Based on the closing bid price of the Company's listed securities for the last 30 consecutive business days from September 4, 2025 to October 15, 2025, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Listing Rules 5550(a)(2).

The Notice states that under the Listing Rules 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 14, 2026, to regain compliance under the Listing Rules. To regain compliance under the Listing Rules, the Company's Class A ordinary shares must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by April 14, 2026, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Class A ordinary shares between now and April 14, 2026, and to evaluate its available options to regain compliance within the compliance period.
