PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

British Virgin Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that APEX Global shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who (i) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of APEX Global or (ii) is or was, at the request of APEX Global, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Such indemnity only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of APEX Global and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the registrant for which indemnification is sought.

The form of underwriting agreement filed as an exhibit to this registration statement also provides for indemnification of officers and directors of APEX Global by the underwriters against certain liabilities.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

The following sets forth information regarding all unregistered sales of our securities within the past three years.

All of these sales were exempt from registration under the Securities Act by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, or were exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S. The recipients of securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the securities, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in such transactions and there were no investors who are citizens or residents of the United States. We relied on information from purchasers that they were accredited investors and/or such investors were provided adequate information and were otherwise determined to be suitable. In all cases, there was no public solicitation. The issuances of the securities described below were effected without the involvement of underwriters. 

Upon incorporation on July 5, 2024, APEX Global issued 50,000 shares to John Ting Tiew Hui for consideration of $50,000. On April 29, 2025, John Ting Tiew Hui transferred such 50,000 shares to Chong Kee Min for consideration of $50,000. On April 30, 2025, such 50,000 shares held by Chong Kee Min were converted into 50,000 Class A Ordinary Shares.

On May 8, 2025, APEX Global issued a total of 22,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to ten (10) investors, including six (6) individuals and four (4) entities, for consideration of $658,533. 

On May 20, 2025, Jeneric Holdings, APEX Global, and Ascendo entered into a Share Swap Agreement, pursuant to which Jeneric Holdings agreed to transfer to APEX Global all the issued shares of Ascendo. As consideration for the shares of Ascendo, APEX Global agreed to allot and issue 27,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Jeneric Holdings. On May 20, 2025, APEX Global issued 27,500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to Jeneric Holdings. On June 12, 2025, Jeneric Holdings converted 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 20,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares on a 1:1 basis.

On September 4, 2025, each record owner of APEX Global’s Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares voluntarily surrendered to the Company 50% of the shares then held of record by such holder. The surrendered shares were immediately retired by the Company, without the payment of any cash or other consideration to the surrendering shareholders. As a consequence of the surrender and retirement, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding was reduced from 42,500,000 shares to 21,250,000 shares and the number of Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding was reduced from 7,500,000 shares to 3,750,000 shares, while the Company’s authorized share capital remained unchanged.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) Exhibits

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or the notes thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant under the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
