Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 20, 2026, Bio Essence Corp., a California corporation (“Company”) entered into a Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Zhituo Software Co., Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Zhituo”). Under the APA, the Company acquires ownership of certain software known as MediFlow AI, previously known as AcuVital, along with all of its software source code, system architecture, data, APOs, frameworks, and other technical information and data, the full extent of which is listed in Article II, Section 2.2 of the APA (collectively the “Software”), which is attached hereto as an Exhibit. In exchange for the acquisition of the Software, Zhituo will receive compensation by way of the issuance of common stock of the Company in an amount equal to fair market value of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000). The valuation and number of shares is subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Prior to the initiation of this transaction, there was no material relationship between the Company and Zhituo. A copy of the APA and the Consent Resolution of the Board of Directors approving the terms of the APA are attached hereto as an Exhibit.
Subsequent to the execution of the APA previously disclosed, the Company was informed that Zhituo preferred the shares issued by the Company as consideration for the Software be assigned to the individual stakeholders of Zhituo. On May 9, 2026, Zhituo’s three principals, Dangwei Zhu, Jiahui Zhang, and Xiaoquiang Cai, executed assignment agreements whereby each of the principals would receive a portion of the shares reserve for Zhituo pursuant to the APA. Those assignments were subsequently returned to the Company on May 18, 2026, and are attached hereto, along with the Consent Resolution signed by the Company’s Board of Directors approving of the assignments. At the time of the execution of the APA and the assignments, there was no material relationship between Dangwei Zhu, Jiahui Zhang, and Xiaoquiang Cai, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other.
On or about May 19, 2026, the share issuances to Dangwei Zhu, Jiahui Zhang, and Xiaoquiang Cai were deemed effective, satisfying all remaining conditions under the APA and closing the transaction.
