AUREUS GREENWAY HOLDINGS INC.
3,000,000Shares of Common stock being offered by the Company
750,000Shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders
This is an initial public offering of Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) on a firm commitment basis of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share and an additional 750,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share held by certain Selling Stockholders . We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Stockholders. We expect the initial public offering price to be in the range of $4.00 to $6.00 per share.
The shares of common stock offered in this prospectus are shares of Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc., a Nevada holding company, which has no material operations of its own and conducts substantially all of its operations through its operating entities in the United States. For a description of our corporate structure, see “Corporate History and Structure” beginning on page 64. Our corporate structure involves unique risks to investors. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure”.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We have reserved the symbol “AGH” for purposes of listing our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq. At this time, Nasdaq has not yet approved our application to list our common stock. The closing of this offering is conditional upon Nasdaq’s final approval of our listing application, and there is no guarantee or assurance that our common stock will be approved for listing on Nasdaq.
As of the date of this prospectus, the Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 450,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. 20,000,000 shares of our preferred stock are designated into shares of series A preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to twenty (20) votes on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought, respectively. Shares of our Series A Preferred Stock vote together with shares of our common stock. Shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into each other. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive dividends.
Additionally, we are, and following the completion of this offering, will continue to be a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c). This “controlled company” status is due to the fact that Ace Champion Investments Limited, Trendy View Assets Management, and Chrome Fields Asset Management LLC, each of which are controlled in part by Mr. S. Cheung our designated executive director, Mr. Y. C. Cheung and Ms. C. Lee, and Mr. C. P. Cheung our executive director, respectively beneficially own Series A Preferred Stock and common stock of the Company and will each be able to exercise 49.2%, 9.6%, and 39.4% of our voting power and will be able to determine all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, immediately after the consummation of this offering, assuming the sale of 3,000,000 and 750,000 shares of common stock by us and the Selling Stockholders respectively, and no exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option under this offering. For further information, see “Principal and Selling Stockholders.” We do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. However, our decision not to rely on the “controlled company” exemption could change. See “Risk Factors” and “Management — Controlled Company.”
We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”
Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 to read about factors you should consider before buying our common stock.
