On September 15, 2025, Multi Ways Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) completed the initial closing of (i) 9,000,000 ordinary shares (the “Shares”), par value $0.00025 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Warrants”), at a purchase price of $0.165 per Ordinary Share and accompanying Warrant. The Warrants are exercisable for five years from issuance at an exercise price of $0.198 per share, pursuant to the subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”), dated September 12, 2025, by and between the Company and certain investors named thereto.
The Company received $1,485,000 in gross proceeds in the initial closing, before deducting Placement Agent’s fees and accountable expenses and other estimated expenses. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this initial closing for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Subscription Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.
The Shares, the Warrants and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-1, as amended, (File No.333-286220) (the “Registration Statement”), previously filed on March 28, 2025 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 10, 2025, which relates to the offering of up to (i) 18,000,000 Ordinary Shares and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 18,000,000 Ordinary Shares.
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan” or the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Company engaged Spartan as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Shares and the Warrants. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent (i) a placement agent fee in cash equal to five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from in the Offering, and (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for legal and other expenses of Spartan’s counsel in connection with the Offering, subject to a maximum amount of $50,000. In addition, the Company agreed to bear certain other costs of the Offering, including, among others, exchange listing fees, “blue sky” filings, transfer taxes, printing and mailing expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants.
Under the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company further agreed that, for a period of ninety (90) days after the date of the Placement Agency Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, it will not, subject to customary exceptions, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of its capital stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock, (ii) file any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any such securities, (iii) complete any offering of debt securities (other than a line of credit with a traditional bank), or (iv) enter into any swap or similar arrangement that transfers the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company. These restrictions do not apply to (a) the securities issued in the Offering, (b) issuances upon exercise of options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date of the Placement Agency Agreement and disclosed in the SEC Reports (as defined in the Placement Agency Agreement), (c) grants under the Company’s equity incentive plans disclosed in the SEC Reports or duly adopted thereafter, (d) any registration statement on Form S-8, or (e) securities issued in connection with mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing arrangements or other similar non-capital raising transactions, provided such shares are not registered under the Securities Act.
The foregoing are summaries of the Placement Agency Agreement, Warrants and Subscription Agreements. They do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents filed as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1 and 10.1 respectively hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
On September 12, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. On September 15, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offering, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
This Report is incorporated by reference into the registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-275277) of the Company, filed with the Commission, to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is submitted, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell any securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. For example, the Company is using forward-looking statements when it discusses the closing of the Offering. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Report are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control.

Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include the risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Commission on May 23, 2025, and the Company’s other filings with the Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Attention: Lim Eng Hock, Chief Executive Officer
Dear Mr. Lim:
This letter (the “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between, Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”, or the “Placement Agent”) and Multi Ways Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company limited by shares (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent shall serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement” or the “Offering”) of ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.00025 per share (the “Shares”), and accompanying warrants (together with the Shares, the “Securities”). The terms of the Placement shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) and nothing herein constitutes that the Placement Agent would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement, including but not limited to the Subscription Agreement (as defined below) and where applicable, the Offering Documents (as defined below), shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The date of each closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as a “Closing Date.” The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Placement Agent hereunder are on a reasonable best-efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of the Placement Agent with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company. Following the prior written consent of the Company, the Placement Agent may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected dealers on its behalf in connection with the Placement. The sale of the Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and such Purchaser in a form mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Placement Agent. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Subscription Agreement. Prior to the signing of any Subscription Agreement, executive officers of the Company will be available upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours to answer inquiries from prospective Purchasers.
SECTION
- REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. Each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure schedules thereto) and covenants made by the Company to the Purchasers in the Subscription Agreement utilized in connection with the Placement is hereby incorporated herein by reference into this Agreement (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of the Subscription Agreement and as of the Closing Date, hereby made to, and in favor of, the Placement Agent. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Company is not disqualified from the exemption under Rule 506 contained in Regulation D by virtue of the disqualifications contained in Rule 506(d), or the exemption under Regulation D by virtue of the disqualifications contained in Rule 507.
SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PLACEMENT AGENT. The Placement Agent represents and warrants that it (i) is a member in good standing of FINRA, (ii) is registered as a broker/dealer under the Exchange Act, (iii) is licensed as a broker/dealer under the laws of the states applicable to the offers and sales of the Securities by such Placement Agent, (iv) is and will be a corporate entity validly existing under the laws of its place of incorporation, and (v) has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Placement Agent will immediately notify the Company in writing of any change in its status as such.

A cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to an aggregate of five percent (5%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement whether the sale was directly the result of the Placement Agent’s efforts or any other party legally permitted to effect the sale (including, but not limited to, FINRA members, as selling agents, which the Placement Agent may permit to participate in the Offering). The Cash Fee shall be paid at each Closing of the Placement.
B. [Reserved].
C. Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), the Company will be responsible for and will pay all expenses relating to the Placement, including, without limitation, (a) all fees and expenses relating to the listing of the Company’s Shares on a national exchange, if applicable; (b) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of the Securities under the “blue sky” securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as Placement Agent may reasonably designate (including, without limitation, all filing and registration fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company’s “blue sky” counsel) unless such filings are not required in connection with the Company’s proposed listing on a national exchange, if applicable; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the Securities under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions as the Placement Agent’s may reasonably designate; (d) the costs of all mailing and printing of the Offering Documents (as defined below); (e) transfer and/or stamp taxes, if any, payable upon the transfer of securities by the Company; and (f) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants; and (g) a maximum of $50,000 for fees and expenses including “road show”, diligence, and reasonable legal fees and disbursements for Spartan’s counsel.

SECTION 11. CLOSING. The obligations of the Placement Agent, and the closing of the sale of the Securities hereunder are subject to the accuracy, when made and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein and in the Subscription Agreement, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, and to each of the following additional terms and conditions, except as otherwise disclosed to and acknowledged and waived by the Placement Agent by the Company:
A. The Company has prepared and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (Registration No. [ ]), and amendments thereto, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Securities, which registration statement, as so amended (including post-effective amendments, if any) became effective on _____, 2025. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as of the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement shall each be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) on or before the date of this Agreement; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the date of this Agreement, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company’s knowledge, is threatened by the Commission.

The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which (x) have not been described or filed as required or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period.
Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed, and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Final Prospectus.

EXHIBIT A
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
In connection with the engagement of Spartan Capital LLC (“Spartan”, the “Placement Agent”) by Multi Ways Holdings Limited. (the “Company”) pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company and the Placement Agent, as it may be amended from time to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees as follows:
1. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Placement Agent and its respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement, except, with regard to the Placement Agent, to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment (not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted primarily and directly from such Placement Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein, as the case may be.
2. Promptly after receipt by the Placement Agent of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which such Placement Agent is entitled to indemnity hereunder, such Placement Agent will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Placement Agent and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Placement Agent will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for such Placement Agent reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and such Placement Agent. In such event, the reasonable fees, and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
3. The Company agrees to notify the Placement Agent promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by the Agreement.
4. If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to the Placement Agent or insufficient to hold such Placement Agent harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Placement Agent, as the case may be, as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and such Placement Agent on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and such Placement Agent on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages, and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, no Placement Agent’s share of the liability hereunder shall be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by such Placement Agent under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by such Placement Agent).
5. These Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is completed and shall survive the termination of the Agreement and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under the Agreement or otherwise.

2. Investment Representation. The Warrant Holder by accepting this Warrant represents that the Warrant Holder is acquiring this Warrant for its own account for investment purposes and not with the view to any offering or distribution and that the Warrant Holder will not sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or the underlying Warrant Shares in violation of applicable securities laws.

If this Warrant was acquired by the Warrant Holder pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act afforded by Regulation S thereunder, the Warrant Holder acknowledges and covenants that this Warrant may not be exercised by or on behalf of a Person (as defined herein) during the six month distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S) following the date hereof. “Person” means an individual, partnership, firm, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, association, corporation, or any other legal entity.
3. Validity of Warrant and Issue of Shares.

The Company further warrants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.
4. Registration of Transfers and Exchange of Warrants.
a. Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly completed and signed, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 8. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Ordinary Shares, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Warrant Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a Warrant Holder of a Warrant.
b. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrant Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 8 for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant will be dated the date of such exchange.
5. Exercise of Warrants.
a. Exercise of this Warrant shall be made upon surrender of this Warrant with the Form of Election to Purchase substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and signed to the Company, at its address set forth in Section 8. Payment upon exercise may be made at the written option of the Warrant Holder either in (i) cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate purchase price, (ii) by delivery of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Warrant Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Warrant Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares determined as provided herein. The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five (5) business days after the Date of Exercise as defined herein) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Warrant Holder and in such name or names as the Warrant Holder may designate (subject to the restrictions on transfer described in the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant), a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, with such restrictive legend as required by the 1933 Act, as applicable. Any person so designated by the Warrant Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment upon exercise may be made in the manner described in Section 5(b) below only with respect to Warrant Shares not included for unrestricted public resale in an effective registration statement.
b. If, at any time after the Warrant Holder’s purchase of warrants, such Warrant Holder exercises its warrants and a registration statement registering the issuance of the Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available (or a prospectus is not available for the resale of Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants), then in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Warrant Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the number of Ordinary Shares computed using the following formula:
| X=Y (A-B) |
|---|
| A |
Where X= the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Warrant Holder
Y= the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)
A= Fair Market Value (“Fair Market Value” means the closing price (as quoted by Nasdaq or other principal trading markets, if applicable) reported on the day immediately preceding the Date of Exercise)
B= Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction in the manner described above shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Warrant Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued.
c. A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Warrant Holder to be purchased.
d. This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time for such number of Warrant Shares as is indicated in the attached Form of Election to Purchase. If less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant are exercised at any time, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
e. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Warrant Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 5 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Form of Election to Purchase, the Warrant Holder (together with the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates (as defined below), and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Warrant Holder or any of the Warrant Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). “Affiliate” means any Person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the 1933 Act. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents (as defined below)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Warrant Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. “Ordinary Share Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries (as defined below) which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred shares, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Ordinary Shares. “Subsidiary” means any subsidiary of the Company, which is actively engaged in a trade or business, and shall, where applicable, also include any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company formed or acquired after the date hereof. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), it being acknowledged by the Warrant Holder that the Company is not representing to the Warrant Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Warrant Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 5(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Warrant Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Warrant Holder, and the submission of a Form of Election to Purchase shall be deemed to be the Warrant Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Warrant Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination, and a submission of a Form of Election to Purchase shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Warrant Holder of the foregoing determination. In addition, a determination by the Warrant Holder as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5(e), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Warrant Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent of the Company setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Warrant Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Warrant Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. “Trading Day” means a day on which the Ordinary Shares are traded on a Trading Market (as defined below). “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Warrant Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by the Warrant Holder upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the Warrant Holder to the Company, 9.99%) of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Warrant Holder may, upon notice to the Company, increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 5(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Warrant Holder and the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The character of the Ordinary Shares or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price therefor, are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of the following events:
a. Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations, Etc. The Exercise Price of this Warrant and the number of Ordinary Shares Stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding shares of stock or securities.
b. Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation, merger or reorganization (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Reorganization”), then, in each case, the holder of this Warrant, on exercise hereof at any time after the consummation or effective date of such Reorganization (the “Effective Date”), shall receive, in lieu of the shares of stock or other securities at any time issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant issuable on such exercise prior to the Effective Date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon the Effective Date if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant).
c. Certificate as to Adjustments. In case of any adjustment or readjustment in the price or kind of securities issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company will promptly give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant in the form of a certificate, certified and confirmed by the Board of Directors of the Company, setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.
7. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented.

ANTI-MONEYLAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
| The USA PATRIOT Act | What is money laundering? | How big is the problem and why is it important? |
|---|---|---|
| The<br> USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States<br> and abroad. The Act imposes anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial<br> institutions. Since April 24, 2002, all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive<br> anti-money laundering programs.<br><br> <br><br><br> <br>To<br>help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the<br>USA PATRIOT Act. | Money<br> laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities.<br> Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud,<br> racketeering, and terrorism. | The<br> use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According<br> to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at an estimated two to nearly<br> four trillion dollars a year. |
Whatare we required to do to eliminate money laundering?
Under the rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws.
As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
