PROPOSAL 1
TO APPROVE THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
General
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders, and is hereby soliciting shareholder approval, to effect a Share Consolidation of the Company's ordinary shares at a ratio of one-for-twenty five (the "Share Consolidation"), on the effective date as determined by the Board of Directors.
The approval of the Share Consolidation requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares, who being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary Meeting. If our shareholders approve this proposal, our Board of Directors will have the authority to implement the Share Consolidation by instructing the registered office to file the notice of the Share Consolidation with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies at any time after the approval of the Share Consolidation.
The Share Consolidation will be implemented simultaneously for all ordinary shares. The Share Consolidation will affect all shareholders uniformly and will have no effect on the proportionate holdings of any individual shareholder, with the exception of adjustments related to the treatment of fractional shares (see below).
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the board of directors of the Company determining, confirming and approving that the Share Consolidation is an effective means of maintaining, or if necessary, regaining, compliance with the minimum trading price requirement for continued listing of our Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Registration and Trading of our Ordinary Shares
The Share Consolidation will not affect our obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In connection with the Share Consolidation, our CUSIP number (which is an identifier used by participants in the securities industry to identify our ordinary shares) will change.
Fractional Shares
No fractional ordinary shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Share Consolidation. Each shareholder will be entitled to receive one ordinary share in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Share Consolidation.
Authorized Shares
At the time the Share Consolidation is effective, our authorized ordinary shares will be consolidated at the same ratio. The authorized share capital of the Company shall be decreased from an authorized share capital of US$15,000.00 divided into 150,000,000 shares comprising (i) 140,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each, (ii) 10,000,000 Preference Shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each, to an authorized share capital of US$15,000, comprising (i) 560,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.02678571 each and (ii) 10,000,000 Preference Shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each.

Street Name Holders of Ordinary Shares
The Company intends for the Share Consolidation to treat shareholders holding ordinary shares in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Share Consolidation for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures. Accordingly, shareholders holding ordinary shares in street name should contact their nominees.
Share Certificates
Mandatory surrender of certificates is not required by our shareholders. The Company's transfer agent will adjust the record books of the Company to reflect the Share Consolidation as of the Effective Date. New certificates will not be mailed to shareholders.
