Prospectus Supplement
(To Prospectus dated April 12, 2023)

 

Green Giant Inc.

 

21,470,585 Common Units (each consisting of One Share of Common Stock, One Class A
Warrant and One Class B Warrant),

 

13,529,415 Pre-Funded Units (each consisting of One Pre-Funded Warrant, One Class A
Warrant and One Class B Warrant), and

 

Up to 13,529,415 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Pre-Funded Warrants, up to
35,000,000 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Class A Warrants, and up to
109,763,314 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Class B Warrants

 

We are offering on a best efforts basis 21,470,585 common units (each, a “Common Unit”, collectively, the “Common Units”), each consisting of one share of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “common stock”), one Class A common warrant to purchase one share of common stock (each, a “Class A Warrant” and collectively, the “Class A Warrants”) and one Class B common warrant to purchase one share of common stock (each, a “Class B Warrant” and collectively, the “Class B Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.17 per Common Unit, pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Each share exercisable pursuant to the Class A Warrants will have an exercise price per share of $0.17, equal to 100% of the public offering price per Common Unit in this offering, and each share exercisable pursuant to the Class B Warrants will have an exercise price per share of $0.27, equal to approximately 159% of the public offering price per Common Unit in this offering. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants issued in this offering.

 

The Class A Warrants will be exercisable commencing on the date on which an increase of the Company’s authorized shares has been implemented (“initial exercise date”) and will expire on the 5th anniversary of the initial exercise date, and the Class B Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the 5th anniversary of the original issuance date. The Common Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of common stock, the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance.

 

We are also offering the pre-funded units (each, a “Pre-Funded Unit”, collectively, the “Pre-Funded Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant, one Class A Warrant, and one Class B Warrant, to those purchasers whose purchase of Common Unit in this offering would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our shares of common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering. Each Pre-Funded Unit will be sold at a purchase price of $0.1699 per Pre-Funded Unit, which is equal to the price per Common Unit being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will equal $0.0001 per share. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrant are exercised in full at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrant issued in this offering.

 

 

For a more detailed description of the Common Units and the Pre-Funded Units, see the section entitled “Description of Our Securities We Are Offering” beginning on page S-19.

 

We have engaged Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as our placement agent in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent has agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any of the securities we are offering, and the Placement Agent is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. We have agreed to pay to the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus. We will bear all costs associated with the offering. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-24 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

 

Our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GGE”. On December 11, 2023, the closing sale price of our shares of common stock was $0.152 per share. There is no established public trading market for the Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the Class A Warrants, the Class B Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

Investing in securities involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement, as updated in our future filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should carefully read and consider these risk factors before you invest in our securities.

 

Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus, the terms “Green Giant” “we,” “us,” “our Company,” and the “Company” refer to Green Giant Inc., a holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida; the term “HGS Investment” refers to China HGS Investment Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and our direct wholly owned subsidiary; the terms “Shaanxi HGS” or “our PRC subsidiary” refer to Shannxi HGS Management Consulting Co., Ltd, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary; the terms the “VIE” or the “Guangsha” refer to Shaanxi Guangsha Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd.

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the state of Florida and not a Chinese operating company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our subsidiaries in China and the U.S. and the VIE in China. For accounting purposes, we control and receive the economic benefits of the VIE through certain contractual arrangements (the “VIE Agreements”), which enable us to consolidate the financial results of the VIEs in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), and the structure involves unique risks to investors. Our shares of common stock offered in this offering are shares of Green Giant Inc., the holding company in the state of Florida, instead of shares of our subsidiaries or the VIE in China. The VIE structure provides contractual exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies. Chinese law, however, does not prohibit direct foreign investment in the VIE. As a result of our use of the VIE structure, you may never directly hold equity interests in the VIE.

 

 

Because we do not directly hold equity interests in the VIE, we are subject to risks and uncertainties of the interpretations and applications of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulatory review of overseas listing of PRC companies through special purpose vehicles and the validity and enforcement of the VIE Agreements. We are also subject to the risks and uncertainties about any future actions of the PRC government in this regard that could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, and the value of our securities may depreciate significantly or become worthless. The VIE Agreements have not been tested in a court of law in China as of the date of this prospectus. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Corporate Structure” in the 2022 annual report.

 

We are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with having the majority of our operations in China, which could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. PRC laws and regulations governing our business operations in mainland China are sometimes vague and uncertain, and as a result these risks may result in material changes in the operations of the VIE, significant depreciation or a complete loss of the value of our securities, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer, or continue to offer, our securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government adopted a series of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As of the date of this prospectus, we, our PRC subsidiary, and the VIE have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any PRC regulatory authority, nor has any of them received any inquiry, notice, or sanction. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Zhejiang Taihang Law Firm (“Taihang Law Firm”), we are not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the “CAC,” under the Cybersecurity Review Measures that became effective on February 15, 2022, since we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Cybersecurity Review Measures; we are also not subject to network data security review by the CAC if the Draft Regulations on the Network Data Security Administration (Draft for Comments) (the “Security Administration Draft”) are enacted as proposed, since we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not collect data that affects or may affect national security and we do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information or data that affects or may affect national security in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Security Administration Draft.

 

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the “Trial Measures,” and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Measures, this offering is considered as an indirect offering, and the filing shall be made within 3 working days after this offering is completed. See “Risk Factors—The Opinions, the Trial Measures, and the revised Provisions recently issued by PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date of this prospectus, according to Taihang Law Firm, no relevant PRC laws or regulations in effect require that we obtain permission from any PRC authorities to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. Since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, however, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued. It is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of our subsidiaries and the VIE, our ability to accept foreign investments, and our listing on a U.S. exchange. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate additional laws, regulations, or implementing rules that require us, our subsidiaries, or the VIE to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before listing in the U.S. If we do not receive or maintain such approval, or inadvertently conclude that such approval is not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approval in the future, we may be subject to an investigation by competent regulators, fines or penalties, or an order prohibiting us from conducting an offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our common stock, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

 

 

In addition, our common stock may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. Our auditor, OneStop Assurance PAC (“OneStop”), headquartered in Singapore, is not among the PCAOB registered public accounting firms registered in mainland China or Hong Kong that are subject to PCAOB’s determination on December 16, 2021. If trading in our common stock is prohibited under the HFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, Nasdaq may determine to delist our common stock and trading in common stock could be prohibited. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”), governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our Company, our subsidiaries, and the VIE have not distributed any earnings or settled any amounts owed under the VIE Agreements. Our Company, our subsidiaries, and the VIE do not have any plan to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE Agreements in the foreseeable future. As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries or the VIE have made any dividends or distributions to our Company and our Company has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid or any assets will be transferred in the foreseeable future. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our shares of common stock in the future, as a holding company, we will depend on receipt of funds from our subsidiaries and from the VIE to our PRC subsidiary in accordance with the VIE Agreements.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, the VIE has not remitted any services fees to WFOE. However, the VIE is obligated to pay a service fee equivalent to 100% of VIE’s net income after deduction of certain tax and operational expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries or the VIE have made any dividends or distributions to us and we has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders.

 

To the extent cash in the business is in the PRC, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company, our subsidiaries, or the VIE by the PRC government to transfer cash. Our management is directly supervising cash management. Our finance department is responsible for establishing the cash management policies and procedures among our departments and the operating entities. Each department or operating entity initiates a cash request by putting forward a cash demand plan, which explains the specific amount and timing of cash requested, and submitting it to designated management members of our Company, based on the amount and the use of cash requested. The designated management member examines and approves the allocation of cash based on the sources of cash and the priorities of the needs, and submit it to the cashier specialists of our finance department for a second review. Other than the above, we currently do not have other cash management policies or procedures that dictate how funds are transferred nor a written policy that addresses how we will handle any limitations on cash transfers due to PRC law.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

On March 7, 2023, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3, as amended, (File No. 333-270324) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. The registration statement on Form S-3 was declared effective on May 2, 2023. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer from time to time securities having a maximum aggregate amount of $500,000,000.

 

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into the prospectus.

If the description of the offering varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in this prospectus supplement. However, if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date – for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus – the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. Except as specifically stated, we are not incorporating by reference any information submitted under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K into any filing under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

Any such statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you unless you are a party to such agreement. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made or expressly referenced therein. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs unless you are a party to such agreement.

Risk Factors,” and as described or may be described in any subsequent quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Item 1A.

For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.” If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our securities could decline and you might lose all or part of the value of your investment.

 

You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information that has been incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to this prospectus is delivered or securities are sold on a later date.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, as updated or supplemented by any subsequently filed periodic reports and other documents as filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors described in the documents referenced above could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business, operating results and financial condition, and could cause you to lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

Risks Relating to This Offering

 

Since our management will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any specific purpose. Accordingly, our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to influence how the proceeds are being used. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

 

Because we are a small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

 

As a public company with listed equity securities, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the Dodd-Frank Act, related rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying with these laws, rules and regulations occupies a significant amount of the time of our Board of Directors and management and significantly increases our costs and expenses. Among other things, we must:

 

●

maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

●

comply with rules and regulations promulgated by the exchange;

 

●

prepare and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;

 

 

●

maintain various internal compliance and disclosures policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading in our common stock;

 

●

involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities;

 

●

maintain a comprehensive internal audit function; and

 

●

maintain an investor relations function.

 

Future sales of our common stock, whether by us or our shareholders, could cause our stock price to decline.

 

If our existing shareholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. Similarly, the perception in the public market that our shareholders might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities. In addition, the issuance and sale by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, or the perception that we will issue such securities, could reduce the trading price for our common stock as well as make future sales of equity securities by us less attractive or not feasible. The sale of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants could further dilute the holdings of our then existing shareholders.

 

You will experience immediate dilution and substantial fluctuation in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

 

The price per share of our common stock being offered may be substantially higher or lower than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you may be subject to substantial fluctuations in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. See the section entitled “Dilution” in this prospectus for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.

 
Securities analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.

 

The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts (provided that we have engaged various non-independent analysts). We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by independent securities and industry analysts. If no independent securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively impacted. If we obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.

 

We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares of our common stock or other securities in any other offering or other transactions at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

 

This is a reasonable best efforts offering, with no minimum amount of securities required to be sold, and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby.

 

The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering, and there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated. Even if we sell securities offered hereby, because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing of this offering, the actual offering amount is not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

 

 

The price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline, which may make it difficult for investors to resell shares of our common stock at prices they find attractive. 

 

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are: 

 

	●	actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition, and, in particular, further deterioration of asset quality;
	●	changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts;
	●	failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;
	●	speculation in the press or investment community;
	●	strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
	●	actions by institutional shareholders;
	●	fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;
	●	general market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the financial services industry;
	●	proposed or adopted regulatory changes or developments;
	●	anticipated or pending investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve or affect us; or
	●	domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.

 

The stock market has experienced significant volatility recently. As a result, the market price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate more than usual and cause significant price variations to occur. The trading price of the shares of our common stock and the value of our other securities will depend on many factors, which may change from time to time, including, without limitation, our financial condition, performance, creditworthiness and prospects, future sales of our equity or equity related securities, and other factors identified below in “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Accordingly, the shares of our common stock that an investor purchases, whether in this offering or in the secondary market, may trade at a price lower than that at which they were purchased, and, similarly, the value of our other securities may decline. Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength.

 

A significant decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses for individual shareholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation.

 

A possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to further price volatility in our common shares.

 

Investors may purchase our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional common shares to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchase the shares of common stock necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline.

 

 

We have not paid and do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. Investors in this offering may never obtain a return on their investment.

 

We have not paid dividends on our common stock inception, and do not intend to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. Accordingly, you will need to rely on sales of your shares of common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, in order to realize a return on your investment.

 

There is no public market for the Common Units, Pre-Funded Units, pre-funded warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Common Units, Pre-Funded Units, pre-funded warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Common Units, Pre-Funded Units, pre-funded warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including the Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Common Units, Pre-Funded Units, pre-funded warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants will be limited.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants are speculative in nature.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on its holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price, as the case maybe. In addition, following this offering, the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, if any, is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants will equal or exceed their imputed offering price. The Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants will not be listed or quoted for trading on any market or exchange.

 

Holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants will not have rights of holders of our common stock until such warrants are exercised.

 

Until holders of Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, holders of Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such securities. Upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of our common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

 

We are subject to the payment of liquidated damages pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement in this offering if we are unable to obtain the requisite approval of our shareholders for either the BVI Merger Shareholder Approvals or the Capital Increase Shareholder Approval no later than 120 days after the closing date of this offering which individually or in the aggregate could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business, financial condition or prospects.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement in this offering, we have agreed to hold a meeting of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) at the earliest practical date after the date hereof. We have agreed to file a definitive proxy statement for such meeting of shareholders within ninety (90) days of the closing date of the offering to which this prospectus supplement relates (the “Filing Date”) and to hold such meeting of shareholders no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after such closing date (the “Meeting Requirement Date”), for the purpose of obtaining the requisite approval of its shareholders of either (A) the proposals (i) to approve the merger of the Company with GGE BVI whereby the Company will be redomiciled to the British Virgin Islands (the “Redomicile Merger”) and (ii) to adopt the Memorandum and Articles of Association of GGE BVI (the “BVI Capital Increase”) pursuant to which GGE BVI will be authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class A ordinary shares, no par value, and 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share, (collectively, the “BVI Merger Shareholder Approvals”) or, (B), to adopt a proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company pursuant to which the Company will be authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Capital Increase Shareholder Approval”). If the Company does not obtain either the BVI Merger Shareholder Approvals or the Capital Increase Shareholder Approval at the first meeting of shareholders, the Company shall call a meeting of its shareholders every four months thereafter to seek the either the BVI Merger Shareholder Approvals or the Capital Increase Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date that the BVI Merger Shareholder Approvals or the Capital Increase Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Warrants issued in this offering are no longer outstanding. If: (i) the definitive proxy is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, or (ii) the Capital Increase Shareholder Approval is not obtained and deemed effective on or before the Meeting Requirement Date (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and the date on which such Event occurs, an “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 3.0% multiplied by the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amount and aggregate Warrant Exercise Price (whether or not exercised) applicable such Holder. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

 

The payment of liquidated damages presents a potential expense for us and diverts financial resources from other uses which could individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business, financial condition or prospects.

 

 

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

 

Due to the significant decrease of the fair market value of our fixed assets, in line with best practice, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs in connection with our real estate business that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

 

As a result of the overall downturn in China’s real estate industry, particularly in non-first and second-tier cities, and the significant two-step impairment test we performed, it has been determined that the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected from the utilization and disposition of our real estate assets is significant lower than its carrying value, and therefore we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges in connection with our real estate business that could result in our reporting losses. Even though these charges may not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities.

 

Accordingly, our shareholders could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that our disclosures contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

 

The Company’s lithium-ion battery recycling business is and will be dependent on its recycling facilities. If one or more of its future facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

The Company conducts its lithium-ion battery recycling business through Green Giant Energy, the operating entity in Texas. The Company’s lithium-ion battery recycling business revenue is and will be dependent on the operations of its future facilities, including the planned facility in Houston Texas and any other facilities it may develop in the future. To the extent that the Company experiences any operational risk events including, among other things, fire and explosions, severe weather and natural disasters (such as floods, windstorms, wildfires and earthquakes), failures in water supply, major power failures, equipment failures (including any failure of its process equipment, information technology, air conditioning, and cooling and compressor systems), a cyber-attack or other incident, failures to comply with applicable regulations and standards, labor force and work stoppages, including those resulting from local or global pandemics or otherwise, or if its future facilities become capacity constrained, the Company may be required to make capital expenditures even though it may not have sufficient available resources at such time. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the proceeds available from any of the Company’s insurance policies will be sufficient to cover such capital expenditures. The Company’s insurance coverage and available resources may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to its operations. Any disruption in the Company’s recycling processes could result in delivery delays, scheduling problems, increased costs or production interruption, which, in turn, may result in its customers deciding to send their end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap to the Company’s competitors. The Company is and will be dependent on its future facilities, which will in the future require a high degree of capital expenditures. If one or more of the Company’s current or future facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

The development of an alternative chemical make-up of lithium-ion batteries or battery alternatives could materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and results of operations.

 

The development and adoption of alternative battery technologies could materially adversely affect the Company’s prospects and future revenues. Current and next generation high energy density lithium-ion batteries for use in products such as EVs use nickel and cobalt as significant inputs. Cobalt and nickel tend to be in lower supply and therefore command higher prices than certain other raw materials. Alternative chemical makeups for lithium-ion batteries or battery alternatives are being developed and some of these alternatives could be less reliant on cobalt and nickel or use other lower-priced raw materials such as lithium-iron phosphate chemistries, which contain neither cobalt nor nickel. A shift in production to batteries using lower-priced raw materials could affect the value of the end products produced by the Company, lowering its revenues and negatively impacting its results of operations.

 

The Company is subject to the risk of litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could materially adversely impact its financial results.

 

All industries, including the lithium-ion battery recycling industry, are subject to legal claims, with or without merit. From time to time, we are subject to various litigation and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, we may not be able to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any legal or regulatory proceeding could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, prospects, financial conditions and results of operations due to defense costs, the diversion of management resources, potential reputational harm and other factors.

 

 

The Company may not be able to complete its recycling processes as quickly as customers may require, which could cause it to lose supply contracts and could harm its reputation.

 

The Company may not be able to complete its recycling processes to meet the supply it receives from its customers. Operating delays and interruptions can occur for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

 

	●	equipment failures;
	●	personnel shortage;
	●	labor disputes; or
	●	transportation disruptions.

 

The recycling process for lithium-ion batteries is complex. If the Company fails to complete its recycling processes in a timely fashion, its reputation may be harmed. Any failure by the Company to complete its recycling processes in a timely fashion may also jeopardize existing orders and cause the Company to lose potential supply contracts and be forced to pay penalties.

 

The Company operates in an emerging, competitive industry and if it is unable to compete successfully its revenue and profitability will be materially adversely affected.

 

The lithium-ion recycling market is competitive. As the industry evolves and the demand increases, the Company anticipates that competition will increase. the Company currently faces competition primarily from companies that focus on one type of lithium-ion material recycling, some of which have more expertise in the recycling of that material than the Company. The Company also competes against companies that have a substantial competitive advantage because of longer operating histories and larger budgets, as well as greater financial and other resources. National or global competitors could enter the market with more substantial financial and workforce resources, stronger existing customer relationships, and greater name recognition. Competitors could focus their substantial resources on developing a more efficient recovery solution than the Company’s solutions. Competition also places downward pressure on the Company’s contract prices and gross margins, which presents it with significant challenges in its ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable gross margins. If the Company is unable to meet these competitive challenges, it could lose market share to its competitors and experience a material adverse impact to its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC

 

The Opinions, the Trial Measures, and the revised Provisions recently issued by the PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.

   

The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the “Opinions,” which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. The Opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection. The aforementioned policies and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Measures and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, the companies that have already been listed on overseas stock exchanges, shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the Trial Measures within three working days after the subsequent securities offerings are completed in the same offshore market. Thus, the filing shall be made within 3 working days after this offering is completed.

 

Breaches of the Trial Measures, such as offering and listing securities overseas without fulfilling the filing procedures, shall bear legal liabilities, including a fine between RMB 1.0 million (approximately $150,000) and RMB 10.0 million (approximately $1.5 million), and the Trial Measures heighten the cost for offenders by enforcing accountability with administrative penalties and incorporating the compliance status of relevant market participants into the Securities Market Integrity Archives. Such rules have been issued that means the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over overseas public offerings conducted by China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

 

As of the date of this prospectus, none of the Company, our PRC subsidiary, or the VIE have applied for, received, or been denied approval from any PRC authorities to issue our securities to foreign investors, nor received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions regarding issuing our securities to foreign investors from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC governmental authorities. As advised by our PRC counsel, Taihang Law Firm, apart from the filing with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Measures, we, our subsidiaries, and the PRC operating entities are not required to obtain any other permission from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other Chinese authorities to issue our securities to foreign investors based on PRC laws and regulations currently in effect.

 

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with the MOF, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China, revised the Provisions issued by the CSRC and National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China in 2009. The revised Provisions were issued under the title the “Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,” and came into effect on March 31, 2023 together with the Trial Measures. One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Trial Measures. The revised Provisions require that, among other things, (a) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. After March 31, 2023, any failure or perceived failure by our Company, our subsidiaries, or the VIE to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the revised Provisions and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities, and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

 

The Opinions, the Trial Measures, the revised Provisions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future. As there are still uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of such regulatory guidance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all new regulatory requirements of the Opinions, the Trial Measures, the revised Provisions, or any future implementing rules on a timely basis, or at all.

 

Recent greater oversight by the CAC over data security could adversely impact our business and our offering.

 

On December 28, 2021, the CAC, together with 12 other governmental departments of the PRC, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provides that, in addition to CIIOs that intend to purchase Internet products and services, data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office of the PRC. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, a cybersecurity review assesses potential national security risks that may be brought about by any procurement, data processing, or overseas listing. The Cybersecurity Review Measures further requires that CIIOs and data processing operators that possess personal data of at least one million users must apply for a review by the Cybersecurity Review Office of the PRC before conducting listings in foreign countries.

 

On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Security Administration Draft, which provides that data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. According to the Security Administration Draft, data processing operators who possess personal data of at least one million users or collect data that affects or may affect national security must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. The deadline for public comments on the Security Administration Draft was December 13, 2021.

 

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any authorities identifying our PRC subsidiary or the VIEs as CIIOs or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review or network data security review by the CAC. As the Cybersecurity Review Measures became effective and if the Security Administration Draft is enacted as proposed, we believe that the operations of our PRC subsidiary and the VIE and our listing will not be affected and that we are not subject to cybersecurity review and network data security review by the CAC, given that: (i) our PRC subsidiary and the VIE engage in real estate development, primarily in the construction and sale of residential apartments, car parks and commercial properties, therefore it is unlikely to be classified as a CIIO by the PRC regulatory agencies; (ii) our PRC subsidiary and the VIE possess personal data of fewer than one million individual clients in their business operations as of the date of this prospectus and do not anticipate that they will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the near future, which we understand might otherwise subject our PRC subsidiary and the VIE to the Cybersecurity Review Measures; and (iii) since our PRC subsidiary and the VIE are in real estate development, data processed in their business is unlikely to have a bearing on national security and therefore is unlikely to be classified as core or important data by the authorities. There remains uncertainty, however, as to how the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us. We cannot guarantee, however, that we will not be subject to cybersecurity review and network data security review in the future. During such reviews, we may be required to suspend our operation or experience other disruptions to our operations. Cybersecurity review and network data security review could also result in negative publicity with respect to our Company and diversion of our managerial and financial resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

 

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments, or bringing actions in China against us or our management based on foreign laws. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.

 

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida, and we conduct most of our operations in China and most of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of the PRC and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws or those of any U.S. state.

 

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the U.S. that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security, or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the U.S. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

 

It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with its counterparts of another country or region to monitor and oversee cross-border securities activities, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the U.S. may not be efficient in the absence of a practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or “Article 177,” which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigations or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Article 177 further provides that Chinese entities and individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to foreign agencies without prior consent from the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council and the competent departments of the PRC State Council. While detailed interpretation of or implementing rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our Common Units and/or Pre-Funded Units in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of common stock you will pay in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering. Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $33.64 million or $0.603 per share of common stock. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on June 30, 2023.

 

After giving effect to the issuance and sale of our Common Units and/or Pre-Funded Units, in the aggregate amount of $5.95 million in this offering at an offering price of $0.17 per share, and after deducting estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 would have been approximately $38,915,230, or $0.43 per share. This represents an immediate decrease of as adjusted net tangible book value per share of $0.175 to existing stockholders and immediate increase (anti-dilution) of $0.26 per share in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to investors participating in this offering:

 

Offering price per share						$	0.17
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2023		$	0.603
Decrease of net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering		$	(0.175	)
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering						$	0.43
Anti-dilution per share to new investors participating in this offering						$	0.26

 

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 55,793,268 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023, s and excludes, as of such date:

 

●

27,865,017 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at an exercise price of $0.875 per share (without giving effect to any of the anti-dilution adjustment provisions thereof); and

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GGE.” The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation, 2901 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 380, Plano, Texas 75093.

 

Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the pre-funded warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of, the pre-funded warrants. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of pre-funded warrants for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.

 

The term “pre-funded” refers to the fact that the purchase price of our shares of common stock in this offering includes almost the entire exercise price that will be paid under the pre-funded warrants, $0.1699 per share, except for a nominal remaining exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The purpose of the pre-funded warrants is to enable investors that may have restrictions on their ability to beneficially own more than 4.99% (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock following the consummation of this offering the opportunity to invest capital into the Company without triggering their ownership restrictions, by receiving Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of our shares of common stock which would result in such ownership of more than 9.99% (or such lesser percentage as required by the investor), and receive the ability to exercise their option to purchase the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants at such nominal price at a later date.

 

 

Duration and Exercise Price.

 

The pre-funded warrants offered hereby will entitle the holders thereof to purchase an aggregate of 13,529,415 shares of common stock at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share, commencing immediately on the date of issuance, expected to be December 14, 2023. The pre-funded warrants will be issued separately from the common stock and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter.

 

Exercise Limitation.

 

A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the number of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Exercise Price.

 

The pre-funded warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our shareholders.

 

Transferability.

 

Subject to applicable laws, the pre-funded warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Exchange Listing.

 

There is no established trading market for the pre-funded warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the pre-funded warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants will be limited.

 

Fundamental Transactions.

 

If a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the pre-funded warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the pre-funded warrants itself. If holders of our common stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the pre-funded warrants following such fundamental transaction.

 

Rights as a Stockholder.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the pre-funded warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our common stock, the holder of a pre-funded warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the pre-funded warrants.

 

Class A Warrants

 

The Class A Warrants included in the Common Units and the Pre-Funded Units will be separately transferable following their issuance, are exercisable commencing on the date on which an increase of the Company’s authorized shares has been implemented (“initial exercise date”) and will expire on the 5th anniversary of the initial exercise date.

 

Exercisability

 

Each Class A Warrant will be exercisable upon the initial exercise date and will expire on the 5th anniversary of the initial exercise date. The Class A Warrant will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise, except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrant is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including a stock split of, stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or recapitalization of the common stock. If we effect a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of our assets, or other similar transaction, then, upon any subsequent exercise of a Class A Warrant, the warrant holder will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon exercise in full of the Class A Warrant.

 

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its Class A Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares of common stock, then in lieu of making the cash payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Class A Warrant.

 

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise

 

In addition to any other rights available to the Class A Warrant holders, if the Company fails to cause the transfer agent to transmit to the Class A Warrant holder shares of common stock underlying the Class A Warrants from its duly authorized unissued shares in accordance with the terms of the Class A Warrants pursuant to an exercise of the Class A Warrants and a Class A Warrant holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Class A Warrant holder (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay a certain amount of compensation in cash to the Class A Warrant holder pursuant to the term of the Class A Warrant and (B) at the option of the Class A Warrant holder, either reinstate the portion of the Class A Warrant and equivalent number of warrant shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Class A Warrant holder the number of shares of common stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations pursuant to the terms of the Class A Warrants.

 

Exercise Price

 

Each Class A Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.17 per share, equal to 100% of the public offering price per Common Unit in this offering. The exercise price of the Class A Warrants shall be reset immediately following the thirtieth (30th) Trading Day following the initial exercise date (the “Reset Date”) to a price that is equal to 105% of the arithmetic average of the sum of the three lowest per share VWAPs (as defined in the Class A Warrants) of the common stock on its principal trading market for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the Reset Date.

 

In addition, the exercise price per share is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions, combinations, or reclassifications, and for certain dilutive issuances. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Class A Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Class A Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, and any other person acting as a group together with the holder or any of its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its exercise. The holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation provisions of the Class A Warrant, provided that in no event shall the limitation exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the Class A Warrant.

 

If at any time and from time to time on or after the issuance date of the Class A Warrants there occurs a Stock Combination Event (as defined in the Class A Warrants) and the Event Market Price (as defined in the Class A Warrants) is less than the exercise price of the Class A Warrants then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment to the exercise price as set forth above), then on the sixteenth (16th) trading day immediately following such Stock Combination Event, the exercise price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) trading day (after giving effect to the adjustment to the exercise price as set forth above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the exercise price of the Class A Warrants, no adjustment shall be made

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws and restrictions, a holder may transfer a Class A Warrant upon surrender of the Class A Warrant to us with a completed and signed assignment in the form attached to the Class A Warrant. The transferring holder will be responsible for any tax that liability that may arise as a result of the transfer.

 

No Market

 

There is no public trading market for the Class A Warrants and we do not intend that they will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or market.

 

Fundamental Transactions.

 

If a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the Class A Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the pre-funded warrants itself. If holders of our common stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Class A Warrants following such fundamental transaction.

 

Rights as Stockholder

 

Except as set forth in the Class A Warrant, the holder of a Class A Warrant, solely in such holder’s capacity as a holder of a Class A Warrant, will not be entitled to vote, to receive dividends, or to any of the other rights of our stockholders.

 

 

Amendments and Waivers

 

The provisions of each Class A Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions thereof waived with the written consent of us and the holder.

 

Class B Warrants

 

The Class B Warrants included in the Common Units and the Pre-Funded Units will be separately transferable following their issuance and through their expiration 5 years from the date of issuance.

 

Exercisability

 

Each Class B Warrant will be exercisable at any time and will expire 5 years from the date of issuance. The Class B Warrant will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise, except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Class B Warrants is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including a stock split of, stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or recapitalization of the common stock. If we effect a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of our assets, or other similar transaction, then, upon any subsequent exercise of a Class B Warrant, the warrant holder will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon exercise in full of the Class B Warrant.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its Class B Warrant, a registration statement registering the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Class B Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares of common stock, then in lieu of making the cash payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Class B Warrants.

 

In addition to the rights with respect to cashless exercise set forth above, the Class B Warrant holder may, at any time and in its sole discretion, exercise its Class B Warrant in whole by means of an “alternative cashless exercise” in which the holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (the exercise price minus the lowest VWAP (as defined in the Class B Warrant) of the shares of common to cover the 10 trading days immediately prior to the exercise date) by (70% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the Class B Warrants) of the shares of common to cover the 10 trading days immediately prior to the exercise date (the “Market Price”)). If at any time prior to obtaining the BVI Merger Shareholder Approvals or the Capital Increase Shareholder Approval and implementing an increase in its authorized shares (“Authorized Share Increase Date”), the Company receives a notice of exercise for an alternative cashless exercise under the Class B Warrant and the Market Price as to such notice of exercise is less than $0.0845, and when aggregated with any warrant shares previously issued upon a cash or cashless exercise hereunder, exceeds such Class B Warrant holder’s pro-rata share of 110 million shares (based on the Class B Warrant holder’s original subscription amount under the securities purchase agreement and subject to adjustment), then the Class B Warrant shall not be exercisable in excess of such amount until the Authorized Share Increase Date.

 

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise

 

In addition to any other rights available to the Class B Warrant holders, if the Company fails to cause the transfer agent to transmit to the Class B Warrant holder shares of common stock underlying the Class B Warrants from its duly authorized unissued shares in accordance with the terms of the Class B Warrants pursuant to an exercise of the Class B Warrants and a Class B Warrant holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Class B Warrant holder (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay a certain amount of compensation in cash to the Class B Warrant holder pursuant to the term of the Class B Warrant and (B) at the option of the Class B Warrant holder, either reinstate the portion of the Class B Warrant and equivalent number of warrant shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Class B Warrant holder the number of shares of common stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations pursuant to the terms of the Class B Warrants.

 

Exercise Price

 

Each Class B Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.27 per share, equal to approximately 159% of the public offering price per Common Unit in this offering, from the date of issuance through its expiration.

 

In addition, the exercise price per share is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, distributions, subdivisions, combinations, or reclassifications, and for certain dilutive issuances. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Class B Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Class B Warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates, and any other person acting as a group together with the holder or any of its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its exercise. The holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation provisions of the Class B Warrant, provided that in no event shall the limitation exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the Class B Warrant.

No Market

 

There is no public trading market for the Class B Warrants and we do not intend that they will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or market.

 

Fundamental Transactions.

 

If a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the Class B Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the pre-funded warrants itself. If holders of our common stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the Class B Warrants following such fundamental transaction.

 

Rights as Stockholder

The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

 

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the state of Florida and not a Chinese operating company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our subsidiaries in China and the U.S. and the VIE in China.

 

Substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of the PRC 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 us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

We have appointed Puglisi & Associates as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the federal securities laws of the United States or of any state in the United States or any action brought against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York under the securities laws of the State of New York.

 

Our counsel with respect to PRC law, Taihang Law Firm, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our 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 (ii) entertain original actions brought in the PRC against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

Our PRC counsel, Taihang Law Firm, has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. However, there are no treaties or other forms of reciprocity between China and the United States for the mutual recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Further, pursuant to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

 

Our PRC counsel, Taihang Law Firm, has further advised us that, under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC laws against us in the PRC, if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis, and a cause for the suit. However, it would be difficult for foreign shareholders to establish sufficient nexus to the PRC by virtue only of holding our common stock.

Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus, and any supplement thereto, will be passed upon for us by Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC, New York, NY. Loeb & Loeb LLP is counsel to the Placement Agent in connection with this offering.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We may issue securities from time to time in one or more offerings, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined at the time of offering. This prospectus describes the general matter in which these securities may be offered using this prospectus. Each time we offer and sell securities, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement as well as the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus before you purchase any of the securities offered hereby. The aggregate offering amount of the securities we sell pursuant to this prospectus will not exceed $500,000,000.

 

This prospectus may not be used to offer and sell securities unless accompanies by a prospectus supplement.

 

Our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol GGE. Each prospectus supplement will indicate whether the securities offered thereby will be listed on any securities exchange.

 

As of March 6, 2023, the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates was $124,285,134.72, based on the closing price of $3.04 on January 10, 2023 (within 60 days prior to the date of filing). Therefore, as of March 6, 2023, the aggregate market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates was more than $75,000,000, as calculated in accordance with General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

Investing in securities involves certain risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement, as updated in our future filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should carefully read and consider these risk factors before you invest in our securities.

 

Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus, the terms “Green Giant” “we,” “us,” “our Company,” and the “Company” refer to Green Giant Inc., a holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida; the term “HGS Investment” refers to China HGS Investment Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and our direct wholly owned subsidiary; the terms “Shaanxi HGS” or “our PRC subsidiary” refer to Shannxi HGS Management Consulting Co., Ltd, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary; the terms the “VIE” or the “Guangsha” refer to Shaanxi Guangsha Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd.

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the state of Florida and not a Chinese operating company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our subsidiaries in China and the U.S. and the VIE in China. For accounting purposes, we control and receive the economic benefits of the VIE through certain contractual arrangements (the “VIE Agreements”), which enable us to consolidate the financial results of the VIEs in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), and the structure involves unique risks to investors. Our shares of common stock offered in this offering are shares of Green Giant Inc., the holding company in the state of Florida, instead of shares of our subsidiaries or the VIE in China. The VIE structure provides contractual exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies. Chinese law, however, does not prohibit direct foreign investment in the VIE. As a result of our use of the VIE structure, you may never directly hold equity interests in the VIE.

 

 

Because we do not directly hold equity interests in the VIE, we are subject to risks and uncertainties of the interpretations and applications of PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to, regulatory review of overseas listing of PRC companies through special purpose vehicles and the validity and enforcement of the VIE Agreements. We are also subject to the risks and uncertainties about any future actions of the PRC government in this regard that could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, and the value of our securities may depreciate significantly or become worthless. The VIE Agreements have not been tested in a court of law in China as of the date of this prospectus. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Corporate Structure” in the 2022 annual report.

 

We are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with having the majority of our operations in China, which could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. PRC laws and regulations governing our business operations in mainland China are sometimes vague and uncertain, and as a result these risks may result in material changes in the operations of the VIE, significant depreciation or a complete loss of the value of our securities, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer, or continue to offer, our securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government adopted a series of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As of the date of this prospectus, we, our PRC subsidiary, and the VIE have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any PRC regulatory authority, nor has any of them received any inquiry, notice, or sanction. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Zhejiang Taihang Law Firm (“Taihang Law Firm”), we are not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the “CAC,” under the Cybersecurity Review Measures that became effective on February 15, 2022, since we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Cybersecurity Review Measures; we are also not subject to network data security review by the CAC if the Draft Regulations on the Network Data Security Administration (Draft for Comments) (the “Security Administration Draft”) are enacted as proposed, since we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not collect data that affects or may affect national security and we do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information or data that affects or may affect national security in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Security Administration Draft.

 

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the “Trial Measures,” and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Measures, this offering is considered as an indirect offering, and the filing shall be made within 3 working days after this offering is completed. See “Risk Factors—The Opinions, the Trial Measures, and the revised Provisions recently issued by PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date of this prospectus, according to Taihang Law Firm, no relevant PRC laws or regulations in effect require that we obtain permission from any PRC authorities to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. Since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, however, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued. It is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of our subsidiaries and the VIE, our ability to accept foreign investments, and our listing on a U.S. exchange. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate additional laws, regulations, or implementing rules that require us, our subsidiaries, or the VIE to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before listing in the U.S. If we do not receive or maintain such approval, or inadvertently conclude that such approval is not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approval in the future, we may be subject to an investigation by competent regulators, fines or penalties, or an order prohibiting us from conducting an offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our common stock, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

 

 

In addition, our common stock may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. Our auditor, OneStop Assurance PAC (“OneStop”), headquartered in Singapore, is not among the PCAOB registered public accounting firms registered in mainland China or Hong Kong that are subject to PCAOB’s determination on December 16, 2021. If trading in our common stock is prohibited under the HFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, Nasdaq may determine to delist our common stock and trading in common stock could be prohibited. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”), governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our Company, our subsidiaries, and the VIE have not distributed any earnings or settled any amounts owed under the VIE Agreements. Our Company, our subsidiaries, and the VIE do not have any plan to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE Agreements in the foreseeable future. As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries or the VIE have made any dividends or distributions to our Company and our Company has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid or any assets will be transferred in the foreseeable future. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our shares of common stock in the future, as a holding company, we will depend on receipt of funds from our subsidiaries and from the VIE to our PRC subsidiary in accordance with the VIE Agreements.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, the VIE has not remitted any services fees to WFOE. However, the VIE is obligated to pay a service fee equivalent to 100% of VIE’s net income after deduction of certain tax and operational expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries or the VIE have made any dividends or distributions to us and we has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders.

 

To the extent cash in the business is in the PRC, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company, our subsidiaries, or the VIE by the PRC government to transfer cash. Our management is directly supervising cash management. Our finance department is responsible for establishing the cash management policies and procedures among our departments and the operating entities. Each department or operating entity initiates a cash request by putting forward a cash demand plan, which explains the specific amount and timing of cash requested, and submitting it to designated management members of our Company, based on the amount and the use of cash requested. The designated management member examines and approves the allocation of cash based on the sources of cash and the priorities of the needs, and submit it to the cashier specialists of our finance department for a second review. Other than the above, we currently do not have other cash management policies or procedures that dictate how funds are transferred nor a written policy that addresses how we will handle any limitations on cash transfers due to PRC law.

 

The date of this prospectus is April 12, 2023

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, as updated or supplemented by any subsequently filed periodic reports and other documents as filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

 

The Company’s lithium-ion battery recycling business is and will be dependent on its recycling facilities. If one or more of its future facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

The Company conducts its lithium-ion battery recycling business through Green Giant Energy, the operating entity in Texas. The Company’s lithium-ion battery recycling business revenue is and will be dependent on the operations of its future facilities, including the planned facility in Houston Texas and any other facilities it may develop in the future. To the extent that the Company experiences any operational risk events including, among other things, fire and explosions, severe weather and natural disasters (such as floods, windstorms, wildfires and earthquakes), failures in water supply, major power failures, equipment failures (including any failure of its process equipment, information technology, air conditioning, and cooling and compressor systems), a cyber-attack or other incident, failures to comply with applicable regulations and standards, labor force and work stoppages, including those resulting from local or global pandemics or otherwise, or if its future facilities become capacity constrained, the Company may be required to make capital expenditures even though it may not have sufficient available resources at such time. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the proceeds available from any of the Company’s insurance policies will be sufficient to cover such capital expenditures. The Company’s insurance coverage and available resources may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to its operations. Any disruption in the Company’s recycling processes could result in delivery delays, scheduling problems, increased costs or production interruption, which, in turn, may result in its customers deciding to send their end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap to the Company’s competitors. The Company is and will be dependent on its future facilities, which will in the future require a high degree of capital expenditures. If one or more of the Company’s current or future facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

The development of an alternative chemical make-up of lithium-ion batteries or battery alternatives could materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and results of operations.

 

The development and adoption of alternative battery technologies could materially adversely affect the Company’s prospects and future revenues. Current and next generation high energy density lithium-ion batteries for use in products such as EVs use nickel and cobalt as significant inputs. Cobalt and nickel tend to be in lower supply and therefore command higher prices than certain other raw materials. Alternative chemical makeups for lithium-ion batteries or battery alternatives are being developed and some of these alternatives could be less reliant on cobalt and nickel or use other lower-priced raw materials such as lithium-iron phosphate chemistries, which contain neither cobalt nor nickel. A shift in production to batteries using lower-priced raw materials could affect the value of the end products produced by the Company, lowering its revenues and negatively impacting its results of operations.

 

The Company is subject to the risk of litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could materially adversely impact its financial results.

 

All industries, including the lithium-ion battery recycling industry, are subject to legal claims, with or without merit. From time to time, we are subject to various litigation and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, we may not be able to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any legal or regulatory proceeding could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, prospects, financial conditions and results of operations due to defense costs, the diversion of management resources, potential reputational harm and other factors.

 

 

The Company may not be able to complete its recycling processes as quickly as customers may require, which could cause it to lose supply contracts and could harm its reputation.

 

The Company may not be able to complete its recycling processes to meet the supply it receives from its customers. Operating delays and interruptions can occur for many reasons, including, but not limited to:

 

	●	equipment failures;
	●	personnel shortage;
	●	labor disputes; or
	●	transportation disruptions.

 

The recycling process for lithium-ion batteries is complex. If the Company fails to complete its recycling processes in a timely fashion, its reputation may be harmed. Any failure by the Company to complete its recycling processes in a timely fashion may also jeopardize existing orders and cause the Company to lose potential supply contracts and be forced to pay penalties.

 

The Company operates in an emerging, competitive industry and if it is unable to compete successfully its revenue and profitability will be materially adversely affected.

 

The lithium-ion recycling market is competitive. As the industry evolves and the demand increases, the Company anticipates that competition will increase. the Company currently faces competition primarily from companies that focus on one type of lithium-ion material recycling, some of which have more expertise in the recycling of that material than the Company. The Company also competes against companies that have a substantial competitive advantage because of longer operating histories and larger budgets, as well as greater financial and other resources. National or global competitors could enter the market with more substantial financial and workforce resources, stronger existing customer relationships, and greater name recognition. Competitors could focus their substantial resources on developing a more efficient recovery solution than the Company’s solutions. Competition also places downward pressure on the Company’s contract prices and gross margins, which presents it with significant challenges in its ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable gross margins. If the Company is unable to meet these competitive challenges, it could lose market share to its competitors and experience a material adverse impact to its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC

 

The Opinions, the Trial Measures, and the revised Provisions recently issued by the PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.

   

The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the “Opinions,” which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. The Opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection. The aforementioned policies and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Measures and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, the companies that have already been listed on overseas stock exchanges, shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the Trial Measures within three working days after the subsequent securities offerings are completed in the same offshore market. Thus, the filing shall be made within 3 working days after this offering is completed.

 

Breaches of the Trial Measures, such as offering and listing securities overseas without fulfilling the filing procedures, shall bear legal liabilities, including a fine between RMB 1.0 million (approximately $150,000) and RMB 10.0 million (approximately $1.5 million), and the Trial Measures heighten the cost for offenders by enforcing accountability with administrative penalties and incorporating the compliance status of relevant market participants into the Securities Market Integrity Archives. Such rules have been issued that means the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over overseas public offerings conducted by China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

 

As of the date of this prospectus, none of the Company, our PRC subsidiary, or the VIE have applied for, received, or been denied approval from any PRC authorities to issue our securities to foreign investors, nor received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions regarding issuing our securities to foreign investors from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC governmental authorities. As advised by our PRC counsel, Taihang Law Firm, apart from the filing with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Measures, we, our subsidiaries, and the PRC operating entities are not required to obtain any other permission from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other Chinese authorities to issue our securities to foreign investors based on PRC laws and regulations currently in effect.

 

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with the MOF, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China, revised the Provisions issued by the CSRC and National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China in 2009. The revised Provisions were issued under the title the “Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,” and came into effect on March 31, 2023 together with the Trial Measures. One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Trial Measures. The revised Provisions require that, among other things, (a) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. After March 31, 2023, any failure or perceived failure by our Company, our subsidiaries, or the VIE to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the revised Provisions and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities, and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

 

The Opinions, the Trial Measures, the revised Provisions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future. As there are still uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of such regulatory guidance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all new regulatory requirements of the Opinions, the Trial Measures, the revised Provisions, or any future implementing rules on a timely basis, or at all.

 

Recent greater oversight by the CAC over data security could adversely impact our business and our offering.

 

On December 28, 2021, the CAC, together with 12 other governmental departments of the PRC, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provides that, in addition to CIIOs that intend to purchase Internet products and services, data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office of the PRC. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, a cybersecurity review assesses potential national security risks that may be brought about by any procurement, data processing, or overseas listing. The Cybersecurity Review Measures further requires that CIIOs and data processing operators that possess personal data of at least one million users must apply for a review by the Cybersecurity Review Office of the PRC before conducting listings in foreign countries.

 

On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Security Administration Draft, which provides that data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. According to the Security Administration Draft, data processing operators who possess personal data of at least one million users or collect data that affects or may affect national security must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. The deadline for public comments on the Security Administration Draft was December 13, 2021.

 

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any authorities identifying our PRC subsidiary or the VIEs as CIIOs or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review or network data security review by the CAC. As the Cybersecurity Review Measures became effective and if the Security Administration Draft is enacted as proposed, we believe that the operations of our PRC subsidiary and the VIE and our listing will not be affected and that we are not subject to cybersecurity review and network data security review by the CAC, given that: (i) our PRC subsidiary and the VIE engage in real estate development, primarily in the construction and sale of residential apartments, car parks and commercial properties, therefore it is unlikely to be classified as a CIIO by the PRC regulatory agencies; (ii) our PRC subsidiary and the VIE possess personal data of fewer than one million individual clients in their business operations as of the date of this prospectus and do not anticipate that they will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the near future, which we understand might otherwise subject our PRC subsidiary and the VIE to the Cybersecurity Review Measures; and (iii) since our PRC subsidiary and the VIE are in real estate development, data processed in their business is unlikely to have a bearing on national security and therefore is unlikely to be classified as core or important data by the authorities. There remains uncertainty, however, as to how the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us. We cannot guarantee, however, that we will not be subject to cybersecurity review and network data security review in the future. During such reviews, we may be required to suspend our operation or experience other disruptions to our operations. Cybersecurity review and network data security review could also result in negative publicity with respect to our Company and diversion of our managerial and financial resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

 

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments, or bringing actions in China against us or our management based on foreign laws. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.

 

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida, and we conduct most of our operations in China and most of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of the PRC and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws or those of any U.S. state.

 

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the U.S. that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security, or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the U.S. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

 

It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with its counterparts of another country or region to monitor and oversee cross-border securities activities, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the U.S. may not be efficient in the absence of a practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or “Article 177,” which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigations or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Article 177 further provides that Chinese entities and individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to foreign agencies without prior consent from the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council and the competent departments of the PRC State Council. While detailed interpretation of or implementing rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

Description of Debt Securities

 

As used in this prospectus, the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt securities. We may also issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein as an Indenture) will be entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued under an Indenture.

 

The Indenture or forms of Indentures, if any, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

As you read this section, please remember that for each series of debt securities, the specific terms of your debt security as described in the applicable prospectus supplement will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in the summary below. The statement we make in this section may not apply to your debt security.

 

Events of Default Under the Indenture

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

●

if we fail to pay the principal or premium, if any, when due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase or otherwise;

 

●

if we fail to pay interest when due and payable and our failure continues for certain days;

 

●

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the Securities of a Series or in this Indenture, and our failure continues for certain days after we receive written notice from the trustee or holders of at least certain percentage in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series. The written notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”;

 

●

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur; and

 

●

if any other event of default provided with respect to securities of that series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate as defined in the Form of Indenture.

 

We covenant in the Form of Indenture to deliver a certificate to the trustee annually, within certain days after the close of the fiscal year, to show that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture and that we have not defaulted under the indenture.

 

Nonetheless, if we issue debt securities, the terms of the debt securities and the final form of indenture will be provided in a prospectus supplement. Please refer to the prospectus supplement and the form of indenture attached thereto for the terms and conditions of the offered debt securities. The terms and conditions may or may not include whether or not we must furnish periodic evidence showing that an event of default does not exist or that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture.

 

The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the Indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indentures (and any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under each Indenture) and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.

 

 

General

 

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct secured or unsecured obligations of our company. The senior debt securities will rank equally with any of our other unsecured senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness.

 

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in ranking.

 

Should an indenture relate to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the senior indebtedness issued under an Indenture.

Holders of the debt securities may present registered debt securities for exchange or transfer in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as limited by the applicable Indenture, we will provide these services without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the exchange or transfer.

 

Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate as specified in the prospectus supplement. In addition, if specified in the prospectus supplement, we may sell debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate, or at a discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any special federal income tax considerations applicable to these discounted debt securities.

 

We may issue debt securities with the principal amount payable on any principal payment date, or the amount of interest payable on any interest payment date, to be determined by referring to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such debt securities may receive a principal amount on any principal payment date, or interest payments on any interest payment date, that are greater or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value on such dates of applicable currency, commodity, equity index or other factors. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information as to how we will determine the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, as well as the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on that date relates and certain additional tax considerations.

 

Description of Warrants

 

We may issue warrants to purchase our common stock or preferred stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to this prospectus or any combination of the foregoing and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent.

We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement that we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any registered holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of warrant and/or warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, that contain the terms of the warrants.

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the number of common stock or preferred stock of the relevant class or Class At the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

 

Prior to the exercise of any warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock of the relevant class or series, holders of the warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise, including the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise, if any.

 

 

Description of Rights

 

We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:

 

●

the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution;

 

●

the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;

 

●

the exercise price;

 

●

the conditions to completion of the rights offering;

 

●

the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and

 

●

any applicable federal income tax considerations.

 

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

 

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Description of Units

 

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.

 

We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we may offer under this prospectus, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

 

We may issue units comprised of Common Stock or preferred shares and warrants in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, 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. If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:

 

●

the title of the series of units;

 

●

identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;

 

●

the price or prices at which the units will be issued;

 

●

the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable, if applicable;

 

●

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units;

 

●

a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and

 

●

any other material terms of the units and their constituent securities.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Share Capital – Common Stock and Preferred Shares” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any Common Stock, preferred shares or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct Class As we determine.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

 

We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

 

We, the unit agents and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, (iii) through agents, or (iv) through a combination of any these methods. The securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. The prospectus supplement will include the following information:

 

	●	the terms of the offering;
	●	the names of any underwriters or agents;
	●	the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;
	●	the purchase price of the securities;
	●	any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
	●	the net proceeds from the sale of the securities;
	●	any delayed delivery arrangements;
	●	any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;
	●	any offering price;
	●	any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
	●	any commissions paid to agents; and
	●	any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

Sale through Underwriters or Dealers

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers.

 

 

Direct Sales and Sales through Agents

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

 

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

 

Delayed Delivery Contracts

 

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

 

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

 

General Information

 

Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.

 

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the state of Florida and not a Chinese operating company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct our operations through our subsidiaries in China and the U.S. and the VIE in China.

 

Substantially all of our assets are located in the PRC. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of the PRC 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 us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

We have appointed Puglisi& Associates as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the federal securities laws of the United States or of any state in the United States or any action brought against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York under the securities laws of the State of New York.

 

Our counsel with respect to PRC law, Taihang Law Firm, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our 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 (ii) entertain original actions brought in the PRC against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

Our PRC counsel, Taihang Law Firm, has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. However, there are no treaties or other forms of reciprocity between China and the United States for the mutual recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Further, pursuant to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

 

Our PRC counsel, Taihang Law Firm, has further advised us that, under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC laws against us in the PRC, if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis, and a cause for the suit. However, it would be difficult for foreign shareholders to establish sufficient nexus to the PRC by virtue only of holding our common stock.

 

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus, and any supplement thereto, will be passed upon for us by Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC, New York, NY. The legality of the securities for any underwriters, dealers or agents will be passed upon by counsel as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
