Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On November 21, 2024, Powell Max Limited business company (the “Company”) entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd.

The Ordinary Shares to be issued under the SEPA will be issued according to the pricing mechanisms contained in the SEPA as selected by the Company, and subject to certain terms and conditions. In accordance with the SEPA, the Company has paid the Investor a structuring fee in the amount of $25,000 and has issued to the Investor 63,898 Ordinary Shares in settlement of 50% of the commitment fee. The remaining 50% of the commitment fee in the sum of $200,000 will be settled in cash or by way of an advance under the SEPA, on or before May 21, 2025.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

Convertible Promissory Notes

 

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the SEPA, the Investor shall advance up to $3,000,000 (a “Pre-Advance”) to the Company, with each Pre-Advance to be evidenced by a convertible promissory note (each, a “Note”) issuable at an original issuance discount of 8%, on different dates following the signing of the SEPA. The first Pre-Advance, in the principal amount of $1,000,000, was advanced on November 21, 2024. At the election of the Investor, all or a portion of the principal, interest, or other amounts outstanding under each Note may be converted into shares of Ordinary Shares in accordance with the mechanisms set forth in the Notes. The Company has the option to redeem the Notes prior to their maturity dates. In addition, for so long as there is a balance outstanding under the Notes, the Investor, at its sole discretion, may convert such outstanding balance or part thereof into the Ordinary Shares.
