EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.
Public Offering Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the public offering of 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares of the Registrant (the “Public Offering Prospectus”) through the underwriter named on the cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus.
Resale Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the resale by the selling shareholders (“Selling Shareholders”) set forth therein of 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Registrant (the “Resale Prospectus”).
The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:
they contain different outside and inside front covers and back covers;
they contain different offering sections in the Prospectus Summary section beginning on page Alt-1;
they contain different Use of Proceeds sections on page Alt-2;
a Selling Shareholder section is included in the Resale Prospectus;
a Selling Shareholder Plan of Distribution is inserted; and
the Legal Matters section in the Resale Prospectus on page Alt-6
The Registrant has included in this Registration Statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus (the “Alternate Pages”) to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for the public offering by the Registrant. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages and will be used for the resale offering by the Selling Shareholder.
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
| PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED _________, 2024 |
|---|
This is the initial public offering on a firm commitment basis of the ordinary shares (“IPO”), par value US$0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares” or “Shares”), of Masonglory Limited (“Masonglory”), an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, whose subsidiaries are established in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. We are offering 1,500,000 Ordinary Shares of Masonglory, representing 11% of the Ordinary Shares following completion of the offering of Masonglory. Following the offering, 11% of the Ordinary Shares will be held by shareholders for general trading, assuming the Underwriters do not exercise the Over-Allotment Option.
In addition to this offering, we are registering up to 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.0001, that may be sold in public or private transactions or both, from time to time after the closing of our IPO by the Selling Shareholders named in the Resale Prospectus at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of outstanding Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholder. The selling of any Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholder in the resale offering is contingent upon the Ordinary Shares being listed on Nasdaq and if our listing application is not approved, the selling of any Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholder will be terminated.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. The offering price of the Shares in this offering is expected to be between US$4.00 and US$6.00 per share. The offering is being made on a “firm commitment” basis by Benjamin Securities, Inc., the underwriter. See “Underwriting.” We intend to apply to list the Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MSGY”. Listing of the Shares on Nasdaq is a condition to the offering. There is no assurance that such application will be approved, and if our application is not approved, this offering will be terminated.
Investors are cautioned that you are buying shares of a Cayman Islands holding company with operations in Hong Kong by its Operating Subsidiary.
Masonglory is a Cayman Islands holding company with no material operations of its own, and we conduct our operations primarily in Hong Kong through our Operating Subsidiary (as defined below). References to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in the prospectus are to Masonglory, the Cayman Islands entity that will issue the Ordinary Shares being offered. This is an offering of the Ordinary Shares of Masonglory, the Cayman Islands holding company, and not of the shares of the Operating Subsidiary. Investors in this offering may never directly hold any equity interests in the Operating Subsidiary.
Investing in the Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any Ordinary Shares, you should carefully read the discussion of material risks of investing in the Shares in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 16 of this prospectus.
Our operations are primarily located in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”), with its own governmental and legal system that is independent from mainland China and has its own distinct rules and regulations. Due to long-arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, there remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of laws in China. We are subject to the risks of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government or authorities in Hong Kong in this regard. We may also be subject to unique risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations.
Should the PRC government choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business, they may intervene in or influence our operations. Such governmental actions:
could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities;
could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue our operations;
could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors; and
may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
The legal and operational risks associated in operating in the PRC also apply to the Operating Subsidiary’s operations in Hong Kong, and we face the risks and uncertainties associated with the complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations and as to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments, such as those relating to data and
cyberspace security, and anti-monopoly concerns, would be applicable to the Operating Subsidiary and us, given the substantial operations of the Operating Subsidiary in Hong Kong and the possibilities that Chinese government may exercise significant oversight over the conduct of business in Hong Kong. In the event that the Operating Subsidiary is to become subject to laws and regulations of the PRC, these risks could result in material costs to ensure compliance, fines, material changes in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale, and/or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. For example, if the recent regulatory actions of the PRC government on data security, anti-monopoly or other data-related laws and regulations were to apply to us and/or our subsidiaries, we and/or our subsidiaries could become subject to certain anti-monopoly, cybersecurity and data privacy obligations, including the potential requirement to conduct a cybersecurity review for our public offerings on a foreign stock exchange, and the failure to meet such obligations could result in penalties and other regulatory actions against us and/or our subsidiaries and may materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ business and our results of operations. We believe that we and the Operating Subsidiary is not currently required to obtain permission from or complete filing procedure with the PRC and/or Hong Kong government authorities to list on a U.S. securities exchange and consummate this offering, including the permission requirement or complete filing procedure for any data security or anti-monopoly concerns. However, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case in the future in relation to the continued listing of our securities on a securities exchange in the United States, or even when such permission is obtained or such filing is completed, it will not be subsequently denied or rescinded. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — Our key operations are in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC. According to thelong-arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the Shares. The PRC government may intervene or impose restrictions on our ability to move money out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may also be quick with little advance notice and our assertions and beliefs of the risk imposed by the PRC legal and regulatory system cannot be certain.” on page 23; and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — If the PRC government chooses to extend the oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in mainland China-based issuers to Hong Kong-based issuers, such action may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless” on page 28.
We are aware that recently the PRC government has initiated a series of regulatory actions and new policies to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. See “Prospectus Summary — Recent Regulatory Development in the PRC” beginning on page 9.
On August 20, 2021, the 30 th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13 th National People’s Congress voted and passed the “Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China” (“PRC Personal Information Protection Law”), which became effective on November 1, 2021. The PRC Personal Information Protection Law applies to the processing of personal information of natural persons within the territory of China that is carried out outside of China where (1) such processing is for the purpose of providing products or services for natural persons within China, (2) such processing is to analyze or evaluate the behavior of natural persons within China, or (3) there are any other circumstances stipulated by related laws and administrative regulations.
On December 24, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), together with other relevant government authorities in mainland China, issued the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments), and the Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (“Draft Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Draft Overseas Listing Regulations require that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas (“Overseas Issuance and Listing”) shall complete the filing procedures and submit the relevant information to CSRC. The Overseas Issuance and Listing includes direct and indirect issuance and listing. Where an enterprise whose principal business activities are conducted in PRC seeks to issue and list its shares in the name of an overseas enterprise on the basis of the equity, assets, income, or other similar rights and interests of the relevant PRC domestic enterprise, such activities shall be deemed an indirect overseas issuance and listing under the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations.
On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), jointly with the relevant authorities, formally published Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021), which took effect on February 15, 2022, and replaced the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020) issued on July 10, 2021. The Measures
for Cybersecurity Review (2021) stipulates that operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing network products and services, and online platform operators (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the (“Operators”) carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, and any online platform operator who controls more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if it seeks to be listed in a foreign country.
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Measures for Administration of Overseas Securities Offerings and Listings by Domestic Companies and five interpretive guidelines (collectively, the “CSRC Filing Rules”), which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Under the CSRC Filing Rules, a filing based regulatory system shall be applied to “indirect overseas offerings and listings” of PRC domestic companies, which refers to securities offerings and listings in an overseas market made under the name of an offshore entity but based on the underlying equity, assets, earnings, or other similar rights of a domestic company that operates its main business domestically. The CSRC Filing Rules state that any post-listing follow-on offering by an issuer in the same overseas market, including issuance of shares, convertible notes, and other similar securities, shall be subject to filing requirement within three business days after the completion of the offering.
The Operating Subsidiary may collect and store certain data (including certain personal information) from our clients, who may be mainland China individuals, in connection with our business and operations and for “Know Your Customers” purposes (to combat money laundering). The Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021), PRC Data Security Law, the PRC Personal Information Protection Law, and the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations currently does not have an impact on our business, operations or this offering, nor are we or the Operating Subsidiary are covered by permission requirements from the CAC that is required to approve our Hong Kong subsidiaries’ operations and our offering, as our Hong Kong subsidiaries will not be deemed to be an “Operator” or a “data processor” that required to file for cybersecurity review before listing in the United States, because: (i) the Operating Subsidiary was incorporated in Hong Kong and operate only in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China and each of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021), the Personal Information Protection Law and the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations does not clearly provide whether it shall be applied to a company based in Hong Kong; (ii) as of date of this prospectus, the Operating Subsidiary has in aggregate collected and stored personal information of far less than one million users; (iii) all of the data the Operating Subsidiary has collected is stored in servers located in Hong Kong, and we and the Operating Subsidiary do not place any reliance on collection and processing of any personal information to maintain our business operation; (iv) as of the date of this prospectus, our Operating Subsidiary has not been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that it files for a CSRC review, nor has received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect initiated by the CAC or related governmental regulatory authorities; and (v) data processed in our business should not have a bearing on national security nor affect or may affect national security, and we and the Operating Subsidiary have not been notified by any authorities of being classified as an Operator. Moreover, pursuant to the Basic Law, PRC laws and regulations shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law (which is confined to laws relating to national defense, foreign affairs and other matters that are not within the scope of autonomy). Therefore, based on the PRC laws and regulations effective as of the date of this prospectus and subject to interpretations of these laws and regulations that may be adopted by mainland China authorities, neither we, nor the Operating Subsidiary in Hong Kong are currently required to obtain any permission or approval from the mainland China government authorities, including the CSRC and CAC, to operate our business or to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor the Operating Subsidiary have ever applied for any such permission or approval.
However, given the uncertainties arising from the legal system in mainland China and Hong Kong, including uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of the PRC laws and regulations and the significant authority of the PRC government to intervene or influence the offshore holding company headquartered in Hong Kong, there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of Draft Overseas Listing Regulations, CSRC Filing Rules, PRC Personal Information Protection Law, relevant mainland China data privacy, cybersecurity laws and other regulations. Since the CSRC Filing Rules are newly promulgated, their interpretation, application and enforcement remain unclear and there also remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of other regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities. If the CSRC Filing Rules become applicable to us or the Operating Subsidiary in Hong Kong, if the Operating Subsidiary is deemed to be an “Operator”, or if the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) or the PRC Personal Information Protection Law become applicable to the Operating Subsidiary in Hong Kong, the business operation of the Operating Subsidiary and the listing of our Ordinary Shares in the United States could be subject to the CAC’s cybersecurity review or the CSRC Overseas Issuance and Listing review in the future. While, we do not believe we are covered by the permission requirements from CSRC or CAC, investors of our company and our business may face potential
uncertainty from actions taken by the PRC government affecting our business. If the applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and the Operating Subsidiary become subject to the CAC or CSRC review, we cannot assure you that the Operating Subsidiary will be able to comply with the regulatory requirements in all respects and our current practice of collecting and processing personal information may be ordered to be rectified or terminated by regulatory authorities. If we were required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future in connection with the listing or continued listing of our securities on a stock exchange outside of the PRC, it is uncertain how long it will take for us to obtain such approval, and, even if we obtain such approval, the approval could be rescinded. Any failure to obtain or a delay in obtaining the necessary permissions from the PRC authorities to conduct offerings or list outside of the PRC may subject us to sanctions imposed by the PRC regulatory authorities, which could include fines and penalties, proceedings against us, and other forms of sanctions, and our ability to conduct our business, invest into the mainland China as foreign investments or accept foreign investments, ability to offer or continue to offer Ordinary Shares to investors or list on the U.S. or other overseas exchange may be restricted, and the value of our Ordinary Shares may significantly decline or be worthless, our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — If the PRC government chooses to extend the oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in mainland China-based issuers to Hong Kong-based issuers, such action may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless” on page 28.
The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers. The PRC government may also intervene or impose restrictions on our ability to move out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Furthermore, PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or implementing rules that require our company or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from PRC authorities before this offering. These actions could result in a material change in our operations and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to complete this offering or cause the value of the Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Prospectus Summary — Recent Regulatory Developments in the PRC” beginning on page 9.
Furthermore, as more stringent criteria, including the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”), have been recently imposed by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), recently, the Shares may be prohibited from trading if our auditor cannot be fully inspected. Our auditor, J&S Associate PLT, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess J&S Associate PLT’s compliance with applicable professional standards. J&S Associate PLT is headquartered in Malaysia, and can be inspected by the PCAOB. As of the date of this prospectus, our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021, relating to the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong because of a position taken by one or more authorities in the PRC or Hong Kong. On August 26, 2022, CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”), governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. The Protocol remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. See“Risk Factors — Risks Relating to The Shares — Although the audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by PCAOB registered auditor who are currently inspectable by the PCAOB, there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspectable by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors may be deprived of the benefits of the PCAOB inspection program. Furthermore, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act if the SEC subsequently determines our audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may determine to delist our securities. Furthermore, on December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”) was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its
auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, and thus reduced the time before the Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted”on page 29. We cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or other regulatory authorities will apply additional or more stringent criteria to us. Such uncertainty could cause the market price of the Shares to be materially and adversely affected.
Our management monitors the cash position of the Operating Subsidiary regularly and prepares budgets on a monthly basis to ensure it has the necessary funds to fulfil its obligations for the foreseeable future and to ensure adequate liquidity. In the event that there is a need for cash or a potential liquidity issue, it will be reported to our Chief Financial Officer and subject to approval by our board of directors (“Board of Directors”).
For Masonglory to transfer cash to its subsidiaries, Masonglory is permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands and its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (as defined below) to provide funding to our subsidiaries incorporated in the BVI (as defined below) and Hong Kong through loans or capital contributions. Masonglory’s subsidiary formed under the laws of the BVI is permitted under the laws of the BVI to provide funding to the Operating Subsidiary subject to certain restrictions set forth in the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 (as amended) and memorandum and articles of association of the relevant Masonglory’s subsidiary incorporated under the laws of the BVI. As a holding company, Masonglory may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its subsidiaries for its cash and financing requirements. According to the BVI Business Companies Act 2004 (as amended), a BVI company may make dividends distribution to the extent that immediately after the distribution, the value of the company’s assets exceeds its liabilities and that such company is able to pay its debts as they fall due. According to the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, a Hong Kong company may only make a distribution out of profits available for distribution. If any of Masonglory’s subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to Masonglory. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Masonglory, Masonglory BVI, and Masontech did not declare or pay any dividends and there was no transfer of assets among Masonglory and its subsidiaries. We do not have any current intentions to distribute further earnings. If we decide to pay dividends on any of the Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from the Operating Subsidiary by way of dividend payments. See “Dividend Policy,” “Risk Factors — Risks Related to The Shares — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiary to fund our cash and financing requirements, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.”on page 35, and “Consolidated Statements of Change in Shareholders’ Equity in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” for further details.
We are an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer” for additional information.
Upon the completion of this offering, 14,000,000 Ordinary Shares will be outstanding (assuming that the Underwriters do not exercise any portion of their Over-Allotment Option). Masonglory will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because, immediately after the completion of this offering under the Public Offering Prospectus and the offering of the Ordinary Shares under the Resale Prospectus, the Controlling Shareholders of Masonglory will own 11,500,000 of the total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares through Fung & Tun Limited, representing approximately 82.14% of the total voting power.
Upon the completion of this offering, the outstanding shares of Masonglory will consist of Ordinary Shares, assuming the Underwriters of this offering (the “Underwriters”) do not exercise their Over-Allotment Option (as defined below), assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.
| Per Share | Total(2) | |
|---|---|---|
| IPO price | $5.00 | $7,500,000 |
| Underwriting discounts(1) and commissions | $0.35 | $525,000 |

(1) Represents underwriting discounts equal to 7.0% per Ordinary Share.
(2) Assumes that the Underwriters do not exercise any portion of their Over-Allotment Option.
We expect our total cash expenses for this offering (including cash expenses payable to our Underwriters for their out-of-pocket expenses) to be approximately US$1,688,392 exclusive of the above discounts. In addition, we will pay additional items of value in connection with this offering that are viewed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), as underwriting compensation. These payments will further reduce proceeds available to us before expenses. See “Underwriting.”
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (as defined below) nor any state securities commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus. We have granted the Underwriters an option for a period of forty-five (45) days after the closing date of this offering (the “Closing Date”) to purchase up to 225,000 additional Ordinary Shares from us at the IPO price (or 15% of the Ordinary Shares sold in this offering), less underwriting discounts to cover over-allotments, if any. If the Underwriters exercise the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) in full, assuming the public offering price per Ordinary Share is US$5.00, the total underwriting discounts payable will be US$603,750 and the total proceeds to us, before expenses, will be US$8,021,250.
If we complete this offering, net proceeds will be delivered to us on the Closing Date.
The Underwriters expect to deliver the Ordinary Shares against payment as set forth under “Underwriting” on or about , 2024.
