Analysis · BYAH · Industrial Applications And Services
Park Ha Biological Technology Co., Ltd., a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of approximately $3.67 million, has filed a universal shelf registration statement (Form F-3) to offer and sell up to $300 million in various securities, including Class A Ordinary Shares, debt, warrants, rights, and units.
