Mega Matrix Inc.
Up to 1,397,727
Class A Ordinary Shares
This prospectus relates
to the offer and sale of our Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares” or “Class
A Shares”), on a resale basis, by the selling shareholders identified herein or their permitted transferees, of up to an aggregate
of 1,397,727 Class A Ordinary Shares, consisting of: (i) 681,818 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Series A warrants
(the “Series A Warrants”), (ii) 681,818 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Series B warrants (the “Series
B Warrants”), and (iii) 34,091 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of placement agent warrants (the “Placement
Agent Warrants,” and together with Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants, the “Warrants”) owned by certain holders.
The Warrants were issued to the selling shareholders in connection with a private placement we completed on August 5, 2024 (the “Private
Placement”).
We are not offering any
Class A Ordinary Shares for sale by us under this prospectus. We are registering the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus
to be sold by the selling shareholders under the terms of a registration rights agreement dated August 1, 2024 entered into with the
selling shareholders in connection with the Private Placement. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders
of the Class A Ordinary Shares. Upon any exercise of the Warrants in for cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the respective
Warrants.
Following the effectiveness
of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the selling shareholders may, from time to time, sell, transfer,
or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the securities are
traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices
related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. For more information,
see “Plan of Distribution.”
Each time we sell securities,
we will provide a supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the offering and the terms of the securities.
The supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. We may also authorize one or more free writing
prospectuses to be provided in connection with a specific offering. You should read this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and any
free writing prospectus before you invest in any of our securities.
Our Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on the NYSE American under the
symbol “MPU.” On February 5, 2025, the last reported sales price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $1.02 per share.
This prospectus describes
the general manner in Class A Ordinary Shares may be offered and sold by any selling shareholders. When the selling shareholders sell
Class A Ordinary Shares under this prospectus, we may, if necessary and required by law, provide a prospectus supplement that will contain
specific information about the terms of that offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add to, update, modify or replace information
contained in this prospectus. We urge you to read carefully this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, and any documents we incorporate
by reference into this prospectus before you make your investment decision.
As of the date of this
prospectus, our issued and outstanding share capital consists of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.001
per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares” or “Class B Shares”). Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary
Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a shareholder vote, each Class A
Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share will be entitled to 50 votes. Each Class B Ordinary Share
is convertible into one class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof. See “Description of Share Capital.”
As of the date hereof,
our chairperson, chief executive officer and president, Mr. Yuchen Hu, holds 30,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 5,933,700 Class
B Ordinary Shares, representing a combined 89.52% voting power, which provides Mr. Hu with control over a majority of the combined voting
power of all our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and therefore will be able to control all matters submitted
to our shareholders for approval until a significant portion of such outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares he holds are converted
into Chass A Ordinary Shares as further described in “Description of Share Capital”.
As of January 24,
2025, the aggregate market value worldwide of our outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates was approximately
$68,705,625.78, based on 34,753,811 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 34,699,811 Class A Ordinary Shares were held by
non-affiliates, and a per Class A Ordinary Share price of 1.98 based on the closing sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares on
NYSE American on December 6, 2024. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3, in no event will securities be sold, pursuant
to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, for a value exceeding one-third of the aggregate market value
of our outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates in any 12-month period, so long as the aggregate market value of
our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates is less than $75.0 million. No securities have been offered or sold pursuant to
General Instruction I.B.5 on Form F-3 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date of this

IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN “EMERGING
GROWTH COMPANY”
AND A “FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER”
We qualify as an “emerging
growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an “emerging
growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from specified disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise
generally applicable to public companies. These exemptions include:
|
● |
not being required to
comply with the auditor attestation requirements for the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting provided by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); |
|
● |
reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation; and |
|
● |
not being required to
hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved. |
We may take advantage
of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”
We are also considered
a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange
Act”). As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. For example:
|
● |
we are not required
to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently, as a domestic public company; |
|
● |
for interim reporting,
we are permitted to comply solely with our home country requirements, which are less rigorous than the rules that apply to domestic
public companies; |
|
● |
we are not required
to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation; |
|
● |
we are exempt from provisions
of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; |
|
● |
we are not required
to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of
a security registered under the Exchange Act; and |
|
● |
we are not required
to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities
and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction. |

Our business
FlexTV Operations
Through Yuder, we now
operates FlexTV, a short drama streaming platform based in Singapore that produces English and Thai dramas that are also translated into
different languages for our users that are spread across various parts of the world such as Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. In addition
to creating original dramas, Yuder also acquires third party content licenses which it then translates and distributes on is FlexTV platform.
Our focus is to be a leading
short drama streaming platform in the global streaming video industry. FlexTV stands out as an innovative force, introducing short dramas
as a unique form of storytelling, committed to leading vertical screen entertainment globally.
Short dramas aim to capture
the essence of narratives within concise time frames, typically formatted vertically for optimal viewing on mobile phones, ranging from
1 (one) to 3 (three) minutes per episode. Each episode seamlessly integrates into a series, where complete storylines unfold across 40
(forty) to over 100 (one hundred) episodes. Short dramas usually offer users a virtual escape, presenting narratives that resonate with
emotions, fostering a sense of connection, and serving as a wellspring of comfort or inspiration in the digital realm.
The move from conventional
TV streaming to short drama streaming is a worldwide shift, offering users enhanced options and increased flexibility in their entertainment
choices. We acknowledge the significant and profound impact of short video platforms on viewer behaviors, characterized by shorter attention
spans, vertical screen viewing, and increased multitasking. We leverage the substantial void between the long-form dramas provided by
entities like Netflix and the predominantly influencer-created short videos.
The content characteristics
of short dramas determine that they can be produced in quick batches and monetized rapidly. Users are used to scrolling through videos,
movie narrations and at a faster pace. The threshold for short drama production has lowered, with lower costs, shorter cycles, and higher
operational efficiency. Short dramas are more attractive, more direct, faster-paced, and better suited for mobile entertainment.
We recognize the significant
impact of short video platforms like Facebook Reels, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and others on user behaviors. Our dedication
to innovative short dramas stems from a deep understanding of evolving viewing habits influenced by shorter attention spans and increased
multitasking.
We are steadfast in delivering
innovative content that connects with diverse audiences worldwide, promoting cultural appreciation and entertainment on a global scale,
and bringing joy to the lives of users worldwide. The content characteristics of short dramas determine that they can be produced in
quick batches and monetized rapidly.
Our Business Model
FlexTV has already formed
a mature content business model that integrates content production, distribution, and operation. Short drama content on the FlexTV platform
is divided into two categories: one category consists of dramas in which we participate in production, primarily in English and Thai,
and the other category consists of translated dramas, where we purchase the copyrights of completed high-quality short dramas from third
parties and then translate them into multiple languages, including but not limited to, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean,
French, Arabic and Thai. As of November 30, 2024, FlexTV had a total inventory of around 420 short dramas, with 334 already released.
Among the released dramas, 71 are self-produced.
A typical timeline for
launching one short drama product is divided into three stages. The first stage is the script polishing period, which lasts approximately
15-30 days. The second stage is the filming and post-production stage, which lasts around 14-30 days. The third stage is the release
stage, primarily lasting within 30-60 days.
To acquire the best scripts,
FlexTV pioneered the adoption of studios nurturing and supporting content production partners. We have strict criteria for selecting
short drama studios and their scripts. First, we integrate user research in the topic and script stages with internal original production
and external procurement. Then, in the matching production studios and evaluation stage, we establish a stable producing process, efficient
editing, and a hit production experience. This approach ensures a stable industrialized supply of content.
We generate platform revenue
primarily through top-up and membership fees for services related to streaming content to our users and advertisements presented on our
streaming service.
We offer a variety of
streaming top-up and membership plans, the price of which varies by country and the features of the plan. Users typically can watch about
five (5) to ten (10) episodes of each short drama on our platform for free. To continue watching, they will need to become subscription
members or top up their account to acquire in-app coins on our platform, which are then used to continue viewing the short dramas. Users
can also earn in-app coins to watch short dramas by completing daily and new user tasks, such as watching ads, inviting friends, and
sharing FlexTV on Facebook and TikTok. The in-app coins can only be used on our platform and are not transferrable. Users can subscribe
to FlexTV memberships on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis, and during the membership subscription period, users will have unlimited
access to view any short drama on FlexTV. We measure monetization of our platform by calculating the average revenue per active user
(“ARPU”), which we believe represents the inherent value of our business model.
In addition, in the three
months ended September 30, 2024, the Company launched its content licensing business where it licenses its self-produced short dramas
to third party platform providers and allow the platform to distribute the short dramas for an agreed period of time. This allows the
Company to leverage its content library that it is developing from its self-produced short dramas.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that FlexTV
has the following competitive advantages:
Content barrier:
We continuously nurture and incubate studios that supply content to our platform, assisting them in establishing industrialized production
processes. In the short term, we provide funding for studio content production. FlexTV encourages healthy competition, and we anticipate
more studios shifting towards producing short-form content in the future. As the number of studios on the platform increases and their
capabilities improve, studios will raise funds independently to produce content. FlexTV provides more traffic and distribution resources
for good content, significantly reducing the risk of platform investment in content production.
Network effects:
As the platform’s content library accumulates, it attracts more users to watch content for longer durations, generating more revenue
for the platform. This, in turn, attracts more studios to create content for the platform, resulting in a positive feedback loop.
Global distribution
resources: We own the rights to series, translating them into various languages for global distribution. Through our proprietary
advertising placement system, KOL distribution, and media copyright cooperation resources, we can rapidly increase the series’
influence and generate substantial revenue within a short period. Outstanding distribution capabilities are a key reason why studios
choose to collaborate with our streaming platform.
User Growth Strengths
Major social media
traffic distribution: We achieve user growth by advertising on mainstream social media channels such as Facebook, TikTok, and Google.
We edit highlights of our series into clips to attract users to download the FlexTV app.
KOL marketing:
We invite Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to market our series on their social media accounts. When users download FlexTV and make deposits,
KOLs can share in the deposit revenue. Through this way, we attract a large number of KOLs to proactively share content related to our
series.
Intellectual Property
The protection of our
technology and intellectual property is an important aspect of our business. We currently rely upon a combination of trademarks, trade
secrets, copyrights, nondisclosure contractual commitments, and other legal rights to establish and protect our intellectual property.
As of November 30, 2024,
we held three (3) pending ones in Singapore, two (2) pending trademark applications in Hong Kong and four (4) pending ones in Thailand.
We held one (1) registered trademarks in United States, four (4) registered trademarks in United Kingdom and three (3) registered trademarks
in Singapore. We will evaluate our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property. To the
extent that it is feasible, we will file new patent applications with respect to our technology and trademark applications with respect
to our brands.
Human Capital Resources
As of November 30, 2024,
we had around 150 individuals, including 18 full-time employees and the remainder being indirect contractors. None of our employees are
represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
In addition to our direct employment, Yuder has engaged over 130 indirect contractors through a services agreement with a third-party
company based in Asia. This agreement, entered into in November 2023 provides a cost-efficient way to support FlexTV operations on an
as-needed basis. The number of indirect contractors is still increasing with the development of FlexTV. This strategy provides flexibility
in managing our workforce.
International Markets
FlexTV is available in
more than 100 countries. Our production teams film in various locations including, but not limited to, United States, Mexico, Australia,
Thailand, and Philippines. We will continue to expand our international markets and collaborate with local partners in each major market.
Our Industry
The short drama industry
experienced explosive growth in 2023. According to China Securities Report, dated November 7, 2023, the total market size of short dramas
in China in 2023 was expected to reach $5 billion and monthly active users exceeding 100 million, fully validating the product. In addition,
the market size of global short dramas will reach $36 billion in 3 years. With short video platforms like TikTok cultivating user habits
for fragmented and concise entertainment videos, the global short drama market is expected to continue growing. The vertical screen era
is likely to give birth to emerging streaming media giants, and there are still opportunities for global large-scale streaming platforms
similar to Netflix and Roku.
The short drama industry
is likely to extensively incorporate the latest AI technologies, with the potential to integrate high-recognition IPs with short dramas.
This includes AI-enabled face swapping, voice changing, and scene and content creation using verbal descriptions which could revolutionize
content creation by significantly reducing production time and costs, enabling more creative freedom, and potentially democratizing access
to high-quality video production for creators worldwide.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and any accompanying
prospectus supplement, including the risk factors set forth in our filings we make with the SEC from time to time, that are incorporated
by reference herein, including the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report filed by our predecessor, Mega Matrix Corp., on Form 10-K,
as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March
18, 2024 and as amended on August
19, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”), before making an investment decision pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus
supplement relating to a specific offering.
Our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any or all of these risks or by additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial that may adversely affect us in the future.
Risks Related
to our Business
We will need
to raise additional capital or financing to continue to execute and expand our business.
We
will need to raise additional capital to support our new operations and execute on our business plan by issuing equity or convertible
debt securities. In the event we are required to obtain additional funds, there is no guarantee that additional funds will be available
on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities,
our shareholders may experience additional dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants. Newly issued securities may
include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other convertible securities that will have additional dilutive
effects. We cannot assure that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on
terms that are acceptable to us. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing. We may also be
required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which
will adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such
factors as the weakness of capital markets, and the fact that we have not been profitable, which could impact the availability and cost
of future financings. If such funds are not available when required, management will be required to curtail investments in additional
sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse effect on future cash flows and results of operations.
Expansion of the Company’s operations
into new products, services and technologies, including content categories, is inherently risky and may subject it to additional business,
legal, financial and competitive risks.
Historically, the Company’s
operations have been focused on third-party management service contracts for aircraft operations, NFT gaming, StaaS and solo-staking,
which operations have ceased. Expansion of the Company’s operations and its marketplace into additional products and services,
such as short video drama involve numerous risks and challenges, including potential new competition, increased capital requirements
and increased marketing spent to achieve customer awareness of these new products and services. Growth into additional content, product
and service areas may require changes to the Company’s existing business model and cost structure and modifications to its infrastructure
and may expose the Company to new regulatory and legal risks, any of which may require expertise in areas in which the Company has little
or no experience. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenue from sales of such products and
services to offset the costs of developing, acquiring, managing and monetizing such products and services and the Company’s business
may be adversely affected.
If our efforts to attract and retain users are not successful,
our business will be adversely affected.
Our
future revenue will be derived for subscriber based fees. We must continually add users and convert them to fee-based subscribers both
to replace canceled fee-based subscribers and to grow our business beyond our current fee-based subscriber base. The video streaming
business is new to us and our ability to penetration and growth our user base have fluctuated and vary across the jurisdictions where
we provide our service. Our ability to attract and retain users and convert them to fee-based subscribers will depend in part on our
ability to consistently provide our users in countries around the globe with compelling content choices that keep our users engaged with
our service, effectively drive conversation around our content and service, as well as provide a quality experience for choosing and
enjoying our short video dramas. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of competitors
to our service may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain users. Competitors include other entertainment video providers,
such as linear television, and streaming entertainment providers (including those that provide pirated content), video gaming providers,
as well as user-generated content, and more broadly other sources of entertainment that our users could choose in their moments of free
time.
Our
users and fee-based subscribers cancel our service for many reasons, including a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently,
that they need to cut household expenses, dissatisfaction with content, a preference for competitive services and customer service issues
that they believe are not satisfactorily resolved. Fee-based subscribers growth is also impacted by adverse macroeconomic conditions,
including inflation, may also adversely impact our ability to attract and retain users and fee-based subscribers. If we do not grow as
expected or be able to increase our fee-based subscriber revenue, including by adjusting subscription pricing, liquidity and results
of operations may be adversely impacted. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in providing compelling
content, retaining our existing users and attracting new users, our business will be adversely affected.
If we do not continuously provide value
to our users, including making improvements to our service in a manner that is favorably received by them, our revenue, results of operations
and business will be adversely affected.
If
consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, including if we introduce new or adjust existing features, adjust pricing
or service offerings, or change the mix of content in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract
and retain users and fee-based subscribers, and accordingly, our revenue, including revenue per paying subscribers, and results of operations
may be adversely affected. The video streaming business and the production of short video dramas is new to us. If our efforts to develop
and offer short video dramas are not valued by our current and future users and fee-paying subscribers, our ability to attract and retain
users and fee-paying subscribers may be negatively impacted. We may also seek to extend our business into new products and services to
help drive growth. For example, we are expanding our offering of consumer products and live experiences. To the extent we cannot successfully
find and develop new products and services to help drive growth, our future results of operations and growth may be adversely impacted.
We
may, from time to time, have to adjust our subscription pricing, or our pricing model itself. Any adjustments we make may not be well-received
by our users and could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain users and fee-paying subscribers, revenue per fee-paying subscribers,
revenue and our results of operations. If our efforts to satisfy our existing users or adjustments to our service are not successful,
we may not be able to attract or retain users and fee-paying subscribers, and as a result, our ability to grow our business will be adversely
affected.
If we fail to grow and maintain
our active user base, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
The
size of our active user base with our products are critical to our success. We are a new business and focused on attracting and maintaining
an active user base. Our financial performance has been and will continue to be significantly affected by our ability to grow and engage
our active user base. In addition, we may fail to maintain or increase our user base or our users’ engagement if, among other things:
|
● |
we fail to innovate
or develop new products and services that provide relevant content and satisfactory experience to, or are favorably received by,
our users; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we fail to produce new dramas that are attractive
to our users; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we fail to respond to
or adopt evolving technologies for product development on a timely and cost-effective basis; |
|
● |
we fail to successfully
market and monetize our existing and new mobile applications throughout their life cycles; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we fail to develop products
that are compatible with existing or new mobile devices, mobile operating systems or their respective upgrades; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we fail to maintain
or improve our technology infrastructure and security measures designed to protect our users’ personal privacy and cyber security; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we lose users to competing
products and services or due to concerns related to personal privacy and cyber security or other reasons; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we fail to successfully
implement our strategies related to the continued expansion of our global user base; or |
|
● |
we are required by existing
or new laws, regulations or government policies to implement changes to our products or services that are adverse to our business. |
If
we are unable to maintain or increase our user base, our advertising services may become less attractive to our advertising customers,
which may have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our advertising offering is new and subject to various
risks and uncertainties, which may adversely affect our business.
We
have limited experience and operating history offering advertising on our video streaming service, and our advertising revenue may not
grow as we expect. Advertisers purchase advertising services either directly from us or through third-party advertising exchanges and
advertising agencies. Our advertising customers, including advertisers and advertising exchanges and agencies, typically do not have
long-term contractual arrangements with us. They may be dissatisfied with our advertising services or perceive our advertising services
as ineffective. Potential new customers may view our advertising services as unproven, and we may need to devote additional time and
resources to convince them. In addition, new advertising formats emerge from time to time and customer preferences can change. We may
not be able to adapt our products and services to future advertising formats or changing customer preferences on a timely and cost-effective
basis, and any such adaption failure could materially and adversely affect our financial conditions, results of operations and prospects.
We
compete for advertising customers not only with other providers of digital advertising spaces, but also with other types of platforms
and advertising service providers such as newspapers, magazines, billboards, television and radio stations. Some of our competitors have
access to considerably greater financial and other resources for expanding their product offerings and present considerable challenges
to gaining and maintaining additional market share.
If
we fail to deliver advertising services in an effective manner, or if our advertising customers believe that placing advertisements on
our platform and in our short dramas do not generate a competitive return when compared to placing advertisements through our competitors’
products, they may not continue to do business with us or they may only be willing to advertise with us at reduced prices. If our existing
advertising customers reduce or discontinue their advertising spending with us, or if we fail to attract new advertising customers, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on our business collaborations
with third parties, including major digital distribution platforms and mobile device manufacturers, to maintain and expand our user base.
Our failure to maintain good relationships with these business partners may materially and adversely affect our business and operating
results.
We
collaborate with various business partners to promote our products and enlarge our user base. We use third-party digital distribution
platforms such as Apple App Store and Google Play to distribute our mobile applications to users. We also advertise on third-party platforms,
such as Facebook and TikTok to acquire users. The promotion and distribution of our mobile applications are subject to such digital distribution
platforms’ standard terms and policies for application developers, which are subject to the interpretation of, and frequent changes
by, these platforms. In addition, our applications may be suspended by or removed from such platforms as a result of allegations or claims
by third parties regardless of their merits. If we are unable to maintain good relationships with our business partners or the business
of our business partners declines, the reach of our products and services may be adversely affected and our ability to maintain and expand
our user base may decrease. Most of the agreements with our business partners, including mobile device manufacturers and digital distribution
platforms, do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from offering competing services. If our partner distribution platforms
change their standard terms and conditions in a manner that is detrimental to our business, or if our business partners decide not to
continue working with us or choose to devote more resources to supporting our competitors or their own competing products, we may not
be able to find a substitute on commercially favorable terms, or at all, and our competitive advantages may be diminished.
We may be subject to notices or complaints
alleging, among other things, our infringement of copyrights and delivery of illegal or inappropriate content through our products, which
could lead to suspension or removal of such products from digital distribution platforms, a decrease of our user base, and a significantly
adverse impact on our financial results and our reputation.
We
use third-party digital distribution platforms such as Apple App Store and Google Play to distribute our mobile applications to users.
In the ordinary course of our business, we and the digital distribution platforms may from time to time receive, notices or complaints
from third parties alleging that certain of our contents infringe copyrights, deliver illegal, fraudulent, pornographic, violent, bullying
or other inappropriate content, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable policies, rules and regulations. Upon receipt of such
notices or complaints, those digital distribution platforms may suspend or remove such products from such platforms. The processes for
appealing such suspensions and removals with those platforms could be time-consuming, and we cannot guarantee that our appeals will always
prevail or that any such suspended or removed application will be made available again. Such suspensions and removals of our products
could lead to a decrease of our user base and, if they occur frequently and/or in a large scale, could significantly adversely affect
our reputation, business operation and financial performance. In addition, these digital distribution platforms and third-party platforms
may also receive, from time to time, notices or complaints from third parties alleging that certain of our products infringe copyrights,
deliver illegal, fraudulent, pornographic, violent, bullying or other inappropriate content, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable
policies, rules and regulations, consequently those digital distribution platforms may suspend or remove such products from their
platforms and those third-party platforms may terminate their collaboration with us.
We have international operations and
plan to continue expanding our operations globally. We may face challenges and risks presented by our growing global operations, which
may have a material and adverse impact on our business and operating results.
Yuder
is headquartered in Singapore and provide its products and services to a global user base. We intend to continue the international expansion
of our business operations and grow our user base globally. We believe the sustainable growth of our business depends on our ability
to increase the penetration of our products in both developed and emerging markets. Our continued international operations and global
expansion may expose us to a number of challenges and risks, including:
|
● |
challenges in developing
successful products and localized adaptions, and implementing effective marketing strategies that respectively target mobile internet
users and advertising customers from various countries and with a diverse range of preferences and demands; |
|
|
|
|
● |
difficulties in managing
and overseeing global operations and in affording increased costs associated with doing business in multiple international locations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
local competitions; |
|
● |
difficulties in integrating and managing potential
foreign acquisitions or investments; |
|
|
|
|
● |
compliance with applicable
laws and regulations in various countries worldwide, including, but not limited to, internet content requirements, cyber security
and data privacy requirements, intellectual property protection rules, exchange controls, and cash repatriation restrictions; |
|
|
|
|
● |
fluctuations in currency exchange rates; |
|
|
|
|
● |
political, social or economic instability in markets
or regions in which we operate; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
compliance with statutory equity requirements and
management of tax consequences. |
Our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by these challenges and risks associated
with our global operations.
Our product development and monetization
strategies are highly dependent on our technology capabilities and infrastructure. If the amount of user data generated on our products
declines, or if we fail to enhance or upgrade our technologies at a competitive pace, the effectiveness of our business model may be
harmed and our operating results may be materially and severely affected.
We
depend on our technological capabilities and infrastructure to analyze our users’ preferences and needs and to generate valuable
user insights. Active users of our products generate a large amount of data across our applications and in a variety of use cases on
a daily basis. The data generated by our users lays the foundation for us to build our user profiles. By analyzing such user data with
our big data analytics and other relevant technologies, we aim to understand our users’ interests and needs for content in order
to develop products that deliver relevant content catering to their interests and needs. Therefore, the effectiveness of our product
development and monetization strategies is dependent on our ability to obtain and process data and to refine the algorithms used in processing
such data. If we fail to maintain and expand the user base of our products to continually generate large amounts of user data, or if
we fail to keep up with the rapid development and upgrade of big data analytics and other relevant technologies on a timely and cost-effective
basis, we may not be able to effectively grow and monetize our products, and our business and operating results may be materially and
adversely affected.
If we fail to correctly anticipate user
preferences and develop and commercialize new products and services, we may fail to attract or retain existing users, the lifecycles
of our mobile applications may end prematurely and our operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
Our
success depends on our ability to maintain, grow and monetize our user base, which in turn depends on our ability to continually develop
and commercialize new mobile applications, introduce new features or functions to our existing mobile applications and provide users
with high-quality content and an enjoyable user experience. This is particularly important since the mobile internet industry is characterized
by fast and frequent changes, including rapid technological evolution, shifting user demands, frequent introductions of new products
and services, and constantly evolving industry standards, operating systems and practices. FlexTV APP was launched in 2023 and over 150
short video drama have been released since October 2023. We intend to continue to produce new short video drama and other contents
and services to enlarge our active user base. Our ability to roll out new short video dramas and services depends on a number of factors,
including engaging new talents, High-quality contents, as well as correctly analyzing and predicting users’ interests and demands
for content using our big data analytical capabilities. If we fail to correctly analyze and predict users’ interests and demands
for content, fail to cater to the anticipated needs and preferences of users, or fail to provide a superior user experience, our existing
and new mobile applications may suffer from reduced user traffic or be unsuccessful in the market and our user base may decrease, which
in turn may impact our fee-based subscription and our ability to earn advertising revenue. There can be no assurance that our new products
and services will generate revenues or profits and we may not be able to recoup the investments and expenditure involved in such development.
Our quarterly results may also experience significant fluctuations as we continue to invest in the development of new products and services.
In
addition, as a result of rapidly evolving user preferences, our existing mobile applications may reach the end of their lifecycles prematurely.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to correctly predict the lifecycles of our new mobile applications, our estimates regarding
the lifecycles of our existing mobile applications may turn out to be incorrect, and our business, financial condition and results of
operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We may be held liable for information
or content displayed on, distributed by, retrieved from or linked to the mobile applications integrated into our products, which may
adversely impact our brand image and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We
may display third-party content, such as videos, pictures, books, articles and other works, on our mobile applications without the explicit
consent from such third party, and we may further explore market opportunities in the content-related business. Our users may misuse
our products to disseminate content that contains inappropriate, fraudulent or illegal information or that infringes the intellectual
property rights of third parties. We have implemented control measures and procedures to detect and block inappropriate, fraudulent or
illegal content uploaded to or disseminated through our products, particularly those that violate our user agreements or applicable laws
and regulations. However, such procedures may not be sufficient to block all such content due to the large volume of third-party content.
Despite the procedures and measures we have taken, if the content displayed on our products are found to be fraudulent, illegal or inappropriate,
we may suffer a loss of users and damage to our reputation. In response to any allegations of fraudulent, illegal or inappropriate activities
conducted through our mobile applications or any negative media coverage about us, government authorities may intervene and hold us liable
for non-compliance with laws and regulations concerning the dissemination of information on the internet and subject us to administrative
penalties or other sanctions, such as requiring us to restrict or discontinue certain features and services provided by our mobile applications
or to temporarily or permanently disable such mobile applications. If any of such events occurs, our reputation and business may suffer
and our operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
We may not be able to prevent unauthorized
use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We
regard our patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property as critical to our business. Unauthorized
use of our intellectual property by third parties may adversely affect our business and reputation. We rely on a combination of intellectual
property laws and contractual arrangements to protect our proprietary rights. It is often difficult to register, maintain, and enforce
intellectual property rights in countries with less developed regulatory regimes or inconsistent and unreliable enforcement mechanisms.
Sometimes laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and enforcement and may not be applied consistently due to the lack of clear
guidance on statutory interpretation. In addition, our contractual agreements may be breached by our counterparties, and there may not
be adequate remedies available to us for any such breach. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property
rights or to enforce our contractual rights in China and other jurisdictions in which we operate. Detecting and preventing any unauthorized
use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly and the steps we have taken may be inadequate to prevent infringement or misappropriation
of our intellectual property. In the event that we resort to litigation to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights, such
litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our managerial and financial resources. We can provide no assurance that
we will prevail in such litigation.
We may be subject to intellectual property
infringement lawsuits which could be expensive to defend and may result in our payment of substantial damages or licensing fees, disruption
to our product and service offerings, and reputational harm.
The
success of our business relies on the quality of our products, which in turn depends on the underlying software and related technology,
such as big data analytics. The protection of such software and related technologies primarily relies on intellectual property rights
including patents and trade secrets. Meanwhile, for the purpose of our business expansion, we may from time to time display third-party
content, such as videos, pictures, books, articles and other works, on our mobile applications without acquiring the explicit consent
from such third party. Third parties, including our competitors, may assert claims against us for alleged infringements of their patents,
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and internet content.
Intellectual
property claims against us, whether meritorious or not, are time consuming and costly to resolve, could divert management attention away
from our daily business, could require changes of the way we do business or develop our products, could require us to enter into costly
royalty or licensing agreements or to make substantial payments to settle claims or satisfy judgments, and could require us to cease
conducting certain operations or offering certain products in certain areas or generally. We do not conduct comprehensive patent searches
to determine whether the technologies used in our products infringe upon patents held by others. In addition, product development is
inherently uncertain in a rapidly evolving technological environment in which there may be numerous patent applications pending, many
of which are confidential when filed, with regard to similar technologies. While we believe that our products do not infringe in any
material respect upon any intellectual property rights of third parties, we cannot be certain that this is the case.
In
addition, in any potential dispute involving our patents or other intellectual property, our advertising customers and business partners
could also become the target of litigation. We have certain contractual obligations to indemnify our advertising customers and the mobile
device manufacturers that pre-install our products on their devices for liability that they may incur based on third-party claims of
intellectual property infringement for the use of our products or technology. Many of our collaboration contracts with mobile device
manufacturers provide for a cap on our indemnity obligations. In addition, in the event of any such claims, our advertising customers
or business partners may decide not to use our products in the future, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.
Finally,
we may also face infringement claims from the employees, consultants, agents and outside organizations we have engaged to develop our
technology. While we have sought to protect ourselves against such claims through contractual means, there can be no assurance that such
contractual provisions are adequate, and any of these parties might claim full or partial ownership of the intellectual property in the
technology that they were engaged to develop for us.
Yuder, as a Singapore-based company,
is subject to laws and regulations of Singapore and each jurisdiction where our services are offered. Our operations require us to apply
for specific licenses with Singapore authorities.
Yuder’s
operations as a Singapore-based company are subject to the regulatory environments of Singapore and each jurisdiction where our services
are available. In Singapore, Yuder is actively assessing the need for specific licenses such as an Over-the-Top (OTT) Niche Television
Service License and, for age-restricted content, a Film Exhibition License. Moreover, we may need to comply with the Content Code for
OTT, Video on Demand, and Niche Services in Singapore to ensure our content aligns with public interest and decency standards. Additionally,
as our service is accessible over the internet to users worldwide, we are subject to a wide array of international laws and regulations,
which vary significantly across different jurisdictions.
Our efforts to secure necessary licenses
and comply with regulatory standards are facing challenges, including the possibility that licenses may not be granted, or could be revoked
or not renewed by regulatory authorities.
The
complexity of obtaining necessary licenses and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards presents a risk that licenses may not
be granted or could be revoked or not renewed by regulatory authorities. This includes both the specific licenses required for operations
in Singapore and potentially different or additional licenses needed in other countries. Such outcomes could prevent us from offering
certain services or content, thus significantly impacting our operations and financial condition.
Information technology and infrastructure
may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions.
We
receive, process, store and use personal information and other customer data. There are numerous federal, state and local laws regarding
privacy and the storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other data. Any failure or perceived
failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to customers or other third parties, or our privacy-related
legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally identifiable information
or other player data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against us by consumer advocacy
groups or others and could cause our customers to lose trust in us which could have an adverse impact on our business. The costs of compliance
with these types of laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation or changes in law. Any failure on our part
to comply with these types of laws may subject us to significant liabilities.
Third
parties we work with may violate applicable laws or our policies, and such violations may also put our customers’ information at
risk and could in turn have an adverse impact on our business. We will also be subject to payment card association rules and obligations
under each association’s contracts with payment card processors. Under these rules and obligations, if information is compromised,
we could be liable to payment card issuers for the associated expense and penalties. If we fail to follow payment card industry security
standards, even if no customer information is compromised, we could incur significant fines or experience a significant increase in payment
card transaction costs.
Security
breaches, computer malware and computer hacking attacks have become more prevalent. Any security breach caused by hacking which involves
efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software,
hardware or other computer equipment, and the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could harm our business. Though it is difficult
to determine what harm may directly result from any specific interruption or breach, any failure to maintain performance, reliability,
security and availability of our network infrastructure to the satisfaction of our players may harm our reputation and our ability to
retain existing players and attract new players.
Because
the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems, change frequently and often are not
recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
Our compliance with regulatory requirements demands significant
operational and financial resources.
Compliance
with regulatory requirements in Singapore and internationally may require significant operational and financial resources. This includes
the potential need to furnish security deposits, adhere to content classification requirements, and ensure ongoing compliance with varied
regulatory standards across jurisdictions. The financial burden and operational constraints imposed by these regulatory requirements
could negatively affect our profitability and operational efficiency.
We face challenges in continuously monitoring
and adapting to the varied regulatory environments across the various jurisdictions where we operate.
Navigating
the regulatory landscapes of multiple jurisdictions increases the risk of inadvertent non-compliance due to the dynamic nature of laws
and regulations governing online streaming services. Continuous adjustments to our operational practices and content offerings may be
necessary, requiring substantial resources and potentially leading to penalties, restrictions, or the cessation of our services in certain
territories.
We may encounter restrictions or outright
bans in certain jurisdictions if we fail to comply with local regulations or content standards.
Given
the global accessibility of our service, there is a risk that certain jurisdictions may impose restrictions or outright bans on our operations
due to non-compliance with local regulations or content standards. Such actions could limit our market presence and negatively impact
our growth prospects and profitability.
Risks Related to our Company and our Securities
The ownership of our stock is highly
concentrated in our chairman, and we have one controlling stockholder.
As
of the date of this prospectus, our issued and outstanding share capital consists of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares.
Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect
of matters requiring a shareholder vote, each Class A Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share will
be entitled to 50 votes. Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof.
See “Description of Share Capital.”
As
of the date hereof, our chairperson, chief executive officer and president, Mr. Yuchen Hu, holds 30,000 Class A Ordinary Shares
and 5,933,700 Class B Ordinary Shares, representing a combined 89.52% voting power, which provides Mr. Hu with control over a majority
of the combined voting power of all our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, and therefore will be able to control
all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval until a significant portion of such outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares he
holds are converted into Chass A Ordinary Shares as further described in “Description of Share Capital”. As a result of his
ownership, Mr. Yu is able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors
and approval of significant corporate transactions.
In
addition to the dilutive effect on the voting power and value of our Class A Ordinary Shares, the foregoing structure of our capital
stock may render our Class A Ordinary Shares ineligible for inclusion in certain securities market indices, and thus adversely affect
the price and liquidity of, and public sentiment regarding, our Class A Ordinary Shares or other securities.
The
existence of, and voting rights associated with, our Class B Ordinary Shares, either alone or in conjunction with certain of the other
provisions of our memorandum and articles of association, could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in
our control or make the removal of our management more difficult.
We have a limited operating history
in new short video drama business, so there is a limited track record on which to judge our business prospects and management.
We
are currently focusing on short video streaming platform or producing short video dramas which is very different from our prior staking
business, NFT gaming, and aircraft leasing business. As such, our historical financial results should not be considered indicative of
our future performance. In addition, we have a limited operating history in providing short video streaming platform or producing short
video dramas upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. You must consider the risks and difficulties we face as
a small operating company with limited operating history.
User metrics and other estimates are
subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics could harm our business, revenue and
financial results.
We
intend to regularly review our metrics, including the number of our active users, paying users, and other measures to evaluate growth
trends, measure our performance and make strategic decisions. These metrics are calculated using internal company data and have not been
validated by an independent third party. While these numbers are based on what we currently believe to be reasonable estimates for the
applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring how our FlexTV platform is used across large populations
globally. Our metrics calculations may be inaccurate, and we may not be able to identify those inaccuracies. In addition, from time to
time, we may implement new methodologies for calculating these metrics, which may result in the metrics changing or decreasing from prior
periods or not being comparable to prior periods. If our metrics provide us with incorrect or incomplete information about our users
and their behavior, we may make inaccurate conclusions about our business which could harm our business, revenue and financial results.
We will need to raise additional capital or financing to
continue to execute and expand our business.
We
will need to raise additional capital to support our new operations and execute on our business plan by issuing equity or convertible
debt securities. In the event we are required to obtain additional funds, there is no guarantee that additional funds will be available
on a timely basis or on acceptable terms. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities,
our shareholders may experience additional dilution and such financing may involve restrictive covenants. Newly issued securities may
include preferences, superior voting rights, and the issuance of warrants or other convertible securities that will have additional dilutive
effects. We cannot assure that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on
terms that are acceptable to us. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing. We may also be
required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which
will adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such
factors as the weakness of capital markets, and the fact that we have not been profitable, which could impact the availability and cost
of future financings. If such funds are not available when required, management will be required to curtail investments in additional
sales and marketing and product development, which may have a material adverse effect on future cash flows and results of operations.
Our business depends on the continuing
efforts of our management. If it loses their services, our business may be severely disrupted.
Our
business operations depend on the efforts of our new management, particularly the executive officers named in this document. If one or
more of our management were unable or unwilling to continue their employment with us, it might not be able for us to replace them in
a timely manner, or at all. We may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain qualified replacements. Our business may be severely
disrupted, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our management
may join a competitor or form a competing company. As a result, our business may be negatively affected due to the loss of one or more
members of our management.
We may not be able to prevent or timely
detect cyber security breaches and may be subject to data, security and/or system breaches which could adversely affect our business
operations and financial conditions.
We
rely on information technology networks and systems, including the use of third-party communications systems over the Internet, to process,
transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support our business activities. These information technology networks and
systems may be subject to security breaches, hacking, phishing, or spoofing attempts by others to gain unauthorized access to our business
information and financial accounts. A cyberattack, unauthorized intrusion, or theft of personal, financial or sensitive business information
could have a material adverse effect of on our business operations or our clients’ information, and could harm our operations,
reputation and financial situation. In addition, due to an increase in the types of cyberattacks, our employees could be victim to such
scams designed to trick victims into transferring sensitive company data or funds, that could compromise and/or disrupt our business
operations.
MPU
DE was a victim of a business email compromise scam (BEC) in December 2021. BEC scams involve using social engineering to cause employees
to wire funds to the perpetrators in the mistaken belief that the requests were made by a company executive or established vendor. As
a result of the BEC scam, we have enhanced BEC awareness within our organization, established additional controls to help detect BEC
scams when they occur, and require additional confirmations for large money transactions. In addition, we seek to detect and investigate
all cybersecurity incidents and to prevent their recurrence, but in some cases, we might be unaware of an incident or its magnitude,
duration, and effects. While we take every effort to train our employees to be cognizant of these types of attacks and to take appropriate
precautions, and have taken actions and implemented controls to protect our systems and information, the level of technological sophistication
being used by attackers has increased in recent years, and may be insufficient to protect our systems or information. Any successful
cyberattack against us could lead to the loss of significant company funds or result in in potential liability, including litigation
or other legal actions against us, or the imposition of penalties, which could cause us to incur significant remedial costs. Further,
we cannot ensure that our efforts and measures taken will be sufficient to prevent or mitigate any damage caused by a cybersecurity incident,
and our networks and systems may be vulnerable to security breaches, hacking, phishing, spoofing, BEC, employee error or manipulation,
or other adverse events.
Due
to the evolving nature and increased sophistication of these cybersecurity threats, the potential impact of any future incident cannot
be predicted with certainty; however, any such incidents could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition, especially if we fail to maintain sufficient insurance coverage to cover liabilities incurred or are unable to recover any
funds lost in data, security and/or system breaches, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We do not maintain commercial insurance
to cover loss of digital assets.
We
do not carry any insurance that covers the loss of our digital assets held by our custodian and its affiliates. As such, we may not be
able to recover any funds lost in data, security and/or system breaches.
We are an emerging growth company within
the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
We are an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we are an emerging growth company.
As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information
they may deem important.
The JOBS Act also provides
that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a
private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth
company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period, although we have adopted certain new and revised accounting standards
based on transition guidance permitted under such standards earlier. As a result of this election, our future financial statements may
not be comparable to other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates for these new or revised accounting standards.
As a company incorporated in the Cayman
Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly
from NYSE American corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they
would enjoy if we complied fully with NYSE American corporate governance listing standards.
As a foreign private issuer,
we rely on certain provision under NYSE American Company Guide that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law with regard to certain aspects
of corporate governance. This allows us to follow certain corporate governance practices that differ in significant respects from the
corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on the NYSE American.
We currently rely on home
country practice to be exempted from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE American, namely (i) there will
not be a necessity to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with independent Directors; and (ii) there will be no requirement
for the Company to obtain shareholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with (a) the acquisition of stock
or assets of another company; (b) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (c) a change
of control; and (d) transactions other than public offerings. In the future, we may elect to follow other home country practices
with regard to certain matters. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies
that are subject to all NYSE American corporate governance requirements.
We are a foreign private issuer within
the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public
companies.
Because we are a foreign
private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States
that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
|
● |
the rules under the
Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with
the SEC; |
|
● |
the sections of the
Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the
Exchange Act; |
|
● |
the sections of the
Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders
who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and |
|
● |
the selective disclosure
rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD. |
We are required to file
an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our
financial results on a semi-annual basis through press releases distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the NYSE American.
Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the
information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be
filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would
be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
We may lose our foreign private issuer
status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.
As discussed above, we
are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last Business Day of
an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to
us on June 30, 2025. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of our outstanding voting
securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of our Directors or Executive Officers are U.S. citizens or
residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign
private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer
forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to comply with U.S. federal
proxy requirements, and our officers, Directors and 10% shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and
recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain
corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the NYSE American. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign
private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private
issuer.
We are subject to various laws relating
to foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely affect its operations, reputation, business, prospects, operating
results and financial condition.
We
are subject to risks associated with doing business outside of the United States, including exposure to complex foreign and U.S. regulations
such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and other anti-corruption laws which generally prohibit U.S. companies
and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Violations
of the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions and other penalties. It may be difficult
to oversee the conduct of any contractors, third-party partners, representatives or agents who are not our employees, potentially exposing
us to greater risk from their actions. If our employees or agents fail to comply with applicable laws or company policies governing our
international operations, we may face legal proceedings and actions which could result in civil penalties, administration actions and
criminal sanctions. Any determination that we have violated any anti-corruption laws could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Violations
of these laws and regulations could result in significant fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees. Additionally,
any such violations could materially damage our reputation, brand, international expansion efforts, ability to attract and retain employees
and our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.
Historically,
we have dealt with significant amounts of cash in our operations, which have subjected us to various reporting and anti-money laundering
regulations. Any violation of anti-money laundering laws or regulations by us could have a material adverse impact on our business.
As of December 31, 2023, our internal
control over financial reporting was ineffective, and if we continue to fail to improve such controls and procedures, investors could
lose confidence in our financial and other reports, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may decline, and we may be subject to increased
risks and liabilities.
As
a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)
and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual reports with respect to our business
and financial condition. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we include a report of our management
on our internal control over financial reporting. We are also required to include certifications of our management regarding the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures. We previously identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting
relating to our tax review control for complex transactions. We are in the process of enhancing our tax review control related to unusual
transactions that we may encounter, but that control has not operated for a sufficient time to determine if the control was effective
as of December 31, 2023. If we cannot effectively maintain our controls and procedures, we could suffer material misstatements in our
financial statements and other information we report which would likely cause investors to lose confidence. This lack of confidence could
lead to a decline in the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 will require substantial financial and management resources and may increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.
Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls and may require us to have
such system audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls,
we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties and/or shareholder litigation. Any inability to provide reliable
financial reports could harm our business. Furthermore, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered
in the implementation of adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, could harm our operating results
or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our
reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities.
The trading prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be
volatile, which could result in substantial losses to our shareholders and investors.
The
trading prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may
happen because of broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation in the market prices or the underperformance
or deteriorating financial results of other similarly situated companies that have listed their securities in the U.S. in recent years.
The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility including, in some cases, substantial price declines
in the trading prices of their securities. In addition, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume
fluctuations that are not related to our operating performance, such as the large decline in share prices in the United States and other
jurisdictions.
In
addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our Class A Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile for factors
specific to our own operations including the following:
|
● |
variations in our revenue, earnings and cash flow; |
|
|
|
|
● |
announcements of new
product and service offerings, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments by us or
our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
changes in the performance or market valuation of
our company or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; |
|
|
|
|
● |
changes in the number of our users and customers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
fluctuations in our operating metrics; |
|
|
|
|
● |
failures on our part to realize monetization opportunities
as expected; |
|
|
|
|
● |
additions or departures of our key management and
personnel; |
|
|
|
|
● |
detrimental negative publicity about us, our competitors
or our industry; |
|
● |
market conditions or regulatory developments affecting
us or our industry; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
potential litigations or regulatory investigations. |
Any
of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume and the price at which our Class A Ordinary Shares will
trade. In the past, shareholders of a public company often brought securities class action suits against the listed company following
periods of instability in the market price of that company’s securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert
a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations, which could harm our results
of operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful,
could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against
us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.
If our Class A Ordinary Shares becomes
subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions, and trading
activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
If
at any time we have net tangible assets of $5,000,001 or less and our Class A Ordinary Shares has a market price per share of less than
$5.00, transactions in our Class A Ordinary Shares may be subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Exchange
Act. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:
|
● |
make a special written suitability determination
for the purchaser; |
|
|
|
|
● |
receive the purchaser’s written agreement
to the transaction prior to sale; |
|
|
|
|
● |
provide the purchaser
with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe
the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
obtain a signed and
dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document
before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed. |
If
our Class A Ordinary Shares become subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and
trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be depressed,
and you may find it more difficult to sell our Class A Ordinary Shares.
An active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares
may not develop, and you may not be able to easily sell your Class A Ordinary Shares.
An
active trading market for shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares following our emergence from bankruptcy may never develop or be sustained.
If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling your shares of Class A Ordinary Shares or at all. An inactive
market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling our Class A Ordinary Shares, and it may impair our ability to attract
and motivate our employees through equity incentive awards and our ability to acquire other companies by using our Class A Ordinary Shares
as consideration.
If we do not continue to satisfy the NYSE American continued
listing requirements, our Class A Ordinary Shares could be delisted.
The
listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares on NYSE American is contingent on our compliance with the NYSE American’s conditions for
continued listing.
Should
we fail to meet the NYSE American’s continuing listing requirements, we may be subject to delisting by the NYSE America. In the
event our Class A Ordinary Shares are no longer listed for trading on the NYSE American, our trading volume and share price may decrease
and we may experience difficulties in raising capital which could materially affect our operations and financial results. Further, delisting
from the NYSE American could also have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders, suppliers
and employees. Finally, delisting could make it harder for us to raise capital and sell securities.
Sales of a significant number of our share in the public
market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
On October 7, 2022, we registered 2,397,305
shares for resale by selling shareholders. The sales of those shares of in the public market could depress the market price of our Class
A Ordinary Shares and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect
that future sales of shares would have on the market price of our securities.
We cannot predict the impact our multi-class share
structure may have on the stock price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
We
cannot predict whether our multi-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A Ordinary
Shares or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have policies that restrict or prohibit
the inclusion of companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indices, including the Russell 2000 and the S&P
500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P SmallCap 600, which together make up the S&P Composite 1500. Beginning in 2017, MSCI, a leading
stock index provider, opened public consultations on their treatment of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily
barred new multi-class listings from certain of its indices. However, in October 2018, MSCI announced its decision to include equity
securities “with unequal voting structures” in its indices and to launch a new index that specifically includes voting rights
in its eligibility criteria. Under the announced policies, our multi-class capital structure will make us ineligible for inclusion in
certain indices, and as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track those
indices will not be investing in our stock. These policies may depress the valuations of publicly traded companies that are excluded
from the indices compared to those of other similar companies that are included. Because of our multi-class structure, we will
likely be excluded from certain of these indices and we cannot assure you that other stock indices will not take similar actions. Given
the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from stock indices would
likely preclude investment by many of these funds and could make shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares less attractive to other investors.
As a result, the market price of shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected.
Cayman Islands economic substance requirements
may have an effect on our business and operations.
Pursuant
to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act, 2018 of the Cayman Islands (the “ES Act”) that came into force
on January 1, 2019, a “relevant entity” conducting a “relevant activity” is required to satisfy the economic
substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands
as is our Company. There are nine designated “relevant activities” under the ES Act, and for so long as our Company is carrying
on activities which falls within any of the designated relevant activities, it shall comply with all applicable requirements under the
ES Act. If the only business activity that the Company carries on is to hold equity participation in other entities and only earns dividends
and capital gains, then based on the current interpretation of the ES Act, our Company is a “pure equity holding company”
and will therefore only be subject to the minimum substance requirements, which require us to (i) comply with all applicable requirements
under the Companies Act and (ii) have adequate human resources and adequate premises in the Cayman Islands for holding and managing equity
participations in other entities. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to more requirements under the ES Act.
Uncertainties over the interpretation and implementation of the ES Act may have an adverse impact on our business and operations.
CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS
Our capitalization will
be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or in a report on Form 6-K subsequently furnished to the SEC and specifically incorporated
by reference into this prospectus.
DILUTION
If required, we will set
forth in a prospectus supplement the following information regarding any material dilution of the equity interests of investors purchasing
securities in an offering under this prospectus:
|
● |
the net tangible book
value per share of our equity securities before and after the offering; |
|
● |
the amount of the increase
in such net tangible book value per share attributable to the cash payments made by purchasers in the offering; and |
|
● |
the amount of the immediate
dilution from the public offering price which will be absorbed by such purchasers. |
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling shareholders
will receive all of the proceeds of the sale of Class A Ordinary Shares offered from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. We will
not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares held by the selling shareholders pursuant

set forth in the Warrants. We expect to use any such proceeds primarily for our working capital and other corporate and operational purposes.
The Warrants are exercisable on a net exercise cashless basis. If any of the Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not
receive any cash payment from the applicable Selling shareholders upon any such exercise of the Warrants.
We will bear the out-of-pocket

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling shareholders, including donees, pledgees, transferees, permitted assigns or other successors in interest (including transferees
that receive Class A Ordinary Shares from the selling shareholders under this prospectus), may use any one or more of the following methods
(or in any combination) to sell, distribute or otherwise transfer the securities from time to time:
| ● | through
underwriters or dealers for resale to the public or to investors; |
|
● |
directly
to one or more purchasers; |
|
● |
in “at
the market” offerings, within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an
existing trading market on an exchange or otherwise; |
|
● |
through
public or privately negotiated transactions; or |
|
● |
any other
method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
In
particular, the selling shareholders may offer and sell, distribute or otherwise transfer from time to time at a fixed price or prices,
which may be changed; at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; at prices related to prevailing market prices; at varying prices
determined at the time of sale; or at negotiated prices. These offers and sales or distributions may be effected from time to time in
one or more transactions, including:
|
● |
on any national
securities exchange or quotation service on which our Class A Ordinary Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale or in the over-the-counter market; |
|
● |
in transactions
other than on a national securities exchange or quotation service or in the over-the-counter market; |
|
● |
in block
transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Class A Ordinary Shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an
agent on both sides of the trade; |
|
● |
in ordinary
brokerage transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
● |
through
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
● |
through
the writing of options, convertible securities or other contracts or agreements to be satisfied by the delivery of Class A Ordinary
Shares; |
|
● |

privately negotiated transactions; |
|

|
● |

to secure debts and other obligations or on foreclosure of a pledge; |
|

The
selling shareholders may also sell shares in open market transactions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than
under this prospectus.
The
selling shareholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate
in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for
the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of Class A Ordinary Shares by
a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling shareholders.
The selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales
of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
Any
broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Class A Ordinary Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within
the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents
and any profit on the resale of the Class A Ordinary Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act.
In
connection with sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares under this prospectus, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. These broker-dealers or financial institutions may in turn engage in short sales
of Class A Ordinary Shares, short and deliver such shares to close out such short positions, or loan or pledge the shares to broker-dealers
that may in turn sell such shares. The selling shareholders may also sell shares short and deliver these securities to close out its
short positions, or loan or pledge the shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.
The
selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation
of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered
by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended
or supplemented to reflect such transaction).
The
selling shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Class A Ordinary Shares owned by
them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Class
A Ordinary Shares from time to time under this prospectus or an amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the prospectus
under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee,
transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus, as appropriate.
The
selling shareholders also may transfer the Class A Ordinary Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or
other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of the prospectus and may sell the Class A Ordinary Shares
from time to time under the prospectus or an amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other
successors in interest as selling shareholders under the prospectus, as appropriate.
We
have agreed to bear all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the registration of these shares, including the reasonable fees.
The selling shareholders will be required to bear the expenses of any underwriting discounts and commissions incurred for the sale of
Class A Ordinary Shares.
We
have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be entitled under agreements entered into with the selling shareholders to indemnification
by the selling shareholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with
respect to payments which such agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers and underwriters
may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services on the selling shareholders’ behalf.
The
anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares and activities of the
selling shareholders.
We
have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until
the earlier of the date on which the selling shareholders have publicly sold all of the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus
or the date that all of the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus (in the opinion of counsel to the selling shareholders)
may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction (including without limitation as to volume by each holder thereof),
and without compliance with any “current public information” requirement, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the plan of distribution may be modified in a prospectus supplement or otherwise.

The following description
of the material terms of MPU Cayman’s Ordinary Shares includes a summary of specified provisions of the memorandum and articles
of association of MPU Cayman in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Such memorandum and articles of association
of MPU Cayman are attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part and incorporated
herein by reference. You are encouraged to read the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and MPU Cayman’s memorandum and articles
of association as they relate to the following summary.
Authorized Share Capital
MPU Cayman is authorized

of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of shares or other securities
in the Company at such times and on such terms and conditions as the Directors may decide. The Directors may so deal with the unissued
shares: (a) either at a premium or at par; or (b) with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether
in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise
As of the close of business
on January 24, 2025, MPU Cayman had 34,753,811 Class A Shares and 5,933,700 Class B Shares issued and outstanding and no Preferred Shares
issued and outstanding.
Ordinary Shares
General. MPU Cayman
is authorized to issue 100,000,000 Class A Shares and 10,000,000 Class B Shares. All of MPU Cayman’s outstanding Ordinary Shares
are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form. MPU Cayman’s shareholders,
whether or not they are non-residents of the Cayman Islands, may freely hold and transfer their Ordinary Shares in accordance with the
memorandum and articles of association of MPU Cayman.
Dividends. The
holders of Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by MPU Cayman’s board of directors.
The memorandum and articles of association of MPU Cayman provide that its board of directors may declare and pay dividends if justified
by MPU Cayman’s financial position and permitted by law.
Voting Rights.
Each Class A Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of MPU Cayman, and each Class
B Share shall be entitled to fifty (50) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of MPU Cayman. Class A Shares and Class
B Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted to a vote by the shareholders. In respect of all
matters subject to a shareholders’ vote, each ordinary share of MPU Cayman is entitled to one vote. Voting at any meeting of shareholders
is by show of hands unless voting by way of a poll is required by the rules of any stock exchange on which MPU Cayman’s shares
are listed for trading, or a poll is demanded by the chairman of such meeting or one or more shareholders who, individually or collectively,
holding not less than 10% of the total voting rights of all shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting. A quorum required for
a meeting of shareholders (for as long as the MPU Cayman’s Class A Shares are listed on the stock exchange) consists of one or
more shareholders who holds shares that represent at least one-third of the MPU Cayman’s issued voting shares. Shareholders’
meetings, if the directors consider necessary or desirable, may be held annually. Each general meeting, other than an annual general
meeting, shall be an extraordinary general meeting. Extraordinary general meetings may be called by a majority of MPU Cayman’s
board of directors or upon a requisition of shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than 10% of the rights
to vote at such general meeting. At least seven clear days’ notice of a general meeting must be given to the shareholders. An ordinary
resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to
the Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds
of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman cast at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters
such as a change of name or making changes to the memorandum and articles of association of MPU Cayman.
Transfer of Ordinary
Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of MPU Cayman’s shareholders may transfer all or
any of his or her Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by
MPU Cayman’s board of directors. MPU Cayman’s board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any
transfer of any Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman irrespective of whether the shares are fully paid or MPU Cayman has no lien over it. If
MPU Cayman’s board of directors refuses to register a transfer, it shall, within two months after the date on which the transfer
was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. Upon completion of the Redomicile Merger, MPU Cayman
waived its right to refuse transfers of any Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman. The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any
notice required of the stock exchange on which MPU Cayman’s shares are listed, be suspended at such times and for such periods
as MPU Cayman’s board of directors may determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended
for more than 45 days in any year as MPU Cayman’s board of directors may determine.
Calls on Ordinary Shares
and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares. MPU Cayman’s board of directors may from time to time make calls upon
shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 clear
days prior to the specified time of payment. The Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject
to forfeiture.
Conversion Rights.
Each Class B Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Share at any time by the holder thereof. The number of Class B Shares held by
a holder thereof will be automatically and immediately converted into an equal and corresponding number of Class A Shares upon any of
the following events, and no further Class B Shares shall be issued by the MPU Cayman thereafter:
(a) Any direct or indirect
sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of such number of Class B Shares by the holder thereof or an affiliate of such holder or the
direct or indirect transfer or assignment of the voting power attached to such number of Class B Shares through voting proxy or otherwise
to any person or entity that is not a charitable trust for which the voting control remains with such holder. For the avoidance of doubt,
the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any of the Class B Shares to secure
contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition unless and until any such pledge,
charge, encumbrance or third party right is enforced and results in the third party holding directly or indirectly beneficial ownership
or voting power through voting proxy or otherwise to the related Class B Shares, in which case all the related Class B Shares shall be
automatically converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares.
(b) The Management Shareholder,
which is designated as Yucheng Hu, the Company’s chairman, director, chief executive officer and president, ceasing to be a director,
officer or employee of MPU Cayman;
(c) The total number of
issued and outstanding Class B Shares beneficially owned by all Management Shareholders collectively is less than 5% of the total number
of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares; or
(d) The Management Shareholder
being permanently unable to attend board meetings and manage the business affairs of the Company as a result of incapacity solely due
to his or her then physical and/or mental condition (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any confinement against his
or her will).
Class A Shares are not
convertible into Class B Shares under any circumstances.
Redemption of Ordinary
Shares. The Companies Act and MPU Cayman’s memorandum and articles of association permit MPU Cayman to purchase
its own shares. In accordance with MPU Cayman’s articles of association, provided the necessary shareholders or board approval
have been obtained, we may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption at MPU Cayman’s option on such terms and in such
manner, provided the requirements under the Companies Act have been satisfied, including out of capital, as may be determined by MPU
Cayman’s board of directors.
Inspection of Books
and Records. Holders of MPU Cayman’s Ordinary Shares have no general right under MPU Cayman’s memorandum
and articles of association to inspect or obtain copies of MPU Cayman’s list of shareholders or corporate records. However, MPU
Cayman will provide its shareholders with annual audited financial statements.
Issuance of Additional
Shares. MPU Cayman’s memorandum and articles of association authorizes MPU Cayman’s board of directors
to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as MPU Cayman’s board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available
authorized but unissued shares. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman.
Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some
provisions of MPU Cayman’s memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of MPU Cayman
or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and
convene general meetings of shareholders. MPU Cayman’s memorandum and articles of association allow MPU Cayman’s shareholders
holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 10% of all votes attaching to all of MPU Cayman’s paid up share capital
(as to the total consideration paid for such shares) in issue to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of MPU
Cayman, in which case MPU Cayman’s directors are obliged to call such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a
vote at such meeting. MPU Cayman’s authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares are available for future issuance without shareholders’
approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions
and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman could render more difficult
or discourage an attempt to obtain control of MPU Cayman by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Preferred Shares
MPU Cayman is authorized
to issue 10,000,000 preferred shares of par value $0.001 each, of which none are outstanding as the date of this proxy statement/prospectus.
MPU Cayman’s directors
may fix, by resolution or resolutions, the designation of such series and the number of preferred shares of MPU Cayman to constitute
such series, and the variations in the relative rights (including, without limitation, voting, dividend, return of capital, redemption,
liquidation, and conversion rights), restrictions, preferences, privileges and payment obligations as between the different classes (if
any) shall be fixed and determined by the directors.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent and
registrar for MPU Cayman’s Class A Shares will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, 1 State Street 30th Floor, New York,
NY 10004-1561.
Certain Differences
in Corporate Law
Your rights as a shareholder
of MPU Cayman will be governed by the Companies Act and MPU Cayman’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
You should be aware that the Companies Act, which applies to us, differs in certain material respects from the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) which is applicable to Delaware corporations. In order to highlight these differences,
set forth below is a summary of certain significant provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us that differ in certain material
respects from provisions of the DGCL and Delaware common law applicable to Delaware corporations. Because the following statements are

Appraisal Rights; Rights to Dissent |
|
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation
participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant
to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration
he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.
For example, a stockholder is entitled
to appraisal rights in the case of a merger or consolidation if the shareholder is required to accept in exchange for the shares
anything other than: (i) shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from the merger or consolidation, or depository
receipts in respect thereof; (ii) shares of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, that on the effective
date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000
shareholders; (iii) cash instead of fractional shares of the corporation or fractional depository receipts of the corporation; or
(iv) any combination of the foregoing. |
|
The Companies Act and MPU Cayman’s
articles of association do not specifically provide for appraisal rights. However, in connection with the compulsory transfer of
shares to a 90% shareholder of a Cayman Islands company as described under “Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations;
Fundamental Changes,” a minority shareholder may apply to the Cayman Islands court within one month of receiving notice of
the compulsory transfer objecting to that transfer. In these circumstances, the burden is on the minority shareholder to show that
the court should exercise its discretion to prevent the compulsory transfer. The court is unlikely to grant any relief in the absence
of bad faith, fraud, unequal treatment of shareholders or collusion as between the offeror and the holders of the shares who have
accepted the offer as a means of unfairly forcing out minority shareholders.
In connection with a merger or a consolidation,
dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid the fair value of their shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined
by the Cayman Islands court) if they follow the required procedures set out in the Companies Act, subject to certain exceptions. |

Stockholder/Shareholder
Consent to Action Without Meeting |
|
Under the DGCL, unless
otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action that can be taken at a meeting of the stockholders
may be taken without a meeting if written consent to the action is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than
the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting of the stockholders. |
|
MPU Cayman’s articles
of association permits resolutions, including special resolutions, to be effected by an unanimous written resolution. A special resolution
is a resolution that is either (a) passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of shareholders as, being entitled to do so,
vote in person or by proxy at a general meeting, or (b) signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution. |
Distributions
and Dividends; Repurchases and Redemptions |
|
Under the DGCL, subject to any restrictions
contained in the certificate of incorporation, a corporation may pay dividends out of its capital surplus or, if there is no surplus,
out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year, as long as the amount of capital
of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented
by issued and outstanding shares having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Surplus is defined in the DGCL as the excess
of the net assets over capital, as such capital may be adjusted by the board.
A Delaware corporation may purchase or
redeem shares of any class for cash or other property except when its capital is impaired or would be impaired by the purchase or
redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled, upon any distribution of its
assets, to a preference over another class or series of its shares or, if no shares entitled to a preference are outstanding, any
of its shares if such shares will be retired and the capital reduced.
|
|
Under the Companies Act, the board of
directors may declare the payment of dividends to holders of Ordinary Shares out of MPU Cayman’s (1) profits available for
distribution, or (2) “share premium account”, which represents the excess of the price paid to MPU Cayman’s on
the issue of its shares over the par or “nominal” value of those shares and is similar to the U.S. law concept of additional
paid in capital.
However, no dividends may be paid if,
after payment, MPU Cayman would not be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Dividends on Ordinary Shares, if any,
are at the discretion of the directors and depend on, among other things, MPU Cayman’s results of operations, cash requirements
and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the directors deems relevant, as well as MPU Cayman’s
ability to pay dividends in compliance with the Cayman Islands law. Under the Cayman Islands law, MPU Cayman is not required to present
proposed dividends or distributions to its shareholders for approval or adoption. MPU Cayman may pay dividends in any currency.
The directors are also entitled to issue
shares with preferred rights to participate in dividends declared by MPU Cayman. The holders of such preference shares may, depending
on their terms, rank senior to the Ordinary Shares with respect to dividends.
Under the Companies Act, shares of a Cayman
Islands company may be redeemed or repurchased out of profits of the company, out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made
for that purpose or out of capital, provided the company’s articles authorize this and it has the ability to pay its debts
as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
MPU Cayman’s articles of association
provide that MPU Cayman may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorized by
the Companies Act, including out of any combination of the following: capital, its profits and the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.
|
Removal of Directors; Terms
of Directors |
|
Under the DGCL,
except in the case of a corporation with a classified board or with cumulative voting, any director or the entire board may be removed,
with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. If a Delaware corporation
has a classified board, unless its certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, any director or the entire board may only be removed
by stockholders for cause. |
|
Under MPU
Cayman’s articles of association, the directors of MPU Cayman are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such
time as they are removed from office by ordinary resolution of the shareholders. |
|
|
|
|
In addition, the office of any director
shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors, (ii) in the opinion
of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting as a Director,
(iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to MPU Cayman, (iv) he is prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands from acting as
a Director; (v) he only held office as a Director for a fixed term and such term expires; (vi) he is given notice by the majority
of the other Directors (not being less than two in number) to vacate office (without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach
of any agreement relating to the provision of the services of such Director); he is made subject to any law relating to mental health
or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise; or without the consent of the other Directors, he absent from meetings of Directors
for a continuous period of six months.
Directors may be elected by a resolution
of the board of directors, or by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders. |
Inspection of Books and Records |
|
Under the DGCL, any holder of record of
stock or a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of
such person has the right during usual business hours to inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose.
|
|
Shareholders of a Cayman Islands exempted
company do not have any general rights to inspect or obtain copies of the list of shareholders or corporate records of a company
(other than the register of mortgages and charges, any special resolutions passed by such company, and the memorandum and articles
of association). Under MPU Cayman’s articles of association, the directors have the discretion as to whether, to what extent,
when, where and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the company or any of them shall be open to the inspection
of members who are not directors.
The Companies Act requires that the register
of mortgages and charges of a corporation be open to inspection by any shareholder or creditor of the company at all reasonable times.
|
Amendment of Governing Documents |
|
Under the DGCL, a certificate of incorporation
may be amended if: (i) the board of directors adopts a resolution setting forth the proposed amendment, declares the advisability
of the amendment and directs that it be submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders; provided that, unless required by the certificate
of incorporation, no meeting or vote is required to adopt an amendment for certain specified changes; and (ii) the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on the matter approve the amendment, unless the certificate of incorporation
requires the vote of a greater number of shares.
If a class vote on the amendment is required
by the DGCL, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class is required, unless a greater proportion is specified in the certificate
of incorporation or by other provisions of the DGCL.
Under the DGCL, the board of directors
may amend a corporation’s bylaws if so authorized in the certificate of incorporation. The shareholders of a Delaware corporation
also have the power to amend bylaws. |
|
The Companies Act and
MPU Cayman’s articles of association provide that MPU Cayman’s memorandum of association and articles of association
may only be amended by passing a special resolution of its shareholders to effect such amendment. |
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers |
|
Under the DGCL, subject to specified limitations
in the case of derivative suits brought by a corporation’s stockholders in its name, a corporation may indemnify any person
who is made a party to any action, suit or proceeding on account of being a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
(or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided that there is a determination that:
(i) the individual acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation;
and (ii) in a criminal action or proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Without court approval, however, no indemnification
may be made in respect of any derivative action in which an individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, except to the extent
the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
The DGCL requires indemnification of directors
and officers for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably relating to a successful defense on the merits
or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action.
Under the DGCL, a corporation may advance
expenses to any director or officer relating to the defense of any proceeding upon the receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. |
|
Cayman Islands law does not limit the
extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the
extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
MPU Cayman’s articles of association
provide that its directors and officers shall be indemnified against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses,
damages and liabilities incurred or sustained by such director or officer, other than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty
, in or about the conduct of MPU Cayman’s business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities
or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred
by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning MPU Cayman or its affairs
in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. |
Limited Liability of Directors |
|
The DGCL
permits the adoption of a provision in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability
of a director to a corporation or its shareholders by reason of a director’s breach of the director’s fiduciary duties,
except for (i) any breach the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) any act or omission not in good faith
or involving intentional misconduct or a known violation of law; (iii) any breach in which the director obtains an improper personal
benefit from the corporation; or (iv) the unlawful payment of a dividend or the unlawful approval a stock repurchase. |
|
Cayman Islands law, in certain circumstances,
permits a company to limit the liability of a director to the company. The considerations under Cayman Islands law with regard to
the limitation of a director’s liability are similar to those that apply to the enforcement of provisions relating to the indemnification
of directors discussed above under “Indemnification of Directors and Officers.” A Cayman Islands court will enforce such
a limitation except to the extent that enforcement of the relevant provision may be held to be contrary to public policy.
MPU Cayman’s articles of association
provide that no current or former director and officer of the company shall be liable to the company for any loss or damage incurred
by the company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through such
person’s own dishonesty. |

Shareholder Lawsuits
|
|
Under Delaware law,
a stockholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Company to enforce the rights of the Company. An individual also may
commence a lawsuit separately or bring a class action suit on behalf of such individual and other similarly situated stockholders
where the requirements for maintaining a class action under Delaware law have been met. A person may generally institute and maintain
such suits only if such person was a stockholder at the time of the transaction which is the subject of the derivative suit or became
a stockholder by operation of law from one who was a shareholder at the time of the transaction. Delaware law also requires
that the derivative plaintiff must make a demand on the Board of Directors to assert the claim or take suitable actions, and the
demand to be refused by the board, before the suit may be prosecuted by the derivative plaintiff, unless such demand would be futile
(and if futile, the derivative plaintiff must make clear the reasons why such demand would be futile). |
|
In the Cayman Islands, the decision to
institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. In certain limited circumstances,
a shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of MPU Cayman. However, the consideration of such suits has
been limited. In this regard, the Cayman Islands courts ordinarily would permit a claim to be brought by a minority shareholder,
in respect of a cause of action vested in a Cayman Islands company, in the name of and seeking relief on behalf of the company only
(1) in respect of a cause of action arising from an actual or proposed act or omission involving negligence, default, breach of duty
or breach of trust by a director of a company; (2) where the act complained of is illegal or alleged to constitute a fraud against
the company or against any minority shareholder; or (3) where the act is beyond the corporate power of the company or otherwise requires
approval by a greater percentage of the company’s shareholders than actually approved it; and, in each case, where the act
complained of is not capable of subsequent ratification by any majority of the company’s shareholders at a general meeting.
The cause of action may be against the director, another person or both.
A shareholder may also be permitted to
bring an action in his or her own name against a Cayman Islands company, a director or any other person in respect of any direct
loss suffered by such shareholder as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust. In any such action,
however, a loss suffered by the company will not be regarded as a direct loss suffered by the individual shareholder. A shareholder
may also be permitted to bring an action on the basis that the company’s affairs are being, or have been, conducted in a manner
that is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of shareholders generally or to some shareholders in particular. |
Amendment of Governing
Documents.
The Companies Act and
MPU Cayman’s articles of association provide that MPU Cayman’s memorandum of association and articles of association may
only be amended by passing a special resolution of its shareholders to effect such amendment.
Rights of Non-Resident
or Foreign Shareholders.
There are no limitations
imposed by foreign law or by our Memorandum and Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold
or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our Memorandum and Articles of Association governing
the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.
Anti-Money Laundering—Cayman
Islands.
In order to comply with
legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, MPU Cayman may be required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering
procedures, and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions,
MPU Cayman may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information)
to a suitable person.
MPU Cayman reserves the
right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases the directors may be satisfied
that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) of the Cayman
Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the “Regulations”). Depending on the circumstances of each application,
a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:
| ● | the
subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution;
or |
|
● |
the subscriber is regulated
by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or |
|
● |
the application is made
through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under
the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors. |
For the purposes of these
exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority, or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations
by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.
In the event of delay
or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, MPU Cayman may refuse to accept
the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.
We will not be liable for any loss suffered by a subscriber arising as a result of a refusal of, or delay in processing, an application
from a subscriber if such information and documentation requested have not been provided by the subscriber in a timely manner.
MPU Cayman also reserves
the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a stockholder if directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment
of redemption proceeds to such stockholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations
by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with any such
laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.
If any person resident
in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reason for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or
is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course
of their business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report
such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised) of the Cayman
Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised), if the disclosure
relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (As
Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (As Revised), if the disclosure relates
to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence
or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.
By subscribing for shares
and/or other securities, the subscriber consents to the disclosure of any information about them to regulators and others upon request
in connection with money laundering and similar matters both in the Cayman Islands and in other jurisdictions.
Data Protection — Privacy
Notice.
This privacy notice explains
the manner in which the Company collects, processes, and maintains personal data about our investors pursuant to the Data Protection
Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended from time to time and any regulations, codes of practice, or orders promulgated pursuant
thereto (the “DPA”).
We are committed to processing
personal data in accordance with the DPA. In our use of personal data, we will be characterized under the DPA as a “data controller,”
whilst certain of the our service providers, affiliates and delegates may act as “data processors” under the DPA. These
service providers may process personal information for their own lawful purposes in connection with services provided to us.
By virtue of your investment
in our Company, we and certain of our service providers may collect, record, store, transfer and otherwise process personal data by which
individuals may be directly or indirectly identified.
Your personal data will
be processed fairly and for lawful purposes, including (a) where the processing is necessary for the company to perform a contract
to which you are a party or for taking pre-contractual steps at your request (b) where the processing is necessary for compliance
with any legal, tax or regulatory obligation to which the company is subject or (c) where the processing is for legitimate interests
pursued by the company or by a service provider to whom the data are disclosed or (d) where you otherwise consent to the processing of
personal data for any other specific purpose. As a data controller, we will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we
collected it. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will contact you.
We anticipate that we
will share your personal data with the company’s service providers for the purposes set out in this privacy notice. We may also
share relevant personal data where it is lawful to do so and necessary to comply with our contractual obligations or your instructions
or where it is necessary or desirable to do so in connection with any regulatory reporting obligations. In exceptional circumstances,
we will share your personal data with regulatory, prosecuting and other governmental agencies or departments, and parties to litigation
(whether pending or threatened), in any country or territory including to any other person where we have a public or legal duty to do
so (e.g. to assist with detecting and preventing fraud, tax evasion and financial crime or compliance with a court order).
Your personal data shall
not be held by the Company for longer than necessary with regard to the purposes of the data processing.
We will not sell your
personal data. Any transfer of personal data outside of the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the requirements of the DPA. Where
necessary, we will ensure that separate and appropriate legal agreements are put in place with the recipient of that data.
The Company will only
transfer personal data in accordance with the requirements of the DPA and will apply appropriate technical and organizational information
security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data and against the accidental loss,
destruction or damage to the personal data.
If you are a natural person,
this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted
limited partnerships) that provides us with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation to your investment
into the company, this will be relevant for those individuals, and you should inform such individuals of the content.
You have certain rights
under the DPA, including (a) the right to be informed as to how we collect and use your personal data (and this privacy notice fulfills
the Company’s obligation in this respect); (b) the right to obtain a copy of your personal data; (c) the right to require
us to stop direct marketing; (d) the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected; (e) the right to withdraw
your consent and require us to stop processing or restrict the processing, or not begin the processing of your personal data; (f) the
right to be notified of a data breach (unless the breach is unlikely to be prejudicial); (g) the right to obtain information as
to any countries or territories outside the Cayman Islands to which we, whether directly or indirectly, transfer, intend to transfer
or wish to transfer your personal data, general measures we take to ensure the security of personal data and any information available
to us as to the source of your personal data; (h) the right to complain to the Office of the Ombudsman of the Cayman Islands; and
(i) the right to require us to delete your personal data in some limited circumstances.
If you do not wish to
provide us with the requested personal data or subsequently withdraw your consent, you may not be able to invest in our Company or remain
invested in our Company as it will affect our ability to manage your investment.
If you consider that your
personal data has not been handled correctly, or you are not satisfied with MPU Cayman’s responses to any requests you have made
regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Cayman Islands’ Ombudsman. The Ombudsman can be
contacted by calling: +1 (345) 946-6283 or by email at info@ombudsman.ky.
Contacting MPU Cayman
For further information
on the collection, use, disclosure, transfer or processing of your personal data or the exercise of any of the rights listed above, please
contact us through the address and telephone number of our principal executive office. Our principal website is www.mtmtgroup.com. The
information contained in, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into this prospectus or the registration statement of
which it forms a part.
Economic Substance
The Cayman Islands, together
with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of
the European Union and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as to offshore structures engaged in certain
activities which attract profits without real economic activity. The International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (Revised)
(the “ES Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands in January 2019, introducing certain economic substance requirements
for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain geographically mobile business activities (“relevant activities”).
As we are a Cayman Islands exempted company, compliance obligations include filing annual notifications, in which we need to state whether
we are carrying out any relevant activities and if so, whether we have satisfied economic substance tests to the extent required under
the ES Act. It is anticipated that our Company will not be engaging in any “relevant activities” other than being a “pure
equity holding company” and will therefore only be subject to more limited substance requirements. However, as it is a relatively
new regime, it is anticipated that the ES Act will evolve and be subject to further clarification and amendments. Failure to satisfy
applicable requirements may subject us to penalties under the ES Act..
Compensation of Directors and Officers
Under Cayman Islands law,
MPU Cayman is not required to disclose compensation paid to our senior management on an individual basis and MPU Cayman has not otherwise
publicly disclosed this information elsewhere. The executive officers, directors and management of MPU Cayman receive fixed and variable
compensation. They also receive benefits in line with market practice. The fixed component of their compensation is set on market terms
and adjusted annually. The variable component consists of cash bonuses and awards of shares (or the cash equivalent). Cash bonuses are
paid to executive officers and members of management based on previously agreed targets for the business. Shares (or the cash equivalent)
are awarded under share options.
Cayman Islands Selling Restrictions
This proxy statement/prospectus
does not constitute a public offer of the common shares, whether by way of sale or subscription, in the Cayman Islands. The common shares
have not been offered or sold, and will not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the Cayman Islands.
The Financial Action Task Force’s
Increased Monitoring of the Cayman Islands
In February 2021, the
Cayman Islands was added to the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”) list of jurisdictions whose anti-money laundering practices
are under increased monitoring, commonly referred to as the “FATF grey list.” When the FATF places a jurisdiction under increased
monitoring, it means the country has committed to resolve swiftly the identified strategic deficiencies within agreed timeframes and
is subject to increased monitoring during that timeframe. It is unclear how long this designation will remain in place and what ramifications,
if any, the designation will have for MPU Cayman.
TAXATION
Material income tax consequences
relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement relating to the offering of those securities.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
MPU Cayman is an exempted
company incorporated in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such
as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or
currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body
of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection for investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies
do not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.
Substantially all of MPU
Cayman’s assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of MPU Cayman’s directors and officers are
nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside
the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon MPU Cayman
or these persons, or to bring an action against MPU Cayman or against these persons in the United States, in the event that you believe
that your rights have been infringed under the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be
difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal
securities laws against MPU Cayman and its officers and directors. MPU Cayman has appointed Cogency Global Inc. as its agent to receive
service of process in the United States.
Ogier, our counsel as
to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (1) recognize or
enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against MPU Cayman or its directors or officers, predicated upon the civil liability provisions
of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman
Islands against MPU Cayman or its directors or officers, predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the
United States.
Ogier has informed us
that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United
States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), a judgment
obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination
of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands,
provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay
a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (c) is final, (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, (e) is not
inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment of the same matter, (f) is not impeachable on grounds of fraud, and (g) was not obtained
in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.
However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions
of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to
make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands,
it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.
It is our understanding
that the PRC does not have treaties with the United States and many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement
of judgments of courts and that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S.
courts against MPU Cayman or the directors or officers of MPU Cayman predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities
laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
Additionally, it is our
understanding that it may be difficult for you to bring an original action against us or against our directors and officers who are nationals
or residents of countries other than the United States in a PRC court in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed
under the U.S. federal securities laws, PRC laws, Cayman Islands laws or otherwise because we are incorporated under the laws of the
Cayman Islands and it may be difficult for U.S. stockholders, by virtue only of holding our Class A Shares, to establish a connection
to the PRC as required by the PRC Civil Procedures Law in order for a PRC court to have jurisdiction.

EXPERTS
The consolidated balance
sheets of our predecessor, Mega Matrix Corp. (formerly known as AeroCentury Corp) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022
and September 30, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity
(deficit), and cash flows for ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included in this prospectus and in the registration statement
have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Audit Alliance LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated
herein by reference, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
The audit report covering
the December 31, 2022, consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company filed a petition
for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on March 29, 2021. The Company’s plan of reorganization
became effective and the Company emerged from bankruptcy protection on September 30, 2021. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy,
the Company adopted the guidance for fresh start accounting in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations, effective as of September
30, 2021. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated financial statements prior to September 30, 2021 are not comparable to its consolidated
financial statements for period after September 30, 2021.
