Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Since mid-September 2023, Mr. Zheng Dai, Mr. Pijun Liu, and certain individuals under their control (the “Unauthorized Persons”) had been falsely and repeatedly holding themselves out as representing and/or authorized to represent the Company. For example, the Unauthorized Persons caused to be filed certain current reports on Forms 8-K dated September 28, 2023 and October 10, 2023, in which they purported to appoint new officers and directors. These filings were false and should be disregarded.
On September 28, 2023, a derivative lawsuit was filed by certain purported shareholders affiliated with the Unauthorized Persons in the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming against certain officers and directors of the Company, seeking control of the Company. This case was dismissed without prejudice on October 18, 2023.
On October 18, 2023, the same individuals who filed the above-described derivative suit filed a direct action against the Company in the Chancery Court of the State of Wyoming (the “Chancery Court”), again seeking control of the Company. The Company responded to the lawsuit, sought a temporary restraining order restraining the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates (including the Unauthorized Persons) from claiming be in control of the Company.
On November 7, 2023, the Chancery Court issued a temporary restraining order substantially restraining the plaintiff-shareholders and their affiliates from claiming to act on behalf of the Company. The lawsuit remains pending as at reporting date.
On November 30, 2023, the Company responded to plaintiffs’ arguments that they controlled the Company, pointing out that plaintiffs’ case (Mr. Dai Zheng and his affiliates) was largely built upon forged signatures and other fabricated materials. In response, the plaintiffs withdrew their opposition to the Company’s request for an injunction.
On January 5, 2024, the Chancery Court entered a preliminary injunction order (attached hereto). Specifically, the order restrained Mr. Dai Zheng and his affiliates from the following conduct:
(i) acting as or holding themselves out as majority shareholders, directors, executives, or employees of the Company and its affiliates;
(ii) making any attempts to contact the SEC, Nasdaq, government authorities, or make any filing or press release on behalf of the Company;
(iii) making any attempts to change the board composition and executive team;
(iv) disseminating false statements regarding the Company and its leadership;
(v) making any attempts to contact the Company’s service providers, including auditors, stock transfer agents, and filing agents;
(vi) making any attempts to issue the Company’s shares.
