ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The BCA authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate
the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’
fiduciary duties.
According to the Restated Articles we must indemnify
and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the BCA as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or
is made or is threatened to be made a party to or a witness in or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, claim, inquiry or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, an action by or in the right of the Company)
and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiary
or, while a director or officer of the Company or its subsidiary, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee, trustee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other entity, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, against any and all liabilities and losses suffered, and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred, by the person in connection with such proceeding.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company
is required to indemnify or advance expenses to such person in connection with a proceeding commenced by such person (and not by way of
defense) only if the commencement of this proceeding by the person (a) was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors,
or (b) was brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under the Restated Articles, the Bylaws, any agreement, or the BCA.
The Company’s obligation to indemnify or
to advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced to the extent such person has otherwise actually received
payment (under any insurance policy or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable by the Company.
The Company has the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company
as a director or officer against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity, whether or not
the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability by law or under the provisions of the Restated Articles.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
The list of exhibits is set forth under “Exhibit
Index” at the end of this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include
any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect
in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To
include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement;
provided,
however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in Haikou City, People’s Republic of China, on this 10th day of February, 2022.
