Analysis · NTCL · Technology
Dr. Jianbiao Dai, CEO and Chairman, used his wholly-owned entity Dragonsoft Holding Limited to purchase 100,000 Class B Ordinary Shares at $2.69 per share — the July 31 closing price — for a total of $269,000. The transaction closed August 5, 2026. Post-purchase, Dragonsoft holds 100% of the outstanding Class B shares, which carry super-voting rights and now represent 77.93% of total voting power across both Class A and Class B shares. This is a direct cash purchase by the CEO's vehicle, not an option exercise or grant, signaling strong personal conviction. The purchase comes just weeks after the company regained Nasdaq compliance following a 1-for-50 reverse split and amid a $6.0 million net loss and only $1.7 million in cash as of March 31, 2026. The CEO is effectively doubling down on his control and economic stake at a time when the company is burning cash and issuing shares to service providers.
