Global Interactive Technologies, Inc.

On November 6, 2024, the Financial Services Commission of Korea notified the Company that it intends to impose an administrative fine of KRW 142,100,000 on Hanryu Holdings, Inc. (the former name of the Company), alleging that the Company failed to submit a securities registration statement in Korea in connection with the portion of the IPO funds raised from Korean investors in 2023.

In response, the Company contested the notice, asserting that it only held an information session without soliciting subscriptions, and that Hanryu Holdings, Inc. is a U.S. corporation not subject to Korean regulations and therefore not obligated to file a securities registration statement in Korea. However, on March 27, 2025, the Financial Services Commission rejected the Company’s objection.

As a result, on June 24, 2025, the Company filed an administrative appeal with the Korea Central Administrative Appeals Commission seeking cancellation of the administrative fine. An administrative appeal to the Administrative Appeals Commission is a non-judicial procedure that can be filed prior to an administrative lawsuit, and based on the outcome of the appeal, the Company may file an administrative lawsuit with the court.

Regarding the administrative appeal filed against the imposition of a fine of KRW 142,100,000 by the Financial Services Commission, the Korean Central Administrative Appeals Commission scheduled a hearing for October 14, 2025. As a result of the hearing, the Commission dismissed the Company’s appeal to cancel the fine of KRW 142,100,000.

The Company received the written decision of the administrative appeal from the Central Administrative Appeals Commission by mail on November 6, 2025. The Company is currently seeking the cancellation of the administrative surcharge imposed by the Securities and Futures Commission of Korea through administrative court proceedings, and the matter remains pending.
