Exhibit 2.2

 

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

This exhibit contains a description of the rights of the holders of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The following description of our share capital does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by our amended and restated articles of association and by the applicable provisions of British Virgin Islands law.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

General

 

All of the Company’s issued shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates evidencing the shares are issued in registered form. There are no limitations imposed by the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the Company’s shares. In addition, there are no provisions in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

 

Under the BVI Act, the Ordinary Shares are deemed to be issued when the name of the shareholder is entered in the Company’s register of members. If (a) information that is required to be entered in the register of members is omitted from the register or is inaccurately entered in the register, or (b) there is unreasonable delay in entering information in the register, a shareholder of the company, or any person who is aggrieved by the omission, inaccuracy or delay, may apply to the British Virgin Islands Courts for an order that the register be rectified, and the court may either refuse the application or order the rectification of the register, and may direct the company to pay all costs of the application and any damages the applicant may have sustained.

 

Dividends

 

The holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors subject to the BVI Act.

 

Voting Rights

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders must be effected at a duly called meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote on such action or may be effected by a resolution of members in writing, each in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. At each meeting of shareholders, each shareholder who is present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) will have one vote for each share that such shareholder holds.

 

Transfer of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the restrictions contained in the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, any of the Company’s shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by the Company’s board of directors.

  

 

Liquidation

 

As permitted by the BVI Act and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company may be voluntarily liquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if the Company’s assets exceed the Company’s liabilities and the Company is able to pay the Company’s debts as they fall due. The Company may also be wound up in circumstances where the Company is insolvent in accordance with the terms of the BVI Insolvency Act (Law Revision 2020).

 

 

 

If the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the Company’s shareholders are more than sufficient to repay all amounts paid to the Company on account of the issue of shares immediately prior to the winding up, the excess shall be distributable pari passu among those shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up immediately prior to the winding up on the shares held by them, respectively. If the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the shareholders as such are insufficient to repay the whole of the amounts paid to the Company on account of the issue of shares, those assets shall be distributed so that, to the greatest extent possible, the losses shall be borne by the shareholders in proportion to the amounts paid up immediately prior to the winding up on the shares held by them, respectively. If the Company is wound up, the liquidator appointed by the Company may, in accordance with the BVI Act, divide among the Company’s shareholders in specie or kind the whole or any part of the Company’s assets (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose, set such value as the liquidator deems fair upon any property to be divided and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. 

 

Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares

 

The Company’s board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their Ordinary Shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 clear days prior to the specified time of payment. The Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

 

Redemption of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the provisions of the BVI Act, the Company may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at the Company’s option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and subject to any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the BVI Act, the SEC, the Nasdaq Capital Market, or by any recognized stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

 

Variations of Rights of Shares

 

If at any time the Company is authorized to issue more than one class of shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class of shares may be amended only with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting of not less than 50 percent of the shares of the class to be affected.

 

General Meetings of Shareholders

 

Under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a copy of the notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given not less than seven days before the date of the proposed meeting to those persons whose names appear as shareholders in the register of members on the date of the notice and are entitled to vote at the meeting. The Company’s board of directors shall call a meeting of shareholders upon the written request of shareholders holding at least 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares. In addition, the Company’s board of directors may call a meeting of shareholders on its own motion. A meeting of shareholders may be called on short notice if at least 90% of the shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered at the meeting have agreed to short notice of the meeting, or if all members holding shares entitled to vote on all or any matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice and presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver for this purpose.

 

At any meeting of shareholders, a quorum will be present if there are shareholders present in person or by proxy representing not less than 50 percent of the shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the meeting. Such quorum may be represented by only a single shareholder or proxy. If No quorum is present within two hours of the start time of the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved if it was requested by shareholders. In any other case, the meeting shall be adjourned to the next business day, and if shareholders representing not less than one-third of the votes of the Ordinary Shares or each class of shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered at the meeting are present within one hour of the start time of the adjourned meeting, a quorum will be present. If not, the meeting will be dissolved. No business may be transacted at any meeting of shareholders unless a quorum is present at the commencement of business. If present, the chair of our board of directors shall be the chair presiding at any meeting of the shareholders. If the chair of our board is not present then the members present shall choose a shareholder to act to chair the meeting of the shareholders. If the shareholders are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present in person or by proxy shall preside as chairman, failing which the oldest individual member or member representative shall take the chair.

A corporation that is a shareholder shall be deemed for the purpose of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to be present in person if represented by its duly authorized representative. This duly authorized representative shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were the Company’s individual shareholder.

 

Inspection of Books and Records

 

Under the BVI Act, members of the general public, on payment of a nominal fee, can obtain copies of the public records of a company available at the office of the Registrar of Corporate Affairs, which will include the company’s certificate of incorporation, its memorandum and articles of association (with any amendments) and records of license fees paid to date and will also disclose any articles of dissolution, articles of merger and a register of charges if the company has elected to file such a register.

 

A member of the Company is also entitled, upon giving written notice to the Company, to inspect (i) the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, (ii) the register of members, (iii) the register of directors and (iv) minutes of meetings and resolutions of members and of those classes of members of which that member is a member, and to make copies and take extracts from the documents and records referred to in (i) to (iv) above. However, the Company’s directors may, if they are satisfied that it would be contrary to the company’s interests to allow a member to inspect any document, or part of a document specified in (ii) to (iv) above, refuse to permit the member to inspect the document or limit the inspection of the document, including limiting the making of copies or the taking of extracts or records. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” on page 136 of this prospectus. Where a company fails or refuses to permit a member to inspect a document or permits a member to inspect a document subject to limitations, that member may apply to the BVI court for an order that he should be permitted to inspect the document or to inspect the document without limitation. 

 

Changes in Capital

 

The Company may from time to time by resolution of shareholders or resolution of the Company’s board of directors, subject to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

 

amend the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to increase or decrease the maximum number of shares the Company is authorized to issue;

 

split the Company’s authorized and issued shares into a larger number of shares;

 

combine the Company’s authorized and issued shares into a smaller number of shares; and

 

create new classes of shares with preferences to be determined by resolution of the board of directors to amend the memorandum and articles of association to create new classes of shares with such preferences at the time of authorization.
