What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

 

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” This proxy statement has been sent directly to you by us.

 

Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. This proxy statement has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions included with your proxy materials.

 

How do I vote my shares?

 

Shareholders can vote in person at the Meeting or by proxy. There are two ways to vote by proxy:

 

 

By Internet — You can vote over the Internet by going to www.transhare.com, clicking on Vote Your Proxy, logging in using the control number and following the instructions to vote your shares;

     
 

By Mail — You can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card;

 

By Email: Please email your signed proxy card to Proxy@Transhare.com; or

 

By Fax: Please fax this proxy card to 1.727. 269.5616.

 

If you vote via the internet, your electronic vote authorizes the named proxies in the same manner as if you signed, dated, and returned your proxy card. If you vote via the internet, do not return your proxy card.

 

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record, you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Internet voting also will be offered to shareholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you plan to vote your shares in person at the Meeting, you should contact your broker or agent to obtain a legal proxy or broker’s proxy card and bring it to the Meeting in order to vote.

 

If you vote by proxy, the individuals named on the proxy card (your “proxies”) will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. You may specify how your shares should be voted for each of the proposals. If you grant a proxy without indicating your instructions, your shares will be voted as follows:

 

 

FOR all the nominated directors;

     
 

FOR the Appointment of HTL;

     
 

FOR the Share Capital Increase;

     
  FOR the Share Consolidation;
     
 

FOR the adoption of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association;

     
  “FOR” the amendment and restatement of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association;
     
  FOR the Proposed Private Placement; and
     
  FOR the adjournment of the Meeting.

 

What constitutes a quorum?

 

According to the Company’s Articles of Association, a meeting of shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person, through their authorised representative or by proxy holding in aggregate at least one-third of the paid up voting share capital of the Company entitled to vote on resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. Where a quorum comprises a single Member or proxy, such person may pass a resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person be a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid resolution of Members.

 

What is a broker “non-vote” and what is its effect on voting?

 

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares does not have the authority to vote on the matter with respect to those shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

For the purpose of determining whether the shareholders have approved Proposal Two and Proposal Seven, abstentions, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of these Proposals, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

 

Any shareholder executing a proxy has the power to revoke such proxy at any time prior to its exercise. You may revoke your proxy prior to exercise by:

Can I receive future shareholder communications electronically through the Internet?

 

Yes. You may elect to receive future notices of meetings, proxy materials and annual reports electronically through the Internet. To consent to electronic delivery, vote your shares using the Internet.

PROPOSAL TWO

 

TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Background

 

We are proposing to approve the appointment of HTL International as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed HTL International to serve as the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 independent registered public accounting firm. Although the Company’s governing documents do not require the submission of this matter to shareholders, the Board of Directors considers it desirable that the appointment of HTL International be approved by shareholders.

 

Audit services to be provided by HTL International for fiscal 2025 will include the examination of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and services related to periodic filings made with the SEC.

 

A representative of HTL International is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and therefore will not (i) have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire or (ii) be available to respond to questions from shareholders. 

 

If the appointment of HTL International is not approved, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider the appointment.

 

Vote Required

 

The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to approval this Proposal. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” this Proposal. Abstentions, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of this Proposal, although they will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present. If shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and do not instruct them how to vote, the broker may have authority to vote the shares for this Proposal, which is considered a routine matter.

 

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL FOUR

 

TO APPROVE THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMPANY’S ISSUED AND UNISSUED ORDINARY SHARES

 

Background

 

We are proposing (A) to consolidate the Company’s issued and unissued ordinary shares to be approved at a ratio of not less than one (1)-for-five (5) and not more than one (1)-for-twenty(20) (the “Range”), with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this Range and the exact date to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion within one year after the date of passing of these resolutions (the “Share Consolidation”) provided that no fractional share shall arise from the Share Consolidation, and (B) to authorize the Company to round up any fractional shares resulting from the Share Consolidation to the nearest whole ordinary share, and to authorize the Board to do all other such acts and things as the Board considers necessary or desirable for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by the Share Consolidation, including determining the Range and the exact date of the Share Consolidation and instructing the registered office provider or transfer agent of the Company to complete the necessary corporate record(s) and filing(s) to reflect the Share Consolidation.

 

Purpose of Share Consolidation

 

The Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol of “UBXG.” In order for the Ordinary Shares to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, the Company must satisfy various listing standards established by Nasdaq. Specifically, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires that listed shares maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Upon such failure, the Company will receive a written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department and will be provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. 

 

The Board believes that the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)would likely result in decreased liquidity. Such decreased liquidity would result in the increase in the volatility of the trading price of the Ordinary Shares, a loss of current or future coverage by certain analysts and a diminution of institutional investor interest. In addition, the Board believes that such delisting could also cause a loss of confidence of corporate partners, customers and employees, which could harm the Company’s business and future prospects.

 

To enhance the Company’s ability to retain the compliance with the bid price requirement and remain listed on Nasdaq, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders to authorize the Board to effectuate a share consolidation to increase the market price of the Ordinary Shares to meet the bid price requirement if needed. As a result, the Board is soliciting shareholders’ approval of the authorization to the Board to effect the Share Consolidation within the Range to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion within one year after the shareholders’ approval (and if the Board did not determine a ratio within such one-year period, the Share Consolidation would not proceed and will be abandoned), and to provide authorization to the Board to settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation of Ordinary Shares of the Company to round up any fractions of Ordinary Shares issued to or registered in the name of such shareholders of the Company following or as a result of the Share Consolidation.

 

In evaluating whether or not to conduct the Share Consolidation, the Board also took into account various negative factors associated with such corporate action. These factors include: the negative perception of share consolidation held by some investors, analysts and other stock market participants; the fact that the share prices of some companies and the Company that have effected of share consolidation have subsequently declined back to pre-consolidation levels; the adverse effect on liquidity that might be caused by a reduced number of shares outstanding; and the costs associated with implementing a share consolidation.

 

The Board considered these factors, and the potential harm of being delisted from Nasdaq. The Board determined that continued listing on Nasdaq is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and that the Share Consolidation is probably necessary to maintain the listing of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq.

 

In addition, there can be no assurance that, after the Share Consolidation, the Company would be able to maintain the listing of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Nasdaq maintains several other continued listing requirements currently applicable to the listing of the Ordinary Shares. Shareholders should recognize that if the Share Consolidation is effected, they will own a smaller number of Ordinary Shares than they currently own. While the Company expects that the Share Consolidation will result in an increase in the market price of the Ordinary Shares, it may not increase the market price of the Ordinary Shares in proportion to the reduction in the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding or result in a permanent increase in the market price (which depends on many factors, including but not limited to our performance, prospects and other factors that may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding).

 

11

 

 

If the Share Consolidation is effected and the market price of the Ordinary Shares declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of the Company’s overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Share Consolidation. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Share Consolidation. Accordingly, the Share Consolidation may not achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares shall be issued upon the Share Consolidation. Upon approval of this Proposal, the directors will be authorized to round up any fractions of Ordinary Shares for issuing to such shareholders of the Company who are entitled to fractional shares following or as a result of the Share Consolidation.

 

Effects of the Share Consolidation

 

Authorized Shares and Unissued Shares

 

At the time the Share Consolidation is effective, our authorized Ordinary Shares, will be consolidated at the ratio between one (1)-for-five (5) and one (1)-for-twenty (20), accompanied by a corresponding increase in the par value of the Ordinary Shares, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range, to be determined by the Board.

 

Issued and Outstanding Shares

 

The Share Consolidation will also reduce the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares at the ratio between one (1)-for-five (5) and one (1)-for-twenty (20), accompanied by a corresponding increase in the par value of the Ordinary Shares, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range, to be determined by the Board.

 

Each shareholder’s proportionate ownership of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately following the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation would remain the same, with the exception of adjustments related to the treatment of fractional shares (see above).

 

Proportionate adjustments will be made based on the ratio of the Share Consolidation to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, our Ordinary Shares. This will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of Ordinary Shares being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the Share Consolidation as was the case immediately preceding the Share Consolidation.

 

There are no preferred shares currently issued and outstanding.

 

Procedure for Implementing the Share Consolidation

 

As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the Company’s shareholders will be notified that the Share Consolidation has been effected through filing with SEC by the Company. The Company expects that its transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of share certificates. If needed, holders of pre-consolidation shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-consolidation Ordinary Shares in exchange for certificates representing post-consolidation Ordinary Shares or, in the case of holders of non-certificated shares, such proof of ownership as required by the exchange agent, in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal that the Company will send to its registered shareholders. No new share certificates will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered such shareholder’s outstanding share certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.

 

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

 

12

 

 

Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Share Consolidation for their beneficial holders holding shares in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures from those that apply to registered shareholders for processing the Share Consolidation. If a shareholder holds shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, shareholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee.

  8.1 All Monies Payable. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every Share, whether or not it is a fully paid Share, for all moneys, whether presently payable or not, called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that Share and for all debts, liabilities or other obligations owed, whether presently or not, by the Member or by one or more joint Members or by any of their estates to the Company (together, the Lien Amounts) but the Directors may, at any time, declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from this Article. The Company’s lien, if any, on a Share shall extend to all Distributions payable thereon. Any registration of the transfer of a Share shall operate to extinguish the Company’s lien on that Share.

 

  8.2 Sale. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares in which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and the period of fourteen days has elapsed after the Company has given a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of such part of the presently payable amount, to the relevant Member.

 

  8.3 Registration of Purchase. The Directors may authorise any person to transfer the Shares sold in accordance with this Article to the purchaser of such Shares.

  8.4 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of the sale, net of any costs incurred by the Company in relation to the sale, shall be applied by the Company in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable.

  9 CALLS ON SHARES

 

  9.1 Calls. The Directors may, from time to time, make calls upon the Members in respect of some or all of any moneys unpaid on their Shares, whether in respect of their par value or the premium payable on those Shares; each Member shall (subject to receiving at least 14 days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on his Shares. A call may be required to be paid in instalments. The Directors may revoke or postpone a call at any time.

 

  9.2 Joint Holders. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof and the holder or joint holders of a Share at the time of a call shall remain liable to pay the call on that Share, notwithstanding any subsequent transfer of the Share being registered by the Company.

 

  9.3 Interest on Calls. If a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment of that call, the Member from whom such amount is due shall pay interest upon the sum at such rate as the Directors may determine from the day appointed for payment of the call to the time of the actual payment. The Directors shall have the discretion to waive payment of any such interest in full or in part.

 

  9.4 Fixed Payment Dates. The provisions contained in these Articles in respect of calls shall apply to payments, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, to be made on the allotment of a Share or any date fixed on the issue of the Share as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

  10.5 Outstanding Liability. A person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares together with interest.

 

  10.6 Certificate of Forfeiture. A certificate in writing under the hand of a Director or Officer stating that a Share has been duly forfeited on the date stated in the certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in the certificate as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The Directors may authorize any person to transfer the Shares sold in accordance with this Article to the purchaser of such Shares. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Shares so transferred and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale of the Shares in accordance with this Article.

 

  10.7 Fixed Payment Dates.

Representatives shall be entitled to the same notices, dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person, through their authorised representative or by proxy holding in aggregate at least one-third of the paid up voting share capital of the Company entitled to vote on resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. Where a quorum comprises a single Member or proxy, such person may pass a resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person be a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid resolution of Members.

 

  17.7 No Quorum. If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting the Members present shall be a quorum.

 

  17.8 Polls.

If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The minutes of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of the fact that a resolution was carried or not without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

  32.2 Ranking. Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all Distributions shall be declared and paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds.

  34.2 No Record Date Chosen. If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to attend meetings, receive payment of a Distribution or capitalisation, the date on which the notice of the meeting is given or resolution of the Directors declaring such Distribution or capitalisation is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members.

The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.
