OVERVIEW

In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Buyer intends to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of the Target, with the Seller agreeing to sell its entire 99.55% holding in the Target, valued at approximately US$19,910,603 (the “Acquisition”). The remaining 0.45% of the Target’s shares held by minority shareholders shall be acquired by the Buyer through appropriate corporate action, which may include a statutory merger or other legally permissible mechanisms under Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL). The transaction is subject to the approval of the Target’s shareholders as per DGCL and compliance with the regulatory requirements, where applicable.

 

As consideration for the Acquisition, the Buyer agrees to issue to the Seller a Convertible Promissory Note (defined below) in the amount of US$19,910,603, which shall be convertible into such number of newly issued common shares of the Buyer, at US$1.85 per share (the “Conversion Rate”), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

   
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The transactions contemplated hereby involve related parties. The Seller and its subsidiaries collectively are a significant shareholder of the Buyer, owning approximately 78.20% of the issued and outstanding shares in the Buyer.

The Target currently owns approximately 45.69% of Value Exchange International Inc. (VEII). The Target has outstanding convertible note agreements with VEII that, when converted in full, will result in the Target owning approximately 76.22% of the total issued and outstanding shares of VEII, assuming a VEII price per share of US$0.006 (as per the closing price as of November 10, 2025).

 

The Buyer wishes to acquire 100% ownership of the Target, with the Seller selling its entire 99.55% holding, and through appropriate corporate action to acquire the remaining shares held by minority shareholders.

Upon conversion, the Buyer shall issue and deliver to the Seller the HWH Shares equal to the outstanding principal and accrued interest divided by the Conversion Rate.

 

Prepayment: The Buyer shall have the right to prepay all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest, without premium or penalty, upon ten- (10)-day written notice to the Seller.
