(“EdisonFuture”) and Xiaofeng Denton Peng, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, holders entitled to vote an aggregate of 17,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0004 per share (“Common Stock”), representing approximately 50.3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company (collectively, the “Majority Stockholders”), that have approved the following actions (the “Actions”) by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders:

The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the Company’s Bylaws permit holders of a majority of the voting power to take stockholder action by written consent. The Written Consent constitutes the consent of a majority of the total number of votes entitled to vote on the Actions and is sufficient under Section 228 the DGCL to approve the Actions. Under Delaware law, the Actions became effective upon delivery of the Written Consent to the Company on May 16, 2024. Accordingly, the Company is not required to and will not hold a meeting of its stockholders to approve the Actions described herein. We encourage you to read the attached Information Statement carefully, including the exhibits, for further information.

Accordingly, all necessary corporate approvals required pursuant to the DGCL and the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws in connection with the matters referred to herein have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of informing the stockholders of the Company of this corporation action, in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the notice requirements of the DGCL.

AND

NOTICE OF ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 228

OF THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

This Information Statement is being mailed or furnished to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Written Consent on May 16, 2024 (the “Record Date”) of the Majority Stockholders of the Company entitled to vote an aggregate of 17,650,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 50.3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, that approved the following Actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders:

The approval of each of the Actions was taken by written consent pursuant to Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which provides that any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding common stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The Majority Stockholders adopted resolutions approving the Actions by entering into the Written Consent on May 16, 2024 pursuant to Article II, Section 6 of the Company’s Bylaws. Under Delaware law, the Actions became effective upon delivery of the Written Consent to the Company on May 16, 2024.

The elimination of the need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Actions is made possible by Section 228 of the DGCL and the Company’s Bylaws. Utilizing the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our voting securities eliminates the costs involved in holding a special meeting of stockholders.

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting of stockholders to all stockholders who did not consent in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as this notice. This Information Statement is first being mailed or furnished to stockholders on or about May 30, 2024 to stockholders of record as of that date, and is being delivered to inform you of the corporate action described herein in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act.

No appraisal rights are afforded to our stockholders under Delaware law in connection with the matters discussed in this Information Statement.

The Company knows of no other matters other than that described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved or considered by the holders of the Common Stock.
