On March 24, 2021, through Hua Zhi Guan (Hainan) Cross-Border E-Commerce Co., Ltd, we closed a Digital RMB Acceptance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lakala Payment Co., Ltd. (“LKL”), a leading third-party online payment operator in the People’s Republic of China. Under the Agreement, we will cooperate with LKL to accept POS terminal payments denominated in the new digital Renminbi, a digital version of China’s national currency backed by China’s central bank. An English translation of the Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

 

On April 2, 2021, our Board of Directors formed an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee (the “ESG Committee”). Mr. Li Hui Dan, Co-Chairman of the Board, will chair the ESG Committee. The ESG Committee of the Board will focus on our performance as a steward of nature, our relationship with our employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where we operate, as well as our corporate governance.

 

On April 12, 2021, we released the press release furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 regarding the Agreement with LKL and the ESG Committee.

 

On April 8, 2021, we closed the private offering of convertible preferred stock referenced in our earlier Report on Form 6-K filed February 26, 2021. For total subscription proceeds of $1,500,000, we issued 1,500,000 shares of our newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to a single investor. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock features a stated value of $1.00 and is convertible to shares of our common stock at any time after 6 months from the date of issue. Conversions are limited, however, such that no conversion may made to the extent that the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder at such time, would result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock votes together with out common stock on an as-if-converted basis, has no special dividend rights, and ranks equally to our common stock with respect to rights upon liquidation. All shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are subject to a two-year lock-up agreement running from the initial closing of the financing. Our offer and sale of the Series A Preferred Stock was exempt under Rule 506(b) under Regulation D, as it did not involve any general solicitation or advertising and was made to an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501 under Regulation D.

c. Limitation on the Conversion Subject to the Compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Certificate of Designations, and in addition to the limitation on conversion set forth in Section 5(b) above, if the Corporation determines that the conversion of all or a portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Holders into shares of Common Stock will result in the number of Common Stock issuable upon such cumulative conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock, will equal or more exceed twenty (20%) percent of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, such cumulative conversion shall be not allowed until the Corporation obtains the affirmative vote for such issuance from the holders of not less than fifty (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, together with the Holders, voting together as a single class on the as-converted basis (the “Shareholder Approval”) required by the listing rules of the Principal Market, provided further that if such conversion will result in the issuance of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten (10%) or more of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, although Shareholder Approval shall not be required, but no such conversion shall be effected until the earlier of fifteen calendar days from the date of the submission of a Listing of Additional Shares Form in compliance with the requirements of the Principal Market, and subject to any other applicable laws.

e. Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, either pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, or round-up to the next whole number of shares.  Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock the Holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

All shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Share Delivery Date, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor as provided herein, and, if applicable, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided herein.

 

g. Reservation of Shares Issuable upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms herein, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

6. Certain Adjustments.

 

a. Subdivision or Combination of Stock. If, at any time while the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Corporation shall subdivide (whether by way of stock dividend, stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be combined (whether by way of stock combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased. The Conversion Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 6(a).

 

b. Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification. If, at any time while the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

 

5 

 

 

(i) any Common Stock Equivalents, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

then and in each such case, the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Holder hereof shall, upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of stock and other securities and property that such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Common Stock as of the date on which holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional stock and other securities and property. The Series A Conversion Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described in this Section 6(b).

 

c.
