INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

 

Why did you send me this proxy statement?

 

This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Longduoduo Company Limited, a Nevada corporation, for use at the Annual Meeting of its shareholders to be held on February 29, 2024, at G3-5-8016, Shui’an Town, Ruyi Headquarters Base, Hohhot Economic Development Zone, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China, at 9:30 a.m. local time, and at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. The Company first mailed notice and access to this proxy statement to shareholders on or about January 12, 2024. This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to make an informed vote on the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card by postal mail or email, in each case to the address provided on the Proxy Card. The terms “Longduoduo,” “Company,” “we,” or “our” refer to Longduoduo Company Limited.

 

What are the proposals to be addressed at this meeting?

 

We will address the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

 

1.To elect directors, each to serve until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until each successor is duly elected and qualified;

 

2.To ratify the appointment of Michael T. Studer CPA, P.C.. as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024;

 

3.To approve, on an advisory basis, the Company’s executive compensation;

 

4.To recommend, on an advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation; and

 

5.To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.

 

Who may attend the meeting?

 

Only shareholders, their proxy holders, and our invited guests may attend the Annual Meeting. If you plan to attend, please bring identification, and, if you hold shares in street name, you should bring your bank or broker statement showing your beneficial ownership of Longduoduo stock in order to be admitted to the meeting.

 

Who can vote?

 

You can vote at the Annual Meeting in all matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting if, as of the close of business on the Record Date, January 4, 2024, you were a holder of record of our common stock. On the Record Date, there were 30,005,008 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

 

How many votes do I have?

 

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting.

 

Why would the Annual Meeting be postponed or adjourned?

 

The Annual Meeting will be postponed if a quorum is not present on February 29, 2024 at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner signs and returns a proxy but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned by those shareholders who are represented. The meeting may be rescheduled at the time of the adjournment with no further notice of the rescheduled time. An adjournment will have no effect on the business to be conducted.

How do I vote by proxy?

 

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in accordance with the mailing instructions on the proxy card. Returning the proxy card will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

 

If you properly fill in your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board as follows:

 

1. FOR the election of the director nominees;

 

2. FOR Proposals 2 and 3; and

 

3. FOR a frequency of three years on Proposal 4.

 

If any other matters are presented, your proxy will vote in accordance with his best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was printed, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

 

How do I vote in person?

 

If you plan to attend and vote in person at the Annual Meeting or at a later date if the meeting is adjourned or postponed, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring a power of attorney executed by the broker, bank or other nominee that owns the shares of record for your benefit and authorizing you to vote the shares.

 

If your shares are registered in your name, you are a shareholder of record with respect to those shares. On the other hand, if your shares are registered in the name of your broker or bank, your shares are held in street name and you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares. As the beneficial owner of those shares, you have the right to direct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, and you will receive separate instructions from your broker or bank describing how to vote your shares.

 

May I revoke my proxy?

 

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. You may revoke your proxy in three ways:

 

1.You may send in another proxy with a later date.

 

2.You may notify us in writing (or if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal, by an officer or attorney of the corporation) at our principal executive offices before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your proxy.

 

3.You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

What vote is required to take action?

 

Proposal 1 (Election of Directors): A plurality of the eligible votes cast is required to elect director nominees at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present in person or by proxy. A nominee who receives a plurality means s/he has received more votes than any other nominee for the same director’s seat.

 

Proposals 2 and 3: The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, either by proxy or in person, and entitled to vote is required to approve each of these proposals.

 

2

 

 

Proposal 4 (Frequency of Vote on Executive Compensation): The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present, either by proxy or in person, and entitled to vote is required to approve one of the options provided.

 

Any shares not voted (whether by abstention or broker non-votes) will have no impact on the election of directors, except to the extent that withholding the authority to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger number of votes. Most brokers are subject to rules which prohibit them from “discretionary” voting on certain proposals unless they receive specific instruction from the beneficial owner to vote on such matters. Such rules prohibit the brokers to vote with respect to proposals related to director elections and equity compensation, absent such instruction, but such rules currently do not prohibit the brokers to vote on proposals related to ratification of accountants in the absence of such instructions if and as they choose. Your shares will not be voted in the election for director under Proposal 1 or with respect to Proposals 3 and 4 if you hold your shares in “street name” and do not instruct your broker how to vote, so please instruct your broker and make your vote count.

 

Who is making this solicitation?

 

We are soliciting your vote through the use of the mail and will bear the cost of this solicitation. We will not employ third party solicitors, but our directors, officers, employees, and consultants may solicit proxies by mail, telephone or personal contact. We will reimburse their expenses for doing this. We will also reimburse brokers, fiduciaries, and custodians for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our stock. Other proxy solicitation expenses include those for preparation, mailing, returning, and tabulating the proxies.

 

Are there any rights of appraisal?

 

The Board is not proposing any action for which the laws of the State of Nevada, our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, as amended from time to time, provide a right of a shareholder to obtain appraisal of or payment for such shareholder’s shares.

 

Where are the principal executive offices of Longduoduo?

 

Our principal executive offices are located at Longduoduo Company Limited, G3-5-8016, Shui’an Town, Ruyi Headquarters Base, Hohhot Economic Development Zone, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China and our telephone number is 86-0472- 510-4980.

 

How can I obtain additional information about Longduoduo?

 

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is being made available online along with this proxy statement. Additional copies will be furnished without charge to shareholders upon written request. Exhibits to the Annual Report will be provided upon written request. All written requests should be directed to: Longduoduo Company Limited, c/o Investor Relations, G3-5-8016, Shui’an Town, Ruyi Headquarters Base, Hohhot Economic Development Zone, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China 010000.

 

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which requires that we file reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. The SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding companies, including Longduoduo, that file electronically with the SEC. The SEC’s website address is http://www.sec.gov.

 

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. EVEN IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING, WE
ENCOURAGE YOU TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD TO ENSURE
THAT YOUR SHARES ARE REPRESENTED AND VOTED. THIS BENEFITS THE COMPANY BY
REDUCING THE EXPENSES OF ADDITIONAL PROXY SOLICITATION.

Did the directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent stockholders comply with the Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting requirements in fiscal year 2023?

Longduoduo Company Limited was not registered pursuant to Section 12(g) during fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, as it did not register until November 27, 2023. Therefore, the officers, directors and 10% stockholders of Longduoduo were not required to comply with Section 16(a) during fiscal year 2023.

Director and Board Nominee Independence

 

Although the common stock issued by Longduoduo is not yet listed on Nasdaq or any securities exchange, our Board has chosen, as of November 30, 2023, to comply with the independence and committee requirements set forth in the Nasdaq Rules. Pursuant to those requirements, our Board of Directors will undertake an annual review of director independence. During this review, the Board will considers transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his immediate family and Longduoduo and its affiliates, including those transactions that are contemplated under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K. The purpose of this review will be to determine whether any such relationships or transactions existed that were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. Based on its review on November 30, 2023, the Board determined that two of our directors are not “independent” as defined by Nasdaq Rules: Xu Huibo and Zhou Hongxiao. Accordingly, only one of those two, Xu Huibo, serves on the Compensation Committee and neither serves on the Audit Committee or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has also determined that the other three members of the Board, Li Zhijie, Wu Binbin and Shan Bo, are “independent” for purposes of Section 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the Rules of Nasdaq. The Board based these determinations primarily on a review of the responses of the directors and executive officers to questions regarding employment and transaction history, affiliations and family and other relationships and on discussions with the directors.

Membership, Meetings and Attendance

 

The Board of Directors oversees the business affairs of Longduoduo and monitors the performance of management. Although the Board did not meet formally during the year ended June 30, 2023, members of the Board of Directors discussed various business matters informally on numerous occasions throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and acted by written unanimous consent on two occasions.

 

Our Board did not have any committees during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, so the Board itself performed the functions of an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. On November 30, 2023, the Board adopted charters for an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

 

Audit Committee

 

The members of the Audit Committee are Shan Bo, Li Zhijie and Wu Binbin.

Shan Bo currently serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that Shan Bo is an audit committee financial expert as defined by Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and is “independent” within the meaning of Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.

 

The purposes of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in its general oversight of Longduoduo’s financial reporting, internal controls and audit functions. As described in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities are to oversee on behalf of the Board:

 

the Company’s accounting financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements;

 

the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualification, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors;

 

the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirement; and

 

the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Audit Committee also has the purpose of preparing the Audit Committee Report that SEC rules require the Company to include in its annual proxy statement. The Audit Committee’s function is one of oversight only and does not relieve management of its responsibilities for preparing financial statements that accurately and fairly present the Company’s financial results and conditions, nor the independent auditors of their responsibilities to the audit or review of financial statements.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and recommends policies, practices, and procedures relating to compensation for our directors, officers and other employees and advising and consulting with our officers regarding managerial personnel and development.

The compensation committee has not engaged any consultants since it was organized.

 

Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee

 

The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) are Li Zhijie, Wu Binbin and Shan Bo. Li Zhijie currently serves as Chairman of the Nominating Committee.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Zhou Hongxiao is our Chief Executive Officer, while Xu Huibo serves as Chairman of our Board. It is the opinion of our Board that allocating those responsibilities to separate persons increases the likelihood that management will be most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. In addition, the Board believes that dividing the role of Chairman from the responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of shareholders because it provides a balance between strategy development and independent oversight of management.

 

Independent directors and management have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. The Company’s independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside the company and industry, while the executive officers promotes strategy development and execution, and facilitate information flow between management and the Board, which are essential to effective governance. Shan Bo, Chairman of our Audit Committee, Wu Binbin, Chairman of our Compensation Committee, and Li Zhijie, Chairman of our Nominating Committee, are independent directors. As independent directors, they prepare agendas and maintain contact between the Board and management of the Company. Our Board believes this arrangement has and continues to serve the best interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Board considered whether the current leadership structure continues to be appropriate for the Company. The Board believes that directors should be responsive to the Company’s evolving circumstances and objectives and therefore may in the future modify the Board’s leadership structure when and as necessary.

 

The Board views its role in the Company’s risk oversight process in receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including strategic, operational, reporting and compliance risks. The full Board (or the appropriate standing committee of the Board in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) is to receive these reports from the appropriate party within the organization that is responsible for a particular risk or set of risks to enable it to understand our risk identification, management and mitigation strategies. During its regular course of its activities, our Audit Committee discusses our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.

 

Shareholder Communications with Directors

 

We have no formal written policy regarding communication with the Board. Persons wishing to write to the Board or to a specified director or committee of the Board should send correspondence to the Secretary at our executive offices. Electronic submissions of shareholder correspondence will not be accepted. The Secretary will forward to the directors all communications that, in her judgment, are appropriate for consideration by the directors. Examples of communications that would not be appropriate for consideration by the directors include commercial solicitations and matters not relevant to the shareholders, to the functioning of the Board, or to the affairs of Longduoduo. Any correspondence received that is addressed generically to the Board will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board. If the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director, a copy will be sent to the Chairman of the Audit Committee as well.

 

Board Member Attendance at Annual Meetings

 

All current Board members and all nominees for election to our Board are expected to attend our Annual Meetings unless personal circumstances make the Board member or director nominee attendance impracticable or inappropriate.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all directors, officers and employees which complies with the definition of a “code of ethics” as set forth in Item 406 of SEC Regulation S-K. The Code of Ethics is available upon written request to the Company and may be read on the Company’s website.

PROPOSAL 2

 

RATIFICATION OF AUDITOR

 

General

 

Our Board of Directors has selected the firm of Michael T. Studer CPA, P.C. (“Studer CPA”) to audit the financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 and seeks shareholder ratification of said appointment. The Board believes that Studer CPA has the personnel, professional qualifications and independence necessary to act as the Company’s independent auditors. A representative of Studer CPA will be in attendance at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by telephone. The representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

 

The ratification by our shareholders of the Board’s selection of independent public accountants is not mandated by Nevada law, our bylaws or other legal requirements. However, the Board is submitting its selection of Studer CPA to our shareholders for ratification this year. If the selection of Studer CPA is ratified by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, nevertheless may select and appoint a different independent accounting firm at any time. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection of Studer CPA, the Audit Committee will reconsider the retention of that firm, but the Audit Committee would not be required to select another firm as independent public accountants and may nonetheless retain Studer CPA. If the Audit Committee does select another firm to serve as the Company’s independent public accountants, whether or not the shareholders have ratified the selection of Studer CPA, the Audit Committee would not be required to call a special meeting of the shareholders to seek ratification of the selection, and in all likelihood would not call a special meeting for that purpose. In all cases, the Audit Committee will make any determination as to the selection of the Company’s independent public accountants in light of the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

 

Audit Fees

 

Our current principal independent auditor is Michael T. Studer CPA, P.C. The Company engaged Studer CPA on September 29, 2023 to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Studer CPA with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

Services Performed  2018 
Audit Fees (1)  $120,000 
Audit-Related Fees (2)   -- 
Tax Fees (3)   -- 
All Other Fees (4)   -- 
Total Fees  $120,000 

 

 

(1)Audit fees represent fees billed for professional services provided in connection with the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, reviews of its quarterly financial statements, and audit services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings for those years. All work on the engagements to audit the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023 was performed by full-time permanent employees of Michael T. Studer CPA, P.C.

 

(2)Audit-related fees represent fees billed primarily for assurance and related services not reported under Audit fees.

 

(3)Tax fees principally represent fees billed for tax preparation, tax advice and tax planning services.

 

(4)All other fees principally would include fees billed for products and services provided by the accountant, other than the services reported under the three captions above.

 

Our Audit Committee had not yet been constituted when Studer CPA performed its audit of our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023. Going forward, our Audit Committee will have the sole authority to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent accountants. The Audit Committee, on an annual basis, will review audit and non-audit services performed by the independent accountants. The Audit Committee will considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the accountants’ independence. As permitted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. Any service pre-approved by a delegate must be reported to the Audit Committee at the next scheduled quarterly meeting. The Audit Committee will consider whether the provision of the auditors’ services, other than for the annual audit and quarterly reviews, is compatible with its independence.

 

Vote Required for Approval of Proposal 2; Board Recommendation

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, either by proxy or in person, and entitled to vote is required to approve this proposal.

 

The Board recommends a vote FOR this Proposal 2.

PROPOSAL 3

 

ADVISORY APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was enacted in July 2010, and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act require that we allow our shareholders the opportunity to vote to approve the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (the “Named Executive Officers”) as set forth in this Proxy Statement. The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of executive compensation. Instead, the vote relates to the executive compensation of our named executive officers, as set forth in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This vote is advisory and not binding on our Company or our Board of Directors. However, in the event of any significant vote against this proposal, the Board of Directors will consider whether any actions are appropriate to respond to shareholder concerns.

 

We are asking shareholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the section of this proxy statement titled “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers.” We have designed our compensation programs to:

 

attract and retain high performing and experienced executives;
   
motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success; and
   
motivate our executives to manage our business to meet our short and long-term objectives, and reward them for meeting these objectives.

 

We urge shareholders to read the Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers section, which provides detailed information on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The Board of Directors believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers section are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our Named Executive Officers reported in this proxy statement has supported and contributed to our success.

 

Vote Required for Approval of Proposal 3; Board Recommendation

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present, either by proxy or in person, and entitled to vote is required to approve this proposal.

 

The Board recommends a vote FOR this Proposal 3.

PROPOSAL 4

 

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING FUTURE

ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Under the Dodd-Frank Act, Longduoduo Company Limited stockholders may vote, on an advisory, non-binding basis, on how frequently they would like to cast an advisory vote on the compensation of Longduoduo Company Limited’s named executive officers. By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every one, two, or three years. Although this vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors values the views of our stockholders and will review the voting results.

 

After careful consideration of the frequency alternatives, we believe that conducting an advisory vote on executive compensation once every three years is currently appropriate for Longduoduo Company Limited and its stockholders, as that schedule would provide adequate information about shareholder attitudes on the subject with the least administrative expense.

 

Vote Required for Approval of Proposal 4; Board Recommendation

 

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present, either by proxy or in person, and entitled to vote is required to recommend one of the alternatives.

 

The Board recommends a vote that the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation be EVERY THREE YEARS.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors was constituted on November 30, 2023, after the Report of Michael T. Studer CPA, P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, was submitted to the SEC. Therefore, the Audit Committee did not prepare a recommendation to the Board with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2023.

 

In connection with the preparation of future annual financial statements, the Audit Committee will discuss with the auditor the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee will also review the written disclosures and the letter from the auditor required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and will discuss with the auditor its independence from the Company.

 

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee will prepare a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024 and thereafter should be included in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

 

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

 

Management is not aware of any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by securities holdings or otherwise of any officer, director, nominee for director, or associate of the foregoing persons in any matter to be acted on, as described herein, other than the interests specifically described in the Proposals.

 

Shareholder Proposals and Submissions for Inclusion in the Proxy Statement

for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

 

We presently intend to hold our next annual meeting of Shareholders in February 2025. A proxy statement and notice of the 2025 Annual Meeting will be mailed to all shareholders approximately one month prior to that date. Shareholder proposals must be received at our principal executive offices located at G3-5-8016, Shui’an Town, Ruyi Headquarters Base, Hohhot Economic Development Zone, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China 010000 no later than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the mailing date of this Proxy Statement; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the next annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, notice by the shareholder must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the date on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made. All shareholder proposals received after the deadline will be considered untimely and will not be included in the proxy statement for the next annual meeting.

 

Other Matters

 

The Board knows of no other matters which will come before the meeting. However, if any matters other than those set forth in the notice should be properly presented for action, the persons named in the proxy intend to take such action as will be in harmony with the policies of the Company and will use their discretion.

 

Householding of Proxy Materials

 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “house holding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for us. If you are now receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and would like to have only one copy of these documents delivered to your household in the future, please call, email or write to us at (86-0472) 510-4980, longduoduo2021@163.com or Longduoduo Company Limited, G3-5-8016, Shui’an Town, Ruyi Headquarters Base, Hohhot Economic Development Zone, Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China 010000, Attention: Investor Relations.

 

Exhibits set forth in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 will be sent to shareholders by first class mail, without charge, within one day of the Company’s receipt of a written or oral request for said exhibits.
