The Company urges you to vote before May 19, 2025 to ensure that your vote is timely received and counted.
Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A: The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of votes cast by our ordinary shareholders that are present in person or by proxy at our Extraordinary General Meeting is required to approve the Class A Preferred Shares Designation and Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal, provided we have quorum for the meeting.
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal whether or not a quorum is present, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of the votes cast by our shareholders entitled to vote.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will count for purposes of determining quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because abstentions and broker non-votes do not count as votes cast.
Q: How many votes do I and others have?
A: Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share of MKDWELL ordinary shares held as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 143,619,342 outstanding MKDWELL ordinary shares.
Q: How will our directors and executive officers vote on the Class A Preferred Shares Designation Proposal, Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal and Adjournment Proposal?
A: The Company expects that its directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the Class A Preferred Shares Designation Proposal, Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal and Adjournment proposal.
Q: What will happen if I fail to vote or I abstain from voting?
A: If you fail to vote, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining quorum or for purposes of the voting results. If you choose to appear for purposes of quorum but to abstain from voting, your shares will counted for purposes of determining whether we have quorum sufficient to hold the meeting but will not be counted for purposes of the voting results. For this reason, if we have quorum, a failure to vote and an abstention would both be disregarded at the meeting, but a failure to vote could result in the Extraordinary General Meeting not reaching quorum, while an abstention would help us achieve quorum.
Q: How many shares must be present to hold the Extraordinary General Meeting?
A: The presence in person or by proxy of 47,873,114 of the outstanding MKDWELL shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum (at least one-third (1/3) of the voting rights of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon) at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The inspector of election will determine whether a quorum is present. If you are a beneficial owner (as defined above) of the Company’s ordinary shares and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares on any of the proposals, your shares will not be counted as present at the Extraordinary General Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Votes of shareholders of record who are present at the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy will be counted as present at the Extraordinary General Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, whether or not such holder abstains from voting on all of the proposals.
Q: If I am a beneficial owner of MKDWELL ordinary shares, what happens if I don’t provide voting instructions? What is discretionary voting? What is a broker non-vote?
A: If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. Discretionary voting and broker non-votes, respectively, allow brokers to vote on routine matters or appear for purposes of establishing quorum; however, discretionary voting and broker non-votes are not available at this Extraordinary General Meeting. For this reason, we encourage all shareholders to appear in person or by proxy to ensure that quorum for the meeting exists so that the Proposals can be considered.
|
Q: What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?
A: If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the ordinary shares represented by your proxy will be voted in favor of each such proposal. Proxy cards that are returned without a signature will not be counted as present at the Extraordinary General Meeting and cannot be voted.
Q: Can I change my vote after I have returned a proxy or voting instruction card?
A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting. You can do this in one of four ways:
● you can grant a new, valid proxy bearing a later date;
● you can send a signed notice of revocation;
● if you are a holder of record, you can attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote online, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given, or you may revoke your proxy online, but your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given; or
● if your ordinary shares are held in an account with a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions on the voting instruction card you received in order to change or revoke your instructions.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
CLASS A PREFERRED SHARES DESIGNATION PROPOSAL
(ITEM 1 ON THE PROXY CARD)
Our Board of Directors believe that shareholders of the Company should approve an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Memorandum”) to designate the rights of the Class A Preferred Shares and in accordance with the designation to consider and vote upon the approval of a new clause 6.1A being inserted into the Memorandum, designating the rights of Class A Preferred Share.
The foregoing summary of the Memorandum does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by referenced to the full text of Annex A.
|
Reason for the Adoption of an amendment to the Memorandum
The Board of Directors deems that it is in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders to approve the
amendment to the Memorandum to enable the Company to execute long-term business strategies and obtain new equity financing while maintaining a stable corporate structure and senior management team. This amended share structure provides the holder of Class A Preferred Shares (who is expected to be controlled by the Company’s current management team) with the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval, which also provides the Company with more flexibility to employ various financing and transaction strategies involving the issuance of equity-linked securities, without the concerns over excessive dilution in the current management’s voting power, which may otherwise result in a change of control or the loss of key men’s leadership.
Description of Class A Preferred Shares
The Company will be authorized to issue an unlimited amount of Shares with US$0.0001 par value each divided into six classes of shares. Under clause 6.2 of the Memorandum, the board of directors has the right to designate the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares (as defined in the Memorandum under clause 8 of the Memorandum, the issuance of Preferred Shares shall not be considered to vary the terms of the Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Memorandum). However, in the interests of transparency and good corporate governance, the Company is seeking shareholder approval of the amendment to the Memorandum to designate the rights of the Class A Preferred Shares.
Pursuant to the amendment to the Memorandum, the Company will be authorized to issue an unlimited amount of Shares with US$0.0001 par value including Class A Preferred Shares $0.001 par value per share. The rights and limitations attaching to the Class A Preferred Shares will be as follows (among other things):
6.1A Each Class A Preferred Share confers upon the Member:
(7) the right to 100 votes at a meeting of the Members of the Company or on any Resolution of Members;
(8) the right to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company in accordance with the Act; and
(9) the right to an equal share in the distribution of surplus assets of the Company on its liquidation.
Procedure for Implementing the Amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association
The amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association , if approved by our shareholders, would become effective upon stamping by the BVI Registrar of Corporate Affairs, filed by the Company’s registered agent in the BVI.
Potential Effect of the Amendment the Memorandum
Upon issuance of 24,831,000 Class A Preferred Shares, holders of Class A Preferred Shares will in the aggregate hold approximately 17.29% of our total issued and outstanding shares and 95.29% of the aggregate voting power of our total issued and outstanding shares. Holders of our Class A Preferred Shares will have control of a simple majority of the votes cast on shareholder matters over the outcome of matters put to a vote of shareholders and have significant influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations, liquidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. The holders of our Class A Preferred Shares may vote their shares in a manner that is not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. It may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could have the effect of depriving our other shareholders of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the price of our Ordinary Shares. This concentrated control may have the effect of limiting your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that holders of Class A Preferred Shares may view as beneficial.
Future issuances of our Class A Preferred Shares, which can be approved by our Board of Directors, could have the effect of increasing the relative voting power of the holders of Class A Preferred Shares, discourage or make more difficult any efforts to obtain control of the Company. As a result, the relative voting power of holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares may remain limited for a significant period of time.
|
Consequences Associated with the Failure to Approve this Proposal
If the amendment to the Memorandum to designate Class A Preferred Shares is not approved by at least a affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of our ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Extraordinary General Meeting, the the Resolution will not be passed, and the M&A will not be amended.
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of our ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this Proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
This proposal will be considered approved if a affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote in favor of the proposal. You may vote “For,” “Against” or “Abstain” from voting on this proposal.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of this Proposal No. 1.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
MEMORANDUM NOTICE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
(ITEM 2 ON THE PROXY CARD)
Background of the Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal
Our Board of Directors approved and recommend that the shareholders of the Company approve an amendment to the Memorandum as set forth in Annex A, to consider approving certain administrative changes to the Memorandum to streamline the Company’s notice provisions, and in accordance with this change to consider and vote upon the approval of sub-regulation 21.1 of the Articles deleted and replaced with this following (the “Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal”):
“21.1 Any notice, information or written statement to be given by the Company to a Member must be in writing and may be given by personal service, registered mail, courier, email or fax to the address of the shareholder recorded in the register of shareholders or any other address or email address as notified by the Member to the Company for this purpose, or if the Company has a class of shares listed on a designated stock exchange, notice may be given as permitted by and in accordance with the applicable listing rules.”
Reasons for Requesting Shareholder Approval
The Board believes that the Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal if approved will enable the Company to improve shareholder corporate governance by reducing administrative burdens and costs on the Company.
Consequences Associated with the Failure to Approve this Proposal
If the Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal is not approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s shareholders, the Company will not amend the Memorandum to implement the Notice changes.
|
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Memorandum Notice Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of our ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this Proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
This proposal will be considered approved if a affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of in excess of fifty (50) percent of votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting vote in favor of the proposal. You may vote “For,” “Against” or “Abstain” from voting on this proposal.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of this Proposal No. 2.
PROPOSAL 3: THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
(ITEM 3 ON THE PROXY CARD)
The Adjournment Proposal allows our Board of Directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the consummation of the Acquisitions. In no event will the Company solicit proxies to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting or consummate the proposed transactions beyond the date by which it may properly do so under BVI law.
In addition to an adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting upon approval of an Adjournment Proposal, the board of directors of the Company is empowered to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, the Company will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its shareholders of the postponement.
Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

8.14 | At every meeting of Members, the Chairman of the Board or their nominee shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board or their nominee is not present at the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman. If the Members are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual Member or representative of a Member present shall take the chair. |
A- |
8.15 | The chairman may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. For the avoidance of doubt, a meeting can be adjourned for as many times as may be determined to be necessary by the chairman and a meeting may remain open indefinitely for as long a period as may be determined by the chairman. |
8.16 | At any meeting of the Members the chairman of the meeting is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. |
8.17 | Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company. |
8.18 | Any Member who is not a natural person may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual. |
8.19 | The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Member other than an individual may at the meeting but not thereafter call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 calendar days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Member shall be disregarded. |
8.20 | Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares. |
8.21 | An action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice. If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. |

11.4 | A director shall be given not less than 3 calendar days’ notice of meetings of directors, but a meeting of directors held without 3 calendar days’ notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting. |
A- |
11.5 | A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of directors, unless there are only 2 directors in which case the quorum is 2. |

Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes. |

The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more directors.

The directors may remove an agent appointed by the Company and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him. |

15.3 | The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved. |
15.4 | The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. |
15.5 | The Company may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, officer or liquidator of the Company, or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in the Articles. |
