Our Company

 

We are an early commercial stage healthcare company engaged in the development of next generation mobile health and telemedicine solutions and monitoring service platforms. We believe we are at the forefront of the digital health revolution in developing the next generation mobile technologies and services that are designed to empower consumers, patients and providers to better monitor, manage and improve clinical and personal health outcomes, especially for those who suffer from cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease and diabetes.

 

Using our proprietary suite of devices, software solutions, algorithms and monitoring services, we intend to drive recurring revenue streams in two vertical markets, with a focus on markets in the United States and China as well as other markets: B2B: professional healthcare markets (including hospitals, clinics and senior care facilities); and B2B2C and B2C: consumer healthcare markets.

 

G Medical Tests and Services, Inc. currently operates five locations performing point-of-care tests in communities surrounding the Los Angeles area including Pico Rivera, Compton, Bellflower, and Newhall with another operating in Northern California in the City of Stockton. We plan to offer Same-Day Rapid PCR results for a fee to the patient.

 

Our management team is led by individuals with over 30 years of combined experience in developing mobile embedded medical sensors, and with over 48 medical devices approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the U.S. FDA, including devices approved when the members of our management team were employed at other companies. Our management has proven their ability to execute our go-to-market strategy as described below, with over 25 years of medical device development and commercialization experience in the United States, China, parts of Europe, Australia, South Africa, Japan, the Asia Pacific region and Brazil. 

 

Recent Financing

 

In April 2022, we completed a series of private placements, or the April 2022 Private Placements, as follows: on April 18, 2022, we entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement, or the Armistice Purchase Agreement, with Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., or Armistice, for the issuance, in a private placement, of an aggregate of 1,800,000 Ordinary Shares, pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,200,000 Ordinary Shares, or the Pre-Funded Warrants, and warrants to purchase 6,250,000 Ordinary Shares, or the Armistice Ordinary Warrants.

 

 

1

 

 

 

The Armistice Ordinary Warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and have a term of five years. The Ordinary Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants, and the associated Armistice Ordinary Warrants, were sold at a price of $1.50 each, including the Pre-Funded Warrant exercise price of $0.0001 per Ordinary Share, if applicable. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable at any time upon payment of the exercise price.

 

The sale of securities pursuant to the Armistice Purchase Agreement resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.5 million. The closing of the sale occurred on April 20, 2022.

 

We also entered into an agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as sole placement agent, or the Placement Agent, dated April 18, 2022, for the April 2022 Private Placements. We paid the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received in the offering. In addition, we issued the Placement Agent warrants, or the Placement Agent Warrants, to purchase 250,000 Ordinary Shares, or 5% of the Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued pursuant to the Armistice Purchase Agreement. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable six months after their issuance, will be exercisable for five years from their initial exercisability and will have an exercise price of $1.50 per share.

 

As a result of the Armistice Purchase Agreement, on April 20, 2022, Lind Global Fund II LP an investment fund managed by The Lind Partners, a New York based institutional fund manager, or Lind Global, exercised its right of participation, and we entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement, or the Lind Purchase Agreement, with Lind Global for the issuance, in a private placement, of an aggregate of 333,334 Ordinary Shares and ordinary warrants, or, together with the Armistice Ordinary Warrants, the Ordinary Warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 416,668 Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Ordinary Share and associated warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $500,000.

 

The terms of the Lind Purchase Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Armistice Purchase Agreement and the terms of the Ordinary Warrants issued pursuant to the Lind Purchase Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the warrants issued pursuant to the Armistice Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, we entered into an amendment with each of the holders of warrants issued in a series of private placements completed in January and February 2022, or the January 2022 Private Placements, as follows: (i) an amendment to warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 Ordinary Shares, with a purchase price of $5.00 per Ordinary Share, issued to Armistice pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated January 30, 2022, or the January 2022 Purchase Agreement; and , (ii) an amendment to warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 20,000 Ordinary Shares, with a purchase price of $5.00 per Ordinary Share, issued to Lind Global pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated February 1, 2022, or the February 2022 Purchase Agreement. In each case, the amendment modified the purchase price per Ordinary Share of the warrants to $1.50.

 

Following the April 2022 Private Placements, we repaid $3,380,000 to Lind Global as repayment in full of that certain senior convertible note dated December 15, 2021 issued pursuant to a definitive securities purchase agreement, or the December 2021 Purchase Agreement, we entered into with Lind Global.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing industry that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. You should consider carefully the risk factors described below and the risks described under the caption “Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in the Ordinary Shares. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of the Ordinary Shares to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have recently invested significant capital in our new COVID-19 related services, including the purchase of COVID-19 testing kits, however, the future of COVID-19 related services is uncertain.

 

In December 2021 we launched our COVID-19 testing business, which entailed a significant investment of capital, including, among others, to establish a number of testing facilities and laboratories throughout the state of California and the purchase of COVID-19 testing kits. The level of demand for COVID-19 testing has varied depending on, among other things, changes in the number of reported cases of COVID-19, discoveries of new variants or subvariants of the virus, different COVID-19 mitigation efforts and policies adopted by various governments or businesses, all of which are subject to change and beyond our control. Moreover, the future of COVID-19 related services may be dependent on changes to laws and regulations governing healthcare service providers, including measures to control costs, or reductions in reimbursement levels from government payors or insurance companies. While we believe that there will continue to be a market for COVID-19 testing in the near future, the future outcome and circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve and remains uncertain, and there can be no assurance that there will be a continued market for COVID-19 testing, the absence or reduction of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities and this Offering

 

Our management will have immediate and broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively. 

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Ordinary Warrants for general working capital purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have broad discretion in the application of any such net proceeds. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate the net proceeds from the exercise of the Ordinary Warrants. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from the exercise of the Ordinary Warrants in a manner that does not produce income. The decisions made by our management may not result in positive returns on your investment and you will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information upon which our management bases its decisions.

  our ability and plans to manufacture, market and sell our products and services, including those related to our new COVID-19 testing business;

  our anticipation that the monitoring services will continue to grow thereby increasing monthly recurring revenues payable to us;
     
  anticipated actions of the U.S. FDA, state regulators, if any, or other similar foreign regulatory agencies, including approval to conduct clinical trials, the timing and scope of those trials and the prospects for regulatory approval or clearance of, or other regulatory action with respect to our products or services;

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares will go to the selling shareholders.

 

We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Ordinary Warrants to the extent that the Ordinary Warrants are exercised for cash. The Ordinary Warrants may, however, be exercisable on a cashless basis under certain circumstances. If the entire Ordinary Warrants were exercised for cash in full, the proceeds to the Company would be $10,000,002. We intend to use the net proceeds of such warrant exercise, if any, for general working capital purposes. We can make no assurances that any of the Ordinary Warrants will be exercised, or if exercised, that it will be exercised for cash, the quantity which will be exercised or in the period in which it will be exercised.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including applicable laws, our results of operations, financial condition, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

 

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of its realized or unrealized profit or share premium account, but a dividend may not be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. According to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, dividends can be declared and paid out of funds lawfully available to us. Dividends may be declared and paid in cash or in kind (including paid up share capital or securities in another corporate body). Dividends, if any, would be paid in proportion to the number of Ordinary Shares a shareholder holds. Any dividend unclaimed after a period of three years from the date the dividend became due for payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to us.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The selling shareholders acquired the Ordinary Shares being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus, pursuant to contractual agreements as detailed above in “Prospectus Summary— Recent Financing”. We have agreed to file this registration statement covering the resale of the Ordinary Shares sold in the offering. We are registering the Ordinary Shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the Ordinary Shares for resale from time to time.

 

Other than the relationships described herein, to our knowledge, the selling shareholders are not employees or suppliers of ours or our affiliates. Within the past three years, other than the relationships described herein, the selling shareholders have not held a position as an officer or a director of ours, nor have any of the selling shareholders had any material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling shareholders, unless otherwise noted. The Ordinary Shares being offered are being registered to permit public secondary trading of such Ordinary Shares and each selling shareholders may offer all or part of the Ordinary Shares it owns for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling shareholders have any family relationships with our officers, directors or controlling shareholders.

 

The term “selling shareholder(s)” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the selling shareholders named in the table below. Unless otherwise indicated, to our knowledge, the person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power (subject to applicable community property laws) with respect to the Ordinary Shares set forth opposite such person’s name. We will file a supplement to this prospectus (or a post-effective amendment hereto, if necessary) to name successors to the named selling shareholders who are able to use this prospectus to resell the Ordinary Shares offered hereby.

 

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares held by the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholders based on their ownership of Ordinary Shares as of May 19, 2022.

 

The third column lists the Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

 

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least a number of Ordinary Shares issued, or underlying warrants issued, to them in the April 2022 Private Placements. Because the number of Ordinary Shares may be adjusted for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions, the number of Ordinary Shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of Ordinary Shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the Ordinary Shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of its shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the Ordinary Shares previously issued, and Ordinary Shares underlying warrants previously issued, to permit the resale of these Ordinary Shares by the holder of these securities from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the Ordinary Shares.

 

Each selling shareholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

  privately negotiated transactions;

 

  settlement of short sales;

 

  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

  a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

9

 

 

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholders has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the ordinary shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, estimated to be $45,827 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that the selling shareholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital consists of 2,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value $0.09 per share, of which 24,386,680 shares were issued and outstanding as of such date. All of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are not redeemable and are not subject to any preemptive right.

 

On October 29, 2020, our shareholders approved the October 2020 Reverse Stock Split of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to which holders of our Ordinary Shares received one Ordinary Share for every 18 Ordinary Shares held, or the October 2020 Reverse Stock Split.

 

In addition, on March 25, 2021, our shareholders approved the March 2021 Reverse Stock Split of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to which holders of our Ordinary Shares received one Ordinary Share for every five Ordinary Shares held.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

In the last three years, we have issued an aggregate of 20,128,475 Ordinary Shares in several private placements, to employees, advisors, consultants, and public offerings for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $45.2 million, which amount includes the issuance of Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of options, warrants and performance rights.

 

Warrants and Options

 

In addition to Ordinary Shares, in the last three years, we have issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 19,569,033 Ordinary Shares to advisors, consultants and investors, with exercise prices ranging from $1.24 to A$35.2 (approximately $24.93) per share, of which no warrants have been exercised, and granted options to purchase an aggregate of 2,525,000 Ordinary Shares to directors, officers, employees and service providers with exercise prices ranging from $1.98 to $3.27 per share, of which, no options have been exercised.

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association

 

The following are summaries of material provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Cayman Islands Companies Law insofar as they relate to the material terms of our share capital. This discussion does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The form of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is filed as an exhibit to this registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. 

 

Share Capital

 

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association permit us to alter our share capital by way of the passing of ordinary resolution, including: (i) to increase our authorized share capital by the creation of additional authorized but unissued shares, (ii) to reduce our authorized share capital by the cancellation of authorized but unissued shares, (iii) to consolidate the shares forming our then authorized share capital into a lower number of shares of a proportionally greater par value, and (iv) to subdivide the shares forming our share capital into a larger number of shares of a proportionally lesser par value. We may by way of the passing of special resolution and by order from the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands reduce our share capital in any way, including by reducing the par value of our issued share capital, cancelling any paid-up share capital which is lost or unrepresented by available assets, and extinguishing or reducing the liability of any of our shares. See “Voting Rights and Thresholds” below.

 

Share Repurchase

 

Subject to Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, the Cayman Islands Companies Law, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and any rights conferred on the holders of any Ordinary Shares or attached to any class of shares, our board of directors may cause us to repurchase or otherwise acquire shares in such manner, upon such terms and subject to such conditions as they think fit. Pursuant to the Cayman Islands Companies Law, the repurchase of any share may be paid out of our profits, out of the share premium account or out of the proceeds of a fresh issuance of shares made for the purpose of such repurchase, or, out of capital if we are able to pay our debts, if any, as they fall due in the ordinary course of our business.

  

Voting Rights and Thresholds

 

At any general meeting of our shareholders, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded. On a show of hands, each shareholder present in person or represented by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder that is a non-natural person) by authorized representative shall have one vote for each share held by that shareholder.

 

A poll may instead be demanded:

 

 

before the show of hands on that resolution is taken;

     
 

before the result of the show of hands on that resolution is declared; or

     
  immediately after the result of the show of hands on that resolution is declared.

 

In the event that a poll is demanded, each shareholder present in person or represented by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder that is a non-natural person) by authorized representative has one vote for each share held by that shareholder.

 

12

 

 

To be passed at a general meeting of shareholders, ordinary resolutions require the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, attend and vote at the general meeting of shareholders in person, by proxy, or (in the case of a shareholder that is a non-natural person) by authorized representative; and special resolutions require the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, attend and vote at the general meeting in person, by proxy, or (in the case of a shareholder that is a non-natural person) by authorized representative.

 

Generally, all matters to be transacted at a general meeting of shareholders are passed as ordinary resolutions, save for certain matters specified under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or the Cayman Islands Companies Law as requiring a special resolution such as appointing a voluntary liquidator, changing our name, amending our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and for other matters such as transferring treasury shares at a discount to employees or subordinate companies.

 

Special resolutions and ordinary resolutions may also be passed by a unanimous written resolution of all the shareholders having the right to attend and vote at the general meeting.

 

Dividends

 

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors may declare and authorize the payment of dividends and distributions out of our realized or unrealized profits, out of the share premium account (provided that we will, immediately following that dividend or distribution, be able to pay any our debts, if any, which we may have undertaken in the ordinary course of our business), or as otherwise permitted by the Cayman Islands Companies Law.

 

Except as provided by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or the rights attached to any of our Ordinary Shares, dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares on which the dividend is paid. Dividends may be declared and paid in cash or in kind (including paid up share capital or securities in another body corporate). Any dividend unclaimed after a period of three years from the date the dividend became due for payment shall be forfeited and shall revert to us.

 

Liquidation

 

Subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to the distribution of available surplus assets on liquidation applicable to any class or classes of shares, (1) if we are wound up and the assets available for distribution among our shareholders are more than sufficient to repay the entirety of the paid-up capital at the commencement of the winding up, the excess shall be distributed pari passu among our 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 us, respectively, and (2) if we are wound up and the assets available for distribution among our shareholders as such are insufficient to repay the entirety of the paid-up capital, those assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

 

If we are wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution, and any other sanction required by the Cayman Islands Companies Law, divide among our shareholders in specie the entirety or any part of our assets and may, for such purpose, value any assets and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. The liquidator may also, with the sanction of an ordinary resolution, vest any part of these assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of our shareholders as the liquidator shall think fit, but so that no shareholder will be compelled to accept any assets, shares or other securities upon which there is a liability.

 

Transfer of Shares

 

Subject to the restrictions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, certificated shares may be transferred, by an instrument of transfer in writing in any usual form or in another form approved by the board of directors or prescribed by Nasdaq, which must be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and (in the case of a transfer of a share which is not fully paid) by or on behalf of the transferee. Uncertificated shares may be transferred, without a written instrument in accordance with the rules or regulations of any electronic trading systems permitted by Nasdaq.

 

13

 

 

Our board of directors may decline to register any transfer of an uncertificated share or depositary interest (i) if the transfer is in favor of more than four persons jointly (in the case of an uncertificated share); and (ii) in any other circumstance permitted by the rules or regulations of any electronic trading systems permitted by Nasdaq in which the share is held.

 

If our board of directors refuses to register a transfer of a share, they shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer was delivered to us, send notice of the refusal to the transferee.

 

Variation of Rights of Shares

 

Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, if at any time our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class of shares may be varied in such manner as those rights may provide or, if no such provision is made, either:

 

  with the consent in writing of holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class; or
     
  with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class by not less than a two-thirds majority of the holders of the shares of that class present and voting at such meeting (whether in person or by proxy).

 

For these purposes, our directors may treat two or more or all of the classes of shares as forming one class of shares if we consider that such classes of shares would be affected by the proposed variation in the same way. Rights attaching to a class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or the terms of issue of such shares, be deemed to be varied, modified or abrogated by the creation or issue of further shares with rights that are equal to the rights of such existing class of shares, by the reduction of capital paid up on such shares or by the repurchase, redemption, surrender or conversion of any shares in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles.

 

Inspection of Books and Records

 

Holders of shares will have no general right to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or corporate records, except as conferred by the Cayman Islands Companies Law, by order of the court, authorized by the board of directors, or by ordinary resolution of the shareholders.

 

Borrowing Powers

 

Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, our board of directors may exercise all of our powers to borrow money and to mortgage or charge all, or any part, of our undertaking and property and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation incurred by us or by any third-party.

 

Differences in Corporate Law  

 

We are incorporated under the laws of The Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands Companies Law is modeled after the corporate legislation of the United Kingdom but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments and 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 Cayman Islands Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in Delaware and their shareholders.

 

14

 

 

This discussion does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares under applicable Cayman Islands law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles or the rights of holders of the common stock of a typical corporation under applicable Delaware law and a typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

 

    Delaware   Cayman Islands Companies Law / our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
         
Dividends   The Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, generally provides that, subject to certain restrictions, the directors of a corporation may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either out of the corporation’s surplus or, if there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year, as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by issued and outstanding shares having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Further, the holders of preferred or special stock of any class or series may be entitled to receive dividends at such rates, on such conditions and at such times as stated in the certificate of incorporation.   Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, dividends may (subject to anything to the contrary in a company’s articles of association) be declared and paid to shareholders out of (a) “profits” (which is not defined by the Cayman Islands law, but under applicable common law may include both retained earnings and realized and unrealized gains) and (b) “share premium” (which represents the excess of the aggregate price paid to the us for our total issued share capital over the aggregate par or nominal value of our total issued share capital). Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, distributions out of “share premium” may only be made if, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, we are able to pay our debts, if any, as they fall due in the ordinary course of our business (the “statutory solvency test”).

 

Repurchases and redemptions of shares   A Delaware corporation may purchase or redeem shares of any class except when its capital is impaired or would be impaired by the purchase or redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its shares if the shares are to be retired and the capital reduced.  

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, shares may be redeemed or repurchased out of (a) profits, (b) share premium (subject to the statutory solvency test), (c) the proceeds of a fresh issuance of shares made for that purpose, or (d) capital, provided that payments out of capital are subject to the statutory solvency test and must be specifically authorized by a company’s articles of association.


Ordinary Shares are not redeemable, but under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors may determine to repurchase shares on such terms as the board of directors determines. The repurchase of any share may be paid out of our profits, out of the share premium account or out of the proceeds of a fresh issuance of shares made for the purpose of such repurchase, or out of capital if we are able to, immediately following such repurchase, pay our debts, if any, as they fall due in the ordinary course of our business. No shareholder approval is required under the Cayman Islands Companies Law or our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association for any repurchases.

 

Shares that have been repurchased or redeemed may either be cancelled or held by a company as treasury shares. Shares held in treasury shall not have voting rights or dividend rights, and may be sold or otherwise transferred on such terms and conditions as our board of directors determine.

 

 

15

 

 

General meetings of shareholders   Under the DGCL, a corporation must hold an annual meeting of stockholders in a place designated by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, whether inside or outside of Delaware, or, if not so designated, as determined by the board of directors and on a date and at a time designated in the bylaws, except as otherwise provided by law. Written notice of every meeting of stockholders must be given to each stockholder of record not less than ten or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.  

As an exempted company, we are not required under the Cayman Islands Companies Law to hold annual general meetings, but our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, provide that we shall in each calendar year hold an annual general meeting, and that the maximum period between annual general meetings shall not exceed 15 months. General meetings may be held at such place within or outside the Cayman Islands as our board of directors shall consider appropriate.

 

Annual general meetings of shareholders may be held at such place as the board of directors determines, whether within or outside the Cayman Islands.

The Cayman Islands Companies Law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that, subject to certain procedure prescribed therein being satisfied, shareholders holding not less than one-tenth of the paid-up share capital of our issued voting shares have the right, by written requisition to us, to require a general meeting of the shareholders to be called by the board of directors. If this right is exercised, the board of directors is required to call a general meeting within 21 days of the receipt of such requisition.

 

The Cayman Islands Companies Law does not specify a minimum attendance threshold for general meetings of shareholders to be quorate. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a quorum for a general meeting is twenty five percent (25%) of shareholders present in person, by proxy or (in the case of a shareholder that is a non-natural person) by a duly authorized representative and entitled to vote on the business to be transacted, unless the Company has only one shareholder in which case that shareholder alone constitutes a quorum.

         

 

16

 

 

Matters to be decided by supermajority shareholder resolution   Under the DGCL, certain fundamental changes such as amendments to the certificate of incorporation, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation not in the usual and regular course of the corporation’s business, or a dissolution of the corporation, are generally required to be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the matter, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage.  

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, certain matters are required to be approved by a “special resolution,” which is a supermajority resolution passed by either (a) not less than a two-thirds majority of votes cast (in person or by proxy) at a quorate general meeting of shareholders or (b) by unanimous written resolution.


Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, the principal matters relevant to us that require a special resolution are as follows: (a) amendments to the memorandum and articles of association; (b) change our name; (c) appointment of inspectors for the purpose of examining our affairs; (d) placing us into voluntary or court-supervised liquidation; (e) authorizing our statutory merger with one or more other companies in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Law; and (f) approving a reduction of share capital.

         
Appointment and removal of directors  

Under Delaware law, unless otherwise specified in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.


In addition, the office of a director shall be vacated automatically if, among other things, he or she (1) becomes prohibited by law from being a director, (2) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors, (3) dies or is in the opinion of all his or her co-directors, incapable by reason of mental disorder of discharging his or her duties as director (4) resigns his or her office by notice to us or (5) has for more than six months been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of the board of directors held during that period, and the remaining directors resolve that his or her office be vacated.

 

The Cayman Islands Companies Law does not provide shareholders with any statutory rights to appoint or remove directors. Any such rights will be as prescribed in the articles of association of a Cayman Islands company.

 

The provisions regarding the appointment and removal of our directors by shareholders (and the maximum and minimum number of directors) are as described above. See “Management—Appointment and Removal of Directors” in our 2021 Annual Report.

Director’s duties  

Under Delaware law, the business and affairs of a corporation are managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. In exercising their powers, directors are charged with a fiduciary duty of care to protect the interests of the corporation and a fiduciary duty of loyalty to act in the best interests of its shareholders. The duty of care requires that directors act in an informed and deliberative manner and inform themselves, prior to making a business decision, of all material information reasonably available to them. The duty of care also requires that directors exercise care in overseeing and investigating the conduct of the corporation’s employees. The duty of loyalty may be summarized as the duty to act in good faith, not out of self-interest, and in a manner which the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the shareholders.

 

Subject to the limitations described below, a certificate of incorporation may provide for the elimination or limitation of the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Such provision cannot limit liability for breach of loyalty, bad faith, intentional misconduct, unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful share purchase or redemption. In addition, the certificate of incorporation cannot limit liability for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.

 

A corporation has the power to indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party who acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and if with respect to a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct would be unlawful, against amounts actually and reasonably incurred.

 

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, the duties of a director primarily derive from common law, the Cayman Islands Companies Law, and the articles of association of a company.  

 

Under common law principles that will be applied by the Cayman Islands courts, directors have fiduciary duties, including: (a) the duty to act honestly and in good faith in what he or she considers are the best interests of the company (generally meaning the interests of the shareholders as a whole); (b) the duty of loyalty and to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest arising between his or her duties to the company and his or her personal interest (subject to the caveat that the articles of association may authorize conflicts that have been disclosed to the other directors); (c) a duty to exercise his or her powers as a director under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the articles of association of the company only for the purposes for which they are conferred and not for a collateral or improper purpose; and (d) a duty not to fetter his or her exercise of future discretion as a director.

 

Directors also have a common law duty to act with care, diligence and skill in the performance of his or her role. The duties of care, diligence and skill of a director of a Cayman Islands company are generally determined by both reference to the knowledge and experience actually possessed by the director and by reference to the skill, care and diligence as would be displayed by a reasonable director in those circumstances.

 

The Cayman Islands Companies Law contains certain statutory duties, including: (a) the duty not to pay or make any distribution to shareholders out of capital or share premium unless a company is able to pay its debts as they fall due following such payment; and (b) the duty to maintain certain statutory registers (register of members, register of directors, register of mortgages and charges) and proper books and records.   A director must also act in accordance with any specific duties set forth in the articles of association from time to time.

 

A director who fails to perform their Cayman Islands common law duties may be personally liable for financial compensation to the aggrieved party, the restoration of the company’s property, or for the payment to the company of any profits made in breach of the direct or’s duty.  

         
        In addition, a director who fails to perform their duties under the Cayman Islands Companies Law may be personally liable to a statutory fine and/or imprisonment of varying severity depending on the nature of the duty breached. This liability is in addition to any liability the company itself may be subject to.  A Cayman Islands company may, however, include a provision in its articles of association (and may in addition enter into a separate contractual arrangement with a director) indemnifying a director against all losses and costs suffered by such director as a consequence of performance of his or her role as such, and exculpating a director from any liability to the company itself, including in circumstances where such director is in breach of his or her duties (provided that there has been no willful neglect, wilful default, fraud, dishonesty or criminal act on the part of the director). A Cayman Islands company may also purchase insurance for directors and certain other officers against liability incurred as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company.

Conflicts of interest   Under Delaware law, a transaction in which a director who has an interest is not void or voidable solely because such interested director is present at or participates in the meeting that authorizes the transaction if: (i) the material facts as to such interested director’s relationship or interests are disclosed or are known to the board of directors and the board in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum, (ii) such material facts are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote on such transaction and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders, or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified. Under Delaware law, a director could be held liable for any transaction in which such director derived an improper personal benefit.   As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director is under a general fiduciary duty to avoid conflicts of interest. However, the articles of association of a Cayman Islands company may provide that directors may continue to participate and vote in respect of matters on which they are conflicted provided that the nature and extent of such conflict has been disclosed to the other directors.   Under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, a director must disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest in any contract or arrangement, and following such disclosure the interested director may vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he or she is interested. The interested director shall be counted in the quorum at such meeting and the resolution may be passed by a majority of the directors present at the meeting.
         
Business combinations   Under Delaware law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, exchange or sale of all or substantially all the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. Under Delaware law, a shareholder of a corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by such shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction.  Delaware law also provides that a parent corporation, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary, of which it owns at least 90% of each class of capital stock without a vote by shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights.    

The Cayman Islands Companies Law makes specific provision for the acquisition of a Cayman Islands company by way of a court-approved scheme of arrangement, by way of mandatory squeeze-out following a tender offer, and by way of merger.

 

A court-approved scheme of arrangement under the Cayman Islands Companies Law requires the approval of a majority in number of the registered holders of each participating class or series of shares voting on the scheme of arrangement, representing 75% or more in value of the shares of each participating classes or series voted on such proposal at the relevant meeting (excluding any shares held by the acquiring party on the basis that they will be considered a separate “class”). If a scheme of arrangement receives the requisite shareholder approval and is subsequently sanctioned by the Cayman Islands courts, all holders of all classes or series of shares to which the series relates will be bound by the terms of the scheme of arrangement.

 

The Cayman Islands Companies Law also provides that, where an offer is made to acquire all of a class of shares and the holders of 90% or more in value of the shares of such class (excluding shares already held by the offeror) have accepted such offer within four months of it being made, the offeror may require the remaining shareholders in that class to transfer their shares on the same terms as set out in the offer by serving notice at any time within two months of the expiry of the four month period (subject to a right of such remaining shareholders to obtain relief from the Cayman Islands courts, as described below in “Appraisal rights”). If the offeror acquires more than 90% of the shares of a class following such an offer but does not exercise its compulsory acquisition right, the remaining shareholders have no right to require the offeror to acquire their shares on the terms of the offer following closure of the offer.

 

The Cayman Islands Companies Law also provides that business combinations can be effected by way of a merger of a Cayman Islands company with one or more other companies (wherever incorporated, provided that such merger is not prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of any such other company) with the approval of the shareholders by special resolution. In addition, the consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security of a constituent company in any such merger must be obtained, unless the Cayman Islands courts waive such requirement. Shareholders who register their dissent to the merger in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law have the right to receive the “fair value” of their shares in cash, subject to certain exceptions, as further described below in “Appraisal rights”).

 

Under Cayman Islands law, directors may dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of a Cayman Islands company without the approval of the shareholders, unless the articles of association specifically provide that shareholder consent or approval is required. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association do not impose shareholder approval rights for disposals of assets by us.

Appraisal rights  

Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.

 

For example, a stockholder is entitled to appraisal rights in the case of a merger or consolidation if the shareholder is required to accept in exchange for the shares anything other than: (i) shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof; (ii) shares of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, that on the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders; (iii) cash instead of fractional shares of the corporation or fractional depository receipts of the corporation; or (iv) any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash instead of the fractional shares or fractional depository receipts.

 

 The Cayman Islands Companies Law does not specifically provide for any appraisal rights.

 

However, in connection with the compulsory transfer of shares where a person has acquired at least 90% of the shares of the same class pursuant to an offer for all of the shares of that class and proceeds to serve notice of compulsory for acquisition of the remainder (as described above in “Business combinations”), any shareholder to whom such compulsory acquisition applies may apply to the Cayman Islands court within one month of receiving notice of the compulsory transfer to object to the transfer. In these circumstances, the burden is on the objecting shareholder to show that the court should exercise its discretion to prevent the compulsory transfer. The Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to grant any relief in the absence of bad faith, fraud, unequal treatment of shareholders or collusion as between the offeror and the holders of the shares who have accepted the offer as a means of unfairly forcing out minority shareholders.

 

In addition, in connection with a merger or a consolidation, dissenting shareholders have the right to object to the terms of merger or consolidation approved by special resolution and instead be paid the fair value of their shares in cash (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court).These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available in certain circumstances, for example, (i) to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or (ii) where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of the surviving or consolidated company (or depositary receipts in respect thereof) or shares of any other company (or depositary receipts in respect thereof) which are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognized interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than 2,000 holders.

Regulation of takeovers, substantial acquisition rules   Under the DGCL, certain fundamental changes such as amendments to the certificate of incorporation, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation not in the usual and regular course of the corporation’s business, or a dissolution of the corporation, are generally required to be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on the matter, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage.

However, under the DGCL, mergers in which less than 20% of a corporation’s stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger is issued generally do not require stockholder approval. In certain situations, the approval of a business combination may require approval by a certain number of the holders of a class or series of shares. In addition, Section 251(h) of the DGCL provides that stockholders of a constituent corporation need not vote to approve a merger if: (i) the merger agreement permits or requires the merger to be effected under Section 251(h) and provides that the merger shall be effected as soon as practicable following the tender offer or exchange offer, (ii) a corporation consummates a tender or exchange offer for any and all of the outstanding stock of such constituent corporation that would otherwise be entitled to vote to approve the merger, (iii) following the consummation of the offer, the stock accepted for purchase or exchanges plus the stock owned by the consummating corporation equals at least the percentage of stock that would be required to adopt the agreement of merger under the DGCL, (iv) the corporation consummating the offer merges with or into such constituent corporation and (v) each outstanding share of each class or series of stock of the constituent corporation that was the subject of and not irrevocably accepted for purchase or exchange in the offer is to be converted in the merger into, or the right to receive, the same consideration to be paid for the shares of such class or series of stock of the constituent corporation irrevocably purchased or exchanged in such offer.
  Except for specific rules that apply only to companies listed on the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange or companies that are regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (which are not applicable to us), there are no rules or restrictions under the Cayman Islands’ Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Rules Governing Substantial Acquisitions of Shares governing the acquisition of all or a specified percentage of direct or indirect voting rights in a Cayman Islands company, or the conduct of the directors of a Cayman Islands company following an actual or potential takeover or merger offer, nor are there any statutory restrictions in respect of defensive mechanisms which the board of directors could employ in respect of actual or potential takeover or merger offers.

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for a split of the board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual general meeting of our shareholders, the election or re-election of directors following the expiration of the term of office of the directors of that class of directors will be for a term of office that expires on the third annual general meeting following such election or re-election, such that each year the term of office of only one class of directors will expire.

 

21

 

 

Related party transactions   The DGCL provides that; unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by this statute, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that this 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 shares or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares 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 the 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.   The Cayman Islands Companies Law does not contain provisions specifically regulating the entry into contracts with related parties such as significant shareholders, directors, or their respective affiliates and other connected parties.

However, in the event that any payment obligation, transfer of property or grant of charge thereon is made to a related party that is also a creditor at a time when a company is insolvent, the Cayman Islands Companies Law provides that such transfer is deemed to be a preference and therefore is invalid if it occurred within six months immediately preceding the commencement of a liquidation.
         
Minority protection and derivative actions   Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders under Delaware law for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court generally has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action.   Under common law principles, shareholders in a Cayman Islands company are entitled to have the affairs of a company conducted in accordance with such company’s constitution and applicable law. As such, shareholders may bring personal or representative actions against a company in respect of breaches of their (and other similarly affected shareholders’) rights as shareholders under the constitution of the company and applicable law (for example, in the event that they are prevented from exercising voting rights, or from requisitioning a meeting).

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 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 which: (a) is ultra vires the company or illegal; (b) constitutes a fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (c) constitutes an infringement of individual rights of shareholders (such as a right to attend and vote at a meeting); and/or (d) has not been properly approved in accordance with any applicable special or extraordinary majority of the shareholders.
       
        The Cayman Islands Companies Law also gives power to the Cayman Islands courts to wind up a company if the courts are of the opinion that it would be just and equitable to do so (and if the courts consider it just and equitable to wind up the company, they may instead make other orders with respect to the company as an alternative to a winding up order). The basis on which the courts may make exercise such powers on application by shareholders in a Cayman Islands company have been held to include the following: (a) the substratum of the company has disappeared; (b) there has been some fraud on the minority or illegality; and (c) there has been mismanagement or misapplication of the company’s funds.

 

22

 

 

Access to books and records   Under Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware corporation have the right during normal business hours to inspect for any proper purpose, and to obtain copies of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation, and provided that such inspection is for a proper purpose which is reasonably related to such shareholder’s interest as a shareholder.  

Shareholders have no general right under the Cayman Islands Companies Law to inspect or obtain copies of the share register or the business or corporate records of a company, save that the Cayman Islands Companies Law requires that the register of mortgages and charges must be open to inspection by any shareholder or creditor of a company at all reasonable times.

 

As of October 1, 2019, under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, a list of names of the current directors and alternate directors of a company will also be available for inspection by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands to any person upon payment of a fee and subject to any conditions as the Registrar of Companies may impose.

         
Voluntary winding up and dissolution   Under the DGCL, 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. If the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors it may 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 Cayman Islands Companies Law, a voluntary liquidation may be commenced by the shareholders of a company if a special resolution is passed to that effect. The directors are then required to swear a declaration of the company’s solvency within 28 days of the voluntary liquidation resolution being passed. If the directors are unable to do so, the voluntary liquidator appointed by the voluntary liquidation resolution will apply to the Cayman Islands courts for a supervision order and the liquidation will proceed under the supervision of the Cayman Islands courts.

 

In addition, any shareholder who has held shares for at least six months (or any lesser period if the shares are held following transmission on death of a former shareholder) is entitled to petition the Cayman Islands courts to make a winding up order. A Cayman Islands court may make a winding up order if it is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up. However, where a shareholder has contractually agreed not to present a petition for winding up against a company, the Cayman Islands Companies Law provides that the Cayman Islands courts shall dismiss any petition for winding up by that shareholder.

 

23

 

 

        In respect of an insolvent liquidation, the Cayman Islands Companies Law provides that, upon a petition to the Cayman Islands courts made by the company itself or by any creditor (including a contingent or prospective creditor) or contributory, a company may be wound up if it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Cayman Islands courts that the company is unable to pay its debts. Where the Cayman Islands courts make an order for winding up, an official liquidator will be appointed by the court, and the directors of the company shall cease to have any power or authority.
         
        Provisional liquidators may also be appointed in certain circumstances in advance of the Cayman Islands courts making a winding up order, including on petition by a company where it is (or is likely to become) unable to pay its debts and intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors in order to restructure the company’s affairs. Where the Cayman Islands courts order the appointment of a provisional liquidator following an application by a company to permit such a restructuring, the powers of the provisional liquidator so appointed may be limited by the courts and the existing directors may be allowed to remain in control of the company, subject to the supervision of the court.
         
        Where the Cayman Islands courts have made a winding up order or an order to appoint provisional liquidators, no suit, action or other proceedings shall be continued or commenced against the company except with leave of the courts (although secured creditors retain their rights enforce their security without leave of the courts). In addition, any disposition of a company’s property following the commencement of winding up is, unless the Cayman Islands courts order otherwise and subject to the rights of enforcement by secured creditors, void.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

Cayman Islands

 

We are registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are registered in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provide protections for investors to a significantly lesser extent. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. Carey Olsen, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would, (1) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

Our Cayman Islands counsel has informed us that the uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relates to whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands’ company. Because the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

 

Our Cayman Islands counsel has further advised us that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a sum of money is payable, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in the courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law doctrine of obligation.

 

We are incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands. Service of process upon us and upon our directors and officers and the Israeli experts named in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, a substantial majority 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 a substantial of our directors and officers are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

 

Israel

It may be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws because Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.

 

25

 

 

Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter which, subject to certain exceptions, is non-appealable, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and including a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that among other things:

 

  the judgment is obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction, according to the laws of the state in which the judgment is given and the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel;
     
  the judgment is final and is not subject to any right of appeal;
     
  the prevailing law of the foreign state in which the judgment was rendered allows for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
     
  adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard and to present his or her evidence;

 

  the liabilities under the judgment are enforceable according to the laws of the State of Israel and the judgment and the enforcement of the civil liabilities set forth in the judgment is not contrary to the law or public policy in Israel nor likely to impair the security or sovereignty of Israel;
     
  the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgments in the same matter between the same parties;
     
  an action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court; and
     
  the judgment is enforceable according to the laws of Israel and according to the law of the foreign state in which the relief was granted.

 

If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. The usual practice in an action before an Israeli court to recover an amount in a non-Israeli currency is for the Israeli court to issue a judgment for the equivalent amount in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the judgment, but the judgment debtor may make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli CPI plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent that it may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

 

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, every current and former director and officer (excluding an auditor) is entitled to be indemnified out of our assets against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, which such indemnified person may incur in that capacity unless such liability arose as a result of the actual fraud or wilful default.

 

A Cayman Islands company may also purchase insurance for directors and certain other officers against liability incurred as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company. We expect to maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance covering our Guangzhou Yimei Innovative Medical Science and Technology Co., Ltd.’s directors and officers with respect to general civil liability, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers and our corporate secretary. Each such indemnification agreement provides the office holder with indemnification permitted under applicable law and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance.

 

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.

Financial Statement Schedules:

 

All financial statement schedules have been omitted because either they are not required, are not applicable or the information required therein is otherwise set forth in the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto.

 

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

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.
   
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment 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.

 

(3)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.

 

(4)To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 

II-8

 

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  i. If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

  A. Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

  B. Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness of the date of the first contract or sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date and underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 sale prior to such effective date, 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 effective date; or

 

  ii. If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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 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.

 

II-9

 

 

  (6) That, for the purpose of determining 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 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.

 

(b)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 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)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
  
(2)That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
