Introductory Note

 

As previously disclosed, on August 16, 2024, AlphaVest Acquisition Corp. (“SPAC” or “ATMV”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended on June 25, 2025, the “Business Combination Agreement”), with AMC Corporation, a Washington corporation (the “Company”), and AV Merger Sub Inc., a Washington corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (“Merger Sub”). Terms used herein but not defined herein shall be defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined below).

 

On December 9, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), as follows:

 

The Domestication

 

Immediately prior to, and on the same date as, the Closing Date, among other things, SPAC caused the de-registration of SPAC as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and the transfer by way of continuation of SPAC as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). The Domestication occurred in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Part XII of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands.

 

In connection with the Domestication, SPAC caused:

 

  Each unit of SPAC (the “SPAC Unit”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication to be separated into one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPAC (“SPAC Ordinary Share”) and one right of SPAC (“SPAC Right”);

 

  Each SPAC Ordinary Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication (including those ordinary shares so separated from the SPAC Units) to be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Surviving PubCo Common Stock”), of the surviving public company (“Surviving PubCo”); and

 

  Each SPAC Right that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (defined below) converted into one-tenth of one share of Surviving PubCo Common Stock.

 

The Merger

 

On the Closing Date, immediately following the consummation of the Domestication, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and the Company continued as the surviving company of the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Surviving PubCo (the “Surviving Company”). On the Closing Date, the Merger was consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger become effective on the date and time at which the Certificate of Merger was accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Washington (the “Effective Time”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, without any action on the part of any party or any other person:

 

  Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Company.

 

  Each Company Share (other than any Company Shares held in treasury that are cancelled and extinguished and any Company Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Surviving PubCo Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.

 

  Each Company Share held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company as treasury stock was automatically cancelled and extinguished, and no consideration was paid with respect thereto.

 

 

 

On the Closing Date, Surviving PubCo issued an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of Surviving PubCo Common Stock to the former shareholders of the Company (the “Company Shareholders”) in exchange for their equity interests in the Company.

Controlled Company Exemption

 

As of the Closing Date, the Company’s majority shareholders, consisting of entities affiliated with Sean Da, hold a majority of the voting stock of Surviving PubCo. Accordingly, Mr. Da, through such entities, have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors, amendments of organizational documents, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets. Similarly, he has the ability to prevent the approval of any action submitted to the stockholders by other stockholders.

 

As a result of the foregoing, Surviving PubCo will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable rules of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements (a) that a majority of the board consists of independent directors; (b) for an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees; (c) that the controlled company has a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and (d) that the controlled company has a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibility. As of the Closing Date, Surviving PubCo has not taken advantage of any of these exemptions. If Surviving PubCo determines to rely on any of these exemptions from the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq in the future, investors may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. In the event that Surviving PubCo ceases to be a “controlled company” and its shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq, it will be required to comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods.

 

Risk Oversight

 

The Surviving PubCo Board will have extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to Surviving PubCo and its business and will accomplish this oversight through the regular reporting to the Surviving PubCo Board by the audit committee. The audit committee will represent the Surviving PubCo Board by periodically reviewing Surviving PubCo’s accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of its financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the audit committee will review and discuss all significant areas of our business and summarize for the Surviving PubCo Board all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the Surviving PubCo Board will receive periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

 

 

 

Director Independence

 

The Surviving PubCo Board will initially consist of four members, three of whom qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of Nasdaq.

 

Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. As a controlled company, Surviving PubCo will be largely exempt from the foregoing requirements. Nonetheless, the Surviving PubCo Board will initially be comprised of a majority of independent directors and its committees will satisfy the foregoing requirements.

 

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

 

The Surviving PubCo Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, each of Messrs. Hongfei Zhang, Dahe (Taylor) Zhang and Yong (David) Yan have been deemed “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Surviving PubCo Board has a standing audit committee, compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee. All of the committees will comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations as further described below. The responsibilities of each of the committees of the Surviving PubCo Board is described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by the Surviving PubCo Board.

  reviewing Surviving PubCo’s policies on risk assessment and risk management;
  reviewing related person transactions; and
  establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

 

Surviving PubCo’s audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Yong (David) Yan, Dahe (Taylor) Zhang and Hongfei Zhang. Surviving PubCo has determined that each member of the audit committee qualifies as independent under Nasdaq rules applicable to board members generally and under Nasdaq rules and Exchange Act Rule 10A-3 specific to audit committee members. All members of Surviving PubCo’s audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable Nasdaq rules. In addition, Hongfei Zhang qualifies as the “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K, and as “financially sophisticated,” as that term is defined under Nasdaq rules.

Such policy is expected to include an annual cash retainer for all directors, in addition to equity grants determined by the compensation committee and reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings.

 

Executive Compensation

 

Following the closing of the Business Combination, Mr. Da is expected to enter into an Employment Agreement with Surviving PubCo, pursuant to which Mr. Da will be employed as Surviving PubCo’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

Overview of Anticipated Executive Compensation Program

 

Following the Closing Date, decisions with respect to the compensation of Surviving PubCo’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of the Surviving PubCo Board. Surviving PubCo anticipates that compensation for its executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, equity compensation, employee benefits and severance protections. Base salaries, employee benefits and severance protections will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. Surviving PubCo will also use annual cash bonuses and equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of its executive officers with the long-term interests of its stockholders and enhances executive retention.

Market Information and Holders

 

Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the SPAC Units, SPAC Ordinary Shares, and SPAC Rights were listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “ATMVU,” “ATMV” and “ATMVR,” respectively.

 

As of the Closing Date, SPAC’s Units separated into their component securities and the SPAC’s Ordinary Shares and Rights converted into shares of Surviving PubCo Common Stock. As a result, the SPAC Units, SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Rights no longer trade.

 

On the Closing Date, the Surviving PubCo Common Stock was listed on Nasdaq under the new trading symbol of “AMCI.”

 

As of the Closing Date and following the completion of the Business Combination, Surviving PubCo had 22,595,384 shares of Surviving PubCo Common Stock issued and outstanding held of record by 36 holders. Such numbers do not include Depository Trust Company participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

 

Dividends

 

Surviving PubCo has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock to date. Surviving PubCo may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, Surviving PubCo’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, Surviving PubCo’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by any Surviving PubCo’s outstanding preferred stock and covenants of any existing and future outstanding indebtedness Surviving PubCo or its subsidiaries incur. Surviving PubCo does not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Description of Registrant’s Securities

 

The description of Surviving PubCo’s securities is set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus entitled “Description of Surviving PubCo Securities” beginning on page 182.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate, subject to certain conditions, the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. The Surviving PubCo organizational documents limit the liability of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

 

Surviving PubCo expects to purchase director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities its directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to the combined company, including matters arising under the Securities Act. The Surviving PubCo organizational documents also provide that Surviving PubCo will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, Surviving PubCo has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors, as described above in Item 1.01.

 

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of Surviving PubCo’s directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. Surviving PubCo is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceedings that may result in a claim for such indemnification.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling the combined company, Surviving PubCo has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

AMC ROBOTICS CORPORATION

 

FIRST: The name of the corporation is “AMC Robotics Corporation” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Corporation”).

 

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is to be located at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The name of its registered agent at that address is National Registered Agents, Inc.

 

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL. In addition to the powers and privileges conferred upon the Corporation by law and those incidental thereto, the Corporation shall possess and may exercise all the powers and privileges that are necessary or convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business or purposes of the Corporation.

 

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 110,000,000 of which 100,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $0.00001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 

A. Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the DGCL. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

 

B. Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.

 

FIFTH:

 

A. The number of members of the entire Board shall be fixed, from time to time, exclusively by the Board, in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, the “Bylaws”), subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to the election of directors, if any.

 

B. From and after the first date on which Shengwei Da no longer beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, the Board shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be fixed exclusively by the Board and shall be as nearly equal as possible. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders after such first date, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders after such first date and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders after such first date. Commencing at the first annual meeting of stockholders after such first date, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the DGCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors, may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of 66-2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

 

 

SIXTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

 

A. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

 

B. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board is expressly authorized to make, alter and repeal the Bylaws without the consent of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Certificate or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote of the stockholders, from and after the first date on which Shengwei Da no longer beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, the stockholders may adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws only with the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

C. From and after the first date on which Shengwei Da no longer beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock permitting the holders of such series of Preferred Stock to act by written consent, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

 

D. From and after the first date on which Shengwei Da no longer beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock permitting the holders of such series of Preferred Stock to call a special meeting of the holders of such series, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the chairperson of the Board, the chief executive officer of the Corporation or the Board, and the ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of the stockholders is hereby specifically denied.

 

E. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

 

F. The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy), unless a higher vote is required by applicable law, shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

 

G. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of the State of Delaware and of this Certificate.

 

 

 

SEVENTH:

 

A. A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Neither the repeal or modification of this paragraph A nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

 

B. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

 

C. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred in this Article Seventh of this Certificate shall neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person may otherwise be or become entitled or permitted under this Certificate, the Bylaws, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

EIGHTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

 

NINTH:

 

A. Unless a majority of the Board, acting on behalf of the Corporation, consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall not be the sole and exclusive forum for any of the following actions: (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or, in each case, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction.

 

 

 

B. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of paragraph A immediately above is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce paragraph A immediately above (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

 

C. If any provision or provisions of this Article Ninth shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article Ninth (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article Ninth containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Ninth.

 

TENTH: The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Certificate or in the future, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation. In addition to the foregoing, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall not apply to any other corporate opportunity with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation unless such corporate opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue.

 

ELEVENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Certificate and the DGCL, and all rights, preferences and privileges herein conferred upon stockholders of the Corporation by and pursuant to this Certificate in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article Eleventh. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any other vote that may be required by law, applicable stock exchange rule or the terms of any series of Preferred Stock, from and after the first date on which Shengwei Da no longer beneficially owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, the stockholders may amend, alter, or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any provision of Article Fifth, Sixth or Eleventh of this Certificate only with the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

3.9 Resignations. Any Director may resign at any time by submitting his written resignation to the Board of Directors or Secretary of the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time of its receipt by the Corporation unless another time be fixed in the resignation, in which case it shall become effective at the time so fixed. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be required to make it effective.

 

3.10 Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided by law and in the resolution of the Board of Directors establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution or amending the Bylaws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger.

No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Directors who are full-time employees of the Corporation shall not receive any compensation for their service as director.

 

3.12 Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or their relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

Stock certificates shall be in such forms as the Board of Directors may prescribe and signed by the Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation.

 

5.2 Signatures. Any or all of the signatures on a stock certificate may be a facsimile, including, but not limited to, signatures of officers of the Corporation and countersignatures of a transfer agent or registrar. In case an officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 

5.3 Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new stock certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any stock certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new stock certificate, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as the Board of Directors shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

5.4 Transfers. Stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these Bylaws. Transfers of certificated stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, which shall be canceled before a new certificate shall be issued. Transfers of uncertificated stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation only by the person then registered on the books of the Corporation as the owner of such shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and written instruction to the Corporation containing such information as the Corporation or its agents may prescribe. No transfer of uncertificated stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred. The Corporation shall have no duty to inquire into adverse claims with respect to any stock transfer unless (a) the Corporation has received a written notification of an adverse claim at a time and in a manner which affords the Corporation a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to the issuance of a new, reissued or re-registered share certificate, in the case of certificated stock, or entry in the stock record books of the Corporation, in the case of uncertificated stock, and the notification identifies the claimant, the registered owner and the issue of which the share or shares is a part and provides an address for communications directed to the claimant; or (b) the Corporation has required and obtained, with respect to a fiduciary, a copy of a will, trust, indenture, articles of co-partnership, Bylaws or other controlling instruments, for a purpose other than to obtain appropriate evidence of the appointment or incumbency of the fiduciary, and such documents indicate, upon reasonable inspection, the existence of an adverse claim. The Corporation may discharge any duty of inquiry by any reasonable means, including notifying an adverse claimant by registered or certified mail at the address furnished by him or, if there be no such address, at his residence or regular place of business that the security has been presented for registration of transfer by a named person, and that the transfer will be registered unless within thirty days from the date of mailing the notification, either (a) an appropriate restraining order, injunction or other process issues from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (b) an indemnity bond, sufficient in the Corporation’s judgment to protect the Corporation and any transfer agent, registrar or other agent of the Corporation involved from any loss which it or they may suffer by complying with the adverse claim, is filed with the Corporation.

 

 

 

5.5 Fixing Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date of action with a meeting is adopted by the Board of Directors, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed:

 

(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation.

 

(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

5.6 Registered Stockholders. Prior to due presentment for transfer of any share or shares, the Corporation shall treat the registered owner thereof as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and to all other benefits of ownership with respect to such share or shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State Delaware.

6.2 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of law or the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws of the Corporation, a written waiver, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

7.1 Actions by Third Parties. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

7.2 Actions by or in Right of the Company. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

7.3 Success on the Merits. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

 

7.4 Standard of Conduct Determination. Any indemnification under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such section. Such determination shall be made:

 

(a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or

 

(b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or

 

(c) by the stockholders.

 

7.5 Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

 

7.6 Non-Exclusive Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to the other sections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

 

 

 

7.7 Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

 

7.8 Defined Terms.

 

(a) For purposes of this Article, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer employee or agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent Corporation of its separate existence had continued.

 

(b) For purposes of this Article, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article.

 

7.9 Continuation of Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

7.10 Limitation of Liability. No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or to any stockholder of the Corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time.

(b) Any such records maintained by the Corporation may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. When records are kept in such manner, a clearly legible paper form produced from or by means of the information storage device or method shall be admissible in evidence, and accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as an original paper form accurately portrays the record.

 

(c) Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal executive office.

 

8.3 Inspection by Directors. Any director shall have the right to examine the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director.

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the Directors shall think conducive to the interest of the Corporation, and the Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

 

8.5 Checks. All checks or demands for money and notes of the Corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

 

8.6 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be as determined by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors shall fail to do so, the President shall fix the fiscal year.

 

8.7 Seal. The corporate seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware”. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any manner reproduced.

 

8.8 Amendments. Subject to any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation, the original or other Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon at any regular or special meeting or, if the Certificate of Incorporation so provides, by the Board of Directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the Board of Directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws, subject to any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

8.9 Interpretation of Bylaws. All words, terms and provisions of these Bylaws shall be interpreted and defined by and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, and as amended from time to time hereafter.

REGISTRATIONS

 

2.1 Shelf Registration.

The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1, but in any event within three (3) business days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made).

 

2.1.2 If the Company files a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (a “Form S-3 Shelf”) and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) as promptly as practicable to replace the Form S-3 Shelf and to have the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such Form S-1 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. Upon such date as the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales or, in the case of a Form S-1 Shelf filed to register the resale of Removed Shares pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, upon such date as the Company becomes eligible to register all of the Removed Shares for resale on a Form S-3 Shelf pursuant to the Commission Guidance and, if applicable, without a requirement that any of the Initial-AMC Holders be named as an “underwriter” therein, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a Form S-3 Shelf as promptly as practicable to replace the applicable Form S-1 Shelf and to have the Form S-3 Shelf declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such Form S-3 Shelf to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities thereunder held by the applicable Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

2.1.3 At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1, any Holder may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement, including a Block Trade (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”). All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Promptly after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) business days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice, or, in the case of a Block Trade, as provided in Section 2.5. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Holders requesting such Shelf Underwritten Offering (which managing Underwriter or Underwriters shall be subject to approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwritten offerings of securities by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Initial Holders, on the one hand, and the AMC Holders, on the other hand, may each demand not more than two (2) Shelf Underwritten Offerings, and the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than four (4) Shelf Underwritten Offerings, pursuant to this Section 2.1.3 in any twelve (12)-month period.

 

2.2 Demand Registration.

 

2.2.1 Request for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.5 and Sections 2.4 and 3.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time after the date the Closing Date, each of (a) the Initial Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Holders (the “Initial Demanding Holders”) and (b) the AMC Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the AMC Holders (the “AMC Demanding Holders”), may make a written demand for Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, on (i) Form S-1 or (ii) if available, Form S-3, which in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), may be a shelf registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, promptly following the Company’s receipt of a Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Requesting Holder also separately possesses Demand Registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2, but is not the Holder who exercises such Demand Registration rights, the exercise by such Requesting Holder of its rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not count as the exercise by it of one of its Demand Registration rights. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, subject to subsection 2.2.4 below, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3, as applicable, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty-five (45) days following the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, for Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than (A) an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration initiated by the Initial Holders and (B) an aggregate of six (6) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration initiated by the AMC Holders, in each case under this subsection 2.2 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement that may be available at such time has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting Holders to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders in such Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement; provided further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Initial Holders, on the one hand, and the AMC Holders, on the other hand, may each demand not more than two (2) Demand Registrations, and the Company shall not be obligated to participate in more than four (4) Demand Registrations, in any twelve (12)-month period.

2.2.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.2.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (a) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (b) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided further, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective unless and until (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days after the removal, rescission or other termination of such stop order or injunction, of such election; provided further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration by the same Demanding Holder becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

 

2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.4 and Sections 2.4 and 3.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.3, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Company and the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration, which managing Underwriter or Underwriters shall be subject to approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

2.2.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If a Demand Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing, in its or their opinion, that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account and the shares of Common Stock, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Demand Registration pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering: (a) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the total amount of Registrable Securities held by each such Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of other Persons that the Company is obligated to include in such Demand Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.5 Demand Registration Withdrawal. A Demanding Holder or a Requesting Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or a portion of its Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 or a Shelf Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.3 for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to so withdraw at any time prior to (a) in the case of a Demand Registration not involving an Underwritten Offering, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, or (b) in the case of any Demand Registration involving an Underwritten Offering or any Shelf Underwritten Offering, prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering; provided, however, that upon withdrawal by a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Demand Registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or complete the Underwritten Offering, as applicable. If withdrawn, such requested Demand Registration or Shelf Underwritten Offering shall constitute a demand for a Demand Registration or Shelf Underwritten Offering for purposes of Section 2.2.1 unless either (i) the Demanding Holders have not previously withdrawn any Demand Registration or (ii) the Demanding Holders reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration or a Shelf Underwritten Offering prior to and including its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.5 unless the Demanding Holders elect to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of this subsection 2.2.5.

 

2.3 Piggyback Registration.

 

2.3.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Article II hereof), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (a) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit, (b) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders or pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (c) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (d) filed in connection with an “at-the-market” offering or (e) for a dividend reinvestment plan or a rights offering, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days (or, in the case of a Block Trade, three (3) business days) before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (i) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution (including whether such registration will be pursuant to a shelf registration statement), and the proposed price and name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (iii) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities (provided that, with respect to the Initial Holders, no such notice shall be required to the extent the Registrable Securities of such Holders are included in an effective shelf registration statement in accordance with Section 2.1) the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (or in the case of a Block Trade, within one (1) business day) (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities identified in a Holder’s response notice described in the foregoing sentence to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering, if any, to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or Company stockholder(s) for whose account such Registration Statement is to be filed included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.3.1, subject to Section 3.3 and Article IV, shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company or the Holders as provided in subsection 2.1.3 or subsection 2.2.3, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 2.3, the filing by the Company of an automatic shelf registration statement for offerings pursuant to Rule 415(a) that omits information with respect to any specific offering pursuant to Rule 430B shall not trigger any notification or participation rights hereunder until such time as the Company amends or supplements such Registration Statement to include information with respect to a specific offering of Securities (and such amendment or supplement shall trigger the notice and participation rights provided for in this Section 2.3).

2.3.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If a Piggyback Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing, in its or their opinion, that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (a) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder (b) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant Section 2.3.3 hereof, and (c) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

 

2.3.2.1 if the Registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (a) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

 

2.3.2.2 if the Registration is pursuant to a request by Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (a) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting Persons, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (d) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.3.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by subsection 2.2.5) shall have the right to withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration prior to (a) in the case of a Piggyback Registration not involving an Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, or (b), in the case of any Piggyback Registration involving an Underwritten Offering or any Shelf Underwritten Offering, prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used to market such Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than subsection 2.2.5), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to and including its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.3.

 

2.3.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3.3 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1.2 hereof or a Shelf Underwritten Offering effected under subsection 2.1.3.

 

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (b) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering; or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days in any twelve (12)-month period (the “Aggregate Blocking Period”).

 

2.5 Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Sections 2.4 and 3.5 if the Holders desire to effect a Block Trade, then notwithstanding any other time periods in this Article II, the Holders shall provide written notice to the Company at least five (5) business days prior to the date such Block Trade will commence. As expeditiously as possible, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade, provided that the Holders engaging in such Block Trade use their reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriters (including by disclosing the maximum number of Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures. In the event of a Block Trade, and after consultation with the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) shall determine the Maximum Number of Securities, the underwriter or underwriters (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks) and share price of such offering.

 

10

 

2.6 Rule 415; Removal. If at any time the Commission takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to this Article II is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act (provided, however, that the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the Commission Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09) or requires an Initial-AMC Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Company shall promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities thereof (or in the case of the Commission requiring an Initial-AMC Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” the Initial-AMC Holders) and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the Commission that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415. In the event that the Commission refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (a) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Removed Shares”) and/or (b) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the Commission may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415; provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name any Initial-AMC Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Initial-AMC Holder and, if the Commission requires such Initial-AMC Holder to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be under any obligation to include any Registrable Securities of such Initial-AMC Holder in such Registration Statement. In the event of a share removal pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Company shall give the applicable Holders at least five (5) days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Holder’s allotment. Any removal of shares of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall first be applied to Holders other than the Initial-AMC Holders with securities registered for resale under the applicable Registration Statement and thereafter allocated between the Initial-AMC Holders on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities held by the Initial-AMC Holders. In the event of a share removal of the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Company shall promptly register the resale of any Removed Shares pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 hereof and in no event shall the filing of such Registration Statement on Form S-1 or subsequent Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed pursuant to the terms of subsection 2.1.2 be counted as a Demand Registration hereunder. Until such time as the Company has registered all of the Removed Shares for resale pursuant to Rule 415 on an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall not be able to defer the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

 

ARTICLE III

3.1.14 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders and the managing Underwriter;

3.3 Participation in Underwritten Offerings.

13

 

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement or including the information counsel for the Company believes to be necessary to comply with law (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice such that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, as applicable, will not include a Misstatement and complies with applicable law), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days, determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Board to be necessary for such purpose; provided, that each day of any such suspension pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall correspondingly decrease the Aggregate Blocking Period available to the Company during any twelve (12)-month period pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof; and provided further that that notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if the Company is unable to file the Registration Statement or have it declared effective, as applicable, prior to the date on which the Company’s financial statements become stale, the Company shall be permitted to delay the filing of the Registration Statement, or any required amendment to the Registration Statement to include the audited financial statements of the Company for the applicable year, until no later than the date on which the Company would be required to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the applicable year, and (b) if the Company is required to file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to include the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the applicable year and update certain disclosures in connection therewith, the use of Registration Statement prior to the SEC’s declaration of the effectiveness of the post-effective amendment shall be suspended (together with clause (a), each an “Anticipated Suspension Event”), and each Holder agrees that the occurrence of any Anticipated Suspension Event shall not count toward the forty five (45) total calendar day period set forth above. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

 

3.5 Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade), if requested by the managing Underwriter(s), each participating Holder will agree that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the managing Underwriter(s), during a period the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering or such shorter period during which the Company agrees not to conduct an underwritten primary offering of Common Stock, except in the event the Underwriters managing the offering otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such participating Holders).

 

3.6 Covenants of the Company. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company hereby covenants and agrees:

 

3.6.1 the Company will not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein or any other filing or document (other than this Agreement) with the Commission which refers to any Holder of Registrable Securities by name without the prior written approval of such Holder, which may not be unreasonably withheld, unless required by applicable law or the Commission Guidance;

 

14

 

3.6.2 at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings, provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (or any successor thereto) shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Holders pursuant to this subsection 3.5.2. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements; and

 

3.6.3 upon request of a Holder, the Company shall (i) authorize the Company’s transfer agent to remove any legend on share certificates of such Holder’s Common Stock or Private Warrants (and underlying securities) restricting further transfer (or any similar restriction in book entry positions of such Holder) if such restrictions are no longer required by the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws or any agreement with the Company to which such Holder is a party, including if such shares subject to such a restriction have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, (ii) request the Company’s transfer agent to issue in lieu thereof shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants (and underlying securities) without such restrictions to the Holder upon, as applicable, surrender of any stock certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock, or warrant certificates evidencing such Private Warrants (and underlying securities) or to update the applicable book entry position of such Holder so that it no longer is subject to such a restriction, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Holder to have such Holder’s shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants (and underlying securities), as the case may be, transferred into a book-entry position at The Depository Trust Company, in each case, subject to delivery of customary documentation, including any documentation required by such restrictive legend or book-entry notation.

 

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1 Indemnification.

 

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, “Claims”), resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; except insofar as the Claim arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such filing in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.

 

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, the Company may require that, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from such Holder, to indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) from and against Claims resulting from any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company. If any Underwriter shall require any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide any indemnification other than that provided hereinabove in this subsection 4.1.2, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such election).

 

15

 

4.1.3 Any Person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such Claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a Claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such Claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such Claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault or culpability on the part of such indemnified party or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of Registrable Securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in a Registration also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Claims, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claims (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or related to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder or any director, officer, agent or controlling Person thereof under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, is made by and between AMC Robotics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the person set forth under the caption “Indemnitee” on the signature page hereto (“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) has determined that the ability to attract and retain qualified officers, directors, employees and agents is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders; and

 

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that such persons will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be adequately indemnified; and

 

WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of Article VII of the Bylaws of the Company and Article Seventh of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, in each case, as amended, and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall neither be deemed to be a substitute therefor nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be indemnified according to the terms of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Construction.

 

1.1. For the purposes of this Agreement:

 

(a) “Change in Control” means a change in control of the Company occurring after the date hereof of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or in response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided, however, that, without limitation, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if after the date hereof (i) any “person” (as such term is used in §§ 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a person who is an officer or director of the Company on the date hereof (or any of such person’s affiliates), is or becomes “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company without the prior approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board in office immediately prior to such person attaining such percentage interest; (ii) the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or other reorganization, or a proxy contest, as a consequence of which (A) members of the Board in office immediately prior to such transaction or event constitute less than a majority of the Board thereafter or (B) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction do not continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity; or (iii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board (including for this purpose any new director whose election or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board.

 

 

 

(b) “Corporate Status” means the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. In addition to service at the actual request of the Company, for purposes of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be deemed to be serving or to have served at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other enterprise if Indemnitee is or was serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such enterprise and (A) such enterprise is or at the time of such service was an affiliate of the Company, (B) such enterprise is or at the time of such service was an employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or an affiliate of the Company or (C) the Company or an affiliate of the Company directly or indirectly caused Indemnitee to be nominated, elected, appointed, designated, employed, engaged or selected to serve in such capacity.

 

(c) “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.

 

(d) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

(e) “Expenses” means all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs (including trial and appeals), transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, federal, state, local, or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, appealing, preparing to appeal (including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any costs bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent), investigating, or being or preparing to be a witness in a Proceeding.

 

2

 

(f) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any other matter material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” does not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. Except as provided in the first sentence of Section 9.3 hereof, Independent Counsel shall be selected by (a) the Disinterested Directors or (b) a committee of the Board consisting of two or more Disinterested Directors or if (a) and (b) above are not possible, then by a majority of the full Board.

 

(g) “Proceeding” means any action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, administrative hearing or any other proceeding, whether conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any other party, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, except one initiated by an Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 hereof to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

2. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee is serving as a director, officer or employee of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law).

 

3. Indemnification Generally. The Company shall indemnify and advance Expenses to Indemnitee in accordance with this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as any amendment to or interpretation of applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the rights set forth in the other Sections hereof.

 

4. Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Agreement if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in each case in connection with any such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted, in good faith, for a purpose which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, in criminal Proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

5. Proceedings by or in Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Agreement if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is or was, or is or was threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in each case in connection with the defense or settlement of any such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted, in good faith, for a purpose which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification under this paragraph shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened Proceeding or a pending Proceeding which is settled or otherwise disposed of or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction and subject to no further appeal, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought, or, if no Proceeding was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, shall determine, upon application, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.

 

3

 

6. Indemnification for Expenses of Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits, procedurally or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), in each case in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits, procedurally or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement and Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “successful, on the merits or otherwise,” includes, but is not limited to, (i) any termination, withdrawal, or dismissal (with or without prejudice) of any Proceeding against the Indemnitee without any express finding of liability or guilt against Indemnitee, including a settlement (with or without court approval), a motion for summary judgment, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, and (ii) the expiration of 90 days after the making of any claim or threat of a Proceeding without the institution of the same and without any promise or payment made to induce a settlement.

 

7. Indemnification for Expenses as a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

 

8. Advancement of Amounts. The Company shall advance all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (when eligible hereunder) and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf, in each case in connection with any Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence any judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (when eligible hereunder) and any Expenses for which advancement is requested. In connection with any request for advancement of judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement (when eligible hereunder) or of Expenses, Indemnitee shall not be required to provide any documentation or information to the extent that the provision thereof would undermine or otherwise jeopardize attorney-client privilege. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement, which shall constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to repay the advance (without interest) if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to further appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No other form of undertaking shall be required other than the execution of this Agreement. The Company’s obligation in respect of the advancement of judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement (when eligible hereunder) or of Expenses, in connection with a criminal Proceeding in which Indemnitee is a defendant, shall terminate at such time as Indemnitee pleads guilty or is convicted after trial and such conviction becomes final and no longer subject to appeal. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay such amounts and, subject to judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement being eligible for indemnification hereunder, without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, within thirty days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request (but without duplication), (a) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (b) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (c) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses. The Company shall not seek from a court, or agree to, a “bar order” which would have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Indemnitee’s rights to receive advancement of judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (when eligible hereunder) and of Expenses under this Agreement.

9. Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

 

9.1. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement in connection with any Proceeding, and for the duration thereof, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of any such request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

 

9.2. Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made in such case: (i) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel (unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made by the Board or the shareholders, in which case such determination shall be made in the manner provided for in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9.2) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee; (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, at the election of the Company, (A) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors, or (B) if a quorum of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable, by a majority of a committee of the Board consisting of two or more Disinterested Directors, or (C) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (D) by the shareholders of the Company, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of shareholders who are not parties to the proceeding, or if no such quorum is obtainable, by a majority vote of shareholders who are not parties to such proceeding; or (iii) as provided in Section 10.2 hereof. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

5

 

9.3. If a Change in Control shall have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board), and Indemnitee (or the Board, as the case may be) shall give written notice to the other party advising it of the identity of Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within seven (7) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. Such objection may be asserted only on the ground that Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1.1 hereof, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is made, Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction, for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the other’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 9.2 hereof. The Company shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with its actions pursuant to this Agreement, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 9.3 hereof, regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement date of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 11.1(iii) hereof, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

 

10. Presumptions and Effects of Certain Proceedings.

 

10.1. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9.1 hereof, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption by clear and convincing evidence in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.

 

6

 

10.2. If the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 9 hereof to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to further appeal; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith require(s) such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not apply (i) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the shareholders pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof and if (A) within 15 days after receipt by the Company of the request for such determination the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the shareholders for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within 75 days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or (B) a special meeting of shareholders is called within 15 days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within 60 days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof. In connection with each meeting at which a shareholder determination will be made, the Company shall solicit proxies that expressly include a proposal to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnitee. The Company shall afford the Indemnitee ample opportunity to present evidence of the facts upon which the Indemnitee relies for indemnification in any Company proxy statement relating to such shareholder determination. Subject to the fiduciary duties of its members under applicable law, the Board will not recommend against indemnification or reimbursement in any proxy statement relating to the proposal to indemnify or reimburse the Indemnitee.

 

10.3. The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith, for a purpose which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, or, in criminal Proceedings, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, or that Indemnitee did not meet any other applicable standard of conduct.

 

7

 

10.4. Reliance as Safe Harbor. For purposes of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, or to have met any other applicable standard of conduct, if Indemnitee’s action is based on (i) the records or books of account of the Company, or another enterprise, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise, or of an independent certified public accountant or an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which the Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct applicable hereunder. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.4 are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith, for a purpose which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, in criminal Proceedings, that Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, and that Indemnitee met any other applicable standard of conduct. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

 

11. Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

11.1. In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 9 hereof that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 hereof, (iii) the determination of indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 7 hereof within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification is not made within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or, when eligible hereunder, amounts paid in settlement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

 

11.2. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 9 hereof that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.

 

11.3. If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 9 or 10 hereof that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

 

8

 

11.4. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.5. In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section, seeks a judicial adjudication of Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement or any other agreement, including any other indemnification, contribution or advancement agreement, or any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company now or hereafter in effect, or for recovery under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company against, any and all expenses (of the kinds described in the definition of Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication, but only if Indemnitee prevails therein. In any suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Company shall pay all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such suit in the event the Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of such suit. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication that Indemnitee is entitled to receive less than all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication shall be appropriately prorated. In addition, the Company shall, if so requested by Indemnitee, advance the foregoing expenses to Indemnitee, subject to and in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

 

12. Procedure Regarding Indemnification. With respect to any Proceedings, the Indemnitee, prior to taking any action with respect to such Proceeding, shall consult with the Company as to the procedure to be followed in defending, settling, or compromising the Proceeding and may not consent to any settlement or compromise of the Proceeding without the written consent of the Company (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall be entitled to participate in defending, settling or compromising any Proceeding and to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel of its choice and shall assume such defense if requested by the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the election by, or obligation of, the Company to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably determined that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of the Proceeding, (iii) the Indemnitee has reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to Indemnitee which are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which latter case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnitee), (iv) after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel, (v) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, or (vi) the fees and expenses are non-duplicative and reasonably incurred in connection with Indemnitee’s role in the Proceedings, despite the Company’s assumption of the defense, in each of which cases all Expenses of the Proceeding shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company, or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in (ii) above or under the circumstances provided for in (iii) and (iv) above. Indemnitee agrees that any such separate counsel retained by Indemnitee will be not more than one additional firm of attorneys, and such firm shall be a member of any approved list of panel counsel under the Company’s applicable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, should the applicable policy provide for a panel of approved counsel and should such approved panel list comprise law firms with well-established reputations in the type of litigation at issue. (For clarity, the fact of a firm’s being part of a panel shall not be evidence of a firm’s having a well-established national reputation for the type of litigation at issue.) If the Company assumes the defense of a Proceeding, then counsel for the Company and Indemnitee shall keep Indemnitee reasonably informed of the status of the Proceeding and promptly send to Indemnitee copies of all documents filed or produced in the Proceeding, and the Company shall not compromise or settle any such Proceeding without the written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the relief provided shall be other than monetary damages and shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of any settlement and the amount thereof. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, or for any judicial or other award, if the Company was not given an opportunity, in accordance with this Section, to participate in the defense of such Proceeding.

13. Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; Subrogation; Contribution.

 

13.1. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement and Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, any agreement, a vote of shareholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be effective as to any Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

 

13.2. For the duration of Indemnitee’s service as a director and/or officer of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company, and thereafter for so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the scope and amount of coverage available relative to the cost thereof) to cause to be maintained in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing coverage for directors and/or officers of the Company that comparable to what similarly situated company’s would maintain. In all policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtained by the Company, Indemnitee shall be an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits, subject to the same limitations, as are accorded to the Company’s directors and officers most favorably insured by such policy. Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any good faith determination not to provide such coverage or of any lapse or termination in any such policy. In the event of a Change in Control or the Company’s becoming insolvent, the Company shall maintain in force any and all directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in respect of the individual directors and officers of the Company, for a fixed period of six years thereafter (a “Tail Policy”). Such coverage shall be non-cancellable and shall be placed and serviced for the duration of its term by the Company’s incumbent insurance broker. Such broker shall place the Tail policy with the incumbent insurance carriers using the policies that were in place at the time of the change of control event (unless the incumbent carriers will not offer such policies, in which case the Tail Policy placed by the Company’s insurance broker shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as the expiring policies, and the insurance carriers for the Tail Policy shall have an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best ratings of the expiring policies).

 

10

 

13.3. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, subject to Section 13.4 hereof, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are reasonably necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

13.4. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that payment made to Indemnitee pursuant to an insurance policy purchased and maintained by Indemnitee at his or her own expense of any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or obligated to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce the Company’s obligations to Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement.

 

13.5. If a determination is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, after Indemnitee submits a written request therefor, under this Agreement, then in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liability with the Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement and Expenses paid by the Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which Proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events that resulted in such judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement and Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement. The Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take into account the foregoing equitable considerations. The determination as to the amount of the contribution, if any, shall be made by: (i) a court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of both the Indemnitee and the Company (if the Proceeding had been brought in, and final determination had been rendered by such court); (ii) the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors; or (iii) Independent Counsel, if a quorum is not obtainable for purpose of (ii) above, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs.

 

11

 

14. Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue so long as Indemnitee may be subject to or a witness in any possible Proceeding in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder, and until one (1) year after the final termination of any such Proceeding then pending (including any rights of appeal thereto) and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 hereof relating thereto (including any rights of appeal thereto). This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, personal representatives and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

15. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section hereof containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section hereof containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

 

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Indemnitee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understanding, negotiations and discussion, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to such subject matter (the “Prior Agreements”); provided, however, that if this Agreement shall ever be held void or unenforceable for any reasons whatsoever, and is not reformed pursuant to Section 15 hereof, then (i) this Agreement shall not be deemed to have superseded any Prior Agreements; (ii) all of such Prior Agreements shall be deemed to be in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement; and (iii) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to maximum indemnification benefits provided under any Prior Agreements, as well as those provided under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, a vote of shareholders or resolution of directors.

 

17. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses.

 

17.1. Except as provided in Section 11.5 hereof, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, brought or made by Indemnitee against the Company.

 

17.2. Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding, or any claim therein, arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of § 16(b) of the Exchange Act or Company similar successor statute.

 

12

 

18. Covenant Not to Sue; Limitation of Actions; Release of Claims. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) against the Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors, personal representatives or administrators after the expiration of two (2) years from the date of accrual of such cause of action and any claim or cause of action of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the filing of a legal action within such two (2) year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitation is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

 

19. Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

20. Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

 

21. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

22. Required Notice.

 

22.1. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement covered hereunder. The failure to notify the Company on a timely basis shall not constitute a waiver of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure or delay (i) causes the amounts paid or to be paid by the Company to be greater than they otherwise would have been, (ii) adversely affects the Company’s ability to obtain for itself or Indemnitee coverage or proceeds under any insurance policy available to the Company or Indemnitee, or (iii) otherwise results in prejudice to the Company.

 

22.2. If the Indemnitee is the subject of, or is, to the knowledge of the Company, implicated in any way during an investigation, whether formal or informal, that is related to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status and that reasonably could lead to a Proceeding for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement, the Company shall notify the Indemnitee of such investigation and shall share (to the extent legally permissible) with Indemnitee any information it has provided to any third parties concerning the investigation (“Shared Information”). By executing this Agreement, Indemnitee agrees that such Shared Information is material non-public information that Indemnitee is obligated to hold in confidence and may not disclose publicly; provided, however, that Indemnitee may use the Shared Information and disclose such Shared Information to Indemnitee’s legal counsel and third parties, in each case solely in connection with defending Indemnitee from legal liability.

 

13

 

23. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom such notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

 

if to Indemnitee, to the address set forth on the signature page; or

 

if to the Company, to:

 

AMC Robotics Corporation
4794 231st Place S.E.

Sammamish, Washington 98075
Attention: Shengwei Da, Chief Executive Officer
E-mail:

 

or, in either case, to such other address or such other person as Indemnitee or the Company shall designate in writing in accordance with this Section, except that notices regarding changes in notices shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

24. Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (iv) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

 

25. Mutual Acknowledgment. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that, in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company may be required in the future in certain circumstances to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.

 

26. Monetary Damages Insufficient; Specific Performance. The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and irreparable harm will result in not forcing the Company to specifically perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking. If Indemnitee seeks mandatory injunctive relief, it shall not be a defense to enforcement of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Agreement that Indemnitee has an adequate remedy at law for damages.

The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens as do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii) Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP and the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties.

None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

 

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by such Purchaser of each Transaction Document, and performance by such Purchaser of its obligations thereunder, including the purchase of the Securities, do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of Purchaser or pursuant to the terms of  (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound or to which any of the property or assets of Purchaser is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of such Purchaser; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over Purchaser or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), for such matters that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the legal authority or ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

 

(c) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such Securities as principal for his, her or its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell such Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(d) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S).

 

 

 

(e) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(f) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(g) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

 

(h) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, accountants, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

 

(i) Accredited Investor Status. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Purchaser agrees and understands that the Company may be required to file a Form D with the SEC in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby and consents to such filing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

 

 

 

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(c) Book entries evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act (provided the Purchaser delivers any reasonably requested representation letters to the Transfer Agent and Company U.S. Counsel), (ii) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale limitations, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale limitations and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144,or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate or report representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend together with any reasonably requested representation letters to the Transfer Agent and Company U.S. Counsel (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate or report representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates or book entries for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate or report representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend.

 

 

 

(d) In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after the Legend Removal Date) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate or report is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date a certificate or report representing the Securities so delivered to the Company by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Ordinary Share to deliver in satisfaction of a sale of a number of Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Ordinary Shares that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Shares or Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Purchaser to the Company of the applicable Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(e) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates or reports representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

(a) Until the earlier of the time that (i) no Purchaser owns Securities or (ii) the Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Ordinary Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(b) At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of such Purchaser’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchasers to transfer the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3rd) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5)% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Nothing herein shall limit such Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Public Information Failure, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

 

 

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.4 Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, Affiliates or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with (i) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) and reasonably cooperate with such Purchaser regarding such disclosure.

 

4.5 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

 

4.6 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents, not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall, after consummation of the Target Transaction, simultaneously with the delivery of such notice file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

 

 

4.7 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes for the Company after the consummation of the Target Transaction and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations; provided that the Subscription Amount shall be held in an escrow account with the Escrow Agent until the such time as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

 

4.8 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.8, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is solely based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (c) in connection with any registration statement of the Company providing for the resale by the Purchasers of the Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will indemnify each Purchaser Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser Party furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser Party expressly for use therein, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection therewith. If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

 

 

4.9 Reservation of Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement and Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.

 

4.10 Listing of Ordinary Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain the listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on which ATMV is currently listed. The Company will take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market after the Closing and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

4.11 General Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate shall solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

4.12 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of this Agreement) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

4.13 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules (other than as disclosed to its legal and other representatives). Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

 

 

 

4.14 [Intentionally omitted].

 

4.15 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

 

4.16 Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required in order to exercise the Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.17 Form D and Blue Sky. The Company shall file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and provide a copy thereof to the Purchaser promptly after such filing. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to, qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date. Without limiting any other obligation of the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall timely make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, all applicable federal securities laws and all applicable “Blue Sky” laws), and the Company shall comply with all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, statutes, rules, regulations and the like relating to the offering and sale of the Securities to the Purchaser.

 

4.18 Trust Waiver. The Purchaser understands that, as described in AlphaVest’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated December 19, 2022 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, AlphaVest has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (“IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including without limitation interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of AlphaVest’s public shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, AlphaVest may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their AlphaVest shares in connection with the consummation of AlphaVest’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if AlphaVest fails to consummate a Business Combination within the required time period in accordance with AlphaVest’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in liquidation and dissolution expenses, or (d) to AlphaVest after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company and AlphaVest entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Purchaser hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom), with respect any claim based upon, arising out of out of, resulting from, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Purchaser on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Purchaser or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom) for any Released Claims. The Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company, AlphaVest and their affiliates to induce them to enter into this Agreement, and the Purchaser further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Purchaser and each of its affiliates under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this “Trust Waiver” shall not affect any rights of the Purchaser or its affiliates as Public Shareholders to receive distributions from the Trust Account in their capacities as Public Shareholders. The provisions of this “Trust Waiver” section will survive any termination of this Agreement or discussions between the parties and continue indefinitely.

 

 

 

4.19. Variable Rate Transactions. Until one year from the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Variable Rate Transaction (excluding sales by the Company of its Common Stock pursuant to an at-the-market offering and the Warrants issued in connection with this transaction) without the consent of the holders of 75% of the shares sold by the Company in the private placement transactions occurring concurrently with the closing of the Target Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company issues or sells any convertible equity securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Company Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such convertible securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such convertible securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary Shares, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the New York County, New York (and appellate courts thereof). Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the New York County, New York (and appellate courts thereof) for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

 

5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

 

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

 

 

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Ordinary Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

 

 

5.17 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

 

5.18 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.19 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.20 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

5.21 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

(a) On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities that are not then registered on an effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1. Each subsequent Registration Statement filed hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e)) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed by at least 85% in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto as Annex A and substantially the “Selling Shareholder” section attached hereto as Annex B; provided, however, that no Holder shall be required to be named as an “underwriter” without such Holder’s express prior written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 3(c)) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within one (1) Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Event under Section 2(d).

 

(b) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form, and subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) with respect to the payment of liquidated damages; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.

 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows:

 

(i) First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included other than Registrable Securities;

 

(ii) Second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders); and

 

(iii) Third, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants (applied, in the case that some Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants held by such Holders).

 

 

 

(d) If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a) herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such ten (10) or fifteen (15) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

 

(e) If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as any Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.

 

3. Registration Procedures.

 

In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

(a) Not less than three (3) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than five (5) Trading Days after the Holders have been so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Shareholder Questionnaire”) on a date that is not less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the Filing Date or by the end of the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with this Section.

 

 

 

(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and (iv) comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c) If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case prior to the applicable Filing Date, an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

 

(d) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

 

 

(e) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

(f) Furnish to each Holder, at the request of such Holder and without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.

 

(g) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

 

(h) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

 

(i) If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may request.

 

(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its shareholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(d), for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12-month period.

 

 

 

(k) Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.

 

(l) Upon the Company satisfying the requirements for eligibility of Form S-3, the Company shall use its best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.

 

(m) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

 

4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

 

 

 

5. Indemnification.

 

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Ordinary Shares), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(c). The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Holders in accordance with Section 6(f).

 

(b) Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Holder’s information provided in the Selling Shareholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a selling Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

 

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

 

 

6. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each of the Company and each Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

(b) No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) attached hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) attached hereto and for registration statements filed in connection with the Company’s issuance or sale of securities issuable upon the exercise of options or vesting of equity awards, pursuant to any incentive plan, or benefits plan, or share ownership plan or dividend reinvestment plan of the Company, whether now in effect or hereafter implemented, the Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement so long as no new securities are registered on any such existing registration statements.

 

(c) Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(d).

 

(d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of 50% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Holder (or group of Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Holder (or group of Holders) shall be required. If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder or some Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given only by such Holder or Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

 

(e) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

 

 

(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(g) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(i), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied in full.

 

(h) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

(i) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(j) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

(k) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

(l) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(m) Independent Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Holder. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Holders collectively and not between and among Holders.

ORDINARY SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT

 

ALPHAVEST ACQUISITION CORP

 

Warrant No. WA-003 Issue Date: December 2, 2025
   
Warrant Shares: 420,000 Initial Exercise Date: [                 ], 2025

 

THIS ORDINARY SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Kami Vision Incorporated or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date set forth above (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from AlphaVest Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), up to 210,000 Ordinary Shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated December 1, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

 

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be $10.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

 

Net Number = the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
     
  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
     
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Ordinary Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market and is then listed or quoted for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) or the OTCQX Best Market (“OTCQX”), the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market or the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on the Pink Open Market (“Pink Market”) operated by the OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

 

 

“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market and is then listed or quoted for trading on the OTCQB or OTCQX, the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on a Trading Market or the OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on the Pink Market operated by the OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective and current registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares so delivered are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the latest of (i) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company, (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, and (iv) the delivery of any representation letters or certificates reasonably requested by the Transfer Agent or Company U.S. Counsel (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

 

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Deleted and Reserved.

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Warrant Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

 

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Ordinary Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Ordinary Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of the Ordinary Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

 

 

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

 

 

d) Fundamental Transaction. Except for the Target Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Domestication), if, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the number of common or Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized Ordinary Shares for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

 

 

 

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

f) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

g) Deleted and reserved.

 

h) Reset. On the Reset Date, the Exercise Price for this Warrant shall be adjusted to the Reference Price. Upon such reset of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(h), the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such reset shall be adjusted to the number of Ordinary Shares determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect at issuance by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reset and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such reset, provided that that no reset will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

 

 

 

i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder requests to exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any given date prior to the Reset Date, solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant being exercised on such applicable Exercise Date, (a) such applicable Reset Date shall be deemed to mean the Exercise Date, and (b) the applicable Reference Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such reset for such exercised Warrants shall be calculated pursuant to this Section 3(h). For the avoidance of doubt, following the calculation of the Reference Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such reset pursuant to this Section 3(h)(i), the Company’s obligations with regard to such exercised Warrants shall be deemed satisfied and no additional Reference Price shall apply to such exercised Warrants.

 

j) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as mutually determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Required Holders, so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(j) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

 

 

d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any share certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or share certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or share certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or share certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

 

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.

 

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

AMC CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

Description of Business

 

AMC Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “the Company” or “AMC”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on October 21, 2021. The Company’s product portfolio includes YI dome guard, home camera, and outdoor camera, designed for residential homes and small businesses. The Company operates by acquiring security cameras from suppliers in Asia and subsequently retailing them through e-commerce platforms across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

 

Business combination (the “Merger”)

 

On August 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with AlphaVest Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC”). In June 2025, the Company amended the BCA to increase the enterprise value from $175,000,000 to $180,000,000 and extended the termination date from June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025. As a result of the Business Combination, SPAC will become a Delaware corporation, the shareholder of the Company will become a shareholder of SPAC, and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC.

 

Contractual arrangements with variable interest entities (“VIEs”)

 

The e-commerce online stores for the respective regions are operated under the entities Shanghai Xiaoyun Technology Limited (“Xiaoyun”) and Kunshan Yishijue Technology Limited (“Yishijue”). These entities have authorized the Company to utilize their e-commerce platform accounts free of charge for a duration of 5 years, starting from October 21, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the “Authorization Agreement”). The Authorization Agreement with Xiaoyun and Yishijue will continue until the existing inventory of AMC’s products is sold, upon which it will be terminated.

 

Two nominal individuals hold shares of Yishijue and Xiaoyun on behalf of Sean Da, the Company’s majority shareholder. However, Sean controls the primary economic activities of these two entities, such as the authorization or transfer of online stores on e-commerce platforms to AMC.

 

Yishijue has no business operations other than owning the online stores it authorizes the Company to use. It had no revenue since inception and only incurred general administrative, finance expenses, and interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Xiaoyun was founded in July 2020 to provide services for applying for patents and intellectual properties (IP). It ceased its services at the end of 2022 and has not generated any revenue since then. Xiaoyun has no plans to continue operating its original business to provide patent and IP services or to start a new business in the future.

 

 

 

Consolidation Analysis

 

Entity being evaluated   Variable Interest   VIE?   Primary Beneficiary   Consolidation?
Kunshan Yishijue Technology Limited (“Yishijue”)   Authorization Agreement   Yes   AMC   Yes
Shanghai Xiaoyun Technology Limited (“Xiaoyun”)   Authorization Agreement   Yes   AMC   Yes

 

By-design Approach

 

The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation. Specifically, ASC 810-10-25-22D outlines the by-design approach for determining whether a legal entity should be consolidated as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE). This approach involves a two-step analysis to evaluate the nature and purpose of the legal entity, ensuring the appropriate treatment of variable interests.

 

Step 1:

Analyze the nature of the risks in the legal entity (ASC 810-10-25-24 through 25-25):

 

The first step requires identifying the risks associated with the legal entity. These risks could include operational, market, financial, or other factors that affect the variability in the legal entity’s performance and outcomes. The Company assesses these risks to understand how they contribute to variability in the legal entity’s financial structure.

   
  The evaluated entities — Yishijue and Xiaoyun — have operational risks that create variability in their performance and outcomes.
   
Step 2:

Determine the purpose for which the legal entity was created and determine the variability (created by the risks identified in Step 1) the legal entity is designed to create and pass along to its interest holders (ASC 810-10-25-26 through 25-36):

 

The second step involves examining the legal entity’s intended purpose. This includes determining the variability the legal entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders. By identifying the specific risks and their intended transfer, the Company can assess whether its interests are variable and if consolidation is necessary.

 

  Yishijue and Xiaoyun began passing along their operational risks to AMC upon signing the Authorization Agreement on AMC’s inception date, as neither entity engages in any business operations other than owning the online stores they authorized AMC to use. Therefore, the Authorization Agreements of both Yishijue and Xiaoyun are considered variable interests. Yishijue and Xiaoyun are variable interest entities.

 

Beneficiary Analysis

 

If the entity being evaluated is a VIE, The Company then follows the guidance under ASC 810-10-25-38A to determine the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the reporting entity that is required to consolidate the VIE. Within the VIE model, the party that is determined to have a controlling financial interest is referred to as the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the variable interest holder that has both of the following criteria:

 

  1) Power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance (the power criterion)
  2) The obligation to absorb losses of the entity, or the right to receive benefits of the entity, which could be potentially significant to the entity (the economics criterion)

 

If a reporting entity determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE does not have an equity investment in the entity, the primary beneficiary must consolidate 100% of the balance sheet and income statement of the VIE and should generally apply consolidation procedures as if it were the parent in a typical parent-subsidiary relationship.

 

 

 

The operation of online stores is the most significant business activity influencing the economic performance of Yishijue and Xiaoyun. AMC has the authority to direct the operations of these stores in ways that most significantly impact their economic performance (power criterion). Additionally, AMC bears the obligation to absorb losses or has the right to receive benefits from the operations of online stores on the e-commerce platforms owned by Yishijue and Xiaoyun (economics criterion). Therefore, AMC is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the financial statements of Yishijue and Xiaoyun.

 

Based on this assessment, the Company has consolidated Yishijue and Xiaoyun in its financial statements, reflecting their risk transfer structure and AMC’s controlling financial interest.

 

Accounting for Authorization Agreement

 

The values of the Amazon stores under Yishijue and Xiaoyun were deemed immaterial as of October 21, 2021. Consequently, these entities did not charge AMC any usage fees.

 

The authorization agreements by Yishijue and Xiaoyun are considered variable interests, and these two entities have been considered as variable interest entities (VIEs) since October 21, 2021. As a result, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of Yishijue and Xiaoyun. Therefore, the authorization agreements are essentially intercompany transactions that have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Authorization Agreement with Xiaoyun and Yishijue will remain in effect until the existing inventory of AMC’s products has been sold, at which time the agreements will be terminated. Once the Authorization Agreements are terminated, the two VIEs, Xiaoyun and Yishijue, will be deconsolidated from AMC’s financial statements, as the variable interests will no longer exist. AMC will operate the online stores on the e-commerce platforms independently. The two VIEs will no longer pass along risks or benefits to AMC, and AMC will no longer be the beneficiary of the two VIEs, as AMC will no longer control their economic performance.

 

Assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, equity and results of operations of VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of these entities’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2025     2024  
      (Unaudited)       (Audited)  
Current asset:                
Other receivable from AMC   $ -     $ 821,982  
Other current asset     3,720       2,089  
Total Asset   $ 3,720     $ 824,071  
Current liability:                
Short term bank loan   $ -     $ 821,982  
Other current liability     12,474       15,959  
Total Liability   $ 12,474     $ 837,941  

 

In November, 2024, Xiaoyun obtained a bank loan of 6 million RMB (equivalent to $821,982 as of December 31, 2024) from Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Bank (HSBC) with a six-month term and an interest rate of 8%. The loan proceeds were used to pay Senslab, AMC’s supplier, for inventory purchases on behalf of AMC. As a result, the primary current liability of the VIE Xiaoyun is this short-term bank loan and the primary current asset is the intercompany transaction “other receivable from AMC”. This intercompany receivable is eliminated against “other payable–related party” on AMC’s books in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

In April, 2025, Xiaoyun repaid the RMB 6 million loan in full to HSBC, including accrued interest, using payments received from AMC. As a result, the intercompany receivable and payable between Xiaoyun and AMC were settled in conjunction with the loan repayment.

 

Cash and asset transfer between AMC and VIEs

 

There were no cash or asset transfer between AMC and VIEs as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Risks in relation to the VIE structure

 

In the opinion of management, based on the legal opinion obtained from the Company’s local legal counsel, the ownership structures of the Company and its VIEs, do not and will not violate any applicable local laws, regulations, or rules currently in effect; the agreements among the Company, each of the VIEs and its nominee shareholders, governed by local laws, as described above, are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and applicable local laws, rules, and regulations currently in effect, both currently and immediately after giving effect to the listing in capital market, and do not and will not violate any applicable local laws, regulations, or rules currently in effect. However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future local laws and regulations. Accordingly, if the local government finds that the contractual arrangements do not comply with its restrictions on foreign ownership of businesses, or if the local government otherwise finds that the Company and the VIEs are in violation of local laws or regulations or lack the necessary permits or licenses to operate the Company’s business, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including:

 

  revoking the business and operating licenses of the Company;
  discontinuing or restricting the operations;
  imposing fines or confiscating any of VIEs’ income that they deem to have been obtained through illegal operations;
  imposing conditions or requirements with which the Company’s subsidiaries or the VIEs may not be able to comply;
  requiring the Company to restructure the ownership structure or operations, including terminating the contractual arrangements with the VIEs;
  restricting or prohibiting the Company’s use of the proceeds of overseas offering to finance the business and operations in these jurisdictions; or
  taking other regulatory or enforcement actions that could be harmful to the business.

 

In June 2025, the Company issued 228,571 shares of its common stock to Kami for a total purchase price of $5,000,000. The proceeds were fully collected from Kami in July, 2025. On July 31, 2025, Sean Da transferred 345,714 shares of common stock to Smart Top Corporation Limited and 340,000 shares to ZKCam Technology Limited, each with a par value of $0.01 per share, as an irrevocable gift without receiving any consideration. These corporate restructurings did not cause the Company to lose its rights to direct the activities of the two VIEs. Sean Da remains the majority shareholder of the Company.

 

If the imposition of any of these penalties or requirement to restructure the Company’s corporate structure causes it to lose the rights to direct the activities of the two VIEs or the Company’s right to receive its economic benefits, the Company would no longer be able to consolidate the financial results of the two VIEs in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted consistent with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, results of operations for the three and nine months and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal years. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2024. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period.

 

The Company’s fiscal year-end date is December 31.

 

Variable interest entities

 

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), the Company is required to include in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of its variable interest entities (“VIEs”). ASC 810 requires a VIE to be consolidated if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. Under ASC 810, a reporting entity has a controlling financial interest in a VIE, and must consolidate that VIE, if the reporting entity has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The reporting entity’s determination of whether it has this power is not affected by the existence of kick-out rights or participating rights, unless a single enterprise, including its related parties and de - facto agents, have the unilateral ability to exercise those rights.

 

On AMC’s inception date, October 21, 2021, Yishijue and Xiaoyun authorized the Company to utilize their e-commerce platform accounts free of charge for a duration of five years. Through these contractual arrangements, the Company bears all risks of loss and is entitled to all benefits derived from Yishijue and Xiaoyun. In accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, the Company is the primary beneficiary of Yishijue and Xiaoyun. As a result, Yishijue and Xiaoyun are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”) of the Company, and their financial statements have been consolidated from the date control was established, October 21, 2021. The stockholders of Yishijue and Xiaoyun do not hold any kick-out rights that affect the consolidation determination.

 

Xiaoyun and Yishijue are expected to cease selling AMC’s products upon depletion of existing inventory by the end of 2025, at which time their Authorization Agreements will be terminated. The Company will reassess the accounting treatment following the termination of the Authorization Agreements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the two VIEs of Xiaoyun and Yishijue. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, valuation of inventory, estimated replacement rates to calculate warranty liabilities and warranty expenses.

 

 

 

Foreign Currency and foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s reporting currency is U.S. dollars (“USD”). The functional currency for the two VIEs is Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of AMC is U.S. dollars.

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are translated into functional currency at the exchange rates quoted by authoritative banks prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currencies received from the European and Canadian ecommerce platforms are translated into USD. Exchange gains and losses resulting from those foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded as other income or other expense.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated from the respective functional currencies into USD. Assets and liabilities are translated into USD using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts other than earnings generated in current period are translated into USD at the appropriate historical rates. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated into USD using the periodic average exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash consists of cash in bank with no restrictions and highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and have remaining maturities of three months or less when initially purchased.

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash balances of $3,015,102 and $358,887, respectively, and $nil cash equivalents for each reporting date. Please refer to “Concentration of credit risk” section for the credit risk of cash in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000.

 

Accounts receivable and Accounts receivable- related party

 

Accounts receivable is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from customers through the e-commerce platforms. Accounts receivable- related party is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from Kami Vision Incorporated (hereinafter referred to as “Kami”) for revenue shares. Please refer to Note 8- Related party balances and transactions.

 

 

 

Credit losses were estimated using the loss-rate method, which analyzes the probability of unrecoverable accounts based on an expected loss ratio. This ratio is calculated using the average historical loss rate, adjusted for forward-looking factors such as inflation, real GDP growth, unemployment rates, and industry sales growth.

 

No allowance for credit loss is recorded for “accounts receivable” or “accounts receivable- related-party”, as the average historical loss rate is 0% based on historical receivable write-offs. The Company writes off receivable balances against the allowance only after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is deemed remote. To date, the Company has experienced little, if any, uncollectible accounts receivable or accounts receivable-related party.

 

Other receivable- related party, net

 

Other receivables – related party primarily consist of a receivable from Kami for marketing subsidies, a receivable from Ants, and advance payments made to the Company’s majority shareholder, Sean Da, for business travel.

 

The balances presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets are net of allowance for credit losses. Refer to Note 8 “Related party balances and transactions”. In connection with the assessment of current expected credit loss under ASC Topic 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Company recorded $nil and a reversal for credit losses of $72,470 during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $nil and a provision for credit losses of $279,712 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, against receivables due from Ants, using the loss-rate method. Refer to the above section of “Accounts receivable and Accounts receivable- related party” for details about the loss-rate method, and to Note 8 – “Provision for Credit Losses – Related Party” for information regarding the reversal and provision for credit losses related to Ants Technology (HK) Limited.

 

Inventories, net

 

The inventory costs include the product costs and the freight-in costs. Product costs are based on the purchase price using the moving average cost method. On a monthly basis, product costs are recalculated based upon the average product cost per unit. Freight-in costs are allocated to each product using the average freight-in cost per unit.

 

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories on a quarterly basis for potential net realizable value adjustments, reducing the carrying value of inventories that exceed their estimated net realizable value. Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the inventories are written down to net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Any excessive spoilage is recorded as current period charges.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 100% of the Company’s inventories were purchased from related parties, Senslab HK Limited and its subsidiary Senslab Technology Co., Ltd (collectively referred to as “Senslab”). Refer to Note 12 “Concentration Risk” for purchases from each supplier under Supplier Concentration. AMC has secured favorable payment terms with Senslab, extending the payment period from 60 days to 180 days.

 

 

 

Deferred offering costs associated with the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, AMC is accounting acquirer, and as a result, qualifying transaction costs incurred by AMC are treated as deferred offering cost and any balance below the net proceeds from this reverse recapitalization will be charged directly to equity. This recording complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of legal and other professional expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the proposed Business Combination and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the proposed Business Combination with any balance below the net proceeds from this Business Combination. Should the proposed Business Combination prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operation expenses. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the related costs in the aggregate of $540,204 and $233,339, respectively, have been recorded as deferred offering cost.

 

Revenue

 

The Company generated revenues of $1,498,031 and $3,159,027 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and of $4,687,830 and $8,010,472 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Total Revenues     1,498,030       3,159,027       4,687,830       8,010,472  

 

According to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (FASB ASC Topic 606), revenue is recognized or realizable and earned when all five of the following criteria are met: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is reported net of all value added taxes.

 

—Performance Obligation

 

The Company satisfies the performance obligation in the contract and recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-23.

 

For the product sales via e-commerce platforms, revenues are recognized when the products are shipped to customers. Since e-commerce platforms handle the shipping of products on behalf of the Company and takes responsibility for lost packages, revenue is recognized on the statements from e-commerce platforms once the orders are shipped by the Company. The e-commerce platforms pay the Company within 3 to 14 days after the products are shipped. Since the Company does not receive payments before product shipment, it does not have any deferred revenue.

 

 

 

For the revenue share received from Kami, revenues are recognized when an end user referred by AMC subscribes to the cloud service provided by Kami and makes a payment. Kami sends the Company a monthly notice summarizing the revenue share generated from the Company’s customers who utilize Kami’s cloud services. These cloud services involve storing recorded videos, image analysis, and providing alert and intelligence detection. According to the revenue share agreement, Kami allocates 30% of subscription revenues to AMC for new customers referred by AMC during the first year of subscription, 15% of the revenue for second-year customers, and no allocation for subsequent years (hereinafter referred to as “Revenue Share”). On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into an amended agreement with Kami to update the Revenue Share percentages. Under the amended agreement, Kami allocates 30% of subscription revenues to AMC for new customers referred by AMC during the first three years of their recurring subscriptions. In accordance with ASC 606-10-25-12, this revenue share contract modification is not accounted for as a separate contract as it neither increases the scope of the contract nor does the price increase reflect a standalone selling price for any additional goods or services. As the modification does not constitute a separate contract, the Company accounts for it prospectively and it has no impact on revenue previously recognized.

 

—Transaction Price

 

The transaction price for product sales is fixed as the listing price on the e-commerce platforms. To promote product sales, the Company periodically reduces the listing price. As a result, promotions are offered as a reduced fixed price displayed on the e-commerce platform, and revenue is recognized based upon the reduced price.

 

Revenues collected from platform customers are deposited into a cross-border payments platform, to which the Company has direct control and access.

 

The transaction price for the Revenue Share from Kami is based upon fixed percentages stipulated in the contract. This revenue share does not involve any variable considerations or considerations in a form other than cash.

 

—Product Return Policy

 

The Company has a product return policy that permits e-commerce platform customers in North America to return products within 30 days from the date of purchase. For items purchased during the holiday season from October to December, the return period is extended until the end of January in the following year. For customers in Europe, the return period for e-commerce platforms is 30 days from the date of purchase. Within these specified periods, the Company offers a full refund for returned products, provided the return criteria are met.

 

The Company recognizes revenues adjusted for returns based upon the e-commerce platform statements, which reflect the actual refunds for returns. The Company reviews the subsequent statements after the reporting date and adjusts revenue for returns related to sales in the reporting period accordingly. For returns occurring during the reporting period, adjustments are made in the month of the return. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s revenue was not significantly impacted by returns due to the short-term free return policy.

 

—Product Warranty

 

The product warranty does not provide cash payments to customers from e-commerce platforms; instead, it only offers free product replacements. Refer to the Note 11 “Warranty Liabilities” for further details.

 

—Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net

 

According to ASU 2016-08 Principle versus Agent Considerations, when a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the entity must determine whether its performance obligation is to provide the good or service itself (i.e., the entity is a principal) or to arrange for another party to provide the good or service (i.e., the entity is an agent). An entity makes this determination by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. An entity is a principal (and, therefore, records revenue on a gross basis) if it controls the promised good or service before transferring it to the customer. An entity is an agent (and records as revenue the net amount it retains as a commission) if its only role is to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services.

 

For the product sales via e-commerce platforms, the Company is a principal and recognizes revenue on a gross basis. The Company is a principal because it controls the promised good or service before transferring it to a customer. This control is determined by the following indicators 1) The Company is the primary obligor in the sales transaction and responsible for providing products and service. 2) The Company bears the inventory risk. The Company will first indemnify customers for product damages and then request reimbursements from suppliers if the suppliers are determined to be responsible for the damages. 3) The Company selects suppliers and manages the entire sales process. 4) The Company sets the product price and has control over the entire transaction. The Company takes the risk of collectability of the accounts receivable.

 

 

 

There is no consignment arrangement between the Company and the suppliers. The Company is obligated to make payments for the goods when acquiring them from the suppliers, without the option to pay after the products have been sold. The Company assumes all inventory risks associated with the purchased goods. Furthermore, the products will be shipped directly from Amazon warehouses to the customers, with no direct shipments from the supplier’s warehouse to the customers.

 

For the Revenue Share from Kami, who provides cloud services to the Company’s customers, the Company acts as an agent and recognizes revenue on a net basis. The net revenue represents the Company’s share as determined by the percentages specified in the Revenue Share agreement with Kami. The Company is an agent because it is not responsible for fulfilling the promise of delivering cloud services to customers. Additionally, the Company does not bear the risks associated with the cloud service subscriptions or determine the subscription prices.

 

Cost of revenues

 

Cost of revenues includes cost of products, e-commerce platform fees, delivery and freight costs, and inventory impairment loss. The Company expenses cost of revenues in conjunction with sales as incurred. The Company incurred cost of revenues of $444,929 and $3,182,864 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2,879,816 and $7,501,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of costs for consulting fees, payroll expenses, storage fees, and professional fees. The Company expensed all general and administrative expense as incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $330,139 and $663,277, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,931,788 and $1,540,053, respectively.

 

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of costs for the promotion of business brand and product marketing and warranty expenses. The Company expensed all marketing and advertising costs as incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred sales and marketing expenses of $39,622 and $483,093, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred sales and marketing expenses of $651,841 and $1,527,953, respectively.

 

Provision and reversal for credit losses

 

The Company determines expected credit losses using the loss-rate method, applying an estimated loss rate to the ending balances of accounts receivable, other receivables, other receivable - related party, subscription receivable, and promissory notes receivable. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $nil and a reversal of credit losses of $72,470, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $nil and a provision of credit losses of $279,712, respectively.

 

Warranty expenses

 

Sales of products via the e-commerce platforms include warranties to customers that replace malfunctional products. These standard warranties are assurance type warranties and do not offer any services in addition to the assurance that the product will continue working as specified for one or more years. Therefore, warranties are not considered separate performance obligations in the arrangement. Instead, the expected cost of warranties is accrued as an expense in accordance with authoritative guidance.

 

 

 

Other income/(expense)

 

Other income – related party consists of subsidy income from Kami to support the Company’s marketing campaigns via the e-commerce platforms and income from customer support services for Ants’ former customers prior to the authorization of its Amazon store to the Company. Please refer to Note 8 – Related party balances and transactions for details. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized other income – related party of $nil and $392,578, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized other income – related party of $1,217,586 and $1,021,815, respectively.

 

Other income from non-related parties mainly consists of foreign exchange gain. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net other income of $24,230 and $35,653, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net other income of $13,552 and $35,382, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC740, “Income Taxes”. The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, the provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable (or received or receivable) for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid, and result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are calculated as the Company’s anticipated tax rate times the difference between its taxable income and accounting earnings before taxes.

 

Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all potential sources of taxable income, including income available in carryback periods, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, projections of taxable income, and income from tax planning strategies, as well as all available positive and negative evidence. Positive evidence includes factors such as a history of profitable operations, projections of future profitability within the carryforward period, including from tax planning strategies, and the Company’s experience with similar operations. Existing favorable contracts and the ability to sell products into established markets are additional positive evidence. Negative evidence includes items such as cumulative losses, projections of future losses, or carryforward periods that are not long enough to allow for the utilization of a deferred tax asset based on existing projections of income. Deferred tax assets for which no valuation allowance is recorded may not be realized upon changes in facts and circumstances, resulting in a future charge to establish a valuation allowance.

 

Tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return are recorded when such benefits meet a more likely than not threshold. Otherwise, these tax benefits are recorded when a tax position has been effectively settled, which means that the statute of limitation has expired or the appropriate taxing authority has completed their examination even though the statute of limitations remains open. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and are accrued beginning in the period that such interest and penalties would be applicable under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized. There were no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. All tax returns since the Company’s inception are subject to examination by tax authorities.

 

Comprehensive loss

 

The Company applies ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss is defined to include all changes in equity of the Company during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances except those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. For the periods presented, the Company’s comprehensive loss includes net loss and other comprehensive loss, which primarily consists of the foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

 

 

Lease

 

The lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company determines if a contract contains a lease based on (1) whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset which the Company does not own and (2) whether it has the right to direct the use of an identified asset in exchange for consideration.

 

Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives received. Lease 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 (“IBR”), because the interest rate implicit in most of the Company’s leases is not readily determinable. The IBR is a hypothetical rate based on the Company’s understanding of what its credit rating would be to borrow and resulting interest the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment over the lease term on a collateralized basis. Lease payments may be fixed or variable, however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

 

The lease right-of-use assets are initially measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability and adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining balance of lease incentives received, unamortized initial direct costs, or impairment charges relating to the right-of-use-asset. Lease expense for minimum lease payments exclusive of the value-added tax are recognized on straight-line basis over the lease term Additionally, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, which allows entities to not apply the ASC 842 to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less). The Company has also elected to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for all leases, and elected to utilize an IBR (incremental borrowing rate) that is risk free rate plus premium for all leases when calculating the lease liability.

 

Net loss per share

 

Net loss per share is computed in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period under treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. an increase in earnings per share amounts or a decrease in loss per share amounts) on net loss per share. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.

 

Fair value measurements

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1: Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
     
  Level 2: Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 3: Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

 

 

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, advance to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities approximate fair value as they all have a short-term nature. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. As of September 30, 2025, the Company does not have any “Level 2” or “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had uninsured cash balances of $2,604,644 and $nil, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Segment reporting

 

ASC 280 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise which engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which is the company’s chief executive officer (CEO), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Reportable segments are defined as an operating segment that either (a) exceeds 10% of revenue, or (b) reported profit or loss in absolute amount exceeds 10% of profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or (c) exceeds 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments. AMC has Amazon online accounts in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Revenue from the Canadian Amazon online store does not exceed 10% of the total revenue. Therefore, AMC has determined that it has two primary operating segments (1) North America and (2) Europe. Given that the two VIEs, Xiaoyun and Yishijue, are headquartered and operated in China, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are bifurcated into three segments: (1) North America, (2) Europe, and (3) China.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

 

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. Because of the variety of Topics amended, a broad range of entities may be affected by one or more of those amendments. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements and for entities required to file or furnish financial statements with or to the SEC in preparation for the sale of or for purposes of issuing securities that are not subject to contractual restrictions on transfer, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively. For all entities, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities (PBEs). ASU 2024-03 adds ASC 220-40 to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring PBEs to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. The ASU does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 shall be effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with a public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company.

The Amazon online store for the North America region operates under Ants Technology (HK) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Ants”). Ants has authorized the Company to utilize its Amazon account free of charge for a duration of 5 years, starting from October 21, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the “Authorization Agreement”). AMC has terminated the Authorization Agreement early and assumed ownership of the online store on the e-commerce platform from Ants in January, 2025. Ants has transferred to the Company all of its ownership in the Amazon online store, including but not limited to the ownership of the shop, business operation rights, customer resources, operational data, technical data, brand usage rights, intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc, if applicable), and other assets and rights related to the operation of the Amazon online store. Sean Da, who is the majority shareholder of the Company, owns 95% of Ants.

 

Prepayment – related party (current and non-current)

 

Upon signing the Authorization Agreement, the Company agreed to sell Ants’ remaining camera inventories. During the first year of the Authorization Agreement, Ants covered the freight-in costs related to shipping products to Amazon warehouses, insurance expense, along with various other general and administrative expenses. As such, the Company was responsible for (1) paying Ants the revenue collected from selling Ants’ remaining inventories in the Amazon warehouses and (2) reimbursing the costs Ants paid on behalf of the Company. To cover these two types of payments, the Company prepaid Ants $359,192 in 2022. This prepayment will be amortized by the total amount of (1) collected revenue from selling Ants’ inventories as they are sold, (2) the cost reimbursements to Ants, and (3) financial consulting fees to Ants (starting on January 1st, 2025) for engaging employees from Ants to work as contractors for bookkeeping at a monthly rate of $5,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the total amount of collected revenue from selling Ants’ inventories was $121 and $1,129, respectively. Additionally, the Company paid Ants financial consulting fees of $15,000 for the three months ended September 30,2025 and $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the remaining balance of prepayment was $81,844 and $126,965, respectively.

 

Other receivable – related party

 

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had “other receivable – related party” balances from Ants of $4,347 and $1,790,009, respectively. The following table presents the movement of “other receivable – related party” balances from Ants.

 

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2025     2024

Financial Consulting (3)     -       (60,000 )
Balance at the end of the period   $ 4,347     $ 1,790,009  

 

  (1) Prior to April 2022, Ants received payments from Amazon customers on behalf of the Company. After April 2022, the Company took control and gained access to the third-party cross-border payments platform, enabling it to receive revenue payments directly from Amazon customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, Ants repaid $1,790,009 and $346,458 to the Company, respectively.

 

 

 

  (2) For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total inventory-related movement of $427,994 comprised:

 

  $325,646 in inventory transferred from the Company to Ants on January 1, 2024 as part of transferring the Company’s right to utilize one of e-commerce stores under Yishijue to Ants. The Company no longer retains control over these inventories. Ants has agreed to pay the Company $325,646 for these inventories once they are sold.
  $102,348 in inventory that the Company returned to Ants due to quality issues - these items had been previously purchased from Ants during a period of supply shortage in 2023.

 

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company returned inventory of $4,347 to Ants. These inventories, which had been purchased from Ants in prior periods, were returned to Ants due to quality issues.
     
  (3) The Company engaged employees from Ants to work as contractors for bookkeeping and thus paid Ants financial consulting fees. Beginning January 2025, Ants agreed to settle its financial consulting fees through “prepayment – related party” rather than through “other receivable – related party” account. Therefore, the financial consulting fee included in “other receivable – related party” is $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Provision for credit losses – related party

 

Ants fully repaid its $1,790,009 other receivable balance to the Company in April 2025, resulting in a total allowance for credit losses of $nil and a carrying value of $nil for the “other receivable-related party” balance due from Ants as of September 30, 2025.

11. WARRANTY LIABILITIES

 

The Company has a warranty policy that allows customers who have purchased items from the e-commerce platforms in North America to return malfunctioning products within one year from the date of purchase for a free replacement. For customers from the e-commerce platforms in Europe, this warranty is extended to two years from the date of purchase. These standard warranties are assurance type warranties and do not offer any services in addition to the assurance that the product will continue working as specified. Therefore, warranties are not considered separate performance obligations in the arrangement. Instead, the expected cost of warranties is accrued as an expense. The Company estimated the product replacement costs based upon the historical replacement rate and shipping cost per unit. The estimated product replacement costs are recorded as warranty liabilities and warranty expenses.

 

The following table presents the movement of product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

16. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company uses the “management approach” to determine its reportable operating segments. This approach is based on the internal organization and reporting utilized by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) for making operational decisions and assessing performance. The Company’s CEO, who serves as the CODM, reviews operational results by revenue from different locations. The Company’s CODM uses segment revenue to assess segment performance and allocate resources. The Company has separate e-commerce platform accounts in North America and Europe, which are classified as two primary operating segments. Since the Company’s business model is selling products through online stores on e-commerce platforms, store revenue is used to measure the performance of each online store. As resource consumption is proportional to sales volume, revenue is also used to guide resource allocation.

 

Based on the CEO’s assessment, AMC has identified two primary operating segments: (1) North America and (2) Europe. Given that the two VIEs, Xiaoyun and Yishijue, are headquartered and operate in China, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are bifurcated into three segments: (1) North America, (2) Europe, and (3) China.

 

The following table presents revenues and expenses by segment for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Cost of revenues and operating expenses are allocated based upon the percentages of revenue in each segment. Interest expense and interest income are allocated based upon loan proceeds used in each segment. The Company’s other segment expenses primarily include Amazon storage fees, employee medical insurance expenses, software subscription fees, and business license and permit expenses. These expenses are not significant and thus not separately disclosed.

The Company’s income tax expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows. The two VIEs have no income taxes during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Income Tax

 

AMC Corporation was incorporated in the State of Washington in the United States. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $2,427 in state income tax compared to $3,433 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and no federal income tax for either period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $8,501 in state income tax compared to $7,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and no federal income tax for either period.

 

The two VIEs, Xiaoyun and Yishijue, were incorporated in People’s Republic of China (PRC). Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), the PRC Subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax at a statutory rate of 25%. Neither VIE incurred any income tax during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024, due to their losses from operations.

 

The tax jurisdictions of AMC Corporation and its two VIEs are located outside of Europe and Canada. Therefore, they are not subject to income tax in these regions.

 

Deferred Tax

 

The Company and the two VIEs had $nil net deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

 

Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, are as follows. The two VIEs have no deferred tax assets.

(1) IRC Section 174 Research and Development (R&D) Expense Capitalization: The Company is subject to U.S. research expense capitalization under IRC Section 174 under the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The IRC Section 174 research expense capitalization results in a timing difference which is amortizable over five years for domestic R&D expenditures and 15 years for foreign R&D expenditures.

 

 

 

The Company has uncertain tax positions due to establishment of nexus through inventories located in various states under the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) agreement. Amazon holds the Company’s inventories in various states until the items are sold and shipped to end customers. The Company has access to inventory reports (state-by-state) to know inventories locations in a real time. These inventories or “stock of goods” create nexus for which states may impose an income tax. If these uncertain tax positions are recognized, they would affect the Company’s effective tax rates. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company did not record these uncertain state income tax position for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

The following table presents the aggregate changes in the balance of the gross unrecognized tax provisions.

 

    Nine months ended  
    September 30,

    (Unaudited)     (Unaudited)  
Beginning balances   $ 6,627     $ 6,627  
Increases related to current tax positions     -       -  
Ending balances   $ 6,627     $ 6,627  

 

The Company adopted the accounting policy that interest and penalties are classified as part of its income taxes. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax provisions. There are currently no examinations by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company believes that, as of September 30, 2025 the gross unrecognized tax positions will not materially change in the next twelve months. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to any tax audits and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. However, there can be no assurances as to the possible outcomes.

 

Statute of limitation

 

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitation is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitation is extended to five years under special circumstances where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 0.1 million (approximately $13,500 USD). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is 10 years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. The income tax returns of the VIEs in China for the years from 2021 to 2025 are open to examination by the PRC tax authorities.

 

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 855 “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2025 up until the date that the Company issued these financial statements.

 

Amendments to the PIPE Agreements

 

On December 7, 2025, the PIPE Agreements were amended and entered into with Kami Vision Inc and three other investors (collectively, the “Investors”), replacing the prior group of six investors. Pursuant to the amended agreements, the Investors maintained their aggregate $8 million investment commitment. In return, they will receive 800,000 ordinary shares of the SPAC at $10.00 per share and an increased number of warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,240,000 ordinary shares of the SPAC (collectively, the “Subscribed Securities”).

 

Closing of the Business Combination

 

On December 9, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Surviving PubCo issued an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of Surviving PubCo’s common stock, valued at $10 per share, to the shareholders of the Company in exchange for their equity interests. Upon the close of the Business Combination, the total amounts outstanding under the three Promissory Notes were eliminated against the SPAC’s promissory note payable balance.

Introduction

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as of September 30, 2025 and the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of AMC and SPAC, gives effect to the Business Combination, the PIPE Financing, and related transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it was completed on September 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 gives effect to the Business Combination, the PIPE Financing, and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2025, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 gives effect to the Business Combination, the PIPE Financing, and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

This information should be read together with AMC’s and SPAC’s audited financial statements and related notes, “AMC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “SPAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 has been prepared using the following:

 

  AMC’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, as included elsewhere in this Form 8-K
     
  SPAC’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025

 

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared using the following:

 

  AMC’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as included elsewhere in this Form 8-K, and
     
  SPAC’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025
     
  AMC’s audited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, as included elsewhere in this Form 8-K, and
     
  SPAC’s audited statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the post-combination company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined.

 

Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

 

 

 

Description of the Transactions

 

On August 16, 2024, SPAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement with AMC and Merger Sub.

 

As of the Closing Date of the Business Combination, SPAC’s Units separated into their component securities and the SPAC’s Ordinary Shares and Rights converted into shares of Surviving PubCo Common Stock. Each SPAC Right that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger converted into one-tenth of one share of Surviving PubCo Common Stock. As a result, the SPAC Units, SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Rights no longer trade.

 

On the Closing Date, Surviving PubCo issued an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of Surviving PubCo Common Stock to the former shareholders of AMC in exchange for their equity interests in the Company.

 

The actual redemptions of SPAC Ordinary Shares as of the Closing Date are as follows:

 

  an aggregate of 2,174,171 SPAC Ordinary Shares were redeemed in connection with the 2023 Extraordinary General Meeting
     
  an aggregate of 3,151,473 SPAC Ordinary Shares were redeemed in connection with the 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting.
     
  an aggregate of 848,354 SPAC Ordinary Shares were redeemed in connection with the 2025 Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

Accounting for the Transactions

 

The Transactions are accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SPAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on AMC shareholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, AMC comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, AMC comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and AMC’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company.

 

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Transactions will be treated as the equivalent of AMC issuing shares for the net assets of SPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SPAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions will be those of AMC.

 

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Transactions, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Transaction.

 

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 are based on the actual values as of the Closing Date. The differences that may occur between the presented value and the final purchase accounting could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

 

 

AMC issued three promissory notes to the SPAC, allowing the SPAC to borrow up to $1,411,000 to fund expenses related to the extension of the Business Combination period. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, all promissory note receivable balances recorded by AMC will be eliminated against the corresponding promissory note payable balances of the SPAC.

 

The pro forma combined financial information takes into account the actual redemptions of SPAC Ordinary Shares that occurred as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination.

B. Derived from the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of AMC as of September 30, 2025.

 

 

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments

 

The pro forma adjustment to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet consists of the following:

 

a. Represents the transfer of cash and investment held in trust account to cash

 

b. Reflects the SPAC’s unrecorded transaction expenses of $1,874,226 related to the Business Combination, of which $1,842,456 was paid before and on the Closing Date and $31,770 remained unpaid as of the Closing Date and was therefore added to accrued expenses. In addition, the adjustments include the elimination of AMC’s recorded and unrecorded deferred offering costs of $540,204 and $425,000, respectively.

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, AMC is accounting acquirer, and as a result, qualifying transaction costs incurred by AMC are treated as deferred offering costs and any balance below the net proceeds from this reverse recapitalization will be charged directly to equity. This recording complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of legal and other professional expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Proposed Business Combination and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Proposed Business Combination with any balance below the net proceeds from this Business Combination. Should the Proposed Business Combination prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operation expenses.

 

Therefore, the transaction costs of $965,204 incurred by AMC are recognized as deferred offering costs. These costs are deducted against additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Business Combination. In contrast, the unrecorded transaction costs of $1,874,226 incurred by SPAC are adjusted to the expenses on the statements of operations and accumulated deficit on the balance sheet, then reclassified from accumulated deficit to additional paid-in capital, as all of SPAC’s accumulated deficit will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Business Combination.

 

c. Represents the SPAC’s prepayment to an investment firm (“Harraden”) to purchase shares (“Recycled Shares”) from SPAC’s public shareholders. In accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement (“FPA”) entered into on September 24, 2025, Harraden will return 90% of the purchased Recycled Shares one year later, either in the form of shares or cash, depending on whether Harraden has sold the Recycled Shares in the market. In October, 2025, Harraden purchased 550,000 Recycled Shares at a price of $12.09 per share. As such, 90% of the total value of the purchased Recycled Shares is recognized as a prepayment totaling $5,984,550.

 

The remaining 10% of the Recycled Shares represent Committed Shares and will be retained by Harraden as compensation. Of the total $6,681,818 cash payment, $4,817 relates to legal fees and $27,500 relates to commission expenses, both of which were reimbursed by the SPAC to Harraden. The value of the Committed Shares, together with these reimbursed transaction costs, is recognized as financing expenses totaling $697,268, which first adjusted to accumulated deficits and reclassed to additional paid-in capital.

 

d. Reflects payments for the SPAC’s payables and accrued expenses before and on the Closing Date. As a result of negotiations prior to the Closing, the accrued underwriting expense was reduced by $100,000 and accrued liabilities were reduced by $3,000. Accordingly, the SPAC’s accumulated deficit was reduced by $103,000.

 

e. Represents the actual redemptions of 848,354 SPAC Ordinary Shares for cash by SPAC shareholders. The adjustment reduced investments held in the trust account by $10,297,309. The remaining 726,002 SPAC Ordinary Shares that were not redeemed were converted into Surviving PubCo Common Stock on the Closing Date, with an aggregate value of $8,632,380.

 

f. Reflects the issuance of Surviving PubCo Common Stock at the Closing to settle the promissory notes held by SPAC’s Sponsor and its affiliate. The SPAC has issued two unsecured promissory notes to related parties, each of which includes a conversion feature allowing the unpaid principal balance to be converted into SPAC Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $10.00 per share (“Conversion Price”). These two promissory notes are both payable promptly following the consummation of the Business Combination. The Sponsor and its affiliate have agreed to convert the unpaid principal balances of their respective notes into SPAC Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price. Accordingly, the unpaid balances of all the promissory notes held by the Sponsor and its affiliate are converted into 55,833 Surviving PubCo Common Stock.

 

The SPAC also issued three unsecured promissory notes to AMC totaling $1,272,419, which is eliminated in the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as intercompany transactions.

 

g. Reflects the issuance of 800,000 Surviving PubCo Common Stock and 2,240,000 warrant shares to nine investors, pursuant to the amended private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing agreements, for total consideration of $8 million upon the closing of the Business Combination. Of the $8 million proceeds, $4 million had been received in advance by AMC and recorded as a liability in “PIPE financing funds received in advance,” which was eliminated on the Closing Date upon the issuance of the subscribed Surviving PubCo Common Stock.

 

h. Represents the settlement of the $70,000 fairness opinion fee that AMC paid on behalf of SPAC. Since AMC recorded other receivable and SPAC recorded other payable for the amount of $70,000, this balance was eliminated upon completion of the Business Combination.

 

i. Reflects the recapitalization of AMC through the issuance of Surviving PubCo Common Stock, including shares issued upon the conversion of SPAC Rights and shares issued to AMC for the Merger Consideration. The recapitalization also includes the elimination of SPAC’s historical accumulated deficit and AMC’s common stock. The recapitalization results in adjustments to additional paid-in capital and common stock.

 

Specifically, the recapitalization includes:

 

  Elimination of SPAC’s historical accumulated deficit of $5,239,137
  Elimination of adjustments to accumulated deficit for SPAC’s unrecorded transaction costs of $1,874,226, FPA financing expense of $697,268, and the reversal of accrued expenses of $103,000, which in total amounted to $2,468,495.
  Elimination of AMC common stock valued at $82,286 with a par value of $0.01
  Conversion of 18,000,000 Surviving PubCo Common Stock issued for the Merger Consideration of $180,000,000, par value of $0.0001 per share
  Issuance of 690,000 and 43,049 SPAC Shares to SPAC’s public shareholders and initial shareholders (SPAC’s sponsor and underwriter), respectively, upon the conversion of their SPAC Rights on the Closing Date

Represents unrecorded financing expenses of $697,268 related to the Forward Purchase Agreement, under which SPAC prepaid Harraden to purchase shares (“Recycled Shares”) from SPAC’s public shareholders and to return 90% of the Recycled Shares to the Surviving PubCo one year later either in the form of shares or cash.

 

c. Represents an adjustment to eliminate interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, net of unrealized losses on investments held in the Trust Account.

 

d. The calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the initial public offering occurred as of the earliest period presented — January 1, 2025 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and January 1, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, as the Transactions are being reflected as if it had occurred on this date, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares have been outstanding for the entire period presented. This calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate the number of shares redeemed in the Transactions for the entire period and include 800,000 shares issued for the $8 million Financing in connection with the Business Combination.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share was calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2025 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and since January 1, 2024 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share assumes the shares issuable in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 has been prepared to reflect the actual redemptions by SPAC public shareholders at the time of the Business Combination.

AMC’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with AMC’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. In addition to historical information, the following discussion also contains forward-looking statements that include numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors.” Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Please refer to “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for more information on such statements.

 

Throughout this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us”, “our” and other similar terms refer to AMC.

 

Overview

 

AMC distributes security cameras through e-commerce platforms across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Its product portfolio includes cameras designed for residential homes and small businesses, such as the YI dome guard, home camera, and outdoor camera.

 

The online stores on these e-commerce platforms in the aforementioned regions are owned by Ants, Xiaoyun, and Yishijue. Pursuant to the Authorization Agreements, these entities have authorized AMC to utilize their e-commerce platform accounts free of charge until October 20, 2026. The Authorization Agreements with Xiaoyun and Yishijue will continue until the existing inventory of AMC’s products has been sold, at which time the agreements will be terminated.

 

Xiaoyun and Yishijue are variable interest entities (VIEs) where AMC, through contractual arrangements, holds effective control over their primary economic activities, assumes the associated risks and benefits from the economic rewards, making AMC the primary beneficiary.

 

Business Combination

 

AMC entered into the Business Combination Agreement with SPAC on August 16, 2024. In June 2025, the Company amended the Business Combination Agreement to increase the enterprise value from $175,000,000 to $180,000,000 and extended the termination date from June 30, 2025 to December 31, 2025. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC will become a Delaware corporation, the shareholders of AMC will become shareholders of SPAC, and AMC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC.

 

On December 9, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Surviving PubCo issued an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of Surviving PubCo’s common stock, valued at $10 per share, to the former shareholders of the Company in exchange for their equity interests.

 

Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) Financing

 

On September 7, 2025, the Company and the SPAC entered into private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing agreements, which were subsequently amended on December 7, 2025. Pursuant to the amended agreements, four investors agreed to invest an aggregate amount of $8 million in exchange for 800,000 ordinary shares of the SPAC at $10.00 per share and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,240,000 ordinary shares of the SPAC (collectively, the “Subscribed Securities”). The exercise price of the warrants is $10.00 per share. The Subscribed Securities will be exchanged for ordinary shares of the surviving public company (“Surviving PubCo”) upon the closing of the Business Combination Agreement (“BCA Transaction”).

 

 


 

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

The security camera market is highly competitive, driven by advancements in technology and increasing demand for home and business security. Key factors that affect our results of operations include:

 

  Product Features: The competitive market that we operate in requires that we upgrade our products with improved features each year to maintain a competitive edge. Any delays in new product launches may result in reduced sales volume and lower product prices.
     
  Product Price: Consumers are often price-conscious, looking for affordable yet reliable solutions. We must compete by offering budget-friendly products or higher-end cameras with advanced features.

 

  Advertising on E-commerce platform: We allocate a significant portion of our advertising budget to promote our products on the e-commerce platform for higher rankings. These advertising costs account for approximately 14% and 19% of product revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and approximately 28% and 25% of product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These advertising costs are recorded as part of sales and marketing expenses.

 

To date, recent inflationary pressures have not had a material impact on AMC’s business and operations. However, such pressures could increase over time.

 

The recent changes in tariffs enacted by the United States government had an immaterial impact on the Company. In April 2025, an additional tariff of 125% was imposed. However, on May 12, China and the United States reached a truce agreement, reducing the additional tariff to 30%. Subsequently, on August 11, 2025, all additional tariffs were suspended, and tariff rates returned to their original level of approximately 10%, where they have remained through the date of this report.

 

There is also significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government regulations and tariffs. To mitigate the impact of volatile maritime freight rates and other cost fluctuations driven by changes in international trade policies, AMC has initiated the relocation of its inventory from the Amazon warehouses. As part of this initiative, AMC is collaborating with local third-party warehouse partners in the U.S. to pursue more cost-effective and operationally efficient solutions.

 

If AMC is unable to implement effective strategies to mitigate the effects of rising inflationary pressures, negative trade relations and/or tariffs, its business and operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

 

The following tables set forth summaries of our consolidated results of operations and variances for the periods presented, both in absolute amounts and as a percentage of our total operating revenue for the periods presented. This information should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this filling. The results of operations in any period are not necessarily indicative of our future trends.

Product revenue - related party     212,992       -       212,992       N/A  
Revenue share – related party     999,253       743,289       255,964       34 %
Total revenues   $ 1,498,030     $ 3,159,027     $ (1,660,997 )     (53 )%

 

AMC has three revenue streams: (1) product sales through e-commerce platforms, (2) revenue share from its related party, Kami, for cloud services such as video storage, image analysis, and providing alerts and intelligence detection and (3) product sales to a related party ZKCam Technology Limited (hereinafter referred to as “ZKCam”).

 

AMC recognizes its revenue share when Kami receives subscription payments from users acquired through AMC’s camera sales. The revenue-share schedule is as follows:



Annual subscription periods   Percentage basis
   

Inception through

June 30, 2025

 

From

July 1, 2025 Onwards

First year during which an end user starts the cloud service subscription from Kami   30%   30%
Second year during which an end user continues the cloud service   15% for recurring subscriptions   30% for recurring subscriptions
Third year and thereafter during which an end user continues the service subscription from Kami   0%   30%

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, AMC’s product revenue from non-related parties was $285,785 and $2,415,738, respectively. Revenue share from Kami amounted to $999,253 and $743,289 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Product revenue from a related party, ZKCam, amounted to $212,992 and $nil for the same periods. Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1,498,030, representing a decrease of $1,660,997 compared to $3,159,027 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The decline was driven by a $2,129,953 decrease in product revenue, primarily attributable to the transfer of approximately 85% of inventories from Amazon FBA warehouses to third-party warehouses, which resulted in a sharp decline in Amazon platform traffic. The reduction in sales volume was also impacted by delays in launching upgraded products and increased competition in the security camera market.

 

Specifically:

 

  AMC’s current products feature enhanced cloud capabilities but lack competitive advantages in camera hardware. Additionally, our pricing strategy does not align with market competitiveness, further limiting our appeal.

 

  The delays in product launches, which reduced AMC’s competitiveness and contributed to lower sales volume, were primarily due to prolonged prototype testing, delays in obtaining certifications for overseas markets, and the additional time required for thorough software testing. The upgraded products are expected to include an enhancement in camera resolution from 1080P to 2K.

 

The revenue decline was partially offset by (1) higher revenue share from Kami under the amended agreement effective July 1, 2025, and (2) product sales to ZKCam to clear aged inventories. Under the amended agreement, Kami allocates 30% of subscription revenues to AMC for the first three years of new customer subscriptions. The Company does not expect additional sales to ZKCam once the aged inventories are sold.

Total cost of revenues   $ 444,929     $ 3,182,864     $ (2,737,935 )     (86 )%

 

AMC’s cost of revenues includes e-commerce platform expenses, product costs, delivery and freight costs, and inventory impairment loss. Our cost of revenues totaled $444,929 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,182,864 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The decrease in cost of revenues by approximately $2.7 million was primarily driven by a $2,120,103 reduction in product costs and a $580,247 decrease in e-commerce platform expenses both due to lower sales volume. Additional contributing factor included a $67,514 drop in delivery and freight costs resulting from reduced inventory purchases.

We had a gross profit of $1,053,102 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a gross loss of $23,837 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by an $820,974 increase in product gross profit, resulting from reduced product costs and new sales to ZKCam during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in gross profit was also attributable to the higher revenue-share percentages from Kami beginning July 1, 2025.

Operating expenses decreased to $369,761 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,107,058 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses is due to the following reasons:

 

  Sales and marketing expenses

 

The decrease of $443,471 in sales and marketing expenses was driven by reduced e-commerce platform advertising and promotional activities after approximately 85% of inventories were transferred out of Amazon FBA warehouses during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024. In addition, delays in launching upgraded products further contributed to the decline in sales and marketing expenses, as AMC typically increases advertising efforts when new products are introduced to the market.

 

  Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses decreased by $33,158 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to reduced labor costs and delays in the development of upgraded products. These delays in product launch were driven by prolonged prototype testing, delays in obtaining certifications for overseas sales, and additional time required for comprehensive software testing. As there were no new products launched in 2025, research and development expenses were $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

 

  General and administrative expenses

 

We experienced a decrease of $333,138 in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $272,879 reduction in professional fees for accounting, tax consulting, and audit services for the Business Combination, a $38,413 decrease in payroll expenses resulting from the resignation of one employee, a $26,963 decrease in related-party consulting fees, and a $25,605 decrease in storage fees resulting from the transfer of approximately 85% of inventories out of Amazon FBA warehouses during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

 

The table below presents the fluctuations in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Other income – related party consists of subsidy income from Kami to support AMC’s marketing campaigns via the e-commerce platforms. We recorded other income – related party of $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $392,578 for the same period in 2024. The $392,578 decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in subsidy income from Kami, as the revenue-share percentages from Kami increased beginning July 1, 2025.

 

Other income, net of other expenses, decreased from $35,653 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $24,230 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to decreased foreign exchange gain.

 

We recorded an interest income of 53 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $200 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from bank interest.

 

We recorded interest expense of $33 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $nil for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

We earned a net income in the amount of $705,229 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with a net loss of 705,897 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in net income of $1,411,126 was primarily attributable to the Company turning a gross loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024, into a gross profit for the same period in 2025, combined with lower operating expenses resulting from decreased sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, AMC’s product revenue from non-related parties was $2,256,901 and $5,903,804, respectively. The revenue share from Kami amounted to $2,071,148 and $2,106,668 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Product revenue from related parties, ZKCam and Kami, amounted to $359,781 and $nil for the same periods. The total revenue reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $4,687,830, decreased by $3,322,642 from $8,010,472 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The decline was driven by a $3,646,903 decrease in product revenue, primarily attributable to the transfer of approximately 85% of inventories from Amazon FBA warehouses to third-party warehouses, which resulted in a sharp decline in Amazon platform traffic. The reduction in sales volume was also impacted by delays in launching upgraded products and increased competition in the security camera market.

 

Specifically:

 

  AMC’s current products feature enhanced cloud capabilities but lack competitive advantages in camera hardware. Additionally, our pricing strategy does not align with market competitiveness, further limiting our appeal.

The revenue decline was partially offset by product sales to ZKCam to clear aged inventories. The Company does not expect additional sales to ZKCam once the aged inventories are sold.

AMC’s cost of revenues includes e-commerce platform expenses, product costs, delivery and freight costs, and inventory impairment loss. Our cost of revenues totaled $2,879,816 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7,501,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

The decrease in cost of revenues by approximately $4.6 million was primarily driven by a $2,747,487 reduction in product costs and a $943,297 decrease in e-commerce platform expenses. Both reductions were attributable to significantly lower sales volume on Amazon, resulting from the absence of new product launches in 2025 and the transfer of approximately 85% of inventories from Amazon FBA warehouses to third-party warehouses, which resulted in a sharp decline in Amazon platform traffic. Additional contributing factors included an $808,471 reduction in inventory impairment losses, as the significant price discounts that led to inventory impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were not repeated for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as well as a $121,995 decrease in delivery and freight costs due to reduced inventory purchases.

The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by a $1,334,128 decrease in product gross loss, resulting from reduced product costs and new sales to ZKCam during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Total operating expenses   $ 2,607,461     $ 3,544,017     $ (936,556 )     (26 )%

 

Operating expenses decreased to $2,607,461 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $3,544,017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses is due to the following reasons:

 

  Provision for credit losses – related party

 

Provision for credit losses – related party decreased by $279,712 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared with the same period in 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $279,712 against receivables due from Ants. The receivable was fully repaid in April 2025, resulting in no provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

 

 

  Sales and marketing expenses

 

The decrease of $876,112 in sales and marketing expenses was driven by less e-commerce platform advertising and promotional activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. AMC typically incurs advertising expenses when upgraded products are introduced to the market. However, due to a delay in launching upgraded products, advertising and promotional activities decreased.

 

  Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses decreased by $172,466 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to reduced labor costs and delays in the development process for upgraded products. The delays in product launches stem from prolonged prototype testing, delays in obtaining certifications for overseas sales, and the additional time required for thorough software testing.

 

  General and administrative expenses

 

The decrease in operating expenses was partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses of $391,735 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to a $407,002 increase in professional fees for accounting, tax consulting, and audit services resulting from the Business Combination, a $63,565 increase in travel expenses, and a $37,403 increase in insurance expenses, partially offset by an $87,967 decrease in storage fees due to the transfer of approximately 85% of inventories out of Amazon FBA warehouses and a $60,097 decrease in related-party consulting fees with Ants and Kami.

Other income – related party consists of subsidy income from Kami to support AMC’s marketing campaigns via the e-commerce platforms. We recorded other income – related party of $1,217,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1,021,815 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher subsidy income from Kami, provided to incentivize AMC to increase sales volume and boost subscriptions to Kami’s cloud service.

 

Other income, net of other expenses, decreased from $35,382 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $13,552 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to decreased foreign exchange gain.

 

We recorded an interest income of $501 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $201 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from bank interest.

 

We recorded interest expense – related party of $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $18,999 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The interest expense – related party was related to the revolving loan agreement with Ants. The decrease in interest expense is due to the revolving loan paid off during the second quarter of 2024.

 

We recorded interest expense of $24,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $nil for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The interest expense was related to a loan of RMB 6 million from the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Bank (HSBC) with a six-month term and an interest rate of 8%. In April, 2025, Xiaoyun repaid the RMB 6 million loan in full to HSBC, including accrued interest, using payments received from AMC.

We earned a net income in the amount of $399,140 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with a net loss of $2,003,706 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increased net income of $2,402,846 was primarily due to increased gross profit, a decline in sales and marketing expense, increased subsidy income from Kami, and $nil provision for credit losses.

Operating activities used $4,943,423 in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared with $1,847,727 provided in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our operating cash outflow of $4,943,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily attributable to (1) a decrease in inventory of $2,252,487, resulting from reduced purchases as existing inventory was sufficient given the decline in sales, (2) a decrease in other receivables – related party of $1,697,751, as Ants fully repaid its balance in April 2025, and (3) a net income of $399,140. These impacts were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable – related party of $8,543,243 resulting from repayments to the related party supplier, Senslab. In comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the operating cash inflow of $1,847,727 was primarily due to (1) an increase in accounts payable - related party of $2,170,392, resulting from the extension of payment terms with the supplier Senslab from 60 days to 180 days, (2) a decrease in other receivable – related party of $544,195, (3) a decrease in inventories of $603,947, and (4) a decrease in due from shareholder of $366,609. These impacts were partially offset by a net loss of $2,003,706, an increase in accounts receivable of $56,499 and an increase in other receivable of $70,000.

 

Investing activities used $578,108 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $488,203 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The investing cash outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due to the issuance of promissory note receivable totaling $593,970, offset by the repayment of note receivable – shareholder for $15,862. The investing cash outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to the issuance of shareholder loans totaling $532,203, the repayment of note receivable – shareholder for $500,000, and issuance of promissory note receivable totaling $456,000.

 

Financing activities provided $8,178,018 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $887,462 used for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The financing cash inflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due to repayment of short-term loan for $821,982 offset by capital contribution from Kami for $9,000,000. Financing cash outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulted from a capital contribution of $80,000 from the shareholder and proceeds of $1,353,700 from related-party loans, offset by repayments of $2,171,162 on these loans and deferred offering costs of $150,000.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, related party transactions had the following impact on income/(loss) before income tax, as shown in the table below. Positive balances indicate an increase in pre-tax income (loss), while negative balances indicate a decrease.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Lease

 

The Company leased an office in New York City under a non-cancellable 39-month lease agreement that expires in 2027. For additional information, see Note 13, Lease, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025.

 

Finder Fees

 

On June 28, 2024, the Company engaged Revere Securities, LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Revere”) to act as (1) its merger and acquisition advisor (M&A Advisor) in connection with the Business Combination and (2) its financial advisor (Financing Advisor) on any private investment in the Company consisting of equity, debt, and/or equity-linked securities (hereinafter referred to as “Series Financing”).

Pursuant to the FPA, the SPAC prepaid Harraden to purchase shares (the “Recycled Shares”) from the SPAC’s public shareholders. Harraden is required to return 90% of the purchased Recycled Shares one year later, either in the form of shares or cash, depending on whether the Recycled Shares have been sold in the market. In return, Harraden will retain the remaining 10% of the purchased Recycled Shares as compensation.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

 


 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, valuation of inventory, and estimated replacement rates to calculate warranty liabilities and warranty expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other reasonable assumptions, which serve as the foundation for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

Our significant accounting policies and estimates are set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

For a discussion of our new or recently adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Recent issued accounting pronouncements, to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and reviews of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified four material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weaknesses that have been identified for AMC are as follows:

 

  (1) Lack of Experienced Accounting Team — AMC lacks qualified in-house accounting staff and resources with adequate knowledge of U.S. GAAP. A third-party consulting firm has been engaged to prepare financial statements and footnote disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
     
  (2) Lack of Duty Segregations — The Company separates the duties at certain areas, but there is only one person responsible for various functions of the Company, including processing payments and Human Resource functions. All other individuals involved in these processes are engaged through independent contractor roles.
     
  (3) Lack of sufficient inventory management process and control system — AMC does not have a sufficient inventory management process or control system.
     
  (4) Lack of proper approval for related party transactions — AMC lacks a formal approval process for related party transactions.

 

To remediate our material weaknesses, we have begun and will continue to: (1) hire additional qualified accounting staff with appropriate knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements, while strengthening period-end financial reporting controls and procedures; (2) establish an ongoing program to provide adequate training for financial reporting and accounting personnel, particularly on U.S. GAAP and SEC requirements; (3) assign clear roles and responsibilities to accounting staff and the management team to establish segregation of duties and improve inventory processes; and (4) implement a thorough review and approval process for related party transactions.

 

However, we cannot assure that we will remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner, or at all. See “Risk Factors”. If we fail to implement and maintain effective internal controls to remediate the material weaknesses over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the price of our securities may be materially adversely affected.
