 The implementation of the Reverse Share Split will directly affect the listing of our Class
A ordinary shares on Nasdaq, and we believe that the Reverse Share Split could potentially increase our share price, facilitating compliance
with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Rule. Following the Reverse Share Split, we intend for our Class A ordinary shares to continue to be
listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “COOT”, subject to our ability to continue to comply with Nasdaq rules, although our Class
A ordinary shares would have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures (“CUSIP”) number, a number used
to identify our Class A ordinary shares.

“Public Company” Status. Our Class A ordinary shares is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the
“public company” periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed Reverse Share Split will not
affect our status as a public company or this registration under the Exchange Act. The Reverse Share Split is not intended to have the
effect of a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects. If shareholders approve the Reverse Share Split and the Board implements the Reverse Share Split, the Reverse Share Split
could have anti-takeover effects because it would result in a proportional increase in the number of authorized shares of capital share
relative to the number of shares of capital share outstanding after effecting the Reverse Share Split. A relative increase in the number
of our authorized shares of capital share could enable the Board to render more difficult or discourage an attempt by a party attempting
to obtain control of the Company by tender offer or other means.

The issuance of capital share
in a public or private sale, merger or similar transaction would increase the number of issued Class A ordinary shares entitled to vote,
increase the number of votes required to approve a change of control of the Company, and dilute the interest of a party attempting to
obtain control of the Company. Any such issuance could deprive shareholders of benefits that could result from an attempt to obtain control
of the Company, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that the attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of capital
share to persons friendly to the Board could make it more difficult to remove incumbent officers and directors from office even if the
change were favorable to shareholders generally. However, this anti-takeover effect is not the purpose or intent of our Board. We have
no present intent
