This 6-K filing announces Scage Future's decision to utilize the home country rule exemption under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615, specifically opting out of Rule 5635(d). This means the company will no longer require shareholder approval for certain equity issuances, such as those exceeding 20% of outstanding shares in private placements or acquisitions, or for equity compensation plans, as long as it complies with Cayman Islands law. This move grants management greater flexibility in capital raising and M&A activities but significantly reduces shareholder oversight and protection against potential dilution. Investors should monitor future equity transactions closely, as they may occur without a shareholder vote.
