This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

#### Who can vote at this Meeting?
Shareholders who owned shares of common stock of the Company on October 24, 2022 (the "***Record Date***") may attend and vote at the Meeting. There were 34,991,886 shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of common stock shall have one vote per share. Information about the ownership of our directors, executive officers and significant shareholders is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" beginning on page 33 of this proxy statement.

#### What is the proxy card?
The card enables you to appoint Kuangtao Wang, the Company's chief executive officer and Jianguang Qian, the Company's chief financial officer as your representatives at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing these persons to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, it is strongly recommended to complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### How does the Board recommend that I vote?
Our Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" each of the Director Nominees listed in proposal No. 1 and "FOR" each of proposals No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6 and No. 7.

#### What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Certain of our shareholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

*Shareholders of Record/Registered Shareholders*

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, you are a "shareholder of record" who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

*Beneficial Owner*

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held "in street name," and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

#### How do I vote?
If you were a shareholder of record of the Company's shares of common stock on the Record Date, you may vote electronically at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy. Each ordinary share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote, in each case, on the applicable proposals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) **You may submit your proxy by mail.** You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to the Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• as you instruct, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR each nominee for director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the appointment of Assentsure as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the approval of the Disposition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the approval of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Redomicile; and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FOR the approval of the Reclassification; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• According to the best judgment of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) **You may vote online at proxyvote.com.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) **You may vote by telephone at 1**-800-690-6903**.**

#### If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?
Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card. Then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

#### May I change my mind after I return my proxy?
Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at this Meeting. You may do this by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's executive offices stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Secretary before the polls close at this Meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• attending the Meeting and voting electronically.

#### What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

#### What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?
Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the shareholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each director and proposal presented to the shareholders.

#### Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?
If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote at the Meeting.

#### What vote is required to elect the Director Nominees as directors of the Company?
The election of each nominee for director requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock voted at the Meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors at the Meeting.

**How many votes are required to ratify the appointment of Assentsure as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022?**

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Assentsure as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote.

#### QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RELATING TO THE MERGER

#### What is the merger?
Under the Merger Agreement, NFT Limited will merge with and into the Company, with the NFT Limited surviving the merger. Upon consummation of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive one Class A ordinary share in the capital of NFT Limited, which shares will be issued by NFT Limited in connection with the merger. Following the merger, NFT Limited will own and continue to conduct our business in substantially the same manner as it is currently being conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries. NFT Limited will also be managed by the same Board and executive officers that manage the Company today.

#### Why does the Company want to engage in the merger?
The merger is part of a reorganization of the Company's corporate structure approved by our Board that we expect will, among other things, result in a reduction in legal and accounting costs over the long term and provide us with flexibility to take certain corporate actions in a more efficient manner. Please see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement — Background and Reasons for the Merger." However, there can be no assurance that following the merger we will be able to realize these expected benefits for the reasons discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — The expected benefits of the merger may not be realized." We also have incurred and will continue to incur transaction costs (the significant majority of which will have been incurred and expensed prior to your vote on the proposal). Please see the section entitled "Summary Pro Forma Financial Information" for a description of these transaction costs.

#### Will the merger affect current or future operations?
The merger is not expected to have a material impact on how we conduct day-to-day operations. While the new corporate structure would not change our future operational plans to grow our business, including our focus on our U.S. business, it may improve our ability to expand internationally. The location of future operations will depend on the needs of the business, which will be determined without regard to NFT Limited's jurisdiction of incorporation. Please see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement — Background and Reasons for the Merger."

#### Is the merger taxable to me?
U.S. holders will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon receipt of NFT Limited ordinary shares in exchange for the Company common stock. The aggregate tax basis in the ordinary shares of NFT Limited received in the merger will equal each such U.S. holder's aggregate tax basis in the Company common stock surrendered. A U.S. holder's holding period for the ordinary shares of NFT Limited that are received in the merger generally should include such U.S. holder's holding period for the common stock of the Company surrendered. Please see the section entitled "Taxation — Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to the Merger and the Ownership and Disposition of NFT Limited Ordinary Shares."

THE TAX TREATMENT OF THE MERGER UNDER STATE LAW WILL DEPEND ON THE STATE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MERGER MAY BE TAXABLE UNDER THE TAX LAW OF SOME STATES, INCLUDING, FOR EXAMPLE, CALIFORNIA. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR PRIOR TO THE ANNUAL MEETING REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO YOU.

#### Has the U.S. Internal Revenue Service rendered a ruling on any aspects of the merger?
No ruling has been requested from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in connection with the merger.

#### When do you expect to complete the merger?
If the adoption of the Merger Agreement is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, we anticipate that the merger will become effective at 4:30 pm EST on December 30, 2022 or such other time that the parties to the Merger Agreement shall have agreed upon (the "Effective Time"), not exceeding 90 days from the date the Merger Agreement is filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, and designated in a certificate of ownership and merger (the "**Certificate of Merger**") to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the filing of

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, although the merger may be abandoned by our Board prior to its completion. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Our Board of Directors may choose to defer or abandon the merger."

#### What types of information and reports will NFT Limited make available to shareholders following the merger?
Following completion of the merger, NFT Limited is expected to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" under the rules and regulations of the SEC. NFT Limited will remain subject to the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and, as long as the NFT Limited's Class A ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE American, the governance and disclosure rules of that stock exchange. However, as a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that would otherwise apply if NFT Limited were a company incorporated in the United States or did not meet the other conditions to qualify as a foreign private issuer. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited may include in its SEC filings financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, or with the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently or as promptly, as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. For example, NFT Limited will not be required to file current reports on Form 8-K within four business days from the occurrence of specific material events. Instead, NFT Limited will need to promptly furnish reports on Form 6-K any information that NFT Limited (a) makes or is required to make public under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (b) files or is required to file under the rules of any stock exchange or (iii) otherwise distributes or is required to distribute to its shareholders. Unlike Form 8-K, there is no precise deadline by which Form 6-K must be furnished. In addition, NFT Limited will not be required to file its annual report on Form 10-K, which may be due as soon as 60 days after its fiscal year end. As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months after its fiscal year end;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to conduct advisory votes on executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will be exempt from filing quarterly reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be subject to the requirement to comply with Regulation Fair Disclosure, or Regulation FD, which imposes certain restrictions on the selected disclosure of material information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any "short-swing" trading transaction.

NFT Limited expects to take advantage of these exemptions if the merger is effected. Accordingly, after the completion of the merger, if you hold NFT Limited securities, you may receive less information about NFT Limited and its business than you currently receive with respect to the Company and be afforded less protection under the U.S. federal securities laws than you are entitled to currently. However, consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our stockholders, on executive compensation matters, NFT Limited intends to provide disclosure relating to its executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices and conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation once every three (3) years after the merger is effected. However, NFT Limited expects to review this practice after the next such advisory vote and may at that time or in the future determine to conduct such advisory votes more frequently or to not conduct them at all.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

If NFT Limited loses its status as a foreign private issuer at some future time, then it will no longer be exempt from such rules and, among other things, will be required to file periodic reports and financial statements as if it were a company incorporated in the United States. The costs incurred in fulfilling these additional regulatory requirements could be substantial. Please see the sections entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — The expected benefits of the merger and reorganization may not be realized" and "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — If NFT Limited fails to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon completion of the merger, or loses its status as a foreign private issuer at some future time, NFT Limited would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers and would incur significant operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer."

#### Do I have to take any action to exchange my common stock and receive NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares?
The Company common stock registered in your name or which you beneficially own through your broker will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of NFT Limited ordinary shares and such shares will be registered in your name (or your broker's name, as applicable) in NFT Limited's register of members upon completion of the merger, without any further action on your part. Upon completion of the merger, only registered shareholders reflected in NFT Limited's register of members will have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to and to receive any dividend and other distributions upon NFT Limited ordinary shares registered in their respective names. Any attempted transfer of the Company stock prior to the merger that is not properly documented and reflected in the stock records maintained by the Company's transfer agent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will not be reflected in NFT Limited's register of members upon completion of the merger. Registered holders of NFT Limited's ordinary shares seeking to transfer NFT Limited ordinary shares following the merger will be required to provide authorizing resolutions and customary transfer documents required by NFT Limited's transfer agent to complete the transfer.

If you hold the Company's common stock in uncertificated book-entry form (for example, if you hold your shares through a broker), at the time the merger becomes effective in the State of Delaware, or the Effective Time, the Company common stock registered in your name or which you beneficially own through your broker will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares and such shares will be registered in your name (or your broker's name, as applicable) in book-entry form without any action on your part.

If you hold the Company's common stock in certificated form, you may exchange your stock certificates for new NFT Limited share certificates promptly following the merger. We will request that all the Company stock certificates be returned to NFT Limited's transfer agent following the merger. Soon after the closing of the merger, you will be sent a letter of transmittal from our exchange agent. It is expected that, prior to the Effective Time, VStock Transfer, LLC will be appointed as our exchange agent for the merger. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions explaining the procedure for surrendering your stock certificates for new NFT Limited share certificates. YOU SHOULD NOT RETURN STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD.

The Company's current transfer agent is VStock Transfer, LLC, which will continue to serve as the transfer agent for NFT Limited ordinary shares after the Effective Time.

#### What happens to the Company stock options at the Effective Time of the merger?
At the Effective Time, all outstanding and unexercised portions of each option, warrant and security exercisable or convertible by its terms into the common stock of the Company (including convertible promissory notes), whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a "Company Stock Option") shall be assumed by NFT Limited and shall be deemed to constitute an option, warrant or convertible security, as the case may be, to acquire the same number of ordinary shares of NFT Limited as the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive had such holder exercised or converted such Company Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (not taking into account whether such Company Stock Option was in fact exercisable or convertible at such time), at the same exercise price per share, and shall, to the extent permitted by law and otherwise reasonably practicable, have the same term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status and all other material terms and conditions; and NFT Limited shall take all steps to ensure that a sufficient number of ordinary shares is reserved for the exercise of such Company Stock Options. Please see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement — Stock Compensation and Benefit Plans and Programs" for more information.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Can I trade my Company common stock before the merger is completed?
Yes. the Company common stock will continue trading on NYSE American through the last trading day prior to the date of completion of the merger, which date of completion is expected to be December 30, 2022.

#### After the merger, where can I trade my NFT Limited ordinary shares?
We expect that as of the Effective Time, the NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares will be authorized for listing on NYSE American, and we expect such shares will be traded on the exchange under the symbol "MI"

**How will my rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited change after the merger relative to my rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the merger?**

Because of differences between Delaware law and Cayman Islands law and differences between the governing documents of the Company and NFT Limited, we are unable to adopt governing documents for NFT Limited that are identical to the governing documents for the Company, but we have attempted to preserve in the memorandum and articles of association of NFT Limited the same allocation of material rights and powers between the shareholders and our Board that exists under the Company's bylaws and certificate of incorporation. For example, under the Company's bylaws, a director must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the nominee who polls more votes than any other candidate is elected. This provision is preserved in the articles of association of NFT Limited.

Nevertheless, NFT Limited's proposed memorandum and articles of association differ from the Company's bylaws and certificate of incorporation, both in form and substance, and your rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited will change relative to your rights as a stockholder of the Company as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Please see the sections entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Your rights as a stockholder of the Company will change as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changes above may not change your rights as a shareholder significantly in practice because the Company has a concentrated ownership structure with a stockholder holding more than five percent (5%) of the Company's common stock. For further details on the security ownership of certain beneficial owners of the Company, please see the section entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."

Additionally, as a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands laws in lieu of certain NYSE American corporate governance standards. However, we do not intend to initially rely on any NYSE American exemptions or accommodations for foreign private issuers following the merger. Please see the sections entitled "Proposal 4 Approval of the Adoption of the Merger Agreement — The Merger Agreement — Background and Reasons for the Merger."

#### What is the proposed Reclassification?
We are proposing that our shareholders adopt the M&A of NFT Limited pursuant to which NFT Limited will be authorized to issue 450,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.0001 each, 50,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.0001 each. In connection with the Merger, NFT Limited will issue Class A Ordinary Shares to all the holders of the Company's common stock on a one-on-one ratio.

#### What will I receive in the Reclassification?
If the Reclassification is adopted, all your outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares of NFT Limited, which shares will be issued by NFT Limited as part of the merger. You will receive no other consideration for your shares of Company's common stock when they are reclassified;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### What are the differences between the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares?
If the M&A is approved and adopted, each Class A Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share will be entitled twenty votes.

#### When is the Reclassification expected to be completed?
If the Reclassification is approved, we expect to complete it as soon as practicable following the Annual Meeting.

#### What if the Reclassification is not approved or is not later implemented?
It is possible that the Reclassification will not be completed. The Reclassification will not be completed if, for example, the holders of a majority of our common stock do not vote to approve and adopt the M&A. If the Reclassification is not completed, we will only issue ordinary shares to all the holders of the Company's common stock on a one-on-one ratio.

#### Will I have appraisal rights in connection with the Reclassification?
Under Cayman Islands law and the proposed M&A, you do not have appraisal or dissenter's rights in connection with the Reclassification. However, other rights or actions besides appraisal and dissenter's rights may exist under federal securities laws for shareholders who can demonstrate that they have been damaged by the Reclassification.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION

#### Why am I being asked to vote on the Disposition?
We have entered into an securities purchase agreement, dated as of November 2, 2022, as amended, with Fecundity Capital Investment Co., Ltd, or the Purchaser, and Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ, pursuant to which we will sell of all of our equity interests in Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ, our wholly owned subsidiaries, to the Purchaser. We refer to the securities purchase agreement, as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, as the disposition agreement.

#### What are the reasons for the Disposition?
Hong Kong Takung was incorporated in Hong Kong and was formed to operate an electronic online platform for offering and trading artwork. Hong Kong Takung currently has no other operation other than the business previously conducted via its wholly owned subsidiary, Takung Cultural Development (Tianjin) Co., Ltd ("Tianjin Takung"), which provided technology development services to Hong Kong Takung and also carried out marketing and promotion activities in mainland China. However, due to the increasing regulatory scrutiny by PRC governments on digital asset related business, the artwork unit trading platform operated by the PRC subsidiary Tianjin Takung was suspended by the local authority in the fourth quarter of 2021. Hong Kong Takung lost its control over Tianjin Takung. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was classified as a discontinued operation and as of December 31, 2021, the operation Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was presented in discontinued operations.

Hong Kong MQ is engaged in blockchain and non-fungible tokens ("NFT") businesses, including consultancy service for NFT launch projects, developing its own NFT marketplace to facilitate users to buy and sell NFTs, as well as development of block chain-based online games. As of December 31, 2021, Hong Kong MQ had no operations. As of June 30, 2022, Hong Kong MQ has not generated revenue.

The Board decides that it is in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company to dispose of Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ for a purchase price of US$1,500,000.

#### What are the financial terms of the disposition?
Pursuant to the disposition agreement, as amended, the Purchaser will acquire 100% of the equity interests in Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ, respectively for a purchase price of US$1,500,000.

#### Will the Company's business change upon completion of the disposition?
Following completion of the disposition, the Company will not only be engaged in an electronic online platform for offering and trading artwork. The Company's new business services include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Consulting services such as artwork valuation/appreciation potential: the Company taps into the needs of users to provide comprehensive consulting services such as labor cost, artist influence, artistic value of works, and channels for obtaining works;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) NFT trading service: the Company has built a fully functional NFT trading platform. The platform carries the categories of digital works including artwork, music videos, collectibles, game props, sports, metaverse, virtual world, social tokens, and meet the needs of various users as much as possible. Users are able to complete the whole business process including user registration, certification, work uploading, work casting, and work trading through the platform. The platform was launched and placed in service in May 2022. In the transaction process, it not only meets the needs of customers for uploading and purchasing digital works, but the company also extracts a portion of the handling fee (including token minting, first sale, and second sale) to create value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Advertising service: Once the NFT platform has accumulated a larger user base, it can provide advertising and publicity services for users or the company itself. The business model is not limited to categories and industries, such as investment promotion, work promotion, and industry promotion.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### What will happen if the Merger and the Disposition are not completed?
If the merger and the disposition are not approved by the shareholders or if the merger and the disposition are not completed for any other reason, the Company will remain a public company, and our common stock will continue to be listed and traded on NYSE (assuming the Company meets all of NYSE's continued listing standards). In addition, our management expects that the business will be operated as how it is currently being operated until we pursue another strategic alternative, and that our shareholders will continue to be subject to the same risks and opportunities to which they are currently subject.

Furthermore, if the merger and the disposition are not completed, and depending on the circumstances that would have caused the merger and the disposition not to be completed, the price of our common stock may decline. If that were to occur, it is uncertain when, if ever, the price of our common stock would return to the price at which it trades as of the date of this proxy statement. Accordingly, if the merger and the disposition are not completed, there can be no assurance as to the effect of these risks and opportunities on the future value of your common stock. If the merger and the disposition are not completed, the board will continue to evaluate and review the Company's business operations, properties, dividend policy and capitalization, among other things, make such changes as deemed appropriate and continue to seek to identify strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value.

#### Is completion of the disposition subject to any conditions?
Yes. The parties are not required to complete the deposition unless a number of conditions are satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived). These conditions include the shareholders' approval of the disposition, and the satisfaction (or waiver, to the extent permitted by applicable law) of the other conditions that must be satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived) prior to completion of the disposition. For a complete summary of the conditions that must be satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived) prior to completion of the disposition, see "The Disposition Agreement — Conditions to Completion of the Disposition."

#### When do you expect to complete the disposition?
As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we expect to complete the disposition in 2022, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described elsewhere in this proxy statement. However, no assurance can be given as to when, or if, the disposition will be completed.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### SUMMARY OF THE MERGER
This summary highlights selected information regarding the merger from this Proxy Statement and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete description of the merger, you should read carefully this entire Proxy Statement, including the Appendix. Please also see the section entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information." The Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement, contains the terms and conditions of the merger. The memorandum and articles of association of NFT Limited will serve purposes substantially similar to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company. Copies of the memorandum and articles of association of NFT Limited that will become effective upon consummation of the merger are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B.

#### The Parties to the Merger
The Company is a holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Thought our subsidiaries, we currently operate an electronic online platform located at *https://www.nftoeo.com/* for artists, art dealers and art investors to offer and trade in ownership over valuable artwork in the form of non-fungible token or NFT. In addition, we also provide NFT consulting with respect to the strategic utilization of blockchain technology and NFT launch. Given our goal to create multiple potential revenue streams and continue to diverse the business model, we are also exploring NYF gaming business including sales of in-game characters NFTs and sales of membership packs.

NFT Limited is a newly formed exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. An "exempted" company under the laws of the Cayman Islands is one which receives such registration as a result of satisfying the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands that it conducts its operations mainly outside of the Cayman Islands and is as a result exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, such as the general requirement to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies, and is permitted flexibility in certain matters, such as the ability to register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands. NFT Limited does not have a significant amount of assets or liabilities and has not engaged in any business since its formation other than activities associated with its anticipated participation in the merger. Following the merger, NFT Limited, together with its subsidiaries, will own and continue to conduct our business in substantially the same manner as is currently being conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries.

The principal executive offices of both of the Company and NFT Limited are located at Office Q 11<sup>th</sup> Floor, Kings Wing Plaza 2, No. 1 Kwan Street, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong, and the telephone number of each company is +8613020144962.

#### The Merger
Under the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into NFT Limited. Upon completion of the merger, NFT Limited will own and continue to conduct the business that the Company and its subsidiaries currently conduct, in substantially the same manner. As a result of the merger, our stockholders will own Class A ordinary shares of NFT Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, rather than common stock in the Company, a Delaware corporation. As a result of the merger, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock will be converted into the right to receive the same number of Class A ordinary shares of NFT Limited, which shares will be issued by NFT Limited in connection with the merger. Our Board of Directors reserves the right to defer or abandon the merger. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Our Board of Directors may choose to defer or abandon the merger."

#### Background and Reasons for the Merger
In reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and the merger, our Board of Directors identified several potential benefits to our stockholders, which are described below under "The Merger Agreement — Background and Reasons for the Merger." The merger is part of a reorganization of the Company's corporate structure that we expect will, among other things, result in a reduction in operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs over the long term. Please also see the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization" below for a description of certain risks associated with the merger and reorganization.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

*Conditions to Completion of the Merger*

The following conditions must be satisfied or waived, if allowed by law, to complete the merger and reorganization:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. the Merger Agreement has been adopted by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. none of the parties to the Merger Agreement is subject to any decree, order or injunction that prohibits the consummation of the merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. the registration statement of which this Proxy Statement is a part has been declared effective by the SEC and no stop order is in effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. the NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares to be issued pursuant to the merger have been authorized for listing on NYSE American, subject to official notice of issuance and satisfaction of other standard conditions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. all material consents and authorizations of, filings or registrations with, and notices to, any governmental or regulatory authority required of the Company, NFT Limited or their subsidiaries to consummate the merger have been obtained or made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. the representations and warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and the covenants of the parties set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than those to be performed after the Effective Time) have been performed in all material respects.

Our Board of Directors currently does not anticipate any circumstances in which it would waive the conditions listed above; however, in the event it determines that a waiver of any such conditions is in the best interests of our stockholders and that such change to the terms of the merger and/or the Merger Agreement do not make the disclosure provided to our stockholders materially misleading (for example, if a representation in the Merger Agreement is not true but there is otherwise no harm to the Company or our stockholders), our Board of Directors will not resolicit shareholder approval of the merger and/or the Merger Agreement. If a waiver of any condition listed above would make the disclosure provided to our stockholders materially misleading, our Board of Directors will resolicit shareholder approval of the merger and/or the Merger Agreement. Additionally, our Board of Directors reserves the right to defer or abandon the merger as well for the reasons described under "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward- Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Our Board of Directors may choose to defer or abandon the merger."

*Regulatory Approvals*

The only governmental or regulatory approvals or actions that are required to complete the merger in respect of the Company are compliance with U.S. federal and state securities laws, the NYSE American rules and regulations and Delaware corporate laws.

*Rights of Dissenting Stockholders*

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law ("**DGCL**"), or the NRS, you will not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger.

*Accounting Treatment of the Merger*

The merger is a legal reorganization with no change in ultimate ownership interest immediately before and after the transaction. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities will be recorded at historical cost, in a manner similar to an exchange between entities under common control. The transaction costs incurred in connection with the merger and re-domicile have been or will be reflected in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period incurred.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Tax Considerations

#### United States Tax Consequences of the Merger to the Company and NFT Limited
We expect that neither the Company nor NFT Limited will incur U.S. income tax as a result of completion of the merger.

*United States Taxation of the Company's Stockholders*

*Taxation of U.S. Holders*. The merger should be characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as either a tax-free merger or a transaction qualifying under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code. In either case, U.S. holders will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon receipt of NFT Limited ordinary shares in exchange for the Company's common stock. The aggregate tax basis in the ordinary shares of NFT Limited received in the merger will equal each such U.S. holder's aggregate tax basis in the Company's common stock surrendered. A U.S. holder's holding period for the ordinary shares of NFT Limited that are received in the merger generally should include such U.S. holder's holding period for the common stock of the Company surrendered.

*Taxation of Non*-U*.S. Holders*. The holders of the Company's common stock who are treated as foreign persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including holders who hold directly and constructively more than 5% of the outstanding the Company common stock, will not recognize taxable gain or loss on their the Company common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Please see the section entitled "Taxation" for further information regarding material tax consequences relating to the merger and the ownership and disposition of NFT Limited Ordinary Shares.

#### Other Information
*Ownership in NFT Limited*

The Company's common stock registered in your name or which you beneficially own through your broker will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares and such shares will be registered in your name (or your broker's name, as applicable) in NFT Limited's register of members upon completion of the merger, without any further action on your part. Upon completion of the merger, only registered shareholders reflected in NFT Limited's register of members will have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to and to receive any dividend and other distributions upon NFT Limited ordinary shares registered in their respective names. Any attempted transfer of the Company's stock prior to the merger that is not properly documented and reflected in the stock records maintained by the Company's transfer agent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will not be reflected in NFT Limited's register of members upon completion of the merger. Registered holders of NFT Limited's Class A ordinary shares seeking to transfer NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares following the merger will be required to provide authorizing resolutions and customary transfer documents required by NFT Limited's transfer agent to complete the transfer.

If you hold the Company's common stock in uncertificated book-entry form (for example, if you hold your shares through a broker), at the Effective Time, the Company's common stock registered in your name or which you beneficially own through your broker will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares and such shares will be registered in your name (or your broker's name, as applicable) in book-entry form without any action on your part.

If you hold the Company's common stock in certificated form, you may exchange your stock certificates for new NFT Limited share certificates promptly following the merger. We will request that all the Company's stock certificates be returned to the Company's transfer agent following the merger. Soon after the closing of the merger, you will be sent a letter of transmittal from our transfer agent. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions explaining the procedure for surrendering your stock certificates for new NFT Limited share certificates. YOU SHOULD NOT RETURN STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

*Comparison of Rights of Stockholders/Shareholders*

The principal attributes of the Company's common stock and NFT Limited's Class A ordinary shares will be similar. However, there are differences between the rights of stockholders under the DGCL and the rights of shareholders under Cayman Islands law. In addition, there are differences between the provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws and NFT Limited's memorandum and articles of association, as explained further below in this Proxy Statement. Please see the sections entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Your rights as a stockholder of the Company will change as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws".

*Stock Exchange Listing*

It is a condition to the completion of the merger that the ordinary shares of NFT Limited will be authorized for listing on NYSE American, subject to official notice of issuance and satisfaction of other standard conditions. As such, we expect that as of the Effective Time, the NFT Limited ordinary shares will be authorized for listing on NYSE American under the symbol "MI"

*Market Price*

The closing price per share of the Company common stock on NYSE American was $0.855 on November 17, 2022, the last trading date immediately preceding public announcement of the proposed merger.

*Recommendation and Required Vote*

Our Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the reorganization, to be effected by the merger, is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and, as such, has unanimously approved the merger and the Merger Agreement. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote "FOR" the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

*Annual Meeting of Stockholders*

You can vote at the Annual Meeting if you owned the Company common stock at the close of business on October 24, 2022, the Record Date. As of October 24, 2022, there were 34,991,886 shares of the Company common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates owned, in the aggregate, approximately 150,000 of such shares, representing ownership of approximately 0.43% of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock as of that date. These shares are included in the number of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

*Risk Factors*

There are a number of risks which you should be aware of in considering whether to vote in favor of the proposal to approve the merger, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Your rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited will change relative to your rights as a stockholder of the Company as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result of different shareholder voting requirements in the Cayman Islands relative to Delaware, we may have less flexibility with respect to our ability to amend our constitutional documents and enter into certain business combinations than we now have;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will not be required to provide its shareholders with the same information as the Company would if the Company remained a U.S. public issuer and, as a result, you may not receive as much information about NFT Limited as you did about the Company and you may not be afforded the same level of protection as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The enforcement of civil liabilities against NFT Limited may be more difficult; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The expected benefits of the merger and reorganization may not be realized because the achievement of the benefits are subject to factors that we do not control, such as the reactions of third parties with whom we enter into contracts and do business and the reactions of investors and analysts.

The risks are discussed more fully in the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization" following this Proxy Statement.

#### SUMMARY PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We have attached to this prospectus/information statement the selected financial data, including our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

We have also included our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qs which were filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022 and November 21, 2022, respectively.

We have not included separate financial information for NFT Limited, as it has existed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takung Art Co., Ltd. since it was first organized on September 30, 2022.

No pro forma financial information is presented in this prospectus/information statement because there are no significant pro forma adjustments required to be made to the historical consolidated balance sheets nor consolidated statements of operations of Takung Art Co., Ltd. to give effect to the reincorporation merger. The reincorporation merger will be accounted for as a legal reorganization with no change in ultimate ownership interest immediately before and after the transaction. Please see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement — Accounting Treatment of the Merger."

Reference is made to the consolidated financial statements of the Company, including the notes to the financial statements, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement. Please refer to the section in this Proxy Statement entitled "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

#### RISK FACTORS AND CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In considering whether to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement in connection with the merger, you should consider carefully the following risks or investment considerations, in addition to the other information in this Proxy Statement. In addition, please note that this Proxy Statement contains or incorporates by reference "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the merger and reorganization and our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, including the benefits or impact described in this Proxy Statement that we expect to achieve as a result of the merger and reorganization. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "continues," "may," "intends," "plans" or similar expressions in this Proxy Statement or in the documents incorporated by reference. Any forward-looking statements in this Proxy Statement reflect only expectations that are current as of the date of this Proxy Statement or the date of any document incorporated by reference in this document, as the case may be, are not guarantees of performance, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our ability to control. Further, these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions with respect to business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results or performance may differ materially from those we express in our forward-looking statements. Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to our statements, forward-looking or otherwise, to reflect changes in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based.

Set forth below, we have identified the factors, among others, that you should consider before making a decision on whether or not to vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, and we have identified certain of the risks that could cause our actual plans or results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein. You should consider these risks when deciding how to vote. In addition, you should also review carefully the risks affecting our business generally that could also cause our actual plans or results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein.

#### Risks Relating to the Disposition
*In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement, you should carefully consider the following risk factors relating to the Disposition before you decide whether to vote for the proposals. You should also consider the other information in the proxy statement and our other reports on file with the SEC, including the annual report on Form 20*-F *for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.*

#### The Disposition may not be completed if the parties fail to obtain shareholder approval or satisfy other closing conditions, or otherwise.
There will be uncertainties in completing the Disposition, which remains subject to conditions precedent involving, among other things, approval by the shareholders of the Company.

The disposition agreement, as amended, contains customary closing conditions including: (i) the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals; (ii) the receipt of the purchase consideration; and (iii) the receipt of a fairness opinion from an independent appraisal firm to the satisfaction of the Company's board of directors.

The required satisfaction (or waiver) of any of the closing conditions could delay the completion of the Disposition for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the disposition could cause the Company not to realize some or all of the benefits that the parties expect the Company to achieve. Further, there can be no assurance that the conditions to the closing of the disposition will be satisfied or waived or that the disposition will be completed.

#### Failure to complete the merger and disposition could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or share price.
Completion of the Disposition is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including those discussed above, and other closing conditions customary for a transaction of this size and type. The required conditions to closing may not be satisfied in a timely manner, if at all. If the Disposition are not consummated for

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

these or any other reasons, we may be subject to a number of adverse effects, including: (i) the price of our common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the disposition will be completed; (ii) our operations may continue to incur loss; (iii) we may have difficulty maintaining compliance with NYSE American continued listing rules, and as a result, be delisted from the NYSE American; and (iv) costs related to the disposition, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory and printing fees, must be paid even if the disposition are not completed.

***We will be liable to the Purchasers for a breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenants or other obligation under the disposition agreement, as amended.***

The Company has made certain representations, warranties and covenants under the disposition agreement, as amended. See "Proposal No. 3: Approval of the Disposition — Terms of the Share Purchase Agreement — Representations and Warranties." If there is any breach by the Company of any such representation, warranty, covenant or other obligation under the disposition agreement, as amended, the Company may be liable, either before or after the closing of the Disposition.

***The business to be retained by us after the consummation of the Disposition may still generates losses; we may not be able to rely on the retained business to sustain our business operations.***

Immediately following the sale of Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ to the Purchaser, our business will consist of consulting services such as artwork valuation/appreciation potential, NFT trading service, and advertising service.

We intend to roll out our new NFT business in the U.S. via NFT Exchange Limited. However, given that our new NFT business is in the initial stage, we may not be successful in doing so.

For as long as we remain a public company, we will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.

Our reporting obligations as a SEC registrant will not be affected as a result of completing the Disposition. For as long as we remain as such, we have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, which includes the filing with the SEC periodic reports and other documents relating to our business, financial condition and other matters, even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.

#### Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization
***Your rights as a stockholder of The Company will change as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of The Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws.***

Because of differences between Delaware law and Cayman Islands law and differences between the governing documents of the Company and NFT Limited, we are unable to adopt governing documents for NFT Limited that are identical to the governing documents for the Company, but we have attempted to preserve in the memorandum and articles of association of NFT Limited the same allocation of material rights and powers between the shareholders and our Board of Directors that exists under the Company's bylaws and certificate of incorporation. Nevertheless, NFT Limited's proposed memorandum and articles of association differ from the Company's bylaws and certificate of incorporation, both in form and substance, and your rights as a shareholder will change. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under the DGCL, a corporation may not engage in a business in combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the time of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder. However, there is no equivalent provision under the Companies Act or NFT Limited's articles of association prohibiting business combinations with interested stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under the DGCL, any stockholder may, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, inspect the corporation's books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business. However, shareholders of a Cayman Islands company do not have any general rights to inspect corporate records of

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

a company, and NFT Limited's articles of association provide that the directors have the discretion as to whether, to what extent, when, where and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the company may be open to the inspection of shareholders who are not directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Under the DGCL, a stockholder may bring a derivative suit provided the requirements to do so under the DGCL have been met. However, for a Cayman Islands company, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company's board of directors, rather than the shareholders, and a shareholder of NFT Limited would be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of NFT Limited only in certain limited circumstances.

***The laws of the Cayman Islands may not provide NFT Limited shareholders with benefits comparable to those provided to shareholders of corporations incorporated in the United States.***

NFT Limited's corporate affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association, by the Companies Act (2022 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, or the "Companies Act", and by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against NFT Limited's directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of NFT Limited's directors to NFT Limited under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law in the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands and 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 rights of NFT Limited's shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors, although clearly established under Cayman Islands law, are not specifically prescribed in statute or a particular document in the same way that they are in certain statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions of the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws relative to the United States. Therefore, NFT Limited's shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by NFT Limited's management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States. In addition, shareholders of Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action before the federal courts of the United States. The Cayman Islands courts are also unlikely to impose liability against NFT Limited, in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, based on certain civil liabilities provisions of U.S. securities laws.

***As a result of different shareholder voting requirements in the Cayman Islands relative to Delaware, we will have less flexibility with respect to our ability to amend our constitutional documents and enter into certain business combinations than we now have.***

Under Delaware law and our current bylaws and certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and certificate of incorporation may be amended by the vote of a majority of shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter to approve the amendment, unless the certificate of incorporation requires the vote of a greater number of shares. Cayman Islands law requires a special resolution of not less than a majority of at least two-thirds of the shareholder votes cast at a general meeting for any amendment to the memorandum and articles of association of NFT Limited. As a result of this Cayman Islands law requirement, situations may arise where the flexibility we now have under Delaware law would have provided benefits to our stockholders that will not be available in the Cayman Islands.

In addition, under Cayman Islands law, certain corporate transactions, such as a merger, require the approval of a special resolution of not less than two-thirds of the shareholder votes cast at a general meeting or, if the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, and the rights attaching to any class of shares of the merged entity differ from those attaching to the shares of the other constituent company, the articles of association of NFT Limited also require a special shareholder resolution by majority in number representing 66 2/3% of the holders of the Shares entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at the meeting of the relevant class. By contrast, a merger under Delaware law would only require a simple majority of the outstanding stock of the company entitled to vote thereon. The increased shareholder approval requirements may limit our flexibility to enter into or complete certain business combinations that may be beneficial to shareholders.

#### The expected benefits of the merger and reorganization may not be realized.
We have presented in this Proxy Statement the anticipated benefits of the merger and reorganization. Please see the section entitled "The Merger Agreement — Background and Reasons for the Merger." We cannot be assured that all of the goals of the merger and reorganization will be achievable, and some or all of the anticipated benefits of

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

the merger and reorganization may not occur, particularly as the achievement of the benefits are in many important respects subject to factors that we do not control. These factors would include such things as the reactions of third parties with whom we enter into contracts and do business and the reactions of investors and analysts. In addition, the anticipated reduction of SEC reporting requirements and related expenses may not be achieved in the event of changes to the SEC rules applicable to foreign private issuers or if we fail to qualify as a foreign private issuer. While we expect the merger and reorganization will enable us to reduce our operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs over the long term, these benefits may not be achieved.

As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will not be required to provide its shareholders with the same information as the Company would if the Company remained a U.S. public issuer and, as a result, you may not receive as much information about NFT Limited as you did about the Company and you may not be afforded the same level of protection as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Following the completion of the merger, NFT Limited is expected to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" under the rules and regulations of the SEC. NFT Limited will remain subject to the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and, as long as the NFT Limited's ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE American, the governance and disclosure rules of that stock exchange. However, as a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that would otherwise apply if NFT Limited were a company incorporated in the United States or did not meet the other conditions to qualify as a foreign private issuer. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited may include in its SEC filings financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or with IFRS as issued by the IASB without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently or as promptly, as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. For example, NFT Limited will not be required to file current reports on Form 8-K within four business days from the occurrence of specific material events. Instead, NFT Limited will need to promptly furnish reports on Form 6-K any information that NFT Limited (a) makes or is required to make public under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (b) files or is required to file under the rules of any stock exchange or (c) otherwise distributes or is required to distribute to its shareholders. Unlike Form 8-K, there is no precise deadline by which Form 6-K must be furnished. In addition, NFT Limited will not be required to file its annual report on Form 10-K, which may be due as soon as 60 days after its fiscal year end. As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months after its fiscal year end;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to conduct advisory votes on executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will be exempt from filing quarterly reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be subject to the requirement to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes certain restrictions on the selected disclosure of material information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any "short-swing" trading transaction.

NFT Limited expects to take advantage of these exemptions if the merger is effected. Accordingly, after the completion of the merger, if you hold NFT Limited securities, you may receive less information about NFT Limited and its business than you currently receive with respect to the Company and be afforded less protection under the U.S. federal securities laws than you are entitled to currently. However, consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our stockholders, on executive compensation matters, NFT Limited intends to provide disclosure relating to its executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices and conduct an advisory

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

vote on executive compensation once every three years after the merger is effected. However, NFT Limited expects to review this practice after the next such advisory vote and may at that time or in the future determine to conduct such advisory votes more frequently or to not conduct them at all.

***If NFT Limited fails to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon completion of the merger, or loses its status as a foreign private issuer at some future time, NFT Limited would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers and would incur significant operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer.***

Following completion of the merger, NFT Limited is expected to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" under the rules and regulations of the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that would otherwise apply if NFT Limited were a company incorporated in the United States or did not meet the other conditions to qualify as a foreign private issuer. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will not be required to provide its shareholders with the same information as the Company would if the Company remained a U.S. public issuer and, as a result, you may not receive as much information about NFT Limited as you did about the Company and you may not be afforded the same level of protection as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws." While NFT Limited is expected to qualify as a foreign private issuer following the completion of the merger, if NFT Limited fails to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon completion of the merger, or loses its status as a foreign private issuer at some future time, NFT Limited will be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers and would incur significant operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

#### If we prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS following the merger, there may be a significant effect on our reported financial results.
The SEC permits foreign private issuers to file financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB. At any time in the future, as a foreign private issuer, we may decide to prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The application by us of different accounting standards, a change in the rules of IFRS as issued by the IASB, or in the SEC's acceptance of such rules, could have a significant effect on our reported financial results. Additionally, U.S. GAAP is subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. IFRS are subject to interpretation by the IASB. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported financial results.

***Changes in domestic and foreign laws, including tax law changes, could adversely affect NFT Limited, its subsidiaries and its shareholders, and our effective tax rate may increase whether we effect the merger or not.***

Changes in tax laws, regulations or treaties or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, in both or either of the U.S. or Cayman Islands, could adversely affect the tax consequences of the merger to NFT Limited and its shareholders and/or our effective tax rates (whether associated with the merger or otherwise). While the merger is not anticipated to have any material impact on our effective tax rate, there is uncertainty regarding the tax policies of the jurisdictions where we operate, and our effective tax rate may increase and any such increase may be material.

#### The enforcement of civil liabilities against NFT Limited may be more difficult.
After the merger, all of our executive officers and a majority of our directors will reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may be more difficult to serve legal process within the United States upon any of these persons and it may also be difficult to enforce, both in and outside of the United States, judgments you may obtain in the U.S. courts against these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Because NFT Limited is a Cayman Islands exempted company, investors could also experience more difficulty enforcing judgments obtained against NFT Limited in U.S. courts than would currently be the case for U.S. judgments obtained against the Company. In addition, it may be more difficult (or impossible) to bring some types of claims against NFT Limited in Cayman Islands courts than it would be to bring similar claims against a U.S. company in a U.S. court.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### The market for NFT Limited shares may differ from the market for the Company shares.
Although it is anticipated that the NFT Limited ordinary shares will be authorized for listing on NYSE American under the symbol "MI", as a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, shares of NFT Limited may appeal to different institutional investors, or impact the level of investment by current investors who may prefer or be required by internal guidelines to invest in companies that are incorporated in the United States. Accordingly, the reorganization may impact our institutional investor base, or the level of their respective investments in our securities, and may result in a change in the market prices, trading volume and volatility of the NFT Limited shares from those of the Company shares.

#### We expect to incur transaction costs and adverse financial consequences in the year of completion of the merger.
The substantial majority of the transaction costs in connection with the merger will be incurred regardless of whether the merger is completed and prior to your vote on the proposal. We expect to incur costs and expenses, including professional fees, to comply with the Cayman Islands corporate and other laws. In addition, we expect to incur attorneys' fees, accountants' fees, filing fees, mailing expenses, proxy solicitation fees and financial printing expenses in connection with the merger, even if the merger is not approved or completed. Please see the section entitled "Summary Pro Forma Financial Information" for more information regarding these transaction costs.

The merger also may negatively affect us by diverting attention of our management and employees from our operating business during the period of implementation and by increasing other administrative costs and expenses.

#### Our Board of Directors may choose to defer or abandon the merger.
Completion of the merger may be deferred or abandoned, at any time, by action of our Board of Directors, whether before or after the Annual Meeting. While we currently expect the merger to take place promptly after the proposal to adopt the merger agreement is approved at the Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors may defer completion either before or for a significant time after the Annual Meeting or may abandon the merger because of, among other reasons, changes in existing or proposed laws, our determination that the merger would involve tax or other risks that outweigh their benefits, our determination that the level of expected benefits associated with the merger would otherwise be reduced, a dispute with the taxation authorities over the merger (or certain aspects thereof), an unexpected increase in the cost to complete the merger or any other determination by our Board of Directors that the merger would not be in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders or that the merger would have material adverse consequences to the Company or its stockholders.

#### PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF<br>INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee has selected Assentsure PAC ("Assentsure") as the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and has further directed that management submit the selection of Assentsure for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The shareholders are being asked to ratify this appointment so that the Audit Committee will know the opinion of the shareholders. However, the Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm.

We have been advised by Assentsure that neither of the firm nor any of its respective associates had any relationship during the last fiscal year with our company other than the usual relationship that exists between independent registered public accountant firms and their clients. Representatives of Assentsure are not expected to attend the Meeting and therefore are not expected to be available to respond to any questions. As a result, representatives of Assentsure will not make a statement at the Meeting.

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of Assentsure as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Assentsure to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. However, the Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm.

#### Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm's Fees
On March 1, 2021, WWC P.C. was appointed as our independent registered public accounting firm. On May 4, 2022, Assentsure was appointed as the new independent registered public accounting firm. Simultaneously with the appointment of Assentsure, on May 4, 2022, WWC P.C. was terminated as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.

We incurred approximately $150,000 for professional services rendered by our current registered independent public accounting firm, WWC. P.C. for the audit and review of the Company in the fiscal year 2020.

All Other Fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by our independent auditors and not otherwise included in Audit Fees, Audit Related Fees or Tax Fees.

Our Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services described above is compatible with maintaining auditor independence and determined that such services are appropriate.

#### Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services performed by our auditors must be approved in advance by our Audit Committee to assure that such services do not impair the auditors' independence from us.

#### PROPOSAL NO. 3 — APPROVAL OF THE DISPOSITION

#### Description of the Proposed Disposition
Fecundity Capital Investment Co., Ltd, or the Purchaser, is a company incorporated in British Virgin Islands. Purchaser will acquire 100% of the equity interests in Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ for US$1,500,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the securities purchase agreement dated November 2, 2022 (the "**Disposition Agreement**"). On December 9, 2022, the parties to the Disposition Agreement entered into an amendment to the Disposition Agreement for the sole purpose of correcting a clerical error in the amount of the purchase price set forth in the recitals from US$1,000,000 to US$1,500,000. The Disposition Agreement is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement and is incorporated by reference herein. The amendment to the Disposition Agreement is attached as Annex F to this proxy statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

#### Reasons and Backgrounds for the Proposed Disposition
We are a holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Thought our subsidiaries, we currently operate an electronic online platform located at *https://www.nftoeo.com/* for artists, art dealers and art investors to offer and trade in ownership over valuable artwork in the form of non-fungible token or NFT. In addition, we also provide NFT consulting with respect to the strategic utilization of blockchain technology and NFT launch. Given our goal to create multiple potential revenue streams and continue to diverse the business model, we are also exploring NYF gaming business including sales of in-game characters NFTs and sales of membership packs.

We own 100% equity interest of Hong Kong MQ Group Limited ("**Hong Kong MQ**") and Hong Kong Takung Art Company Limited ("**Hong Kong Takung")**, respectively.

Hong Kong Takung was incorporated in Hong Kong and was formed to operate an electronic online platform for offering and trading artwork. Hong Kong Takung currently has no other operation other than the business previously conducted via its wholly owned subsidiary, Takung Cultural Development (Tianjin) Co., Ltd ("**Tianjin Takung**"), which provided technology development services to Hong Kong Takung and also carried out marketing and promotion activities in mainland China. However, due to the increasing regulatory scrutiny by PRC governments on digital asset related business, the artwork unit trading platform operated by the PRC subsidiary Tianjin Takung was suspended by the local authority in the fourth quarter of 2021. Hong Kong Takung lost its control over Tianjin Takung. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was classified as a discontinued operation and as of December 31, 2021, the operation Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was presented in discontinued operations.

Hong Kong MQ is engaged in blockchain and non-fungible tokens ("**NFT**") businesses, including consultancy service for NFT launch projects, developing its own NFT marketplace to facilitate users to buy and sell NFTs, as well as development of block chain-based online games. As of December 31, 2021, Hong Kong MQ had no operations. As of June 30, 2022, Hong Kong MQ has not generated revenue.

The Board regularly reviews the Company's businesses and investments with a view towards utilizing the Company's resources in a manner that it believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As part of this process, the Board from time to time evaluates certain distinct alternatives, including potential acquisitions, dispositions, business combinations and separations, with an objective of long-term growth as measured by increases in book value and intrinsic value over time.

Based on its review, analyses and discussions, the Board has determined that the sale of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ, to the Purchaser is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, on October 6, 2022, the Board approved the Disposition.

#### Reports, Opinions and Appraisals
The Company engaged Access Partner Consultancy & Appraisals Limited ("**Access Partner**") to render an opinion as to whether the disposition consideration to be received by the Company is fair to the Company's shareholders from a financial point of view.

In the event of any discrepancy between the terms of the Merger Agreement and the following summary, the Merger Agreement will control.*

*Introduction*

The Merger Agreement you are being asked to adopt at the Annual Meeting provides for a merger that would result in your shares of the Company common stock being converted into the right to receive an equal number of ordinary shares in the capital of NFT Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Under the Merger Agreement, NFT Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will merge with and into the Company, with NFT Limited surviving the merger. If the Merger Agreement is adopted by the stockholders, we anticipate that the merger will become effective by 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 30, 2022. Following the merger, NFT Limited will own and continue to conduct our business in substantially the same manner as is currently being conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries. Immediately following the merger, you will own an interest in NFT Limited, which will be managed by the same Board of Directors and executive officers that managed the Company immediately prior to the merger. Additionally, the consolidated assets and employees of NFT Limited will be the same as those of the Company immediately prior to the merger.

*The Parties to the Merger*

The Company is a holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware. Thought our subsidiaries, we currently operate an electronic online platform located at *https://www.nftoeo.com/* for artists, art dealers and art investors to offer and trade in ownership over valuable artwork in the form of non-fungible token or NFT. In addition, we also provide NFT consulting with respect to the strategic utilization of blockchain technology and NFT launch. Given our goal to create multiple potential revenue streams and continue to diverse the business model, we are also exploring NYF gaming business including sales of in-game characters NFTs and sales of membership packs.

NFT Limited is a newly formed exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company An "exempted" company under the laws of the Cayman Islands is one which receives such registration as a result of satisfying the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands that it conducts its operations mainly outside of the Cayman Islands and is as a result exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, such as the general requirement to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies, and is permitted flexibility in certain matters, such as the ability to register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands. NFT Limited does not have a significant amount of assets or liabilities and has not engaged in any business since its formation other than activities associated with its anticipated participation in the merger. Following the merger, NFT Limited, together with its subsidiaries, will own and continue to conduct our business in substantially the same manner as is currently being conducted by the Company and its subsidiaries.

The principal executive offices of both of the Company and NFT Limited are located at Office Q 11<sup>th</sup> Floor, Kings Wing Plaza 2, No. 1 Kwan Street, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong, and the telephone number of each company is +8613020144962.

#### Background and Reasons for the Merger
We believe the merger, which would change our place of incorporation from the United States to the Cayman Islands, is consistent with our international corporate strategy and would allow us to reduce operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs over the long term.

As noted, following the completion of the merger, NFT Limited is expected to qualify as a "foreign private issuer" under the rules and regulations of the SEC and we expect that the reduced reporting obligations associated with being a foreign private issuer will reduce operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs in the long term. NFT Limited will remain subject to the mandates of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and, as long as NFT Limited's ordinary shares

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

are listed on the NYSE American, the governance and disclosure rules of that stock exchange. However, as a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that would otherwise apply if NFT Limited were a company incorporated in the United States or did not meet the other conditions to qualify as a foreign private issuer. For example:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited may include in its SEC filings financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, or with the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB, without reconciliation to U.S. GAAP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently or as promptly, as U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. For example, NFT Limited will not be required to file current reports on Form 8-K within four business days from the occurrence of specific material events. Instead, NFT Limited will need to promptly furnish reports on Form 6-K any information that NFT Limited (a) makes or is required to make public under the laws of the Cayman Islands, (b) files or is required to file under the rules of any stock exchange or (iii) otherwise distributes or is required to distribute to its shareholders. Unlike Form 8-K, there is no precise deadline by which Form 6-K must be furnished. In addition, NFT Limited will not be required to file its annual report on Form 10-K, which may be due as soon as 60 days after its fiscal year end. As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months after its fiscal year end;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to conduct advisory votes on executive compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will be exempt from filing quarterly reports under the Exchange Act with the SEC;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be subject to the requirement to comply with Regulation Fair Disclosure, or Regulation FD, which imposes certain restrictions on the selected disclosure of material information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited will not be required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any "short-swing" trading transaction.

NFT Limited expects to take advantage of these exemptions if the merger is effected. Accordingly, after the completion of the merger, if you hold NFT Limited securities, you may receive less information about NFT Limited and its business than you currently receive with respect to the Company and be afforded less protection under the U.S. federal securities laws than you are entitled to currently. However, consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our stockholders, on executive compensation matters, NFT Limited intends to provide disclosure relating to its executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices and conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation once every three years after the merger is effected. However, NFT Limited expects to review this practice after the next such advisory vote and may at that time or in the future determine to conduct such advisory votes more frequently or to not conduct them at all.

Additionally, as a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands laws in lieu of certain NYSE American corporate governance standards.

Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP, our Cayman Islands counsel, has advised us that there are no comparable Cayman Islands laws related to the above corporate governance standards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not intend to initially rely on any NYSE American exemptions or accommodations for foreign private issuers following the merger.

We believe the merger and the related reorganization will enhance stockholder value. However, we cannot predict what impact, if any, the merger and reorganization will have in the long term in light of the fact that the achievement of our objectives depends on many things, including, among other things, future laws and regulations, as well as the development of our business.

For a discussion of the risk factors associated with the merger and reorganization, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization."

*Disadvantages of Reorganizing in the Cayman Islands*

There are certain disadvantages that accompany reorganizing in the Cayman Islands, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws and corporate laws as compared to the United States and may provide significantly less protection to investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited's constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between it and our officers, directors and shareholders be arbitrated.

NFT Limited's corporate affairs are governed by NFT Limited's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors and officers of NFT Limited, actions 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. 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, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors, although clearly established under Cayman Islands law, are not specifically prescribed in statute or a particular document in the same way that they are in certain statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States.

Additionally, a significant portion of our operations are conducted in the PRC, and a significant portion of our assets are located in the PRC. After the merger, a majority of NFT Limited's directors and all of its executive officers will continue to reside outside of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are or may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon NFT Limited or such persons, or to enforce against them in courts of the United States, Cayman Islands or PRC, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

*The Merger*

The steps that have been taken to date, and that will be taken, to complete the merger are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Company has formed NFT Limited, with the Company holding one Class A ordinary share issued by NFT Limited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Following the Annual Meeting, provided we have obtained the requisite stockholder approval, (i) the Company will merge with and into NFT Limited, with NFT Limited surviving, and (ii) the single Class A ordinary share of NFT Limited issued and outstanding and registered in the name of the Company shall be surrendered by the Company upon which the Company shall cease to be entitled to any rights in respect of such share and shall be removed from the register of members of NFT Limited with respect to such share and the surrendered share shall be cancelled. All outstanding shares of the Company common stock will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of Class A ordinary shares of NFT Limited, which shares will be issued by NFT Limited as part of the merger.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As a result, the existence of the Company will, upon completion of the merger, cease and NFT Limited shall continue as the surviving entity.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding and unexercised portions of each option, warrant and security exercisable or convertible by its terms into the common stock of the Company (including convertible promissory notes), whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a "Company Stock Option") shall be assumed by NFT Limited and shall be deemed to constitute an option, warrant or

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

convertible security, as the case may be, to acquire the same number of ordinary shares of NFT Limited as the holder of such Company Stock Option would have been entitled to receive had such holder exercised or converted such Company Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time (not taking into account whether such Company Stock Option was in fact exercisable or convertible at such time), at the same exercise price per share, and shall, to the extent permitted by law and otherwise reasonably practicable, have the same term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status and all other material terms and conditions; and NFT Limited shall take all steps to ensure that a sufficient number of ordinary shares is reserved for the exercise of such Company Stock Options.

The Merger Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time before or after it is adopted by the stockholders of the Company. However, after adoption by the stockholders, no amendment, modification or supplement may be made or effected that requires further approval by the Company stockholders without obtaining that approval.

*Possible Abandonment*

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company may exercise its discretion to terminate the Merger Agreement, and therefore abandon the merger, at any time prior to the Effective Time, including after the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's stockholders. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Our Board of Directors may choose to defer or abandon the merger."

*Additional Agreements*

NFT Limited expects to enter into indemnification agreements with those directors, executive officers and other officers and employees (including officers and employees of its subsidiaries) who currently have indemnification agreements with the Company. The NFT Limited indemnification agreements will be substantially similar to the Company's existing indemnification agreements and will generally require that NFT Limited indemnify and hold an indemnitee harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law for liabilities arising out of the indemnitee's current or past association with NFT Limited, any subsidiary of NFT Limited or another entity where he or she is or was serving at NFT Limited's request as a director or officer or in a similar capacity that involves services with respect to any employee benefit plan. The indemnification agreements also provide for the advancement of defense expenses by NFT Limited.

In addition, NFT Limited's shareholder approval (from and after the Effective Time) of the Company equity compensation plans to be assumed by NFT Limited for purposes of Section 422(b) of the Code, was established through approval of such plan by the Company, as the sole stockholder of NFT Limited, immediately prior to the merger. As part of the merger, NFT Limited will assume the Company's any other plans and programs as provided in the Merger Agreement as may be amended immediately prior to the Effective Time. Although the merger will constitute a change in control for purposes of the foregoing equity compensation plans and other agreements with the Company's executive officers, we will not incur any obligation as a result of the merger under the terms of the plans and agreements since NFT Limited will assume the plans and agreements and any such obligation will be waived in connection with the merger, if applicable.

*Conditions to Completion of the Merger*

The following conditions must be satisfied or waived, if allowed by law, to complete the merger and reorganization:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. the Merger Agreement has been adopted by the requisite vote of stockholders of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. none of the parties to the Merger Agreement is subject to any decree, order or injunction that prohibits the consummation of the merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. the registration statement of which this Proxy Statement is a part has been declared effective by the SEC and no stop order is in effect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. the NFT Limited ordinary shares to be issued pursuant to the merger have been authorized for listing on NYSE American, subject to official notice of issuance and satisfaction of other standard conditions;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. all material consents and authorizations of, filings or registrations with, and notices to, any governmental or regulatory authority required of the Company, NFT Limited or their subsidiaries to consummate the merger have been obtained or made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. the representations and warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement set forth in the Merger Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, and the covenants of the parties set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than those to be performed after the Effective Time) have been performed in all material respects.

Our Board of Directors currently does not anticipate any circumstances in which it would waive the conditions listed above; however, in the event it determines that a waiver of any such conditions is in the best interests of our stockholders and that such change to the terms of the merger does not make the disclosure provided to our stockholders materially misleading (for example, if a representation in the Merger Agreement is not true but there is otherwise no harm to the Company or our stockholders), our Board of Directors will not resolicit shareholder approval of the merger. If a waiver of any condition listed above would make the disclosure provided to our stockholders materially misleading, our Board of Directors will resolicit shareholder approval of the merger. Additionally, our Board of Directors reserves the right to defer or abandon the merger as well for the reasons described under "Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Our Board of Directors may choose to defer or abandon the merger."

*Stock Compensation and Benefit Plans and Programs*

As part of the merger, NFT Limited has agreed to assume all of the Company's rights and obligations under the Company's 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as may be amended immediately prior to the Effective Time. The plan that provides benefits to employees of subsidiaries of the Company will, upon being assumed by NFT Limited, continue to provide benefits to such employees consistent with the current manner. For those plans that currently provide for the issuance of the Company common stock, following the merger, NFT Limited ordinary shares will be issued, with no anticipated increase to our "overhang," which we define for this purpose as the total number of shares required to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options and/or other equity awards outstanding and assumed by NFT Limited in connection with the merger or shares otherwise available for issuance under our equity compensation plans assumed by NFT Limited. Except as described below, all rights to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on, the Company common stock arising under our equity compensation plans will entitle the holder to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on, as applicable, an equal number of NFT Limited ordinary shares.

*Effective Time*

Provided that we have obtained the requisite stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, we anticipate that the merger will become effective at 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 30, 2022. Our Board of Directors will have the right, however, to defer or abandon the merger at any time if it concludes that completion of the merger would not be in the best interests of the Company or our stockholders.

*Management of NFT Limited*

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Company at such time will be elected or appointed as the directors and officers of NFT Limited (to the extent the directors and officers of NFT Limited and the Company are not already identical), each such person to have the same office(s) with NFT Limited (and the same class designations and committee memberships in the case of directors) as he or she held with the Company, with the directors to serve until the earlier of the next meeting of the NFT Limited shareholders at which an election of directors of their respective classes is required or until their successors are elected or appointed (or their earlier death, disability or retirement).

*Regulatory Approvals*

The only governmental or regulatory approvals or actions that are required to complete the merger are compliance with U.S. federal and state securities laws, NYSE American rules and regulations and DGCL (including the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of a certificate of merger).

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

*Rights of Dissenting Stockholders*

Under the DGCL, you will not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger because, among other reasons, the NFT Limited shares you receive in the merger will be listed on NYSE American.

*Ownership in NFT Limited*

The Company common stock registered in your name or which you beneficially own through your broker will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares and such shares will be registered in your name (or your broker's name, as applicable) in NFT Limited's register of members upon completion of the merger, without any further action on your part. Upon completion of the merger, only registered shareholders reflected in NFT Limited's register of members will have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to and to receive any dividend and other distributions upon NFT Limited ordinary shares registered in their respective names. Any attempted transfer of the Company stock prior to the merger that is not properly documented and reflected in the stock records maintained by the Company's transfer agent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will not be reflected in NFT Limited's register of members upon completion of the merger. Registered holders of NFT Limited's ordinary shares seeking to transfer NFT Limited ordinary shares following the merger will be required to provide authorizing resolutions and customary transfer documents required by NFT Limited's transfer agent to complete the transfer.

If you hold the Company's common stock in uncertificated book-entry form (for example, if you hold your shares through a broker), at the Effective Time, the Company common stock registered in your name or which you beneficially own through your broker will be converted into the right to receive an equal number of NFT Limited ordinary shares and such shares will be registered in your name (or your broker's name, as applicable) in book-entry form without any action on your part.

If you hold the Company's common stock in certificated form, you may exchange your stock certificates for new NFT Limited share certificates promptly following the merger. We will request that all the Company stock certificates be returned to NFT Limited's transfer agent following the merger. Soon after the closing of the merger, you will be sent a letter of transmittal from our exchange agent. It is expected that, prior to the Effective Time, VStock Transfer, LLC will be appointed as our exchange agent for the merger. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions explaining the procedure for surrendering your stock certificates for new NFT Limited share certificates. YOU SHOULD NOT RETURN STOCK CERTIFICATES WITH THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD.

The Company's current transfer agent is VStock Transfer, LLC, which will continue to serve as the transfer agent for NFT Limited Class A ordinary shares after the Effective Time.

*Stock Exchange Listing*

The Company's common stock is currently listed on NYSE American under the symbol "TKAT." There is currently no established public trading market for NFT Limited's Class A ordinary shares. However, it is a condition to the completion of the merger that the shares of NFT Limited will be authorized for listing on NYSE American, subject to official notice of issuance and satisfaction of other standard conditions. As such, we expect that as of the Effective Time, NFT Limited's Class A ordinary shares will be authorized for listing on NYSE American, and we expect such shares will be traded on the exchange under the symbol "MI".

It is anticipated that NFT Limited will qualify as a foreign private issuer in the U.S. following the merger. As a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands laws in lieu of certain NYSE American corporate governance standards. However, we do not intend to initially rely on any NYSE American exemptions or accommodations for foreign private issuers following the merger.

*Accounting Treatment of the Merger*

The merger will be accounted for as a legal reorganization with no change in ultimate ownership interest immediately before and after the transaction. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities will be recorded at historical cost as an exchange between entities under common control. The transaction costs incurred in connection with the merger and re-domicile have been or will be reflected in general and administrative expense in our condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period incurred. Please see the section entitled "Summary — Summary Pro Forma Financial Information."

#### Taxation
The following discussion of the material Cayman Islands, People's Republic of China and United States federal income tax consequences is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof effective as of the date of this Proxy Statement, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to the merger or otherwise, such as the tax consequences under state and local and tax laws.

*Cayman Islands Taxation*

The Cayman Islands Government (or any other taxing authority in the Cayman Islands) currently does not levy taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation, and there is no taxation in the Cayman Islands in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to NFT Limited levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duty which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duties or other similar taxes or charges are payable under the laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of the execution or delivery of any of the documents relating the proposed merger or the performance or enforcement of any of them, unless they are executed in or thereafter brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands for enforcement purposes or otherwise. We do not intend that any documents relating the proposed merger be executed in or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

*People's Republic of China Taxation*

Under the CIT Law and its implementation rules, both effective on January 1, 2008, all domestic and foreign investment companies will be subject to a uniform enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% and dividends from PRC enterprises to their foreign shareholders will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 10% if the foreign investors are considered as non-resident enterprises without any establishment or place within the PRC or if the dividends payable have no connection with the establishment or place of the foreign investors within the PRC, unless any such foreign investor's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a lower withholding tax rate. In accordance with Caishui (2008) No. 1 issued by the Ministry of Finance, or MOF, and SAT on February 22, 2008, the accumulative undistributed profits of foreign investment companies generated before January 1, 2008, and distributed to foreign investors after year 2008, shall be exempt from withholding tax.

The CIT Law has introduced the concept of "resident enterprises" and corresponding tax liability on resident enterprises' worldwide income, whilst "non-resident enterprises" without any place or establishment in the PRC are required to pay 10% income tax on their passive incomes from sources within China only. A resident enterprise refers to an enterprise that (i) was established/incorporated within the PRC or (ii) was established/incorporated under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction but has its "de facto management body" in the PRC. A non-resident enterprise refers to an enterprise which was established/incorporated under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and does not have its "de facto management body" in the PRC, but has an establishment or place in the PRC, or has China-sourced income even though it does not have any establishment or place in the PRC.

Under the implementation rules of the CIT Law, "de facto management body" is defined as an organization that has material and overall management and control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In April 2009, the SAT issued a Notice on Issues Relating to Determination of PRC-Controlled Offshore Enterprises as PRC Resident Enterprises Based on "De Facto Management Body" Test, or SAT Circular No. 82, under which, an offshore enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will be characterized as a "resident enterprise" due to the fact that its "de facto management body" is located within the PRC, if all of the following conditions are met at the same time: (i) the senior management personnel responsible for its daily operations and the place where the senior management departments discharge their responsibilities are located primarily in the PRC; (ii) its finance and human resources related decisions are made by or are subject to the approval of institutions or personnel located in the PRC; (iii) its major assets, books and records, company seals and minutes of its board of directors and shareholder meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (iv) senior management personnel or 50% or more of the members of its board of directors with voting power of the enterprise reside in the PRC. SAT Circular No. 82 further specifies that the principle of "substance over form" shall be adopted in determining whether the "de facto management body" is located within China.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

We currently are not treated as a PRC resident enterprise by the Chinese tax authority and as a result, we have not withheld PRC income taxes from our foreign investors and as a non-resident enterprise, we are subject to PRC withholding tax if we receive dividends directly from our PRC subsidiaries paid by them using funds out of their profits generated on and after January 1, 2008.

Nevertheless, a significant portion of our operations are currently based in the PRC and are likely to remain based in the PRC after the merger. Moreover, a significant portion of our management team, who are in charge of finance and human resources related decisions, will perform their duties mainly in the PRC, and over 50% of our board members habitually reside in the PRC. Our main properties, accounting books and records, company seals and minutes of board meetings are maintained in China.

However, the rules regarding the determination of the "de facto management body" are relatively new and whether such rules may apply to us is unclear. Due to lack of further written clarification by the SAT, there is still a uncertainty around the interpretation of each of the four conditions as specified in SAT Circular No. 82 and the principle of "substance over form" and the implementation of SAT Circular No. 82 by Chinese tax authorities in practice. It also remains unclear what percentage of shares of an offshore enterprise must be held by a PRC entity or group in order for the offshore enterprise to be deemed as an offshore enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group, and whether shares held by PRC resident individuals are counted pursuant to SAT Circular No. 82.

Due to the lack of clear guidance on the determination of our tax residency under the CIT Law, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities will treat us as a PRC resident enterprise either before or after the merger or what effect, if any, the merger will have on the determination. As a result, we cannot express an opinion as to the likelihood that we will be subject to the tax applicable to resident enterprises or non-resident enterprises under the CIT Law. If NFT Limited is treated as a PRC resident enterprise, it will be subject to PRC tax on its worldwide income at the 25% uniform tax rate, but the dividends distributed from its subsidiaries that are or deemed to be PRC resident enterprises should be tax-exempt income. In addition, if NFT Limited is considered a PRC resident enterprise, the dividends paid by it to the non-PRC shareholders may be regarded as income from sources within the PRC pursuant to SAT Circular No. 82, and therefore the non-PRC institutional shareholders may be subject to a 10% withholding tax, and the non-PRC individual shareholders may be subject to a 20% withholding tax unless they are able to claim a lower tax rate pursuant to applicable tax treaties.

Furthermore, if NFT Limited is treated as a PRC resident enterprise, there is a possibility that the capital gains realized by its non- PRC shareholders from the transfer of their shares may be regarded as income from sources within the PRC for PRC tax purposes. If such capital gains are taxed in China, the applicable income tax rate would be 10% for non-PRC institutional shareholders, and 20% for non-PRC individual shareholders. If the non-PRC shareholders are US residents that are eligible for PRC-US Tax Treaty benefits, whether capital gains should be taxed in China is unclear.

Pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Article 12 of the PRC-US Tax Treaty, gains from the alienation of shares of a company which is a PRC resident other than those mentioned in paragraph 4 representing a participation of 25 per cent may be taxed in China. Paragraph 6 of Article 12 of the PRC-US Tax Treaty further specifies that "[G]ains derived by a resident of a Contracting State from the alienation of any property other than that referred to in paragraphs 1 through 5 and arising in the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State." By virtue of this provision, the capital gains realized by the US residents may be taxed in the PRC if the capital gains are considered as "arising in" the PRC. Under the CIT Law and its implementing rules, the capital gains from transfer of shares may be considered as "arising in" the PRC if the enterprise whose shares are transferred is "located in" China. If NFT Limited is considered a PRC resident enterprise, and if the Chinese tax authorities take the position that a PRC resident enterprise is deemed to be located in China, the capital gains realized by the US residents from transfer of their shares may be taxed in the PRC depending on how the PRC-US Tax Treaty is interpreted and implemented by the Chinese tax authorities.

*Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to the Merger and the Ownership and Disposition of NFT Limited Ordinary Shares*

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger and of the ownership and disposition of NFT Limited ordinary shares after the merger, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. To the extent the discussion relates to matters of U.S. federal income tax law, and subject to the qualifications herein, it represents the opinion of Hunter Taubman Fischer and Li LLC, our United States counsel. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of particular circumstances, nor does it address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to persons who are subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tax-exempt organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• dealers in securities or currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• holders who acquired our stock as compensation or pursuant to the exercise of a stock option

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons who hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, "straddle," or other risk reduction transaction; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• persons who do not hold our common stock as a capital asset (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding common stock through such entities,

all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those discussed below.

In addition, unless expressly provided below, this discussion does not address any foreign, state, or local laws or U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws.

For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States (or treated as such under applicable U.S. tax laws), any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust if (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable law and regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-U.S. holder is a holder that is not a U.S. holder.

In the case of a partnership or entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the merger or of the ownership and disposition of NFT Limited ordinary shares.

*Tax Consequences of the Merger to the Company and NFT Limited*

NFT Limited Will Be Treated As a U.S. Corporation

Notwithstanding IRC Section 7701(a)(4), pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code, NFT Limited will be treated as a U.S. corporation for all purposes under the Code because (i) after the merger, NFT Limited will not have substantial business activities in the Cayman Islands and (ii) the former holders of the Company common stock will hold, by

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

reason of owning shares of the Company common stock, at least 80% or more of the NFT Limited ordinary shares. Because NFT Limited will be treated as a U.S. corporation for all purposes under the Code, NFT Limited will not be treated as a "passive foreign investment company," as such rules apply only to non-U.S. corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of the Company and NFT Limited

We expect that neither the Company nor NFT Limited will incur U.S. income tax as a result of completion of the merger.

*Tax Consequences of the Merger to U.S. Holders and Reporting Requirements*

U.S. holders will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon receipt of NFT Limited ordinary shares in exchange for the Company common stock. The aggregate tax basis in the ordinary shares of NFT Limited received in the merger will equal each such U.S. holder's aggregate tax basis in the Company common stock surrendered. A U.S. holder's holding period for the ordinary shares of NFT Limited that are received in the merger generally will include such U.S. holder's holding period for the common stock of the Company surrendered.

U.S. holders who owned at least 5% of the Company's outstanding stock or the Company common stock with a basis of $1,000,000 or more for U.S. federal income tax purposes who receive NFT Limited ordinary shares as a result of the merger will be required to file with such U.S. holders' U.S. federal income tax returns for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth certain facts relating to the merger. Such statements must include the U.S. holders' tax basis in, and fair market value of, the Company common stock surrendered in the merger.

U.S. holders should note that the state income tax consequences of the merger depend on the tax laws of such state. It is possible that the merger may be taxable under the tax laws of some states, including, e.g., California. U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to specific tax consequences to them of the merger in light of their particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of any state, local, or foreign tax laws and of changes in applicable tax laws.

*Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of NFT Limited Ordinary Shares to U.S. Holders*

*Distributions*

NFT Limited does not currently anticipate paying distributions on its ordinary shares. In the event that distributions are paid, however, the gross amount of such distributions will be included in the gross income of the U.S. holder as dividend income on the date of receipt to the extent that the distribution is paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, may be subject to reduced rates of taxation under current law. A U.S. holder may be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to any PRC withholding tax imposed on dividends paid by us. However, the foreign tax credit rules are complex, and their application in connection with Section 7874 of the Code in the presence of the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People's Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, are not entirely clear at this time. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to any benefits they may be entitled to under the foreign tax credit rules and the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

To the extent that dividends paid on NFT Limited ordinary shares exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of tax basis on the NFT Limited ordinary shares, and to the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds tax basis, the excess will be treated as capital gain.

*Sale or Other Disposition*

U.S. holders of NFT Limited ordinary shares will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized for the NFT Limited ordinary shares and the U.S. holder's tax basis in the ordinary shares. This gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. Non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, will be eligible for reduced tax rates if the NFT Limited

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

ordinary shares have been held for more than one year. A U.S. holder's holding period for NFT Limited ordinary shares should include such U.S. holder's holding period for the ordinary shares of the Company surrendered in the merger. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. holder may be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to any PRC withholding tax imposed on gain from the sale or other disposition of NFT Limited ordinary shares. However, the foreign tax credit rules are complex, and their application in connection with Section 7874 of the Code in the presence of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty are not entirely clear at this time. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to any benefits they may be entitled to under the foreign tax credit rules and the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

*Recent Legislation*

Recent legislation requires certain U.S. holders who are individuals, trusts or estates to pay a 3.8% tax on, among other things, dividends on and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of stock for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. holders should consult their own advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of NFT Limited ordinary shares.

*Consequences if the Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization*

If contrary to the opinion described above, the merger fails to qualify as a reorganization, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that exchanges its stock of the Company for the merger consideration will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of (a) the fair market value of the NFT Limited shares received, (b) the amount of cash consideration received pursuant to the merger, and (c) any cash received in lieu of fractional NFT Limited shares, and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the stock of the Company exchanged. A U.S. holder's aggregate tax basis in the NFT Limited shares received will be the fair market value of those shares on the date the U.S. holder receives them. The U.S. holder's holding period for the NFT Limited shares received pursuant to the merger will begin on the day after the date the U.S. holder receives such NFT Limited.

Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for the shares of the Company exceeds one year at the time of the merger. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, currently are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation. Any gain recognized by a U.S. holder will be treated as income from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.

*PFIC Considerations*

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year if at least 75 percent of its gross income consists of passive income (such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties or gains on the disposition of certain minority interests), or at least 50 percent of the average value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income (including for this purpose its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25 percent of the shares, by value).

The Company was a Domestic U.S. Corporation (and/or for any other reason that might be excluded from being characterized as a PFIC) and therefore was not a PFIC for its 2022 taxable year and does not expect to be a PFIC in its current year. If (a) the Company has been a PFIC for any taxable year during the holding period of a U.S. holder (and a U.S. holder of the Company stock has not made certain elections with respect to its Company stock), and (b) NFT Limited is not a PFIC in the taxable year of the merger (as expected), such U.S. holder would likely recognize gain (but not loss if the merger qualifies as a reorganization) upon the exchange of the Company stock for NFT Limited shares pursuant to the merger. The gain (or loss) would be computed as described above under "— Consequences if the Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization." Any such gain recognized by such U.S. holder on the exchange of the Company stock for NFT Limited shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. holder's holding period for the Company stock. Such amounts allocated for the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which the Company was a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income, and not as capital gain, in the U.S. holder's taxable year, and such amounts allocated to each other taxable year beginning with the year that the Company became a PFIC would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each year to which the gain was allocated, together with a special interest charge on the tax attributable to each such year.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

NFT Limited believes that it was not a PFIC for its 2022 taxable year and, based on the nature of its business, and the current and anticipated composition of its income and assets (including the the Company assets acquired in the merger), NFT Limited anticipates that it will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future, namely in connection with application of IRC Section 7874. However, this is a factual determination made annually after the close of each taxable year, based on NFT Limited's composition of income and assets and shareholders. Accordingly, in an abundance of caution, If NFT Limited were characterized as a PFIC for any taxable year, U.S. holders of NFT Limited shares would suffer adverse tax consequences. These consequences may include having gains realized on the disposition of offered shares treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains, and being subject to punitive interest charges on certain dividends and on the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of the NFT Limited shares. U.S. holders would also be subject to annual information reporting requirements. In addition, if NFT Limited were a PFIC in a taxable year in which NFT Limited paid a dividend or the prior taxable year, such dividends would not be eligible to be taxed at the reduced rates applicable to qualified dividend income (as discussed above).

U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to the exchange of the Company stock for merger consideration pursuant to the merger and, after the merger, their ownership of the NFT Limited shares.

*Tax Consequences of the Merger to Non-U.S. Holders*

The receipt of NFT Limited ordinary shares in exchange for the Company common stock will not be a taxable transaction to non-U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

*Tax Consequences of the Ownership and Disposition of NFT Limited Ordinary Shares to Non-U.S. Holders*

*Distributions*

NFT Limited does not currently anticipate paying distributions on its ordinary shares. In the event that distributions are paid, however, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that dividends paid on NFT Limited ordinary shares exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of tax basis on the NFT Limited ordinary shares, and to the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds tax basis, the excess will be treated as capital gain.

Any dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder by NFT Limited are treated as income derived from sources within the United States and generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends, or at a lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty if non-U.S. holders provide proper certification of eligibility for the lower rate (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN). Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, such dividend is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the U.S.) are exempt from such withholding tax, provided that applicable certification requirements are satisfied. In such case, however, non-U.S. holders will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such dividends, net of certain deductions, at the rates applicable to U.S. persons. In addition, corporate non-U.S. holders may be subject to an additional branch profits tax equal to 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable tax treaty on dividends received that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

If non-U.S. holders are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty, such non-U.S. holders may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

*Sale or Other Disposition*

Any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of NFT Limited ordinary shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and, if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such holder in the U.S.;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• NFT Limited is or has been a "U.S. real property holding corporation," or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period during which the holder has held NFT Limited ordinary shares.

Non-U.S. holders whose gain is described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale, net of certain deductions, at the rates applicable to U.S. persons, within the meaning of the Code. Corporate non-U.S. holders whose gain is described in the first bullet point above may also be subject to the branch profits tax described above at a 30% rate or lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty. Individual non-U.S. holders described in the second bullet point above will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax rate on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses, even though such non-U.S. holders are not considered to be residents of the United States.

A corporation will be a USRPHC if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50 percent of the aggregate of its real property interests (U.S. and non-U.S.) and its assets used or held for use in a trade or business. Because we do not currently own significant U.S. real property, we believe, but our special United States counsel has not independently verified, that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such common stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if you actually or constructively hold more than five percent of such regularly traded common stock at any time during the applicable period that is specified in the Internal Revenue Code.

*Backup Withholding and Information Reporting*

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to a holder of NFT Limited ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless such holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number on IRS Form W-9 (or other appropriate withholding form) or establishes an exemption from backup withholding, for example by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8. Payments of dividends to holders must generally be reported annually to the IRS, along with the name and address of the holder and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report is sent to the holder. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in the holder's country of residence.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

*Recently Enacted Legislation Affecting Taxation of Our Common Stock Held by or Through Foreign Entities*

Recently enacted legislation generally will impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock paid after December 31, 2012 to a "foreign financial institution" (as specially defined under these rules) unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners). The legislation also will generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock paid after December 31, 2012 to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on their investment in our common stock.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### PROPOSAL NO. 5 — APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF THE M&A

#### Proposed Memorandum and Articles of Association ("M&A")
The Board of the Company approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, the adoption of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of NFT Limited (the "**M&A**") pursuant to which NFT Limited will be authorized to issue 450,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 each (the "**Class A Ordinary Shares**"), 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 each (the "**Class B Ordinary Shares**")

Following the adoption of the M&A, each Class A Ordinary Share would be entitled to one (1) vote and each Class B Ordinary Share would be entitled to twenty (20) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company and with such other rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the M&A.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### PROPOSAL NO. 6 — APPROVAL OF THE RECLASSIFICATION

#### Proposed Amendment of Share Capital
The Board of the Company approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, an alteration to the share capital of the Company by the conversion of each of the Company's issued and paid up share of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 (the "**Common Stock**") into one Class A Ordinary Share to be issued as fully paid in the name of each shareholder, for each share of Common Stock which was registered in the name of each shareholder prior to the application of this resolution (collectively, the "**Reclassification**").

#### Potential Adverse Effects of the Reclassification
Future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, book value per share and the voting power and interest of current holders of Company's common stock which will be converted into the Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-on-one ratio. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, nor is this proposal being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt. However, nothing would prevent the Board from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.

#### Effectiveness of the Reclassification
If the proposed Reclassification is adopted, it will become effective upon the approval of the shareholders meeting. If the Merger Agreement and the Reclassification are approved by our shareholders, it is required for shareholders to surrender their existing stock certificates. The Company's transfer agent will mail a letter of transmittal to the shareholders who hold physical stock certificates with detailed written instructions for exchanging the stock certificates of common stock for stock certificates of Class A Ordinary Shares.

#### Vote Required
Proposal No. 6 (the approval of the Reclassification) will be approved if a majority of the total votes properly cast electronically or by proxy at the Meeting by the holders of ordinary shares vote "FOR" the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.

#### Recommendation of the Board
***The Board unanimously recommends that you vote all of your shares "FOR" the approval of the Reclassification as described in this Proposal No. 6.***

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### PROPOSAL NO. 7 — APPROVAL OF THE 2023 PLAN

#### The 2023 Equity Incentive Plan
The Board has declared advisable, adopted and is submitting for shareholder approval, the Company's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "**2023 Plan**"). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in the Company, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our ordinary shares.

If approved by the Company's shareholders, the 2023 Plan will be effective as of February 7, 2023 (the date that the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2023 Plan). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Proposal 7 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 2023 Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as <u>Appendix A</u>. The following description of the 2023 Plan's material terms is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2023 Plan.

#### Description of the Plan
<u>Administration of the Plan.</u> Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

<u>Eligibility.</u> Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units, Performance Shares, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock Based Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

<u>Stock Subject to the Plan.</u> Subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is 5,240,000 Shares. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. Shares shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Upon payment in Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Award, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced only by the number of Shares actually issued in such payment. If a Participant pays the exercise price (or purchase price, if applicable) of an Award through the tender of Shares, or if Shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy any Company withholding obligations, the number of Shares so tendered or withheld shall again be available for issuance pursuant to future Awards under the Plan. A total of 5,240,000 Shares, which such amount is included in the limit set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3(a), may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

<u>Amendment and Termination.</u> The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan.

<u>Term of Plan.</u> Subject to Section 22 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan.

<u>Change in Control.</u> In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or SAR substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation and each outstanding Award of Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit shall be assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.

#### Vote Required

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Takung Art Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the suspended operations of the Company's PRC subsidiary raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. 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 Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, 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 Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

*Investments*

As described in Note 4, the Company has a non-marketable investment in a privately held company incorporated in British Virgin Islands without readily determinable market values. Measurement of the carrying value of the investment requires significant management judgement. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The audit engagement team performed extended procedures, which includes, among others, conducting enquiry, vouching certain details and inputs, evaluating the appropriateness of valuation models and the reasonableness of key assumptions. The accounts that are affected are the investment accounts, related valuation allowance, and impairment expense.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

<u><u>Basis of presentation</u></u>

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company's financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

<u><u>Use of estimates</u></u>

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those results.

#### TAKUNG ART CO., LTD AND SUBSIDIARIES <br>NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br>(Stated in U.S. Dollars except Number of Shares)
**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Basis of consolidation</u></u>

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, and its subsidiaries, Hong Kong Takung, Shanghai Takung, Tianjin Takung, Hong Kong MQ and Tianjin MQ. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

<u><u>Discontinued operations</u></u>

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 205 "Presentation of Financial Statements" Subtopic 20-45, in determining whether any of its business component(s) classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale or other than by sale is required to be reported in discontinued operations. In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20-45-1, a discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or non-profit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff).

For the component disposed of other than by sale in accordance with paragraph 360-10-45-15, the Company adopted ASC Topic 205-20-45-3 and reported the results of operations of the discontinued operations, less applicable income tax expenses or benefits as a separate component in in the statement where net income (loss) is reported for current and all prior periods presented. Due to the suspension of the operation of Tianjin Takung by the local authority in the fourth quarter of 2021, Hong Kong Takung lost its control over Tianjin Takung. The Company plans to dispose Hong Kong Takung, and is actively locating buyers for Hong Kong Takung and related operations in order to focus on its blockchain and NFT business operation. As of December 31, 2021, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was classified as a discontinued operation and as of December 31, 2020, both the operations of Hong Kong Takung and Tianjin Takung were presented as discontinued operations.

<u><u>Deconsolidation</u></u>

Under the ASC Subtopic 810-10-40, "Consolidation-Overall-Derecognition", a reporting entity will deconsolidate a subsidiary in the period when the loss of control over such subsidiary incurred as a result of one or more of the following events: (i) a parent sells all or part of its ownership interest in its subsidiary; (ii) the expiration of a contractual agreement that gave control of the subsidiary to the parent; (iii) the subsidiary issues shares which reduces the parent's ownership interest in the subsidiary to an extent that the parent no longer has a controlling financial interest in such subsidiary; (iv) the subsidiary becomes subject to the control of a government, court, administrator, or regulator. Upon deconsolidation, the reporting entity would no longer include the subsidiary's assets, liabilities and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. Due to the suspension of the operation of Tianjin Takung by the local authority, the loss of control over Tianjin Takung was resulted. The financial information of Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated for the year ended December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Reclassification</u></u>

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in order to reflect the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung. None of these reclassifications had an impact on reported financial position or cash flows for any of the periods presented.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Fair value measurements</u></u>

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements", for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined 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. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

<u><u>Comprehensive loss</u></u>

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 220 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", and establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company's comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustment.

<u><u>Foreign currency translation and transaction</u></u>

The functional currency of Hong Kong Takung, Takung Art Holdings, Hong Kong MQ and Tianjin Takung are the Hong Kong Dollar ("HKD").

The functional currency of Tianjin MQ is the Renminbi ("RMB").

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("USD").

Transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on re-translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company's assets and liabilities with functional currency of HKD are expressed in USD at the exchange rate on the balance sheet's dates, which is 7.7996 and 7.7534 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively; stockholder's equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates during the year, which is 7.7727 and 7.7559 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For Renminbi currency, the Company's assets and liabilities are expressed in USD at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, which is 6.373 and 6.525 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively. Stockholder's equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rates during the year, which is 6.4508 and 6.9042 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheets.

<u><u>Cash and cash equivalents</u></u>

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in bank with no restrictions, as well as highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when initially purchased.

A significant portion of the Company's cash and cash equivalents is denominated in RMB, and deposited in the financial institutions of China. Chinese governmental policies were introduced in 1996 to allow the convertibility of RMB denominated cash into foreign currencies for current account items, but conversion of RMB denominated cash into foreign exchange for most of the capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. These approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currencies to fund the business activities outside China, or to repay non-RMB denominated obligations.

<u><u>Restricted cash</u></u>

Restricted cash represents the cash deposited by the traders ("buyers and sellers") into a specific bank account under Takung ("the broker's account") in order to facilitate the trading shares of the artwork. The buyers are required to have their funds transferred to the broker's account before the trading take place. Upon the delivery of the shares, the seller will send instructions to the bank, requesting the amount to be transferred to their personal account. After deducting the commission and the management fee as per Takung, the bank will transfer the remainder to the seller's personal account. Except for instructing the bank to deduct the commission and management fee, Takung has no right to use any funds in the broker's account except for instructing the bank to deduct the commission and management fee. Our restricted cash is denominated in RMB and is deposited in the financial institutions of China. Due to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung, the ending balance of our restricted cash totaling $52,215,458 and $9,144,610 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was not included in our consolidated financial statements and reclassified to current assets — a deconsolidated entity.

<u><u>Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts</u></u>

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the assessment of various factors, including historical, experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers' ability to pay.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Loan receivable</u></u>

Loan to third parties is presented under current asset of the balance sheets based on the nature and loan period of time.

<u><u>Prepayment and other current assets, net</u></u>

Prepayment and other current assets mainly consist of the prepayment for income taxes, maintenance of online trading system, advertising and promotional services, insurances, financial advisory, professional services, rental deposits, as well as other current assets.

<u><u>Other</u> <u>non-current</u> <u>assets</u></u>

A portion of the deposits, are presented under the non-current section of the balance sheets based on the expected collection date.

<u><u>Property and equipment, net</u></u>

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income or expense. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service.

The Company developed systems and solutions for solely internal use. Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software are capitalized. Unamortized capitalized costs are included in computer trading and clearing system, within property and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software of 5 years. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets' estimated residual value:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **Classification** | **Estimated useful life** |
|  Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 years |
|  Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the remaining lease terms and the estimated 3 years |
|  Computer trading and clearing system | 5 years |

---

<u><u>Long-lived</u> <u>assets</u></u>

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of these long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

During 2021, we recorded $16.3 million in asset impairments due to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung as a result of the loss of control in this entity. Please refer to Note 5 for details. In addition, we determined that the future undiscounted cash flow was less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge, $1,333,506, against our non-marketable investment. Please refer to Note 4 for details.

<u><u>Intangible assets</u></u>

Intangible assets represent the licensing cost for the trademark registration. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. For intangible assets with definite lives, they are amortized over estimated useful lives, and are reviewed annually for impairment. The Company has not recorded impairment of intangible assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

<u><u>Customer deposits</u></u>

Customer deposits represent the cash deposited by the traders ("buyers and sellers") into a specific bank account under Takung ("the broker's account") in order to facilitate the trading ownership units of the artwork. The buyers are required to have their funds transferred to the broker's account before the trading take place.

<u><u>Advance from customers</u></u>

Advance from customers represent trading commissions one month in advance charged to the VIP traders. Starting from April 1, 2016, the Company charges a monthly commission to VIP traders, instead of charging per transaction.

<u><u>Revenue Recognition</u></u>

The Company generates revenue from its services in connection with the offering and trading of artworks on the Company's system, primarily consisting of listing fee, trading commission, and management fee.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using modified retrospective approach applied to its contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are accounted for and presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Topic 605.

Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to the traders and service agents. Revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the traders and service agents. The revenue mainly falls into the following broad categories: (i) listing fee, (ii) commission, and (iii) management fee.

*Listing fee*

The Company recognizes the listing fee revenue at a point in time when the ownership units of the artwork are listed and available for trading on the Company's system, at an amount of an agreed percentage of the total offering price. The amount is collected from the money raised from the issuance of such units.

*Commission*

The Company generates commission fee from non-VIP traders and selected traders.

For non-VIP traders, the commission is calculated based on a percentage of transaction value of artworks when there is purchase and sale of the ownership shares of the artworks. The commission revenue is recognized at a point in time when each purchase and sale transaction is completed.

For selected traders, starting from April 1, 2016, the Company charged a predetermined monthly commission fee which allows the selected traders to conduct unlimited trades for specific artworks. The commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the Company continuously satisfied its performance obligation.

*Management fee*

The Company provides custody and insurance service for artworks listed and traded on the Company's platform. Management fee is calculated at a rate of $0.0013 (HK$0.01) per 100 artwork units per day. The management fee is recognized and is deducted from proceeds from the sale of artwork ownership shares when there is a purchase and sale transaction. A discount program is offered to waive the management fee during certain promotion periods. Such discounts are recognized as a reduction of the revenue.

The Company provides third-party merchants the access to Takung's online platform for sales of artworks, and charges commission fee to third-party merchants, at an amount of an agreed percentage of the total transaction price. The revenue is recognized at a point in time when the artwork sales transaction is completed.

*Consultancy service fee revenue*

Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, we incurred a consultancy service fee revenue, $120,000, which was pertinent to providing consultancy services with respect to the strategic utilization of blockchain technology and NFT launch to a third party. Management has determined that consultancy service fee revenue is a single performance obligation that is recognizer over time as services are rendered. For this type of service, the Company expects for customers to pay subsequent to the rendering of services; however, this is a new type of services so payment terms may change in the future.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The Company does not have amounts of contract assets that it has right to consideration in exchange for services that the Company has transferred to customers when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. The contract liabilities are the Company's obligation to transfer services to traders for which the Company has received consideration from the traders. All contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within one month and are presented in Advance from Customers in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the cost of revenue incurred by Tianjin Takung was $139,363.

<u><u>Leases</u></u>

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Leases (ASC Topic 842), which amends the leases requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new lease accounting standard, a lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases, and enhances the disclosure requirements. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The lease payments under the lease arrangements are fixed. Non-lease components include payments for building management, utilities and property tax. It separates the non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate.

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company's incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

<u><u>Income taxes</u></u>

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted by the U.S. government which included a wide range of tax reform affecting businesses including the corporate tax rates, international tax provisions, tax credits and deduction with majority of the tax provision effective after December 31, 2017. Certain activities conducted in foreign jurisdictions may result in the imposition of U.S. corporate income taxes on Takung when its subsidiaries, controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"), generate income that is subject to Subpart F or GILTI under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code beginning after December 31, 2017.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economy Security (CARES) Act ("the CARES Act, H.R. 748") was signed into law on 27 March 2020. The CARES Act temporarily eliminates the 80% taxable income limitation (as enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) for NOL deductions for 2018-2020 tax years and reinstated NOL carrybacks for the 2018-2020 tax years. Moreover, the CARES Act also temporarily increases the business interest deduction limitations from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for the 2019 and 2020 taxable year. Lastly, the Tax Act technical correction classifies qualified improvement property as 15-year recovery period, allowing the bonus depreciation deduction to be claimed for such property retroactively as if it was included in the Tax Act at the time of enactment. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 due to the recent enactment.

The Company accounts for an unrecognized tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company considers and estimates interest and penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits and includes as part of its income tax provision based on the applicable income tax regulations.

The Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit from an uncertain tax position based on the income tax examination as discussed in Note 15.

<u><u>Earnings (loss) per share</u></u>

Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive (Note 18).

<u><u>Concentration of risks</u></u>

*Concentration of credit risk*

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, account receivables. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. Account receivables primarily comprise of amounts receivable from the trader customers. With respect to the prepayment to service suppliers, the Company performs on-going credit evaluations of the financial condition of these suppliers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific service providers and other information.

*Concentration of customers*

There were no revenues from customers that individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

*Concentration of customer deposits*

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no traders that individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total customer deposits.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Accounting standards adopted on January 1, 2020</u></u>

***Fair Value Measurement:*** In August 2018, the FASB Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Under this guidance, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and the rationale for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For level 3 fair value measurement, disclosures for the range and weighted average used to establish significant unobservable inputs are required. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and there was no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

<u><u>Accounting standards adopted on January 1, 2021</u></u>

***Income Taxes:*** On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance amends ASC Topic 740 and addresses several aspects including 1) evaluation of step-up tax basis of goodwill when there is not a business combination, 2) policy election to not allocate consolidated taxes on a separate entity basis to entities not subject to income tax, 3) accounting for tax law changes or rates during interim periods, 4) ownership changes from equity method investment to subsidiary or vice versa, 5) elimination of exception to intraperiod allocation when there is gain in discontinued operations and a loss from continuing operations, 6) treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The Company adopted ASU2019-12 effective January 1, 2021.

<u><u>Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted</u></u>

***Financial Instruments — Credit Losses:*** In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)." This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements, particularly its recognition of allowances for accounts receivable.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

**3. GOING CONCERN**

Due to the recent regulatory scrutiny by PRC governments on digital asset related business, the artwork unit trading platform operated by the PRC subsidiary Tianjin Takung was suspended by the local authority. The Management became aware of the suspension on or around November 8, 2021. The local authority indicated the suspension was to facilitate certain investigation although it did not announce the purpose of the investigation. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the local authority's investigation.

Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirements of ASC 205-40 and, based on the above factors, the management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Management's plan to alleviate the going concern risk includes, but not limited to, (1) equity or debt financing, (2) increasing cash generated from new business model operations, and (3) financing from domestic banks and other financial institutions. The management of the Company has made the following plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and to increase the liquidity of the Company.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**3. GOING CONCERN** (cont.)

#### Management's Plan
*Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") Transaction*

The Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement on February 23, 2022 (the "SPA") with certain non-affiliated and accredited "non-U.S. Persons", (the "Purchasers") as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 11,952,190 units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock (the "Shares") and a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase three Shares.

On March 9, 2021, the Company and the Purchasers agreed to amend and restate the SPA (the "A&R SPA") to amend the number of units sold, per unit purchase price, and the terms of the warrants underlying the units. Pursuant to the terms of the A&R SPA, the Company agreed to sell 10,238,910 units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of one Share and a Warrant to purchase three Shares with a purchase price per Unit of $2.93.

On April 14, 2022, the transaction contemplated by the A&R SPA closed. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $30 million.

*New Business Model Operations*

Meanwhile, the Company is actively seeking other strategic partners with resources that can expand its blockchain and NFT businesses.

The Company has recruited a global management team and technology research and development team to develop new products and new business directions that combine education and technology to provide online service in Metaverse. In order to diversify the political and legal risks result from the scrutiny from the PRC regulations in regard with the digital assets, the Company has also decided to expand its business outside China, such as United States and Canada.

The Company has set up the new corporate structure for its new business stream as follows:

**4. INVESTMENTS**

We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. This guidance requires us to measure all equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method or result in consolidation at fair value and recognize any changes in net income. For equity investments with readily determinable and observable fair values, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of equity securities. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method classified as trading are not assessed for impairment, since they are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in net income. Similarly, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, equity investment classified as trading was not tested for impairment.

**4. INVESTMENTS** (cont.)

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, we assess the fair value compared to our cost basis in the investment. We also perform this assessment every reporting period for each investment for which our cost basis has exceeded the fair value.

For investments in privately-held companies, management's assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flows, estimates of revenue and appraisals, as applicable. We consider and apply the assumptions that we believe market participants would use in evaluating estimated future cash flows when utilizing the discounted cash flow or estimates of revenue valuation methodologies. In the event the fair value of an investment declines below our cost basis, management determines if the decline in fair value is other than temporary and records an impairment accordingly.

As of December 31, 2021, our investment merely includes a non-marketable investment in a privately held company incorporated in British Virgin Islands without readily determinable market values. We elected the measurement alternative under which we measured the investment at cost minus impairment with an adjustment to the changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the similar investments of the same issuer.

Management considered market conditions as the result of the global pandemic and other global macroeconomic conditions and the potential impact on the value of the Company's investment; accordingly, management conducted a review of each of its investments. After its review management determined that the future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge, $1,333,506, against our non-marketable investment. Management estimated future revenues and costs, and the related cash flows regarding this investment, as well as applying assumptions regarding the proper inputs into the weighted average cost of capital which included the consideration of comparable market participants and the Company's own capital structure in developing a discounted flow model to determine an update carrying value for the private-held investment.

The carrying value is measured as the total initial cost minus impairment. The carrying value for our non-marketable investment is summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31, 2021** | **December 31, 2020** |
|  Total initial cost | $10630120 | $— |
|  Cumulative net gain (loss) |  |  |
|  Provision for impairment | (1333506) |  |
|  Total carrying value | $9296614 | $— |

---

For the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not incur any unrealized gain or loss in connection with the non-marketable investment. Since the investment was acquired in August 2021, there was no unrealized gain or loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020.

**15. INCOME TAXES**

Takung was incorporated in the State of Delaware and is therefore subject to United States income tax. Hong Kong Takung, Takung Art Holdings and Hong Kong MQ were incorporated in Hong Kong S.A.R. People's Republic of China and are subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Shanghai Takung, Tianjin Takung and Tianjin MQ are PRC corporations and are subject to enterprise taxes in the PRC.

*United States of America*

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economy Security (CARES) Act ("the CARES Act, H.R. 748") was signed into law on 27 March 2020. The CARES Act temporarily eliminates the 80% taxable income limitation (as enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) for NOL deductions for 2018-2020 tax years and reinstated NOL carrybacks for the 2018-2020 tax years. Moreover, the CARES Act also temporarily increases the business interest deduction limitations from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for the 2019 and 2020 taxable year. Lastly, the Tax Act technical correction classifies qualified improvement property as 15-year recovery period, allowing the bonus depreciation deduction to be claimed for such property retroactively as if it was included in the Tax Act at the time of enactment. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 due to the recent enactment.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company in the United States had $11,935,256 and $1,454,286 in net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income, respectively. For net operating losses arising after December 31, 2017, the Tax Act limits the Company's ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income and carryforward the NOL indefinitely. NOLs generated prior to January 1, 2018 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation and will begin to expire in 2033 if not utilized.

*Hong Kong*

*Two-tier Profits Tax Rates*

The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 ("the Ordinance") of Hong Kong became effective for the assessment year 2018/2019. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD 2 million (approximately $257,311) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%. The Ordinance only allows one entity within a group of "connected entities" is eligible for the two-tier tax rate benefit. An entity is a connected entity of another entity if (1) one of them has control over the other;

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**15. INCOME TAXES** (cont.)

(2) both of them are under the control (more than 50% of the issued share capital) of the same entity; (3) in the case of the first entity being a natural person carrying on a sole proprietorship business-the other entity is the same person carrying on another sole proprietorship business. Since Hong Kong Takung, Takung Art Holdings and Hong Kong MQ are wholly owned and under the control of Takung U.S, these entities are connected entities. Under the Ordinance, it is an entity's election to nominate the entity that will be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates on its profits tax return. The election is irrevocable. The Company elected Hong Kong Takung to be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates.

The provision for current income and deferred taxes of Hong Kong Takung has been calculated by applying the new tax rate of 8.25%. Takung Art Holdings and Hong Kong MQ still apply the original tax rate of 16.5% for its provision for current income and deferred taxes.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company's subsidiaries in Hong Kong had $6,194,177 and $6,327,044 in net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income, respectively. These net operating losses will be carryforward indefinitely under Hong Kong Profits Tax regulation.

*Uncertain tax positions*

The reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31, 2021** | **December 31, 2020** |
|  Uncertain tax liabilities, beginning of period, discontinued operations | $101789 | $— |
|  Additions for tax position of current period |  | 101789 |
|  Settlements with tax authority during current year | (101789) |  |
|  Uncertain tax liabilities, end of period, discontinued operations | $— | $101789 |

---

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the respective jurisdictions, where applicable. The statute of limitations for the tax returns varies by jurisdictions.

The amounts of uncertain tax liabilities listed above are based on the recognition and measurement criteria of ASC Topic 740, and the balance is presented as current liability in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company anticipated that the settlements with the taxing authority are remitted within one year.

Our policy is to include interest and penalty charges related to uncertain tax liabilities as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company has a liability for accrued interest of $nil as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our subsidiary, Hong Kong Takung, has been recently selected for routine examination for its tax years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 by Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department ("IRD"). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $nil and $101,789, respectively, of uncertain tax liabilities related to the different methodology of certain non-deductible tax expenses applied by the IRD. The examination had been concluded in May 2021 and the ultimate resolution of the tax examination concurred with the uncertain tax liabilities previously accrued. Hong Kong Takung settled the entire tax liabilities in June 2021. The Company does not expect the position of uncertain tax liabilities will significantly fluctuate within the next twelve months.

The statute of limitations for the Internal Revenue Services to assess the income tax returns on a taxpayer expires three years from the due date of the profits tax return or the date on which it was filed, whichever is later.

In accordance with the Hong Kong profits tax regulations, a tax assessment by the IRD may be initiated within six years after the relevant year of assessment, but extendable to 10 years in the case of potential willful underpayment or evasion.

In accordance with PRC Tax Administration Law on the Levying and Collection of Taxes, the PRC tax authorities generally have up to five years to assess underpaid tax plus penalties and interest for PRC entities' tax filings. In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation. Accordingly, the PRC entities remain subject to examination by the tax authorities based on the above.

**16. LEASES**

The Company has operating leases for its office facilities and artwork storages. The Company's leases have remaining terms of less than one year to approximately nine years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

**17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES** (cont.)

Due to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung, the ending balance of our restricted cash totaling $52,215,458 and $9,144,610 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was not included in our consolidated financial statements and was reclassified to current assets — a deconsolidated entity. The Company could be exposed to claims made by the PRC customers for the return of their deposits at the Tianjin Takung's restricted cash accounts.

Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

Due to the loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, approximately 100,890 options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the continuing operations. For the net income from a deconsolidated entity, $86,831 for the year 2020, a weighted average of potential common stock to be issued, 99,289 shares, was included in the calculation of diluted earnings from a deconsolidated entity per share if all options were exercised and converted into common stock.

As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding stock options and no other securities that would potentially be converted to additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

#### TAKUNG ART CO., LTD AND SUBSIDIARIES

#### NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The company's subsidiary, Takung Cultural Development (Tianjin) Co., Ltd ("Tianjin Takung") was deconsolidated as a result of a loss of control over Tianjin Takung as discussed in Note 3.

The following unaudited consolidated condensed pro forma financial statements ("pro forma financial statements") are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of Takung Art Co., Ltd and Subsidiaries ("Takung"), adjusted to reflect the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung and reclassification of Hong Kong Takung to a discontinued operation. Tianjin Takung will be deconsolidated from the Takung's consolidated financial statements prospectively. Subsequent to the deconsolidation, we will derecognize our investment in Tianjin Takung, which is reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited consolidated condensed pro forma balance sheet ("pro forma balance sheet").

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 gives effect to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung and reclassification of Hong Kong Takung from a continuing operation to a discontinued operation as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2019, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 gives effect to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung and discontinued operation of Hong Kong Takung as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020.

The pro forma consolidated financial information has not been audited and has been furnished for informational purposes only. The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Discontinued operations</u></u>

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 205 "Presentation of Financial Statements" Subtopic 20-45, in determining whether any of its business component(s) classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale or other than by sale is required to be reported in discontinued operations. In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20-45-1, a discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or non-profit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff).

Due to the suspension of the operation of Tianjin Takung by the local authority in the fourth quarter of 2021, Hong Kong Takung lost its control over Tianjin Takung. The Company plans to dispose Hong Kong Takung, and is actively seeking buyers for Hong Kong Takung and related operations in order to focus on its blockchain and NFT business operation. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was classified as a discontinued operation and as of December 31, 2021, the operation Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was presented in discontinued operations.

<u><u>Deconsolidation</u></u>

Under the ASC Subtopic 810-10-40, "Consolidation-Overall-Derecognition", a reporting entity will deconsolidate a subsidiary in the period when the loss of control over such subsidiary incurred as a result of one or more of the following events: (i) a parent sells all or part of its ownership interest in its subsidiary; (ii) the expiration of a contractual agreement that gave control of the subsidiary to the parent; (iii) the subsidiary issues shares which reduces the parent's ownership interest in the subsidiary to an extent that the parent no longer has a controlling financial interest in such subsidiary; (iv) the subsidiary becomes subject to the control of a government, court, administrator, or regulator.

Due to the suspension of the operation of Tianjin Takung by the local authority. The financial information of Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated as of December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Fair value measurements</u></u>

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements", for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined 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. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Comprehensive loss</u></u>

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 220 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company's comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustment.

<u><u>Foreign currency translation and transaction</u></u>

The functional currency of Metaverse Payment, Hong Kong Takung, Hong Kong MQ and Tianjin Takung are the Hong Kong Dollar ("HKD"); NFT Digital and NFT Exchange are the United States Dollar ("USD")

The reporting currency of the Company is USD.

Transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on re-translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company's assets and liabilities with functional currency of HKD are expressed in USD at the exchange rate on the balance sheet's dates, which is 7.8472 and 7.7996 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively;

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheets.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Restricted cash</u></u>

Restricted cash represents the cash deposited by the NFT traders into a specific bank account under Takung ("the broker's account") in order to facilitate the trading of NFT in our online NFT platform. After the user's registration is successful, the customer deposits must be transferred to the designated account of the platform through the bank account added by the user before the transaction starts, and a transfer application is submitted on the platform, which can enter the buyer's platform account after financial review. Except for instructing the bank to deduct the commission, Takung has no right to use any funds in the broker's account. Our restricted cash is denominated in USD. As of June 30, 2022, the ending balance of our restricted cash was $4,645,449.

<u><u>Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts</u></u>

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the assessment of various factors, including historical, experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers' ability to pay.

<u><u>Prepayment and other current assets, net</u></u>

Prepayment and other current assets mainly consist of the prepayment for income taxes, maintenance of online trading system, advertising and promotional services, insurances, financial advisory, professional services, rental deposits, as well as other current assets.

<u><u>Property and equipment, net</u></u>

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income or expense. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service.

The Company developed systems and solutions for solely internal use. Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software are capitalized. Unamortized capitalized costs are included in computer trading and clearing system, within property and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software of 5 years. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets' estimated residual value:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **Classification** | **Estimated useful life** |
|  Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 years |
|  Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the remaining lease terms and the estimated 3 years |
|  Computer trading and clearing system | 5 years |

---

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Long-lived</u> <u>assets</u></u>

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of these long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.

During 2021, we recorded $16.5million in asset impairments due to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung as a result of the loss of control in this entity. Please refer to Note 6 for details. In addition, we determined that the future undiscounted cash flow was less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge of $1,333,506 for twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and a further charge of $6,265,686 for six months ended June 30, 2022 against our non-marketable investment. Please refer to Note 5 for details.

<u><u>Intangible assets</u></u>

Intangible assets represent the licensing cost for the trademark registration. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. For intangible assets with definite lives, they are amortized over estimated useful lives, and are reviewed annually for impairment. The Company has not recorded impairment of intangible assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Advance from customers</u></u>

Advance from customers represent the cash deposited by the traders into a specific bank account under Takung ("the broker's account") in order to facilitate the trading ownership units of the NFT. The traders are required to have their funds transferred to the broker's account before the trading take place.

<u><u>Revenue Recognition</u></u>

Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to the traders. Revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the traders.

Our discontinued operations generated revenue from its services in connection with the offering and trading of artworks on the Company's legacy online trading system primarily consisted of listing fee, commission fee and management fee.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

*Listing fee*

The Company recognizes the listing fee revenue at a point in time when the ownership units of the artwork are listed and available for trading on the Company's system, at an amount of an agreed percentage of the total offering price. The amount is collected from the money raised from the issuance of such units.

*Commission*

The Company generates commission fee from non-VIP traders and selected traders.

For non-VIP traders, the commission is calculated based on a percentage of transaction value of artworks when there is purchase and sale of the ownership shares of the artworks. The commission revenue is recognized at a point in time when each purchase and sale transaction is completed.

For selected traders, starting from April 1, 2016, the Company charged a predetermined monthly commission fee which allows the selected traders to conduct unlimited trades for specific artworks. The commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the Company continuously satisfied its performance obligation.

*Management fee*

The Company provides custody and insurance service for artworks listed and traded on the Company's platform. Management fee is calculated at a rate of $0.0013 (HK$0.01) per 100 artwork units per day. The management fee is recognized and is deducted from proceeds from the sale of artwork ownership shares when there is a purchase and sale transaction. A discount program is offered to waive the management fee during certain promotion periods. Such discounts are recognized as a reduction of the revenue.

Beginning in the fourth quarter 2021, we introduced consultancy service and setup NFT business through our subsidiaries, NFT Exchange and NFT Digital. In early May 2022, we launched a NFT trading platform at *www.nftoeo.com*. Through the new NFT platform, we introduced three main revenue categories: (i) Listing fee, (ii) Commission, and (iii) Management fee.

<u><u>Cost of revenue</u></u>

The Company's cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses associated with the delivery of its service of our continued operations. These include expenses related to the operation of the data centers, such as facility and lease of the server equipment, development and maintenance of the platform system, as well as the cost of insurance, storage and transportation of the artworks. Cost of revenue also includes commission paid to service agent.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The contract liabilities are the Company's obligation to transfer services to traders for which the Company has received consideration from the traders. All contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within one month and are presented in Advance from Customers in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

<u><u>Leases</u></u>

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Leases (ASC Topic 842), which amends the leases requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new lease accounting standard, a lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases, and enhances the disclosure requirements. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating leases.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The lease payments under the lease arrangements are fixed. Non-lease components include payments for building management, utilities and property tax. It separates the non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate.

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company's incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancellable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

<u><u>Income taxes</u></u>

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.

The Company accounts for an unrecognized tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company considers and estimates interest and penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits and includes as part of its income tax provision based on the applicable income tax regulations.

The Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Earnings (loss) per share</u></u>

Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

<u><u>Concentration of risks</u></u>

*Concentration of credit risk*

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, account receivables. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. Account receivables primarily comprise of amounts receivable from the trader customers. With respect to the prepayment to service suppliers, the Company performs on-going credit evaluations of the financial condition of these suppliers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific service providers and other information.

*Concentration of customers*

There were no revenues from customers that individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

*Concentration of customer deposits*

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no traders that individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total customer deposits.

<u><u>Accounting standards adopted on January 1, 2021</u></u>

***Income Taxes:*** On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance amends ASC Topic 740 and addresses several aspects including 1) evaluation of step-up tax basis of goodwill when there is not a business combination, 2) policy election to not allocate consolidated taxes on a separate entity basis to entities not subject to income tax, 3) accounting for tax law changes or rates during interim periods, 4) ownership changes from equity method investment to subsidiary or vice versa, 5) elimination of exception to intraperiod allocation when there is gain in discontinued operations and a loss from continuing operations, 6) treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The Company adopted ASU2019-12 effective January 1, 2021.

<u><u>Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted</u></u>

***Financial Instruments — Credit Losses:*** In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)." This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements, particularly its recognition of allowances for accounts receivable.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

**5. INVESTMENTS**

We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. This guidance requires us to measure all equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method or result in consolidation at fair value and recognize any changes in net income. For equity investments with readily determinable and observable fair values, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of equity securities. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method classified as trading are not assessed for impairment, since they are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in net income. Similarly, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, equity investment classified as trading was not tested for impairment.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**5. INVESTMENTS** (cont.)

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, we assess the fair value compared to our cost basis in the investment. We also perform this assessment every reporting period for each investment for which our cost basis has exceeded the fair value.

For investments in privately-held companies, management's assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flows, estimates of revenue and appraisals, as applicable. We consider and apply the assumptions that we believe market participants would use in evaluating estimated future cash flows when utilizing the discounted cash flow or estimates of revenue valuation methodologies. In the event the fair value of an investment declines below our cost basis, management determines if the decline in fair value is other than temporary and records an impairment accordingly.

As of December 31, 2021, our investment merely includes a non-marketable investment in a privately held company incorporated in British Virgin Islands without readily determinable market values. We elected the measurement alternative under which we measured the investment at cost minus impairment with an adjustment to the changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the similar investments of the same issuer.

Management considered market conditions as the result of the global pandemic and other global macroeconomic conditions and the potential impact on the value of the Company's investment; accordingly, management conducted a review of each of its investments. After its review management determined that the future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge, $7,599,192 against our non-marketable investment. Management estimated future revenues and costs, and the related cash flows regarding this investment, as well as applying assumptions regarding the proper inputs into the weighted average cost of capital which included the consideration of comparable market participants and the Company's own capital structure in developing a discounted flow model to determine an update carrying value for the private-held investment.

The carrying value is measured as the total initial cost minus impairment. The carrying value for our non-marketable investment is summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,<br>2022** | **December 31,<br>2021** |
|  Total initial cost | $10630120 | $10630120 |
|  Cumulative net gain (loss) |  |  |
|  Provision for impairment | (7599192) | (1333506) |
|  Total carrying value | $3030928 | $9296614 |

---

We recorded an unrealized loss in connection with the non-marketable investment, a further impairment loss of $6,265,686 was recognized for six months ended June 30, 2022.

**6. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS**

Our subsidiary, Hong Kong Takung, recorded an asset impairment charge of $16,538,781, as a result of the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung due to the loss of control of Tianjin Takung in the fourth quarter of 2021. Hong Kong Takung considered the receivables from Tianjin Takung to be uncollectible and wrote off its investment in Tianjin Takung. These charges have been included in the net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of the June 30, 2022, we did not incur additional receivable balances nor impairments.

**10. INCOME TAXES**

Takung, NFT Exchange and NFT Digital were incorporated in the State of Delaware, Wyoming and New York, respectively; therefore, are subject to United States income tax. Metaverse Payment, Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ were incorporated in Hong Kong S.A.R. and are subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Tianjin Takung was incorporated in the PRC and is subject to the Enterprise Tax.

*United States of America*

Takung, NFT Exchange and NFT Digital are subject to the U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes. The federal corporate income tax rate is 21%. Corporate entities are required to file state income taxes in accordance with the applicable state corporate income regulations.

*Hong Kong*

*Two-tier Profits Tax Rates*

The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 ("the Ordinance") of Hong Kong became effective for the assessment year 2018/2019. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD 2 million (approximately $257,311) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%. The Ordinance only allows one entity within a group of "connected entities" is eligible for the two-tier tax rate benefit. An entity is a connected entity of another entity if (1) one of them has control over the other; (2) both of them are under the control (more than 50% of the issued share capital) of the same entity; (3) in the case of the first entity being a natural person carrying on a sole proprietorship business-the other entity is the same person carrying on another sole proprietorship business. Since Hong Kong Takung, Takung Art Holdings and Hong Kong MQ are wholly owned and under the control of Takung U.S, these entities are connected entities. Under the Ordinance, it is an entity's election to nominate the entity that will be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates on its profits tax return. The election is irrevocable. The Company elected Hong Kong Takung to be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates.

The provision for current income and deferred taxes of Hong Kong Takung has been calculated by applying the new tax rate of 8.25%. Hong Kong MQ still apply the original tax rate of 16.5% for its provision for current income and deferred taxes.

*PRC*

In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, a company registered in the PRC is subject to income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on taxable income. All the PRC subsidiaries were subject to income tax at a rate of 25%.

*Uncertain tax positions*

The reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,<br>2022** | **December 31,<br>2021** |
|  Uncertain tax liabilities, beginning of period | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— | $101789 |
|  Settlements with tax authority during current year |  | (101789) |
|  Uncertain tax liabilities, end of period | $— | $— |

---

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the respective jurisdictions, where applicable. The statute of limitations for the tax returns varies by jurisdictions.

The amounts of uncertain tax liabilities listed above are based on the recognition and measurement criteria of ASC Topic 740, and the balance is presented as current liability in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company anticipated that the settlements with the taxing authority are remitted within one year.

Our policy is to include interest and penalty charges related to uncertain tax liabilities as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company has a liability for accrued interest of $nil as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our discontinued operation, Hong Kong Takung, was selected for routine examination for its tax years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 by Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department ("IRD") during the fiscal year ended 2020. The examination had been concluded in May 2021 and the ultimate resolution of the tax examination concurred with the uncertain tax liabilities previously accrued. Hong Kong Takung settled the entire tax liabilities in June 2021. The Company does not expect the position of uncertain tax liabilities will significantly fluctuate within the next twelve months.

The statute of limitations for the Internal Revenue Services to assess the income tax returns on a taxpayer expires three years from the due date of the profits tax return or the date on which it was filed, whichever is later.

In accordance with the Hong Kong profits tax regulations, a tax assessment by the IRD may be initiated within six years after the relevant year of assessment, but extendable to 10 years in the case of potential willful underpayment or evasion.

In accordance with PRC Tax Administration Law on the Levying and Collection of Taxes, the PRC tax authorities generally have up to five years to assess underpaid tax plus penalties and interest for PRC entities' tax filings. In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation. Accordingly, the PRC entities remain subject to examination by the tax authorities based on the above.

**11. LEASES**

In May 2022, we launched our blockchain NFT online platform at *www.nftoeo.com*.

#### NFT Market Insights
Digital artwork based on NFT technology is becoming a hot asset. The earliest NFT projects can be traced back to the 2017 bull market CryptoKitties (the encrypted cats), which had the properties of scarcity and value anchoring of ownership. At its peak, a virtual cat could sell for more than $100,000. In terms of NFT artwork, in March 2021, artist Beeple's NFT work "Every Day: The First 5,000 Days" sold for $69.346 million, making it the third-highest price for a living artist. According to a report by Invezz, the NFT market was worth $338 million in 2020, and it has grown to reach $490 million in 2021. With the help of the bull market wave, NFT has grown rapidly., As of the first quarter of 2021, the total transaction volume of the NFT market has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars, an increase of more than 2627% from the previous quarter. In April 2021, the total market value of NFTs exceeded $30 billion for the first time, setting a new all-time high. Currently, NFTs can be used in the fields including games, artworks, domain names, insurance, collectibles, virtual assets, real assets, identities, etc. With the vigorous development of the digital world, many businesses will appear in the form of digital original ecology, and the huge application space and technological imagination of NFT are expected to become more and more attractive in the new digital economy world.

The Coinbase platform has an active population of 50,000 users. The service rates for each service are as follows: 1. Rarible's minting fees are borne by the creators themselves, and the royalties are also set by the creators themselves, with default amounts of 10%, 20% and 30%. 2. VIV3's NFT minting costs and profits come from the 12.5% service fee it collects on the first and second sales. 3. OpenSea does not need gas fee to mint NFT. 4. Rarible charges a 2.5% service fee on the first sale. On the SuperRare platform, a 15% commission is charged on the first sale and a 3% fee (paid by the buyer) is charged on the second sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(i) Listing fee revenue*

Listing fee revenue is calculated based on a percentage of the listing value and transaction value of artworks.

Listing value is the total offering price of an artwork when the ownership units are initially listed on our trading platform. We utilize an appraised value as a basis to determine the appropriate listing value for each artwork, or portfolio of artworks. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, listing fee was $557,094 and $nil from discontinued and continued operations respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(ii) Commission fee revenue*

For non-VIP Traders, the commission revenue was calculated based on a percentage of transaction value of artworks, which we charge trading commissions for the purchase and sale of the ownership shares of the artworks. The commission is typically 5% of the total amount of each transaction. The commission is accounted for as revenue and immediately deducted from the proceeds from the sales of artwork units when a transaction is completed.

The Company also seeks to negotiate and extend financing arrangements with the related party and the third party.

The Company is aware of events or uncertainties which may affect its future liquidity because of capital controls in the PRC. The RMB is only currently convertible under the "current account," which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the "capital account," which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries or variable interest entities. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries, which are wholly-foreign owned enterprises, may purchase foreign currency for settlement of "current account transactions," including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. The existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our shares of common stock. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our PRC subsidiaries.

Applicable PRC law permits payment of dividends to us by our operating subsidiaries in China only out of their net income, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our operating subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their net income, if any, each year to fund general reserves for appropriations until such reserves have reached 50% of the subsidiary's registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, registered share capital and capital reserve accounts are also restricted from withdrawal in the PRC, up to the amount of net assets held in each operating subsidiary. In contrast, there is no foreign exchange control or restrictions on capital flows into and out of Hong Kong. Hence, our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is able to transfer cash without any limitation to the U.S. under normal circumstances.

If our operating subsidiaries were to incur additional debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict the ability of our operating subsidiaries to transfer cash to our U.S. investors.

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 205 "Presentation of Financial Statements" Subtopic 20-45, in determining whether any of its business component(s) classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale or other than by sale is required to be reported in discontinued operations. In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20-45-1, a discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or non-profit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff).

<u><u>Fair value measurements</u></u>

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements", for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined 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. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Comprehensive loss</u></u>

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on re-translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company's assets and liabilities with functional currency of HKD are expressed in USD at the exchange rate on the balance sheet's dates, which is 7.8510 and 7.7996 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively;

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheets.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

<u><u>Restricted cash</u></u>

Restricted cash represents the cash deposited by the NFT traders into a specific bank account under Takung ("the broker's account") in order to facilitate the trading of NFT in our online NFT platform. After the user's registration is successful, the customer deposits must be transferred to the designated account of the platform through the bank account added by the user before the transaction starts, and a transfer application is submitted on the platform, which can enter the buyer's platform account after financial review. Except for instructing the bank to deduct the commission, Takung has no right to use any funds in the broker's account. Our restricted cash is denominated in USD. As of September 30, 2022, the ending balance of our restricted cash was $3,239,525.

<u><u>Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts</u></u>

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the assessment of various factors, including historical, experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers' ability to pay.

<u><u>Prepayment and other current assets, net</u></u>

Prepayment and other current assets mainly consist of the prepayment for income taxes, maintenance of online trading system, advertising and promotional services, insurances, financial advisory, professional services, rental deposits, as well as other current assets.

<u><u>Property and equipment, net</u></u>

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income or expense. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service.

The Company developed systems and solutions for solely internal use. Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software are capitalized. Unamortized capitalized costs are included in computer trading and clearing system, within property and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software of 5 years. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets' estimated residual value:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  **Classification** | **Estimated useful life** |
|  Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 5 years |
|  Leasehold improvements | Shorter of the remaining lease terms and the estimated 3 years |
|  Computer trading and clearing system | 5 years |

---

<u><u>Long-lived</u> <u>assets</u></u>

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of these long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

During 2021, we recorded $16.5million in asset impairments due to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung as a result of the loss of control in this entity. Please refer to Note 6 for details. In addition, we determined that the future undiscounted cash flow was less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge of $1,333,506 for twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and a further charge of $6,265,686 for nine months ended September 30, 2022 against our non-marketable investment. Please refer to Note 5 for details.

<u><u>Intangible assets</u></u>

Intangible assets represent the licensing cost for the trademark registration. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. For intangible assets with definite lives, they are amortized over estimated useful lives, and are reviewed annually for impairment. The Company has not recorded impairment of intangible assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Advance from customers</u></u>

Advance from customers represent the cash deposited by the traders into a specific bank account under Takung ("the broker's account") in order to facilitate the trading ownership units of the NFT. The traders are required to have their funds transferred to the broker's account before the trading take place.

<u><u>Revenue Recognition</u></u>

Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to the traders. Revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the traders.

Our discontinued operations generated revenue from its services in connection with the offering and trading of artworks on the Company's legacy online trading system primarily consisted of listing fee, commission fee and management fee.

*Listing fee*

The Company recognizes the listing fee revenue at a point in time when the ownership units of the artwork are listed and available for trading on the Company's system, at an amount of an agreed percentage of the total offering price. The amount is collected from the money raised from the issuance of such units.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

*Commission*

The Company generates commission fee from non-VIP traders and selected traders.

For non-VIP traders, the commission is calculated based on a percentage of transaction value of artworks when there is purchase and sale of the ownership shares of the artworks. The commission revenue is recognized at a point in time when each purchase and sale transaction is completed.

For selected traders, starting from April 1, 2016, the Company charged a predetermined monthly commission fee which allows the selected traders to conduct unlimited trades for specific artworks. The commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the Company continuously satisfied its performance obligation.

*Management fee*

The Company provides custody and insurance service for artworks listed and traded on the Company's platform. Management fee is calculated at a rate of $0.0013 (HK$0.01) per 100 artwork units per day. The management fee is recognized and is deducted from proceeds from the sale of artwork ownership shares when there is a purchase and sale transaction. A discount program is offered to waive the management fee during certain promotion periods. Such discounts are recognized as a reduction of the revenue.

Beginning in the fourth quarter 2021, we introduced consultancy service and setup NFT business through our subsidiaries, NFT Exchange and NFT Digital. In early May 2022, we launched a NFT trading platform at *www.nftoeo.com*. Through the new NFT platform, we introduced three main revenue categories: (i) Listing fee, (ii) Commission, and (iii) Management fee.

<u><u>Cost of revenue</u></u>

The Company's cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses associated with the delivery of its service of our continued operations. These include expenses related to the operation of the data centers, such as facility and lease of the server equipment, development and maintenance of the platform system, as well as the cost of insurance, storage and transportation of the artworks. Cost of revenue also includes commission paid to service agent.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The contract liabilities are the Company's obligation to transfer services to traders for which the Company has received consideration from the traders. All contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within one month and are presented in Advance from Customers in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

<u><u>Leases</u></u>

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Leases (ASC Topic 842), which amends the leases requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new lease accounting standard, a lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases, and enhances the disclosure requirements. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The lease payments under the lease arrangements are fixed. Non-lease components include payments for building management, utilities and property tax. It separates the non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (cont.)

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company's incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancellable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

<u><u>Income taxes</u></u>

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.

The Company accounts for an unrecognized tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company considers and estimates interest and penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits and includes as part of its income tax provision based on the applicable income tax regulations.

The Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021.

<u><u>Earnings (loss) per share</u></u>

Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

<u><u>Concentration of risks</u></u>

*Concentration of credit risk*

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, account receivables. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. Account receivables primarily comprise of amounts receivable from the trader customers. With respect to the prepayment to service suppliers, the Company performs on-going credit evaluations of the financial condition of these suppliers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific service providers and other information.

*Concentration of customers*

There were no revenues from customers that individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

*Concentration of customer deposits*

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no traders that individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total customer deposits.

<u><u>Accounting standards adopted on January 1, 2021</u></u>

***Income Taxes:*** On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance amends ASC Topic 740 and addresses several aspects including 1) evaluation of step-up tax basis of goodwill when there is not a business combination, 2) policy election to not allocate consolidated taxes on a separate entity basis to entities not subject to income tax, 3) accounting for tax law changes or rates during interim periods, 4) ownership changes from equity method investment to subsidiary or vice versa, 5) elimination of exception to intraperiod allocation when there is gain in discontinued operations and a loss from continuing operations, 6) treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The Company adopted ASU2019-12 effective January 1, 2021.

<u><u>Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted</u></u>

***Financial Instruments — Credit Losses:*** In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)." This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements, particularly its recognition of allowances for accounts receivable.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

**5. INVESTMENTS**

We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. This guidance requires us to measure all equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method or result in consolidation at fair value and recognize any changes in net income. For equity investments with readily determinable and observable fair values, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of equity securities. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method classified as trading are not assessed for impairment, since they are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in net income. Similarly, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, equity investment classified as trading was not tested for impairment.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

**5. INVESTMENTS** (cont.)

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, we assess the fair value compared to our cost basis in the investment. We also perform this assessment every reporting period for each investment for which our cost basis has exceeded the fair value.

For investments in privately-held companies, management's assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flows, estimates of revenue and appraisals, as applicable. We consider and apply the assumptions that we believe market participants would use in evaluating estimated future cash flows when utilizing the discounted cash flow or estimates of revenue valuation methodologies. In the event the fair value of an investment declines below our cost basis, management determines if the decline in fair value is other than temporary and records an impairment accordingly.

As of December 31, 2021, our investment merely includes a non-marketable investment in a privately held company incorporated in British Virgin Islands without readily determinable market values. We elected the measurement alternative under which we measured the investment at cost minus impairment with an adjustment to the changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the similar investments of the same issuer.

Management considered market conditions as the result of the global pandemic and other global macroeconomic conditions and the potential impact on the value of the Company's investment; accordingly, management conducted a review of each of its investments. After its review management determined that the future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge, $7,599,192 against our non-marketable investment. Management estimated future revenues and costs, and the related cash flows regarding this investment, as well as applying assumptions regarding the proper inputs into the weighted average cost of capital which included the consideration of comparable market participants and the Company's own capital structure in developing a discounted flow model to determine an update carrying value for the private-held investment.

The carrying value is measured as the total initial cost minus impairment. The carrying value for our non-marketable investment is summarized below:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, 2022** | **December 31, 2021** |
|  | (Unaudited) | |

|  Total carrying value | $3030928 | $9296614 |

**10. INCOME TAXES** (cont.)

*Uncertain tax positions*

The reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **September 30, <br>2022** | **December 31, <br>2021** |
|  | (Unaudited) | |
|  Uncertain tax liabilities, beginning of period | $— | $101789 |
|  Settlements with tax authority during current year |  | (101789) |
|  Uncertain tax liabilities, end of period | $— | $— |

---

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the respective jurisdictions, where applicable. The statute of limitations for the tax returns varies by jurisdictions.

The amounts of uncertain tax liabilities listed above are based on the recognition and measurement criteria of ASC Topic 740, and the balance is presented as current liability in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company anticipated that the settlements with the taxing authority are remitted within one year.

Our policy is to include interest and penalty charges related to uncertain tax liabilities as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company has a liability for accrued interest of $nil as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our discontinued operation, Hong Kong Takung, was selected for routine examination for its tax years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 by Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department ("IRD") during the fiscal year ended 2020. The examination had been concluded in May 2021 and the ultimate resolution of the tax examination concurred with the uncertain tax liabilities previously accrued. Hong Kong Takung settled the entire tax liabilities in September 2021. The Company does not expect the position of uncertain tax liabilities will significantly fluctuate within the next twelve months.

The statute of limitations for the Internal Revenue Services to assess the income tax returns on a taxpayer expires three years from the due date of the profits tax return or the date on which it was filed, whichever is later.

In accordance with the Hong Kong profits tax regulations, a tax assessment by the IRD may be initiated within six years after the relevant year of assessment, but extendable to 10 years in the case of potential willful underpayment or evasion.

In accordance with PRC Tax Administration Law on the Levying and Collection of Taxes, the PRC tax authorities generally have up to five years to assess underpaid tax plus penalties and interest for PRC entities' tax filings. In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation. Accordingly, the PRC entities remain subject to examination by the tax authorities based on the above.

#### NFT Market Insights
Digital artwork based on NFT technology is becoming a hot asset. The earliest NFT projects can be traced back to the 2017 bull market CryptoKitties (the encrypted cats), which had the properties of scarcity and value anchoring of ownership. At its peak, a virtual cat could sell for more than $100,000. In terms of NFT artwork, in March 2021, artist Beeple's NFT work "Every Day: The First 5,000 Days" sold for $69.346 million, making it the third-highest price for a living artist. According to a report by Invezz, the NFT market was worth $338 million in 2020, and it has grown to reach $490 million in 2021. With the help of the bull market wave, NFT has grown rapidly., As of the first quarter of 2021, the total transaction volume of the NFT market has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars, an increase of more than 2627% from the previous quarter. In April 2021, the total market value of NFTs exceeded $30 billion for the first time, setting a new all-time high. Currently, NFTs can be used in the fields including games, artworks, domain names, insurance, collectibles, virtual assets, real assets, identities, etc. With the vigorous development of the digital world, many businesses will appear in the form of digital original ecology, and the huge application space and technological imagination of NFT are expected to become more and more attractive in the new digital economy world.

Rarible's minting fees are borne by the creators themselves, and the royalties are also set by the creators themselves, with default amounts of 10%, 20% and 30%. 2. VIV3's NFT minting costs and profits come from the 12.5% service fee it collects on the first and second sales. 3. OpenSea does not need gas fee to mint NFT. 4. Rarible charges a 2.5% service fee on the first sale. On the SuperRare platform, a 15% commission is charged on the first sale and a 3% fee (paid by the buyer) is charged on the second sale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(i) Listing fee revenue*

Listing fee revenue is calculated based on a percentage of the listing value and transaction value of artworks.

Listing value is the total offering price of an artwork when the ownership units are initially listed on our trading platform. We utilize an appraised value as a basis to determine the appropriate listing value for each artwork, or portfolio of artworks. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, listing fee was $320,173 and $nil from discontinued and continued operations respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(ii) Commission fee revenue*

For non-VIP Traders, the commission revenue was calculated based on a percentage of transaction value of artworks, which we charge trading commissions for the purchase and sale of the ownership shares of the artworks. The commission is typically 5% of the total amount of each transaction. The commission is accounted for as revenue and immediately deducted from the proceeds from the sales of artwork units when a transaction is completed.

Commission revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022 was $1,083,976 and $1,634,960 from discontinued and continued operations respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(iii) Management fee revenue*

Our legacy online trading platform from discontinued operations charges Traders a management fee to cover the costs of insurance, storage, and transportation for an artwork and trading management of artwork units. The management fee is recognized when the artwork is sold and is deducted from proceeds from the sale of artwork ownership shares when there is a purchase and sale transaction.

Our operations did not generate management fee revenue from our legacy trading platform for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and had $1,124,528 for the three months ended September,30, 2021.

The Company also seeks to negotiate and extend financing arrangements with the related party and the third party.

The Company is aware of events or uncertainties which may affect its future liquidity because of capital controls in the PRC. The RMB is only currently convertible under the "current account," which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the "capital account," which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries or variable interest entities. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries, which are wholly-foreign owned enterprises, may purchase foreign currency for settlement of "current account transactions," including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange ("SAFE") by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. The existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our shares of common stock. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our PRC subsidiaries.

Applicable PRC law permits payment of dividends to us by our operating subsidiaries in China only out of their net income, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our operating subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their net income, if any, each year to fund general reserves for appropriations until such reserves have reached 50% of the subsidiary's registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, registered share capital and capital reserve accounts are also restricted from withdrawal in the PRC, up to the amount of net assets held in each operating subsidiary. In contrast, there is no foreign exchange control or restrictions on capital flows into and out of Hong Kong. Hence, our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is able to transfer cash without any limitation to the U.S. under normal circumstances.

If our operating subsidiaries were to incur additional debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict the ability of our operating subsidiaries to transfer cash to our U.S. investors.

#### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, and credit risk support or other benefits.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

#### Future Financings
We may sell our common stock in order to fund our business growth. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our growth in case it is necessary, or if we are able to do so, there is no guarantee that existing shareholders will not be substantially diluted.

#### Critical Accounting Policies
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to make budgetary and financial statement assumptions. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. The discussion of our critical accounting policies contained in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", is incorporated herein by reference.

#### Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The discussion of the recent accounting pronouncements contained in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", is incorporated herein by reference.

#### Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Not applicable.

#### Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

#### Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, which presently comprises our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kwok Leung Paul Li, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kuangtao Wang and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Jianguang Qian. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. Assumed that all of the conditions required to implement the Transaction will be satisfied and that the Transaction will be completed in accordance with the Transaction Documents without any amendments thereto or any waivers of any terms or conditions thereof, and in a manner that complies in all material respects with all applicable laws; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. Assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any undue delay, limitation, restriction or

condition that would have a material effect on the Targets or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the Transaction.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this report is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this report cannot and should not be relied upon for any purpose. Furthermore, in Access Partner's analysis and in connection with the preparation of this report, Access Partner has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Transaction and as to which Access Partner does not express any view or opinion in this report, including as to the reasonableness of such assumptions.

Access Partner has prepared this report effective as of the date hereof. This report is necessarily based upon the information made available to Access Partner as of the date hereof and market, economic, financial and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof, and Access Partner disclaims any undertaking or obligation to

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting this report which may come or be brought to the attention of Access Partner after the date hereof or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. update, revise or reaffirm this report after the date hereof. For the purpose of our review, we were provided with the information prepared by the Valuer. The review required the consideration of all relevant factors including, but not limited to, the following:

Access Partner did not estimate, and expresses no opinion regarding, the liquidation value of any entity or business. Access Partner has not been requested to, and did not,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Transaction, the assets, businesses or operations of the Targets or any alternatives to the Transaction,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. negotiate the terms of the Transaction, and therefore, Access Partner has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from the Company's perspective, that could, under the circumstances, reasonably be negotiated among the parties to the Transaction Documents and the Transaction, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. advise the Board or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Transaction. Access Partner did not undertake an independent analysis of any potential or actual litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Targets are or may be parties or are or may be subject, or of any governmental investigation of any possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities to which the Targets are or may be parties or is or may be subject.

Access Partner is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the Targets' equity (or anything else) after the announcement or the consummation of the Transaction (or any other time). Our opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Targets credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Access Partner has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter. Access Partner expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability in this regard.

In rendering this report, Access Partner is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the Targets' officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Transaction, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. In addition, this report does not address the fairness to, or any other consideration of, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Targets, other than the Consideration to be received by the Company.

This report is furnished solely for the use and benefit of the Board in connection with its consideration of the Transaction and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Access Partner prior written consent.

Our Opinion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i. does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii. does not address any transaction related to the Transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii. is not a recommendation as to how the Board, the Company, or any other person should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Transaction or any related transaction, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv. does not indicate that the Consideration is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the Consideration is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which the Valuation Report is based. This report should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Access Partner to any party.

This report is confidential, and its use and disclosure are strictly limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the engagement letter.

**5. APPROACH TO THE EVALUATION OF FAIRNESS**

In reviewing the Transaction in terms of fairness from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company, Access Partner's considerations included the Transaction consideration relative to our assessment of value based on the valuation and financial review procedures described herein.

**6. FAIRNESS CONCLUSION**

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, Access Partner is of the opinion that as of the date hereof, the Consideration to be received by the Company in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of the Company. This report has been approved by the authorized committee of Access Partner.

We hereby confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Company, the Valuer, or the value reported herein.

Yours faithfully,

Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this <u>Section 9.4</u>) arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a "***Dispute***") shall be governed by this <u>Section 9.4</u>. A party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other parties subject to such Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the notice of such Dispute being received by such other parties subject to such Dispute; the "***Resolution Period***"); <u>provided</u>, that if any Dispute would reasonably be expected to have become moot or otherwise irrelevant if not decided within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Dispute, then there shall be no Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved during the Resolution Period may immediately be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "***AAA Procedures***") of the American Arbitration Association (the "***AAA***"). Any party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period. To the extent that the AAA Procedures and this Agreement are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

The arbitrator shall accept his or her appointment and begin the arbitration process promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after his or her nomination and acceptance by the parties subject to the Dispute. The proceedings shall be streamlined and efficient. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the State of New York. Time is of the essence. Each party shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within twenty (20) days after confirmation of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to order any party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided, that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant party (or parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator's reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in New York County, State of New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.4 仲裁。因本协议或本协议所设想的交易而产生的、与之相关的或与之有关的任何及所有争议、纠纷和索赔（不包括申请临时禁止令、初步禁止令、永久禁止令或其他公平救济或申请执行本第9.4节规定的决议）（"争议"）应受本第9.4节管辖。一方必须在第一时间将任何争议书面通知给受该争议影响的其他各方，该通知必须对受争议影响的事项进行合理的详细描述。该争议所涉各方应在该争议所涉其他各方收到该争议通知后的十（10）个工作日内寻求友好解决该争议；"解决期"）；但如果任何争议在该争议发生后六十（60）天内不作决定，则合理地预期该争议将变得无意义或不相关，则该争议将没有解决期。任何在解决期内未得到解决的争议，可立即根据当时存在的美国仲裁协会（"AAA"）商业仲裁规则的快速程序（"AAA程序"）提交并最终通过仲裁解决。该争议所涉及的任何一方可以将争议提交给美国仲裁协会，以便在解决期限之后开始程序。如果AAA程序和本协议有冲突，应以本协议的条款为准。仲裁应在争议提交给AAA后迅速（但在任何情况下在五（5）个工作日内）由AAA提名的一名仲裁员进行，并为争议的每一方合理地接受，该仲裁员应是一名商业律师，在收购协议的争议方面具有丰富的仲裁经验。仲裁员应接受其任命，并在其被提名和被争议各方接受后迅速开始仲裁程序（但无论如何应在五（5）个营业日内）。仲裁程序应精简、高效。仲裁员应根据纽约州的实体法裁决争议。时间是关键。各方应在确认仲裁员任命后二十（20）天内向仲裁员提交解决争议的建议。仲裁员有权命令任何一方做或不做符合本协议、附属文件和适用法律的任何事情，包括履行其合同义务；但仲裁员应仅限于根据上述权力命令（为避免疑问，应命令）相关方（或各方，如适用）只遵守其中一个或另一个建议。仲裁员的裁决应是书面的，并应包括对仲裁员选择一种或另一种建议的理由的合理解释。仲裁地点应在纽约州的纽约县。仲裁的语言为英语。

Subject to <u>Section 9.4</u>, each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address set forth in <u>Section 9.1</u>. Nothing in this <u>Section 9.5</u> shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.5 管辖法律；管辖权。本协议应受纽约州法律的管辖，并根据其解释和执行，而不考虑其法律原则的冲突。根据第9.4条的规定，由本协议引起的或与本协议有关的所有诉讼应在位于纽约州纽约市的任何州或联邦法院（或可对这些法院提出上诉的任何法院）（"特定法院"）专门审理和裁决。根据第9.4的规定，本协议的每一方在此 (a)服从任何特定法院的专属管辖权，以处理本协议的任何一方提出的或与之相关的任何诉讼，以及 (b)不可撤销地放弃，并同意不以动议、辩护或其他方式在任何此类诉讼中主张。任何声称其本人不受上述法院的管辖，其财产被豁免或免于扣押或执行，该诉讼是在不方便的法院提起的，该诉讼的地点是不恰当的，或本协议或本协议所设想的交易可能不会在任何特定的法院强制执行。各方同意，任何诉讼的最终判决应是决定性的，并可在其他司法管辖区通过对判决的诉讼或法律规定的任何其他方式执行。每一方不可撤销地同意，在与本协议所设想的交易有关的任何其他诉讼或程序中，以其自身或其财产的名义，将传票和申诉以及任何其他程序的副本亲自送达第9.1节规定的该方的适用地址。本第9.5条的规定不影响任何一方以法律允许的任何其他方式送达法律程序的权利。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 <u>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL</u>. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 9.6</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.6 放弃陪审团审判。在适用法律允许的最大范围内，本协议各方在此放弃其对直接或间接产生于本协议或本协议所设想的交易的任何诉讼的陪审团审判的权利。本协议的每一方(a)证明，任何其他方的代表都没有明确或以其他方式表示，该其他方在发生任何诉讼时不会寻求执行上述放弃，并且(b)承认它和本协议的其他各方是在本节中的相互放弃和证明等因素的诱导下签订本协议。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 <u>Specific Performance</u>. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.7 具体执行。每一方都承认，每一方完成本协议所设想的交易的权利是独一无二的，承认并确认，如果任何一方违反本协议，金钱上的损失可能是不够的，非违约方可能没有足够的法律补救措施，并同意，如果本协议的任何条款没有被适用方按照其具体条款履行或被违反，将会发生不可弥补的损失。

Annex C-11

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

因此，每一方都有权寻求禁令或限制令，以防止违反本协议的行为，并寻求具体执行本协议的条款和规定，而不需要交纳任何保证金或其他担保，也不需要证明金钱损失是不够的，这是该方根据本协议、法律或衡平法可能享有的任何其他权利或补救措施的补充。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 <u>Severability</u>. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.8 可分割性。如果本协议中的任何条款在某一司法管辖区被认定为无效、非法或无法执行，那么就所涉及的司法管辖区而言，该条款应被修改或删除，但以使其有效、合法和可执行为限，本协议其余条款的有效性、合法性和可执行性不得以任何方式受到影响或损害，该条款的有效性、合法性或可执行性在任何其他司法管辖区不得受到影响。一旦确定任何条款或其他规定是无效的、非法的或无法执行的，双方将以适当和公平的规定来替代任何无效的、非法的或无法执行的规定，只要是有效的、合法的和可执行的，就可以实现该无效的、非法的或无法执行的规定的意图和目的。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9 <u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the Purchaser and the Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.9 修订。本协议只能通过买方和卖方签署的书面文件进行修订、补充或修改。

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.10 <u>Waiver</u>. The Purchaser on behalf of itself, the Targets on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and the Seller on behalf of itself, may in its sole discretion (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other non-Affiliated Party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such other non-Affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by such other non-Affiliated Party with any covenant or condition contained herein.

In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Board is hereby empowered to authorize by resolution or resolutions from time to time the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred shares and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, including, without limitation, the number of shares constituting each such class or series, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, voting powers, full or limited or no voting powers, and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease the size of any such class or series (but not below the number of shares of any class or series of preferred shares then outstanding) to the extent permitted by Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any class or series of preferred shares may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such class or series shall be superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the preferred shares of any other class or series.

5.2.

If shares are issued in the form of a physical share certificate, every share certificate shall be issued under the Seal or a facsimile thereof or with the Seal printed thereon and shall specify the number and class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the shares to which it relates, and the amount paid up thereon and may otherwise be in such form as the Directors may from time to time determine.

The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in any particular case or cases, that any signatures on any such certificates (or certificates in respect of other securities) need not be autographic but may be affixed to such certificates by some mechanical means or may be printed thereon. Alternatively, shares may be issued via book entry form evidenced by a Statement of Account duly maintained and recorded by the Company's transfer agent.

6.2. In the case of a share held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate therefor and delivery of a certificate to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders.

6.3. Where a share stands in the names of two or more persons, the person first named in the Register shall as regards service of notices and, subject to the provisions of these Articles, all or any other matters connected with the Company, except the transfer of the shares, be deemed the sole holder thereof.

6.4. Every person whose name is entered, upon an allotment of shares, as a Member in the Register shall be entitled, upon payment of such fee as the Directors may from time to time determine, to receive one certificate for all such shares of any one class or several certificates each for one or more of such shares of such class upon payment for every certificate of such fee as the Directors may from time to time determine.

6.5. Where applicable, share certificates shall be issued within the relevant time limit as prescribed by the Act or as the Designated Stock Exchange may from time to time determine, whichever is the shorter, after allotment or, except in the case of a transfer which the Company is for the time being entitled to refuse to register and does not register, after lodgment of a transfer with the Company.

6.6. Upon every transfer of shares the certificate (if any) held by the transferor shall be given up to be cancelled, and shall forthwith be cancelled accordingly, and, subject to Article 6.4, a new certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the shares transferred to him. If any of the shares included in the certificate so given up shall be retained by the transferor a new certificate for the balance shall be issued to him at the aforesaid fee payable by the transferor to the Company in respect thereof.

6.7. If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed a new certificate representing the same shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request and on payment of such fee as the Company may determine and, subject to compliance with such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of the costs and reasonable out of pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Board may think fit and, in case of damage or defacement, on delivery of the old certificate to the Company provided always that where share warrants have been issued, no new share warrant shall be issued to replace one that has been lost unless the Board has determined that the original has been destroyed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) without prejudice to the powers of the Board under Article 5, divide its shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which in the absence of any such determination by the Company in general meeting, as the Directors may determine provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, where a class of shares has been authorized by the Company no resolution of the Company in general meeting is required for the issuance of shares of that class and the Directors may issue shares of that class and determine such rights, privileges, conditions or restrictions attaching thereto as aforesaid, and further provided that where the Company issues shares which do not carry voting rights, the words "non voting" shall appear in the designation of such shares and where the equity capital includes shares with different voting rights, the designation of each class of shares, other than those with the most favourable voting rights, must include the words "restricted voting" or "limited voting";

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) subdivide its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Company's Memorandum of Association (subject, nevertheless, to the Act), and may by such resolution determine that, as between the holders of the shares resulting from such subdivision, one or more of the shares may have any such preferred, deferred or other rights or be subject to any such restrictions as compared with the other or others as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken, or agreed to be taken, by any person, and diminish the amount of its capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled or, in the case of shares, without par value, diminish the number of shares into which its capital is divided.

7.2. The Board may settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation and division under the last preceding Article and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares or arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to their purchaser or resolve that such net proceeds be paid to the Company for the Company's benefit. Such purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor will his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

7.3. The Company may from time to time by Special Resolution, subject to any confirmation or consent required by the Act, reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve or other undistributable reserve in any manner permitted by law.

7.4. Except so far as otherwise provided by the conditions of issue, or by these Articles, any capital raised by the creation of new shares shall be treated as if it formed part of the original capital of the Company, and such shares shall be subject to the provisions contained in these Articles

Without prejudice to the last preceding Article, the Board may also resolve, either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the transferor or transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof.

10.3. The Board may, in its absolute discretion, and without giving any reason therefor, refuse to register a transfer of any share made in accordance with Article 10.2 but only where such share is not a fully paid up share (and being transferred to a person of whom it does not approve), or any share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees or pursuant to any other agreement, contract or other such arrangement, upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists, and it may also, without prejudice to the foregoing generality, refuse to register a transfer of any share to more than four joint holders.

10.4. The Board in so far as permitted by any applicable law may, in its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time transfer any share upon the Register to any branch register or any share on any branch register to the Register or any other branch register. In the event of any such transfer, the shareholder requesting such transfer shall bear the cost of effecting the transfer unless the Board otherwise determines.

10.5. Unless the Board otherwise agrees (which agreement may be on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Board in its absolute discretion may from time to time determine, and which agreement the Board shall, without giving any reason therefore, be entitled in its absolute discretion to give or withhold), no shares upon the Register shall be transferred to any branch register nor shall shares on any branch register be transferred to the Register or any other branch register and all transfers and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration, and registered, in the case of any shares on a branch register, at the relevant Registration Office, and, in the case of any shares on the Register, at the Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Act.

10.6. Without limiting the generality of the last preceding Article, the Board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as the Board may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the instrument of transfer is lodged at the Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Act or the Registration Office (as the case may be) accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if applicable, the instrument of transfer is duly and properly stamped; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the transfer is not to more than four joint holders;

Annex D-10

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

10.7. If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share, it shall, within one month after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.

10.8. The registration of transfers of shares or of any class of shares may, on fourteen (14) days' calendar notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as the Board may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than thirty (30) calendar days in any year.

**11. transmission of registered shares**

11.1. In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member's interest in the shares. Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the provisions of Section 39 of the Act, for the purpose of this Article, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.

11.2. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share. If he elects to become the holder he shall notify the Company in writing either at the Registration Office or Office, as the case may be, to that effect. If he elects to have another person registered he shall execute a transfer of the share in favour of that person. The provisions of these Articles relating to the transfer and registration of transfers of shares shall apply to such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the Member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by such Member.

11.3. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of a Member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share. However, the Board may, if it thinks fit, withhold the payment of any dividend payable or other advantages in respect of such share until such person shall become the registered holder of the share or shall have effectually transferred such share, but, subject to the requirements of Article 17.12 being met, such a person may vote at meetings.

**12. Listed Shares**

12.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles, shares that are listed or admitted to trading on an approved stock exchange may be evidenced and transferred in accordance with the rules and regulations of such exchange.

**13. untraceable members**

13.1. Without prejudice to the rights of the Company under Article 13.2, the Company may cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants by post if such cheques or warrants have been left uncashed on two consecutive occasions. However, the Company may exercise the power to cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants after the first occasion on which such a cheque or warrant is returned undelivered.

13.2. The Company shall have the power to sell, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, any shares of a Member who is untraceable, but no such sale shall be made unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all cheques or warrants in respect of dividends of the shares in question, being not less than three in total number, for any sum payable in cash to the holder of such shares in respect of them sent during the relevant period in the manner authorised by the Articles have remained uncashed;

Annex D-11

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) so far as it is aware at the end of the relevant period, the Company has not at any time during the relevant period received any indication of the existence of the Member who is the holder of such shares or of a person entitled to such shares by death, bankruptcy or operation of law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company, if so required by the rules governing the listing of shares on the Designated Stock Exchange, has given notice to, and caused advertisement in newspapers to be made in accordance with the requirements of, the Designated Stock Exchange of its intention to sell such shares in the manner required by the Designated Stock Exchange, and a period of three (3) months or such shorter period as may be allowed by the Designated Stock Exchange has elapsed since the date of such advertisement.

For the purpose of the foregoing, the "relevant period" means the period commencing twelve (12) years before the date of publication of the advertisement referred to in paragraph (c) of this Article and ending at the expiry of the period referred to in that paragraph.

13.3. To give effect to any such sale the Board may authorise some person to transfer the said shares and an instrument of transfer signed or otherwise executed by or on behalf of such person shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered holder or the person entitled by transmission to such shares, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale. The net proceeds of the sale will belong to the Company and upon receipt by the Company of such net proceeds it shall become indebted to the former Member for an amount equal to such net proceeds. No trust shall be created in respect of such debt and no interest shall be payable in respect of it and the Company shall not be required to account for any money earned from the net proceeds which may be employed in the business of the Company or as it thinks fit. Any sale under this Article 13 shall be valid and effective notwithstanding that the Member holding the shares sold is dead, bankrupt or otherwise under any legal disability or incapacity.

**14. general meetings**

14.1. An annual general meeting of the Company shall be held in each year other than the year in which these Articles were adopted at such time and place as may be determined by the Board.

14.2. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be called an extraordinary general meeting. Extraordinary general meetings may be held at such times and in any location in the world as may be determined by the Board. To the extent that Members hold in aggregate less than thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding voting shares in the Company, they cannot:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Call general meetings or annual general meetings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Include matters for consideration at shareholder meetings.

14.3. Only a majority of the Board may call extraordinary general meetings, which extraordinary general meetings shall be held at such times and locations (as permitted hereby) as such person or persons shall determine.

14.4. The Board shall, on the requisition of Members holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of such of the paid-up share capital of the Company as at the date of the deposit carries the right to vote at general meetings, forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting. To be effective the requisition shall state the objects of the meeting, shall be in writing, signed by the requisitionists, and shall be deposited at the registered office. The requisition may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

14.5. If the Board does not, within twenty-one days from the date of the requisition, duly proceed to call an extraordinary general meeting, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene an extraordinary general meeting; but any meeting so called shall not be held more than ninety days after the requisition. An extraordinary general meeting called by requisitionists shall be called in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as that in which general meetings are to be called by the Board.

**15. NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING**

15.1. Any general meeting (whether an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting) may be called by not less than (i) ten (10) clear days' Notice in the case of an annual general meeting or (ii) fourteen (14) clear days' Notice in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, save that any such annual or extraordinary general meeting may be called by shorter notice, subject to the Act, if it is so agreed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the case of a meeting called as an annual general meeting, by all the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having the right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority together holding not less than ninety five per cent. (95%) in nominal value of the issued shares giving that right.

15.2. The Notice shall specify the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of the business to be conducted and further, in the case of any matter for which approval by Special Resolution shall be required, the intention to propose such a Special Resolution. The Notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such. Notice of every general meeting shall be given to all Members other than to such Members as, under the provisions of these Articles or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notices from the Company, to all persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or winding up of a Member and to each of the Directors and the Auditors.

15.3. A Member may give notice to the Company of business proposed to be brought before an annual general meeting provided that such notice of proposal of business must be delivered to, or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than ninety (90) days and not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year's annual general meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual general meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, such notice by the Member, to be timely, must be so delivered, or so mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90<sup>th</sup>) day prior to such annual general meeting or, if later, the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) day following the day on which "public disclosure" of the date of such meeting was first made by the Company (such notice within such time periods, "Timely Notice"). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual general meeting, or the announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of Timely Notice as described above. For purposes of these Articles, "public disclosure" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or publicly filed according to applicable law.

15.4. The accidental omission to give Notice of a meeting or (in cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with the Notice) to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non receipt of such Notice or such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive such Notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed or the proceedings at that meeting.

**16. PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS**

16.1. All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting, and also all business that is transacted at an annual general meeting, with the exception of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the declaration and sanctioning of dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) consideration and adoption of the accounts and balance sheet and the reports of the Directors and Auditors and other documents required to be annexed to the balance sheet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the election of Directors;

Annex D-13

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) appointment of Auditors (where special notice of the intention for such appointment is not required by the Act) and other officers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the fixing of the remuneration of the Auditors, and the voting of remuneration or extra remuneration to the Directors.

16.2. No business other than the appointment of a chairman of a meeting shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present at the commencement of the business. At any general meeting of the Company, one (1) Member entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in the Company throughout the meeting shall form a quorum for all purposes.

16.3. If within fifteen (15) minutes from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be cancelled. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days or to such other time or place as is determined by the Directors. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved. The Chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for seven (7) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with the articles.

16.4. The chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman at every general meeting. If at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or is not willing to act as chairman, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to act, or if one Director only is present he shall preside as chairman if willing to act. If no Director is present, or if each of the Directors present declines to take the chair, or if the chairman chosen shall retire from the chair, the Members present in person or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and entitled to vote shall elect one of their number to be chairman.

16.5. The chairman may adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment not taken place. When a meeting is adjourned for fourteen (14) days or more, at least seven (7) clear days' notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given specifying the time and place of the adjourned meeting but it shall not be necessary to specify in such notice the nature of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted. Save as aforesaid, it shall be unnecessary to give notice of an adjournment.

16.6. If an amendment is proposed to any resolution under consideration but is in good faith ruled out of order by the chairman of the meeting, the proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling. In the case of a resolution duly proposed as a Special Resolution, no amendment thereto (other than a mere clerical amendment to correct a patent error) may in any event be considered or voted upon.

**17. VOTING**

17.1. Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any shares by or in accordance with these Articles (including without limitation any enhanced voting rights as may be provided for in Article 3), at any general meeting on a show of hands every holder of Class A Ordinary Shares present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a duly authorised representative), or by proxy shall have one (1) vote and every holder of Class B Ordinary Shares present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a duly authorised representative), or by proxy shall have twenty (20) votes per share; and on a poll every Member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative shall have one (1) vote in the case of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and twenty (20) votes in the case of holders of Class B Ordinary Shares for every share of which he is the holder, but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in advance of calls or instalments is treated for the foregoing

Annex D-14

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

purposes as paid up on the share. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles, where more than one proxy is appointed by a Member which is a clearing house or a central depository house (or its nominee(s)), each such proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands. A resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) by the chairman of such meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) by at least three Members present in person or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) by a Member or Members present in person or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and representing not less than one tenth of the total voting rights of all Members having the right to vote at the meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) by a Member or Members present in person or (in the case of a Member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) if required by the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, by any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of shares representing five per cent. (5%) or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

A demand by a person as proxy for a Member or in the case of a Member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative shall be deemed to be the same as a demand by a Member.

17.2. Unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or not carried by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect made in the minute book of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded for or against the resolution.

17.3. If a poll is duly demanded the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. There shall be no requirement for the chairman to disclose the voting figures on a poll.

17.4. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman, or on a question of adjournment, shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken in such manner (including the use of ballot or voting papers or tickets) and either forthwith or at such time (being not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the demand) and place as the chairman directs. It shall not be necessary (unless the chairman otherwise directs) for notice to be given of a poll not taken immediately.

17.5. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting or the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded, and, with the consent of the chairman, it may be withdrawn at any time before the close of the meeting or the taking of the poll, whichever is the earlier.

17.6. On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

17.7. A person entitled to more than one vote on a poll need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

17.8. All questions submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a simple majority of votes except where a greater majority is required by these Articles or by the Act. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of such meeting shall be entitled to a second or casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have.

Annex D-15

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

17.9. Where there are joint holders of any share any one of such joint holders may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders be present at any meeting the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register in respect of the joint holding. Several executors or administrators of a deceased Member in whose name any share stands shall for the purposes of this Article be deemed joint holders thereof.

17.10. A Member who is a patient for any purpose relating to mental health or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction for the protection or management of the affairs of persons incapable of managing their own affairs may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person in the nature of a receiver, committee or curator bonis appointed by such court, and such receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person may vote on a poll by proxy, and may otherwise act and be treated as if he were the registered holder of such shares for the purposes of general meetings, provided that such evidence as the Board may require of the authority of the person claiming to vote shall have been deposited at the Office, head office or Registration Office, as appropriate, not less than forty eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting, or adjourned meeting or poll, as the case may be.

17.11. Any person entitled under Article 17.9 to be registered as the holder of any shares may vote at any general meeting in respect thereof in the same manner as if he were the registered holder of such shares, provided that forty eight (48) hours at least before the time of the holding of the meeting or adjourned meeting, as the case may be, at which he proposes to vote, he shall satisfy the Board of his entitlement to such shares, or the Board shall have previously admitted his right to vote at such meeting in respect thereof.

17.12. No Member shall, unless the Board otherwise determines, be entitled to attend and vote and to be reckoned in a quorum at any general meeting unless he is duly registered and all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.

17.13. If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any votes have been counted which ought not to have been counted or which might have been rejected; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any votes are not counted which ought to have been counted;

the objection or error shall not vitiate the decision of the meeting or adjourned meeting on any resolution unless the same is raised or pointed out at the meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chairman of the meeting and shall only vitiate the decision of the meeting on any resolution if the chairman decides that the same may have affected the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chairman on such matters shall be final and conclusive.

**18. PROXIES**

18.1. Any Member entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company shall be entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A Member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a Member. In addition, a proxy or proxies representing either a Member who is an individual or a Member which is a corporation shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the Member which he or they represent as such Member could exercise.

Annex D-16

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

18.2. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same. In the case of an instrument of proxy purporting to be signed on behalf of a corporation by an officer thereof it shall be assumed, unless the contrary appears, that such officer was duly authorised to sign such instrument of proxy on behalf of the corporation without further evidence of the facts.

18.3. The instrument appointing a proxy and (if required by the Board) the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such power or authority, shall be delivered to such place or one of such places (if any) as may be specified for that purpose in or by way of note to or in any document accompanying the notice convening the meeting (or, if no place is so specified at the Registration Office or the Office, as may be appropriate) not less than forty eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote or, in the case of a poll taken subsequently to the date of a meeting or adjourned meeting, not less than twenty four (24) hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll and in default the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date named in it as the date of its execution, except at an adjourned meeting or on a poll demanded at a meeting or an adjourned meeting in cases where the meeting was originally held within twelve (12) months from such date. Delivery of an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a Member from attending and voting in person at the meeting convened and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

18.4. Instruments of proxy shall be in any common form or in such other form as the Board may approve (provided that this shall not preclude the use of the two way form) and the Board may, if it thinks fit, send out with the notice of any meeting forms of instrument of proxy for use at the meeting. The instrument of proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on any amendment of a resolution put to the meeting for which it is given as the proxy thinks fit. The instrument of proxy shall, unless the contrary is stated therein, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates.

18.5. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal, or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the authority under which it was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of such death, insanity or revocation shall have been received by the Company at the Office or the Registration Office (or such other place as may be specified for the delivery of instruments of proxy in the notice convening the meeting or other document sent therewith) two (2) hours at least before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, or the taking of the poll, at which the instrument of proxy is used.

18.6. Anything which under these Articles a Member may do by proxy he may likewise do by his duly appointed attorney and the provisions of these Articles relating to proxies and instruments appointing proxies shall apply mutatis mutandis in relation to any such attorney and the instrument under which such attorney is appointed.

**19. CORPORATIONS ACTING BY REPRESENTATIVES**

19.1. Any corporation which is a Member may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members. The person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of such corporation as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member and such corporation shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present thereat.

19.2. If a clearing house (or its nominee(s)) or a central depository, being a corporation, is a Member, it may authorise such persons as it thinks fit to act as its representatives at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members provided that the authorisation shall specify the number and class of shares

Annex D-17

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

in respect of which each such representative is so authorised. Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house or central depository (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the shares of the Company held by the clearing house or central depository (or its nominee(s)) including the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

19.3. Any reference in these Articles to a duly authorised representative of a Member being a corporation shall mean a representative authorised under the provisions of this Article.

**20. ACTING BY WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS OF MEMBERS**

20.1. Members may pass a resolution in writing without holding a meeting if the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all Members entitled to vote are given notice of the resolution as if the same were being proposed at a meeting of Members;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all Members entitled so to vote:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) sign a document; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) sign several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of those Members; and

Any person so appointed shall have all the rights and powers of the Director or Directors for whom such person is appointed in the alternative provided that such person shall not be counted more than once in determining whether or not a quorum is present. An alternate Director may be removed at any time by the body which appointed him and, subject thereto, the office of alternate Director shall continue until the happening of any event which, if we were a Director, would cause him to vacate such office or if his appointer ceases for any reason to be a Director. Any appointment or removal of an alternate Director shall be effected by Notice signed by the appointor and delivered to the Office or head office or tendered at a meeting of the Board. An alternate Director may also be a Director in his own right and may act as alternate to more than one Director. An alternate Director shall, if his appointor so requests, be entitled to receive notices of meetings of the Board or of committees of the Board to the same extent as, but in lieu of, the Director appointing him and shall be entitled to such extent to attend and vote as a Director at any such meeting at which the Director appointing him is not personally present and generally at such meeting to exercise and discharge all the functions, powers and duties of his appointor as a Director and for the purposes of the proceedings at such meeting the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if he were a Director save that as an alternate for more than one Director his voting rights shall be cumulative.

24.2. An alternate Director shall only be a Director for the purposes of the Act and shall only be subject to the provisions of the Act insofar as they relate to the duties and obligations of a Director when performing the functions of the Director for whom he is appointed in the alternative and shall alone be responsible to the Company for his acts and defaults and shall not be deemed to be the agent of or for the Director appointing him. An alternate Director shall be entitled to contract and be interested in and benefit from contracts or arrangements or transactions and to be repaid expenses and to be indemnified by the Company to the same extent *mutatis mutandis* as if he were a Director but he shall not be entitled to receive from the Company any fee in his capacity as an alternate Director except only such part, if any, of the remuneration otherwise payable to his appointor as such appointor may by Notice to the Company from time to time direct.

24.3. Every person acting as an alternate Director shall have one vote for each Director for whom he acts as alternate (in addition to his own vote if he is also a Director). If his appointor is for the time being absent from the People's Republic of China or otherwise not available or unable to act, the signature of an alternate Director to any resolution in writing of the Board or a committee of the Board of which his appointor is a member shall, unless the notice of his appointment provides to the contrary, be as effective as the signature of his appointor.

24.4. An alternate Director shall ipso facto cease to be an alternate Director if his appointor ceases for any reason to be a Director, however, such alternate Director or any other person may be re-appointed by the Directors to serve as an alternate Director PROVIDED always that, if at any meeting any Director retires but is re-elected at the same meeting, any appointment of such alternate Director pursuant to these Articles which was in force immediately before his retirement shall remain in force as though he had not retired.

**25. DIRECTORS' FEES AND EXPENSES**

25.1. The Directors shall receive such remuneration as the Board may from time to time determine. Each Director shall be entitled to be repaid or prepaid all traveling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred by him in attending meetings of the Board or committees of the board or general meetings or separate meetings of any class of shares or of debenture of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of his duties as a Director. The ordinary remuneration of the Directors shall from time to time be determined by the Company in general meeting and shall (unless otherwise directed by the resolution by which it is voted) be divided amongst the Board in such proportions and in such manner as the Board may agree or, failing agreement, equally, except that any Director who shall hold office for part only of the

Annex D-20

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

period in respect of which such remuneration is payable shall be entitled only to rank in such division for a proportion of remuneration related to the period during which he has held office. Such remuneration shall be deemed to accrue from day to day.

25.2. Each Director shall be entitled to be repaid or prepaid all travelling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred by him in attending meetings of the Board or committees of the Board or general meetings or separate meetings of any class of shares or of debentures of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of his duties as a Director.

25.3. Any Director who, by request, goes or resides abroad for any purpose of the Company or who performs services which in the opinion of the Board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board may determine and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to or in substitution for any ordinary remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Article.

**26. DIRECTORS' INTERESTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) hold any other office or place of profit with the Company (except that of Auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine. Any remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) paid to any Director in respect of any such other office or place of profit shall be in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Article;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) act by himself or his firm in a professional capacity for the Company (otherwise than as Auditor) and he or his firm may be remunerated for professional services as if he were not a Director;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) continue to be or become a director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director, executive director, manager or other officer or member of any other company promoted by the Company or in which the Company may be interested as a vendor, shareholder or otherwise and (unless otherwise agreed) no such Director shall be accountable for any remuneration, profits or other benefits received by him as a director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director, executive director, manager or other officer or member of or from his interests in any such other company. Subject as otherwise provided by these Articles the Directors may exercise or cause to be exercised the voting powers conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company, or exercisable by them as Directors of such other company in such manner in all respects as they think fit (including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution appointing themselves or any of them directors, managing directors, joint managing directors, deputy managing directors, executive directors, managers or other officers of such company) or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director, executive director, manager or other officers of such other company and any Director may vote in favour of the exercise of such voting rights in manner aforesaid notwithstanding that he may be, or about to be, appointed a director, managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director, executive director, manager or other officer of such a company, and that as such he is or may become interested in the exercise of such voting rights in manner aforesaid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no "Independent Director" as defined in FINRA Rules or in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and with respect of whom the Board has determined constitutes an "Independent Director" for purposes of compliance with applicable law or the Company's listing requirements, shall without the consent of the Audit Committee take any of the foregoing actions or any other action that would reasonably be likely to affect such Director's status as an "Independent Director" of the Company.

Any such transaction that would reasonably be likely to affect a Director's status as an "Independent Director", or that would constitute a "related party transaction" as defined by Item 7.N of Form 20F promulgated by the SEC, shall require the approval of the Audit Committee.

26.3. A Director who to his knowledge is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at the meeting of the Board at which the question of entering into the contract or arrangement is first considered, if he knows his interest then exists, or in any other case at the first meeting of the Board after he knows that he is or has become so interested. For the purposes of this Article, a general Notice to the Board by a Director to the effect that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) he is a member or officer of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement which may after the date of the Notice be made with that company or firm; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) he is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement which may after the date of the Notice be made with a specified person who is connected with him;

shall be deemed to be a sufficient declaration of interest under this Article in relation to any such contract or arrangement, provided that no such Notice shall be effective unless either it is given at a meeting of the Board or the Director takes reasonable steps to secure that it is brought up and read at the next Board meeting after it is given.

26.4. Following a declaration being made pursuant to the last preceding two Articles, subject to any separate requirement for Audit Committee approval under applicable law or the listing rules of the Company's Designated Stock Exchange, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant Board meeting, a Director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such Director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting.

**35. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS**

35.1. Subject to the Act, the Company in general meeting or the Board may from time to time declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the Members but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the Board.

35.2. Dividends may be declared and paid out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or from any reserve set aside from profits which the Directors determine is no longer needed. The Board may also declare and pay dividends out of share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorised for this purpose in accordance with the Act.

35.3. Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise provide:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid up on the share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

35.4. The Board may from time to time pay to the Members such interim dividends as appear to the Board to be justified by the profits of the Company and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes, the Board may pay such interim dividends in respect of those shares in the capital of the Company which confer on the holders thereof deferred or non preferential rights as well as in respect of those shares which confer on the holders thereof preferential rights with regard to dividend and provided that the Board acts bona fide the Board shall not incur any responsibility to the holders of shares conferring any preference for any damage that they may suffer by reason of the payment of an interim dividend on any shares having deferred or non preferential rights and may also pay any fixed dividend which is payable on any shares of the Company half yearly or on any other dates, whenever such profits, in the opinion of the Board, justifies such payment.

35.5. The Board may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to a Member by the Company on or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

35.6. No dividend or other moneys payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company.

35.7. Any dividend, interest or other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post addressed to the holder at his registered address or, in the case of joint holders, addressed to the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the shares at his address as appearing in the Register or addressed to such person and at such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first on the Register in respect of such shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company notwithstanding that it may subsequently appear that the same has been stolen or that any endorsement thereon has been forged. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint holders.

35.8. All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for one (1) year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. Any dividend or bonuses unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. The payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend or other sums payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

If a Member fails to pay any call the Board may give to such Member not less than fourteen (14) clear days' notice requiring payment and specifying the amount unpaid including any interest which may have accrued, any expenses which have been incurred by the Company due to that person's default and the place where payment is to be made. The notice shall also contain a warning that if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited. If such notice is not complied with, the Board may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any share the subject of that notice be forfeited (which forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited share and not paid before such forfeiture).

A forfeited share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors determine and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit. A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding such forfeit, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable to the Company in respect of the shares, together with all expenses and interest from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the unpaid amount.

A declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a Director or the Secretary shall be conclusive evidence that the person making the declaration is a Director or Secretary of the Company and that the particular shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.

Subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer, if necessary, the declaration shall constitute good title to the shares.

35.9. Whenever the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared, the Board may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind and in particular of paid up shares, debentures or warrants to subscribe securities of the Company or any other company, or in any one or more of such ways, and where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient, and in particular may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares, disregard fractional entitlements or round the same up or down, and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets, or any part thereof, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board and may appoint any person to sign any requisite instruments of transfer and other documents on behalf of the persons entitled to the dividend, and such appointment shall be effective and binding on the Members. The Board may resolve that no such assets shall be made available to Members with registered addresses in any particular territory or territories where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, such distribution of assets would or might, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable and in such event the only entitlement of the Members aforesaid shall be to receive cash payments as aforesaid. Members affected as a result of the foregoing sentence shall not be or be deemed to be a separate class of Members for any purpose whatsoever.

35.10. Whenever the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared on any class of the share capital of the Company, the Board may further resolve either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up, provided that the Members entitled thereto will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof if the Board so determines) in cash in lieu of such allotment. In such case, the following provisions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the basis of any such allotment shall be determined by the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Board, after determining the basis of allotment, shall give not less than ten (10) days' Notice to the holders of the relevant shares of the right of election accorded to them and shall send with such notice forms of election and specify the procedure to be followed and the place at which and the latest date and time by which duly completed forms of election must be lodged in order to be effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the right of election may be exercised in respect of the whole or part of that portion of the dividend in respect of which the right of election has been accorded; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the dividend (or that part of the dividend to be satisfied by the allotment of shares as aforesaid) shall not be payable in cash on shares in respect whereof the cash election has not been duly exercised ("the non elected shares") and in satisfaction thereof shares of the relevant class shall be allotted credited as fully paid up to the holders of the non elected shares on the basis of allotment determined as aforesaid and for such purpose the Board shall capitalise and apply out of any part of the undivided profits of the Company (including profits carried and standing to the credit of any reserves or other special account, share premium account or capital redemption reserve) as the Board may determine, such sum as may be required to pay up in full the appropriate number of shares of the relevant class for allotment and distribution to and amongst the holders of the non elected shares on such basis; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) that the Members entitled to such dividend shall be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as the Board may think fit. In such case, the following provisions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the basis of any such allotment shall be determined by the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Board, after determining the basis of allotment, shall give not less than ten (10) days' Notice to the holders of the relevant shares of the right of election accorded to them and shall send with such notice forms of election and specify the procedure to be followed and the place at which and the latest date and time by which duly completed forms of election must be lodged in order to be effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the right of election may be exercised in respect of the whole or part of that portion of the dividend in respect of which the right of election has been accorded; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been accorded) shall not be payable in cash on shares in respect whereof the share election has been duly exercised ("the elected shares") and in lieu thereof shares of the relevant class shall be allotted credited as fully paid up to the holders of the elected shares on the basis of allotment determined as aforesaid and for such purpose the Board shall capitalise and apply out of any part of the undivided profits of the Company (including profits carried and standing to the credit of any reserves or other special account, share premium account or capital redemption reserve) as the Board may determine, such sum as may be required to pay up in full the appropriate number of shares of the relevant class for allotment and distribution to and amongst the holders of the elected shares on such basis.

 **NFT Limited**<br>

35.11. The shares allotted pursuant to the provisions of Article 35.10 shall rank *pari passu* in all respects with shares of the same class (if any) then in issue save only as regards participation in the relevant dividend or in any other distributions, bonuses or rights paid, made, declared or announced prior to or contemporaneously with the payment or declaration of the relevant dividend unless, contemporaneously with the announcement by the Board of their proposal to apply the provisions of Articles 35.11 and 35.12 in relation to the relevant dividend or contemporaneously with their announcement of the distribution, bonus or rights in question, the Board shall specify that the shares to be allotted pursuant to the provisions of Article 35.10 shall rank for participation in such distribution, bonus or rights.

35.12. The Board may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any capitalisation pursuant to the provisions of Article 35.10, with full power to the Board to make such provisions as it thinks fit in the case of shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby, in whole or in part, fractional entitlements are aggregated and sold and the net proceeds distributed to those entitled, or are disregarded or rounded up or down or whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrues to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Board may authorise any person to enter into on behalf of all Members interested, an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made pursuant to such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

35.13. The Company may upon the recommendation of the Board by ordinary resolution resolve in respect of any one particular dividend of the Company that notwithstanding the provisions of Article 35.10, a dividend may be satisfied wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any right to shareholders to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.

35.14. The Board may on any occasion determine that rights of election and the allotment of shares under Article 35.10 shall not be made available or made to any shareholders with registered addresses in any territory where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, the circulation of an offer of such rights of election or the allotment of shares would or might, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable, and in such event the provisions aforesaid shall be read and construed subject to such determination. Members affected as a result of the foregoing sentence shall not be or be deemed to be a separate class of Members for any purpose whatsoever.

35.15. Any resolution declaring a dividend on shares of any class, whether a resolution of the Company in general meeting or a resolution of the Board, may specify that the same shall be payable or distributable to the persons registered as the holders of such shares at the close of business on a particular date, notwithstanding that it may be a date prior to that on which the resolution is passed, and thereupon the dividend shall be payable or distributable to them in accordance with their respective holdings so registered, but without prejudice to the rights inter se in respect of such dividend of transferors and transferees of any such shares. The provisions of this Article shall mutatis mutandis apply to bonuses, capitalisation issues, distributions of realised capital profits or offers or grants made by the Company to the Members.

**36. RESERVES**

36.1. The Board shall establish an account to be called the share premium account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share in the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the provisions of these Articles, the Board may apply the share premium account in any manner permitted by the Act. The Company shall at all times comply with the provisions of the Act in relation to the share premium account.

36.2. Before recommending any dividend, the Board may set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as it determines as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and pending such application may, also at such discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Board may from

Annex D-31

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

 **NFT Limited**<br>

time to time think fit and so that it shall not be necessary to keep any investments constituting the reserve or reserves separate or distinct from any other investments of the Company. The Board may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which it may think prudent not to distribute.

**37. CAPITALISATION**

37.1. The Company may, upon the recommendation of the Board, at any time and from time to time pass an ordinary resolution to the effect that it is desirable to capitalise all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including a share premium account and capital redemption reserve and the profit and loss account) whether or not the same is available for distribution and accordingly that such amount be set free for distribution among the Members or any class of Members who would be entitled thereto if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, on the footing that the same is not paid in cash but is applied either in or towards paying up the amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares in the Company held by such Members respectively or in paying up in full unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company, to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid up among such Members, or partly in one way and partly in the other, and the Board shall give effect to such resolution provided that, for the purposes of this Article, a share premium account and any capital redemption reserve or fund representing unrealised profits, may be applied only in paying up in full unissued shares of the Company to be allotted to such Members credited as fully paid.

37.2. The Board may settle, as it considers appropriate, any difficulty arising in regard to any distribution under the last preceding Article and in particular may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares or authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Board. The Board may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Members.

**38. ACCOUNTING RECORDS**

38.1. The Board shall cause true accounts to be kept of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure take place, and of the property, assets, credits and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters required by the Act or necessary to give a true and fair view of the Company's affairs and to explain its transactions.

38.2. The accounting records shall be kept at the Office or, at such other place or places as the Board decides and shall always be open to inspection by the Directors. No Member (other than a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Board or the Company in general meeting.

38.3. Subject to Article 38.4, a printed copy of the Directors' report, accompanied by the balance sheet and profit and loss account, including every document required by law to be annexed thereto, made up to the end of the applicable financial year and containing a summary of the assets and liabilities of the Company under convenient heads and a statement of income and expenditure, together with a copy of the Auditors' report, shall be sent to each person entitled thereto at least ten (10) days before the date of the general meeting and laid before the Company at the annual general meeting held in accordance with Article 14.1 provided that this Article shall not require a copy of those documents to be sent to any person whose address the Company is not aware or to more than one of the joint holders of any shares or debentures.

38.4. Subject to due compliance with all applicable Statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, and to obtaining all necessary consents, if any, required thereunder, the requirements of Article 38.3 shall be deemed satisfied in relation to any person by sending to the person in any manner not prohibited by the Statutes, summarised financial statements derived from the Company's annual accounts and the directors' report which shall be in the form and containing the information required

Annex D-32

by applicable laws and regulations, provided that any person who is otherwise entitled to the annual financial statements of the Company and the directors' report thereon may, if he so requires by notice in writing served on the Company, demand that the Company sends to him, in addition to summarised financial statements, a complete printed copy of the Company's annual financial statement and the directors' report thereon.

38.5. The requirement to send to a person referred to in Article 38.3 the documents referred to in that article or a summary financial report in accordance with Article 38.4 shall be deemed satisfied where, in accordance with all applicable Statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company publishes copies of the documents referred to in Article 38.3 and, if applicable, a summary financial report complying with Article 38.4, on the Company's computer network or in any other permitted manner (including by sending any form of electronic communication), and that person has agreed or is deemed to have agreed to treat the publication or receipt of such documents in such manner as discharging the Company's obligation to send to him a copy of such documents.

**39. FINANCIAL YEAR END**

39.1. Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year end of the Company shall be 31<sup>st</sup> December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1<sup>st</sup> January in each year.

Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>No Rights as a Service Provider</u>. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing his or her relationship as a Service Provider, nor shall they interfere in any way with the right of the Participant or the right of the Company or its Parent or Subsidiaries to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Stock Options</u>.

The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement and will not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162 (m) of the Code, or in the event of the grant of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to an Employee, Director, or Consultant who is a U.S. taxpayer, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incentive Stock Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Waiting Period and Exercise Dates</u>. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the satisfaction of such conditions at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Form of Consideration</u>. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, may consist entirely of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) cash;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) check;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) promissory note;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) other Shares which meet conditions established by the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Participant, including any liability attributable to the Participant's participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Exercise of Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder</u>. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (x) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (y) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (including provision for any applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Awarded Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 16 of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider</u>. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant's death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant's termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option as to all of the vested Shares within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the remaining Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant's death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant's designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant's death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant's estate or by the persons) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant's death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Removal of Restrictions</u>. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Voting Rights</u>.

SARs will be exercisable on such terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

An SAR granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Sections 7(d)(ii), 7(d)(iii) and 7(d)(iv) also will apply to SARs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) <u>Payment of SAR Amount</u>. Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Performance Objectives and Other Terms</u>. The Administrator will set performance objectives in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Participant. Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals (including solely continued service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that if the Award is a 162(m) Award, then the Award will be subject to achievement of Performance Goals with respect to a Performance Period established by the Committee and the Award shall be granted and administered in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Annex G-9

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Earning of Performance Units/Shares</u>. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives for such Performance Unit/Share unless such Award is a 162(m) Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares</u>. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period at the time determined by the Administrator. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination of cash and Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares</u>. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.

Restricted Stock Units shall consist of a Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance Unit Award that the Administrator, in its sole discretion permits to be paid out in installments or on a deferred basis, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>Other Stock Based Awards</u>. Other Stock Based Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. The Administrator shall have authority to determine the Service Providers to whom and the time or times at which Other Stock Based Awards shall be made, the amount of such Other Stock Based Awards, and all other conditions of the Other Stock Based Awards including any dividend and/or voting rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>Leaves of Absence</u>. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence and will resume on the date the Participant returns to work on a regular schedule as determined by the Company; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no vesting credit will be awarded for the time vesting has been suspended during such leave of absence. A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three months following the 91<sup>st</sup> day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>Non-Transferability of Awards</u>. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Adjustments</u>. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Shares which may be delivered under the Plan, the number, class and price of Shares subject to outstanding awards, and the numerical limits in Section 6. Notwithstanding the preceding, the number of Shares subject to any Award always shall be a whole number.

Annex G-10

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Dissolution or Liquidation</u>. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award, to the extent applicable, until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Awarded Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option or forfeiture rights applicable to any Award shall lapse 100%, and that any Award vesting shall accelerate 100%, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or vested, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Change in Control</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) <u>Stock Options and SARs</u>. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option and SAR shall be assumed or an equivalent option or SAR substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or SAR, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or SAR as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or SAR is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or SAR shall be exercisable, to the extent vested, for a period of up to fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or SAR shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or SAR shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the option or SAR confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or SAR, for each share of Awarded Stock subject to the Option or SAR, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) <u>Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock Based Awards</u>. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Award of Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit shall be assumed or an equivalent Restricted Stock, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Other Stock Based Award and Restricted Stock Unit award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest in the Award, including as to Shares/Units that would not otherwise be vested, all applicable restrictions will lapse, and all performance objectives and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at targeted levels. For the purposes of this paragraph, an Award of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Other Stock Based Awards and Restricted Stock Units shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control (and if a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Unit, for each Share as determined based on the then current value of the unit), the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the

Annex G-11

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

successor corporation, provide that the consideration to be received for each Share (and if a Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Unit, for each Share as determined based on the then current value of the unit) be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned, or is paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of the performance goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to the performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) <u>Outside Director Awards</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 15(c)(i) or 15(c)(ii) to the contrary, with respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following the assumption or substitution the Participant's status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant, then the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise his or her Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Awarded Stock, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares, Performance Units, and Other Stock Based Awards, all performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) <u>Administrator Discretion</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 15(c)(i), 15(c)(ii), or 15(c)(iii) to the contrary, the Administrator (or in the case of 162(m) Awards, the Committee) may determine alternative treatment that shall apply to the Award in the event of a Change in Control by specifying such alternative treatment in the Award Agreement. In the event of such alternative treatment, the treatment specified in Sections 15(c)(i), 15(c)(ii), and 15(c)(iii), as applicable, shall not apply.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. <u>Date of Grant</u>. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. <u>Term of Plan</u>. Subject to Section 22 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. <u>Amendment and Termination of the Plan</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Amendment and Termination</u>. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Stockholder Approval</u>. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Effect of Amendment or Termination</u>. No amendment, alteration, suspension, or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. <u>Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Legal Compliance</u>. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Investment Representations</u>. As a condition to the exercise or receipt of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising or receiving such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

Annex G-12

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC001)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. <u>Severability</u>. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan or an Award to the contrary, if any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or the Awards shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and enforceable, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or Award, as applicable, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. <u>Inability to Obtain Authority</u>. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. <u>Stockholder Approval</u>. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted.
