• Highly Dilutive Unit Offering Finalized

  The company will offer up to 5,555,555 units, each comprising one Class A Ordinary Share (or a pre-funded warrant) and one warrant, at an assumed price of $2.16 per unit. This finalizes the terms of an offering initiated on May 7, 2026.

• Extreme Potential Dilution from Warrants

  Warrants include a 'zero exercise price option' that could lead to the issuance of up to 49,999,995 additional Class A Ordinary Shares if the stock price falls to the 'Floor Price' of $0.432. This represents a potential dilution of over 1400% to current shareholders.

• Nasdaq Delisting Risk Cited

  The filing explicitly warns that Nasdaq may delist the company's Class A Ordinary Shares due to 'public interest concerns resulting from the dilutive impact and terms of the Warrants in this offering.'

• Capital Raise for Working Capital

  The offering is expected to generate approximately $10.9 million in net proceeds, which will be used for general working capital and corporate purposes. This is a significant amount relative to the company's current market capitalization.

This F-1 amendment finalizes the terms of a unit offering previously disclosed on May 7, 2026. The company plans to raise an estimated $10.9 million through the sale of up to 5,555,555 units, each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share (or a pre-funded warrant) and one warrant. The offering is priced at $2.16 per unit, a premium to the current stock price of $1.485. However, the warrants include a 'zero exercise price option' feature, which could lead to the issuance of up to 49,999,995 additional Class A Ordinary Shares if the stock price drops to a 'Floor Price' of $0.432. This represents a potential dilution of over 1400% to existing shareholders (55,555,550 new shares vs. 3,854,738 current Class A equivalent shares). The company explicitly states that Nasdaq may delist its shares due to 'public interest concerns resulting from the dilutive impact and terms of the Warrants in this offering.' This capital raise is critical for a company facing increasing net losses ($5.8 million in 2025) and declining revenue ($11.4 million in 2025).
