check_boxKey Events

• Proposal for Class B Share Conversion Ratio Increase

  Shareholders will vote on increasing the conversion ratio of Class B shares to Class A shares from 1:20 to 1:1. This change would be effected through the adoption of an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

• Potential Significant Dilution for Class A Shareholders

  The proposed Class B Variation could lead to a substantial increase in Class A shares if the CEO's Class B holdings are converted, potentially adding approximately 8.6 million Class A shares, which is over 150% of current Class A shares outstanding.

• Direct Benefit to CEO

  The CEO, Silong Chen, is the sole holder of all Class B shares, meaning this proposal directly and significantly benefits his economic interest in the company at the expense of other Class A shareholders.

• Auditor Change Ratification

  The company is seeking shareholder ratification for the appointment of Assentsure PAC as its independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2026, following Audit Alliance LLP for fiscal year 2025.

Dogness (International) Corporation is seeking shareholder approval for a significant change to its capital structure, specifically a 'Class B Variation.' This proposal would increase the conversion ratio of Class B shares to Class A shares from one-twentieth (1/20) to one (1) Class A share. The sole holder of all 9,069,000 outstanding Class B shares is Fine Victory Holding Company Limited, which is wholly owned by CEO Silong Chen. If approved, this change would allow Mr. Chen to convert his Class B shares into 9,069,000 Class A shares, a substantial increase from the current potential of 453,450 Class A shares. This represents a potential increase of approximately 8.6 million Class A shares, which is over 150% of the current Class A shares outstanding. This change would result in significant dilution for existing Class A shareholders and materially increase the CEO's economic ownership and control. Additionally, the company is seeking ratification for a change in its independent registered public accounting firm, appointing Assentsure PAC for fiscal year 2026 after Audit Alliance LLP served for fiscal year 2025.
