SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 7, 2025

             Class A Ordinary Shares

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C

We are offering            class A ordinary shares, $0.0000001 par value per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) of AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C, a Cayman Islands holding company. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares or our class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0000001 per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”). It is currently estimated that the initial public offering price of our Class A Ordinary Share will be in the range of $4.00 and $5.00 per Class A Ordinary Share.

We have applied to list our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “AHMA.” At this time, Nasdaq has not yet approved our application to list our Class A Ordinary Shares. The closing of this offering is conditioned upon Nasdaq’s final approval of our listing application, and there is no guarantee or assurance that our Class A Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

Our authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 399,966,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,033,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 16,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 33,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the shareholders. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of our Company, and each Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to 15 votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of our Company. Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof. In no event shall Class A Ordinary Shares be convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares.

We are not an operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with operations conducted by our subsidiaries. Investors in our Class A Ordinary Shares thus are purchasing an equity interest in a Cayman Islands holding company. We hold equity interests in our subsidiaries and do not operate business through variable interest entities. As used in this prospectus, “Ambitions,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “our Company” refers to AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C. This structure involves unique risks to investors. As a holding company, we may rely on dividends from our subsidiaries for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us may be restricted by the debt they incur on their own behalf or laws and regulations applicable to them.

Investing in the Class A Ordinary Shares involves risks. See section titled “Risk Factors” of this prospectus, beginning on page 11.

We are both an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” under applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules and will be eligible for reduced public company disclosure requirements. See section titled “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an ‘Emerging Growth Company’ and a ‘Foreign Private Issuer’” for additional information.

As of the date of this prospectus, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhengang Tang, beneficially holds 12,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which represent 75.45% and 70%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately 70.17% of the aggregate voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital. Following the completion of this offering, Mr. Tang will beneficially hold            Class A Ordinary Shares (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters) and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which will represent     % and 70%, respectively, of our then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately     % of the aggregate voting power of our then issued and outstanding share capital. As such, we may be deemed a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). See “Prospectus Summary — Controlled Company.” Accordingly, Mr. Tang will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including mergers, consolidations, amendment to our memorandum and articles of association and other corporate actions that require shareholders’ approval under Cayman Islands law. See “Principal Shareholders.” As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). However, even if we are deemed a “controlled company,” we do not intend

to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market — Our Chairman of the Board of Directors has substantial influence over our company. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and he could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.”

Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(2)      We have agreed to pay AC Sunshine Securities LLC, the representative on behalf of the underwriters (the “Representative”), an underwriting discount of seven percent (7%) of the gross proceeds in this offering. We have also agreed to include a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received by us from the sales of the Class A Ordinary Shares in this offering payable to the Representative. See “Underwriting” starting on page 104 of this prospectus for more information regarding our arrangements with the underwriters.

(3)      The total estimated expenses related to this offering are set forth in the section entitled “Expenses of the Offering” on page 114.

In addition to the underwriting discounts listed above, upon closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue the Representative or its designees, up to      warrants equal to 1% of the total numbers of Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares sold as a result of the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) (the “Representative’s Warrants”), exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six months immediately following the date of commencement of sales of the securities issued in this offering, at a per share price equal to 120% of the initial public offering price. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part also covers the Representative’s Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof.

This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. We have granted the underwriters an option for a period of forty-five (45) days from the date of this prospectus to purchase up to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be offered by us pursuant to this offering (excluding Class A Ordinary Shares subject to this option), solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts. If we complete this offering, net proceeds will be delivered to us on the closing date.

The underwriters expect to deliver the Class A Ordinary Shares against payment in U.S. dollars in New York, NY on or about     , 2025.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares. For a more complete understanding of us and this Offering, you should read and carefully consider the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our combined financial statements and the related notes. Some of the statements in this prospectus are forward-looking statements. See section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Business Overview

We, through our subsidiaries in the UAE, operate as a tour operator, travel agency, and provider of event planning and management services. As the tourism industry in the Middle East region is growing rapidly, our subsidiaries primarily provide two lines of services, namely, MICE management, a comprehensive coordination and organization of events, and one-stop tourism, a comprehensive travel product that is designed to provide tourists with all the necessary components of a trip in a single and convenient package, which typically include transportation, accommodations, meals, and guided tours or activities.

In the MICE management business, our subsidiaries assist their clients, mainly companies and industry associations, with the planning, organizing, and execution of various events including annual meetings, product launch conferences, product exhibitions, and staff gatherings in the UAE. They offer comprehensive services encompassing guest invitations, event website development, event applications, advertising, and overall event management and execution.

Our subsidiaries also offer their clients comprehensive one-stop tourism services. These services include flight ticket bookings, airport pick-up, hotel reservations, restaurant bookings, rental of cars and buses, arranging tickets for tourist attractions, and providing tour guides. With this comprehensive approach, our subsidiaries’ clients are relieved from the hassle of navigating multiple websites for different services, thereby saving time and streamlining the travel planning process. As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries are able to provide travel services in the UAE, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive strengths are essential for our success and differentiate us from our competitors:

•        A broad range of customers:    Our subsidiaries serve clients across a broad spectrum of sectors, including consumer goods, technology, finance, education, and the legal industry. However, our business relies to some extent on a few major customers. Should our subsidiaries fail to maintain relationships with these key clients, or if they cannot secure replacement clients on commercially desirable terms, in a timely manner, or at all, both their business and our overall financial condition and operational results could be materially and adversely affected.

•        Large-scale event planning and organizational capabilities:    As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries boast a dedicated team of 15 professionals specializing in MICE management. In addition to their core team, our subsidiaries engage a broad network of third-party service providers, including event venue providers, translation providers, electronic equipment providers, event material producers, and advertising companies, to offer a diverse array of services to their clients.

•        Bespoke travel itinerary planning services:    Our subsidiaries are dedicated to crafting personalized travel plans tailored to each group’s specific travel goals, personal preferences, budget constraints, and the unique characteristics of their chosen destination.

•        Diversified selection of services:    Our subsidiaries work with a range of third-party service providers to offer the customers a diverse array of experiences in accommodation, dining, and transportation. Maintaining healthy relationships with these providers is crucial to ensuring a varied selection of services.

•        Experienced management team:    Our company is supported by an experienced management team, whose expertise spans across management, business administration, and tourism management.

Table of Contents

Challenges

Set forth below are the challenges our subsidiaries face in their business operations:

•        Customer concentration:    Although our subsidiaries serve a broad range of customers, our business to some extent depends on a few major customers. Dependence on these customers will expose our subsidiaries to the risks of substantial losses.

•        Risk of misconduct and errors by employees:    Executing a large-scale event necessitates a significant number of employees, either from our subsidiaries or from third-party service providers. Consequently, our subsidiaries are exposed to the risk of misconduct and errors by both their own employees and those of third-party business partners they collaborate with.

•        Seasonality:    Our subsidiaries, focusing on travel-related services primarily in the Middle East, with a focus on Dubai, experience seasonal business fluctuations, particularly from June to August, due to the extreme summer weather reducing tourism and demand for outdoor events and activities.

•        Dependence on third-party service providers:    If our subsidiaries’ third-party service providers increase prices, underperform, or discontinue their relationships with our subsidiaries, it could lead to service disruptions, lower earnings, or higher costs, significantly harming our business and financial condition.

•        Reliance on key management and personnel:    The loss of and failure to replace key technical management and personnel could adversely affect multiple development efforts.

Growth Strategies

We intend to develop our business and strengthen brand loyalty by implementing the following strategies:

•        extending our reach into additional regional markets;

•        expanding our customer reach; and

•        developing robotic solutions for enhanced tourism experience.

Table of Contents

•        The price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market — The price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares” on page 23;

•        Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.

Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company” and a “Foreign Private Issuer”

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are eligible, for up to five years, to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other publicly traded entities that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include:

•        the ability to include only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations disclosure;

•        exemptions from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;

•        to the extent that we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, including golden parachute compensation.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of this Offering or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company.

As a result, the information contained in this prospectus may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold shares. We do not know if some investors will find the Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. The result may be a less active trading market for the Class A Ordinary Shares, and the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares may become more volatile.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion; (2) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of this Offering; (3) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of the Class A Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during any three-year period.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. The extended transition period provision only applies to companies preparing financial statements under the U.S. GAAP. Because we prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we take advantage of the aforementioned provision.

Foreign Private Issuer

Upon consummation of this Offering, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

•        the rules under the Exchange Act requiring domestic filers to issue financial statements prepared under the U.S. GAAP;

•        the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

•        the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

•        the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specific information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding these exemptions, we will file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our Executive Officers or members of our Supervisory Board are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States, or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more extensive executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more extensive compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer and will continue to be permitted to follow our home country practice on such matters.

Controlled Company

As of the date of this prospectus, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhengang Tang, beneficially holds 12,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which represent 75.45% and 70%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately 70.17% of the aggregate voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital. Following the completion of this offering, Mr. Tang will beneficially hold            Class A Ordinary Shares (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters) and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which will represent     % and 70%, respectively, of our then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately     % of the aggregate voting power of our then issued and outstanding share capital. Accordingly, Mr. Tang will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including mergers, consolidations, the appointment of directors, and other significant corporate actions. See “Principal Shareholders.” As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). As a controlled company, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from the obligations to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

•        a majority of our Board of Directors consist of independent directors;

•        our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and

•        we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees.

Although we do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules even if we are a controlled company, we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future, and if so, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market — Our Chairman of the Board of Directors has substantial influence over our company. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and he could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.”

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic restricted economic activities around the world starting in 2020. Countermeasures such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels. In the past three years, many countries have vaccinated a substantial proportion of their population, and the spread of virus is now being contained to varying degrees in different countries. With the evolution of milder COVID-19 variants, availability of multiple vaccine booster doses, and increasing familiarity with the virus, many COVID-19 related travel restrictions have been lifted. This has led to a mild recovery from the severe declines in business travel bookings. As a result, we have seen an improvement in our transaction volume starting the second half of 2021 and continuing into the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, COVID-19 did not have a material impact on our operations.

The comprehensive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are yet to be determined. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt our subsidiaries’ operations, which could materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations” on page 15.

Presentation of Financial and Other Information

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our Class A Ordinary Shares, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with all of the other information set forth in this prospectus, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected, which could cause the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. The risks described below and discussed in other parts of this prospectus are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. You should only consider investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares if you can bear the risk of loss of your entire investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our subsidiaries’ operating history may not be indicative of their future growth or financial results and our subsidiaries may not be able to sustain their historical growth rates.

Our subsidiaries’ operating history may not be indicative of their future growth or financial results. There is no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to grow their revenue in future periods. Their growth rates may decline for any number of possible reasons, and some of them are beyond their control, including decreasing client demand, increasing competition, declining growth of the event planning and tourism industry in general, emergence of alternative business models, or changes in government policies or general economic conditions. Our subsidiaries expect to continue to expand their offerings to and to increase their customer base. However, the execution of their expansion plan is subject to uncertainty and the number of clients may not grow at the rate they expect for the reasons stated above. If their growth rates decline, investors’ perceptions of their business and prospects may be adversely affected and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could decline.

A decline in general economic conditions or a disruption of financial markets may affect tourism markets or the discretionary income of consumers, which in turn could adversely affect our profitability.

Our subsidiaries’ operations are influenced by the overall health of the economy, especially factors that directly affect tourism and leisure demand. Economic downturns, whether local or global, can lead to a reduction in consumer spending on non-essential items, including travel and leisure activities. As people experience a decrease in their disposable income during such periods, they are likely to cut back on expenses like vacations, weekend getaways, and other forms of tourism. Concurrently, corporate behavior shifts in response to economic pressures, with organizations opting for local venues for events rather than international locations. This may pose a challenge to our subsidiaries’ MICE management business, which may also adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, disruptions in financial markets can lead to broader economic instability, affecting consumer confidence and spending habits. When financial markets face turbulence, potential tourists may become more cautious about their expenditures, opting to save rather than spend on travel. This shift in consumer behavior can result in a decreased demand for our subsidiaries tourism agency services, leading to a reduction in revenue for our subsidiaries, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected as a result.

The event planning industry is highly competitive and has grown rapidly in the past few years. If our subsidiaries are unable to compete successfully, our financial condition and results of operations may be harmed.

The event planning industry has been developing rapidly and becoming competitive in recent years. As it is relatively easy to enter the market, there are many event planners providing services of various qualities. Competition is mainly based on rates, brand recognition, turnaround time, quality of venue, and service levels. Our subsidiaries’ clients may change their budgets and preferences and choose event planners that offer lower rates or have access to venues and facilities that our subsidiaries do not have access to, which may have an adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ competitive position and our results of operations and financial condition.

11

Table of Contents

High customer concentration exposes our subsidiaries to all of the risks faced by their major customers and may subject them to significant fluctuations or declines in revenue, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was one customer, customer D, which revenue individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue, contributing approximately 14.5% of the Group’s total revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, CTG MICE Service Company Limited was the only customer which revenue individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue, contributing approximately 12.5% of the Group’s total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, CTG MICE Service Company Limited and Shandong Weichai Import and Export Corporation were the two customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue, accounting for 20.8% and 11.1% of our total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, CTG MICE Service Company Limited was the only customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue, accounting for 11.9% of our total revenue. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Shandong Weichai Import and Export Corporation accounted for approximately 11.3% and 19.6% of the Group’s accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2024, there was one customer, customer D, that accounted for approximately 10.1% of the Group’s accounts receivable.

Our subsidiary, Hunter Dubai entered into a service agreement with CTG MICE Service Company Limited in September 2023. The service agreement with CTG MICE Service Company Limited is different from the form of service agreement used by Hunter Dubai. Compared to the form of service agreement, the agreement with CTG MICE Service Company Limited includes more detailed information regarding travel arrangements, including the number of travelers, departure cities, arrival airports, a list of hotels, and specific requirements and scope of services for drivers and tour guides, as well as catering standards. Additionally, the agreement contains additional provisions for assistance with visa re-application in case of loss, guarantees of service quality, itinerary changes, and liabilities in the event of Hunter Dubai’s breach of contract.

Our subsidiary, Hunter Dubai, entered into a service agreement and a supplementary agreement to the service agreement (collectively, the “Shandong Weichai Service Agreements”) with Shandong Weichai Import and Export Corporation in November 2023. The Shandong Weichai Service Agreements are similar to the form of service agreement used by Hunter Dubai.

Although our subsidiaries continually seek to diversify their customer base, we cannot assure you that the proportion of the revenue contribution from these customers to our subsidiaries’ total revenue will decrease in the near future. Dependence on these customers will expose our subsidiaries to the risks of substantial losses. Specifically, any one of the following events, among others, may cause material fluctuations or declines in our subsidiaries’ revenue and have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations:

•        an overall decline in the business of these clients;

•        the decision by these clients to switch to our subsidiaries’ competitors;

•        the reduction in the prices of our subsidiaries’ services agreed by these clients; or

•        the failure or inability of any of these clients to make timely payment for our subsidiaries’ services.

If our subsidiaries fail to maintain relationships with these clients, and if they are unable to find replacement clients on commercially desirable terms or in a timely manner or at all, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our subsidiaries use third-party services in connection with their business, and any disruption to these services could result in a disruption to their business, negative publicity, and a slowdown in the growth of their customer base, materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business depends on services provided by, and relationships with, various third parties. In particular, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, fees paid to the International Air Transport Association accounted for 24.9% of our subsidiaries’ overall purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2023, fees paid to the International Air Transport Association accounted for 24.1% of our subsidiaries’ overall purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2022, fees paid to International Air Transport Association accounted for 15.1% of our subsidiaries’ overall purchases. See “Business — Suppliers.”

12

Table of Contents

If such third parties increase the prices of their services, fail to provide their services effectively, terminate their services or agreements, or discontinue their relationships with our subsidiaries, our subsidiaries could suffer service interruptions, reduced revenue, or increased costs, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our subsidiaries have entered into a number of related party transactions in the ordinary course of their business, and may continue to enter into related party transactions in the future, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of our subsidiaries’ business, they have entered into transactions with related parties. As of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the amounts due from related parties amounted to $1,222,771, $1,222,771, $1,889,946, and $1,490,543, respectively.

We cannot guarantee that our subsidiaries will not continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that they have achieved and will achieve the most favorable terms with related parties for each related party transaction. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the above-mentioned transactions or any future related party transactions that they may enter into, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, the transactions with the related parties may potentially involve conflicts of interest. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any disputes that may arise among our subsidiaries and related parties will be resolved in our subsidiaries’ favor. For details, see “Related Party Transactions.”

Misconduct and errors by our subsidiaries’ employees and the employees of third parties our subsidiaries work with could harm our business and reputation.

Our subsidiaries are exposed to many types of operational risks, including the risk of misconduct and errors by their employees and the employees of third-party business partners that our subsidiaries work with. Our business depends on our subsidiaries’ employees and third parties, such as hotels, restaurants, and shops to provide services such as accommodation, dining, and shopping. We could be materially and adversely affected if these employees or partners engage in misconduct or negligence. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or errors by employees or third-party business partners, and the precautions our subsidiaries take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. If any of their employees or employees of third-party business partners take, convert, or misuse funds or documents, or fail to follow rules and procedures when interacting with current or prospective clients, our subsidiaries could be liable for damages and subject to regulatory actions and penalties. Our subsidiaries could also be perceived to have facilitated or participated in the illegal misappropriation of funds or documents, or the failure to follow rules and procedures, and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability. Any of these occurrences could result in the diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to clients, inability to attract new clients, reputational damage, regulatory intervention, and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The seasonality of the tourism industry in the UAE impacts our operating results.

Our subsidiaries experience seasonality in their business, especially from June to August, due to the extreme summer weather in Dubai, which leads to a decline in tourism and a reduced demand for outdoor events and activities. Consequently, our revenue during these months falls below the average of other quarters. Therefore, our operating results for a certain period within a calendar year may not correctly indicate our performance for the entire calendar year. Prospective investors should be aware of this seasonal fluctuation when making any comparison of our operating results.

Our subsidiaries do not have any business interruption or property insurance, and they may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance, which could expose them to significant costs and business disruption.

While our subsidiaries seek to maintain appropriate levels of insurance, not all claims are insurable, and they may experience major incidents of a nature that are not covered by insurance. They do not carry any professional liability insurance. They have not purchased any property insurance or business interruption insurance.

Our subsidiaries have determined that insuring against such risks is impractical due to the high costs and challenges in obtaining such insurance on commercially reasonable terms. They consider their insurance coverage to be sufficient for their business operations. Our subsidiaries maintain an amount of insurance protection that they believe is adequate, but there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that such insurance coverage will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all liabilities to which they may be subject.

13

Table of Contents

Our subsidiaries could, for example, be subject to substantial claims for damages upon the occurrence of several events within one calendar year. In addition, their insurance costs may increase over time in response to any negative development in their claim history or due to material price increases in the insurance market in general. If our subsidiaries were to incur substantial losses or liabilities due to fire, explosions, floods, other natural disasters or accidents or business interruption, their results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations as well.

Our subsidiaries may not successfully acquire and integrate other businesses, form and manage alliances, or divest businesses.

Our subsidiaries may pursue acquisitions, strategic alliances, or divestitures of some of their businesses as part of the business strategy. Our subsidiaries may not complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis or at all. In addition, it may be subject to regulatory constraints or limitations or other unforeseen factors that prevent them from realizing the expected benefits. Even if they are successful in making an acquisition, the business that are acquired may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than originally anticipated. They may be unable to integrate acquisitions successfully into their existing business, and they may be unable to achieve expected gross margin improvements or efficiencies. They also could incur or assume significant debt and unknown or contingent liabilities. Their reported results of operations could be negatively affected by acquisition or disposition-related charges, amortization of expenses related to intangibles, and charges for impairment of long-term assets. They may be subject to litigation in connection with, or as a result of, acquisitions, dispositions, or alliances, including claims from terminated employees, clients, or third parties, and they may be liable for future or existing litigation and claims related to the acquired business, disposition, or alliance because either they are not indemnified for such claims or the indemnification is insufficient. These effects could cause our subsidiaries to incur significant expenses and could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

If we do not obtain substantial additional financing, including the financing sought in this Offering, our ability to execute our business plan as outlined in this prospectus will be impaired.

Our plans for business expansion and development are dependent upon our raising significant additional capital, including the capital sought in this Offering. Our plans call for significant new investments in development of new travel itineraries, global market expansion in Europe and Australia through acquisitions of local travel agencies and establishment of new subsidiaries, and development of travel assistance tools such as digital tourism robot. Management estimates that our capital needs for expansion will be approximately $5 million. Although we expect the proceeds of this Offering and our net earnings to substantially fund our planned growth and development, our management will be required to properly and carefully administer and allocate these funds. Should our capital needs be higher than estimated, or should additional capital be required after the closing of this Offering, we will be required to seek additional investments, loans, or debt financing to fully pursue our business plans. Such additional investment may not be available to us on terms that are favorable or acceptable. Should we be unable to meet our full capital needs, our ability to fully implement our business plan will be impaired.

If we cannot retain, attract, and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to effectively implement our business plan.

Our success depends in large part upon our ability to retain, attract, and motivate highly skilled management, research and development, marketing, and sales personnel. The loss of and failure to replace key technical management and personnel could adversely affect multiple development efforts. Recruitment and retention of senior management and skilled technical, sales and other personnel is very competitive, and we may not be successful in either attracting or retaining such personnel. We may lose key personnel to other high technology companies, and many larger companies with significantly greater resources than us may aggressively recruit key personnel. As part of our strategy to attract and retain key personnel, we may offer equity compensation through grants of share options, restricted share awards or restricted share units. Potential employees, however, may not perceive our equity incentives as attractive enough. In addition, due to the intense competition for qualified employees, we may be required to, and have had to, increase the level of compensation paid to existing and new employees, which could materially increase our operating expenses.

Pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt our subsidiaries’ operations, which could materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Global pandemics, or fear of spread of contagious diseases, such as Ebola virus disease, COVID-19, Middle East respiratory syndrome, severe acute respiratory syndrome, H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, and avian flu, as well as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other natural disasters could disrupt our subsidiaries’ business operations, reduce or restrict their supply of services, incur significant costs to protect their employees, or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activities, political unrest, civil strife, and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any one or more of these events may impede our subsidiaries’ operating efforts and adversely affect their operating results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected many businesses in the world. With the spread of COVID-19, the demand for travel and the hosting of offline events were affected greatly. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments, such as the length and severity of the pandemic, the potential resurgence of the pandemic, future government actions in response to the pandemic and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations if the current situation continues.

Our subsidiaries are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. We cannot assure you that our subsidiaries are adequately protected from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks, or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, damage to our subsidiaries’ property, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures, or internet failures, which could adversely affect our subsidiaries and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We conduct our operations in the Middle East. The current hostilities involving Israel, the Gaza Strip, and their regional neighbors may materially and adversely impact our operations.

Since 2007, we have operated as a tour operator, travel agency, and provider of event planning and management services, primarily focused on the UAE region. Many of our officers and directors reside in the UAE. Our business and operations could be influenced by the economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in and around the UAE.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization, launched a series of coordinated attacks from the Gaza Strip onto Israel. On October 8, 2023, Israel formally declared war on Hamas, and the armed conflict is ongoing as of the date of this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, our operations have not experienced material and adverse impacts from the current hostilities involving Israel, the Gaza Strip, and their regional neighbors, however, the ongoing conflict could lead to a decrease in tourist numbers, customs closures, and flight delays, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations in the future.

Damage to our brand image could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Maintaining and enhancing our brand is critical to expanding our base of clients. Our ability to maintain and enhance our brand depends largely on our ability to maintain client confidence in our service offerings. If clients do not have a satisfactory experience with our services, our clients may seek out alternatives from our competitors and may not return to us in the future, or at all.

In addition, unfavorable publicity regarding, for example, our practices relating to privacy and data protection, competitive pressures, litigation or regulatory activity, could seriously harm our reputation. Such negative publicity also could have an adverse effect on the size, engagement, and loyalty of our client base and result in decreased total

revenue which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Client complaints or negative publicity about our services, company practices, employees, client data handling, and security practices could rapidly and severely diminish our clients’ confidence in us and result in harm to our brands.

If our subsidiaries are not able to implement their strategies to achieve their business objectives, their business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.

Our subsidiaries’ business plan and growth strategy are based on currently prevailing circumstances and the assumption that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties involved in various stages of development. However, there is no assurance that our subsidiaries will be successful in implementing their strategies or that their strategies, even if implemented, will lead to the successful achievement of their objectives. If they are not able to successfully implement their strategies, their business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected, which will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations as well.

Our subsidiaries are subject to legal and regulatory proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of their business.

Our subsidiaries have not been subject to any material allegations or complaints in the past, but they may be involved in legal and other disputes in the ordinary courses of their business, including allegations against them for potential infringement of third-party copyrights or other intellectual property rights, as well as client complaints in relation to the quality of their services and other dissatisfaction. Our subsidiaries might also be involved in governmental investigations for content posted on their websites or other aspect of their business operation in the future. Any claims against them, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert the management’s attention and resources or harm the brand equity. If a lawsuit or governmental proceeding against our subsidiaries is successful, they may be required to pay substantial damages or fines. Our subsidiaries may also lose, or be limited in, the rights to offer some of their services or be required to make changes to their offerings or business model. As a result, the scope of our subsidiaries’ service offerings could be reduced, which could adversely affect their ability to attract new clients, harm their reputation and have a material adverse effect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Moreover, becoming a public company will raise our public profile, which may result in increased litigation as well as increased public awareness of any such litigation. There is substantial uncertainty regarding the scope and application of many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject, which increases the risk that we will be subject to claims alleging violations of those laws and regulations. In the future, we may also be accused of having, or be found to have, infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated third-party intellectual property rights.

We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.

We are facilitating overseas business development. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Practices in the local business communities of many countries outside the United States have a level of government corruption that is greater than that found in the developed world. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws and we have established policies and procedures designed to monitor compliance with these anti-bribery law requirements; however, we cannot assure you that our policies and procedures will protect us from all potential reckless or criminal acts committed by individual employees or agents. If we are found to be liable for anti-bribery law violations, we could suffer from criminal or civil penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Certain Countries and Regions

Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater risks than those in more developed markets.

You should be aware that investments in emerging markets, such as the GCC region, are subject to greater risks than those in more developed markets, including risks such as:

•        political, social, and economic instability;

•        exposure to local economic and social conditions, including cultural and communication challenges;

16

Table of Contents

•        exposure to local political conditions, including political disputes, requirements to expend a portion of funds locally, and government-imposed industrial cooperation requirements, as well as increased risks of fraud and political corruption;

•        exposure to potentially undeveloped legal systems which make it difficult to enforce contractual rights and to potentially adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including licensing, approvals, grants, adjudications, and concessions, among others;

•        war, terrorism, rebellion, coup, revolution, or similar events;

•        drought, famine, epidemics, pandemics, and other complications due to natural or manmade disasters;

•        governments’ actions or interventions, including tariffs, protectionism, subsidies, various forms of exchange controls, expropriation of assets and cancellation of contractual rights;

•        boycotts and embargoes that may be imposed by the international community;

•        ambiguities, uncertainties, and changes in taxation, licensing, and other laws and regulations;

•        arbitrary or inconsistent government action, including capricious application of tax laws and selective tax audits;

•        controls on the repatriation of profits and/or dividends, including the imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;

•        difficulties and delays in obtaining new permits, licenses, and consents for business operations or renewing existing ones;

•        difficulties or an inability to obtain legal remedies in a timely manner;

•        compliance with a variety of U.S. and other foreign laws, including (i) compliance (historical and future) with the requirements of applicable anti-bribery laws, including the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; and (ii) compliance (historical and future) with sanctions and export control provisions (including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations) in several jurisdictions, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States; and

•        potential lack of reliability as to title to real property in certain jurisdictions.

Although the GCC region has enjoyed significant economic growth over the last several years, there can be no assurance that such growth will continue. Moreover, while certain governments’ policies have generally resulted in improved economic performance, there can be no assurance that such a level of performance can be sustained.

Accordingly, you should exercise particular care in evaluating the risks involved and must decide whether, in the light of those risks, your investment is appropriate. Generally, investment in emerging markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved.

Investing in GCC markets carries certain risks that should be taken into consideration. Some of the key risks include:

•        Regulatory Environment: The regulatory landscape in GCC countries may vary, and changes in regulations or government policies can impact the investment climate. It is essential to stay updated on regulations related to foreign investments, technology transfers, intellectual property rights, and data privacy.

•        Economic and Political Stability: GCC markets are subject to geopolitical tensions and economic fluctuations. Political instability, regional conflicts, or changes in government policies can affect the business environment and investor confidence, however its evident that the local governments policies are focusing on their economic growth and avoiding political conflicts.

•        Market Maturity: While GCC markets are rapidly growing, the technology sector may still be in its early stages of development. The level of market maturity, infrastructure, and adoption rates for certain technologies can vary across different countries within the GCC region.

17

Table of Contents

•        Competitive Landscape: The tech industry in the GCC region is becoming increasingly competitive, with local and international players vying for market share. Understanding the competitive landscape and differentiating your offering is crucial to succeed in this dynamic market.

•        Talent Availability: Finding skilled and experienced talent, particularly in specialized tech fields, can be a challenge in certain GCC countries. Assessing the availability of qualified professionals and building a strong team is vital for the success of tech investments, however the GCC countries have succeeded for decades to attract talents and competencies by offering high wages and unique lifestyle as well as wellbeing and comfort of life.

•        Cultural Considerations: Cultural norms and business practices in the GCC region may differ from other markets. Adapting to local customs, building relationships, and understanding the local business culture can contribute to successful investments, however the government of UAE and recently Saudi Arabia are adopting more western related culture to make it easier for expats with western cultures to adapt with the local culture.

The economies within the GCC region are highly dependent upon the oil and gas industry.

The UAE’s economy as well as a number of other economies within the GCC region are highly dependent upon the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas prices fluctuate in response to changes in many factors, including, but not limited to:

•        economic and political developments in oil producing regions;

•        global and regional supply and demand, and expectations regarding future supply and demand, for oil and gas products;

•        the ability of members of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other crude oil producing nations to agree upon and maintain specified global production levels and prices;

•        the impact of international environmental regulations designed to reduce carbon emissions;

•        actions taken by major crude oil and gas producing or consuming countries;

•        prices and availability of alternative fuels;

•        global economic and political conditions;

•        development of new technologies; and

•        global weather and environmental conditions.

Oil prices declined significantly beginning in June 2014, and although prices have recovered in 2018, they have remained volatile with periodic declines since October 2018, including during the first quarter of 2020. If oil prices decline again, this is likely to have an adverse effect on the gross domestic product and other economic indicators of oil-producing countries, such as the UAE, resulting in fewer tourists and business travelers coming into the countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected by changes in government policies, laws, and regulations in the UAE.

We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in the UAE. As such, our business may be adversely affected by changes in government policies, laws, and regulations in the UAE.

On January 16, 2023, the Ministry of Finance of the UAE introduced a 9% federal corporate tax regime for the first time in the UAE to be applied on the adjusted accounting net profits of a business above AED375,000 (US$102,110), which came into effect on 1 June 2023. Of our subsidiaries, only Hunter International Travel & Tourism L.L.C., is subject to corporate income tax in the UAE as its net profit meets the AED375,000 (US$102,110) threshold.

Moreover, value added tax, or VAT, was introduced in the UAE on January 1, 2018, at a rate of 5%. Whilst VAT will apply to our business transactions in the UAE, it has not had a material impact on our business. However, any further change in VAT in the UAE could increase the costs for users to purchase our services and may reduce user spending as a result, which could adversely affect our revenue.

In addition, the AED, which is the legal currency of the UAE, has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725 AEDs per U.S. dollar since November 1997. However, there can be no assurance that the AED will not be de-pegged in the future or that the existing peg will not be adjusted in a manner that negatively impacts the level of economic activities in the UAE or negatively impacts the attractiveness of the UAE as a tourist destination. Any such de-pegging or adjustment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The economic, political, and social conditions in the GCC region, as well as government policies, laws, and regulations, could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our subsidiaries are located in the UAE, and they provide travel agency services in the GCC region, therefore, they must comply with the applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdiction of the GCC region. The regulatory bodies in the GCC region may not be as fully matured and as established as those of the United States. Existing laws and regulations may be applied inconsistently with anomalies in their interpretation or implementation. Inconsistent interpretation or implementation in relation to existing laws and regulations could restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to offer their services in the relevant jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our failure to obtain, maintain or renew licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, or filings necessary to conduct our subsidiaries’ operations could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions oversee different aspects of our subsidiaries’ business operations. Our subsidiaries are required to obtain a number of licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, and filings and are subject to certain reporting obligations required for maintaining our subsidiaries and personnel in such jurisdictions. We cannot assure you that our subsidiaries have obtained all of these licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, and filings or will continue to maintain or renew all of them or that our subsidiaries have complied with these requirements in full. If our subsidiaries fail to obtain necessary authorizations, they may be subject to various penalties, such as confiscation of illegal revenues, fines and discontinuation or restriction of business operations, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to maintain their existing licenses, approvals, registrations or permits in the relevant jurisdictions, renew any of them when their current term expires, or update existing licenses or obtain additional licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, or filings necessary for our subsidiaries’ business expansion from time to time. If our subsidiaries fail to do so, our business, financial conditions and operational results may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Relating to this Offering and the Trading Market

There was no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares prior to this Offering, and you may not be able to resell our Class A Ordinary Shares at or above the price you pay for them, or at all.

Prior to this Offering, there has not been a public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares. We have applied for the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and are waiting for the Nasdaq Capital Market’s approval as of the date of this prospectus. An active public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares, however, may not develop or be sustained after the Offering, in which case the market price and liquidity of our Class A Ordinary Shares will be materially and adversely affected.

The Offering Price for our Class A Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and such market prices may be volatile.

The Offering Price for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriter and may not bear a direct relationship to our earnings, book value, or any other indicia of value. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares will not decline significantly below the Offering Price. The financial markets in the United States and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the last few years. Volatility in the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be caused by factors outside of our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the results of our operations.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of Ordinary Shares purchased.

The Offering Price of our Class A Ordinary Shares is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Consequently, when you purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares in the offering, upon completion of the Offering, you will incur immediate dilution of $           per share, assuming an Offering Price of $4.50, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the Offering Price shown on the front cover of this prospectus. See “Dilution.” In addition, you may experience further dilution to the extent that additional Class A Ordinary Shares are issued upon exercise of outstanding options we may grant from time to time.

Our Chairman of the Board of Directors has substantial influence over our company. His interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and he could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

As of the date of this prospectus, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhengang Tang, beneficially holds 12,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which represent 75.45% and 70%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately 70.17% of the aggregate voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital. Following the completion of this Offering, Mr. Tang will beneficially hold            Class A Ordinary Shares (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters) and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which will represent           % and 70%, respectively, of our then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately           % of the aggregate voting power of our then issued and outstanding share capital. See also “Prospectus Summary — Controlled Company” and “Principal Shareholders.” As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). However, even if we are deemed a “controlled company,” we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Accordingly, Zhengang Tang could have a significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the appointment of directors, and other significant corporate actions. He will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Without the consent of Zhengang Tang, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. In addition, he could violate his fiduciary duties by diverting business opportunities from us to themselves or others. The interests of Zhengang Tang may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership interest may cause a material decline in the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. For more information regarding Zhengang Tang and his affiliated entity, see “Principal Shareholders.”

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have been identified, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Prior to this Offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. The material weakness identified relates to (i) the lack of formal internal control policies and internal independent supervision functions to establish formal risk assessment process and internal control framework over financing reporting; (ii) the lack of accounting staff and resources with appropriate knowledge of generally accepted the U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements to design and implement formal period-end financial reporting policies and procedures to address complex U.S. GAAP technical accounting issue in accordance with the U.S. GAAP and the SEC requirements.

Following the identification of the material weaknesses and control deficiencies, we have taken the following remedial measures: (i) hiring additional qualified accounting and financial personnel with appropriate knowledge and experience in U.S. GAAP accounting and SEC reporting; (ii) organizing regular training for our accounting staffs, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, and (iii) establishing internal audit function by engaging an external consulting firm to assist us with assessment of compliance requirements and improvement of overall internal control. We also plan to adopt additional measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including, among others, creating U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures manual, which will be maintained, reviewed, and updated, on a regular basis, to the latest U.S. GAAP accounting standards, and establishing an audit committee and strengthening corporate governance.

20

Table of Contents

However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to correct the material weaknesses or our failure to discover and address any other material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares, may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.

Upon completion of this Offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our second annual report after becoming a public company. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified, if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated, or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation in a timely manner.

We will incur substantial increased costs as a result of being a public company.

Upon consummation of this Offering, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.

Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costlier. We also incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified people to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act and will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” or until five years following the completion of this Offering, whichever is earlier, we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we have been required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures.

We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Substantial future sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares or the anticipation of future sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the public market could cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market after the Offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline. An aggregate of 16,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares is issued and outstanding before the consummation of this Offering (as adjusted to reflect the Reclassification Plan). An aggregate of            Class A Ordinary Shares will be outstanding immediately after the consummation of this Offering. Sales of these shares on the market could cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares if the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares increases.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish a negative report regarding our Class A Ordinary Shares, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.

Any trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares may depend in part on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade us, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and the trading volume to decline.

The market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the Offering Price.

The Offering Price for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between the underwriters and us and may vary from the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares following the Offering. If you purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares in the Offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the Offering Price. We cannot assure you that the Offering Price of our Class A Ordinary Shares, or the market price following our initial public offering, will equal or exceed prices in privately negotiated transactions of our shares that have occurred from time to time prior to this Offering. The market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our revenue and other operating results;

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.

The price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with a relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A Ordinary Shares are low, people buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trade could also cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares. A decline in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares or other of our securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our Class A Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all.

Our management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in the Offering and may use them in ways that may not enhance our results of operations or the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

We anticipate that we will use the net proceeds from this Offering for the development of new travel itineraries, global market expansion in Europe and Australia through acquisitions of local travel agencies and establishment of new subsidiaries, development of travel assistance tools such as digital tourism robot, and working capital and other general corporate purposes. Our management will have significant discretion as to the use of the net proceeds to us from this Offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

We expect to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon the completion of this Offering. As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States domestic issuers, and we will not be required to disclose in our periodic reports all of the information that United States domestic issuers are required to disclose. While we currently expect to qualify as a foreign private issuer immediately following the completion of this Offering, we may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, in which case we would incur significant additional expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.

Nasdaq listing rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements, or we may choose to comply with the above requirement within one year of listing. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of our Company, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of our Company may decrease as a result. In addition, Nasdaq listing rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and an audit committee with a minimum of three members. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. Nasdaq listing rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq listing rules in determining whether shareholder approval is required on such matters and to appoint a nominating and corporate governance committee. We may, however, consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq listing rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors.

If we cannot continue to satisfy the listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

We have applied to have our Class A Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market upon consummation of this Offering. It is a condition to the closing of this Offering that our Class A Ordinary Shares qualify for listing on a national securities exchange. Following this Offering, in order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will be required to comply with certain rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even if we initially meet the listing requirements and other applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting.

If the Nasdaq Capital Market subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

•        a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

•        reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

•        a determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Class A Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares;

•        limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Anti-takeover provisions in our articles of association may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control.

Some provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, which will become effective on or before the completion of this Offering, may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including, among other things, the following:

•        provisions that authorize our Board of Directors to issue shares with preferred, deferred, or other special rights or restrictions without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and

•        provisions that restrict the ability of our shareholders to call meetings and to propose special matters for consideration at shareholder meetings.

Because we are an “emerging growth company,” we may not be subject to requirements that other public companies are subject to, which could affect investor confidence in us and our Class A Ordinary Shares.

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies.

Further, we elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. If some investors find our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile. See “Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company” and “Foreign Private Issuer.”

The laws of the Cayman Islands may not provide our shareholders with benefits comparable to those provided to shareholders of corporations incorporated in the United States.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law in the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England and Wales, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law may be narrower in scope or less developed than they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws relative to the United States. Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of the register of members of these companies (other than the memorandum and articles of association, the register of mortgages and charges and any special resolutions passed by shareholders). The Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands shall make available the list of the names of the current directors of the Company (and where applicable the current alternate directors of the Company) for inspection by any person upon payment of a fee by such person. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provides that our directors have discretion to determine, or our shareholders may by ordinary resolutions resolve to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the Board of Directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the company law of the Cayman Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital and Governing Documents — Differences in Corporate Law.”

You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

Cayman Islands law does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting or put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles allow any one or more of our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company, to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least ten calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of the total issued shares carrying the right to vote at a general meeting of our Company.

If we are classified as a PFIC, United States taxpayers who own our Class A Ordinary Shares may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

A non-U.S. corporation such as ourselves will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year if, for such year, either

•        At least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or

•        The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year which produce passive income or which are held to produce of passive income is at least 50%.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our Class A Ordinary Shares, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

Depending on the amount of cash we raise in this Offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our 2024 taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income, in which case we would be deemed a PFIC, which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers who are shareholders. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the equity by value.

For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were or are determined to be a PFIC, see “Taxation — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Our pre-IPO shareholders will be able to sell their shares upon completion of this Offering subject to restrictions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

We have 16,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Our pre-IPO shareholders may be able to sell their Class A Ordinary Shares under Rule 144 after the completion of this Offering. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.” Because these shareholders have paid a lower price per Class A Ordinary Share than participants in this Offering, when they are able to sell their pre-IPO shares under Rule 144, they may be more willing to accept a lower sales price than the IPO price. This fact could impact the trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares following the completion of the Offering, to the detriment of participants in this Offering. Under Rule 144, before our pre-IPO shareholders can sell their shares, in addition to meeting other requirements, they must meet the required holding period. We do not expect any of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during the pendency of this Offering.

The shareholders who own 5% or more of our Ordinary Shares have agreed not to sell any of their Ordinary Shares for a period of six (6) months from the date of this prospectus. See “Underwriting — Lock-Up Agreements” for more information.

Our dual-class capital structure has the effect of concentrating voting control with our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and his interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

We have a dual-class voting structure consisting of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Under the dual-class structure, holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote per Class A Ordinary Share, and holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to 15 votes per Class B Ordinary Share, which may cause the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares to have an unbalanced, higher concentration of voting power. As of the date of this prospectus, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zhengang Tang, beneficially holds 12,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which represent 75.45% and 70%, respectively, of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately     % of the aggregate voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital. Following the completion of this Offering, Mr. Tang will beneficially hold      Class A Ordinary Shares (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters) and 23,450,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which will represent     % and 70%, respectively, of our then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and collectively represent approximately     % of the aggregate voting power of our then issued and outstanding share capital. See also “Prospectus Summary — Controlled Company” and “Principal Shareholders.” As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). However, even if we are deemed a “controlled company,” we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Mr. Zhengang Tang, as the controlling shareholder of our Company, has substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors, and other significant corporate actions. He may take actions that are not in the best interests of us or our other shareholders. These corporate actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders. Further, such concentration of voting power may discourage, prevent, or delay the consummation of change of control transactions that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. Future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares may also be dilutive to the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result, the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be materially and adversely affected.

Our dual-class capital structure may adversely affect the trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares.

We have a dual-class voting structure consisting of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. However, several shareholder advisory firms announced their opposition to the use of multiple-class structures. As a result, the dual-class structure of our Ordinary Shares may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of current or historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors,” that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “potential,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “likely to” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements about:

•        changes in political, social, and economic conditions, the regulatory environment, laws and regulations and interpretation thereof in the jurisdictions where we conduct business or expect to conduct business;

•        the risk that we may be unable to realize our anticipated growth strategies and expected internal growth;

•        changes in the availability and cost of professional staff which we require to operate our business;

•        changes in customers’ preferences and needs;

•        changes in competitive conditions and our ability to compete under such conditions;

•        changes in our future capital needs and the availability of financing and capital to fund such needs;

•        changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates;

•        projections of revenue, profits, earnings, capital structure and other financial items;

•        changes in our plan to enter into certain new business sectors; and

•        other factors beyond our control.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this prospectus include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this prospectus. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

This prospectus also contains statistical data and estimates that we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by government or third-party providers of market intelligence.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this Offering of approximately $     million, after deducting underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance, and estimated offering expenses payable by us. These estimates are based upon an assumed Offering Price of $4.50 per Class A Ordinary Share, the midpoint of the estimated range of the Offering Price shown on the front cover of this prospectus.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this Offering in the following order of priority:

•        approximately 40%, or US$     million for the development of new travel itineraries;

•        approximately 25%, or US$     million for global market expansion in Europe and Australia through acquisitions of local travel agencies and establishment of new subsidiaries (as of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified any potential target companies for such acquisitions);

•        approximately 10%, or US$     million for development of travel assistance tools such as digital tourism robot; and

•        approximately 25%, or US$     million for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

To the extent that our actual net proceeds are not sufficient to fund all of the proposed purposes, we will decrease our allocation of the net proceeds for the purposes set out above on a pro rata basis. We would anticipate raising additional capital through equity or debt financing sufficient to fund our proposed uses above.

The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by our operations, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business, and our plans and business conditions. The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this Offering. Our management will have significant flexibility in applying and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this Offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this Offering differently than as described in this prospectus.

Pending deployment of the net proceeds for the uses described above, the funds may be placed in short-term deposits with financial institutions or used to invest in short-term money market instruments.

Table of Contents

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have no formal dividend policy. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and to repay indebtedness and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our Board of Directors has complete discretion in deciding whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that we may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution, declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our Board of Directors. Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the timing, amount, and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Please see the section entitled “Taxation” of this prospectus for information on the potential tax consequences of any cash dividends declared.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Class A Ordinary Shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the Offering Price per share of our Class A Ordinary Shares in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of the Class A Ordinary Shares upon completion of this Offering. Dilution results from the fact that the Offering Price per share is substantially in excess of the net tangible book value per share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.

Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a shareholder vote, each holder of Class A Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per Class A Ordinary Share and each holder of Class B Ordinary Shares will be entitled to 15 votes per Class B Ordinary Shares. Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time after issuance at the option of the holder on a one-to-one basis. Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into shares of any other class. Class B Ordinary Shares are not being converted as part of this Offering.

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was $          , or $           per share of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share (as adjusted for this Offering) from the Offering Price (the midpoint of the estimated range of the Offering Price shown on the front cover of this prospectus) and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. Because Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same dividend and other rights, except for voting and conversion rights, the dilution is presented based on all issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares.

After giving effect to the issuance and sale of            Class A Ordinary Shares in this Offering at an assumed Offering Price of US$4.50 per share (the midpoint of the estimated range of the Offering Price shown on the front cover of this prospectus) after deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, would have been $          , or $           per outstanding Class A Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $           per Class A Ordinary Share to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $           per share to investors purchasing the Class A Ordinary Shares in this Offering. The as-adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Cayman Islands experts named in this prospectus, many of whom reside outside of the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because substantially all of our assets and substantially all of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may be difficult to collect within the United States.

Cogency will act as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any suit, action, or proceeding originating in the state and federal courts of the United States related to this registration statement.

Cayman Islands

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits: (a) political and economic stability; (b) an effective judicial system; (c) a favorable tax system; (d) the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and (e) the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:

•        the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws than the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

•        Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles does not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, among us, our officers, directors, and shareholders, be arbitrated.

Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely to (1) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States and (2) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands to impose liabilities against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.

We have also been advised by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP that, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgements), the courts of the Cayman Islands will, at common law, recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the liquidated sum for which such judgment has been given, provided such judgment (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (iii) is final and conclusive; (iv) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (v) is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, (vi) is not impeachable on the grounds of fraud and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

However, Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the United States courts under the civil liability provisions of the securities laws if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

United States

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the UAE, and substantially all of our assets are located in this jurisdiction. In addition, most of our directors and officers are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or

them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in United States courts judgments obtained in United States courts based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors.

UAE

Our UAE legal counsel, Clyde & Co LLP (Dubai Branch), has advised us that the Dubai Courts will not enforce a foreign judgment where they would have had exclusive jurisdiction to hear the underlying dispute. If the Dubai Courts did not have jurisdiction or had concurrent jurisdiction with a foreign court, the Dubai Courts would enforce the judgment under the same conditions a UAE judgment would be enforced in the country which issued the judgment if: i) the foreign court that issued the judgment or order has been issued in accordance with the laws of the state in which the judgement or order has been issued, iii) the parties to the claim which the foreign judgement is issued were required to appear and were properly represented, iv) the judgment has res judicata effect; v) the judgement does not conflict with a judgment previously issued in the UAE and does not violate public policy or morals. Additionally, in principle, a money judgment from a recognized court may be enforced in ‘onshore’ Dubai through the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts if the judgment meets the common law test for enforcement, namely it is final and conclusive, the court issuing the judgment had jurisdiction to determine the dispute, the judgment does not relate to payment of taxes, fines, or penalties and the judgement is not subject to a ground justifying challenge to enforcement (e.g. where the judgement is contrary to public policy, obtained by fraud or is inconsistent with a prior judgement). If there are parallel proceedings in onshore Dubai Courts, it may not be possible to use the DIFC Courts as a conduit.

MANAGEMENT’ S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion and analysis below present our historical results as of and for the periods ended on, the dates indicated. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. The historical financials below are those of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are a one-stop tourism and management solutions service provider for MICE in the UAE. We, through our subsidiaries provide comprehensive services and customized solutions for tourism and MICE travel customers, including event planning, ticketing, visa application, ground services, accommodation and dining arrangements, event reception and execution. We collaborate with numerous experienced travel agencies, hotels, airlines, and other relevant service providers to ensure providing personalized service with high quality.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our revenue was approximately $8.5 million, $18.6 million, and $11.3 million, respectively. We recorded net income of approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We recorded net income of approximately $1.4 million and net income of approximately $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by various factors, which primarily include the following:

General Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

•        global economic growth;

•        the growth and competitive landscape of management solution service industry in UAE; and

•        governmental policies and initiatives affecting the UAE’s management solution service industry. For instance, to stimulate the development of Dubai’s MICE services industry, the Dubai government has introduced a policy in 2023 to provide financial support to qualified MICE service suppliers. Under this incentive scheme, MICE service suppliers will receive financial support for events they host with more than 500 attendees. As of the date of this prospectus, we have received such supports twice from the Department of Dubai Business Events in an amount of $40,844 (AED150,000) and $102,110 (AED375,000), which were used to offset the cost of the two large-scale exhibition events we hosted for in 2023 with more than 500 attendees each. We expect to continue receiving such incentives, as long as the policy remains in place, as we are committed to expanding our customer base and service scope and to hosting events with more than 500 attendees.

Special Factors Affecting Our Results of Operation

While our business is influenced by general factors affecting our industry, our operating results are more directly affected by company-specific factors, including the following key factors:

•        Our ability to maintain relationships with major customers;

•        Our ability to maintain relationships with third-party service providers;

•        Our ability to retain, attract, and motivate key personnel; and

•        Our ability to maintain and enhance the recognition of our brands.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — High customer concentration exposes our subsidiaries to all of the risks faced by their major customers and may subject them to significant fluctuations or declines in revenue, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations,” “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Our subsidiaries use third-party services in connection with their business, and any disruption to these services could result in a disruption to their business, negative publicity, and a slowdown in the growth of their customer base, materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations,” “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — If we cannot retain, attract, and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to effectively implement our business plan,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Damage to our brand image could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.”

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world beginning in 2020. Government measures implemented then to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels.

Since then, many countries have vaccinated a reasonable proportion of their population, and the spread of virus is now being contained to varying degrees in different countries. With the evolution of milder COVID-19 variants, availability of multiple vaccine booster doses, and increasing familiarity with the virus, many COVID-19 related travel restrictions have been lifted with countries reopening their borders for foreign travel and clients becoming more comfortable traveling. This has led to a moderation, and to some extent, a recovery, from the more severe declines in business travel bookings experienced at the height of the pandemic and during periods of resurgence. We have seen improvement in our transaction volume starting the second half of 2021 and continuing into the six months ended June 30, 2024. While the global travel activity has since shown a recovery trend, it remains below levels reached in 2019. Since March 2020, we have taken several measures to preserve our liquidity, including initiating a business response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic (voluntary and involuntary redundancies, flexible workings, mandatory pay reductions, and consolidating facilities.). We incurred a net income of $0.1 million and had cash inflows from operations of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We incurred a net income of $1.4 million and had cash outflows from operations of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a net income of $1.3 million and cash outflows from operations of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Overall, the full duration and total impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, and it is difficult to predict how the recovery will unfold for the travel industry and, in particular, our business going forward. The severity and duration of resurgence of COVID-19 variants, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against such new variants of the virus, may contribute to delays in economic recovery.

On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 is now an established and ongoing health issue which no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. However, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of COVID-19, the potential resurgence of COVID-19 cases, future government actions in response to COVID-19, and the overall impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, we are currently unable to quantify the expected impact of COVID-19 on our future operations, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt our subsidiaries’ operations, which could materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations” on page 15.

MICE management solution services revenue.

We generate revenue from providing MICE management solution services to corporate customers for their business purpose tourism. Our services cover all aspects of the work including event planning, venue selection, event promotion, event execution, event management, and post-event evaluation. MICE management solution services revenue is recognized on a gross basis at a point in time when the service is completed.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our MICE management solution services revenue accounted for approximately $6.3 million and $3.9 million, representing 74.4% and 74.3% of our total revenue, respectively.

Packaged tours services revenue.

We, through our subsidiaries, also operate our self-operated local tour operator business in various destinations by directly providing destination-based services to the organized tour customers, starting from their arrival at the destination and all the way until they depart from the destination. As a self-operated local tour operator, our subsidiaries integrate the underlying resources such as transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals, and tour guide services from selected suppliers, directs the selected vendors to provide services on our subsidiaries’ behalf, and hence sets up the price for the tour.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, packaged tours service revenue accounted for approximately $1.9 million and $1.1 million, representing 21.9% and 21.0% of our total revenue, respectively.

Commission revenue for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation services.

We receive commissions from travel suppliers for ticketing reservations, hotel room reservations, and other related services through the Group’s transaction under various services agreements. We are not entitled to commission fees for tickets or hotel rooms canceled by end users. We present revenue from such transactions on a net basis as we generally do not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the end user and do not assume inventory risk for canceled ticketing and hotel room reservations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, commission revenue for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation services accounted for approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, representing 2.6% and 4.0% of our total revenue, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, commission revenue for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation services accounted for approximately $0.4 million and $0.5 million, representing 2.2% and 4.8% of our total revenue, respectively.

Other Revenue.

Other revenue primarily comprises revenue generated from service fees received from insurance companies and commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets and visa application services.

Costs of Revenue

Cost of revenue mainly consists of salaries and other compensation expenses related to our tour advisors, customer services representatives, and other personnel related to MICE management solution services and packaged tours transactions, and other expenses directly attributable to our subsidiaries’ principal business operations, primarily including cost of merchandises, payment processing fees, telecommunication expenses, rental expenses, depreciation expenses, and other service fees. For the arrangements where our subsidiaries secure availabilities of tours and bears substantive inventory risks and for the self-operated local tour operator business, from which revenue are recognized on a gross basis, cost of revenue also includes the amount paid to tour operators or suppliers.

Selling and marketing expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of (i) compensation to sales personnel, including the salaries, performance-based bonus, and other benefits; (ii) service fee related to the sales and marketing function; (iii) advertising, marketing, and brand promotion expenses; and (iv) other expenses in relation to the selling and marketing activities.

Our selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately 7.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Despite the significant increase in revenue from the six months ended June 30, 2023, to the six months ended June 30, 2024, the company has not relied on paying more for sales, but rather on maintaining favorable relationships with existing customers for promotional purposes. Therefore, selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue did not fluctuate significantly.

Our selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue was approximately 6.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023, which remained flat comparing to approximately 5.5% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of (i) compensation for our management and administrative personnel; (ii) professional service expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization; and (iv) transportation, insurance, and other expenses in relation to the general and administrative activities.

Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to approximately 12.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately 7.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase of professional service expense related to the Offering.

Our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was approximately 5.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023, which remained equable comparing to approximately 6.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Taxation

Cayman Islands

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

41

Table of Contents

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of the shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

The United Arab Emirates

Under the current laws of the UAE, our subsidiaries incorporated in Dubai are not subject to tax on income or capital gain. Additionally, UAE does not impose a withholding tax on payments of dividends to shareholders.

Incoming Federal Corporate Tax

The UAE has recently issued the Corporate Tax Law, pursuant to which federal corporate tax will be implemented for financial periods starting on or after June 1, 2023. A tax rate of 9% on taxable income in excess of AED 375,000 (US$102,110) will be applicable to (i) legal persons incorporated or managed and controlled in the UAE; (ii) natural persons that conduct business in the UAE; and (iii) foreign businesses that have a permanent establishment in the UAE. Special rules govern qualifying free zone entities, pursuant to which such entities will be subject to 0% tax on their qualifying income. A different, higher, tax rate is expected to apply to certain entities that are part of large multinational groups with global consolidated revenue in excess of 750 million Euro (approximately AED3.15 billion (US$0.86 billion); however, such rate has not yet been specified. Certain categories of UAE-sourced income generated by foreign businesses without a permanent establishment in the UAE will be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 0%. It is currently unclear how capital gains derived by foreign businesses from the sale of shares of entities resident in the UAE would be taxed.

Uncertain tax positions

The Group did not accrue any liabilities, interest, or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Out of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2-Significant accounting policies of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this registration statement, certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates, and assumptions. While management believes its judgments, estimates, and assumptions are reasonable, they are based on information presently available and actual results may differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Impairment of Right-of-use Assets and Other Long-lived Assets

We review our right-of-use assets, or ROU assets, and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. Factors we consider to be important which could trigger an impairment review primarily include:

•        significant underperformance relative to projected operating results;

•        significant changes in the overall business strategy;

•        significant adverse changes in legal or business environment; and

•        significant competition, unfavorable industry trends, or economic outlook.

When these events occur, we measure impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposal. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were approximately $0.05 million, $0.05 million, and $0.07 million of impairment of long-lived assets recognized.

Revenue recognition

Under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and recognizes in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenue according to the following five-step revenue recognition criteria based on ASC 606: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

We generate revenue by providing (i) MICE management solution services, (ii) packaged tours services, (iii) services for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation, and (iv) other travel related services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services in an arrangement is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services.

MICE management solution services revenue

We generate revenue from providing MICE management solution services to the corporate customers for their business purpose tourism. We act as the principal and our performance obligation is to provide the planning, organization, management, and related services for MICE customers. Our services include all aspects of the work from event planning, venue selection, event promotion, event execution, event management, and post-event evaluation. Each contract of MICE management solution services contains a single performance obligation to provide MICE management solution services which is satisfied at the point when the meetings, conferences, and exhibitions are hosted successfully. We determine pricing for each contract separately without any variable considerations. MICE management solution services revenue is recognized on a gross basis at a point in time when the service is completed.

Packaged tours services revenue

We, through our subsidiary, Hunter Dubai, also operate our self-operated local tour operator business in various destinations by directly providing destination-based services to the organized tour customers, starting from their arrival at the destination and all the way until they depart from the destination. As a self-operated local tour operator, Hunter Dubai integrates the underlying resources such as transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals, and tour guide services from selected suppliers, directs the selected vendors to provide services on its behalf, and hence sets up the price for the tour. Hunter Dubai is also primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise of the whole packaged tours service, which is a single performance obligation. Accordingly, we, through Hunter Dubai, act as a principal for the self-operated local tour operator business and recognize revenue on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606.

Commission revenue for air ticketing and hotel reservation

Transportation ticketing services

We receive commissions from travel suppliers for ticketing reservations and other related services through our transaction under various services agreements. Commissions from ticketing reservation services are recognized when tickets are issued, as this is when our performance obligation is satisfied. We are not entitled to a commission fee for the tickets canceled by the end users. Losses incurred from cancelations are immaterial due to a historical low cancelation rate and minimal administrative costs incurred in processing cancelations. We present revenue from such transactions on a net basis as we, generally, do not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the end user and do not assume inventory risk for canceled ticketing reservations.

Accommodation reservation services

We receive commissions from travel suppliers for hotel room reservations through our transactions. Commissions from hotel reservation services rendered are recognized when the reservation becomes non-cancelable (when the cancelation period provided by the reservation expires) which is the point at which we have fulfilled our performance obligation (successfully booking a reservation, which includes certain post-booking services during the cancelation period). Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain incentive commissions typically subject to achieving specific performance targets. The incentive commissions are considered as variable consideration and are estimated and recognized to the extent that we are entitled to such incentive commissions. We generally receive incentive commissions from monthly arrangements with hotels based on the number of hotel room reservations where end users have completed their stay. We present revenue from such transactions on a net basis as we, generally, do not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the end user and do not assume inventory risk for canceled hotel reservations.

Other revenue

Other revenue primarily comprises revenue generated from service fees received from insurance companies and commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets and visa application services.

Contract balances

When either party to a contract has performed, we would present the contract in the consolidated balance sheets as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between our performance and the customer’s payment.

A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If we perform by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before a payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.

A contract liability is recognized when a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before we transfer the related services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when we perform under the contract. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $917,572 and $971,818, respectively, which was initially recorded as contract liabilities and presented as “Advance from customers” on the consolidated balance sheet at the beginning of each period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, contract liabilities amounted to $917,572 and $971,818, respectively. Subsequently, we recognized revenue of $142,309 which was initially recorded as contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Group recognized revenue of $142,309 and $917,572, respectively, which was initially recorded as contract liabilities and presented as “Advance from customers” on the consolidated balance sheets at the beginning of each period. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities amounted to $122,562 and $142,309, respectively. Subsequently, the Group recognized revenue of $122,562 which was initially recorded as contract liabilities as of June 30, 2024.

The six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023

Revenue.    Our total revenue increased by approximately 60.8% from approximately $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to approximately $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increased MICE services demand from the corporate customers driven by the recovery in MICE travel from the COVID-19 pandemic and UAE government’s support for the tourism industry.

Cost of Revenue.    Our cost of revenue increased by approximately 50.9% from approximately $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to approximately $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

Revenue.    Our total revenue increased by approximately 64.3% from approximately $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the increased MICE management solution services revenue and packaged tours services revenue. Our MICE management solution services revenue increased by approximately 29.5% from approximately $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our packaged tours services revenue increased by approximately 375.6% from approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of MICE management solution services revenue and packaged tours services revenue is primarily due to the strengthened demand by our customers with recovered tourism business in the UAE after the COVID-19 pandemic and the improved recognition of our brand by our customers. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we served a total of 426 and 349 enterprise customers from diversified industries and regions, with a total number of tour groups of 2,900 and 1,700, or 33,620 customers and 14,453 customers, respectively. The number of groups with a single group income exceeding $27,000 (AED100,000) increased by 149.1% from 57 groups in 2022 to 142 groups in 2023. Additionally, the UAE is investing heavily in infrastructure construction to facilitate international trade, tourism, and business activities, aiming to attract more people to UAE for commercial activities and tourism. This has also driven an increase in demand for our MICE management solutions service.

Cost of Revenue.    Our cost of revenue increased by approximately 72.8% from approximately $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to the increased MICE management solution services cost and packaged tours services cost. Our cost of MICE management solution services increased by approximately 28.9% from approximately $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, mainly due to the increased purchase cost of hotel and airfare which were driven by the recovered tourism business in the UAE after the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, we incurred more costs in hiring additional personnel to manage and support increased meeting and events demands due to an increase of customers and the increased purchase cost of hotel and airfare which were driven by the recovered tourism business in the UAE after the COVID-19 pandemic with the growth of transaction volume.

Gross Profit.    As a result of the factors set out above, our gross profit increased by approximately 35.7% from approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Selling and marketing Expenses.    Our selling and marketing expenses increased by approximately 89.1% from approximately $0.6 million from the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase of the compensation to sales personnel of approximately $0.4 million with the growth of our transaction volume, including salaries, performance-based bonus, and other benefits with the increase of revenue.

General and Administrative Expenses.    Our general and administrative expenses increased by approximately 36.7% from approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the increase of the compensation to general and administrative personnel of approximately $0.1million.

Operating income.    As a result of the factors set out above, we had approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million operating income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other Income, net.    We recorded other income of $31,042 and $11,536 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was mainly due to the gains from assets disposal.

Net income.    As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Working Capital

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and restricted cash approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. We believe that our current cash, cash to be generated from our operations, and access to capital market will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We do not have any amounts committed to be provided by our related party. We are also not dependent upon future financing to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. In order to implement our growth strategies, we plan to expand our business and may need more capital through equity financing to expand our production and meet market demands.

We may, however, decide to enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments through additional capital and finance funding. We may need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business conditions or other developments, or if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investments, acquisitions, capital expenditures, or similar actions. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities.

The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Our ability to manage our working capital, including receivables and other assets and liabilities and accrued liabilities, may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Operating Activities

We recorded net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

We recorded net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The difference between our net income of approximately $0.04 million and the net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to (i) an adjustment of approximately $0.04 million in non-cash items, which mainly

Trend Information

Other than as described elsewhere in this prospectus, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments, or events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our revenue, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause our reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Table of Contents

Holding Company Structure

We are a holding company with no material operations of our own. As a holding company, we conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries, Hunter Dubai and Multiple Dubai. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by Hunter Dubai and Multiple Dubai. If they incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.

Inflation

Since inception, inflation in the UAE has not materially affected our results of operations. According to the UAE Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Authority, the year-over-year percent change in the consumer price index for December 2022 and December 2023 was an increase of 2.1% and a decrease of 2.5%, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we may be affected if the UAE experiences higher rates of inflation in the future.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business, which cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450-20, “Loss contingencies”, we will record accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

We are subject to legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome arising out of any such matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated business, financial position, cash flows, or results of operations taken as a whole. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to the concentration of credit risks consist of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and amounts due from related parties. The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. We deposit our cash and restricted cash with financial institutions located in jurisdictions where the subsidiaries are located. We believe that no significant credit risk exists as these financial institutions have high credit quality.

Accounts receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned through third-party consumers. We conduct credit evaluations of third-party customers and related parties, and generally do not require collateral or other security from its third-party customers and related parties. We establish an allowance for expected credit loss primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific third-party customers and related parties.

Concentration of customers and suppliers

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, one customer, customer D, individually accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue, contributing approximately 14.5% of the Group’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2023, two customers, A and B, each accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue. Together, these two customers contributed approximately 31.9% of the Group’s total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2022, one customer, customer A, individually accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue, contributing approximately 11.9% of the Group’s total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Key Drivers and Trends of Global Tourism and MICE Market

The key drivers and trends of the global tourism and MICE market include the following:

Innovation of digital technology in global tourism industry

Key digital technologies, such as online booking platforms, artificial intelligence, mobile applications, and virtual reality, are revolutionizing the behaviors and experiences of tourists. High-quality tour guiding is now tailored to the personalized service requirements of high-net-worth customers. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence and mobile applications facilitate real-time updates on travel plans, ensuring access to the best available service options. The integration of online booking systems and virtual reality allows specific customers to preview and select personalized services in advance, optimizing their overall travel experience. For MICE travel enterprises specifically, they will evolve and move towards enterprises of possessing industry-leading integration, service, technology, product, and consulting capabilities, forming a development model of deep and effective integration of supplier and customer resources. Therefore, innovation of digital technology helps enterprises in the tourism industry to stay competitive in the dynamic tourism market.

Vertical integration of the tourism industry resources

In response to the dynamic tourism market, industry players are increasingly adopting a customer-centric vertical integration strategy. This involves forging comprehensive partnerships with airlines, hotels, and other key entities in the tourism sector to create a seamless, integrated customer experience. By collaborating with airlines, tourism service providers can offer bundled packages, combining flights and hotels for convenient customer bookings. Partnerships with hotels and restaurants diversify dining options, catering to diverse preferences. Integrating online and offline channels using cutting-edge digital technologies enhances competitiveness, optimizes customer experiences, improves operational efficiency, fosters collaboration, and reduces costs. This transformative vertical integration approach is pivotal for tourism service providers to navigate the evolving industry landscape. The global shift towards personalized, tech-driven services underscores the importance of differentiation, revenue generation, and growth opportunities for industry practitioners. Through vertical integration, service providers can better fulfill customer needs, deliver high-quality experiences, and sustain a leading position in the competitive market, fostering long-term, sustainable development.

Integrated development of MICE activities with tourism-related industries

The engagement in MICE activities has prompted participants in the tourism industry to expand their services across the entire value chain. The close alignment of the tourism and exhibition sectors with various industries, including hotels, catering, entertainment, transportation, technology, and media, has catalyzed collaboration and innovation. For instance, tourism companies take charge of reception and organizational tasks, while media companies focus on pre- and post-conference promotion and interviews. This collaborative model offers customers a range of MICE activity options and heightened opportunities for promotion and communication. Additionally, stakeholders in the travel and tourism sectors are partnering with event organizers, such as the FIFA World Cup, establishing an integrated service progression from online and offline ticket sales to localized publicity and execution. This integration not only enhances the appeal and efficiency of exhibition activities but also creates additional avenues for global economic growth and cultural exchanges. In essence, this collaborative and integrated approach elevates the overall MICE tourism experience, contributing to the advancement and enrichment of the global tourism industry.

The UAE TOURISM AND MICE MARKET OVERVIEW

The UAE holds distinct advantages in the tourism and MICE market, driven by a combination of cultural richness, historical significance, natural landscapes, culinary offerings, and modern infrastructures. The UAE’s significance in business tourism is evident in emirates like Dubai and Abu Dhabi hosting international conferences, exhibitions, and events, fostering growth potential. Economic diversification efforts, infrastructure investments, and foreign investment incentives further contribute to the expansion of tourism and MICE activities in the UAE. The strategic geopolitical location, global connectivity, air travel hubs, maritime access points, and proximity to emerging markets position the UAE as a central hub for international travel, driving continuous growth in the travel and tourism industry.

The UAE ONE-STOP TOURISM AND MICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTION MARKET OVERVIEW

The UAE one-stop tourism and MICE management solution is a comprehensive service designed to cater to the diverse needs of tourists and event organizers, encompassing aspects such as event planning, ticketing, visa applications, ground services, accommodation, catering arrangements, and event execution. The service model generally consolidates three or more traditionally fragmented services. Providers of one-stop tourism and MICE management solutions in the UAE must obtain licenses and government recognition from relevant authorities to ensure compliance and deliver high-quality services. These essential licenses include operating licenses from the tourism bureau, approvals from the MICE industry association and relevant departments, and liability insurance to safeguard customers’ property. Providers’ employees are also required to possess professional qualifications, undergo necessary training, and adhere to relevant regulations. Government and industry recognition play a crucial role in enhancing the reputation of one-stop tourism and MICE management solution providers, fostering trust and confidence among customers. This trend has gained traction in the UAE, with an increasing number of tourists opting for this service model, thanks to its convenience, efficiency, and ability to meet diverse customer needs, thereby opening up more business opportunities and benefits for enterprises.

Key Drivers and Trends of the UAE One-stop Tourism and MICE Management Solution Market

The key drivers and trends of the UAE one-stop tourism and MICE management solutions industry include the following:

Issuance of regional incentives under economic diversification

Traditionally, the UAE’s economy predominantly relies on revenue generated from oil and gas resources, making it vulnerable to fluctuations in global commodity prices and geopolitical tensions. Therefore, diversifying away from heavy dependence on oil and gas has become a key economic strategy for the UAE, and the UAE governments aim to develop and nurture other sectors of economy including tourism and MICE management services to attract international businesses and investors. The UAE governments have implemented proactive incentives and investment measures including infrastructure development, regulation formulation, and promotional campaigns, providing strong impetus to the tourism and MICE management market.

For example, in order to strengthen its position as a prime tourist destination in the world, the UAE governments have approved the “UAE 2031 Tourism Strategy” in 2022, which aims to enhance infrastructure, improve the experience and create tourism environment of higher competitiveness. The UAE governments have announced 25 policy initiatives

focused on strengthening the unified national tourism identity; developing and diversifying specialized diverse products; increasing investments in all tourism sectors, etc. The “UAE 2031 Tourism Strategy” plans to boost the tourism sector’s GDP contribution at an increase of AED 27 billion annually and attract additional investments of AED 100 billion to the country. As a result, the UAE emirates are accelerating to become the center of finance, tourism, and business activities worldwide.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have received incentives amounting to $40,844 (AED 150,000) and $102,110 (AED 375,000) from the Dubai government in connection with two events we hosted with more than 500 attendees. We expect to continue receiving such incentives in the future as long as we continue to host events with 500 or more attendees and as long as the policy remains in place. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Construction of modern infrastructure and diversification of local cultures

With substantial support from the local government, the UAE has prioritized infrastructure development as a key strategy for economic diversification and global attractiveness. Heavy investments have been directed towards constructing luxurious hotels, modern airports, cultural attractions, and entertainment facilities to enhance the UAE’s appeal to international tourists and facilitate international trade and business activities. This extensive infrastructure development has laid a robust foundation for MICE management activities, meeting stringent requirements for hotel quality and luxury. With a total of 804 hotels in Dubai in 2022 and Dubai International Airport handling over 66 million passengers in the same year, the region’s flourishing infrastructure, including exhibition centers and transportation, provides significant growth opportunities for one-stop tourism and MICE management solution providers.

Additionally, the UAE’s rich cultural heritage and its status as the cradle of major Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, contribute to its global appeal. The Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the second-largest mosque in the Muslim world with a cost of $5.5 billion, stands as a testament to the UAE’s cultural significance. Moreover, the inauguration of the “Abrahamic Family House” in March 2023 marked a historic moment as the first inter-religious building complex in the GCC countries, integrating a synagogue, a Christian church, and an Islamic Mosque. This initiative enhances the UAE’s cultural and soft power influence, attracting billions of international visitors for various purposes, including tours, conferences, and events. The combination of modern infrastructure and diverse cultural offerings solidifies the UAE’s position as a multifaceted destination for both tourism and MICE activities.

Application of digitalized technology

The growing demand for high-end, customized tourism and MICE management services in the UAE has created development opportunities for one-stop tourism and MICE management solution providers. In order to ensure the high quality of services, leading enterprises have begun to exert digital technologies such as artificial intelligence to meet both high-quality and customized demands from visitors. For instance, with assistance of robots and artificial intelligence, the guides will receive instructions from control center to efficiently guide tourists to various locations such as buses, exhibitions, and conferences. By standardizing various scenarios, the enterprises use this scheme to improve the technical level of services, reduce the cost of services as well as staffing requirements, and this scheme has been endorsed by the Dubai Tourism Authority.

Global market expansion

As an increasing number of individuals and businesses seek cross-border opportunities for tourism and business, the UAE one-stop tourism and MICE management service solutions will actively expand into international markets to meet the growing global customer demands, which may involve establishing offices overseas, expanding partnerships, and providing outbound services. In the future, providers of one-stop tourism and MICE management solution in the UAE will continually adapt to new market demands, broaden their service offerings, and provide more comprehensive services for international client with high-quality and specialized standards.

Entry Barriers of the UAE One-stop Tourism and MICE Management Solution Market

The entry barriers of the UAE one-stop tourism and MICE management solution include the following:

Qualification barrier

Obtaining approval from local tourism bureaus and possessing the qualifications for entry-exit businesses are mandatory prerequisites for market entry and service provision. Moreover, some providers seek recognition and qualification from more than one or even all of tourism and MICE management authorities in the UAE to enhance their credibility. To ensure the successful progress of various overseas activities, solution providers must adhere to pertinent local laws and regulations, encompassing consumer rights, contracts, and privacy.

Talent barrier

Reception and tour personnel represent one of the most crucial assets for ensuring a comprehensive and flexible range of tourism and MICE management services. Their availability around the clock, coupled with the provision of contingency plans, is vital for the successful implementation of activities. Recognizing this, leading companies have instituted a comprehensive personnel training and qualification recognition system, along with the establishment of international planning teams and comprehensive logistics support teams.

Resource barrier

Leading one-stop tourism and MICE management solution providers must invest significant effort in establishing and maintaining a comprehensive and diverse global resource network to meet customer demands for high-quality services and maintain competitiveness in the industry. Solution providers need to establish extensive partnerships with hotels, airlines, restaurants, and other relevant suppliers to secure deals that offer a high level of cost-effectiveness and quality.

Capital barrier

Providing one-stop services necessitates a substantial capital investment to establish an extensive resource network, covering hotels and accommodations, transportation, exhibition venues, tour guides, and translators. These initial investments and ongoing operational costs present a significant challenge for new entrants to the market.

Product Barrier

One-stop tourism and MICE management solution providers are required to provide customized, personized, and unique product and service matrix to satisfy expectations and demands from different customers to form customers’ trust and brand loyalty. Depending on decades’ industry experience and long-term talent accumulation, leading solution providers hold high capability in product innovating, designing and planning, thus providing services of high quality and uniqueness.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The market for tourism and MICE management services in the UAE is highly fragmented, with tens of thousands of companies offering related discrete services. However, as of 2023, only around 10 to 20 companies have the capability to provide comprehensive one-stop solutions for tourism and MICE management.

BUSINESS

Overview

We, through our subsidiaries in the UAE, operate as a tour operator, travel agency, and provider of event planning and management services. As the tourism industry in the Middle East region is growing rapidly, our subsidiaries primarily provide two lines of services, namely, MICE management, a comprehensive coordination and organization of events, and one-stop tourism, a comprehensive travel product that is designed to provide tourists with all the necessary components of a trip in a single and convenient package, which typically include transportation, accommodations, meals, and guided tours or activities.

“MICE,” an acronym for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions, represents a specialized sector within the tourism industry focused on organizing and hosting business or academic events. Our subsidiaries assist their clients, mainly companies and industry associations, with the planning, organizing, and execution of various events including annual meetings, product launch conferences, product exhibitions, and staff gatherings in the UAE. They offer comprehensive services encompassing guest invitation, event website development, event applications, advertising, and overall event management and execution.

Our subsidiaries have demonstrated expertise in managing large-scale events. A notable example is the Hantec Group Photography Exhibition organized in November 2022, which saw a participation of around 1,000 individuals. As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have planned and executed approximately 800 events, each with over 100 participants, and around 40 events with more than 1,000 attendees. Over the years, they have provided MICE management services to over 300 clients.

Due to the essential role of travel arrangements in MICE events and the status of the Middle East region as a favored travel destination, a number of companies often choose countries in the Middle East region, especially the UAE, as their preferred venue for hosting their events. To cater to this need, our subsidiaries offer their clients comprehensive one-stop tourism services. These services include flight ticket bookings, airport pick-up, hotel reservations, restaurant bookings, rental of cars and buses, arranging tickets for tourist attractions, and providing tour guides. With this comprehensive approach, our subsidiaries’ clients are relieved from the hassle of navigating multiple websites for different services, such as flight ticket purchase, hotel bookings, and restaurant reservations, thereby saving time and streamlining the travel planning process. As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries are able to provide services for travel in the UAE, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman.

In addition to providing a wide range of tourism services, our subsidiaries also specialize in creating personalized travel plans for each group, such as organizing diverse tour experiences to suit specific interests, whether educational, business, or recreational.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following strengths contribute to our success and are the differentiating factors that set us apart from our peers:

A broad range of customers:    As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have provided event planning and organization services to over 300 clients. These clients represent a broad spectrum of sectors, encompassing consumer goods, technology, finance, education, and legal industries.

Large-scale event planning and organizational capabilities:    As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have a specialized team of 15 professionals committed to the MICE management business. Additionally, our subsidiaries work with a wide range of third-party service providers, such as event venue providers, translation providers, electronic equipment providers, event material producers, and advertising companies, to provide various services to the clients, which enables our subsidiaries to deliver a comprehensive array of services to their clients, ensuring the seamless execution of sizable events. Moreover, our subsidiaries create detailed execution plans for each large-scale event. These plans encompass various logistics such as airport pick-up, dining options, hotel accommodations, and recreational activities. As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have planned and executed approximately 800 events with over 100 participants, and approximately 40 events with more than 1,000 attendees. Notably, in November 2022, our subsidiaries organized the Hantec Group Photography Exhibition with a total of approximately 1,000 participants. Moreover, in 2023, our subsidiaries conducted a seminar for our client, Perfect (China) Co., Ltd., attracting approximately 1,300 participants.

Bespoke travel itinerary planning services:    Our subsidiaries specialize in creating personalized travel plans for each group, considering the clients’ specific travel goals, personal preferences, budget constraints, and the unique attributes of their chosen destination. Our subsidiaries’ approach to itinerary planning is detail-oriented, ensuring seamless travel experiences by coordinating airport transfers, carefully selected site visits and activities, curated dining experiences, and comfortable hotel stays.

Diversified selection of services:    As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries has worked with 15 hotels, such as Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, and Four Seasons, 14 restaurants, and five car rental companies to provide customers with a diverse range of experiences in accommodations, dining, and transportation.

Experienced management team:    Our company is supported by an experienced management team, whose expertise spans across management, business administration, and tourism management. For example, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer, Zhengang Tang, who obtained a master’s degree in business administration from Peking University, brings a wealth of corporate management experience, founded our subsidiary, Hunter Dubai, and has been the chief executive officer of the subsidiary since 2006. Jihong Chen, one of our directors, possesses over three decades of experience in the tourism industry, used to serve as the manager of China International Travel Service Limited, a tour operator and travel agency in China, and has been the general manager of Hunter Dubai since 2006. Jinbin Wang, the deputy general manager of Hunter Dubai, has academic background in tourism management, used to work in various hotels and has been the deputy general manager of Hunter Dubai since 2011. Mingtao Zhu, boasting over ten years of expertise in tourism and event planning, has been working for Multiple Dubai since 2011 and currently serves as the general manager of Multiple Dubai.

Challenges

Set forth below are the challenges our subsidiaries face in their business operations:

Customer concentration:    Although our subsidiaries serve a broad range of customers, our business to some extent depends on a few major customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, one customer, customer D, accounted for 14.5% of our total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, two customers, CTG MICE Service Company Limited and Shandong Weichai Import and Export Corporation, accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue, accounting for 20.8% and 11.1% of our total revenue. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, one customer, CTG MICE Service Company Limited, accounted for 11.9% of our total revenue. Dependence on these customers will expose our subsidiaries to the risks of substantial losses. If our subsidiaries fail to maintain relationships with these clients, and if they are unable to find replacement clients on commercially desirable terms or in a timely manner or at all, our business, our financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — High customer concentration exposes our subsidiaries to all of the risks faced by their major customers and may subject them to significant fluctuations or declines in revenue, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.”

Risk of misconduct and errors by employees:    Executing a large-scale event necessitates a significant number of employees, either from our subsidiaries or from third-party service providers. Consequently, our subsidiaries are exposed to the risk of misconduct and errors by both their own employees and those of third-party business partners they collaborate with. If any of their employees or employees of third-party business partners take, convert, or misuse funds or documents, or fail to follow rules and procedures when interacting with current or prospective clients, our subsidiaries could be liable for damages and subject to regulatory actions and penalties. Our subsidiaries could also be perceived to have facilitated or participated in the illegal misappropriation of funds or documents, or the failure to follow rules and procedures, and therefore be subject to civil or criminal liability. Any of these occurrences could result in the diminished ability to operate our business, potential liability to clients, inability to attract new clients, reputational damage, regulatory intervention, and financial harm, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Misconduct and errors by our subsidiaries’ employees and the employees of third parties our subsidiaries work with could harm our business and reputation.”

59

Table of Contents

Seasonality:    Our subsidiaries provide travel-related services, primarily in the Middle East, with a focus on Dubai. As such, they experience seasonal fluctuations in their business, particularly from June to August, when the extreme summer weather in Dubai leads to a decline in tourism and reduced demand for outdoor events and activities. Consequently, our revenue during these months is lower than the average of other quarters. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — The seasonality of the tourism industry in the UAE impacts our operating results.”

Dependence on third-party service providers:    To offer customers a diversified selection of services, our subsidiaries must maintain healthy relationships with a variety of third parties. If such third parties increase the prices of their services, fail to provide their services effectively, terminate their services or agreements, or discontinue their relationships with our subsidiaries, our subsidiaries could suffer service interruptions, reduced revenue, or increased costs, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Our subsidiaries use third-party services in connection with their business, and any disruption to these services could result in a disruption to their business, negative publicity, and a slowdown in the growth of their customer base, materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.”

Reliance on key management and personnel:    Our success depends in large part upon our ability to retain, attract, and motivate highly skilled management. The loss of and failure to replace key technical management and personnel could adversely affect multiple development efforts. Due to the intense competition for qualified employees, we may be required to, and have had to, increase the level of compensation paid to existing and new employees, which could materially increase our operating expenses. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — If we cannot retain, attract, and motivate key personnel, we may be unable to effectively implement our business plan.”

Growth Strategy

We intend to develop our business and strengthen brand loyalty by implementing the following strategies:

Extending our reach into additional regional markets:    Our strategy involves expanding into various European countries including Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and into Oceanian nations such as Australia and New Zealand. We aim to work with hotels, restaurants, and convention centers in these regions, expanding the scope of our subsidiaries’ one-stop tourism and MICE management services into these countries. Moreover, we plan to acquire local travel agencies and establish new subsidiaries in these regions. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified any potential target companies for such acquisitions.

Expanding our customer reach:    We intend to employ three key strategies to expand our customer reach: (i) launching an online booking platform to enhance the visibility of our subsidiaries’ services and acquire a greater number of individual customers; (ii) establishing five to ten travel advisors in each of three regions: Europe, Oceania, and Southeast Asia, tasked with the design, development, promotion, and sale of local travel offerings; and (iii) executing an integrated marketing approach, including disseminating promotional images and videos on social networks such as TikTok and Instagram, along with customer incentives like discounts on initial purchases and tiered loyalty programs.

Developing robotic solutions for enhanced tourism experience:    We plan to initiate a partnership with technology companies, supported financially by our subsidiaries, to develop tourism robots. The technological expertise and research personnel will be contributed by these technology companies. These robots are intended for use in settings such as airports, hotels, and tourist attractions. In airports and hotels, their services are expected to encompass language translation, navigational assistance, streamlined hotel check-ins, and aid in emergency evacuations. Within tourist destinations, they are projected to offer interactive features like motion demonstrations, voice-based interactions, and intelligent guided tours. Our initial investment in this venture is set at US$300,000. The project is presently in its prototype design phase, and we aim to deploy these tourism robots by the middle of 2025.

Business Model

Our revenue is generated from (i) MICE management service fees; (ii) one-stop tourism service fees; (iii) commissions for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation services; and (iv) revenue from other travel related services.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our MICE management services revenue accounted for approximately $6,334,756, representing 74.4% of our total revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our MICE management services revenue accounted for approximately $11,224,126 and $9,438,180, representing 65.6% and 83.3% of our total revenue, respectively.

Our Services

Our subsidiaries primarily have two lines of services, namely the MICE management services and one-stop tourism services. Whereas the MICE management sector organizes conferences and exhibitions in Dubai, the UAE, the one-stop tourism sector provides travel-related services for event participants and other travelers. These two lines of services are intertwined to stimulate our growth. In addition, our subsidiaries also offer transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation services, which are available to clients who do not engage in our MICE management business or use our one-stop tourism services.

MICE Management

Services

In response to the increasing popularity of Dubai as a prime location for various events, our subsidiaries specialize in providing customized and comprehensive planning and organizing services for a wide range of gatherings.

Our subsidiaries offer following event planning and organizing services:

•        Guest invitation: including design and production of paper or electronic conference invitation letters;

•        Event website development: including domain registration, webpage design, and server leasing;

•        Event application: providing assistance and representation for clients in event application processes with local tourism authorities, including preparation and submission of required documentation;

•        Event advertising: facilitating client’ advertisements in newspapers, on bridge billboards, large outdoor screens, airport corridors, the Burj Khalifa, and across radio and television platforms; and

•        Event management: including venue leasing, exhibition booth setup, transportation of exhibits, formulation of safety protocols and emergency evacuation plans, scheduling for conferences and exhibitions, guest reception; simultaneous interpretation, on-site recording and photography, and video editing and production.

Moreover, our subsidiaries craft comprehensive plans for each large-scale event, covering all logistical aspects such as airport transfers, dining arrangements, hotel accommodations, and leisure activities. They also dedicate themselves to assembling specialized staff teams for each segment of the event. These teams focus on catering to the specific needs of all attendees, including dietary preferences, organizing personalized birthday gifts for those celebrating during the event, and providing accommodations for pregnant women, infants, seniors, and people with disabilities, ensuring an inclusive and well-coordinated experience for every attendee.

In addition to participating in events, our MICE management business clients often travel around Dubai and its neighboring cities. Consequently, our subsidiaries also offer one-stop tourism services to accommodate these clients’ needs. See “Business — Services — One-stop Tourism.”

Event Types

Our subsidiaries provide assistance to their clients in the planning and organization of a diverse range of events.

Our subsidiaries specialize in planning and organizing corporate events, including annual conferences and training sessions. For instance, they were responsible for the Smartcom CEO Training Session, an event that took place from May 29 to June 9, 2023, attracting approximately 300 attendees.

In addition to conferences and training sessions, our subsidiaries help organize product launches and exhibitions for their clients. An example includes managing the TECON Product Launch Conference on December 7, 2022, an event that drew approximately 500 attendees.

Our subsidiaries also extend their expertise to industry forums, creating platforms for market leaders and academics to engage in idea exchange, analyze current market trends, and explore future prospects. For example, they managed the China-Arab Entrepreneurs Summit on May 17, 2023, which was attended by approximately 200 people. Additionally, they were responsible for the 2023 Middle East International Gas Technology Forum, held from June 23 to June 24, 2023, which also saw a similar attendance of around 200 participants.

Moreover, our subsidiaries plan and organize social events such as dinner parties, celebrations, and leisure activities as well. An instance of this was their management of United Imaging’s dinner party on June 21, 2021, which welcomed around 120 attendees. Furthermore, they orchestrated a large-scale event for the UAE Cheongsam Association, hosting their new year celebration party at Dubai Parks and Resorts on January 26, 2022, with a total attendance of approximately 800 guests.

MICE Management Team and Third-Party Service Providers

As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have 15 employees dedicated to the MICE management business, including three managers, two designers, and three event planners. An event typically requires the participation of about three to 15 employees depending on the size of the event.

In addition, our subsidiaries work with third parties to provide services to their clients. Third-party service providers our subsidiaries regularly work with include event venue providers, translation providers, electronic equipment providers, event material producers, and advertising companies. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our subsidiaries worked with nine and seven third-party service providers on 24 and 17 events, respectively. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our subsidiaries worked with 13 and 11 third-party service providers on 31 and 38 events, respectively.

To ensure that our subsidiaries only work with qualified third-party service providers, management formed a standard process to evaluate these companies and control the quality of their services, which include the following steps:

Selection.    Our subsidiaries select the third-party service providers for an event based on quality of products and services, prices, delivery time, customer services, and ability to fulfill contracts. Our subsidiaries request potential service providers interested in an event to submit an application form with copies of business registration certificates.

Inspection.    After a third-party service provider begins working with our subsidiaries on an event, our subsidiaries regularly inspect its performance during different stages of the event according to detailed specifications and timeline for products or services in their agreement with the service provider.

Review.    Our subsidiaries review the performance of each third-party service provider after an event, and rate them according to quantity and quality of products and services, timeliness, prices, and customer services. Depending on the performance of a service provider, our subsidiaries will increase, decrease, or even terminate their cooperation with it.

Our subsidiaries typically do not enter into long-term supply contracts with these third-party service providers, but only enter into event execution contracts for specific events after they finish the planning and design of the events. Our subsidiaries’ event execution contracts with third-party service providers specify quantity and specifications of products or services, unit price of each product or service, delivery time, and payment date, among other things.

One-stop Tourism

Acknowledging the Middle East’s attraction as a popular destination for tourists, these countries welcome a vast number of travelers. To meet the growing interest in exploring middle eastern destinations, our subsidiaries offer comprehensive tour operations and travel agency services tailored for our clients. Our subsidiaries’ coverage includes countries like the UAE, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Our subsidiaries provide a full range of services, including flight ticket bookings, airport pickup, hotel reservations, restaurant arrangements, cars and buses rentals, tickets for tourist attractions, and the provision of tour guides. Notably, our subsidiaries’ flight ticket booking service involves direct procurement of tickets from the International Air Transport Association, ensuring that the clients benefit from competitive pricing. Our subsidiaries can also assist with visa applications, encompassing services such as preparation of application documents, guidance in filling out the application forms, and accompanying applicants to the visa center for the processing of their visas.

In addition to providing a wide range of travel agency services, our subsidiaries also specialize in creating personalized travel plans for each group, considering the clients’ specific travel goals, personal preferences, budget constraints, and the unique attributes of their chosen destination. An example is our subsidiaries’ tailored itinerary for middle school educational tours, encompassing activities such as exploring the Dubai Museum, hands-on learning of sand bottle art in gold and spice souks, visits to Dubai’s educational institutions, and interactive sessions with local students. In a similar vein, for cross-border businessman, our subsidiaries have developed specialized travel routes that include visits to the China Chamber of Commerce in Dubai, offline wholesale markets across Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and vital local companies. Our subsidiaries have also arranged tailored itineraries for groups specializing in cosmetic surgery. These arrangements included visits to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Hospital, where they had the opportunity to meet and converse with local experts in Dubai’s cosmetic surgery field and observe surgeries. For clients enthusiastic about outdoor adventures, our subsidiaries crafted custom tours to Ras Al Khaimah. These tours include activities like rock climbing and zip-lining at Jebel Jais, along with hiking adventures in Wadi Showka.

Table of Contents

We generate revenue through the services of assistance in visa applications and airport pickup by charging the clients a service fee. In addition, our subsidiaries work with a variety of service providers, including hotels, restaurants, and transportation rental companies. In these arrangements, service providers extend a negotiated rate to our subsidiaries according to the service agreements. Our subsidiaries, in turn, bill their clients at a marginally higher rate. The fees paid by the clients are used to settle accounts with the service providers. The profit for our subsidiaries arises from the difference between the client’s payment and the contracted rate provided by the service providers.

Transportation Ticketing and Accommodation Reservation

Transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation services are commonly part of our subsidiaries’ MICE management and one-stop tourism offerings. Nevertheless, acknowledging the broader market demand, our subsidiaries also extend these services to clients outside of their MICE business and one-stop tourism clientele.

Our subsidiaries derive revenue by capturing the difference between the amount paid by clients and the contracted rates offered by service providers.

Clients

Clients of MICE Management

Clients of the MICE management service include industry associations and companies in a wide range of industries such as consumer goods, technology, finance, education, and law.

One client, CTG MICE Service Company Limited, accounted for 14.5% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Two clients, CTG MICE Service Company Limited and Shandong Weichai Import and Export Corporation, accounted for 20.8% and 11.1% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. One client, CTG MICE Service Company Limited, accounted for 11.9% of our total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Our repeat clients, among others, include CTG MICE Service Company Limited, Smartcom (Hongkong) Co., Ltd., and Mason Events Management Limited.

Our subsidiaries enter into service agreements either directly with our MICE management service clients or the travel agencies engaged by these clients. Although each service agreement is unique, they generally share key components. These include a description of the services to be provided, outlining the scope, nature, and quality expected. Additionally, specific payment terms are detailed, covering aspects such as the payment schedule, amounts, invoicing procedures, and any conditions or milestones that may affect payment.

Clients of One-stop Tourism

Clients of our one-stop tourism service include individuals, companies, and government departments. There was no client that accounted for more than 10% of our annual revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Our repeat clients, among others, include Hdec Middle East Co., Dmcc., Sepcoiii Electric Power Construction Co. Ltd., and BGP Geoexplorer Pte. Ltd.

Our subsidiaries enter into service agreements with our one-stop tourism service clients. Although each service agreement is unique, typical material terms include description of services and payment terms.

Clients of Transportation Ticketing and Accommodation Reservation

Our subsidiaries offer these services separately to clients who are not part of their MICE business or one-stop tourism customer base. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no client of this business that accounted for more than 10% of our annual revenue.

Suppliers

Suppliers of MICE Management

Our subsidiaries work with numerous hotels for event venue rentals and engage with a variety of third-party service providers to offer diverse services to their clients. See “Business — Services — MICE Management — MICE Management Team and Third-Party Service Providers,” and “Business — Services — MICE Management — Venues.” For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no hotel or third-party service provider that accounted for more than 10% of our subsidiaries’ overall purchases.

Suppliers of One-stop Tourism

As of the date of this prospectus, to provide their one-stop tourism services, our subsidiaries have worked with 15 hotels, including well-known brands like Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, and Four Seasons. Additionally, our subsidiaries also work with 14 restaurants, five car rental companies, and four shops, providing their customers with a broad spectrum of experiences in dining, transportation, and shopping.

We consider our subsidiaries’ major suppliers to be those suppliers that accounted for more than 10% of our subsidiaries’ overall purchases. The International Air Transport Association accounted for 24.9%, 24.1% and 15.1% of our subsidiaries’ overall purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Our subsidiaries enter into service agreements with their suppliers. Although each service agreement is unique, typical material terms include description of services, and payment terms.

Suppliers of Transportation Ticketing and Accommodation Reservation

The suppliers for this business are part of the supplier network for our one-stop tourism business. See “Business — Suppliers — Suppliers of One-stop Tourism.”

Competition

The tourism and MICE management industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new service introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our subsidiaries compete with service providers of tourism and MICE management. Some of these competitors are large, well-capitalized companies with greater market share, resources, and experience than our subsidiaries have. Consequently, they are able to spend more on service development, marketing, sales, and other product initiatives than our subsidiaries can.

Our subsidiaries’ major competitors include Arabian Adventures LLC, Desert Gate Tourism LLC, and ADNEC Services LLC. Our subsidiaries compete with such competitors particularly in the area of one-stop tourism service and MICE management.

Although there can be no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to continue to compete successfully in the future, we believe that our subsidiaries can compete successfully with these companies by offering services of better quality to numerous customers. This competitive edge is bolstered by our subsidiaries’ broad range of customers, large-scale event planning and organizational capabilities, bespoke travel itinerary planning service, diversified selection of services, and an experienced management team. See “Business — Competitive Strengths.”

Marketing

As of the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have a five-person marketing team. The marketing team actively employs social media channels, such as TikTok and Instagram, as key platforms for promoting our subsidiaries’ services. This strategy involves posting a variety of content, including photographs and videos, from conferences and exhibitions our subsidiaries have previously orchestrated. Through these posts, our subsidiaries aim to provide a vivid showcase of their expertise in event management, highlighting the quality, creativity, and scale of the events they have successfully delivered. This approach not only demonstrates their capacity for organizing and managing large-scale events but also serves to engage and attract potential clients by visually illustrating the breadth and impact of our subsidiaries’ services.

Seasonality

Our subsidiaries experience a seasonality in their business, especially from June to August, due to the extreme summer weather in Dubai, which leads to a decline in tourism and a reduced demand for outdoor events and activities. Consequently, our revenue during these months falls below the average of other quarters.

Table of Contents

Our subsidiaries’ success depends on their ability to attract, motivate, train, and retain qualified personnel. We believe our subsidiaries offer their employees competitive compensation packages and an environment that encourages self-development and, as a result, have generally been able to attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain a stable core management team.

We believe our subsidiaries maintain a good working relationship with their employees, and our subsidiaries have not experienced any material labor disputes. None of their employees are represented by a labor union. The reduction in our workforce is attributable to outsourcing tasks to business partners and enhancing the versatility of our employees through training, enabling them to handle multiple roles.

Insurance

Hunter Dubai is insured for legal liability concerning accidental bodily injury to any third party, as well as accidental damage to the property of any third party.

Hunter Dubai has purchased medical insurance for its 18 employees and one of their family members, and four employees from Multiple Dubai.

Multiple Dubai has purchased medical insurance for its three employees and two of their family members.

Legal Proceeding

As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor our subsidiaries are a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. From time to time, our subsidiaries may be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our subsidiaries’ resources, including management’s time and attention.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties to us, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the skill they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care, and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. We have the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached. A shareholder may in certain circumstances have the right to seek damages in our name if a duty owed by our directors is breached.

Our Board of Directors has all the powers necessary for managing, directing, and supervising our business affairs. The functions and powers of our Board of Directors include, among others, (i) convening shareholders’ annual and extraordinary general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings, (ii) declaring dividends, (iii) appointing officers and determining their terms of offices and remuneration, and (iv) approving the transfer of shares of our Company, including the registering of such shares in our register of members.

We will adopt a code of ethics, which will be applicable to all of our directors, executive officers and employees prior to the effectiveness of our registration statement on Form F-1, of which this prospectus is a part. We will make our code of ethics publicly available on our website.

Terms of Directors and Officers

Our officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board.

An appointment of a director may be on terms that the director shall automatically retire from office (unless he has sooner vacated office) at the next or a subsequent annual general meeting or upon any specified event or after any specified period in a written agreement between the Company and the director, if any; but no such term shall be implied in the absence of express provision. A director may be removed from office by ordinary resolution of our shareholders, notwithstanding anything in our memorandum and articles of association or in any agreement between the Company and such director (but without prejudice to any claim for damages under such agreement).

The office of director shall be vacated, if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) dies or is found by to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to us; (iv) without special leave of absence from the Board, is absent from meeting of the Board for three consecutive meetings and the Board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our memorandum and articles of association.

Interested Transactions

A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. A general notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he or she is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect to a contract or transaction in which he/she has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction. Subject to applicable Nasdaq rules, a director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration.

Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements

We will enter into employment agreements with our executive officers. Each of our executive officers is employed for a continuous term unless either we or the executive officer gives prior notice to terminate such employment, or for a specified time period, or for a specified time period which will be renewed automatically unless a notice of non-renewal is given. We may terminate an executive officer’s employment for cause, at any time, without notice or remuneration, including but not limited to as a result of the executive officer’s commitments of any serious or persistent breach or non-observance of the terms and conditions of the employment, conviction of a criminal offence, fraud or dishonesty, habitual neglect of his or her duties, material misconduct being inconsistent with the due and faithful discharge of the executive officer’s material duties or material breach of internal procedures or regulations which causes damage to the Company. An executive officer may terminate his or her employment at any time with prior written notice.

We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against all liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our company to the fullest extent permitted by law with certain limited exceptions.

See “Principal Shareholders.” As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). However, even if we are deemed a “controlled company,” we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL AND GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

We were incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and our affairs are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, which we refer to as the “Companies Act” below, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 399,966,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0000001 each and 100,033,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0000001 each. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 1,650,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,350,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. All of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares prior to the completion of the Offering will be fully paid.

The following description of our share capital and provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles are summaries and are qualified by reference to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles as in effect. Copies of these documents are filed herewith as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is $50,000 divided into 399,966,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,033,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. All of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares prior to the completion of the Offering are fully paid. The following are summaries of material provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles as in effect and the Companies Act insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Ordinary Shares.

General

All of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form. We may not issue Ordinary Shares to bearers. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and transfer their Ordinary Shares.

Dividends

Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Ordinary Shares, the directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on Ordinary Shares in issue. In addition, subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Ordinary Shares, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by our directors.

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, dividends may be declared and paid out of our profits or out of the share premium account. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of the funds of our Company lawfully available therefore. No dividend may be paid unless, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, we shall be able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Voting Rights

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairperson of the meeting or any shareholder holding not less than 10% of the votes attaching to the shares present in person or by proxy. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Ordinary Share, at our general meetings, (i) on a show of hands, every shareholder present in person or by proxy at shall have one vote, and (ii) on a poll, every shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one (1) vote for each Class A Ordinary Share and fifteen (15) votes for each Class B Ordinary Share of such shareholder is the holder.

General meetings of shareholders

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide that we may (but shall not obliged to) in each calendar year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we will specify the

84

Table of Contents

meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting will be held at such time and place as may be determined by its directors. We, however, will hold an annual shareholders’ meeting during each fiscal year, as required by the Listing Rules at the Nasdaq. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. The chairperson or the directors (acting by a resolution of the Board) may call general meetings, and they shall on a shareholders’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. A shareholders’ requisition is a requisition of members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition Ordinary Shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third (1/3) of all votes attaching to all the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares that as at the date of the deposit carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company. At least 10 calendar days’ notice shall be given for any general meeting. Every notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given or deemed to be given and of the day for which it is given and shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in our articles of association has been given and whether or not the provisions of our articles of association regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed: (a) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all the shareholders (or their proxies) entitled to attend and vote thereat; and (b) in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the shareholders having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, present at the meeting or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, represented by its duly authorized representative or proxy.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a general meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives at a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representatives at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.

Conversion Rights

Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof. In no event shall Class A Ordinary Shares be convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the restrictions in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our Board of Directors in their absolute discretion.

Our Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our Board of Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares unless:

•        the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our Board of Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

•        the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

•        the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

•        in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

•        a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as our Board of Directors may from time to time require, is paid to us in respect thereof.

85

Table of Contents

If our directors refuse to register a transfer of any Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, they shall, within three calendar months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required by the Nasdaq rules, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our Board of Directors may from time to time determine, provided always, that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended, nor the register closed for more than thirty calendar days in any year.

Winding Up

If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide amongst the shareholders in species or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and, subject to our articles of association, determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the shareholders shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them. If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, we may issue shares on terms that such shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed, at our option or at the option of the holders thereof, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such shares, by our Board of Directors or by a special resolution of our shareholders. We may also purchase our own shares (including any redeemable shares) on such terms and in such manner and terms as have been approved by the Board of Directors or by the shareholders by ordinary resolution or are otherwise authorized by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles. Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if the company is able to, immediately following the date on which the payment is proposed to be made, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares issued and outstanding other than shares held as treasury shares, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, we may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

Variations of Rights of Shares

Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different classes, the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be materially and adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially and adversely varied by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any shares of any class by the Company. The rights of the holders of Shares shall not be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares have no general right under the Companies Act to inspect or obtain our register of members or our corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association, the register of mortgages and charges and any special resolutions passed by shareholders). Under Cayman

86

Table of Contents

Islands law, the names of our current directors can be obtained from a search conducted at the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Issuance of Additional Shares

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles authorize our Board of Directors to issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares from time to time as our Board of Directors shall determine and without the approval of the shareholders, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles also authorize our Board of Directors may issue from time to time, out of the authorized share capital of the Company (other than the authorized but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares), series of preferred shares in their absolute discretion and without approval of the shareholders; provided, however, before any preferred shares of any such series are issued, the directors may by resolution of directors determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

(a)     the designation of such series, the number of preferred shares to constitute such series and the subscription price thereof if different from the par value thereof;

(b)    whether the preferred shares of such series shall have voting rights, in addition to any voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights, which may be general or limited;

(c)     the dividends, if any, payable on such series, whether any such dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from what dates, the conditions and dates upon which such dividends shall be payable, and the preference or relation which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any shares of any other class or any other series of shares;

(d)    whether the preferred shares of such series shall be subject to redemption by the Company, and, if so, the times, prices and other conditions of such redemption;

(e)     whether the preferred shares of such series shall have any rights to receive any part of the assets available for distribution amongst the shareholders upon the liquidation of the Company, and, if so, the terms of such liquidation preference, and the relation which such liquidation preference shall bear to the entitlements of the holders of shares of any other class or any other series of shares;

(f)     whether the preferred shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund and, if so, the extent to and manner in which any such retirement or sinking fund shall be applied to the purchase or redemption of the preferred shares of such series for retirement or other corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof;

(g)    whether the preferred shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or any other series of preferred shares or any other securities and, if so, the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjusting the same, and any other terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;

(h)    the limitations and restrictions, if any, to be effective while any preferred shares of such series are outstanding upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and upon the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company of, the existing shares or shares of any other class of shares or any other series of preferred shares;

(i)     the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the creation of indebtedness of the Company or upon the issue of any additional shares, including additional shares of such series or of any other class of shares or any other series of preferred shares; and

(j)     any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereof.

87

Table of Contents

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our Board of Directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to determine the terms and rights of such preferred shares without approval of our shareholders.

Exempted Company

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

•        does not have to file an annual return of our shareholders with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands;

•        is not required to open our register of members for inspection;

•        does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

•        may issue shares with no par value;

•        may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are given for a period of up to 30 years);

•        may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

•        may register as a limited duration company; and

•        may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder’s shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England and Wales but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Cayman Companies Act and the current Companies Act of the UK. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (i) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property, and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (ii) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over

88

Table of Contents

a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is affected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman Islands constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provide the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act. The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

Reconstructions and amalgamations may be approved by (i) 75% in value of the members or class of members or (ii) a majority in number representing 75% in value of the creditors or class of creditors, in each case depending on the circumstances, as are present at a meeting called for such purpose and thereafter sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. Whilst a dissenting member has the right to express to the court his view that the transaction for which approval is being sought would not provide the members with a fair value for their shares, it can be expected that the court would approve the transaction if it is satisfied that (i) the company is not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its corporate authority and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with, (ii) the members have been fairly represented at the meeting in question, (iii) the transaction is such as a businessman would reasonably approve and (iv) the transaction is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provisions of the Companies Act or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority”. If the transaction is approved, no dissenting member would have any rights comparable to the appraisal rights (namely the right to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of his shares), which may be available to dissenting members of corporations in other jurisdictions.

The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholders upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of not less than 90% in value of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so accepted unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected

89

Table of Contents

to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

•        a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

•        the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be affected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

•        those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide that every director (including any alternate director), secretary, assistant secretary, or other officer for the time being and from time to time of the Company (but not including the Company’s auditors) and the personal representatives of the same (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified and secured harmless against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such Indemnified Person, other than by reason of such Indemnified Person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association

Some provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our Board of Directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to determine the terms and rights of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company for a proper purpose.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

90

Table of Contents

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

Shareholder Action by Written Consent

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide that our shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors, or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide that the chairman or the directors (acting by a resolution of the board) may call general meetings, and they shall on a shareholders’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. A shareholders’ requisition is a requisition of members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third (1/3) of all votes attaching to all the issued and outstanding shares that as at the date of the deposit carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

Cumulative Voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands, but our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, a director may be removed from office by ordinary resolution, notwithstanding anything in our articles of association or in any agreement between the Company and such director (but without prejudice to any claim for damages under such agreement).

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested

91

Table of Contents

shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, the directors of our company are required to comply with fiduciary duties which they owe to our company under Cayman Islands laws, including the duty to ensure that, in their opinion such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Restructuring

A company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company:

(a)     is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts; and

(b)     intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring.

The Grand Court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer upon hearing of such petition, with such powers and to carry out such functions as the court may order. At any time (i) after the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer but before an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer has been made, and (ii) when an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer is made, until such order has been discharged, no suit, action or other proceedings (other than criminal proceedings) shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company, no resolution to wind up the company shall be passed, and no winding up petition may be presented against the company, except with the leave of the court. However, notwithstanding the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer or the appointment of a restructuring officer, a creditor who has security over the whole or part of the assets of the company is entitled to enforce the security without the leave of the court and without reference to the restructuring officer appointed.

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under the Companies Act, a company may be wound up (a) compulsorily by order of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands; (b) voluntarily (i) by virtue of a special resolution; (ii) because the period, if any, fixed for the duration of the company by its articles of association has expired; or (iii) because the event, if any, has occurred, on the occurrence of which its articles of association provide that the company shall be wound up; or (c) under the supervision of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, if the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide amongst the shareholders in species or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and, subject to our articles of association, determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders.

Table of Contents

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different classes the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be materially and adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of at least two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

There are no limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Directors’ Power to Issue Shares

Subject to applicable law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, all shares for the time being unissued shall be under the control of the directors who may, in their absolute discretion and without the approval of the shareholders, cause the Company to:

(a)     issue, allot, or otherwise dispose of shares (including, without limitation, preferred shares) (whether in certificated form or non-certificated form) to such persons, in such manner, at such times and on such terms and having such rights and being subject to such restrictions as they may from time to time determine;

(b)    grant rights over shares or other securities to be issued in one or more classes or series as they deem necessary or appropriate and determine the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and other rights attaching to such shares or securities, including dividend rights, voting rights, conversion rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the powers, preferences, privileges and rights associated with the then issued and outstanding shares, at such times and on such other terms as they think proper; and

(c)     grant options with respect to shares and issue warrants or similar instruments with respect thereto, at such times and on such terms and having such rights and being subject to such restrictions as they may from time to time determine.

Share Reclassification in September 2024

On September 30, 2024, our directors and shareholders approved the reclassification of our issued and outstanding share capital. Each of our issued and unissued Ordinary Shares, par value of $0.0001 per share, was subdivided into 1,000 shares, par value of $0.0000001 per share. Upon the share subdivision, all of our existing shareholders surrendered, for nil consideration, the additional Ordinary Shares they hold as a result of the subdivision and continued holding the Ordinary Shares registered in their names before the subdivision. After such surrender of Ordinary Shares, all Ordinary Shares held by HMDA Limited, one of our shareholders, were re-designated as Class B Ordinary Shares, and all other issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares were re-designated as Class A Ordinary Shares. Following the reclassification, our authorized share capital became $50,000 divided into 399,966,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 100,033,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, and we have 16,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 33,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon the completion of this Offering, all of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this Offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares, and while we plan to apply to list our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained after this Offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Further, since a large number of our Class A Ordinary Shares will not be available for sale shortly after this Class A Offering because of the contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market after these restrictions lapse, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed, for a period of six (6) months from the effective date of registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank or (iv) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Class A Ordinary Shares or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A Ordinary Shares or such other securities of the Company.

Furthermore, each of our executive officers, directors and shareholders owning 5% or more of our Class A Ordinary Shares have agreed, without the prior written consent of the Representative, for a period of six (6) months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and subject to certain exceptions, (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Class A Ordinary Shares or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, except to the Representative pursuant to this. Other than this Offering, we are not aware of any plans by any significant shareholders to dispose of significant numbers of our Class A Ordinary Shares. However, one or more existing shareholders or owners of securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for our Class A Ordinary Shares may dispose of significant numbers of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the future. We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares, or the availability of Class A Ordinary Shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Rule 144

All of our Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding prior to this Offering are “restricted shares” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. Under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned our Class A Ordinary Shares for at least six months is generally entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain additional restrictions.

96

Table of Contents

Subject to the Lock-Up Agreements, our affiliates may sell within any three-month period a number of Class A Ordinary Shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

•        1% of the then outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares of the same class, which will equal approximately            Ordinary Shares immediately after this Offering assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised and            Class A Ordinary Shares assuming the over-allotment option is exercised in full; or

•        the average weekly trading volume of our Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

Affiliates who sell restricted securities under Rule 144 may not solicit orders or arrange for the solicitation of orders, and they are also subject to notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Persons who are not our affiliates are only subject to one of these additional restrictions, the requirement of the availability of current public information about us, and this additional restriction does not apply if they have beneficially owned our restricted shares for more than one year.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchases our Class A Ordinary Shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement relating to compensation is eligible to resell such Class A Ordinary Shares 90 days after we became a reporting company under the Exchange Act in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. Securities issued under Rule 701 will be deemed “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and may not be freely traded without registration or exemption thereunder.

Regulation S

Regulation S provides generally that sales made in offshore transactions are not subject to the registration or prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

TAXATION

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax considerations of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other taxing jurisdiction.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains, or appreciation, and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties that may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is a party to a double tax treaty entered with the United Kingdom in 2010 but is not otherwise party to any double-tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our Company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

Our company has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, may obtain an undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands as to tax concessions under the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised). In accordance with the provision of Section 6 of The Tax Concessions Act (As Revised), the Company may obtain an undertaking from the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands:

•        that no law that is hereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains, or appreciations shall apply to our company or its operations; and

•        in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains, or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:

•        on or in respect of the shares, debentures, or other obligations of our company; or

•        by way of the withholding, in whole or part, of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised).

United Arab Emirates Taxation Considerations

It is the responsibility of all persons interested in purchasing the Class A Ordinary Shares to inform themselves as to any tax consequences from their investing in the Company and the Company’s operations or management, as well as any foreign exchange or other fiscal or legal restrictions, which are relevant to their particular circumstances in connection with the acquisition, holding, or disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares.

Investors should therefore seek their own separate tax advice in relation to their holding of Class A Ordinary Shares, we do not accept any responsibility for the taxation consequences of any investment by an investor.

On January 16, 2023, the UAE’s Ministry of Finance introduced a nine percent. Federal corporate tax regime for the first time in the UAE to be applied on the adjusted accounting net profits of a business above AED375,000 (US$102,110), which came into effect on June 1, 2023. The subsidiaries are not currently subject to corporate income tax in the UAE as their net profits do not currently meet the AED375,000 (US$102,110) threshold.

There are no transfer taxes in the UAE on the purchase of Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the purchase of Class A Ordinary Shares should not result in any UAE tax liabilities for shareholders who are individuals or corporations tax residents in the UAE.

98

Table of Contents

Non-UAE tax residents, or dual tax residents, individuals, and corporations, may be subject to taxation in jurisdictions outside the UAE with respect to the ownership of, or income derived in connection with, the Class A Ordinary Shares based on local tax regulations.

Based on the same principles as outlined above, UAE resident shareholders who are not subject to tax in the UAE or jurisdictions outside the UAE (both corporate and individual), should not currently be taxed on the receipt of dividend income and gains on the future sale of the Shares.

Shareholders who are subject to tax in the UAE by virtue of being a tax resident in jurisdictions outside the UAE, as well as shareholders tax resident in the UAE but also subject to tax in jurisdictions outside the UAE (both corporate and individual), should consult their own tax advisers as to the taxation of dividend income and gains on the future sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares under the relevant applicable local laws in those jurisdictions. There is currently no withholding tax in the UAE and as such, any dividend payments made by the Company should be made free of any UAE or Abu Dhabi withholding tax.

The UAE has adopted an excise tax, which was effective on October 1, 2017, and implemented a VAT, which was effective on January 1, 2018. On August 27, 2017, Federal Decree-Law No (8) of 2017 on Value Added Tax (“VAT Law”) was published on the website of the Federal Tax Authority. The executive regulations of the VAT Law were issued on November 28, 2017, under the Cabinet Decision No. 52 of Federal Decree Law No. (8) of 2017.

The executive regulations provide more details about the services that are subject to VAT and which particular services are zero-rated or exempt. The executive regulations of the VAT Law outline the conditions and parameters of such VAT treatment. The GCC VAT Framework Agreement, which is a country-level agreement between all the GCC countries, sets out broad principles that should be followed by all the GCC countries in their VAT laws while providing individual member states some discretion to adopt a different VAT treatment with respect of certain matters. Each GCC country will enact its own domestic VAT legislation based on the underlying principles in this common framework.

Article 42 of the executive regulations outlines the scope of financial services classified as exempt and, on this basis, no VAT would be applied on any transfer of Ordinary Shares. However, it should be noted that fees relating to the transfer of ownership of Ordinary Shares would be standard rated at 5%.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a brief summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This brief summary applies only to U.S. Holders that hold our Class A Ordinary Shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment) and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This summary is based on U.S. tax laws in effect as of the date of this prospectus, on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed as of the date of this prospectus, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below. No ruling has been sought from the IRS with respect to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. Moreover, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, backup withholding, and alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local, and non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership and disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

•        financial institutions or financial services entities;

•        underwriters;

•        insurance companies;

•        pension plans;

•        cooperatives;

•        regulated investment companies;

•        real estate investment trusts;

•        grantor trusts;

•        broker-dealers;

•        traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

•        governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•        certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;

•        tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);

•        persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

•        persons holding stock as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;

•        persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•        passive foreign investment companies;

•        controlled foreign corporations;

•        persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our voting stock; or

•        partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding Class A Ordinary Shares through such entities.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAXATION TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S., OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Class A Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•        a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•        an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

•        a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions, or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Class A Ordinary Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Class A Ordinary Shares and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Class A Ordinary Shares

As discussed under “Dividend Policy” above, we do not anticipate that any dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Subject to the “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income, in accordance with such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, as dividends the amount of any distribution paid on the Class A Ordinary Shares to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles). Such dividends paid by us will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder as dividend income and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect

100

Table of Contents

of dividends received from other domestic corporations. Dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be “qualified dividend income,” which is taxed at the lower capital gains rate, provided that our Class A Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding periods and other requirements. In this regard, shares generally are considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on Nasdaq, as our Class A Ordinary Shares are expected to be.

Distributions in excess of such earnings and profits generally will be applied against and reduce the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Class A Ordinary Shares (but not below zero) and, to the extent in excess of such basis, will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such Class A Ordinary Shares. In the event that we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles, a U.S. Holder should expect that all cash distributions will be reported as dividends for United States federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any cash dividends paid with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Dividends will generally be treated as income from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit not in excess of any applicable treaty rate in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on our Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and their outcome depends in large part on the U.S. Holder’s individual facts and circumstances. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Taxation of Sale or Other Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Class A Ordinary Shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long term if the Class A Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are currently eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) Rules Consequences

A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and cash equivalents are categorized as passive assets and the company’s goodwill and other unbooked intangibles are taken into account as non-passive assets. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

Based on the expected composition (and estimated values) of the assets and the nature of the income of us and our subsidiaries, we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year. However, no assurance can be given as to whether we may be or may become a PFIC, as this is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. Furthermore, the composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this Offering. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increase relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming classified as a PFIC may substantially increase. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our

101

Table of Contents

classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets, each of which may result in our becoming a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. If we were classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder held our Class A Ordinary Shares, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder held our Class A Ordinary Shares even if we cease to be a PFIC in subsequent years, unless certain elections are made.

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Class A Ordinary Shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares. Under these rules,

•        the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares;

•        the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be taxable as ordinary income;

•        the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year; and

•        an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, of the U.S. Holder.

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Class A Ordinary Shares, or if any of our subsidiaries is also a PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of any lower-tier PFICs for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock, provided that such stock is “regularly traded” within the meaning of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. If our Class A Ordinary Shares qualify as being regularly traded, and an election is made, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Class A Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of such Class A Ordinary Shares held at the end of the taxable year, but such deduction will only be allowed to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of our Class A Ordinary Shares in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but such loss will only be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Furthermore, as an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder that owns stock of a PFIC generally may make a “qualified electing fund” election regarding such corporation to elect out of the PFIC rules described above regarding excess distributions and recognized gains. However, we do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

102

Table of Contents

If a U.S. Holder owns our Class A Ordinary Shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder must generally file an annual Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 and provide such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department, whether or not a mark-to-market election is or has been made. If we are or become a PFIC, you should consult your tax advisor regarding any reporting requirements that may apply to you.

IRC Section 1014(a) provides for a step-up in basis to the fair market value for our Class A Ordinary Shares when inherited from a decedent that was previously a holder of our Class A Ordinary Shares. However, if we are determined to be a PFIC and a decedent that was a U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) our Class A Ordinary Shares, or a mark-to-market election and ownership of those Class A Ordinary Shares are inherited, a special provision in IRC Section 1291(e) provides that the new U.S. Holder’s basis should be reduced by an amount equal to the Section 1014 basis minus the decedent’s adjusted basis just before death. As such if we are determined to be a PFIC at any time prior to a decedent’s passing, the PFIC rules will cause any new U.S. Holder that inherits our Class A Ordinary Shares from a U.S. Holder to not get a step-up in basis under Section 1014 and instead will receive a carryover basis in those Class A Ordinary Shares.

You should consult your tax advisors regarding how the PFIC rules apply to your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the Internal Revenue Service relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-United States corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000 (or a higher dollar amount prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in custodial accounts maintained with a U.S. financial institution). These rules also impose penalties if a U.S. Holder is required to submit such information to the Internal Revenue Service and fails to do so.

In addition, dividend payments with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to additional information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on IRS Form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on IRS Form W-9. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. However, transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

The underwriters are offering the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to their acceptance of the Class A Ordinary Shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as absence of any material adverse change in our business or in the financial markets, the receipt by the underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions and comfort letters from us, our legal counsels and our independent auditors. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus if any such Class A Ordinary Shares are taken. However, the Representative is not required to take or pay for the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option described below.

The underwriters will offer the Class A Ordinary Shares to the public at the Offering Price and to selected dealers at the Offering Price less a selling concession not in excess of $             per Class A Ordinary Share. After this offering, the Offering Price, concession, and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the underwriters. No change in those terms will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The Class A Ordinary Shares are offered by the underwriters as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part. The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

We have agreed to grant to the underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable within forty-five (45) days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an additional              Class A Ordinary Shares (fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the Offering, excluding Class A Ordinary Shares subject to this option) at the Offering Price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discounts. The option may be exercised in whole or in part, and may be exercised more than once, during the 45-day option period. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this Offering.

____________

(1)      The Offering Price is assumed as US$4.50, which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

(2)      We have agreed to pay the Representative the underwriting discount of seven percent (7%) of the gross proceeds in this Offering.

(3)      The total estimated expenses related to this Offering are set forth in the section entitled “Expenses of This Offering” on page 114.

We agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance in the amount equal to one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of this Offering (including proceeds from the sale of over-allotment shares, if any). We have also agreed to reimburse the Representative up to a maximum of $250,000 for out-of-pocket accountable expenses (including, but not limited to, travel, due diligence expenses, reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel, roadshow and background check on the Company’s principals). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the offering is terminated, we will reimburse the Representative for accountable out-of-pocket expenses related to this offering, up to $250,000.

We have agreed to pay the Representative an advanced expense of $50,000 upon February 3, 2025, the date of the letter of engagement entered into by and among AC Sunshine, Univest, and us (the “Engagement Letter”). Any advances will be returned to us to the extent the Representative’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

We estimate that the total expenses of the Offering payable by us, excluding the underwriting discounts and non-accountable expense allowance, will be approximately $        .

Representative’s Warrants

In addition, we have agreed to grant the Representative non-redeemable warrants to purchase an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the Offering (including any Class A Ordinary Shares sold upon exercise of the over-allotment option) (the “Representative’s Warrants”), for nominal consideration of $0.01 each, which will be exercisable cashless at any time, subject to lock up for 180 days from the date of issuance in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, and will expire five (5) years from the commencement of sales of this Offering. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable at a price equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Offering Price of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this Offering. We will register the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants and will file all necessary undertakings in connection therewith. The Representative’s Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of this Offering (in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110), except that they may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any member participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, and that all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the remainder of the time period. The Representative’s Warrants may be exercised as to all or a lesser number of Class A Ordinary Shares and will provide for cashless exercise. The Representative’s Warrants contain a provision for one demand registration, at the expense of the Company, and one additional demand right at the expense of the holder of the Representative’s Warrants. The demand registration rights may be exercised at any time following the issuance of the Representative’s Warrants but no later than five (5) years following the commencement of sales of the Offering in compliance with FINRA rule 5110(g)(8)(C). The Representative’s Warrants also contain unlimited “piggyback” registration rights at our expense. The piggyback registration rights may be exercised at any time following the issuance of the Representative’s Warrants but no later than seven (7) years following the commencement of sales of the Offering in compliance with FINRA rule 5110(g)(8)(D).

105

Table of Contents

We will bear all fees and expenses related to registering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants, other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may also be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, during such time that the Representative’s Warrants are outstanding, we shall not merge, reorganize, or take any action which would terminate the Representative’s Warrants, without first making adequate provisions for the Representative’s Warrants.

Tail Financing

We have agreed that, for a period of 12 months following the termination or expiration of the Engagement Letter, if there is a completion of a sale of equity, debt, and/or equity derivative instruments (each a “Tail Financing”) to an investor whom either AC Sunshine or Univest had introduced to us from February 3, 2025 to the termination or expiration of our engagement with them (the “Engagement Period”), until an early termination or the closing of this Offering, AC Sunshine and Univest will be entitled to compensation for such Tail Financing with the investors they introduced to us respectively, which includes a discount or commission equal to 7% of the proceeds of such Tail Financing. Upon an early termination or the closing of this Offering, AC Sunshine and Univest shall provide a list of such investors they introduced to the Company. An underwriter’s failure to provide such list to the Company within five business days of the termination of the Engagement Letter shall terminate any obligations of the Company to any compensation to such underwriter pursuant to this paragraph. This right shall be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5), including that it may be terminated by us for cause in case of AC Sunshine’s or Univest’s material failure to provide the services contemplated in the underwriting agreement.

Right of First Refusal

We have granted AC Sunshine and Univest, during the Engagement Period with them and for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Offering, the right of first refusal to provide investment banking services to us on terms that are the same or more favorable to us compared to terms offered to us by other underwriters/placement agents, which right is exercisable in AC Sunshine and Univest’s sole discretion. Such right of first refusal shall not be granted if the engagement between us, AC Sunshine and Univest is terminated pursuant to the terms contained therein. “Investment banking services” shall include, without limitation, (a) acting as lead or joint-lead managers for any underwritten public offering; (b) acting as lead or joint book-runners and or lead or joint placement agents; (c) acting as initial purchasers in connection with any private offering of our securities and (d) acting as financial advisors in connection with any sale or other transfer by us, directly or indirectly, of a majority or controlling portion of its capital stock or assets to another entity, any purchase or other transfer by another entity, directly or indirectly, of a majority or controlling portion of the capital stocks or assets of us, and any merger or consolidation of us with another entity. AC Sunshine and Univest shall notify us of their intention to exercise such right of first refusal within 15 business days following written notice from us. Any decision by AC Sunshine and Univest to act in any such capacity shall be set forth in separate agreements, which shall include, among other matters, provisions for customary fees for transactions of similar size and nature (as may be mutually agreed upon) and indemnification of AC Sunshine and Univest, and shall be subject to general market conditions, provided the terms for such financing or transaction are the same or more favorable to us compared to terms offered by other underwriters/placement agents. If AC Sunshine and Univest decline to exercise such right of first refusal, we shall have the right to retain any other person or persons to provide such services on terms and conditions that are not more favorable than the terms presented to and declined by AC Sunshine and Univest. This right of first refusal may be terminated by us for “Cause,” which includes, but is not limited to, AC Sunshine’s or Univest’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud in connection with performing any of their obligations to us.

Lock-up Agreements

All officers, directors and shareholders owning 5% or more of our Class A Ordinary Shares have agreed, without the agreement in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Representative for a period of six (6) months from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part (the “Lock-Up Period”) and subject to certain exceptions, (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Class A Ordinary Shares or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described

106

Table of Contents

in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, except to AC Sunshine and Univest pursuant to this. The Company also agrees not to accelerate the vesting of any option or warrant or the lapse of any repurchase right prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

No Sales of Similar Securities

We have agreed, for a period of six (6) months from the effective date of registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any Class A Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Ordinary Shares; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank or (iv) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Class A Ordinary Shares or any such other securities, whether any such transaction described in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of Class A Ordinary Shares or such other securities of the Company.

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with this Offering, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more Class A Ordinary Shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriters under option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of Class A Ordinary Shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of Class A Ordinary Shares compared to the price available under the option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares. The underwriters may also sell shares in excess of the option to purchase additional Class A Ordinary Shares, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the Offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriters or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing our Class A Ordinary Shares in this Offering because such underwriters repurchases those Class A Ordinary Shares in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, our Class A Ordinary Shares in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be affected on the Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

Pricing of the Offering

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Class A Ordinary Shares. The Offering Price will be determined by negotiations between us and the Representative. In determining the Offering Price, we and the Representative expect to consider a number of factors, including:

•        the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to AC Sunshine and Univest;

•        our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

•        an assessment of our management;

107

Table of Contents

•        our prospects for future earnings;

•        the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this Offering;

•        the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded securities of generally comparable companies; and

•        other factors deemed relevant by AC Sunshine, Univest, and us.

The estimated Offering Price range set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. Neither we nor AC Sunshine nor Univest can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for the Class A Ordinary Shares, or that the Class A Ordinary Shares will trade in the public market at or above the Offering Price.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify AC Sunshine and Univest against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to payments that AC Sunshine and Univest may be required to make for these liabilities.

Listing

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares. We have applied to have our Class A Ordinary Shares approved for listing on the Nasdaq under the symbol “AHMA.” We make no representation that such application will be approved or that our Class A Ordinary Shares will trade on such market either now or at any time in the future; notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not close this Offering unless such Class A Ordinary Shares will be so listed at completion of this Offering.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriters or selling group members, if any, participating in this Offering and the underwriters may distribute prospectuses electronically. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of Class A Ordinary Shares to selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The Class A Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to internet distributions will be allocated on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or the underwriters, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Passive Market Making

Any underwriter who is a qualified market maker on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions on Nasdaq, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as a passive market maker. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security. If all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Some of the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and our affiliates, for which they may in the future receive customary fees, commissions and expenses.

108

Table of Contents

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Accordingly, we will be required to file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other information with the SEC. The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC. The address of the website is www.sec.gov. Additionally, we will make these filings available, free of charge, on our website at http://www.huntertourism.net as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such materials with, or furnish them to, the SEC. The information on our website, other than these filings, is not, and should not be, considered part of this prospectus and is not incorporated by reference into this document.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Ambitions Enterprise Management Co. L.L.C

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ambitions Enterprise Management Co. L.L.C and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the six months period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Review Results

These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO., L.L.C
NOTES TO UNAUDTED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in absolute, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

1. ORGANIZATION

(a) Nature of operations

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C (“Ambitions” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 2, 2023 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands with an authorized share capital of USD50,000 divided into 500,000,000,000 ordinary shares of par value USD0.0000001 each and 16,500,000 Class A ordinary shares and 33,500,000 Class B ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. HUNTER INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL & TOURISM L.L.C (“Hunter”) was incorporated in the UAE on October 10, 2007. MULTIPLE EVENTS (“Multiple”) was incorporated in the UAE on March 16, 2008. Hunter, together with Multiple (collectively, the ‘‘Operating Entities”), are principally engaged in providing one-stop tourism and management solution service for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (“MICE”) in the UAE, including event planning, ticketing, visa application, ground services, accommodation and dining arrangements, event reception and execution.

(b) Reorganization

In preparation of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in the United States, the following transactions were undertaken to reorganize the legal structure of the Operating Entities. The Company was incorporated in connection with a group reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Company and its subsidiaries.

On December 10, 2023, the Company acquired AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C (“Ambitions Dubai”) in the UAE, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon closing.

On December 10, 2023, the Company, through Ambitions Dubai, entered into two equity purchase agreements with the Operating Entities and its then shareholders. The Operating Entities then became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ambitions Dubai. The Company has accounted for the Reorganization as a transaction between entities with common ownership, which is akin to a reorganization of entities under common control. After the Reorganization, Zhengang Tang, the principal shareholder of the Operating Entities before the Reorganization, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company after the Reorganization, beneficially owns an aggregate of 70.17% of the Company’s outstanding Shares. As all the entities involved in the process of the Reorganization are under common ownership of Ambition’s shareholders before and after the Reorganization, the Reorganization is accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests with the assets and liabilities of the parties to the Reorganization carried over at their historical amounts. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the corporate structure of the Company had been in existence since the beginning of the periods presented. The Company and its subsidiaries hereinafter are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

As of the date of this report, the details of the Company’s subsidiaries are as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDTED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in absolute, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

1. ORGANIZATION (cont.)

(c) Impact of the COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world beginning in 2020. Government measures implemented then to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels.

Since then, many countries have vaccinated a reasonable proportion of their population and the spread of virus is now being contained to varying degrees in different countries. With the evolution of milder COVID-19 variants, availability of multiple vaccine booster doses and increasing familiarity with the virus, many COVID-19 related travel restrictions have been lifted with the countries around the world reopening their borders for foreign travel and clients becoming more comfortable traveling. This has led to a moderation, and to an extent recovery, of the more severe declines in business travel bookings experienced at the height of the pandemic and during periods of resurgence. The Company has seen improvement in its transaction volume starting the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022. While the global travel activity has since shown a recovery trend, it still remains below 2019 levels. Since March 2020, the Company has taken several measures to preserve its liquidity, including initiating a business response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic (voluntary and involuntary redundancies, flexible workings, mandatory pay reductions, consolidating facilities, etc.). The Company incurred a net income of $113,071 and had cash inflows from operations of $385,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net income of $40,978 and cash inflows from operations of $227,471 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Overall, the full duration and total impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain and it is difficult to predict how the recovery will unfold for the travel industry and, in particular, the Company’s business, going forward. The severity and duration of resurgence of COVID-19 variants, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against such new variants of the virus, may contribute to delays in economic recovery.

On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 is now an established and ongoing health issue which no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. However, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of COVID-19, the potential resurgence of COVID-19 cases, future government actions in response to COVID-19 and the overall impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of COVID-19 on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(b) Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, and to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO., L.L.C
NOTES TO UNAUDTED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in absolute, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

All significant transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported period in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements mainly include, but are not limited to the incremental borrowing rate used in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, useful lives of equipment, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, and current expected credit loss of receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Foreign currency

The Group’s reporting currency is United States dollars (“$”). The functional currency of the Company is USD. The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the UAE are their respective local currencies Dirham (“AED”). The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria set out by ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”).

Transactions denominated in currencies other than in the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The financial statements of the Group’s entities of which the functional currency is not USD are translated from their respective functional currency into USD. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts other than earnings generated in current period are translated into USD at the appropriate historical rates. Income and expense items are translated into USD using the periodic average exchange rates. Due to the exchange rate of USD to AED being 3.6725, there is no other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, time deposits and highly-liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.

(f) Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents the cash that is not freely available to be spent nor re-invested to sustain future growth, which is legally or contractually restricted, or only to be used for a specified purpose. The restrictions can be permanent or temporary. Failure to use the asset according to agreed limitations will generate contractual or legal consequences.

(g) Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit loss

Accounts receivable primarily includes trade accounts receivable from business clients and travel suppliers, less allowances for expected credit loss. The Group measures all expected credit losses at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(h) Equipment, net

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is recognized once an asset is available for its intended use. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets which are as follows:

Category

 

Estimated useful life

Electronic equipment

 

3 – 5 years

Motor vehicles

 

3 – 5 years

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. Impairment of long-lived assets was disclosed in note 6.

(i) Deferred offering costs

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, offering costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. These costs include legal fees related to the registration drafting and counsel, consulting fees related to the registration preparation, SEC filing and print related costs, exchange listing costs, and road show related costs.

(j) Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill

The Group evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and right-of-use assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amounts of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was approximately $47,830 impairment of long-lived assets recognized.

(k) Fair value of financial instruments

The Group adopted the guidance of ASC 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 —

 

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

   

Level 2 —

 

Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

   

Level 3 —

 

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

(Amounts in absolute, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, amount due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and amount due to related parties, approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Group did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(l) Revenue recognition

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Group recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and recognizes in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Group recognized revenue according to the following five-step revenue recognition criteria based on ASC 606: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Group generates revenue by providing (i) MICE management solution services, an acronym that stands for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions, which refers to a sector of the tourism industry that organizes, manages, and hosts events for business or academic purposes; (ii) packaged tours services; (iii) services for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation; and (iv) other travel related services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services in an arrangement is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group’s revenue, in absolute amounts and percentages of total revenue for the periods presented:

MICE management solution services revenue

The Group generates revenue from providing MICE management solution services to the corporate customers for their business purpose tourism. The Group acts as the principal and its performance obligation is to provide the overall MICE management solution services to customers. The Group’s services cover all aspects of the work from event planning, venue selection, event promotion, event execution, event management, and other related services. However, customers are not able to benefit any one of these services alone as the Group determines pricing for the entire MICE services as a whole without any variable considerations. Each contract of MICE management solution services contains a single performance obligation to provide MICE management solution services which is satisfied at the point when the meetings, conferences, and exhibitions are completed. MICE management solution services revenue are recognized on a gross basis at a point in time when the service is rendered.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Packaged tours services revenue

The Group also operates its self-operated local tour operator business in various destinations by directly providing destination-based services to the organized tour customers, starting from their arrival at the destination and all the way until they depart from the destination. As a self-operated local tour operator, the Group integrates the underlying resources such as transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals and tour guide services from selected suppliers, directs the selected vendors to provide services on the Group’s behalf, and hence sets up the price for the tour. However, customers are not able to benefit any one of these services alone as the Group determines pricing for the entire packages tour services as a whole without any variable considerations. The Group is also primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise of the whole packaged tours service, which is a single performance obligation. Accordingly, the Group is a principal for the self-operated local tour operator business and recognizes revenue on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606.

Commission revenue for air ticketing and hotel reservation

Transportation ticketing services

The Group receives commissions from travel suppliers for ticketing reservations and other related services through the Group’s transaction under various services agreements. Commissions from ticketing reservations rendered are recognized when tickets are issued as this is when the Group’s performance obligation is satisfied. The Group is not entitled to a commission fee for the tickets canceled by the end users. Losses incurred from cancelations are immaterial due to a historical low cancelation rate and minimal administrative costs incurred in processing cancelations. The Group presents revenue from such transactions on a net basis as the Group, generally, does not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the traveler and does not assume inventory risk for canceled ticketing reservations.

Accommodation reservation services

The Group receives commissions from travel suppliers for hotel room reservations through the Group’s transactions. Commissions from hotel reservation services rendered are recognized when the reservation becomes non-cancelable (when the cancelation period provided by the reservation expires) which is the point at which the Group has fulfilled its performance obligation (successfully booking a reservation, which includes certain post-booking services during the cancelation period). Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain incentive commissions typically subject to achieving specific performance targets. The incentive commissions are considered as variable consideration and are estimated and recognized to the extent that the Group is entitled to such incentive commissions. The Group generally receives incentive commissions from monthly arrangements with hotels based on the number of hotel room reservations where end users have completed their stay. The Group presents revenue from such transactions on a net basis as the Group, generally, does not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the traveler and does not assume inventory risk for canceled hotel reservations.

Other revenue

Other revenue primarily comprise revenue generated from service fees received from insurance companies and commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets and visa application services.

Contract balances

When either party to a contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheets as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the Group’s performance and the customer’s payment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

A contract asset is the right to be considered in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before a payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.

A contract liability is recognized when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Group recognized revenue of $142,309 and $917,572, respectively, which was initially recorded as contract liabilities and presented as “Advance from customers” on the consolidated balance sheets at the beginning of each period. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities amounted to $122,562 and $142,309, respectively. Subsequently, the Group recognized revenue of $122,562 which was initially recorded as contract liabilities as of June 30, 2024.

(m) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue mainly consists of salaries and other compensation expenses related to the Group’s tour advisors, customer services representatives, and other personnel related to MICE management solution services and packaged tours transactions, and other expenses directly attributable to the Group’s principal operations, primarily including cost of merchandises, payment processing fees, telecommunication expenses, rental expenses, depreciation expenses, and other service fee. For the arrangements where the Group secures availabilities of tours and bears substantive inventory risks and for the self-operated local tour operator business, from which revenue are recognized on a gross basis, cost of revenue also includes the amount paid to tour operators or suppliers. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group’s cost of revenue, in absolute amounts and percentages of total revenue for the period presented:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(p) Taxation

Income Taxes

The UAE has recently issued the Corporate Tax Law, pursuant to which federal corporate tax will be implemented for financial periods starting on or after June 1, 2023. A tax rate of 9% on taxable income in excess of AED375,000 will be applicable to (i) legal persons incorporated or managed and controlled in the UAE; (ii) natural persons that conduct business in the UAE; and (iii) foreign businesses that have a permanent establishment in the UAE. Special rules govern qualifying free zone entities, pursuant to which such entities will be subject to 0% tax on their qualifying income. A different, higher, tax rate is expected to apply to certain entities that are part of large multinational groups with global consolidated revenue in excess of 750 million Euro (approximately AED3.15 billion or US$0.86 billion), however such rate has not yet been specified. Certain categories of UAE-sourced income generated by foreign businesses without a permanent establishment in the UAE will be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 0%. It is currently unclear how capital gains derived by foreign businesses from the sale of shares of entities resident in the UAE would be taxed.

As the Chapter 19 — Translate rules show in Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 published by UAE that a taxable person’s opening balance sheet for corporate tax purposes shall be the closing balance sheet prepared for financial reporting purposes under accounting standards applied in the State on the last day of the financial year that ends immediately before their first tax period commences, subject to any conditions or adjustments that may be prescribed by the minister.

Value added tax

The Company’s UAE subsidiaries are subject to value added tax. Revenue from providing services is generally subject to VAT at the rate of 5%. The Group paid to local tax authorities after netting input VAT on purchases. The excess of output VAT over input VAT is reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the excess of input VAT over output VAT is reflected in prepayments and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Uncertain tax positions

The Group did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

(q) Comprehensive income (loss)

The Group has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 220 “Comprehensive income”, which establishes standards for reporting and the presentation of comprehensive income (loss), its components, and accumulated balances. There was no other comprehensive income or loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(r) Leases

On January 1, 2021, the Group adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840. The Group elected to apply practical expedients permitted under the transition method that allow them to use the beginning of the period of adoption as the date of initial application, to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less, to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and to not reassess lease classification, treatment of initial direct costs, or whether an existing or expired contract contains a lease. The Group used modified retrospective method.

NOTES TO UNAUDTED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in absolute, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Under the new lease standard, the Group determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease terms. The Group considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of lease commencement.

At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred. As of June 30, 2024, the Group recognized right-of-use assets of $68,527 and corresponding current operating lease liabilities of $52,747, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Group recognized right-of-use assets of $108,890 and corresponding current operating lease liabilities of $93,171, respectively.

(s) Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person and or their immediate family hold 10% or more of the Group’s securities; (ii) the Group’s management and or their immediate family; (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Group; or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Group. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

(t) Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss is incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

(u) Segment reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers.

Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, the Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the company. As a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Group’s long-lived assets are substantially located in Dubai, no geographical segments are presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(v) Recent adopted standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group adopted ASU No. 2021-08 since January 1, 2023, and the impact of adopting this guidance on the Group’s consolidated financial statements was minimal.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses”, which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of the adoption on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows was immaterial.

(w) Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The update also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The update also requires certain additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for the Group beginning January 1, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Group does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which focuses on improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. A public entity shall disclose for each reportable segment the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in reported segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Entities are permitted to disclose more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss if such measures are used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance, as long as at least one of those measures is determined in a way that is most consistent with the measurement principles used to measure the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-07 is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in financial statements, unless it is impracticable. This update will be effective for the Group’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the disclosure impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires specific disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been

issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the consolidated financial statements, once adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and does not expect it to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

(a) Political, social, and economic risks

The Group’s operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic, and social uncertainties in the UAE. Although the UAE government has been pursuing economic reform policies for several years, no assurance can be given that the UAE government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting the UAE political, economic, and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the UAE government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

(b) Credit risk and Concentration

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately US$1,162,052 and US$778,952 were deposited with financial institutions located in the UAE, respectively. While the Group believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was a customer, customer D, whose revenue individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue, accounting for approximately 14.5%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was a customer, customer A, whose revenue individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue, accounting for approximately 12.5%. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there was a customer, customer B, that accounted for approximately 11.3% and 19.6%, respectively, while customer D accounted for 10.1% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there was one supplier, supplier A, from whom purchases individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total purchases, accounting for approximately 24.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no suppliers whose purchases individually represented more than 10% of the Group’s total purchases. As of June 30, 2024, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s accounts payable. As of December 31, 2023, one supplier, supplier A, accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s total accounts payable, representing approximately 12.5%.

8. LEASES

The Group leases office space from third parties. The Group does not have any finance lease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Group’s right to use the leased asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. The operating lease expenses were charged to general and administrative expenses and selling and marketing expenses.

A summary of supplemental information related to operating leases as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was as follows:

Deferred Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on factors including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and adequate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. The Group evaluates the potential realization of deferred tax assets on an entity-by-entity basis.

Significant components of the Group’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To The Shareholders and Board of Directors of Ambitions Enterprise Management Co. L.L.C

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ambitions Enterprise Management Co. L.L.C and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO., L.L.C
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in absolute, except share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

1. ORGANIZATION

(a) Nature of operations

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C (“Ambitions” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 2, 2023 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, with an authorized share capital of USD50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of par value USD0.0001 each and 50,000,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. HUNTER INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL & TOURISM L.L.C (“Hunter”) was incorporated in the UAE on October 10, 2007. MULTIPLE EVENTS (“Multiple”) was incorporated in the UAE on March 16, 2008. Hunter, together with Multiple (collectively, the “Operating Entities”), are principally engaged in providing one-stop tourism and management solution service for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (“MICE”) in the UAE, including event planning, ticketing, visa application, ground services, accommodation and dining arrangements, event reception and execution.

(b) Reorganization

In preparation of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in the United States, the following transactions were undertaken to reorganize the legal structure of the Operating Entities. The Company was incorporated in connection with a group reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Company and its subsidiaries.

On December 10, 2023, the Company acquired AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C (“Ambitions Dubai”) in the UAE, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon closing.

On December 10, 2023, the Company, through Ambitions Dubai, entered into two equity purchase agreements with the Operating Entities and its then shareholders. The Operating Entities then became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ambitions Dubai. The Company has accounted for the Reorganization as a transaction between entities with common ownership, which is akin to a reorganization of entities under common control. After the Reorganization, Zhengang Tang, the principal shareholder of the Operating Entities before the Reorganization, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Director, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company after the Reorganization, beneficially owns the Company. As all the entities involved in the process of the Reorganization are under common ownership of Ambition’s shareholders before and after the Reorganization, the Reorganization is accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests with the assets and liabilities of the parties to the Reorganization carried over at their historical amounts. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the corporate structure of the Company had been in existence since the beginning of the periods presented.

(c) Impact of the COVID-19

The outbreak of the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world beginning in 2020. Government measures implemented then to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, limited business travel significantly below 2019 levels.

1. ORGANIZATION (cont.)

Since then, many countries have vaccinated a reasonable proportion of their population and the spread of virus is now being contained to varying degrees in different countries. With the evolution of milder COVID-19 variants, availability of multiple vaccine booster doses and increasing familiarity with the virus, many COVID-19 related travel restrictions have been lifted with the countries around the world reopening their borders for foreign travel and clients becoming more comfortable traveling. This has led to a moderation, and to an extent recovery, of the more severe declines in business travel bookings experienced at the height of the pandemic and during periods of resurgence. The Company has seen improvement in its transaction volume starting the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022. While the global travel activity has since shown a recovery trend, it still remains below 2019 levels. Since March 2020, the Company has taken several measures to preserve its liquidity, including initiating a business response plan to the COVID-19 pandemic (voluntary and involuntary redundancies, flexible workings, mandatory pay reductions, consolidating facilities, etc.). The Company incurred a net income of $1,421,303 and $1,291,738 and had cash outflows from operations of $75,743 and $833,708 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Overall, the full duration and total impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain and it is difficult to predict how the recovery will unfold for the travel industry and, in particular, the Company’s business, going forward. The severity and duration of resurgence of COVID-19 variants, as well as uncertainty over the efficacy of the vaccines against such new variants of the virus, may contribute to delays in economic recovery.

On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 is now an established and ongoing health issue which no longer constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. However, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of COVID-19, the potential resurgence of COVID-19 cases, future government actions in response to COVID-19 and the overall impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of COVID-19 on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(b) Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, and to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

All significant transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported period in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements mainly include, but are not limited to the incremental borrowing rate used in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, useful lives of equipment, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, and current expected credit loss of receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d) Foreign currency

The Group’s reporting currency is United States dollars (“$”). The functional currency of the Company is USD. The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the UAE are their respective local currencies Dirham (“AED”). The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria set out by ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, (“ASC 830”).

Transactions denominated in currencies other than in the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are re-measured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The financial statements of the Group’s entities of which the functional currency is not USD are translated from their respective functional currency into USD. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts other than earnings generated in current period are translated into USD at the appropriate historical rates. Income and expense items are translated into USD using the periodic average exchange rates. Due to the exchange rate of USD to AED being 3.6725, there is no other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, time deposits and highly-liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities of three months or less.

(f) Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents the cash that is not freely available to be spent nor re-invested to sustain future growth, which is legally or contractually restricted, or only to be used for a specified purpose. The restrictions can be permanent or temporary. Failure to use the asset according to agreed limitations will generate contractual or legal consequences.

(g) Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit loss

Accounts receivable primarily includes trade accounts receivable from business clients and travel suppliers, less allowances for expected credit loss. The Group measures all expected credit losses at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(h) Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is recognized once an asset is available for its intended use. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets which are as follows:

Category

 

Estimated useful life

Electronic equipment

 

3 – 5 years

Motor vehicles

 

3 – 5 years

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. Impairment of long-lived assets was disclosed in Note 6.

(i) Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill

The Group evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and right-of-use assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amounts of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was approximately $47,830 and $68,074 impairment of long-lived assets recognized, respectively.

(j) Fair value of financial instruments

The Group adopted the guidance of ASC 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 —

 

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

   

Level 2 —

 

Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

   

Level 3 —

 

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, amount due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and amount due to related parties, approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Group did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(k) Revenue recognition

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Group recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and recognizes in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Group recognized revenue according to the following five-step revenue recognition criteria based on ASC 606: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Group generates revenue by providing (i) MICE management solution services, an acronym that stands for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions, which refers to a sector of the tourism industry that organizes, manages, and hosts events for business or academic purposes; (ii) packaged tours services; (iii) services for transportation ticketing and accommodation reservation; and (iv) other travel related services. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services in an arrangement is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those services. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Group’s revenue, in absolute amounts and percentages of total revenue for the years presented:

MICE management solution services revenue

The Group generates revenue from providing MICE management solution services to the corporate customers for their business purpose tourism. The Group acts as the principal and its performance obligation is to provide the overall MICE management solution services to customers. The Group’s services cover all aspects of the work from event planning, venue selection, event promotion, event execution, event management, and other related services. However, customers are not able to benefit any one of these services alone as the Group determines pricing for the entire MICE services as a whole without any variable considerations. Each contract of MICE management solution services contains a single performance obligation to provide MICE management solution services which is satisfied at the point when the meetings, conferences, and exhibitions are completed. MICE management solution services revenue are recognized on a gross basis at a point in time when the service is rendered.

Packaged tours services revenue

The Group also operates its self-operated local tour operator business in various destinations by directly providing destination-based services to the organized tour customers, starting from their arrival at the destination and all the way until they depart from the destination. As a self-operated local tour operator, the Group integrates the underlying resources such as transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals and tour guide services from selected suppliers, directs the selected vendors to provide services on the Group’s behalf, and hence sets up the price for the tour. However, customers are not able to benefit any one of these services alone as the Group determines pricing for the entire packages tour services as a whole without any variable considerations. The Group is also primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise of the whole packaged tours service, which is a single performance obligation. Accordingly, the Group is a principal for the self-operated local tour operator business and recognizes revenue on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Commission revenue for air ticketing and hotel reservation

Transportation ticketing services

The Group receives commissions from travel suppliers for ticketing reservations and other related services through the Group’s transaction under various services agreements. Commissions from ticketing reservations rendered are recognized when tickets are issued as this is when the Group’s performance obligation is satisfied. The Group is not entitled to a commission fee for the tickets canceled by the end users. Losses incurred from cancelations are immaterial due to a historical low cancelation rate and minimal administrative costs incurred in processing cancelations. The Group presents revenue from such transactions on a net basis as the Group, generally, does not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the traveler and does not assume inventory risk for canceled ticketing reservations.

Accommodation reservation services

The Group receives commissions from travel suppliers for hotel room reservations through the Group’s transactions. Commissions from hotel reservation services rendered are recognized when the reservation becomes non-cancelable (when the cancelation period provided by the reservation expires) which is the point at which the Group has fulfilled its performance obligation (successfully booking a reservation, which includes certain post-booking services during the cancelation period). Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain incentive commissions typically subject to achieving specific performance targets. The incentive commissions are considered as variable consideration and are estimated and recognized to the extent that the Group is entitled to such incentive commissions. The Group generally receives incentive commissions from monthly arrangements with hotels based on the number of hotel room reservations where end users have completed their stay. The Group presents revenue from such transactions on a net basis as the Group, generally, does not control the service provided by the travel supplier to the traveler and does not assume inventory risk for canceled hotel reservations.

Other revenue

Other revenue primarily comprises revenue generated from service fees received from insurance companies and commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets and visa application services.

Contract balances

When either party to a contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheets as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the Group’s performance and the customer’s payment.

A contract asset is the right to be considered in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before a payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.

A contract liability is recognized when a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group recognized revenue of $917,572 and $971,818, respectively, which was initially recorded as contract liabilities and presented as “Advance from customers” on the consolidated balance sheet at the beginning of each period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, contract liabilities are amounted to $142,309 and $917,572, respectively. Subsequently, the Group recognized revenue of $142,309 which was initially recorded as contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023.

(l) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue mainly consists of salaries and other compensation expenses related to the Group’s tour advisors, customer services representatives, and other personnel related to MICE management solution services and packaged tours transactions, and other expenses directly attributable to the Group’s principal operations, primarily including cost of merchandises, payment processing fees, telecommunication expenses, rental expenses, depreciation expenses, and other service fee. For the arrangements where the Group secures availabilities of tours and bears substantive inventory risks and for the self-operated local tour operator business, from which revenue is recognized on a gross basis, cost of revenue also includes the amount paid to tour operators or suppliers.

(m) Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and other compensation-related expenses to sales and marketing personnel, marketing and promotional expenses. The Group expenses all advertising costs as incurred and classifies these costs under sales and marketing expenses.

(n) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses and benefits for employees involved in general corporate functions, amortization of right-of-use assets, depreciation and amortization, legal and other professional services fees, and other general corporate related expenses.

(o) Taxation

Income Taxes

Under the current laws of the UAE, the subsidiaries are not subject to tax on income or capital gain. Additionally, UAE does not impose a withholding tax on payments of dividends to shareholders.

Value added tax

The Company’s UAE subsidiaries are subject to value added tax. Revenue from providing services is generally subject to VAT at the rate of 5%. The Group paid to local tax authorities after netting input VAT on purchases. The excess of output VAT over input VAT is reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the excess of input VAT over output VAT is reflected in prepayments and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Uncertain tax positions

Incoming Federal Corporate Tax

The UAE has recently issued the Corporate Tax Law, pursuant to which federal corporate tax will be implemented for financial periods starting on or after June 1, 2023. A tax rate of 9% on taxable income in excess of AED375,000 will be applicable to (i) legal persons incorporated or managed and controlled in the UAE; (ii) natural persons that conduct

business in the UAE; and (iii) foreign businesses that have a permanent establishment in the UAE. Special rules govern qualifying free zone entities, pursuant to which such entities will be subject to 0% tax on their qualifying income. A different, higher, tax rate is expected to apply to certain entities that are part of large multinational groups with global consolidated revenue in excess of 750 million Euro (approximately AED3.15 billion), however such rate has not yet been specified. Certain categories of UAE-sourced income generated by foreign businesses without a permanent establishment in the UAE will be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 0%. It is currently unclear how capital gains derived by foreign businesses from the sale of shares of entities resident in the UAE would be taxed.

As the Chapter 19 -Translate rules show in Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 published by UAE that a taxable person’s opening balance sheet for corporate tax purposes shall be the closing balance sheet prepared for financial reporting purposes under accounting standards applied in the State on the last day of the financial year that ends immediately before their first tax period commences, subject to any conditions or adjustments that may be prescribed by the minister. This means the Group does not need to pay income tax in 2023.

The Group did not accrue any liability, interests, or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

(p) Comprehensive income (loss)

The Group has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 220 “Comprehensive income”, which establishes standards for reporting and the presentation of comprehensive income (loss), its components, and accumulated balances. There was no other comprehensive income or loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(q) Leases

On January 1, 2021, the Group adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840. The Group elected to apply practical expedients permitted under the transition method that allow them to use the beginning of the period of adoption as the date of initial application, to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less, to not separate non-lease components from lease components, and to not reassess lease classification, treatment of initial direct costs, or whether an existing or expired contract contains a lease. The Group used modified retrospective method.

Under the new lease standard, the Group determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease terms. The Group considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of lease commencement.

At the commencement date, the lease liability is recognized at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred. As of December 31, 2023, the Group recognized right-of-use assets of $108,890 and corresponding current operating lease liabilities of $93,171, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Group recognized right-of-use assets of $62,896 and corresponding current operating lease liabilities of $56,315, respectively.

(r) Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person and or their immediate family hold 10% or more of the Group’s securities; (ii) the Group’s management and or their immediate family; (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Group; or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

financial and operating decisions of the Group. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

(s) Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss is incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

(t) Segment reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers.

Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, the Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the company. As a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Group’s long-lived assets are substantially located in Dubai, no geographical segments are presented.

(u) Recent adopted standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU requires acquiring entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group adopted ASU No. 2021-08 since January 1, 2023, and the impact of adopting this guidance on the Group’s consolidated financial statements was minimal.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses”, which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of the adoption on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows was immaterial.

(v) Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The update also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The update also requires certain additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The amendments in this update are effective for the Group beginning January 1, 2024 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Group does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which focuses on improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. A public entity shall disclose for each reportable segment the significant expense categories and amounts that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in reported segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 also requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Entities are permitted to disclose more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss if such measures are used by the CODM to allocate resources and assess performance, as long as at least one of those measures is determined in a way that is most consistent with the measurement principles used to measure the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements. ASU 2023-07 is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in financial statements, unless it is impracticable. This update will be effective for the Group’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the disclosure impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires specific disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the consolidated financial statements, once adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance and does not expect it to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

(a) Political, social, and economic risks

The Group’s operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic, and social uncertainties in the UAE. Although the UAE government has been pursuing economic reform policies for several years, no assurance can be given that the UAE government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or unforeseen circumstances affecting the UAE political, economic, and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the UAE government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

The Group leases office space from third parties. The Group does not have any finance lease for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Part II — Information Not Required in the Prospectus

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to the public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, our directors and officers (but not including our auditors) shall be indemnified and secured harmless against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities sustained by them, other than by reason of their own willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the our business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such persons in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning us or our affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)     to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser;

(b)    insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue;

(c)     for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective;

(d)    for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(e)     for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(f)     to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(g)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement, unless the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) below is contained in reports filed

(i)     to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(ii)    to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Filing Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(h)    for the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)     Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

7

 

 

10.The Company may insofar as may be permitted by law, pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares.

The Company may also pay such brokerage as may be lawful on any issue of Shares.

 

11.The Directors may refuse to accept any application for Shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

 

CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES AND CLASS B ORDINARY SHARES

 

12.Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the Members. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company, and each Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to fifteen (15) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company.

 

13.Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof. The right to convert shall be exercisable by the holder of the Class B Ordinary Share delivering a written notice to the Company that such holder elects to convert a specified number of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares. In no event shall Class A Ordinary Shares be convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares.

 

14.Any conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to these Articles shall be effected by means of the re-designation of each relevant Class B Ordinary Share as a Class A Ordinary Share. Such conversion shall become effective (i) in the case of any conversion effected pursuant to Article 13, forthwith upon the receipt by the Company of the written notice delivered to the Company as described in Article 13 (or at such later date as may be specified in such notice), or (ii) in the case of any automatic conversion effected pursuant to Article 15, forthwith upon occurrence of the event specified in Article 15 which triggers such automatic conversion, and the Company shall make entries in the Register to record the re- designation of the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares as Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

15.Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B Ordinary Share by a Shareholder to any person who is not the Designated Person or an Affiliate of the Designated Person, or upon a change of ultimate beneficial ownership of any Class B Ordinary Share to any Person who is not the Designated Person or an Affiliate of the Designated Person, such Class B Ordinary Share shall be automatically and immediately converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Share. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition shall be effective upon the Company’s registration of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposition in its Register; and (ii) the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any Class B Ordinary Shares to secure a holder’s contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition, or a change of ultimate beneficial ownership, unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right is enforced and results in the third party holding legal title to the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares, in which case all the related Class B Ordinary Shares shall be automatically converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares. For the purposes of this Article 15, beneficial ownership shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

 

16.Save and except for voting rights and conversion rights as set out in Articles 12 to 15 (inclusive), the Class A Ordinary Shares and the Class B Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with one another and shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions.

 

8

 

 

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

 

17.Whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any Class, only be materially adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued Shares of that Class or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that Class. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one or more Persons holding or representing by proxy at least one-third in nominal or par value amount of the issued Shares of the relevant Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not present, those Shareholders who are present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of this Article the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes.

 

18.The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied by, inter alia, the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company. The rights of the holders of Shares shall not be deemed to be materially adversely varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

 

CERTIFICATES

 

19.Every Person whose name is entered as a Member in the Register may, without payment and upon its written request, request a certificate within two calendar months after allotment or lodgement of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide) in the form determined by the Directors. All certificates shall specify the Share or Shares held by that Person, provided that in respect of a Share or Shares held jointly by several Persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a Share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all. All certificates for Shares shall be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the Member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address as appearing in the Register.

 

20.Every share certificate of the Company shall bear legends required under the applicable laws, including the Securities Act.

 

9

 

 

21.Any two or more certificates representing Shares of any one Class held by any Member may at the Member’s request be cancelled and a single new certificate for such Shares issued in lieu on payment (if the Directors shall so require) of one U.S. dollar (US$1.00) or such smaller sum as the Directors shall determine.

 

22.If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request, subject to delivery up of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

 

23.In the event that Shares are held jointly by several Persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

 

FRACTIONAL SHARES

 

24.The Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated.

25.The Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share registered in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it, including but not limited to dividends.

 

26.The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen calendar days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

 

27.For giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise a Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

 

28.The proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commissions incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

 

29.Subject to the terms of the allotment, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen calendar days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

 

30.The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof.

 

31.If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.

 

32.The provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

33.The Directors may make arrangements with respect to the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment.

 

34.The Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution, eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors. No such sum paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable.

 

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

 

35.If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

 

36.The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen calendar days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

11

 

 

37.If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

 

38.A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

39.A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

 

40.A certificate in writing under the hand of a Director that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

 

41.The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

 

42.The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

43.The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Shareholder until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the relevant Shares.

 

44.(a) The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares which is not fully paid up or on which the Company has a lien.

 

(b)The Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Share unless:

(ii)the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one Class of Shares;

 

12

 

 

(iii)the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

 

(iv)in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

 

(v)a fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the Board of Directors may from time to time require, is paid to the Company in respect thereof.

 

45.The registration of transfers may, on ten calendar days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers, by electronic means or by any other means in accordance with the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, be suspended and the Register closed at such times and for such periods as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the Register closed for more than thirty calendar days in any calendar year.

 

46.All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any Shares, they shall within three calendar months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company send notice of the refusal to each of the transferor and the transferee.

 

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

 

47.The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased survivor, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.

 

48.Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.

 

49.A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Shareholder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Shareholder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Shareholder in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company, provided however, that the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the Share, and if the notice is not complied with within ninety calendar days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

61. (a) The Company may (but shall not be obliged to) in each calendar year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it.

ALTERNATE DIRECTOR OR PROXY

 

99.Any Director may in writing appoint another Person to be his alternate and, save to the extent provided otherwise in the form of appointment, such alternate shall have authority to sign written resolutions on behalf of the appointing Director, but shall not be required to sign such written resolutions where they have been signed by the appointing director, and to act in such Director’s place at any meeting of the Directors at which the appointing Director is unable to be present. Every such alternate shall be entitled to attend and vote at meetings of the Directors as a Director when the Director appointing him is not personally present and where he is a Director to have a separate vote on behalf of the Director he is representing in addition to his own vote. A Director may at any time in writing revoke the appointment of an alternate appointed by him. Such alternate shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Director and shall not be deemed to be the agent of the Director appointing him.

100.Any Director may appoint any Person, whether or not a Director, to be the proxy of that Director to attend and vote on his behalf, in accordance with instructions given by that Director, or in the absence of such instructions at the discretion of the proxy, at a meeting or meetings of the Directors which that Director is unable to attend personally.

POWERS AND DUTIES OF DIRECTORS

 

101.Subject to the Companies Act, these Articles and to any resolutions passed in a general meeting, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors, who may pay all expenses incurred in setting up and registering the Company and may exercise all powers of the Company.

Any natural person or corporation so appointed by the Directors may be removed by the Directors.

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS

Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. At any meeting of the Directors, each Director present in person or represented by his proxy or alternate shall be entitled to one vote. In case of an equality of votes the Chairperson shall have a second or casting vote. A Director may, and a Secretary or assistant Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Directors.

 

116.A Director may participate in any meeting of the Directors, or of any committee appointed by the Directors of which such Director is a member, by means of telephone or similar communication equipment by way of which all Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other and such participation shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 

117.The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Board may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed, the quorum shall be a majority of Directors then in office. A Director represented by proxy or by an alternate Director at any meeting shall be deemed to be present for the purposes of determining whether or not a quorum is present.

 

118.A Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Directors. A general notice given to the Directors by any Director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated. Subject to the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, a Director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the Directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration.

 

119.A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of auditor) in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the Directors may determine and no Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company either with regard to his tenure of any such other office or place of profit or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director is in any way interested be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. A Director, notwithstanding his interest, may be counted in the quorum present at any meeting of the Directors whereat he or any other Director is appointed to hold any such office or place of profit under the Company or whereat the terms of any such appointment are arranged and he may vote on any such appointment or arrangement.

 

120.Any Director may act by himself or through his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and he or his firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director; provided that nothing herein contained shall authorise a Director or his firm to act as auditor to the Company.

 

23

 

 

121.The Directors shall cause minutes to be made for the purpose of recording:

 

(a)all appointments of officers made by the Directors;

(c)all resolutions and proceedings at all meetings of the Company, and of the Directors and of committees of Directors.

 

122.When the chairperson of a meeting of the Directors signs the minutes of such meeting the same shall be deemed to have been duly held notwithstanding that all the Directors have not actually come together or that there may have been a technical defect in the proceedings.

 

123.A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of Directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of Directors or committee of Directors, as the case may be (an alternate Director, subject as provided otherwise in the terms of appointment of the alternate Director, being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointer), shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a duly called and constituted meeting of Directors or committee of Directors, as the case may be. When signed a resolution may consist of several documents each signed by one or more of the Directors or his duly appointed alternate.

 

124.The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body but if and for so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to these Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors, the continuing Directors may act for the purpose of increasing the number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

 

125.Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, a committee appointed by the Directors may elect a chairperson of its meetings. If no such chairperson is elected, or if at any meeting the chairperson is not present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the committee members present may choose one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting.

 

126.A committee appointed by the Directors may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Subject to any regulations imposed on it by the Directors, questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the committee members present and in case of an equality of votes the chairperson shall have a second or casting vote.

 

127.All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, or by any Person acting as a Director, shall notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such Director or Person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such Person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a Director.

 

24

 

 

PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT

 

128.A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which an action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairperson or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

129.Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Directors may from time to time declare dividends (including interim dividends) and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor.

 

130.Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, the Company by Ordinary Resolution may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

 

131.The Directors may, before recommending or declaring any dividend, set aside out of the funds legally available for distribution such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, in the absolute discretion of the Directors, be applicable for meeting contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied, and pending such application may in the absolute discretion of the Directors, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments (other than Shares of the Company) as the Directors may from time to time think fit.

 

132.Any dividend payable in cash to the holder of Shares may be paid in any manner determined by the Directors. If paid by cheque it will be sent by mail addressed to the holder at his address in the Register, or addressed to such person and at such addresses as the holder may direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first on the Register in respect of such Shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company.

 

133.The Directors may determine that a dividend shall be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets (which may consist of the shares or securities of any other company) and may settle all questions concerning such distribution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Directors may fix the value of such specific assets, may determine that cash payment shall be made to some Shareholders in lieu of specific assets and may vest any such specific assets in trustees on such terms as the Directors think fit.

 

25

 

 

134.Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares, but if and for so long as nothing is paid up on any of the Shares dividends may be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares. No amount paid on a Share in advance of calls shall, while carrying interest, be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid on the Share.

 

135.If several Persons are registered as joint holders of any Share, any of them may give effective receipts for any dividend or other moneys payable on or in respect of the Share.

 

136.No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

139.The books of account shall be kept at the Registered Office, or at such other place or places as the Directors think fit, and shall always be open to the inspection of the Directors.

 

140.The Directors may from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Shareholders not being Directors, and no Shareholder (not being a Director) shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Directors or by Ordinary Resolution.

(ii)paying up in full unissued Shares or debentures of a nominal amount equal to that sum,

(c)make any arrangements they think fit to resolve a difficulty arising in the distribution of a capitalised reserve and in particular, without limitation, where Shares or debentures become distributable in fractions the Directors may deal with the fractions as they think fit;

(i)the allotment to the Shareholders respectively, credited as fully paid, of Shares or debentures to which they may be entitled on the capitalisation, or

 

(ii)the payment by the Company on behalf of the Shareholders (by the application of their respective proportions of the reserves resolved to be capitalised) of the amounts or part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing Shares,

 

and any such agreement made under this authority being effective and binding on all those Shareholders; and

 

(e)generally do all acts and things required to give effect to the resolution.

 

27

 

 

147.Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles, the Directors may resolve to capitalise an amount standing to the credit of reserves (including the share premium account, capital redemption reserve and profit and loss account) or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up in full unissued Shares to be allotted and issued to:

NON-RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

 

161.No Person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share upon any trust and the Company shall not, unless required by law, be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or (except only as otherwise provided by these Articles or as the Companies Act requires) any other right in respect of any Share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in each Shareholder registered in the Register.

 

WINDING UP

 

162.If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide amongst the Members in specie or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

 

163.If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them. If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise. This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

166.In lieu of or apart from closing the Register, the Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of the Shareholders and for the purpose of determining those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of any dividend the Directors may, at or within ninety calendar days prior to the date of declaration of such dividend, fix a subsequent date as the record date for such determination.

 

167.If the Register is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of those Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders or those Shareholders that are entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is posted or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Shareholders. When a determination of those Shareholders that are entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at a meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

 

REGISTRATION BY WAY OF CONTINUATION

 

168.The Company may by Special Resolution resolve to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands or such other jurisdiction in which it is for the time being incorporated, registered or existing.

2Assumptions

 

The following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter. In giving these opinions we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy, as of the date of this opinion letter, of the Director’s Certificate and the Certificate of Good Standing. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

 

2.1Copies of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies of, or in the final forms of, the originals.

 

2.2All signatures, initials and seals are genuine.

 

2.3There is nothing contained in the minute book or corporate records of the Company (which, other than the records set out in paragraphs 1.1 to 1.5, we have not inspected) which would or might affect the opinions set out below.

 

2.4There is nothing under any law (other than the law of the Cayman Islands), which would or might affect the opinions set out below.

 

3Opinion

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

 

3.1The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

3.2The authorised share capital of the Company is, and immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering of the Shares, will be US$50,000 divided into 399,966,500,000 Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each, and 100,033,500,000 Class B ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0000001 each.

 

3.3The issue and allotment of the Shares have been duly authorised and when allotted, issued and paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Shares will be legally issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders).

 

3.4The statements under the caption “Taxation” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects and that such statements constitute our opinion.

 

4Qualifications

 

In this opinion the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to shares in the Company, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder and in absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions, which are the subject of this opinion.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our name under the headings “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities”, “Taxation” and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Schedule 2: Limitations on the scope of the Opinion

 

The scope of the Opinion is limited as follows:

 

1.The description of UAE laws as referred to in paragraph 2.1 in this letter only set out the relevant UAE laws and regulations in a general sense and does not constitute a comprehensive legal opinion on such matter;

 

2.We expressly disclaim any of our liabilities in any part of the Registration Statement other than the description of UAE laws as referred to in paragraph 2.1 in this letter;

 

3.The Opinion is given based solely on the description of the business and activities of the Group set out in the Registration Statement and we express no opinion on the accuracy and completeness thereon;

4

 

 

Schedule 3: Qualifications

 

The Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

1UAE Law

 

UAE Law is not, in our opinion, capable of conclusive interpretation, on the basis (amongst other things) of the matters raised in this Schedule.

 

2.Judicial precedent

 

a.There is no general system of binding judicial precedent in the UAE and therefore the judgment of a court in one case will have no binding authority on any other court other than in certain limited circumstances. These circumstances are reference to a special panel of the Federal Supreme Court under Article 65 of the Federal Supreme Court Law pursuant to which the special panel may consider settled or conflicting principles of past court judgments. In theory, the decision of the special panel would be considered as authoritative by lower courts on matters within the federal court jurisdiction. In addition, within the Dubai court system, under the Dubai Judicial Authority Law a reference may be made to the General Commission of the Dubai Court of Cassation to settle new, highly complex or important legal points, or to resolve any conflicting principles from past Dubai court judgments. Again, in theory, the decisions of the General Commission will be treated as authoritative by the lower courts in Dubai.

 

b.There is no comprehensive and unified system of court reporting in the UAE. Decisions of the lower courts are not reported, and not all of the judgments of the Federal Supreme Court and the Courts of Cassation are published. There is also often a substantial delay in the official publication of any judgments and the decisions are redacted in the interests of confidentiality.

 

c.The UAE is in a period of legislative change. Important legislation has been enacted recently (including the Companies Law and UAE Law No. 9 of 2016 on bankruptcy) and many provisions have not been subject to final determination by the Courts.

 

3.Effective dates and knowledge

 

a.The effective date of legislation comprised in UAE Law may be the date of signature, the date of publication or another specified date. There is often a significant delay between the date of publication of legislation in the Official Gazette of the UAE federal government, or the Official Gazette of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the time it is readily available to the public.

 

b.Legislation comprised in UAE Law (including laws, decrees and other forms of resolution, circulars, orders and directives (having the force of law)) may not be published in the relevant Official Gazette, or may be published after the date on which it is stated to have come into effect. Legislation may be issued only to parties with a specific interest in the subject matter of the legislation, or in some cases not at all.

 

c.There may be legislation in effect (and having the force of law) in the UAE of which we are unaware.

 

5

 

 

4.Influence of Islam and custom

 

a.the UAE is an Islamic state. Article 7 of the UAE Constitution provides that “the Islamic Sharia shall be a main source of legislation in the union” (i.e. the UAE federation). Article 2 of the Civil Code provides that “the rules and principles of Islamic jurisprudence shall be relied upon in the understanding, construction and interpretation” of the provisions of the Civil Code. In addition, Article 75 of the Federal Supreme Court Law provides that “the Supreme Court shall apply the provisions of the Islamic Sharia and UAE laws and other laws enforced in the Emirate members of the Union which accord with the Islamic Sharia”. The application of a number of provisions of UAE Law (including the Civil Code) is subject to public order, which has an expansive definition including compliance with the fundamental principles of Sharia.

 

b.We express no opinions on the teachings of Islam or on the Islamic Sharia or on the consistency of UAE Law with Islam or the Islamic Sharia.

 

c.UAE Law relies on the application of custom where there is no relevant legislative provision and no agreement between the parties. Article 2 of the Commercial Code states that “in the absence of any particular agreement, the rules of commercial custom shall apply wherever no relevant provision is contained in this law or in other laws related to commercial matters”. However, custom will not be applied where it contradicts matters of public order or morals.

 

d.It is difficult to predict with certainty the outcome of any decision of the Courts which relies on the application of custom.

 

5.Arabic language

 

a.The language of promulgation of UAE Law is Arabic. Neither the UAE federal government, nor the government of Dubai or Abu Dhabi (or any governmental or regulatory body or institution thereof), publishes official translations of Laws in the English language, other than in certain specific sectors such as telecommunications regulations. In this letter, extracts of the Laws in English are taken from unofficial translations which are not definitive. The Courts would only reference legislation in the Arabic language in their judgments.

 

b.It may not be possible to accurately translate legal terminology from English into Arabic and vice versa. UAE legal concepts contained in UAE Law may not be the same as legal concepts referred (expressly or impliedly) to in the Transaction Documents under English law, or in this letter.

Exhibit 99.1

 

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS OF

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Purpose

 

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (this “Code”) contains general guidelines for the conduct of business of Ambitions Enterprise Management CO. L.L.C, a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), consistent with the highest standards of business ethics. To the extent where this Code requires a higher standard than required by commercial practice or applicable laws, rules or regulations, we shall adhere to these higher standards.

 

This Code applies to all the directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (which, unless the context otherwise requires, are collectively referred to as the “Company” in this Code). We refer to all persons covered by this Code as “Company employees” or simply “employees.” We also refer our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer as our “principal financial officers.”

 

Seeking Help and Information

 

This Code is not intended to be a comprehensive rulebook and cannot address every situation that you may face. If you feel uncomfortable about a situation or if you have any doubts whether it is consistent with the Company’s ethical standards, do seek help. We encourage you to first contact your supervisor for help. If your supervisor cannot answer your question or resolve your problem, or if you do not feel comfortable contacting your supervisor, you may contact the Compliance Officer of the Company, who shall be a person appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Si Li has been appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company as the Compliance Officer of the Company.  The Company will notify you if there is a change in the appointment of the Compliance Officer. You may remain anonymous and will not be required to reveal your identity in your communication to the Company.

 

Reporting Violations of the Code

 

All employees have a duty to report any known or suspected violation of this Code, including any violation of the laws, rules, regulations or policies that apply to the Company. If you know of or suspect a violation of this Code, immediately report the conduct to your supervisor. Your supervisor will contact the Compliance Officer, who will work with you and your supervisor to investigate the matter. If you do not feel comfortable reporting the matter to your supervisor or you do not get a satisfactory response, you may contact the Compliance Officer directly. Employees making a report need not leave their name or other personal information and reasonable efforts will be used to conduct the investigation that follows from the report in a manner that protects the confidentiality and anonymity of the employee submitting the report. All reports of known or suspected violations of the law or this Code will be handled sensitively and with discretion. Your supervisor, the Compliance Officer and the Company will protect your confidentiality to the extent possible, consistent with law and the Company’s need to investigate your report.

 

It is the Company’s policy that any employee who violates this Code will be subject to appropriate discipline, which may include termination of employment. This determination will be based upon the facts and circumstances of each situation. An employee accused of violating this Code will be given an opportunity to present his or her version of the events at issue prior to any determination of appropriate discipline. Employees who violate the law or this Code may expose themselves to substantial civil damages, criminal fines and prison terms. The Company may also face substantial fines and penalties, and many incur damage to its reputation and standing in the community. Your conduct as a representative of the Company, if it does not comply with the law or with this Code, can result in serious consequences for both you and the Company.

 

 

 

 

Policy Against Retaliation

 

The Company prohibits retaliation against an employee who, in good faith, seeks help or reports known or suspected violations. Any reprisal or retaliation against an employee because such employee, in good faith, sought help or filed a report will be subject to disciplinary action, including potential termination of employment.

 

Waivers of the Code

 

Waivers of this Code for employees may be granted only by an executive officer of the Company. Any waiver of this Code for our directors, executive officers or other principal financial officers may be granted only by our Board of Directors or the appropriate committee of our Board of Directors and will be disclosed to the public as required by law or the rules of Nasdaq.

 

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

Identifying Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

A conflict of interest may occur when an employee’s private interest interferes, or appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. You should avoid any private interest that influences your ability to act in the interests of the Company or that makes it difficult to perform your work objectively and effectively.

 

Identifying potential conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut. The following situations are examples of conflicts of interest:

 

●Outside Employment. No employee should be employed by, serve as a director of, or provide any services not in his or her capacity as a Company’s employee to a company that is a material customer, supplier, or competitor of the Company.

 

●Improper Personal Benefits. No employee should obtain any material (as to him or her) personal benefits or favors because of his or her position in the Company. Please see “Gifts and Entertainment” below for additional guidelines in this area.

 

●Financial Interests. No employee should have a significant financial interest (ownership or otherwise) in any company that is a material customer, supplier or competitor of the Company. A “significant financial interest” means (i) ownership of greater than 1% of the equity of a material customer, supplier or competitor or (ii) an investment in a material customer, supplier or competitor that represents more than 5% of the total assets of the employee.

 

●Loans or Other Financial Transactions. No employee should obtain loans or guarantees of personal obligations from, or enter into any other personal financial transaction with, any company that is a material customer, supplier or competitor of the Company. This guideline does not prohibit arms-length transactions with banks, brokerage firms or other financial institutions.

 

●Service on Boards and Committees. No employee should serve on a board of directors or trustees or on a committee of any entity (whether profit or not-for-profit) whose interests would reasonably be expected to be in conflict with those of the Company.

 

●Actions of Family Members. The actions of family members outside the workplace may also give rise to the conflicts of interest described above because they may influence an employee’s objectivity in the making of decisions on behalf of the Company. For the purposes of this Code, “family members” include your spouse or life-partner, brothers, sisters and parents, in-laws and children, whether such relationships are by blood or adoption.

 

For the purposes of this Code, a company is considered to be a “material” customer if that company has made payments to the Company in the past year in excess of US$100,000 or 10% of the customer’s gross revenues, whichever is greater. A company is considered as a “material” supplier if that company has received payments from the Company in the past year in excess of US$100,000 or 10% of the supplier’s gross revenues, whichever is greater. A company is considered as a “material” competitor if that company competes in the Company’s line of business and has annual gross revenues from such line of business in excess of US$500,000. If you are uncertain whether a particular company is a material customer, supplier or competitor, please contact the Compliance Officer for assistance.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

 

The Company requires employees to disclose any situations that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. If you suspect that you have a conflict of interest, or something that others could reasonably perceive as a conflict of interest, you must report it to your supervisor or the Compliance Officer. Your supervisor and the Compliance Officer will work with you to determine whether you have a conflict of interest and, if so, how best to address it. Although conflicts of interest are not automatically prohibited, they are not desirable and may only be waived as described in “Waivers of the Code” above.

 

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

 

As an employee of the Company, you have an obligation to advance the Company’s interests when the opportunity to do so arises. If you discover or are presented with a business opportunity through the use of corporate property, information, or because of your position in the Company, you should first present the business opportunity to the Company before pursuing the opportunity in your individual capacity. No employee may use corporate property, information, or his or her position in the Company for personal gain or in a manner that may compete with the Company.

 

You should disclose to your supervisor the terms and conditions of each business opportunity covered under this Code that you wish to pursue. Your supervisor will contact the Compliance Officer and the appropriate management personnel to determine whether the Company wishes to pursue the business opportunity. If the Company waives its right to pursue the business opportunity, you may pursue the business opportunity on the same terms and conditions as originally proposed and consistent with the other ethical guidelines set forth in this Code.

 

Confidential Information and Company’s Property

 

Employees have access to a variety of confidential information while being employed at the Company. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or, if disclosed, harmful to the Company or its customers. Each employee has a duty to respect and safeguard the confidentiality of the Company’s information and the information of our suppliers and customers, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. In addition, you must refrain from using any confidential information from any previous employment if, in doing so, you could reasonably be expected to breach your duty of confidentiality to your former employers. An employee’s obligation to protect confidential information continues after he or she leaves the Company. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information could cause competitive harm to the Company and/or its customers and could result in legal liability to you and the Company.

 

Employees also have a duty to protect the Company’s intellectual property and other business assets. The intellectual property, business systems and the security of the Company are critical to the Company’s business.

 

Any questions or concerns on whether the disclosure of Company information is legally mandated should be promptly referred to the Compliance Officer.

 

Safeguarding Confidential Information and Company’s Property

 

Care must be taken to safeguard and protect confidential information and the Company’s property. Accordingly, the following measures should be adhered to:

 

●The Company’s employees should conduct their business and social activities so as not to risk inadvertent disclosure of confidential information. For example, when not in use, confidential information should be securely stored. Besides, review of confidential documents or discussion of confidential subjects in public places (e.g., airplanes, trains, taxis, buses, etc.) should not be conducted so as to prevent being overheard or accessed by unauthorized persons.

 

●When in the Company’s offices, confidential matters should not be discussed within hearing range of visitors or others not working on such matters.

 

3

 

 

●Confidential matters should not be discussed with other employees not working on such matters or with friends or relatives, including those living in the same household as a Company’s employee.

 

●The Company’s employees are only to access, use, and disclose confidential information that is necessary for them to perform their duties. They are not to disclose confidential information to other employees or contractors at the Company unless it is necessary for those employees or contractors to have such confidential information in the course of their duties.

 

  ● The Company’s files, personal computers, networks, software, internet access, internet browser programs, emails, voice mails, and other business equipment (e.g., desks and cabinets) and resources are provided for business use, and they are the exclusive property of the Company. Misuse of such Company’s property is not tolerable.

 

COMPETITION AND FAIR DEALING

 

All employees are obligated to deal fairly with fellow employees and with the Company’s customers, suppliers and competitors. Employees should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice.

 

Relationships with Customers

 

Our business success depends upon our ability to foster lasting customer relationships. The Company is committed to dealing with customers fairly, honestly, and with integrity. Specifically, you should keep the following guidelines in mind when dealing with customers:

 

●Information we supply to customers should be accurate and complete to the best of our knowledge. Employees should not deliberately misrepresent information to customers.

 

●Employees should not refuse to sell, service, or maintain products the Company has produced simply because a customer is buying products from another supplier.

 

●Customer entertainment should not exceed the reasonable and customary business practice of the Company. Employees should not provide entertainment or other benefits that could be viewed as an inducement to or a reward for customer’s purchase decisions. Please see “Gifts and Entertainment” below for additional guidelines in this area.

 

Relationships with Suppliers

 

The Company deals fairly and honestly with its suppliers. This means that our relationships with suppliers are based on price, quality, service, and reputation, among other factors. Employees dealing with suppliers should carefully guard their objectivity. Specifically, no employee should accept or solicit any personal benefit from a supplier or potential supplier that might compromise, or appear to compromise, their objective assessment of the supplier’s products and prices. Employees can give or accept promotional items of nominal value or moderately scaled entertainment within the limits of reasonable and customary business practice of the Company. Please see “Gifts and Entertainment” below for additional guidelines in this area.

 

Relationships with Competitors

 

The Company is committed to free and open competition in the marketplace. Employees should avoid actions that would be contrary to laws governing competitive practices in the marketplace, including antitrust laws. Such actions include misappropriation and/or misuse of a competitor’s confidential information or making false statements about the competitor’s business and business practices.

PROTECTION AND USE OF COMPANY’S ASSETS

 

Employees should protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use for legitimate business purposes only. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability. The use of Company funds or assets, whether or not for personal gain, for any unlawful or improper purpose is prohibited.

 

To ensure the protection and proper use of the Company’s assets, each employee should:

 

●exercise reasonable care to prevent theft, damage or misuse of Company’s property;

 

●report the actual or suspected theft, damage or misuse of Company’s property to a supervisor;

 

●use the Company’s telephone system, other electronic communication services, written materials and other property primarily for business-related purposes;

 

●safeguard all electronic programs, data, communications and written materials from inadvertent access by others; and

 

●use Company’s property only for legitimate business purposes, as authorized in connection with your job responsibilities.

 

Employees should be aware that Company’s property includes all data and communications transmitted or received to or by, or contained in, the Company’s electronic or telephonic systems, as well as all written communications. Employees and other users of Company’s property should have no expectation of privacy with respect to these communications and data. To the extent permitted by law, the Company has the ability, and reserves the right, to monitor all electronic and telephonic communication. These communications may also be subject to disclosure to law enforcement or government officials.

 

GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

 

The act of giving and receiving of gifts is a common business practice. Appropriate business gifts and entertainment are welcome courtesies designed to build relationships and understanding among business partners. However, gifts and entertainment should not compromise, or appear to compromise, your ability to make objective and fair business decisions.

 

It is your responsibility to use good judgment in this area. As a general rule, you may give or receive gifts or entertainment to or from customers or suppliers only if the gift or entertainment would not be viewed as an inducement to or reward for any particular business decision. All gifts and entertainment expenses should be properly accounted for on expense reports. The following specific examples may be helpful:

 

●Meals and Entertainment. You may occasionally accept or give meals, refreshments or other entertainment if:

 

●The items are of reasonable value;

 

●The purpose of the meeting or attendance at the event is business related; and

 

●The expenses would be paid by the Company as a reasonable business expense if not paid for by another party.

 

Entertainment of reasonable value may include food and tickets for sporting and cultural events if they are generally offered to other customers, suppliers or vendors.

 

●Advertising and Promotional Materials. You may occasionally accept or give advertising or promotional materials of nominal value.

 

●Personal Gifts. You may accept or give personal gifts of reasonable value that are related to recognized special occasions, such as a graduation, promotion, new job, wedding, retirement or a holiday. A gift is also acceptable if it is based on a family or personal relationship and unrelated to the business involved between the individuals.

 

5

 

 

●Gifts Rewarding Service or Accomplishment. You may accept a gift from a civic, charitable or religious organization specifically related to your service or accomplishment.

 

You must be particularly careful that gifts and entertainment are not construed as bribes, kickbacks, or other improper payments. See “The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act” below for a more detailed discussion of our policies on giving or receiving gifts related to business transactions.

 

You should make every effort to refuse or return a gift that is beyond these permissible guidelines. If it would be inappropriate to refuse a gift or you are unable to return a gift, you should promptly report the gift to your supervisor. Your supervisor will bring the gift to the attention of the Compliance Officer, who may require you to donate the gift to an appropriate community organization. If you have any questions on whether it is permissible to accept a gift or something else of value, contact your supervisor or the Compliance Officer for additional guidance.

 

COMPANY RECORDS

 

Accurate and reliable records are crucial to our business. Our records are the basis of our earnings statements, financial reports and other disclosures to the public and guide our business decision-making and strategic planning. Company records include booking information, payroll, timecards, travel and expense reports, e-mails, accounting and financial data, measurement and performance records, electronic data files and all other records maintained in the ordinary course of our business.

 

All Company records must be complete, accurate and reliable in all material respects. Undisclosed or unrecorded funds, payments or receipts are inconsistent with our business practices and are prohibited. You are responsible for understanding and complying with our record-keeping policy. Ask your supervisor if you have any questions.

 

ACCURACY OF FINANCIAL REPORTS AND OTHER PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS

 

As a public company we are subject to various securities laws, regulations and reporting obligations. These laws, regulations and obligations and our policies require the disclosure of accurate and complete information regarding the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Inaccurate, incomplete or untimely reporting will not be tolerated and can severely damage the Company’s reputation and integrity, and result in legal liability.

 

It is essential that the Company’s financial records, including all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) be accurate and timely. Accordingly, in addition to adhering to the conflict of interest policy and other policies and guidelines under this Code, the principal financial officers and other senior financial officers must take special care to exhibit integrity at all times and to instill this value within their organizations. In particular, these senior officers must ensure their conduct is honest and ethical that they abide by all public disclosure requirements by providing full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures, and that they comply with all other applicable laws and regulations. These financial officers must also understand and strictly comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and all standards, laws and regulations for accounting and financial reporting of transactions, estimates and forecasts.

 

In addition, U.S. federal securities law requires the Company to maintain proper internal books and records and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. The SEC has supplemented the statutory requirements by adopting rules that prohibit (1) any person from falsifying records or accounts subject to the above requirements and (2) officers or directors from making any materially false, misleading, or incomplete statement to an accountant in connection with an audit or any filing with the SEC. These provisions reflect the SEC’s intent to discourage officers, directors, and other persons with access to the Company’s books and records from taking action that might result in the communication of materially misleading financial information to the investing public.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS

 

Each employee has an obligation to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company’s operations. These include, without limitation, laws covering bribery and kickbacks, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, information privacy, insider trading, illegal political contributions, antitrust prohibitions, foreign corrupt practices, offering or receiving gratuities, environmental hazards, employment discrimination or harassment, occupational health and safety, false or misleading financial information or misuse of corporate assets. You are expected to understand and comply with all laws, rules and regulations that apply to your job position. If any doubt exists about whether a course of action is lawful, you should seek advice from your supervisor or the Compliance Officer.

 

6

 

 

COMPLIANCE WITH INSIDER TRADING LAWS

 

The Company has an insider trading policy, which may be obtained from the Compliance Officer. The following is a summary of some of the general principles relevant to insider trading, and should be read in conjunction with the aforementioned specific policy.

 

Company employees are prohibited from trading in shares or other securities of the Company while in possession of material, non-public information about the Company. In addition, Company employees are prohibited from recommending, “tipping” or suggesting that anyone else buy or sell shares or other securities of the Company on the basis of material, non-public information. Company employees who obtain material non-public information about another company in the course of their employment are prohibited from trading in shares or securities of the other company while in possession of such information or “tipping” others to trade on the basis of such information. Violation of insider trading laws can result in severe fines and criminal penalties, as well as disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including termination of employment.

 

Information is “non-public” if it has not been made generally available to the public by means of a press release or other means of widespread distribution. Information is “material” if a reasonable investor would consider it important in a decision to buy, hold or sell stock or other securities. As a rule of thumb, any information that would affect the value of stock or other securities should be considered material. Examples of information that is generally considered “material” include:

 

●Financial results or forecasts, or any information that indicates the Company’s financial results may exceed or fall short of forecasts or expectations;

 

●Important new products or services;

 

●Pending or contemplated acquisitions or dispositions, including mergers, tender offers or joint venture proposals;

 

●Possible management changes or changes of control;

 

●Pending or contemplated public or private sales of debt or equity securities;

 

●Acquisition or loss of a significant customer or contract;

 

●Significant write-offs;

 

●Initiation or settlement of significant litigation; and

 

●Changes in the Company’s auditors or a notification from its auditors that the Company may no longer rely on the auditor’s report.

 

The laws against insider trading are specific and complex. Any questions about information you may possess or about any dealings you have had in the Company’s securities should be promptly brought to the attention of the Compliance Officer.

 

PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS AND PREVENTION OF SELECTIVE DISCLOSURE

 

Public Communications Generally

 

The Company places a high value on its credibility and reputation in the community. What is written or said about the Company in the news media and investment community directly impacts our reputation, positively or negatively. Our policy is to provide timely, accurate and complete information in response to public requests (media, analysts, etc.), consistent with our obligations to maintain the confidentiality of competitive and proprietary information and to prevent selective disclosure of market-sensitive financial data. To ensure compliance with this policy, all news media or other public requests for information regarding the Company should be directed to the Company’s Investor Relations Department. The Investor Relations Department will work with you and the appropriate personnel to evaluate and coordinate a response to the request.

 

7

 

 

Prevention of Selective Disclosure

 

Preventing selective disclosure is necessary to comply with United States securities laws and to preserve the reputation and integrity of the Company as well as that of all persons affiliated with it. “Selective disclosure” occurs when any person provides potentially market-moving information to selected persons before the news is available to the investing public generally. Selective disclosure is a crime under United States law and the penalties for violating the law are severe.

 

The following guidelines have been established to avoid improper selective disclosure. Every employee is required to follow these procedures:

 

●All contact by the Company with investment analysts, the press and/or members of the media shall be made through the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or persons designated by them (collectively, the “Media Contacts”).

 

●Other than the Media Contacts, no officer, director or employee shall provide any information regarding the Company or its business to any investment analyst or member of the press or media.

 

●All inquiries from third parties, such as industry analysts or members of the media, about the Company or its business should be directed to a Media Contact. All presentations to the investment community regarding the Company will be made by us under the direction of a Media Contact.

 

●Other than the Media Contacts, any employee who is asked a question regarding the Company or its business by a member of the press or media shall respond with “No comment” and forward the inquiry to a Media Contact.

 

These procedures do not apply to the routine process of making previously released information regarding the Company available upon inquiries made by investors, investment analysts and members of the media.

 

Please contact the Compliance Officer if you have any questions about the scope or application of the Company’s policies regarding selective disclosure.

 

THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT

 

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

 

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”) prohibits the Company and its employees and agents from offering or giving money or any other item of value to win or retain business or to influence any act or decision of any governmental official, political party, candidate for political office or official of a public international organization. Stated more concisely, the FCPA prohibits the payment of bribes, kickbacks or other inducements to foreign officials. This prohibition also extends to payments to a sales representative or agent if there is a reason to believe that the payment will be used indirectly for a prohibited payment to foreign officials. Violation of the FCPA is a crime that can result in severe fines and criminal penalties, as well as disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including termination of employment.

 

Certain small facilitation payments to foreign officials may be permissible under the FCPA if customary in the country or locality and intended to secure routine governmental action. Governmental action is “routine” if it is ordinarily and commonly performed by a foreign official and does not involve the exercise of discretion. For instance, “routine” functions would include setting up a telephone line or expediting a shipment through customs. To ensure legal compliance, all facilitation payments must receive prior written approval from the Compliance Officer and must be clearly and accurately reported as a business expense.

ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY

 

The Company is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for its employees and avoiding adverse impact and injury to the environment and the communities in which we do business. Company’s employees must comply with all applicable environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and Company’s standards. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws, regulations and policies that are relevant to your job. Failure to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations can result in civil and criminal liability against you and the Company, as well as disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including termination of employment. You should contact the Compliance Officer if you have any questions about the laws, regulations and policies that apply to you.

 

Environment

 

All Company’s employees should strive to conserve resources and reduce waste and emissions through recycling and other energy conservation measures. You have a responsibility to promptly report any known or suspected violations of environmental laws or any events that may result in a discharge or emission of hazardous materials. Employees whose jobs involve manufacturing have a special responsibility to safeguard the environment. Such employees should be particularly alert to the storage, disposal and transportation of waste, and handling of toxic materials and emissions into the land, water or air.

 

Health and Safety

 

The Company is committed not only to complying with all relevant health and safety laws, but also to conducting business in a manner that protects the safety of its employees. All employees are required to comply with all applicable health and safety laws, regulations and policies relevant to their jobs. If you have a concern about unsafe conditions or tasks that present a risk of injury to you, please report these concerns immediately to your supervisor or the Human Resources Department.

 

EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

 

The Company pursues fair employment practices in every aspect of its business. The following is intended to be a summary of our employment policies and procedures. Copies of our detailed policies are available from the Human Resources Department. Company employees must comply with all applicable labor and employment laws, including anti-discrimination laws and laws related to freedom of association, privacy and collective bargaining. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws, regulations and policies that are relevant to your job. Failure to comply with labor and employment laws can result in civil and criminal liability against you and the Company, as well as disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including termination of employment. You should contact the Compliance Officer or the Human Resources Department if you have any questions about the laws, regulations and policies that apply to you.

 

9

 

 

Harassment and Discrimination

 

The Company is committed to providing equal opportunity and fair treatment to all individuals on the basis of merit, without discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, gender (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status or other characteristic protected by law. The Company prohibits harassment in any form, whether physical or verbal and whether committed by supervisors, non-supervisory personnel or non-employees. Harassment may include, but is not limited to, offensive sexual flirtations, unwanted sexual advances or propositions, verbal abuse, sexually or racially degrading words, or the display in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects or pictures.

 

If you have any complaints about discrimination or harassment, report such conduct to your supervisor or the Human Resources Department. All complaints will be treated with sensitivity and discretion. Your supervisor, the Human Resources Department and the Company will protect your confidentiality to the extent possible, consistent with law and the Company’s need to investigate your concern. Where our investigation uncovers harassment or discrimination, we will take prompt corrective action, which may include disciplinary action by the Company, up to and including, termination of employment. The Company strictly prohibits retaliation against an employee who, in good faith, files a complaint.

 

Any member of management who has reason to believe that an employee has been the victim of harassment or discrimination or who receives a report of alleged harassment or discrimination is required to report it to the Human Resources Department immediately.

 

CONCLUSION

Exhibit 99.3

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

OF

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C

 

This Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) was adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), on February 7, 2025, and shall become effective upon the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Company’s initial public offering.

 

I. Purpose

 

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audits of the financial statements of the Company. The Committee assists the Board with its oversight responsibilities regarding: (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; (ii) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence; and (iv) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor. The Committee shall prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F.

 

In addition to the powers and responsibilities expressly delegated to the Committee in this Charter, the Committee may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities delegated to it by the Board from time to time consistent with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”). The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise shall be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without requirement of Board approval, and any decision made by the Committee (including any decision to exercise or refrain from exercising any of the powers delegated to the Committee hereunder) shall be at the Committee’s sole discretion. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee’s responsibilities are limited to oversight. Although the Committee has the responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosure are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable laws, rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of the Company’s management (“Management”) and the independent auditor.

 

Furthermore, auditing literature, particularly Statement of Accounting Standards No. 71, defines the term “review” to include a particular set of required procedures to be undertaken by independent auditors. The members of the Committee are not independent auditors, and the term “review” as used in this Charter is not intended to have that meaning and should not be interpreted to suggest that the Committee members can or should follow the procedures required of auditors performing reviews of financial statements.

 

II. Membership

 

The Committee shall consist of at least three members of the Board, as determined by the Board. Each Committee member shall be financially literate as determined by the Board in its business judgment or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Committee. Members of the Committee must (i) not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three years; and (ii) be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. Members of the Committee are not required to be engaged in the accounting and auditing profession and, consequently, some members may not be expert in financial matters, or in matters involving auditing or accounting. However, at least one member of the Committee must have accounting or related financial management expertise as determined by the Board in its business judgment. In addition, at least one member of the Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition adopted by the SEC or shall possess financial sophistication within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, or the Company shall disclose in its annual report on Form 20-F required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the reasons why at least one member of the Committee is not an “audit committee financial expert.”

 

 

 

 

At least a majority of the members of the Committee shall be independent within the meaning of Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and will satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act within the 90-day period after the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Effective Time”). All Committee members must satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act beginning from the first anniversary of the Effective Time. No Committee member may simultaneously serve on the audit committee of more than two other public companies, unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Committee and such determination is disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F.

 

The members of the Committee, including the chairperson (the “Chair”) of the Committee, shall be appointed by the Board. Committee members may be removed from the Committee, with or without cause, by the Board.

 

III. Meetings and Procedures

 

The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with any provisions of the Articles that are applicable to the Committee.

 

The Committee shall meet at least once during each fiscal quarter and more frequently as the Committee deems desirable. Except as required by law, all matters shall be approved by a simple majority of all the Committee members.

 

The Committee shall meet separately and periodically with Management, with the internal auditor, and with the independent auditor. Any meeting of the Committee may be conducted in person or via telephone conference or similar communications equipment where every meeting participant can hear each other.

 

All non-Management directors that are not members of the Committee may attend and observe meetings of the Committee, but shall not participate in any discussion or deliberation unless invited to do so by the Committee, and in any event shall not be entitled to vote. The Committee may, at its discretion, include in its meetings members of the Company’s Management, representatives of the independent auditor, the internal auditor, and any other financial personnel employed or retained by the Company or any other persons whose presence the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may also exclude from its meetings any persons it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, any non-Management director that is not a member of the Committee.

 

The Committee may retain any independent counsel, experts, or advisors (accounting, financial, or otherwise) that the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate. The Committee may also utilize the services of the Company’s regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review, or attestation services, for payment of compensation to any counsel, experts, or advisors employed by the Committee and for ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

 

The Committee may conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to the Committee.

 

IV. Powers and Responsibilities

 

1. Appointment and Oversight. The Committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, removal and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of any disagreements between Management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review, or attestation services for the Company, and the independent auditor shall report directly to the Committee.

 

2. Pre-Approval of Services. Before the independent auditor is engaged by the Company or its subsidiaries to render audit or non-audit services, the Committee shall pre-approve the engagement. Committee pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Committee regarding the Company’s engagement of the independent auditor, provided that the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Committee is informed of each service provided and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Committee’s responsibilities under the Exchange Act to the Management. The Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided that such pre-approvals are presented to the Committee at a subsequent meeting. If the Committee elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the Committee must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Committee pre-approval of non-audit services (other than review and attestation services) also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC.

 

2

 

 

3. Independence of Independent Auditor. The Committee shall, at least annually, review the independence and quality control procedures of the independent auditor and the experience and qualifications of the independent auditor’s senior personnel that are providing audit services to the Company. In conducting its review:

 

(i) The Committee shall obtain and review a report prepared by the independent auditor describing (a) the auditing firm’s internal quality-control procedures, and (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the auditing firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the auditing firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues;

 

(ii) The Committee shall ensure that the independent auditor prepare and deliver, at least annually, a written statement delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Company. The Committee shall actively engage in a dialogue with the independent auditor with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that, in the view of the Committee, may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditor. If the Committee determines that further inquiry is advisable, the Committee shall take appropriate action in response to the independent auditor’s report to satisfy itself of the auditor’s independence;

 

(iii) The Committee shall confirm with the independent auditor that the independent auditor is in compliance with the partner rotation requirements established by the SEC; and

 

(iv) The Committee shall, if applicable, consider whether the independent auditor’s provision of any permitted information technology service or other non-audit service to the Company is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditor.

 

4. Meetings with Management, the Independent Auditor, and the Internal Auditor.

 

(i) The Committee shall meet with Management, the independent auditor, and the internal auditor in connection with each annual audit to discuss the scope of the audit, the procedures to be followed, and the staffing of the audit.

 

(ii) The Committee shall review and discuss with Management and the independent auditor any material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), and other relationships of the Company with unconsolidated entities of which the Committee is made aware that do not appear on the financial statements of the Company and that may have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses.

 

(iii) The Committee shall review and discuss the annual audited financial statements with Management and the independent auditor, including the Company’s disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F.

 

3

 

 

5. Separate Meetings with the Independent Auditor.

 

(i) The Committee shall review with the independent auditor any problems or difficulties the independent auditor may have encountered during the course of the audit work, including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to required information or any significant disagreements with Management and Management’s responses to such matters.

 

(ii) The Committee shall discuss with the independent auditor the report that such auditor is required to make to the Committee regarding: (a) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (b) all alternative treatments within U.S. GAAP for policies and practices related to material items that have been discussed among Management and the independent auditor, including the ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent auditor; and (c) all other material written communications between the independent auditor and Management, such as any Management letter, Management representation letter, reports on observations and recommendations on internal controls, independent auditor’s engagement letter, independent auditor’s independence letter, schedule of unadjusted audit differences and a listing of adjustments and reclassifications not recorded, if any.

 

(iii) The Committee shall discuss with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as then in effect.

 

6. Recommendation to Include Financial Statements in Annual Report. The Committee shall, based on the review and discussions in paragraphs 4(iii) and 5(iii) above, and based on the disclosures received from the independent auditor regarding its independence and discussions with the auditor regarding such independence pursuant to subparagraph 3(ii) above, determine whether to recommend to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year subject to the audit.

 

7. The Committee shall discuss with Management and the independent auditor the Company’s earnings press releases (with particular focus on any “pro forma” or “adjusted” non-GAAP information), as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. The Committee’s discussion in this regard may be general in nature (i.e., discussion of the types of information to be disclosed and the type of presentation to be made) and need not take place in advance of each earnings release or each instance in which the Company may provide earnings guidance.

 

8. The Committee shall review all related party transactions by the Company (including any of its subsidiaries and consolidated affiliates) on an ongoing basis and all such transactions must be approved by the Committee in advance. All related party transactions should be disclosed in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The Committee recognizes that there are situations where the Company may have to obtain products or services of a nature, quantity or quality, or on other terms, that are not readily available from alternative sources or when the Company provides products or services to related persons on an arm’s length basis on terms comparable to those provided to unrelated third parties.

 

a. The Committee shall consider all of the relevant facts and circumstances available to the Committee, including (if applicable), but not limited to:

 

●The benefits to the Company;

●The availability of other sources for comparable products or services;

 

●The terms of the transaction; and

 

●The terms available to unrelated third parties and employees generally.

 

b. No member of the Committee shall participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related party transactions with respect to which such member or any of his or her immediate family members is the related person. The Board shall approve only those related party transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as the Committee determines in good faith.

 

9. The Committee shall discuss with Management and the independent auditor any correspondence from or with regulators or governmental agencies, any employee complaints or any published reports that raise material issues regarding the Company’s financial statements, financial reporting process, accounting policies, or internal audit function.

L.L.C, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), on February 7, 2025, and shall become effective upon the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Company’s initial public offering.

 

I. Purpose

 

The purpose of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) is (i) to assist the Board in discharging the Board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s executives, including reviewing and evaluating and, if necessary, revising the compensation plans, policies, and programs of the Company adopted by management, and (ii) to review and approve the disclosure of executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The Committee shall ensure that compensation programs are designed to encourage high performance, promote accountability, and assure that employee interests are aligned with the interests of the Company’s shareholders.

 

In addition to the powers and responsibilities expressly delegated to the Committee in this Charter, the Committee may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities delegated to it by the Board from time to time consistent with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”). The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise shall be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without the requirement of Board approval, and any decision made by the Committee (including any decision to exercise or refrain from exercising any of the powers and responsibilities delegated to the Committee hereunder) shall be at the Committee’s sole discretion. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it.

 

II. Membership

 

The Committee shall be composed of three or more directors, as determined by the Board, none of whom shall be an employee of the Company and each of whom (i) shall satisfy the “independence” requirements of Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10C-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, (ii) shall be a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) shall be an “outside director” under the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (iv) shall have experience, in the business judgment of the Board, that would be helpful in addressing the matters delegated to the Committee, and shall not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fees (the “Compensatory Fees”) from the Company or any subsidiary thereof.

In determining whether a director is eligible to serve on the Committee, the Board shall consider all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to the Company which is material to such director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Committee member, including but not limited to, whether the director is affiliated with the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any affiliate of a subsidiary of the Company.

 

At least a majority of the members of the Committee shall satisfy the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules within the 90-day period after the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Effective Time”), and all of the members of the Committee shall satisfy the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules beginning from the first anniversary of the Effective Time.

 

 

 

The members of the Committee, including the chairperson of the Committee (the “Chair”), shall be appointed by the Board on the recommendation of the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee.

If one Committee member ceases to be independent in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10C-1 due to circumstances beyond the member’s reasonable control, that person, with notice by the Company to Nasdaq or the applicable national security association, may remain a compensation committee member of the Company until the earlier of its next annual shareholders meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the member to be no longer independent.

 

III. Meetings and Procedures

 

The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with any provisions of the Articles that are applicable to the Committee.

 

The Committee shall meet on a regularly scheduled basis at least once per year and more frequently as and when the Committee deems necessary or desirable. A meeting of the Committee may be conducted in person or via telephone conference where every meeting participant can hear each other. Except as required by law, all matters shall be approved by a simple majority of all the Committee members.

 

All non-management directors who are not members of the Committee may attend and observe meetings of the Committee, but shall not participate in any discussion or deliberation unless invited to do so by the Committee, and in any event shall not be entitled to vote. The Committee may, at its discretion, include in its meetings members of the Company’s management or any other person whose presence the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chief executive officer may not be present during voting or deliberations concerning his or her compensation, and the Committee may exclude from its meetings any persons it deems appropriate, including but not limited to any non-management director who is not a member of the Committee.

 

The Chair shall report to the Board regarding the activities of the Committee at appropriate times and as otherwise requested by the Chairman of the Board.

I. Purpose

 

The purpose of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) is to assist the Board in discharging the Board’s responsibilities regarding:

 

1. identification and recommendation of qualified director nominees to be elected at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected);

 

2. identification and recommendation of qualified candidates to fill any vacancies on the Board;

 

3. annual review of the composition of the Board in light of the characteristics of independence, qualification, experience and availability of the Board members;

 

4. oversight of the evaluation of the Board; and

 

5. monitoring of compliance with the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal rules and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

In addition to the powers and responsibilities expressly delegated to the Committee in this Charter, the Committee may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities delegated to it by the Board from time to time consistent with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended from time to time (the “Articles”). The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise may be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without Board approval, and any decision made by the Committee (including any decision to exercise or refrain from exercising any of the powers delegated to the Committee hereunder) shall be at the Committee’s sole discretion. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee has and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it.

 

II. Membership

 

The Committee shall be comprised of three or more members of the Board, as determined by the Board, each of whom has experience, in the business judgment of the Board, that would be helpful in addressing the matters delegated to the Committee. In addition, at least a majority of the members of the Committee shall satisfy the independence requirements of Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules within the 90-day period after the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “Effective Time”), and all of the members of the Committee shall satisfy the independence requirements of Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules beginning from the first anniversary of the Effective Time.

 

The members of the Committee, including the chairperson of the Committee (the “Chair”), shall be appointed by the Board. Committee members may be removed from the Committee, with or without cause, by the Board. Any action duly taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective, whether or not the members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have satisfied the requirements for membership provided herein.

 

III. Meetings and Procedures

 

The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with any provisions of the Articles that are applicable to the Committee.

 

 

 

 

The Committee shall meet on a regularly scheduled basis, at least twice per year and more frequently as and when the Committee deems necessary or desirable. A meeting of the Committee may be conducted in person or via telephone conference where every meeting participant can hear each other. Except as required by law, all matters shall be approved by a simple majority of all the Committee members.

 

All non-management directors who are not members of the Committee may attend and observe meetings of the Committee but shall not participate in any discussion or deliberation unless invited to do so by the Committee, and in any event shall not be entitled to vote. The Committee may, at its discretion, include in its meetings members of the Company’s management, or any other person whose presence the Committee believes to be desirable and appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may exclude from its meetings any persons, including any non-management director, who is not a member of the Committee.

 

The Committee may retain any independent counsel, experts or advisors that the Committee believes to be desirable and appropriate. The Committee may also use the services of the Company’s regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to any such persons employed by the Committee and for ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties. The Committee shall have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to identify director candidates, including sole authority to approve such search firm’s fees and other retention terms.

 

The Chair shall report to the Board regarding the activities of the Committee at appropriate times and as otherwise requested by the Chairman of the Board.

 

IV. Duties and Responsibilities

 

1. (a) At an appropriate time prior to each annual meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected or reelected, the Committee shall recommend to the Board for nomination by the Board such candidates as the Committee, in the exercise of its judgment, has found to be well qualified and willing and available to serve.

 

(b) At an appropriate time after a vacancy arises on the Board or a director advises the Board of his or her intention to resign, the Committee shall recommend to the Board for appointment by the Board to fill such vacancy, such candidate as the Committee, in the exercise of its judgment, has found to be well qualified and willing and available to serve.

 

2. The Committee shall annually review the performance of each incumbent director and shall consider the results of such evaluation when determining whether or not to recommend the nomination of such director for an additional term.

 

3. The Committee shall oversee the Board in the Board’s annual review of its own performance and the performance of management and will make appropriate recommendations to improve performance.

 

4. The Committee shall consider, prepare and recommend to the Board such policies and procedures with respect to corporate governance matters as may be required or required to be disclosed pursuant to any rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise considered to be desirable and appropriate in the discretion of the Committee

 

5. The Committee shall evaluate its own performance on an annual basis, including its compliance with this Charter, and provide the Board with any recommendations for changes in procedures or policies governing the Committee. The Committee shall conduct such evaluation and review in such manner as it deems appropriate.

 

6. The Committee shall periodically report to the Board on its findings and actions.

 

7. The Committee shall review and reassess this Charter at least annually and submit any recommended changes to the Board for its consideration.

 

V. Delegation of Duties

 

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Committee shall be entitled to delegate any or all of its responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Committee, to the extent consistent with the Articles and applicable law and rules of the markets in which the Company’s securities then trade.

Re: AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C
  Amended Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
  Filed on March 25, 2024
  File No. 377-07133
  Request for Waiver and Representation under Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), is submitting this letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in connection with the Company’s amended draft registration statement on Form F-1 filed on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering and listing of the Company’s ordinary shares.

 

The Company has included in the Registration Statement its audited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the two fiscal years then ended, and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

The Company respectfully requests that the Commission waive the requirement of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which states that in the case of a company’s initial public offering, the registration statement on Form F-1 must contain audited financial statements of a date not older than 12 months from the date of the offering (the “12-Month Requirement”). See also Division of Corporation Finance, Financial Reporting Manual, Section 6220.3.

 

The Company is submitting this waiver request pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which provides that the Commission will waive the 12-Month Requirement “in cases where the company is able to represent adequately to us that it is not required to comply with this requirement in any other jurisdiction outside the United States and that complying with this requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.” See also the 2004 release entitled International Reporting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance (available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/internatl/cfirdissues1104.htm) by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission (the “Staff”) at Section III.B.c, in which the Staff notes that:

 

“the instruction indicates that the staff will waive the 12-month requirement where it is not applicable in the registrant’s other filing jurisdictions and is impracticable or involves undue hardship. As a result, we expect that the vast majority of IPOs will be subject only to the 15-month rule. The only times that we anticipate audited financial statements will be filed under the 12-month rule are when the registrant must comply with the rule in another jurisdiction, or when those audited financial statements are otherwise readily available.”

 

 

 

 

In connection with this waiver request, the Company hereby represents to the Commission that:

 

1.The Company is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction.

 

2.The Company is not required by any jurisdiction outside the United States to prepare consolidated financial statements audited under any generally accepted auditing standards for any interim period.

 

3.Full compliance with Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F at present is impracticable and involves undue hardship for the Company.

 

4.The Company does not anticipate that its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 will be available until May 15, 2024.

 

5.In no event will the Company seek effectiveness of the Registration Statement if its audited financial statements are older than 15 months at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

The Company will file this letter as an exhibit to the Amended Draft Registration Statement pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F.

 

  Very truly yours,
   
  AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C

Exhibit 99.10

 

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C

the “Company”

COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY

Effective Date: February 7, 2025

 

In accordance with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Exchange Act Rule 10D-1, and the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Exchange”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has adopted this Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Policy”).

 

Capitalized terms used in the Policy are defined in Section I below. The application of the Policy to Executive Officers is not discretionary, except to the limited extent provided in Section G below and applies without regard to whether an Executive Officer was at fault.

 

A.Persons Covered by the Policy

 

The Policy is binding and enforceable against all Executive Officers. Each Executive Officer will be required to sign and return to the Company an acknowledgement that such Executive Officer will be bound by the terms and comply with the Policy. The failure to obtain such acknowledgement will have no impact on the applicability or enforceability of the Policy.

 

B.Administration of the Policy

 

The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) has full-delegated authority to administer the Policy. The Committee is authorized to interpret and construe the Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of the Policy. In addition, if determined in the discretion of the Board, the Policy may be administered by the independent members of the Board or another committee of the Board made up of independent members of the Board, in which case all references to the Committee will be deemed to refer to such independent members of the Board or such other Board committee. All determinations of the Committee will be final and binding and will be given the maximum deference permitted by law.

 

C.Accounting Restatements Requiring Application of the Policy

 

If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period (an “Accounting Restatement”), then the Committee must determine the excess compensation, if any, that must be recovered (the “Excess Compensation”). The Company’s obligation to recover Excess Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restated financial statements are filed.

 

D.Compensation Covered by the Policy

 

The Policy applies to all Incentive-Based Compensation Received by an Executive Officer:

 

(a)after beginning service as an Executive Officer;

 

(b)who served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation;

 

 

 

(c)while the Company has a class of securities listed on the Exchange;

 

(d)during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Accounting Restatement Determination Date. In addition to these last three completed fiscal years, the Policy must apply to any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years. However, a transition period between the last day of the Company’s previous fiscal year end and the first day of the Company’s new fiscal year that comprises a period of nine to 12 months would be deemed a completed fiscal year; and

 

(e)on or after October 2, 2023.

 

E.Excess Compensation Subject to Recovery of the Policy

 

Excess Compensation is the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation Received that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that otherwise would have been Received had such Incentive-Based Compensation been determined based on the restated amounts (this is referred to in the listings standards as “erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation”) and must be computed without regard to any taxes paid.

 

To determine the amount of Excess Compensation for Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where it is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an Accounting Restatement, the amount must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was Received and the Company must maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide the documentation to the Exchange.

 

F.Repayment of Excess Compensation

 

The Company must recover Excess Compensation reasonably promptly and Executive Officers are required to repay Excess Compensation to the Company. Subject to applicable law, the Company may recover Excess Compensation by requiring the Executive Officer to repay such amount to the Company by direct payment to the Company or such other means or combination of means as the Committee determines to be appropriate (these determinations do not need to be identical as to each Executive Officer). These means may include:

 

(a)requiring reimbursement of cash Incentive-Based Compensation previously paid;

 

(b)seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any equity-based awards;

 

(c)offsetting the amount to be recovered from any unpaid or future compensation to be paid by the Company or any affiliate of the Company to the Executive Officer;

 

(d)cancelling outstanding vested or unvested equity awards; and/or

 

(e)taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Committee.

 

2

 

The repayment of Excess Compensation must be made by an Executive Officer notwithstanding any Executive Officer’s belief (whether or not legitimate) that the Excess Compensation had been previously earned under applicable law and therefore is not subject to recovery.

 

In addition to its rights to recovery under the Policy, the Company or any affiliate of the Company may take any legal actions it determines appropriate to enforce an Executive Officer’s obligations to the Company or its affiliate or to discipline an Executive Officer, including (without limitation) termination of employment, institution of civil proceedings, reporting of misconduct to appropriate governmental authorities, reduction of future compensation opportunities, or change in role. The decision to take any actions described in the preceding sentence will not be subject to the approval of the Committee and can be made by the Board, any committee of the Board, or any duly authorized officer of the Company or of any applicable affiliate of the Company.

 

G.Limited Exceptions to the Policy

 

The Company must recover Excess Compensation in accordance with the Policy except to the limited extent that any of the conditions set forth below are met, and the Committee determines that recovery of the Excess Compensation would be impracticable:

 

(a)The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing the Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered. Before reaching this conclusion, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover the Excess Compensation, document the reasonable attempt(s) taken to so recover, and provide that documentation to the Exchange;

 

(b)Recovery would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022. Before reaching this conclusion, the Company must obtain an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the Exchange, that recovery would result in such a violation, and must provide such opinion to the Exchange; or

 

(c)Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the legal requirements as such;

 

H.Other Important Information in the Policy

 

Notwithstanding the terms of any of the Company’s organizational documents (including, but not limited to, the Company’s articles of association), any corporate policy or any contract (including, but not limited to, any indemnification agreement), neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company will indemnify or provide advancement for any Executive Officer against any loss of Excess Compensation, or any claims relating to the Company’s enforcement of its rights under the Policy. Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company will pay for or reimburse insurance premiums for an insurance policy that covers potential recovery obligations. In the event that pursuant to the Policy the Company is required to recover Excess Compensation from an Executive Officer who is no longer an employee, the Company will be entitled to seek recovery in order to comply with applicable law, regardless of the terms of any release of claims or separation agreement such individual may have signed. Neither the Company nor any affiliate of the Company will enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-Based Compensation that is granted, paid, or awarded to an Executive Officer from the application of the Policy or that waives the Company’s right to recovery of any Excess Compensation, and the Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on, or after the adoption of the Policy).

 

The Committee or Board may review and modify the Policy from time to time.

 

If any provision of the Policy or the application of any such provision to any Executive Officer is adjudicated to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of the Policy or the application of such provision to another Executive Officer, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions will be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render any such provision or application enforceable.

 

3

 

The Policy will terminate and no longer be enforceable when the Company ceases to be a listed issuer within the meaning of Section 10D of the Exchange Act.

 

I.Definitions

 

“Accounting Restatement Determination Date” means the earlier to occur of: (a) the date the Board, a committee of the Board, or one or more of the officers of the Company authorized to take such action if Board action is not required, concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement; and (b) the date a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.

 

“Executive Officer” means each individual who is or was ever designated as an “officer” by the Board in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f).

 

“Financial Reporting Measures” means measures that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measures that are derived wholly or in part from such measures. Stock price and total shareholder return are also Financial Reporting Measures. A Financial Reporting Measure need not be presented within the financial statements or included in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

“Incentive-Based Compensation” means any compensation that is granted, earned, or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure (for the avoidance of doubt, no compensation that is potentially subject to recovery under the Policy will be earned until the Company’s right to recover under the Policy has lapsed) and excludes the following: salaries, bonuses paid solely at the discretion of the Committee or Board that are not paid from a bonus pool that is determined by satisfying a Financial Reporting Measure, bonuses paid solely upon satisfying one or more subjective standards and/or completion of a specified employment period, non-equity incentive plan awards earned solely upon satisfying one or more strategic measures or operational measures, and equity awards for which the grant is not contingent upon achieving any Financial Reporting Measure performance goal and vesting is contingent solely upon completion of a specified employment period (e.g., time-based vesting equity awards) and/or attaining one or more non-Financial Reporting Measures.

 

“Received” means, with respect to any Incentive-based Compensation, actual or deemed receipt, and Incentive-Based Compensation is “Received” under the Policy in the Company’s fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period. For the avoidance of doubt, the Policy does not apply to Incentive-Based Compensation for which the Financial Reporting Measure is attained prior to October 2, 2023.

I understand that my failure to comply in all respects with the Policy is a basis for termination of my employment with the Company and any affiliate of the Company, as well as any other appropriate discipline.

 

I understand that neither the Policy, nor the application of the Policy to me, gives rise to a resignation for good reason (or similar concept) by me under any applicable employment agreement or arrangement.

 

I acknowledge that if I have questions concerning the meaning or application of the Policy, it is my responsibility to seek guidance from the Company’s legal department or my own personal advisers.

 

I acknowledge that neither this Acknowledgement nor the Policy is meant to constitute an employment contract.

 

Please review, sign, and return this form to the Company.

AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Re: AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C
  Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
  Submitted September 25, 2024
  CIK No. 0002010959

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), is submitting this letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 filed on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering and listing of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.

 

The Company has included in the Registration Statement its audited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the two fiscal years then ended, and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company respectfully requests that the Commission waive the requirement of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which states that in the case of a company’s initial public offering, the registration statement on Form F-1 must contain audited financial statements of a date not older than 12 months from the date of the offering (the “12-Month Requirement”). See also Division of Corporation Finance, Financial Reporting Manual, Section 6220.3.

 

The Company is submitting this waiver request pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which provides that the Commission will waive the 12-Month Requirement “in cases where the company is able to represent adequately to us that it is not required to comply with this requirement in any other jurisdiction outside the United States and that complying with this requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.” See also the 2004 release entitled International Reporting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance (available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/internatl/cfirdissues1104.htm) by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission (the “Staff”) at Section III.B.c, in which the Staff notes that:

 

“the instruction indicates that the staff will waive the 12-month requirement where it is not applicable in the registrant’s other filing jurisdictions and is impracticable or involves undue hardship. As a result, we expect that the vast majority of IPOs will be subject only to the 15-month rule. The only times that we anticipate audited financial statements will be filed under the 12-month rule are when the registrant must comply with the rule in another jurisdiction, or when those audited financial statements are otherwise readily available.”

 

In connection with this waiver request, the Company hereby represents to the Commission that:

 

1.The Company is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction.

 

2.The Company is not required by any jurisdiction outside the United States to prepare consolidated financial statements audited under any generally accepted auditing standards for any interim period.

 

3.Full compliance with Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F at present is impracticable and involves undue hardship for the Company.

 

4.The Company does not anticipate that its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 will be available until May 31, 2025.

 

5.In no event will the Company seek effectiveness of the Registration Statement if its audited financial statements are older than 15 months at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

 

 

The Company will file this letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F.

 

Very truly yours,  
   
AMBITIONS ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT CO. L.L.C
