***Trust Agreement Amendment***

As approved by its stockholders at the Special Meeting (defined below), Aquaron Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "***Company***," "***we***," "***us***" or "***our***") entered into an amendment (the "***Trust Agreement Amendment***") to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 3, 2022 (the "***Trust Agreement***"), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee ("***Trustee***"). The Trust Agreement Amendment allows the Company to extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the trust account established by the Company in connection with the initial public offering (the "***IPO***") of the Company (the "***Trust Account***") if the Company has not completed its initial business combination ("***Extension***"), on a monthly basis up to twelve times from May 6, 2026 to May 6, 2027 (the later such date actually extended being referred to as the "***Extended Date***"), by depositing into the trust account $0.033 per public share for each one-month extension.

The Trust Agreement Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

***Promissory Note***

The Company issued, on May 7, 2026, an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of $4,000 (the "***Promissory Note***") to HUTURE Ltd. ("***Huture***"). The Promissory Note does not bear interest and the principal thereunder becomes due and payable upon the date on which the Company consummates a business combination with Huture (the "***Business Combination***"). In addition, the Promissory Note may be converted by the holder into shares of common stock of the Company identical to the common stock issued in the Company's initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit (each unit consists of one share of common stock and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of a share of common stock).

The disclosure regarding the Promissory Note contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this item to the extent required.

Stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow the Company to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination on a monthly basis up to twelve times from May 6, 2026 to May 6, 2027. Passage of the Extension Amendment Proposal required approval by a simple majority of the votes cast by such holders of the Company's common stock as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting (the "***Stockholders***"). The voting results were as follows:

<u>FOR</u> <u>AGAINST</u> <u>ABSTAIN</u> <br> 1,623,071 37 0
