets on liquidation applicable to any class or classes of shares (1) if we are wound up and the assets available for distribution among our shareholders are more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed pari passu among our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise, and (2) if we are wound up and the assets available for distribution among our shareholders as such are insufficient to repay the whole of the paid-up capital, those assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them.

 

Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the terms of the allotment, our directors may from time to time make calls upon our shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 calendar days prior to the specified time and place for payment. Any ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

 

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the terms of the Companies Act (Cayman) and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association we may purchase our own shares. In accordance with our amended and restated articles of association, provided the necessary shareholders or board approval have been obtained and requirements under the Companies Act (Cayman) have been satisfied, we may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by our Board of Directors or by the Shareholders by special resolution. Under the Companies Act (Cayman), the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our Company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if our Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act (Cayman) no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares issued and outstanding or (c) if the Company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our Company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

 

110
 

 

Transfer of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of our Shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

 

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any share that is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any share unless:

 

  the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
     
  the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;
     
  the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;
     
  in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and
     
  a fee of such maximum sum as the NYSE American may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

 

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

 

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of the NYSE American, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 calendar days in any year.

 

Variations of Rights of Shares. If at any time our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any such class may be materially adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any shares of any class by the Company. The rights of the holders of shares shall not be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

 

Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our Ordinary Shares have no general right under our post-offering amended and restated articles of association to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

 

111
 

 

Issuance of Additional Shares. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize our Board of Directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our Board of Directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of Ordinary Shares.

 

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also authorize our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preference shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preference shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

 

  the designation of the series;
     
  the number of shares of the series;
     
  the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and
     
  the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

 

Our board of directors may issue preference shares without action by our Shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable. Our authorized, but unissued Ordinary Shares are available for future issuance without shareholders’ approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise addition capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Ordinary Shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (Cayman). The Companies Act (Cayman) distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

 

  does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;
     
  is not required to open its register of members for inspection;
     
  does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
     
  may not issue negotiable or bearer shares, but may issue shares with no par value;
     
  may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);
     
  may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
     
  may register as a limited duration company; and
     
  may register as a segregated portfolio company.

 

Nomination and Removal of Directors and Filling Vacancies on Board. At any time or from time to time, the Board shall have the power to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an additional Director to the existing Board subject to any maximum number of Directors, if any, as may be determined by the members in general meeting. Any Director so appointed to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the first general meeting of the company after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Any Director so appointed as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the company after his appointment and be eligible for re-election at such meeting. Any Director so appointed by the Board shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

 

112
 

 

At each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office by rotation. However, if the number of Directors is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third shall be the number of retiring Directors. The Directors to retire in each year shall be those who have been in office longest since their last re-election or appointment but, as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

 

No person, other than a retiring Director, shall, unless recommended by the Board for election, be eligible for election to the office of Director at any general meeting, unless notice in writing of the intention to propose that person for election as a Director and notice in writing by that person of his willingness to be elected has been lodged at the head office or at the registration office of the company. The period for lodgment of such notices shall commence no earlier than the day after despatch of the notice of the relevant meeting and end no later than seven days before the date of such meeting and the minimum length of the period during which such notices may be lodged must be at least seven days.

 

A Director is not required to hold any shares in the company by way of qualification nor is there any specified upper or lower age limit for Directors either for accession to or retirement from the Board.

 

A Director may be removed by an ordinary resolution of the company before the expiration of his term of office (but without prejudice to any claim which such Director may have for damages for any breach of any contract between him and the company) and the company may by ordinary resolution appoint another in his place. Any Director so appointed shall be subject to the retirement by rotation provisions.

 

The office of a Director shall be vacated if he:

 

(i) resigns;
   
(ii) dies;
   
(iii) is declared to be of unsound mind and the Board resolves that his office be vacated;
   
(iv) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors generally;
   
(v) he is prohibited from being or ceases to be a director by operation of law;
   
(vi) without special leave, is absent from meetings of the Board for six consecutive months, and the Board resolves that his office is vacated;
   
(vii) has been required by the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association) to cease to be a Director; or
   
(viii) is removed from office by the requisite majority of the Directors or otherwise pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 

From time to time the Board may appoint one or more of its body to be managing director, joint managing director or deputy managing director or to hold any other employment or executive office with the company for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine, and the Board may revoke or terminate any of such appointments. The Board may also delegate any of its powers to committees consisting of such Director(s) or other person(s) as the Board thinks fit, and from time to time it may also revoke such delegation or revoke the appointment of and discharge any such committees either wholly or in part, and either as to persons or purposes, but every committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers so delegated, conform to any regulations that may from time to time be imposed upon it by the Board.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

 

If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to the Financial Reporting Authority or a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

 

By subscribing for shares, the subscriber consents to the disclosure of any information about them to regulators and others upon request in connection with money laundering and similar matters both in the Cayman Islands and in other jurisdictions.

 

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

 

We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases the directors may be satisfied that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the “Regulations”) or any other applicable law. Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:

 

  (a) the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or
     
  (b) the subscriber is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or
     
  (c) the application is made through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors.

 

For the purposes of these exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.

 

In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

 

We also reserve the right to refuse to make any payment to a shareholder if our Directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

 

114
 

 

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority (“FRA”) of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the FRA, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

 

Data Protection in the Cayman Islands – Privacy Notice

 

This privacy notice explains the manner in which the Company collects, processes and maintains personal data about investors of the Company pursuant to the Data Protection Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended from time to time and any regulations, codes of practice or orders promulgated pursuant thereto (“DPA”).

 

The Company is committed to processing personal data in accordance with the DPA. In its use of personal data, the Company will be characterized under the DPA as a “data controller”, while certain of the Company’s service providers, affiliates and delegates may act as “data processors” under the DPA. These service providers may process personal information for their own lawful purposes in connection with services provided to the Company.

 

This privacy notice puts our shareholders on notice that, by virtue of making an investment in the company, the Company and certain of the Company’s service providers may collect, record, store, transfer and otherwise process personal data by which individuals may be directly or indirectly identified.

 

Your personal data will be processed fairly and for lawful purposes, including (a) where the processing is necessary for the Company to perform a contract to which you are a party or for taking pre-contractual steps at your request (b) where the processing is necessary for compliance with any legal, tax or regulatory obligation to which the Company is subject or (c) where the processing is for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the Company or by a service provider to whom the data are disclosed. As a data controller, we will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will contact you.

 

We anticipate that we will share your personal data with the Company’s service providers for the purposes set out in this privacy notice. We may also share relevant personal data where it is lawful to do so and necessary to comply with our contractual obligations or your instructions or where it is necessary or desirable to do so in connection with any regulatory reporting obligations. In exceptional circumstances, we will share your personal data with regulatory, prosecuting and other governmental agencies or departments, and parties to litigation (whether pending or threatened), in any country or territory including to any other person where we have a public or legal duty to do so (e.g. to assist with detecting and preventing fraud, tax evasion and financial crime or compliance with a court order).

 

Your personal data shall not be held by the Company for longer than necessary with regard to the purposes of the data processing.

 

We will not sell your personal data. Any transfer of personal data outside of the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the requirements of the DPA. Where necessary, we will ensure that separate and appropriate legal agreements are put in place with the recipient of that data.

 

The Company will only transfer personal data in accordance with the requirements of the DPA, and will apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data and against the accidental loss, destruction or damage to the personal data.

 

If you are a natural person, this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted limited partnerships) that provides us with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation to your investment into the company, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should inform such individuals of the content.

 

115
 

 

You have certain rights under the DPA, including (a) the right to be informed as to how we collect and use your personal data (and this privacy notice fulfills the Company’s obligation in this respect); (b) the right to obtain a copy of your personal data; (c) the right to require us to stop direct marketing; (d) the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected; (e) the right to withdraw your consent and require us to stop processing or restrict the processing, or not begin the processing of your personal data; (f) the right to be notified of a data breach (unless the breach is unlikely to be prejudicial); (g) the right to obtain information as to any countries or territories outside the Cayman Islands to which we, whether directly or indirectly, transfer, intend to transfer or wish to transfer your personal data, general measures we take to ensure the security of personal data and any information available to us as to the source of your personal data; (h) the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman of the Cayman Islands; and (i) the right to require us to delete your personal data in some limited circumstances.

 

If you consider that your personal data has not been handled correctly, or you are not satisfied with the Company’s responses to any requests you have made regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Cayman Islands’ Ombudsman. The Ombudsman can be contacted by accessing their website here: ombudsman.ky.

 

Differences in Corporate Law

 

The Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of some of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

 

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Companies Act permits merger and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies provided that the laws of foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation. For these purposes, a “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a new consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company.

 

In order to effect a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. A merger between a Cayman Islands parent company and its Cayman Islands subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman Islands subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman Islands subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

 

The plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid the fair value of their shares if they follow the required procedures under the Companies Act subject to certain exceptions. The fair value of the shares will be determined by the Cayman Islands court if it cannot be agreed among the parties. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation effected in compliance with these statutory procedures. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

 

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman Islands constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provided the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act (Cayman). The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by either (i) a majority in number of each class of creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of creditors, or (ii) three-fourths in value of each class of shareholders with whom the arrangement is to be made, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

 

(a) the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

 

(b) the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

 

(c) the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

 

(d) the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

 

The Companies Act (Cayman) also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition that may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholders upon a tender offer. When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of not less than 90% of the shares within four months after the making of the offer, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, give notice to require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands by a dissenting shareholder within one month from the date on which the notice was given, but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer that has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

 

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, or if a takeover offer is made and accepted, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

 

Shareholders’ Suits. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule, a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

 

  a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;
     
  the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained;
     
  an act purports to abridge or abolish the individual rights of a shareholder; and
     
  those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

 

117
 

 

In the case of a company (not being a bank) having its share capital divided into shares, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may, on the application of members holding not less than one fifth of the shares of the company in issue, appoint an inspector to examine the affairs of the company and to report thereon in such manner as the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands shall direct.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, 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 the consequences of committing a crime, or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty.

 

Our amended and restated articles of association provide that, to the extent permitted by law, we will indemnify every director, or former director secretary, or other officer for the time being and from time to time of our Company (but not including our auditors) and the personal representatives of the same and from: (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities incurred or sustained by such person, other than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty; and (b) without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses, or liabilities incurred by such person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. To the extent permitted by Cayman Islands law, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the existing director or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that we are ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director or former director (including alternate director), the secretary or the officer for those legal costs. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. Insofar as indemnification for holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of a procedure for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

 

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties. Under Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, the fiduciary duties owed by a director and officer include (a) a duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes for which they were conferred and not for a collateral purpose, (c) a duty to avoid improperly fettering the exercise of future discretion, (d) a duty to avoid any conflict of interest between the director’s duty to the company and the director’s personal interests, and (e) a duty to exercise independent judgment. In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

 

118
 

 

Shareholder Action by Written Consent. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. The Companies Act and our amended and restated articles of association provide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

 

Shareholder Proposals. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

 

The Companies Act (Cayman) provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and it does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association allow our Shareholders holding in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares of our Company entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our Shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our amended and restated articles of association do not provide our Shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we may but are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

 

Cumulative Voting. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the Companies Act but our articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting.

 

Removal of Directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our amended and restated articles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our Shareholders. In addition, a director’s office shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from meetings of our board for three consecutive meetings and our board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

 

Transactions with Interested Shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

 

119
 

 

The Cayman Islands has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

 

Dissolution; Winding up. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. Under the Companies Act, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Companies Act and our amended and restated articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

 

Variation of Rights of Shares. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act (Cayman) and our amended and restated articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the written consent of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any shares of any class by our Company. The rights of the holders of shares shall not be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

 

Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by the Companies Act (Cayman), our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

 

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders. There are no limitations imposed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

 

History of Securities Issuances

 

The following is a summary of our securities issuances in the past three years.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

120
 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this offering, no public market existed for our Shares. Sales of substantial amounts of our Shares following this offering, including Shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Shares and could impair our future ability to obtain capital, especially through an offering of equity securities. Assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional Shares in this offering, we will have an aggregate of 20,000,000 Shares outstanding upon the closing of this offering. Of these shares, the Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless purchased by “affiliates” (as that term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”)), who may sell only the volume of shares described below and whose sales would be subject to additional restrictions described below. Further, since a large number of our Ordinary Shares will not be available for sale shortly after this Offering because of the contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after these restrictions lapse, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

The remaining Shares will be held by our Controlling Shareholder and our other existing shareholders will be deemed to be “restricted securities” (as that term is defined under Rule 144). Subject to certain contractual restrictions, including the lock-up agreements described below, restricted securities may only be sold in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration such as under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These rules are summarized below.

 

Lock-up Agreements

 

We, our directors and executive officers, and all shareholders our Ordinary Shares have agreed, subject to some exceptions, not to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of our Ordinary Shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Ordinary Shares, for a period of 180 days from the closing of this offering. Exceptions to the lock-up are (a) transfers of Ordinary Shares to family transferees, (b) charitable transfers and (c) transfers to affiliated entities; in each case, provided that the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the lock-up (“Customary Exceptions”). After the expiration of the 180 days period, the Ordinary Shares held by our directors, executive officers and our existing shareholders may be sold subject to the restrictions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or by means of registered public offerings.

 

Rule 144

 

Shares Held for Six Months

 

In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as currently in effect, and subject to the terms of any lock-up agreement, commencing 90 days following the closing of this offering, a person, including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned our Shares for six months or more, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates (i.e., commencing when the Shares were acquired from us or from an affiliate of us as restricted securities), is entitled to sell our Shares, subject to the availability of current public information about us (which information will be deemed to be available as long as we continue to file required reports with the SEC). In the case of an affiliate shareholder, the right to sell is also subject to the fulfillment of certain additional conditions, including manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, and a volume limitation that limits the number of Shares that may be sold thereby, within any three-month period, to the greater of:

 

  1% of the number of Shares then outstanding; or
     
  the average weekly trading volume of our Shares on the Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

Rule 144 under the Securities Act also provides that affiliates that sell our Shares that are not restricted securities must nonetheless comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted securities, other than the holding period requirement.

 

Shares Held by Non-Affiliates for One Year

 

Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who is not considered to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the Shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, is entitled to sell his, her, or its Shares under Rule 144 without complying with the provisions relating to the availability of current public information or with any other conditions under Rule 144. Therefore, unless subject to a lock-up agreement or otherwise restricted, such Shares may be sold immediately upon the closing of this offering.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following discussion of material Cayman Islands, Malaysia, Hong Kong and United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws.

 

Cayman Islands Taxation

 

The following is a discussion on certain Cayman Islands income tax consequences of an investment in our securities. The discussion is a general summary of present law, which is subject to prospective and retroactive change. It is not intended as tax advice, does not consider any investor’s particular circumstances, and does not consider tax consequences other than those arising under Cayman Islands law.

 

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our securities will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the securities nor will gains derived from the disposal of the securities be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

 

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or brought within, the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of our securities or on an instrument of transfer in respect of our securities.

 

Our company has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has obtained an undertaking from the Cayman Islands Government as to tax concessions under the Tax Concessions Act (Revised). In accordance with the provision of Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (Revised), the Cayman Islands Government undertakes with our company:

 

  that no law that is hereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains, or appreciations shall apply to our company or its operations; and
     
  in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains, or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:
     
    on or in respect of the shares, debentures, or other obligations of our company; or
       
    by way of the withholding, in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act (Revised).

 

These concessions shall be for a period of 20 years from December 23, 2025.

 

Hong Kong Taxation

 

The following summary of certain relevant taxation provisions under the laws of Hong Kong is based on current law and practice, is subject to changes therein and does not constitute legal or tax advice. This summary does not purport to address all possible tax consequences relating to purchasing, holding or selling the Ordinary Shares, and does not take into account the specific circumstances of any particular investors, some of whom may be subject to special rules. Accordingly, holders or prospective purchasers (particularly those subject to special tax rules, such as banks, dealers, insurance companies and tax-exempt entities) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of purchasing, holding or selling the Ordinary Shares. The discussion is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. Under the current laws of Hong Kong:

 

  No profit tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of the Ordinary Shares.

 

122
 

 

  Revenue gains from the sale of Ordinary Shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong where the gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong from the trade, profession or business will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax, which is currently imposed at the rate of 16.5% and 15% on corporations and unincorporated businesses, respectively. Profits tax is levied on a two-tiered profits tax rate basis, with the first HK$2 million of profits being taxed at 8.25% for corporations and 7.5% for unincorporated businesses, and profits exceeding the first HK$2 million being taxed at 16.5% for corporations and 15% for unincorporated businesses.
     
  Gains arising from the sale of Ordinary Shares, where the purchases and sales of Ordinary Shares are effected outside of Hong Kong such as, for example, on the New York Stock Exchange, should not be subject to Hong Kong profits tax.

 

According to the current tax practice of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares would not be subject to any Hong Kong tax.

 

No Hong Kong stamp duty is payable on the purchase and sale of the Ordinary Shares.

 

Malaysia Taxation

The following brief description of Malaysian enterprise income taxation is designed to highlight the enterprise-level taxation on our earnings, which will affect the amount of dividends, if any, we are ultimately able to pay to our shareholders.

 

Income Tax in Malaysia

 

The principal legislation that governs a person’s income tax in Malaysia is the Income Tax Act 1967 (“ITA”). The regulatory body implementing and enforcing the ITA is the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (“IRB”). Pursuant to Section 3 of the ITA, income tax shall be charged for each year of assessment (“YA”) upon the income of any person accruing in or derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia.

 

Pursuant to Section 8 of the ITA, a company is a tax resident in Malaysia if its management and control of its affairs are exercised in Malaysia. Generally, a company is regarded as resident in Malaysia if, at any time during the basis period for a YA, at least one meeting of the Board of Directors is held in Malaysia concerning the management and control of the company.

 

Under the tax treaties Malaysia has with its treaty partners, a non-resident of a treaty partner that derives business profits from Malaysia is generally subject to Malaysian income tax only if the non-resident has a permanent establishment in Malaysia. Generally, under a tax treaty, a non-resident entity is regarded as having a permanent establishment in Malaysia if it has a fixed place of business in Malaysia, where the business of the entity is wholly or partly carried on.

 

For both resident and non-resident companies, corporate income tax (“CIT”) is imposed on income accruing in or derived from Malaysia. Resident companies are also taxed on foreign-sourced income received in Malaysia subject to certain exemptions. For reference, the CIT rates for YA 2024 are provided in the following table:

 

Type of company   Chargeable income (RM)   CIT for YA 2024 (%)

Resident company (other than company described below)

  All chargeable income   24
         

Resident company:

  On the first 150,000   15
        On the next 450,000   17
  with paid-up capital of RM 2.5 million or less, and gross income from business of not more than RM 50 million   In excess of 600,000   24
  that does not control, directly or indirectly, another company that has paid-up capital of more than RM 2.5 million        
  is not controlled, directly or indirectly, by another company that has paid-up capital of more than RM 2.5 million, and        
  with no more than 20% of its paid-up capital being owned, directly or indirectly, by a foreign company or non-Malaysian citizen.        
             

Non-resident company

  All chargeable income   24

 

123
 

 

Foreign-Sourced Income

 

Prior to January 1, 2022, “income received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia” or “foreign-sourced income” (“FSI”) received by Malaysian taxpayers is not taxable due to the availability of tax exemption under Paragraph 28, Schedule 6 of the ITA (“Para 28”). This exemption is applicable to any person other than a resident company carrying on the business of banking, insurance, or sea or air transport, in respect of income derived from sources outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia, pursuant to Para 28. The Malaysian government announced via the Budget 2022 that the exemption under Para 28 will no longer be applicable to tax residents with effect from January 1, 2022, whereby income tax is imposed on resident persons in Malaysia on income derived from foreign sources and received in Malaysia. Such income will be treated equally vis-à-vis income accruing in or derived from Malaysia and taxable under Section 3 of the ITA.

 

Notwithstanding the implementation of taxation on FSI, the exemption from income tax is made available for a period of five years commencing from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 on certain categories of FSI received by Malaysian tax residents, when certain qualifying conditions are met, pursuant to the Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 5) Order 2022 and Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 6) Order 2022. Specifically, (i) for individuals excluding those carrying on business in Malaysia through a partnership, all categories of FSI are exempted provided that the income has been subjected to tax in the jurisdiction of origin; and (ii) for companies and limited liability partnerships, among others, foreign-sourced dividend income is exempted.

 

The Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 5) Order 2022 (Amendment) Order 2024, which will come into operation on January 1, 2027, extends the income tax exemption for all types of FSI received by resident individuals until December 31, 2036.

 

Profit Distribution and Withholding Tax

 

We are a holding company incorporated as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and we gain substantial income by way of dividends to be paid to us from Gigabit MY, our direct subsidiary in Malaysia.

 

Malaysia is under the single-tier tax system, under which income tax imposed on a company’s chargeable income is a final tax, and dividends distributed are exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. As such, companies are not required to deduct tax from dividends paid to shareholders, and no tax credits will be available to offset against the recipient’s tax liability. Corporate shareholders receiving exempt single-tier dividends can, in turn, distribute such dividends to their own shareholders, who are also exempt on such receipts. In addition, while Malaysia imposes withholding tax on certain payments made by a tax resident to a non-resident, such as interest, royalties, contract payments for services rendered in Malaysia, and special classes of income, Malaysia does not do so on dividends in addition to tax on the profits out of which the dividends are declared. Such position aligns with the double taxation agreements (“DTAs”) concluded by Malaysia with an extensive number of countries. Pursuant to the DTAs, no withholding tax will be imposed on dividends paid by Malaysian companies to non-residents.

 

In view of the above, dividends which will be paid to us from our direct subsidiary in Malaysia will not be subject to any withholding tax.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders that hold our Ordinary Shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This summary is based on U.S. federal tax laws in effect as of the date of this prospectus, on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed as of the date of this prospectus, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with respect to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. Moreover, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, backup withholding, and alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local, and non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

 

  financial institutions or financial services entities;
     
  underwriters;
     
  insurance companies;
     
  pension plans;
     
  cooperatives;
     
  regulated investment companies;
     
  real estate investment trusts;
     
  grantor trusts;
     
  broker-dealers;
     
  traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;
     
  governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
     
  certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;
     
  tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);
     
  persons liable for alternative minimum tax;
     
  persons holding stock as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;
     
  persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
     
  passive foreign investment companies;
     
  controlled foreign corporations;
     
  the Company’s officers or directors;
     
  holders who are not U.S. Holders;
     
  persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock; or
     
  partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding Ordinary Shares through such entities.

 

125
 

 

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

  an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
     
  a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
     
  an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
     
  a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions, or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Ordinary Shares and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Persons considering an investment in our Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

 

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Ordinary Shares

 

As discussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not anticipate that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” any cash distributions (including the amount of any PRC tax withheld) paid on our Ordinary Shares out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution we pay will generally be treated as a “dividend” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-corporate U.S. Holder will be subject to tax on dividend income from a “qualified foreign corporation” at a lower applicable capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain holding period requirements are met. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) will generally be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States that the U.S. Secretary of Treasury determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and includes an exchange of information program, or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock that is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, including Nasdaq. It is unclear whether dividends that we pay on our Ordinary Shares will meet the conditions required for the reduced tax rate. However, in the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be eligible for the benefits of the United States-PRC income tax treaty. If we are eligible for such benefits, dividends we pay on our Ordinary Shares would be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation described in this paragraph. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares. Dividends received on our Ordinary Shares will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations.

 

126
 

 

Dividends will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit not in excess of any applicable treaty rate in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on our Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and their outcome depends in large part on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

 

Taxation of Sale or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Ordinary Shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long term if the Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are currently eligible for reduced rates of taxation. In the event that gain from the disposition of the Ordinary Shares is subject to tax in the PRC, such gain may be treated as PRC-source gain under the United States-PRC income tax treaty. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and cash equivalents are categorized as passive assets and the company’s goodwill and other unbooked intangibles are taken into account as non-passive assets. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

 

No assurance can be given as to whether we may be or may become a PFIC, as this is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. Furthermore, the composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this Offering. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increase relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming classified as a PFIC may substantially increase. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets, each of which may result in our becoming a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. If we were classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares even if we cease to be a PFIC in subsequent years, unless certain elections are made. Our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status for any taxable year.

 

127
 

 

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Ordinary Shares. Under these rules,

 

  the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares;
     
  the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be taxable as ordinary income;
     
  the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year; and
     
  an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, of the U.S. Holder.

 

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, or if any of our subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of any lower-tier PFICs for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

 

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that such stock is “regularly traded” within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. If our Ordinary Shares qualify as being regularly traded, and an election is made, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Ordinary Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of such Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but such deduction will only be allowed to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but such loss will only be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

 

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Furthermore, as an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder that owns stock of a PFIC generally may make a “qualified electing fund” election regarding such corporation to elect out of the PFIC rules described above regarding excess distributions and recognized gains. However, we do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

 

If a U.S. Holder owns our Ordinary Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder must generally file an annual Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department, whether or not a mark-to-market election is or has been made. If we are or become a PFIC, you should consult your tax advisor regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to you.

 

You should consult your tax advisors regarding how the PFIC rules apply to your investment in our Ordinary Shares.

 

128
 

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the Internal Revenue Service relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-United States corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds US$50,000 (or a higher dollar amount prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in custodial accounts maintained with a U.S. financial institution). These rules also impose penalties if a U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the Internal Revenue Service and fails to do so.

 

In addition, dividend payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to additional information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on IRS Form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on IRS Form W-9. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual Shareholders. However, transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

 

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

 

UNDERWRITING

 

In connection with this offering, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with D. Boral Capital, acting as representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters named below. The Representative may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected dealers on its behalf in connection with this offering and may pay any sub-agent a solicitation fee with respect to any securities placed by it. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we have agreed to issue and sell to the underwriters, and each of the underwriters, severally and not jointly, has agreed to purchase from us, on a firm commitment basis, the respective number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name below, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus:

 

Name  Number
of Ordinary Shares
 
D. Boral Capital          
Total     

 

The underwriters are offering the Ordinary Shares subject to their acceptance of the Ordinary Shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions, such as absence of any material adverse change in our business or in the financial markets and receipt by the underwriters of certain officers’ certificates and legal opinions and comfort letters from us, our counsels and the independent auditors. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares covered by the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described below.

 

129
 

 

The Underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the Ordinary Shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a concession. The Underwriter may allow, and certain dealers may reallow, a discount from the concession to certain brokers and dealers. After this offering, the public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the Representative. No such reduction shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The securities are offered by the underwriters as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part. The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for up to 45 days after the closing of this offering, to purchase up to 187,500 additional Ordinary Shares equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares sold by us in this offering at the initial public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, the underwriters will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional Ordinary Shares as the number listed next to the underwriters’ name in the preceding table bears to the total number of Ordinary Shares listed next to the name of all underwriters in the preceding table.

 

Discounts and Expenses

 

The underwriting discount is equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the public offering price on each of the Ordinary Shares being offered.

 

The following table shows the price per Ordinary Share and total public offering price, underwriting discounts, and proceeds before expenses to us, calculated based on the fact that 100% of the gross proceeds of the offering are raised from investors introduced directly or indirectly by any party or entity which is not the Company, assuming a $4.00 per Ordinary Share initial offering price. The total amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment option.

We will also pay to the Representative by deduction from gross proceeds of the offering contemplated herein, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one half percent (0.5%) of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of Ordinary Shares.

 

We have agreed to pay all expenses relating to the offering, including, without limitation, (a) all filing fees and expenses relating to the registration of the Ordinary Shares with the SEC; (b) all fees and expenses relating to the listing of the Ordinary Shares on a national exchange, if applicable; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of the Ordinary Shares under the “blue sky” securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate (including, without limitation, all filing and registration fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company’s “blue sky” counsel, which will be the Representative’s counsel) unless such filings are not required in connection with the Company’s proposed listing on a national exchange, if applicable; (d) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the Ordinary Shares under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate; (e) the costs of all mailing and printing of the offering documents; (f) transfer and/or stamp taxes, if any, payable upon the transfer of the Ordinary Shares from the Company to the Representative; (g) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants; (h) all filing fees and communication expenses associated with the review of the offering by FINRA; (i) up to $30,000 of the Representative’s actual accountable road show and due diligence expenses for the offering; (j) the $29,500 cost associated with the Representative’s use of Ipreo’s book building, prospectus tracking and compliance software for the offering; (k) all fees, expenses, and disbursement relating to background checks of the Company’s directors and officers in an amount not to exceed $10,000 in the aggregate; (l) the fees for the Representative’s legal counsels in the United States, Hong Kong and other foreign jurisdictions, as applicable, in an amount not to exceed $150,000. If there is no closing, the legal fees shall not exceed $75,000.

 

Additionally, the Company will provide an expense advance (the “Advance”) to D. Boral Capital of $50,000, with $25,000 due upon the execution of the Engagement Letter (as defined below) and $25,000 due upon filing of the Registration Statement. The Advance shall be applied toward out-of-pocket accountable expenses set forth in the Engagement Letter between the Company and D. Boral Capital, dated July 21, 2025 (the “Engagement Letter”) and any portion of the Advance shall be returned to the Company to the extent not actually incurred. D. Boral Capital may deduct from the net proceeds of the Offering payable to the Company on the date of closing of the Offering, or the closing of the Over-Allotment Option, if any, the expenses set forth herein to be paid by the Company to the underwriters (and the Advance will be applied toward the aforementioned $75,000 cap if there is no a closing). Additionally, one half of one percent (0.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Offering shall be payable to D. Boral Capital at the Closing for non-accountable expenses.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

We have agreed, provided that this offering is completed, that until twelve (12) months after the closing of this offering, the Representative shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent at its sole discretion, for each and every future public equity and debt offering, including all public equity linked financings (each, a “Subject Transaction”), during such 12-month period, of the Company, or any successor to or any current or future subsidiary of our Company, on terms and conditions customary to the Representative for such Subject Transaction. The Representative shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker dealer shall have the right to participate in a Subject Transaction and the economic terms of such participation. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Company shall not retain, engage or solicit any additional investment banker, book-runner, financial advisor, underwriter and/or placement agent in a Subject Transaction during the 12-month period referred to above without the express written consent of the Representative, provided, however, that such right shall be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g), including that the right of first refusal may be terminated by the Company for cause in case of the Representative’s material failure to provide the services contemplated in the underwriting agreement.

 

131
 

 

Lock-up Agreements

 

We have agreed, on behalf of ourselves and any successor entity, that without the prior written consent of the Representative for a period ending 180 days from the closing of this offering, we will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of share capital of the Company or any securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for share capital of the Company, (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any share capital of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for of share capital of the Company, (iii) complete any offering of our debt securities, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank, or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequence of ownership of share capital of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of share capital of the Company or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

Our directors, officers and shareholders of our outstanding securities (including warrants, options and other securities exercisable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares) as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part have agreed, for a period of 180 days from the closing of this offering, subject to Customary Exceptions, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer, or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of share capital of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

 

The Representative has no present intention to waive or shorten the lock-up period; however, the terms of the lock-up agreement may be waived at its discretion. In determining whether to waive the terms of the lock-up agreements, the Representative may base its decision on its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and companies similar to ours in general, and the trading pattern of, and demand for, our securities in general.

 

In addition, all the shareholders of our outstanding securities (other than Mr. Teoh Paik Yau, Mr. Teoh Paik Loon and Mr. Tee Pui Tai) have agreed, for a period of one year from the closing of this offering, subject to Customary Exceptions, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer, or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any share capital of the Company. After the expiration of this one year period, and for an additional 18 months thereafter, such shareholders will be permitted to dispose of up to 10% of their equity securities in each three-month period.

 

Tail Fee

 

The Representative shall be entitled to a cash fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments to any investor actually introduced by the Representative to us during our engagement period with the Representative, in connection with any public or private financing or capital raise (each a “Tail Financing”), and such Tail Financing is consummated within the twelve (12) month period following the expiration or termination of our engagement of the Representative, provided that such Tail Financing is by a party actually introduced to the Company in an offering in which the Company has direct knowledge of such party’s participation. Such right shall be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5), including that it may be terminated by us for cause in case of the Representative’s material failure to provide the services contemplated in the underwriting agreement.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, or to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

 

Nasdaq Listing

 

We plan to have our Ordinary Shares approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GBH”. We make no representation that such application will be approved or that our Ordinary Shares will trade on such market either now or at any time in the future; notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not close this offering unless such Ordinary Shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the completion of this offering.

 

Electronic Distribution

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by Representative or by its affiliates. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Representative’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by it is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Representative in its capacity as an underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

 

132
 

 

Any underwriter who is a qualified market maker on the Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

 

No Prior Public Market

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our securities and the public offering price for our Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between us and the Representative. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the Representative believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant. The offering price for our Ordinary Shares in this offering has been arbitrarily determined by the Company in its negotiations with the underwriters and does not necessarily bear any direct relationship to the assets, operations, book or other established criteria of value of the Company. The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the Ordinary Shares sold in the public offering. The values of such shares are subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. We offer no assurances that the offering price will correspond to the price at which the Ordinary Shares will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our shares will develop and continue after this offering.

 

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Ordinary Shares. Specifically, the Representative may sell more shares than it is obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriters under option to purchase additional shares. The Representative can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out a covered short sale, the Representative will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the option to purchase additional shares. The Representative may also sell shares in excess of the option to purchase additional shares, creating a naked short position. The Representative must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Representative is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

The Representative may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing our Ordinary Shares in this offering because such underwriter repurchases those shares in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

 

Finally, the Representative may bid for, and purchase, our Ordinary Shares in market making transactions, including passive market making transactions as described above.

 

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our Ordinary Shares at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

 

Other Relationships

 

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Some of the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and our affiliates, for which they may in the future receive customary fees, commissions and expenses. In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Offers Outside the United States

In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”) an offer to the public of any shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus may not be made in that Relevant Member State unless the prospectus has been approved by the competent authority in such Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that an offer to the public in that Relevant Member State of any shares may be made at any time under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive, if they have been implemented in that Relevant Member State:

 

to legal entities which are authorized or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorized or regulated, whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any shares under, the offer of shares contemplated by this prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with us and the underwriters that:

 

it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive; and
   
in the case of any shares acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the shares acquired by it in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than “qualified investors” (as defined in the Prospectus Directive), or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where shares have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those shares to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.

TO THE MEMBERS OF GIGABIT INC.

(Company No.: 416755)

(Incorporated in Cayman Islands)

 

Report on the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements

 

Opinion on the Accountants’ Report

 

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Gigabit Inc (“the Company”) and its combining entities (collectively referred as “the Group”), which comprises the combined statements of financial position as at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 of the Group, and the combined statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined statements of cash flows of the Group for the financial years then ended, and notes to the combined financial statements, including material accounting policy information as set out on pages 3 to 72. In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the financial years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE MEMBERS OF GIGABIT INC. (CONT’D)

(Company No.: 416755)

(Incorporated in Cayman Islands)

 

Basis for Opinion (Cont’d)

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1.General Information (Cont’d)

 

1.4Acquisitions

 

1.On 19 May 2025, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Mr. Teoh Paik Yau to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit HK at a consideration of USD53.999 settled by issuance and allotment of 539,999 ordinary shares of Gigabit Inc at an issue price of USD0.0001 per share. The acquisition of Gigabit HK was completed on 19 May 2025 and consequently, Gigabit HK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; and

 

2.On 19 May 2025, the Company entered into a share sale agreement with Mr. Teoh Paik Loon and Mr. Teoh Paik Yau to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit MY at a consideration of RM9,907,444 settled by issuance and allotment of 460,000 ordinary shares of Gigabit Inc at an issue price of USD0.0001 per share. The acquisition of Gigabit MY was completed on 29 May 2025 and consequently, Gigabit MY became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

1.5Group structure after Acquisitions

 

Following the completion of the Acquisitions, the group structure of the Company will be as follows:

 

 

The acquisitions of Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK have been accounted for as common control transactions using an approach similar to the pooling of interests method, as the combining entities were under common control of the same ultimate shareholders before and after the acquisitions.

 

F-16

 

 

1.General Information (Cont’d)

 

1.5Group structure after Acquisitions (Cont’d)

 

Accordingly, the combined financial statements for the financial years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 have been prepared comprise of the financial statements of the combining entities which were under common control as if the current group structure had been in place since the beginning of the earliest period presented. The results and financial position of the combining entities have been aggregated from the date they first came under the control of the controlling party.

 

As the ordinary shares issued by the Company in exchange for the Acquisitions were legally issued in May 2025 (after the reporting period), they have not been retrospectively reflected in the issued and fully paid share capital of the Company in the combined statements of changes in equity for prior periods. However, for the purpose of earnings per share calculations, the Company has treated such shares as if they were issued at the beginning of the earliest period presented, consistent with the accounting treatment for common control transactions and in accordance with IAS 33.64.

 

1.6Restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to transfer funds to the Company

 

The Company’s ability to pay dividends and meet its obligations depends primarily on the receipt of funds from its operating subsidiaries in Malaysia and Hong Kong. These subsidiaries are subject to local regulations which may restrict their ability to make distributions to the parent company, including:

 

Malaysian subsidiaries are subject to exchange control regulations under the Financial Services Act 2013 and must obtain approval from Bank Negara Malaysia for certain cross-border payments.

 

Hong Kong subsidiaries are subject to capital maintenance rules under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and must have sufficient retained earnings before declaring dividends.

 

As of 31 December 2024, the Group had cash and bank balances of USD4.4 million, of which USD1.7 million (Malaysia) and USD2.7 million (Hong Kong) were held in subsidiaries that may be subject to such restrictions.

 

The Group has evaluated the requirements of Rule 1-02(dd) of Regulation S-X and determined that there are no restrictions imposed by lenders, regulators, or foreign governments that prevent subsidiaries from transferring funds to the parent company in the form of dividends, loans, or advances. Accordingly, no portion of the Group’s net assets is considered restricted, and parent-only financial information under Rule 5-04 of Regulation S-X is not required.

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (Cont’d)

 

IFRS 18 additional requirements are as follows:

 

(i)Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income

 

IFRS 18 introduces newly defined “operating profit or loss” and “profit or loss before financing and income tax” subtotal which are to be presented in the statement of profit or loss, while the net profit or loss remains unchanged. Statement of profit or loss to be presented in five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations.

 

(ii)Statement of Cash Flows

(v)Enhanced Guidance on Aggregation and Disaggregation

(b)Functional and presentation currency

 

The individual financial statements of each combining entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (“the functional currency”). The combined financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“USD”), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

 

(c)Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of the Group’s combined financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

 

F-21

 

 

2.Basis of Preparation (Cont’d)

 

(c)Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (Cont’d)

 

Judgements

 

The following are the judgements made by management in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the combined financial statements:

 

Satisfaction of performance obligations in relation to contracts with customers

 

The Group is required to assess each of its contracts with customers to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time in order to determine the appropriate method for recognising revenue. This assessment was made based on the terms and conditions of the contracts, and the provisions of relevant laws and regulations.

 

The Group recognises revenue over time in the following circumstances:

 

(i)the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs;
(ii)the Group does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date; and
(iii)the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

 

Where the above criteria are not met, revenue is recognised at a point in time. Where revenue is recognised at a point in time, the Group assesses each contract with customers to determine when the performance obligation of the Group under the contract is satisfied.

(c)Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (Cont’d)

 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation or uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are set out below:

 

Depreciation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets

 

The Group reviews the residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods at the end of each reporting period. Judgements are applied in the selection of the depreciation method, the useful lives and the residual values. The actual consumption of the economic benefits of the property, plant and equipment and ROU assets may differ from the estimates applied and therefore, future depreciation charges would be revised. The carrying amounts of the Group’s property, plant and equipment and ROU assets are disclosed in Notes 4 and 5 respectively.

 

Deferred tax assets

 

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, unutilised capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses, unutilised capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are disclosed in Note 15.

 

Inventories valuation

 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The Group estimates the net realisable value of inventories based on an assessment of expected sales prices less estimated cost to sell. Demand levels and pricing competition could change from time to time. If such factors result in an adverse effect on the Group’s products, the Group might be required to reduce the value of its inventories. Details of inventories are disclosed in Note 7.

(c)Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (Cont’d)

 

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (Cont’d)

 

Provision for expected credit loss of financial assets at amortised cost

 

The Group uses a provision matrix to calculate expected credit loss for trade receivables. The provision rates are based on number of days past due.

 

The provision matrix is initially based on the Group’s historical observed default rates. The Group will calibrate the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience. At every reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.

 

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecast economic conditions and expected credit loss is a significant estimate. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may not be representative of customer’s actual default in the future. Information about the expected credit loss on the Group’s trade receivables is disclosed in Note 9.

 

Discount rate used in leases

 

Where the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate requires estimation, particularly when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates.

 

Income taxes

 

Judgement is involved in determining the provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.

 

The Group recognises liabilities for tax based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these tax matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and/or deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

 

F-24

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies

 

The Group applies the material accounting policies set out below, consistently throughout all periods presented in the combined financial statements unless otherwise stated.

 

(a)Foreign currency transactions and balances

 

Transactions in foreign currency are recorded in the functional currency of the respective Group entities using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

 

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the reporting date are included in profit or loss except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group’s net investment in foreign operation. These are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Company’s net investment in foreign operation are recognised in profit or loss in the Company’s financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate.

 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the reporting period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised in other comprehensive income.

 

(b)Basis of consolidation - Business combination

 

A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all the combining entities or business are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. The acquisition of the combining entities resulted in a business involving common control since the management of all the entities which took part in the acquisition were controlled by common Directors and under common shareholders before and immediately after the acquisition, and accordingly the accounting treatment is outside the scope of IFRS 3.

 

F-25

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(b)Basis of consolidation - Business combination (Cont’d)

 

Under the merger method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries are presented as if the merger had been effected throughout the current and previous years. The assets and liabilities combined are accounted for based on the carrying amounts from the perspective of the common control shareholder at the date of transfer. On consolidation, the cost of the merger is cancelled with the values of the shares received. Any resulting credit differences is classified as equity and regarded as a non-distributable reserve. Any resulting debit difference is adjusted against any suitable reserve. Any reserves which are attributable to share capital of the merged entities, to the extent that they have not been capitalised by a debit difference, are reclassified and presented as movement in merger deficit.

 

(c)Property, plant and equipment

 

(i)Recognition and measurement

 

All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

(ii)Depreciation

 

Depreciation is recognised in the profit or loss on straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life.

 

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Computer and hardware 2.5 years
Furniture and fittings 10 years
Office equipment 10 years
Renovation 3 - 10 years

 

F-26

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(d)Leases

 

As lessee

 

(i)Right-of-use assets (“ROU”)

 

ROU assets are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the ROU assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

 

The ROU assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the estimated useful lives of the ROU assets or the end of the lease term.

 

(ii)Lease liabilities

 

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

 

Subsequent to the initial recognition, the lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost and adjusted for any lease reassessment or modifications.

 

(iii)Short-term leases and leases of low value assets

 

The Group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

 

(e)Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets acquired separately

 

Intangible assets comprise of development cost and are stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The assets usage rights are amortised on a straight-line method over 5 years.

 

F-27

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(f)Financial assets

 

Recognition and initial measurement

 

Financial assets are recognised in the combined statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments.

 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance of the financial instruments. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

 

Financial asset categories and subsequent measurement

 

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Group classifies its financial assets as financial assets at amortised cost.

 

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flows characteristics of the financial assets.

 

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

 

Financial assets at amortised cost

 

Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are subject to impairment. Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

 

F-28

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(g)Financial liabilities

 

Recognition and initial measurement

 

Financial liabilities are recognised in the combined statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

 

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial liability at its fair value less, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance of the financial instruments.

 

Financial liability categories and subsequent measurement

 

For the purpose of subsequent measurement, the Group classifies its financial liabilities as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

 

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

 

Financial liabilities not categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

 

(h)Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

 

Cost of finished goods comprise cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing it to their present location and condition are determined on a first-in-first-out basis.

 

(i)Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdrafts and short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits.

 

F-29

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(j)Contract assets and liabilities

 

Contract asset is the right to consideration for goods or services transferred to the customers. The Group’s contract assets are the excess of revenue recognised over the billings to-date and deposits or advances received from customers.

 

Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount of impairment losses is determined by comparing the contract asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows to be generated by the contract asset.

 

Contract asset is reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which invoices have been billed to customers.

 

Contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to customers for which the Group has received the consideration or has billed the customers. The Group’s contract liabilities are the excess of the billings to-date over the revenue recognised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs its obligation under the contracts.

 

(k)Impairment of assets

 

(i)Non-financial assets

 

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets (except for inventories and contract assets) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, or that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated each period at the same time.

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units. Subject to operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

F-30

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(k)Impairment of assets (Cont’d)

 

(i)Non-financial assets (Cont’d)

 

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.

 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.

 

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised for asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

 

(ii)Financial assets

 

The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

 

F-31

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(k)Impairment of assets (Cont’d)

 

(ii)Financial assets (Cont’d)

 

ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (“a 12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (“a lifetime ECL”).

 

For trade and other receivables, contract assets and inter-company balances, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience to the debtors and the economic environment.

 

(l)Share capital

 

Ordinary shares are equity instruments. Ordinary shares are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct attributable incremental transaction costs. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

 

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period they are approved by the Board of Directors except for the final dividend which is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders.

 

(m)Provisions

 

Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

 

F-32

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(m)Provisions (Cont’d)

 

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

 

(n)Employee benefits

 

(i)Short-term employee benefits

 

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the reporting period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short-term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick and medical leave are recognised when the absences occur.

 

(ii)Defined contribution plans

 

As required by law, companies in Malaysia contribute to the state pension scheme, the Employee Provident Fund (“EPF”). Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.

 

(o)Borrowing costs

 

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Group incurred in connection with the borrowing of funds.

 

F-33

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(p)Revenue and other income

 

(i)Revenue from contracts with customers

 

Revenue is recognised when the Group satisfied a performance obligation (“PO”) by transferring a promised good or service to the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service. A PO may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount allocated to the satisfied PO.

 

The transaction price is allocated to each distinct PO based on its stand-alone selling price at contract inception. Where directly observable, the contractually stated price is treated as the stand-alone selling price under the Group’s commercial partner arrangements, as it reflects market-based prices and margins.

 

Where no directly observable stand-alone selling price exists, the Group estimates it using methods such as the adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost-plus-margin approach, or, in limited cases, the residual approach. These methods are applied consistently and reassessed periodically to ensure they reflect current market conditions.

 

The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:

 

(a)Sale of goods

 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discount and volume rebates. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods.

 

(b)Rendering of services

 

Revenue is recognised in the reporting period in which the services are rendered, which simultaneously received and consumed the benefits provided by the Group’s performance, and the Group has a present right to payment for the services.

 

(ii)Interest income

 

Interest income is recognised on accruals basis using the effective interest method.

 

F-34

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(q)Income taxes

 

Tax expense in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

 

Current tax is expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the financial year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.

 

Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method for all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the combined statements of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction which is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

 

The measurement of deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

 

A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

 

F-35

 

 

3.Material Accounting Policies (Cont’d)

 

(r)Fair value measurement

 

Fair value of an asset or a liability is determined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer of the liability takes place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

 

For non-financial asset, the fair value measurement takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

 

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the input used in the valuation technique as follows:

 

Level 1 :

quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 :

inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 : unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfers.

(b)Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

The Group’s financial risk management policy is to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s operations whilst managing its credit, liquidity, foreign currency and interest rate risks. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions

 

The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s exposure to the above-mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

 

(i)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its trade and other receivables and deposits with banks and financial institutions. There are no significant changes as compared to prior year.

 

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Management has a credit policy in place to control credit risk by dealing with creditworthy counterparties and deposits with banks with good credit rating. The exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis and action will be taken for long outstanding debts.

 

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether any of the receivables and contract assets are credit impaired.

 

The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partial or full) when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. Nevertheless, trade receivables that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.

 

The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the combined statements of financial position at the end of the reporting period represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(i)Credit risk (Cont’d)

 

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk except as disclosed in Note 9.

 

(ii)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.

 

The Group’s funding requirements and liquidity risk are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Group finances its liquidity through internally generated cash flows and minimises liquidity risk by keeping committed credit lines available.

(b)Interest rate risk

 

The Group’s borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates.

 

The Group manages its interest rate risk exposure from interest bearing borrowings by obtaining financing with the most favourable interest rates in the market. The Group constantly monitors its interest rate risk by reviewing its debts portfolio to ensure favourable rates are obtained. The Group does not utilise interest swap contracts or other derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

The interest rate profile of the Group’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period was:

 

   2024   2023 
   USD   USD 
         
Fixed rate instruments:          
Financial liabilities          
Lease liabilities   149,589    226,289 
Term loan   24,664    - 
    174,253    226,289 
           
Floating rate instruments:          
Financial liabilities          
Lease liabilities   11,583    32,978 

  

(c)Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts of short-term receivables and payables, cash and cash equivalents and short-term loans and borrowings approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.

 

As the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are not carried at fair value by any valuation method, therefore the fair value hierarchy analysis is not presented.

 

F-72

 

 

30.Capital Management

 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

 

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is the net debt divided by total equity. The Group includes within net debt, lease liabilities and term loan less cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s policy are to maintain a prudent level of gearing ratio that complies with debt covenants and regulatory requirements. The gearing ratios at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

Result of Review of Interim Financial Information

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gigabit Inc. (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as “the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025 and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

This interim financial information has been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and our review was performed in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), specifically PCAOB Auditing Standard (AS) 4105 - Reviews of Interim Financial Information.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial information referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the combined statements of financial position of the Company and its combining entities as of 31 December 2024, and the related combined statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined statements of cash flows for the financial year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated 18 June 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those combined financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying combined statements of financial position as of 31 December 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the combined statements of financial position from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

(b)Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

The Group’s financial risk management policy is to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s operations whilst managing its credit, liquidity, foreign currency and interest rate risks. The Group operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Board and the Group’s policy is not to engage in speculative transactions.

 

The following sections provide details regarding the Group’s exposure to the above-mentioned financial risks and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.

 

(i)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its trade and other receivables and deposits with banks and financial institutions. There are no significant changes as compared to prior year.

 

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Management has a credit policy in place to control credit risk by dealing with creditworthy counterparties and deposits with banks with good credit rating. The exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis and action will be taken for long outstanding debts.

 

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether any of the receivables and contract assets are credit impaired.

 

The gross carrying amounts of credit impaired trade receivables are written off (either partial or full) when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. Nevertheless, trade receivables that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities.

 

The carrying amounts of the financial assets recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position at the end of the reporting period represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

 

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk except as disclosed in Note 6.

(b)Financial risk management objectives and policies (Cont’d)

 

(ii)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities.

 

The Group’s funding requirements and liquidity risk are managed with the objective of meeting business obligations on a timely basis. The Group finances its liquidity through internally generated cash flows and minimises liquidity risk by keeping committed credit lines available.

(iii)Market risks

 

(a)Foreign currency risk

 

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group. The currency giving rise to this risk are primarily Ringgit Malaysia (RM), United States Dollar (USD), New Taiwan Dollar (NTD), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Singapore Dollar (SGD), Japanese Yen (JPY), Australian Dollar (AUD) and British Pound Sterling (GBP).

 

The Group has not entered into any derivative instruments for hedging or trading purposes as the net exposure to foreign currency risk is not significant. Where possible, the Group will apply natural hedging by selling and purchasing in the same currency. However, the exposure to foreign currency risk is monitored from time to time by management.

(b)Financial risk management objectives and policies (Cont’d)

 

(iii)Market risks (Cont’d)

 

(b)Interest rate risk

 

The Group’s borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates.

 

The Group manages its interest rate risk exposure from interest bearing borrowings by obtaining financing with the most favourable interest rates in the market. The Group constantly monitors its interest rate risk by reviewing its debts portfolio to ensure favourable rates are obtained. The Group does not utilise interest swap contracts or other derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

The interest rate profile of the Group’s significant interest-bearing financial instruments, based on carrying amounts at the end of the reporting period was:

 

   Unaudited   Audited 
   30.6.2025   31.12.2024 
   USD   USD 
         
Fixed rate instruments:           
Financial liabilities           
Lease liabilities    81,710    149,589 
Term loan    26,204    24,664 
    107,914    174,253 
           
Floating rate instruments:          
Financial liabilities           
Lease liabilities    -    11,583 

 

(c)Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying amounts of short-term receivables and payables, cash and cash equivalents and short-term loans and borrowings approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments and insignificant impact of discounting.

 

As the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are not carried at fair value by any valuation method, therefore the fair value hierarchy analysis is not presented.

27.Capital Management

 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

 

The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is the net debt divided by total equity. The Group includes within net debt, lease liabilities and term loan less cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s policy are to maintain a prudent level of gearing ratio that complies with debt covenants and regulatory requirements. The gearing ratios at the end of the reporting period are as follows:

 

   Unaudited   Audited 
   30.6.2025   31.12.2024 
   USD   USD 
         
Lease liabilities    81,710    161,172 
Term loan    26,204    24,664 
    107,914    185,836 
Less: Cash and cash equivalents    (4,621,902)   (4,412,088)
Excess fund    (4,513,988)   (4,226,252)
           
Total equity    4,644,104    4,219,057 
           
Gearing ratio (times)    *    * 

 

  * The gearing ratio of the Group at the end of the reporting period is not applicable as its cash and cash equivalent is sufficient to cover the entire obligation.

 

There were no changes in the Group’s approach to capital management during the financial period.

28.Significant Events

 

During the financial year, the following significant events took place for the Company:

 

(a)On 19 May 2025, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Mr. Teoh Paik Yau to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit HK at a consideration of USD53.999 settled by issuance and allotment of 539,999 ordinary shares of Gigabit Inc at an issue price of USD0.0001 per share. The acquisition of Gigabit HK was completed on 19 May 2025 and consequently, Gigabit HK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

(b)On 19 May 2025, the Company entered into a share sale agreement with Mr. Teoh Paik Loon and Mr. Teoh Paik Yau to purchase the entire share capital in Gigabit MY at a consideration of RM9,907,444 settled by issuance and allotment of 460,000 ordinary shares of Gigabit Inc at an issue price of USD0.0001 per share. The acquisition of Gigabit MY was completed on 29 May 2025 and consequently, Gigabit MY became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The acquisitions of Gigabit MY and Gigabit HK have been accounted for as common control transactions using an approach similar to the pooling of interests method, as the combining entities were under common control of the same ultimate shareholders before and after the acquisitions.

 

Accordingly, the audited combined financial statements for the financial years ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared comprise of the financial statements of the combining entities which were under common control as if the current group structure had been in place since the beginning of the earliest period presented. The results and financial position of the combining entities have been aggregated from the date they first came under the control of the controlling party.

The date of this prospectus is [*], 2025.

 

Until and including [___], 2025 (twenty-five (25) days after the date of this prospectus), all dealers that buy, sell or trade our Ordinary Shares, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Exculpation, Insurance, and Indemnification of Office Holders (Including Directors and Officers).

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to the public interest, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our articles of association provide that each officer or director of the registrant shall be indemnified out of the assets of the registrant from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them, shall or may incur or sustain by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, in their respective offices or trust unless such actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to 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 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

During the past three years, we have issued the following securities (including options to acquire our Ordinary Shares) without registering the securities under the Securities Act. We believe that each of the following issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering, or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions. No underwriters were involved in these issuances of ordinary shares.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

  (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
     
  (b) 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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

  (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
