A Ordinary Shares
We have entered into an At
The Market Offering Agreement, dated February 18, 2025 (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Manager”)
relating to our Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) offered by this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying base prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell, through this prospectus
supplement, our Class A Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000 from time to time through our Manager.
Our
Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on NYSE American under the symbol “MPU.” On February 14, 2025, the last reported sale
price for a Class A Ordinary Share on NYSE American was $1.04.
Sales of our Class A Ordinary
Shares, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be made in sales deemed to be an “at the market
offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”),
including sales made directly on or through NYSE American, the existing trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares, sales made to
or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Manager as principal, in negotiated transactions at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law.
The Manager is not required to sell any specific amount but will act as our sales agent and/or principal, using commercially reasonable
efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices on mutually agreed terms between the Manager and us. There is no arrangement
for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
The Manager will be entitled
to an aggregate compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per Class A Ordinary Share sold. In connection
with the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares on our behalf, the Manager will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning
of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Manager will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed
to provide indemnification and contributions to the Manager against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). See “Plan of Distribution” on page
S-19.

prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates, or our public float, was
approximately $60,724,000 which we based on a total number of 34,753,811 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which 34,699,811
Class A Ordinary Shares were held by non-affiliates, and at a price of $1.75 per share, the closing sales price of our Class A
Ordinary Shares on December 20, 2024, which is the highest closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE American within
60 days prior to the date of the Sales Agreement. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not sold any of our Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to General
Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3 during the 12 calendar months prior to, and including, the date of this prospectus supplement.

exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million.
We are a “foreign private
issuer,” and an “emerging growth company” each as defined under the federal securities laws, and, as such, we are subject
to reduced public company reporting requirements.

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.
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 trademark applications in Singapore, two (2) pending trademark applications in Hong Kong and four (4) pending
trademark applications in Thailand. We held one (1) registered trademark 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 patent applications with respect to our technology and
trademark applications with respect to our brands. Currently, however, we do not own any patents.
Recent Developments
Redomicile Merger
On October 8, 2024, we, Mega
Matrix Corp., a Delaware corporation and MPU Merger Sub, Inc. a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary completed a Redomicile
Merger. As a result, our merger subsidiary MPU Merger Sub merged with and into Mega Matrix Corp. with Mega Matrix Corp. surviving as our
wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to a Third Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 31, 2024. The merger agreement
was approved by Mega Matrix Corp. stockholders on September 25, 2024. As a result of the Redomicile Merger, each issued and outstanding
share of Mega Matrix Corp.’s common stock acquired prior to October 8, 2024 has been exchanged for one Class A Ordinary Share.
Further, in connection with
the merger agreement, each outstanding option and warrant exercisable into common stock of Mega Matrix Corp. has been assumed by us under
the same terms and conditions. Additionally, we agreed to assume all of Mega Metrix Corp.’s rights and obligations under Mega Matrix
Corp.’s stock-based benefit and compensation plans and programs. All rights to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on,
each share of Mega Matrix Corp.’s common stock arising under Mega Matrix Corp.’s equity compensation plans entitle the holder
to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on, as applicable, one Class A Ordinary Share of ours. We continue to conduct Mega Matrix
Corp.’s business in substantially the same manner as it is currently being conducted. We are managed by the same board of directors
and executive officers that manage Mega Matrix Corp. prior to the Redomicile Merger.
Reclassification -- Repurchase Agreement
for Class A Shares for Class B Shares
On December 10, 2024, we entered
into a share repurchase agreement and a share subscription agreement with Mr. Yucheng Hu, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant
to which we effected a reclassification through an issuance of 5,933,700 Class B Ordinary Shares to Mr. Hu at par value concurrent with
the repurchase of 5,933,700 Class A Ordinary Shares held by Mr. Hu at par value in accordance with the Companies Act (As Revised) of the
Cayman Islands and the applicable memorandum and articles of association. The repurchased Class A Ordinary Shares were cancelled and available
for future issuance. The Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class, and each Class
A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to fifty votes. Class B Ordinary Shares
are convertible into Class A Shares at the option of the holder. Following the closing of the reclassification transaction, Mr. Hu beneficially
owns approximately 89.57% of our voting power. The reclassification transaction was approved and authorized by our board of directors
and its audit committee.
Implications of Our Being an Emerging Growth
Company
As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in
revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that
are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
| ● | being permitted to provide only two financial years of selected
financial information (rather than five years) and only two years of audited financial statements (rather than three years), in addition
to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure; and |
| ● | an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation
requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. |
We may take advantage of these
reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of
(1) the last day of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of our redomicile , (2) the last day of the fiscal
year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least US$1.235 billion, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large
accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates
exceeds US$700.0 million as of the prior June 30, and (4) the date on which we have issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible
debt during the prior three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions. Accordingly,
the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.
Implications of Our Being a Foreign Private
Issuer
We will report under the Exchange
Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as
we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable
to U.S. domestic public companies, including:
| ● | 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 stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period
of time; and |
| ● | the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified
information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. |
Both foreign private issuers
and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if we no
longer qualify as an emerging growth company but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent
compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither emerging growth companies nor foreign private issuers.
In addition, 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 the corporate governance listing requirements of the NYSE American. These practices may afford less protection
to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing requirements of the NYSE American. Following
this offering, we intend to rely on home country practice to be exempted from certain of the corporate governance requirements of the
NYSE American, namely (i) there is no necessity to have regularly scheduled executive sessions with independent Directors; and (ii) there
is 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.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing in our Class
A Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus
supplement, the base prospectus and 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 our proxy statement/prospectus dated August 14, 2024 related to our Redomicile
Merger and 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. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results
of operations or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares
to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones
facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business
operations.
Risks
Related to this Offering
The
actual number of Class A Ordinary Shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject
to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver instruction to the
Manager to sell our Class A Ordinary Shares at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of our Class A Ordinary
Shares that are sold through the Manager after our instruction will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price
of our Class A Ordinary Shares during the sales period, the limits we set with the Manager in any instruction to sell shares, and the
demand for our Class A Ordinary Shares during the sales period. Because the price per Class A Ordinary Share sold will fluctuate during
this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of our Class A Ordinary Shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds
to be raised in connection with those sales.
The
Class A Ordinary Shares offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy our Class A Ordinary
Shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors
who purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different
levels of dilution, and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the
timing, prices, and numbers of Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of Class
A Ordinary Shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
Our
management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds,
and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
Our
management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and our shareholders will not have the
opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number
and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially
from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. See section
titled “Use of Proceeds” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement for a description of our proposed use of proceeds from
this offering.
If
you purchase Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible
book value of your Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, we may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future,
which may result in additional dilution to investors.
The price per Class A Ordinary Share in this offering is substantially
higher than the net tangible book value of each outstanding Class A Ordinary Share, and accordingly investors in this offering will experience
immediate and substantial dilution. Assuming that an aggregate of approximately 19,230,769 Class A Ordinary Shares are sold during the
term of the Sales Agreement at a price of $1.04 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our ordinary share on NYSE American
on February 14, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20,000,000, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate
offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of approximately $0.4600 per share, representing the difference
between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2024 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed
offering price. See section titled “Dilution” on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of
the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares in this offering. To the extent outstanding warrants or stock options are exercised
or if we issue equity-based awards under our 2021 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, there could be further dilution to new investors.
In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional equity or convertible debt securities,
our then existing shareholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our Class A Ordinary
Shares offered in this offering.
Our
Class A Ordinary Shares price may be volatile and could decline substantially.
The
trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may experience wide fluctuations. The price of the Class A Ordinary Shares that will prevail
in the market may be higher or lower than that of this offering depending on numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and
may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; |
| ● | the
absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations
about us; |
| ● | we
may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large portion of
our stock is closely held; |
| ● | overall
stock market fluctuations; |
| ● | announcements
concerning our business or those of our competitors; |
| ● | actual
or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise
such capital on favorable terms; |
| ● | conditions
or trends in the industry; |
| ● | changes
in market valuations of other similar companies; |
| ● | future
sales of Class A Ordinary Shares; |
| ● | departure
of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and |
| ● | general
market conditions. |
Any
of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, the stock
market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to
the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Class
A Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.
We
cannot assure you that the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares will not decline. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that you will
be able to sell your Class A Ordinary Shares at a price equal to or greater than the purchase price.
We
do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Class A Ordinary Shares for the foreseeable future.
We
have not paid any dividends on our Class A Ordinary Shares to date, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable
future. We anticipate that any earnings experienced by us will be retained to finance the implementation of our operational business
plan and expected future growth.
Mr.
Yuchen Hu, our chairperson, chief executive officer and president, controls a majority of the combined voting power of all our Class
A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares.
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, Therefore Mr. Hu 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.
Risks Related to Investing in a Foreign Company
You may face difficulties
in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated
under Cayman Islands law.
We are an exempted company
incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Second Amended and
Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights
of shareholders to take action against our Directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors
to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders
and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial
precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a different body of securities laws than
the U.S., and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate
a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the U.S. There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained
in the U.S., although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a judgment of a foreign court of competent
jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands
exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the Second Amended
and Restated Memorandum Association and Articles of Association) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Subject
to the foregoing, our directors have discretion under our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum Association and Articles of Association
as to whether, to what extent, when, where and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the company may be open
for inspection by our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary
for a shareholder resolution or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Certain corporate governance
practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other
jurisdictions a U.S. state. Currently, we plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. Accordingly,
our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
As a result of all of the
above, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of
the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in a U.S. state.
The Company may be characterized
as a passive foreign investment company
We may be characterized as
a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”). If we are determined to be a PFIC, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse
tax consequences. Under the PFIC rules, for any taxable year that our passive income or our assets that produce passive income exceed
specified levels, we will be characterized as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could result in adverse
U.S. tax consequences for the our U.S. shareholders, which may include having certain distributions on our Class A Ordinary Shares and
gains realized on the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares treated as ordinary income, rather than as capital gains income, and having
potentially punitive interest charges apply to the proceeds of sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares and certain distributions.
Certain elections may be made to reduce or eliminate the adverse impact
of the PFIC rules for holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares, but these elections may be detrimental to the shareholder under certain
circumstances. The PFIC rules are extremely complex and U.S. investors are urged to consult independent tax advisers regarding the potential
consequences to them of our classification as a PFIC. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell our Class A Ordinary Shares having aggregate
sales proceeds of up to $20,000,000 from time to time, before deducting sales agent commissions and expenses. The amount of proceeds (not
to exceed $20,000,000) from this offering will depend upon the actual number of our Class A Ordinary Shares sold and the market price
at which they are sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public
offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Sales Agreement with the Manager.
We
intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of Class A Ordinary Shares to fund our growth plans, for working capital, and for other
general corporate purposes.
Although
we intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for the foregoing purposes, the planned expenditures may change significantly. As
a result, our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of any net proceeds. Pending use of any net proceeds, we may invest
any proceeds in a variety of capital preservation instruments, including short-term, investment-grade, and interest-bearing instruments.
DILUTION
Our
net tangible book value on September 30, 2024 was approximately $15.4 million or $0.3821 per share. “Net tangible book value”
is total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets. “Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible book
value divided by the total number of shares of our outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares.
After giving effect to the assumed sale of 19,230,769 Class A Ordinary
Shares in this offering, at an offering price of $1.04 per share the last reported sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE
American on February 14, 2025, and after deducting the sales agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with
this offering, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2024 would have been approximately $34.6 million, or $0.58
per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.1979 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate
dilution of $0.4600 per share to the investors participating in this offering.

The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate
of 19,230,769 Class A Ordinary Shares are sold at a price of $1.04 per Class A Ordinary Share for an aggregate gross proceeds of $20,000,000
less commissions and expenses of approximately $850,000.
The table above assumes, for illustrative purposes, that an aggregate
of 19,230,769 Class A Ordinary Shares are sold at a price of $1.04 per Class A Ordinary Share, the last reported sale price of our Class
A Ordinary Shares on the NYSE American on February 14, 2025, for an aggregate gross proceeds of $20,000,000 less commissions and expenses
of $850,000. The Class A Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, if any, will be sold from time to time at various prices. An increase
of $0.20 per Class A Ordinary Share in the price at which the Class A Ordinary Shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $1.04
per Class A Ordinary Share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the aggregate amount of $20,000,000
are sold at that price, would increase the dilution in our as adjusted net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share after the offering
to $0.6118 per Class A Ordinary Share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share from the offering
price to new investors in this offering to $0.6282 per Class A Ordinary Share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering
expenses payable by us. A decrease of $0.20 per Class A Ordinary Share in the price at which the Class A Ordinary Shares are sold from
the assumed offering price of $1.04 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the aggregate amount
of $20,000,000 are sold at that price, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share after the offering
to $0.5386 per Class A Ordinary Share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per Class A Ordinary Share from the offering
price to new investors in this offering to $0.3014 per Class A Ordinary Share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering
expenses payable by us. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only.
Unless
otherwise indicated, this prospectus supplement assumes the sale of $20,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares being offered. The number of
Class A Ordinary Shares to be outstanding immediately after this offering as shown above is based on 34,753,811 Class A Ordinary Shares
outstanding as of February 14, 2025, but does not include the following:
(i)
2,490,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $1.50 per Class A Ordinary Share; 1,363,636
Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $2.20 per Class A Ordinary Share and 34,091 Class
A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $2.75 per Class A Ordinary Share;
(ii)
5,933,700 Class B ordinary shares that may be converted into 5,933,700 Class A Ordinary Shares by the holder thereof; and
(iii)
500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable as earnout payment pursuant to that certain share exchange agreement.

The
following description of the material terms of our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, or collectively “Ordinary
Shares,” under our memorandum and articles of association in effect. Our memorandum and articles of association are attached as
an exhibit to the registration statement of which the primary prospectus is a part and incorporated herein by reference. You are encouraged
to read the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association as they relate to the following summary.

or securities 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
Ordinary Shares
General.
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 10,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. All of our outstanding Ordinary
Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form. Our shareholders,
whether or not they are non-residents of the Cayman Islands, may freely hold and transfer their Ordinary Shares in accordance with our
memorandum and articles of association.
Dividends.
Our holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. Our memorandum and articles
of association provide that its board of directors may declare and pay dividends if justified by our financial position and permitted
by law.
Voting
Rights. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company,
and each Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to fifty (50) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company.
Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary 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 the Company 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 the Company’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 Company’s Class A Ordinary
Shares are listed on the stock exchange) consists of one or more shareholders who holds shares that represent at least one-third of the
Company’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 the Company’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 the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company.
Transfer
of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of the Company’s shareholders may transfer all or any of
his or her Ordinary Shares of the Company by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by the
Company’s board of directors. The Company’s board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer
of any Ordinary Shares of the Company irrespective of whether the shares are fully paid or the Company has no lien over it. If the Company’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, the Company waived its
right to refuse transfers of any Ordinary Shares of the Company. The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice
required of the stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are listed, be suspended at such times and for such periods as the
Company’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 the Company’s board of directors may determine.
Calls
on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares. The Company’s board of directors may from time to time make calls upon
shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their Ordinary Shares of the Company in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 clear
days prior to the specified time of payment. The Ordinary Shares of the Company that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject
to forfeiture.
Conversion
Rights. Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof. The number
of Class B Ordinary Shares held by a holder thereof will be automatically and immediately converted into an equal and corresponding number
of Class A Ordinary Shares upon any of the following events, and no further Class B Ordinary Shares shall be issued by the Company thereafter:
(a)
Any direct or indirect sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of such number of Class B Ordinary 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 Ordinary
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 Ordinary 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 Ordinary
Shares, in which case all the related Class B Ordinary 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 the Company;
(c)
The total number of issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary 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 Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances.
CERTAIN
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The
following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below)
arising from the acquisition of Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the offering and the ownership and disposition of the Class A Ordinary
Shares. This summary applies only to U.S. Holders who hold Class A Ordinary Shares as capital assets (generally, property held for investment)
and who acquire Class A Ordinary Shares at their original issuance pursuant to the offering, and does not apply to any subsequent U.S.
Holder of a Class A Ordinary Share.
This
summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal
income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the ownership and disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares. In
addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect
the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable
tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice
with respect to any particular U.S. Holder. In addition, this summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal
estate and gift, U.S. Medicare contribution, U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition
of Class A Ordinary Shares. Except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements.
Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of
the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.
No
opinion from U.S. legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained,
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares. This summary
is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, any position
taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities upon which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations,
the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.
Scope of
This Disclosure
Authorities.
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations (whether final,
temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, and U.S. court decisions that are
applicable and, in each case, as in effect and available, as of the date hereof. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based
could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis
which could affect the U.S. federal income tax considerations described in this summary. This summary does not discuss the potential
effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective
basis.
U.S.
Holders. For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Class A Ordinary
Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
| ● | An
individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.; |
| ● | A
corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes)
created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District
of Columbia; |
| ● | An
estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
or |
| ● | A
trust that (a) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and the control
of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (b) has a valid election in
effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
Non-U.S.
Holders. For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Class A Ordinary Shares
that is not a partnership (or other “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not a U.S. Holder.
This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to non-U.S. Holders arising from the acquisition,
ownership or disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.
Accordingly,
a non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences
(including the potential application of and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the purchase of the Class A Ordinary Shares
pursuant to the offering and the acquisition, ownership or disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.
Transactions
Not Addressed. This summary does not address the tax consequences of transactions effected prior or subsequent to, or
concurrently with, any purchase of the securities (whether or not any such transactions are undertaken in connection with the purchase
of the securities), other than the U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders of the acquisition of Class A Ordinary Shares
and the ownership and disposition of such Class A Ordinary Shares.
U.S.
Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed
This
summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of Class A Ordinary
Shares by U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, the following: (a) tax-exempt
organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) financial institutions,
underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) broker-dealers, dealers, or
traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a “mark-to-market” accounting method; (d) U.S. Holders that have
a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) U.S. Holders that own Class A Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle,
hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) U.S. Holders
that acquire Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services;
(g) U.S. Holders that hold Class A Ordinary Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally,
property held for investment purposes); (h) U.S. Holders that own directly, indirectly, or by attribution, 10% or more, by voting power
or value, of the outstanding stock of the Company; and (i) U.S. Holders subject to Section 451(b) of the Code. This summary also does
not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents
of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident outside the U.S. for purposes of the Tax
Act; and (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold Class A Ordinary Shares in connection
with carrying on a business outside the U.S. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders
described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding all U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax
consequences (including the potential application and operation of any income tax treaties) relating to the acquisition, ownership, or
disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares.
If
an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other “pass-through” entity) for U.S. federal income tax
purposes holds Class A Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such partnership and the partners (or other owners)
of such partnership of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares generally will depend on the activities
of the partnership and the status of such partners (or other owners). This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences
for any such partner or partnership (or other “pass-through” entity or its owners). Owners of entities and arrangements that
are classified as partnerships (or other “pass-through” entities) for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their
own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, or disposition of Class A Ordinary
Shares.
Distributions
on Class A Ordinary Shares
We have never paid a dividend
and have no intention of paying a dividend. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including
a constructive distribution, with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross
income as a dividend to the extent of the current or accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, as computed for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits”
of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis
in the Class A Ordinary Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Class A Ordinary Shares. See “Sale or Other
Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares” below. However, the Company may not maintain calculations of earnings and profits
in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder should therefore assume that any distribution by the Company
with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares will be reported to them as a dividend. Dividends received on the Class A Ordinary Shares
generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction” available to U.S. corporate shareholders receiving
dividends from U.S. corporations. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the
application of such rules.
Sale or
Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares
Subject
to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will
recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property
received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Such capital gain or loss
will generally be a long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition, the U.S. Holder’s
holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares is more than one year. Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of non-corporate
U.S. Holders. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in
Class A Ordinary Shares generally will be such U.S. Holder’s U.S. dollar cost for such Class A Ordinary Shares.
PFIC Status
of the Company
The
Company has not performed an analysis of whether or not it was or will be deemed a PFIC for its prior and current taxable years. If the
Company is or becomes a PFIC, the foregoing description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the ownership
of Class A Ordinary Shares will be different. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of Class A Ordinary Shares
if the Company is or becomes a PFIC are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences if the Company is a PFIC.”
A
non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for each tax year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income is passive income (as defined for U.S.
federal income tax purposes) (the “income test”) or (ii) 50% or more (by value) of its assets (based on an average of the
quarterly values of the assets during such tax year) either produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset
test”). For purposes of the PFIC provisions, “gross income” generally includes sales revenues less cost of goods sold,
plus income from investments and from incidental or other operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes
dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from commodities or securities transactions and the excess of gains over
losses from the disposition of certain assets which product passive income. If a non-U.S. corporation owns at least 25% (by value) of
the stock of another corporation, the non-U.S. corporation is treated, for purposes of the income test and asset test, as owning its
proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as directly receiving its proportionate share of the other corporation’s
income.
Under
certain attribution and indirect ownership rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will generally be deemed to own their proportionate
share of the Company’s direct or indirect equity interest in any company that is also a PFIC (a “Subsidiary PFIC”),
and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on their proportionate share of (a) any “excess distributions,” as described
below, on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC and (b) a disposition or deemed disposition of the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC by the Company
or another Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC. In addition, U.S. Holders
may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any indirect gain realized on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC on the sale or disposition
of Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should be aware that they could be subject to tax even if no distributions are
received and no redemptions or other dispositions of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares are made.
The
determination of PFIC status is inherently factual, is subject to a number of uncertainties, and can be determined only annually at the
close of the tax year in question. Additionally, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax
rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. There can be no assurance that the Company will or will not be determined to be
a PFIC for the current tax year or any prior or future tax year, and no opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the
status of the Company as a PFIC has been obtained or will be requested. U.S. Holders should consult their own U.S. tax advisors regarding
the PFIC status of the Company.
Tax Consequences
if the Company is a PFIC
If
the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder holds Class A Ordinary Shares, special rules may increase such U.S.
Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability with respect to the ownership and disposition of such Class A Ordinary Shares. If the
Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder owns Class A Ordinary Shares, the Company will be treated as a PFIC with
respect to such U.S. Holder for that tax year and for all subsequent tax years, regardless of whether the Company meets the income test
or the asset test for such subsequent tax years, unless the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the
Class A Ordinary Shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell the Class A Ordinary Shares it holds at their
fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed
sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s Class A Ordinary
Shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless the Company subsequently becomes a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their own
U.S. tax advisors regarding the availability and desirability of a deemed sale election.
Under
the default PFIC rules:
| ● | Any
gain realized on the sale or other disposition (including dispositions and certain other
events that would not otherwise be treated as taxable events) of Class A Ordinary Shares
(including an indirect disposition of the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC) and any “excess
distribution” (defined as a distribution to the extent it (together with all other
distributions received in the relevant tax year) exceeds 125% of the average annual distribution
received during the shorter of the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding
period for the Class A Ordinary Shares) received on Class A Ordinary Shares or with respect
to the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC will be allocated ratably to each day of such U.S. Holder’s
holding period for the Class A Ordinary Shares; |
| ● | The
amount allocated to the current tax year and any year prior to the first year in which the
Company was a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income in the current year; |
| ● | The
amount allocated to each of the other tax years (the “Prior PFIC Years”) will
be subject to tax at the highest ordinary income tax rate in effect for the applicable class
of taxpayer for that year; and |
| ● | An
interest charge will be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each Prior
PFIC Year. |
A
U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective “mark-to-market” election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market
Election”) or a timely and effective election to treat the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC as a “qualified electing fund”
(a “QEF”) under Section 1295 of the Code (a “QEF Election”) may generally mitigate or avoid the default PFIC
rules described above with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares U.S. Holders should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company
has satisfied or will satisfy the recordkeeping requirements that apply to a QEF or that the Company has supplied or will supply U.S.
Holders with information such U.S. Holders require to report under the QEF rules in the event that the Company is a PFIC for any tax
year.
A
timely and effective QEF Election requires a U.S. Holder to include currently in gross income each year its pro rata share of the Company’s
ordinary earnings and net capital gains, regardless of whether such earnings and gains are actually distributed. Thus, a U.S. Holder
could have a tax liability with respect to such ordinary earnings or gains without a corresponding receipt of cash from the Company.
If the Company is a QEF with respect to a U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares will be increased
to reflect the amount of the taxed but undistributed income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a
corresponding reduction of basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares and will not be taxed again as a distribution to a U.S. Holder. Taxable
gains on the disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares by a U.S. Holder that has made a timely and effective QEF Election are generally
capital gains. A U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election for the Company and each Subsidiary PFIC if it wishes to have this treatment. To
make a QEF Election, a U.S. Holder will need to have an annual information statement from the Company setting forth the ordinary earnings
and net capital gains for the year and the Company may not provide this statement, in which case a QEF Election cannot be made. In general,
a U.S. Holder must make a QEF Election on or before the due date for filing its income tax return for the first year to which the QEF
Election will apply. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder will be permitted to make retroactive elections in particular,
but limited, circumstances, including if it had a reasonable belief that the Company was not a PFIC and did not file a protective election.
If a U.S. Holder owns PFIC stock indirectly through another PFIC, separate QEF Elections must be made for the PFIC in which the U.S.
Holder is a direct shareholder and the Subsidiary PFIC for the QEF rules to apply to both PFICs.
Each
U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability and desirability of, and procedure for, making a timely and
effective QEF Election (including a “pedigreed” QEF election where necessary) for the Company and any Subsidiary PFIC.
Alternatively,
a Mark-to-Market Election may be made with respect to “marketable stock” in a PFIC if which is stock that is “regularly
traded” on a “qualified exchange or other market” (within the meaning of the Code and the applicable U.S. Treasury
Regulations). A class of stock that is traded on one or more qualified exchanges or other markets is considered to be “regularly
traded” for any calendar year during which such class of stock is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days
during each calendar quarter. If the Class A Ordinary Shares are considered to be “regularly traded” within this meaning,
then a U.S. Holder generally will be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares. However,
there is no assurance that the Class A Ordinary Shares will be or remain “regularly traded” for this purpose. A Mark-to-Market
Election may not be made with respect to the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC. Hence, a Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to
eliminate the application of the default PFIC rules, described above, with respect to deemed dispositions of Subsidiary PFIC stock, or
excess distributions with respect to a Subsidiary PFIC.
A
U.S. Holder that makes a timely and effective Mark-to-Market Election with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares generally will be required
to recognize as ordinary income in each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of such shares as of the close of such taxable year over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such shares as of the close
of such taxable year. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares generally will be increased by the amount
of ordinary income recognized with respect to such shares. If the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares
as of the close of a tax year exceeds the fair market value of such shares as of the close of such taxable year, the U.S. Holder generally
will recognize an ordinary loss, but only to the extent of net mark-to-market income recognized with respect to such shares for all prior
taxable years. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Ordinary Shares generally will be decreased by the amount of ordinary
loss recognized with respect to such shares. Any gain recognized upon a disposition of the Class A Ordinary Shares generally will be
treated as ordinary income, and any loss recognized upon a disposition generally will be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of
net mark-to-market income recognized for all prior taxable years. Any loss recognized in excess thereof will be taxed as a capital loss.
Capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.
Each
U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability and desirability of, and procedure for, making a timely and
effective Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares.
Foreign
Tax Credit
A
U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) foreign income tax in connection with the ownership or disposition of
Class A Ordinary Shares may (under certain circumstances) be entitled to receive either a deduction or a credit for such foreign income
tax paid generally at the election of such U.S. Holder. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax
liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax.
This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all creditable foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding)
by a U.S. Holder during a year.
Complex
limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of
a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” taxable income bears
to such U.S. Holder’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder’s various items of income and
deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source.” Generally, dividends
paid by a non-U.S. corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of securities of
a non-U.S. corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable
income tax treaty and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Class
A Ordinary Shares that is treated as a “dividend” may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian
federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this limitation is calculated
separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult
its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.
Special
rules apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution, including a constructive distribution,
from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, non-U.S. taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally
eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are
complicated, and a U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding their application to the U.S. Holder.
Information
Reporting; Backup Withholding
Under
U.S. federal income tax law, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or
involvement in, a non-U.S. corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals
who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of “specified
foreign financial assets” includes not only financial accounts maintained in non-U.S. financial institutions, but also, if held
for investment and not in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person,
any financial instrument or contract that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a non-U.S. entity.
A U.S. Holder may be subject to these reporting requirements unless such U.S. Holder’s Class A Ordinary Shares are held in an account
at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should
consult with their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns on IRS Form 8938, and, if applicable, filing
obligations relating to the PFIC rules, including possible reporting on an IRS Form 8621.
Payments
made within the U.S. or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman of (a) distributions on the Class A Ordinary Shares, and (b) proceeds arising
from the sale or other taxable disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares generally will be subject to information reporting. In addition,
backup withholding, currently at a rate of 24%, may apply to such payments if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder’s
correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on IRS Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number,
(c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding, or (d)
fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that
the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding. Certain exempt persons generally are excluded from
these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the
U.S. backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or
will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.
The
discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute an exhaustive description of all reporting requirements
that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during
which the IRS can assess a tax, and, under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to
any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup
withholding rules.
Medicare
Tax
A
U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax is
subject to a 3.8% tax on net investment income at certain income levels. In the case of an individual, the tax will be imposed on the
lesser of (1) the individual’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the individual’s
modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over $250,000 (in the case of a taxpayer filing a joint return or a surviving spouse),
$125,000 (in the case of a married taxpayer filing a separate return) or $200,000 (in any other case). In the case of an estate or trust,
the tax will be imposed on the lesser of (1) the entity’s “undistributed net investment income” for the taxable year
and (2) the excess (if any) of the entity’s “adjusted gross income” over the dollar amount at which the highest tax
bracket begins for such entity. Such a U.S. Holder’s net investment income will include its gross dividend income and its net gains
from the disposition of Class A Ordinary Shares, unless such dividends or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct
of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. Holder
that is an individual, estate or trust, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax
to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the Class A Ordinary Shares.
THE
ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT
TO THE OWNERSHIP, EXERCISE OR DISPOSITION OF CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX
CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We entered into the Sales
Agreement with the Manager on February 18, 2025. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell up to $20,000,000 of our
Class A Ordinary Shares from time to time through the Manager.
Upon delivery of a placement
notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Manager may sell our Class A Ordinary Shares by any method permitted
by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including
sales made directly on or through NYSE American, the existing trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares, sales made to or through
a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Manager as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law. We
may instruct Manager not to sell Class A Ordinary Shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from
time to time. We or the Manager may suspend the offering of Class A Ordinary Shares upon notice and subject to other conditions.
We will pay the Manager a
commission, in cash, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of our Class A Ordinary Shares. The Manager will be entitled to
compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount
required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable
at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse the Manager for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of Manager’s
legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $75,000. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse Manager
for fees and disbursements related to its legal counsel in an amount of up to a maximum of (i) $3,500 per due diligence update session
conducted in connection with each date we file periodic financial information on Form 6-K and (ii) $5,000 per due diligence update session
conducted in connection with each date we file our Annual Report on Form 20-F or file a new registration statement, prospectus or prospectus
supplement or amend the Sales Agreement, plus any incidental expense incurred by Manager in connection therewith.
Settlement for sales of Class
A Ordinary Shares will occur on the first business day (or such shorter settlement cycle as may be in effect under Exchange Act Rule 15c6-1
from time to time) following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Manager in connection
with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our Class A Ordinary Shares as contemplated
in the prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and
Manager may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
The
Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with their sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase
the Class A Ordinary Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. In connection with the sale
of the Class A Ordinary Shares on our behalf, the Manager will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the compensation of the Manager will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide
indemnification and contribution to the Manager against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The
offering of our Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate as permitted therein. We and the Manager may each
terminate the Sales Agreement at any time upon ten (10) days prior notice.
The
Manager and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for
us and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, the
Manager will not engage in any market making activities involving our Class A Ordinary Shares while the offering is ongoing under this
prospectus supplement. This summary of the material provisions of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be a complete statement of
its terms and conditions. A copy of the Sales Agreement is filed as an exhibit to our Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement.
The
prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the Manager and the Manager may distribute the prospectus
electronically.

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.

The aggregate initial offering price of the securities that we may offer and sell under this prospectus will not exceed $250,000,000.
Unless otherwise indicated, reference to dollars shall mean United States dollars.
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 January 23, 2025, the last reported sales
price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $1.21 per share.
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 of this prospectus, 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 stockholders 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 we sell, pursuant to the registration statement of which
this prospectus forms a part, securities with 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. We have not offered or sold any securities 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 prospectus.

Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MPU Cayman (“MPU Merger Sub”) effected a redomicile

Merger, with the directors to serve until such time as they are removed from office by ordinary resolution of the shareholders or by
a resolution of the board of directors.
Pursuant
to the Redomicile Merger and as approved by the NYSE American, MPU Cayman’s Class A Shares are now listed on the NYSE American
under the symbol “MPU.” The CUSIP/ISIN number relating to the Class A Shares of MPU Cayman is G6005C 108/ KYG6005C1087.

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 stockholders 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 stockholders 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 stockholder. 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.

The
securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices
relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The consideration may be cash, extinguishment of debt or another form
negotiated by the parties. Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That
compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities.
Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by
them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If such dealers
or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
We
may also make direct sales through subscription rights distributed to our existing shareholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may
not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to our shareholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed
for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers
or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties.
Some
or all of the securities that we offer through this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any
underwriters to whom we sell our securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be
obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity
of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer.
Agents
may, from time to time, solicit offers to purchase the securities. If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement,
document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities
and set forth any compensation payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for
the period of its appointment. Any agent selling the securities covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter of the
securities.
If
underwriters are used in an offering, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold, from time
to time, in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. Securities may be offered to the public either
through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters.
If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter
or underwriters at the time an agreement for the sale is reached. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the managing underwriter
or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities,
and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers and the public offering price,
if applicable. This prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus will be used by the underwriters
to resell the securities.
If
a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we, or an underwriter, will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer
may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required,
we will set forth in the prospectus supplement, document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, the name
of the dealer and the terms of the transactions.
We
may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities and may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or others.
These persons may be deemed to be underwriters with respect to any resale of the securities. To the extent required, the prospectus supplement,
document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, will describe the terms of any such sales, including the
terms of any bidding or auction process, if used.
Agents,
underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against specified
liabilities, including liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make
in respect of such liabilities. If required, the prospectus supplement, document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus,
as applicable, will describe the terms and conditions of such indemnification or contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers,
or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries or affiliates in
the ordinary course of business.
Under
the securities laws of some states, the securities offered by this prospectus may be sold in those states only through registered or
licensed brokers or dealers.
Any
person participating in the distribution of securities registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will
be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation
M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our securities by any such person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict
the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to our securities.
These
restrictions may affect the marketability of our securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities
with respect to our securities.
Certain
persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty
bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities.
If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
If
more than ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) members participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such
FINRA members, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(h).
In
addition, this prospectus may be used to offer securities for the account of the Selling Shareholder, in which we will receive no proceeds
from such sale.
To
the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

DESCRIPTION
OF SHARE CAPITAL
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 to USD120,000 divided into (i) 100,000,000 Class A Shares of par value USD0.001 each, (ii) 10,000,000 Class B Shares
of par value USD0.001 each and (iii) 10,000,000 Preferred Shares of par value USD0.001 each. The board of directors
of MPU Cayman have general and unconditional authority to allot, grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued Shares to such
persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. The Company may issue rights, options, warrants or convertible
securities or securities 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 summaries, they do not address all aspects of Bermuda law that may be relevant to us and you or all aspects of Delaware
law that may differ from Bermuda law.
The
reference of “Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association” in the compare table below refers to the second amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association.

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.
DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
General
We
may issue warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares, preferred shares or debt securities or any combination thereof in the form of
a units. We may issue the warrants independently or together with any underlying securities, and the warrants may be attached or separate
from the underlying securities. We may also issue a series of warrants under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between
us and a warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume
any obligation or relationship of agency for or with holders or beneficial owners of warrants.
The
following description is a summary of selected provisions relating to the warrants that we may issue. The summary is not complete. When
warrants are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable,
will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. The specific terms
of the warrants as described in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement
and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section.
This
summary and any description of warrants in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing
prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of any specific warrant document or agreement,
if applicable. We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue a series of warrants. See “Where You Can
Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a
copy of a warrant document when it is filed.
When
we refer to a series of warrants, we mean all warrants issued as part of the same series under the applicable warrant agreement.

Warrant
Agreement
We
may issue the warrants in one or more series under one or more warrant agreements, each to be entered into between us and a bank, trust
company, or other financial institution as warrant agent. We may add, replace, or terminate warrant agents from time to time. We may
also choose to act as our own warrant agent or may choose one of our subsidiaries to do so.
The
warrant agent under a warrant agreement will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants issued under that agreement. Any
holder of warrants may, without the consent of any other person, enforce by appropriate legal action, on its own behalf, its right to
exercise those warrants in accordance with their terms.
Form,
Exchange and Transfer
We
may issue the warrants in registered form or bearer form. Warrants issued in registered form, i.e., book-entry form, will be represented
by a global security registered in the name of a depository, which will be the holder of all the warrants represented by the global security.
Those investors who own beneficial interests in a global warrant will do so through participants in the depository’s system, and
the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depository and its participants. In addition,
we may issue warrants in non-global form, i.e., bearer form. If any warrants are issued in non-global form, warrant certificates may
be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations, and holders may exchange, transfer, or exercise their warrants
at the warrant agent’s office or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by
reference or free writing prospectus.
Prior
to the exercise of their warrants, holders of warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Ordinary Shares will not have any rights of
holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and will not be entitled to dividend payments, if any, or voting rights of the Class A Ordinary Shares.
Exercise
of Warrants
A
warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash an amount of securities at an exercise price that will be stated in, or that will
be determinable as described in, the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus.
Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the applicable offering material.
After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be redeemed as set forth in the
applicable offering material.
Warrants
may be exercised as set forth in the applicable offering material. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed
and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable offering material,
we will forward, as soon as practicable, the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented
by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.
DESCRIPTION
OF DEBT SECURITIES
General
We
may issue debt securities which may or may not be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares. In no case shall the amount
of the debt securities issued under an indenture exceed the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time of $10,000,000 during
a 36-month period. We may issue the debt securities independently or together with any underlying securities, and warrants may be attached
or separate from the underlying securities. In connection with the issuance of any debt securities, we do not intend to issue them pursuant
to a trust indenture upon reliance of Section 304(a)(8) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“Trust Indenture Act”) and Rule
4a-1 promulgated thereunder.
We
may also issue a series of debt securities under a separate indenture agreement to be entered into between us and an indenture agent.
Such indenture agreement, if any, will not be qualified with the SEC pursuant to an exemption. The indenture agent will act solely as
our agent in connection with the warrants of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency for or with holders
or beneficial owners of warrants. However, if we are required to register such trust indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, we will
pass on the financing under this registration statement.
The
following description is a summary of selected provisions relating to the debt securities that we may issue. The summary is not complete.
When debt securities are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus,
as applicable, will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. The
specific terms of the debt securities as described in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing
prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section.
This
summary and any description of debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free
writing prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of any specific debt securities
document or agreement. We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue a series of warrants. See “Where
You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” above for information on how to
obtain a copy of a warrant document when it is filed.
When
we refer to a series of debt securities, we mean all debt securities issued as part of the same series under the applicable indenture.

The procedures and conditions
relating to the exercise of the debt securities; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Any other terms of the
debt securities, including terms, procedure and limitation relating to the exchange or exercise of the debt securities. |
Form,
Exchange and Transfer
We
may issue the debt securities in registered form or bearer form. Debt securities issued in registered form, i.e., book-entry form, will
be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depository, which will be the holder of all the debt securities represented
by the global security. Those investors who own beneficial interests in global debt securities will do so through participants in the
depository’s system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depository
and its participants. In addition, we may issue warrants in non-global form, i.e., bearer form. If any debt securities are issued in
non-global form, debt securities certificates may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations, and holders may
exchange, transfer, or exercise their warrants at the warrant agent’s office or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus
supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus.
Prior
to the exercise of their debt securities, holders of debt securities exercisable for shares of debt securities will not have any rights
of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares, and will not be entitled to dividend payments, if any, or voting rights of
the Class A Ordinary Shares or preferred shares.
Conversion
of Debt Securities
A
debt security may entitle the holder to purchase, in exchange for the extinguishment of debt, an amount of securities at an exercise
price that will be stated in the debt security. Debt securities may be converted at any time up to the close of business on the expiration
date set forth in the terms of such debt security. After the close of business on the expiration date, debt securities not exercised
will be paid in accordance with their terms.
Debt
securities may be converted as set forth in the applicable offering material. Upon receipt of a notice of conversion properly completed
and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the indenture agent, if any, or to us, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the
securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the debt security represented by such security is converted, a new debt
security will be issued for the remaining debt security.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We
may issue units composed of any combination of our Class A Ordinary Shares, preferred shares, warrants and debt securities. We will issue
each unit so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. As a result, the holder of a unit
will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide
that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The
following description is a summary of selected provisions relating to units that we may offer. The summary is not complete. When units
are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable,
will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply. The specific terms
of the units as described in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement
and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section.
This
summary and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus
is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements,
if applicable. We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue a series of units. See “Where You Can
Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a
copy of a document when it is filed.
The
applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus may describe:
|
● |
The designation and terms
of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held
or transferred separately; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Any provisions for the
issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities composing the units; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Whether the units will
be issued in fully registered or global form; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Any other terms of the
units. |
The
applicable provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Capital Share,” “Description
of Warrants,” and “Description of Debt Securities” above, will apply to each unit and to each security included in
each unit, respectively.

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.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the Class A Ordinary Shares of MPU Cayman being offered hereby will be passed upon by Ogier, our counsel as to the Cayman
Islands laws. Certain legal matters in connection with the U.S. federal laws have been passed upon for the Company by Lewis Brisbois
Bisgaard & Smith, LLP.
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.
