Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

  

On June 4, 2019, One Belt One Network Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Island company (the “OBON BVI”) and 70% owned subsidiary of IWEB, Inc. (the “Company”), OBON Corporation Company Limited, a Thailand Company (the “OBON Thailand”) and Ratanaphon Wongnapachant, a Thai citizen, a major shareholder of the Company, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the sole shareholder of OBON Thailand, entered into the following agreements, or collectively, the “Variable Interest Entity or VIE Agreements,” pursuant to which OBON BVI has contractual rights to control and operate the business of OBON Thailand (the “VIE”). OBON Thailand currently has no business or operations and was established as our VIE for our future business expansion and development in Thailand, which imposes certain restrictions on foreign invested companies.

 

The VIE Agreements are as follows:

 

1) Exclusive Technology Consulting and Service Agreement by and between OBON BVI and OBON Thailand. Pursuant to the Exclusive Technology Consulting and Service Agreement, OBON BVI agreed to act as the exclusive consultant of OBON Thailand and provide technology consulting and services to OBON Thailand. In exchange, OBON Thailand agreed to pay OBON BVI a technology consulting and service fee, the amount of which is decided by OBON BVI on the basis of the work performed and commercial value of the services, and the fee amount is to be equivalent to the amount of net profit before tax of OBON Thailand on a quarterly basis; provided that the minimum amount of which shall be no less than THB30,000 (approximately $951) per quarter. Without the prior written consent of OBON BVI, OBON Thailand may not accept the same or similar technology consulting and services provided by any third party during the term of the agreement. All the benefits and interests generated from the agreement, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, know-how and trade secrets, will be OBON BVI’s sole and exclusive property. The term of this agreement will expire on June 3, 2029 and may be extended unilaterally by OBON BVI with OBON BVI's written confirmation prior to the expiration date. OBON Thailand cannot terminate the agreement early unless OBON BVI commits fraud, gross negligence or illegal acts, or becomes bankrupt or winds up.

  

2) Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement by and among OBON BVI, OBON Thailand and Ratanaphon Wongnapachant. Pursuant to the Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement, Ratanaphon Wongnapachant granted to OBON BVI and any party designated by OBON BVI the exclusive right to purchase at any time during the term of this agreement all or part of the equity interests in OBON Thailand, or the “Equity Interests,” at a purchase price equal to the registered capital paid by Mr. Wongnapachant for the Equity Interests, or, in the event that applicable law requires an appraisal of the Equity Interests, the lowest price permitted under applicable law. Pursuant to a power of attorney executed by Mr. Wongnapachant, he irrevocably authorized any person appointed by OBON BVI to exercise all shareholder rights, including but not limited to voting on his behalf on all matters requiring approval of OBON Thailand’s shareholder, disposing of all or part of the shareholder's equity interest in OBON Thailand, and electing, appointing or removing directors and executive officers. The person designated by OBON BVI is entitled to dispose of dividends and profits on the equity interest without reliance on any oral or written instructions of Mr. Wongnapachant. The power of attorney will remain in force for so long as Mr. Wongnapachant remains the shareholder of OBON Thailand. Mr. Wongnapachant has waived all the rights which have been authorized to OBON BVI’s designated person under power of attorney.

  

3) Equity Pledge Agreement by and among OBON BVI, OBON Thailand and Ratanaphon Wongnapachant. Pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement, Mr. Wongnapachant pledged all of the Equity Interests to OBON BVI to secure the full and complete performance of the obligations and liabilities on the part of OBON Thailand and him under this and the above contractual arrangements. If OBON Thailand or Mr. Wongnapachant breaches their contractual obligations under these agreements, then OBON BVI, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests. Mr. Wongnapachant agrees that, during the term of the Equity Pledge Agreement, he will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests, and he also agrees that OBON BVI’s rights relating to the equity pledge should not be prejudiced by the legal actions of the shareholder of OBON Thailand, his successors or designees. During the term of the equity pledge, OBON BVI has the right to receive all of the dividends and profits distributed on the pledged equity. The Equity Pledge Agreement will terminate on the second anniversary of the date when OBON Thailand and Mr. Wongnapachant have completed all their obligations under the contractual agreements described above.

  

 

 

 

As a result of the above contractual arrangements, OBON BVI has substantial control over OBON Thailand’s daily operations and financial affairs, election of its senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary of OBON Thailand, the Company, via OBON BVI, is entitled to consolidate the financial results of OBON Thailand in its own consolidated financial statements.

 

The Exclusive Technology Consulting and Service, the Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement are filed as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary of the terms of the VIE Agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Exclusive Technology Consulting and Service, the Exclusive Purchase Option Agreement, and the Equity Pledge Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.
