CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, research and development plans, the anticipated timing, costs, design and conduct of our ongoing and planned research and development for our products and services, our ability to commercialize our products, the impact of global geopolitical events, such as the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East conflicts, on our business, the potential benefits of strategic agreements and our intent to enter into any strategic arrangements, the timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and future results of anticipated product development efforts, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein also contain estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which we discuss in greater detail in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. For all forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to purchase any of our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, and in other documents that we subsequently file with the SEC that update, supersede or supplement such information, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to achieve our goals, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose some or all of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline materially and you could lose all or part of your investment. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section above titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” 

Risks Related to this Offering

If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, applicable restrictions could make it impractical for us to continue our business as contemplated and could have a material adverse effect on our business and the price of our ordinary shares.

An entity will generally be deemed an “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) if: (a) it is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, or (b) absent an applicable exemption, it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We believe that we are engaged primarily in the business of providing business and technology consulting services and not in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We hold ourselves out as a business consulting firm and do not propose to engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. In that respect, we do not believe that we fall within the definition of an “investment company” under the 1940 Act because substantially all of our revenue has come from consulting fees and other factors such as the history of the Company, how the Company has represented itself in the marketplace and the lack of investing expertise by almost all of senior management.

The 1940 Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operation of investment companies. Among other things, the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, generally prohibit the issuance of options and impose certain governance requirements. We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. However, if we were to be deemed an investment company, restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act, including limitations on our capital structure and our ability to transact business with affiliates, could make it impractical for us to continue our business as currently conducted and would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and the price of our ordinary shares. In addition, we may be required to limit the amount of investments that we make as a principal or otherwise conduct our business in a manner that does not subject us to the registration and other requirements on the 1940 Act.

In the event we are required to register as a broker-dealer, our business model could be harmed.

We do not believe our current business practices or operations require us to register as a broker-dealer under US federal and state laws. We restrict our activities and services so as to not be deemed a broker-dealer under US state and federal regulations. However, if we were deemed by a relevant authority to be acting as a broker-dealer, we could be subject to a variety of penalties, including fines and rescission offers and could be required to register as a broker-dealer, which would increase our costs, especially our compliance costs. If in those circumstances we decided not to register as a broker-dealer or act in association with a broker-dealer in our transactions, we may not be able to continue to operate under our current business model which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial prospects.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our ordinary shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our ordinary shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and our shareholders will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. See “Use of Proceeds” on page 10 of this prospectus for a description of our proposed use of proceeds from this offering.

We may be or become a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

The rules governing passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) can have adverse effects for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The tests for determining PFIC status for a taxable year depend upon the relative values of certain categories of assets and the relative amounts of certain kinds of income. The determination of whether we are a PFIC, which must be made annually after the close of each taxable year, depends on the particular facts and circumstances (such as the valuation of our assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets) and may also be affected by the application of the PFIC rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. The fair market value of our assets is expected to relate, in part, to (a) the market price of our ordinary shares and (b) the composition of our income and assets, which will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend any cash that is raised in any financing transaction. Moreover, our ability to earn specific types of income that we currently treat as non-passive for purposes of the PFIC rules is uncertain with respect to future years. Because the value of our assets for the purpose of determining PFIC status will depend in part on the market price of our ordinary shares, which may fluctuate significantly. We do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year.

If we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder (as defined below) would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as ineligibility for any preferred tax rates on capital gains or on actual or deemed dividends, interest charges on certain taxes treated as deferred, and additional reporting requirements under U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations. A U.S. Holder may in certain circumstances mitigate adverse tax consequences of the PFIC rules by filing an election to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”) or, if shares of the PFIC are “marketable stock” for purposes of the PFIC rules, by making a mark-to-market election with respect to the shares of the PFIC. We do not intend to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to permit U.S. Holders to elect to treat us as a QEF. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election with respect to its ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder is in its U.S. federal taxable income an amount reflecting any year end increase in the value of its ordinary shares. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (a) if a court within the U.S. can exercise primary supervision over its administration, and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the substantial decisions of that trust, or (b) that was in existence on August 20, 1996, and validly elected under applicable Treasury Regulations to continue to be treated as a domestic trust.

Investors should consult their own legal and tax advisors regarding all aspects of the application of the PFIC rules to ordinary shares.

If tax authorities were to successfully challenge our transfer pricing, there could be an increase in our overall tax liability, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate are subject to differing interpretations. Tax authorities may challenge our tax positions, and if successful, such challenges could increase our overall tax liability. In addition, the tax laws in the jurisdiction in which we operate are subject to change. We cannot predict the timing or content of such potential changes, and such changes could increase our overall tax liability, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. IN REVIEWING THIS FILING, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT OTHER POSSIBLE RISKS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Selling Shareholder Shares by the Selling Shareholder. All net proceeds from the sale of the Selling Shareholder Shares covered by this prospectus will go to the Selling Shareholder. We expect that the Selling Shareholder will sell the Selling Shareholder Shares as described under “Plan of Distribution”. Any proceeds from the Selling Shareholder that we receive under the Purchase Agreement and the Commitment Warrant are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

SELLING SHAREHOLDER

The Selling Shareholder Shares being offered by the Selling Shareholder are those held or issuable to the Selling Shareholder and those issuable upon exercise of the Commitment Warrant. For additional information regarding the issuances of the ordinary shares, and the Commitment Warrant, see “Alumni Capital Transaction”. We are registering the ordinary shares in order to permit the Selling Shareholder to offer the Selling Shareholder Shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Selling Shareholder Shares and the Commitment Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 2024 and amended on September 23, 2024, January 13, 2025, April 8, 2025, and May 21, 2025, between us and Alumni Capital, by and between the Company and Alumni Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement by and between the Company, and Alumni Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership, the Selling Shareholder has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the Selling Shareholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of ordinary shares held by each of the Selling Shareholder. The second column lists the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholder, based on its respective ownership of Purchase Agreement and the Commitment Warrant issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

The third column lists the ordinary shares being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Shareholder and does not take in account any limitations on exercise of the Commitment Warrant set forth therein.

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the ordinary shares and the Commitment Warrant, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the maximum number of ordinary shares issued or issuable under the Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the Commitment Warrants as if it was exercised in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained therein solely for the purpose of such calculation). Because the number of ordinary shares and the Commitment Warrant may be adjusted, the number of ordinary shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the Commitment Warrant, the Selling Shareholder may not exercise the Commitment Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) the Selling Shareholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of ordinary shares which would exceed 9.99% of the ordinary shares of the Company. The number of ordinary shares in the second column does not reflect these limitations. The Selling Shareholders may sell all, some, or none of their ordinary shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

DIVIDEND POLICY

On June 6, 2023, we declared a first single tier interim dividend of $0.01 per ordinary share. The dividend was paid out on July 31, 2023, to the shareholders whose names were on the record at the close of business on July 3, 2023. On July 31, 2023, we paid out dividends in the amount of $104,557.28 to our shareholders.

We expect to pay dividends to shareholders on a regular basis at the end of each financial year, irrespective of any interim dividends, which may be declared intermittently. Our Board of Directors shall have the sole discretion on the annual amount of dividend to be paid to the shareholders.

Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on then existing conditions. Under BVI law, the directors of the company can approve a distribution at any time and of such amount as they think fit, provided that the resolution of directors authorizing the distribution must include a Solvency Statement that, in the opinion of the directors, the company will, immediately after the distribution, satisfy the solvency test set out in the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, being that:

ALUMNI CAPITAL TRANSACTION

On August 1, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and Commitment Warrant with Alumni Capital. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Alumni Capital has agreed to purchase from us up to $35,000,000 (the “Commitment Amount”) of our ordinary shares from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have filed with the SEC this prospectus supplement regarding the sale and issuance of Selling Shareholder Shares under the Securities Act. In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we have issued the Commitment Warrant to Alumni Capital as a commitment fee. The Commitment Warrant provides Alumni Capital with the right to purchase at any time until August 1, 2027, up to a number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) 20% of the Commitment Amount less the aggregate Exercise Values (as defined below) of all previous partial exercises of the Commitment Warrant, divided by (ii) the Exercise Price (as defined below) on the date of exercise. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, a total of $14,922,652.77 of our ordinary have been sold to Alumni Capital under the Purchase Agreement, of which $4,584,363.21 were covered by our prospectus supplement dated August 5, 2024 and related to our registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-279521) and $10,338,289.56 of which were covered by our prospectus dated October 11, 2024 and related to our registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-282454). Alumni Capital has partially exercised the Commitment Warrant for an aggregate Exercise Value of $550,000. The ordinary shares issued pursuant to such exercises were covered by our prospectus dated October 11, 2024, and related to our registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-282454). This prospectus includes up to 55,263,586 Selling Shareholder Shares, which includes (i) up to 35,263,586 Purchase Shares to be sold to Alumni Capital under the Purchase Agreement and (ii) up to 20,000,000 Warrant Shares to be sold to Alumni Capital under the Commitment Warrant.

“Exercise Value” means with respect to any exercise of the Commitment Warrant, the number of ordinary shares received upon such exercise multiplied by the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise.

“Exercise Price” means with respect to any exercise of the Commitment Warrant, $10,000,000 divided by the number of outstanding ordinary shares on the date of such exercise.

Cashless Exercise. With respect to exercises of the Commitment Warrant of up to $5,000,000 or if at any time there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by Alumni Capital, then the Commitment Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which Alumni Capital shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

“Market Price” means the highest traded price of the shares of our ordinary shares during the three hundred sixty-five (365) trading days prior to the date of the applicable notice of exercise.

We may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, direct Alumni Capital to purchase the Purchase Shares upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement at a purchase price per share based on the market price of our Common Shares at the time of sale as computed under the Purchase Agreement. Alumni Capital may not assign its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement prohibits us from directing Alumni Capital to purchase any Purchase Notice Securities if those shares, when aggregated with all other ordinary shares then beneficially owned by Alumni Capital, would result in Alumni Capital and its affiliates owning in excess of 4.99%, of our then issued and outstanding ordinary shares (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) unless mutually waived by the parties.

Purchase of Purchase Shares Under the Purchase Agreement

Commencing on the date that the Commitment Warrants are delivered and ending at the end of the Commitment Period we may, from time to time direct Alumni Capital to purchase such number of Purchase Shares set forth on a written notice from us (the “Purchase Notice”) at a price equal to the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount of Purchase Shares cannot exceed $1,000,000 or the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. We will deliver the Purchase Shares concurrently with the delivery of a Purchase Notice, which will be deemed delivered on the same business day if Alumni Capital receives the Purchase Shares and the Purchase Notice by 8:00 a.m., New York time, or on the next business day if Alumni Capital receives the Purchase Shares and the Purchase Notice after 8:00 a.m., New York time. Within five Business Days after the Purchase Notice Date, Alumni Capital shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Notice Securities multiplied by the Purchase Price (the “Closing Date”).

“Purchase Price” means with respect to any Closing Date, the lowest traded price for the ordinary shares for the five (5) consecutive Business Days immediately prior to such Closing Date multiplied by 102%.

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement and Commitment Warrant on our Shareholders

The Selling Shareholder Shares registered in this offering that may be issued or sold by us to Alumni Capital under the Purchase Agreement and Commitment Warrant are expected to be freely tradable. The Purchase Shares registered in this offering may be sold until the end of the Commitment Period and Alumni Capital may purchase Warrant Shares until August 1, 2027. The sale by Alumni Capital of a significant number of our ordinary shares at any given time could cause the market price of our Common Shares to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our ordinary shares to Alumni Capital under the Purchase Agreement or Commitment Warrant, if any, will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us, in our sole discretion, in the case of the Purchase Shares or Alumni Capital, in the case of the Warrant Shares. We may ultimately decide to sell to Alumni Capital all, some or none of the Purchase Shares that may be available for us to sell pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Alumni Capital may decide purchase all, some or none of the Warrant Shares. If and when we do sell the Purchase Shares to Alumni Capital or when Alumni Capital purchases Warrant Shares, Alumni Capital may resell all, some or none of those shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. Therefore, sales to Alumni Capital by us under the Purchase Agreement or Commitment Warrant may result in substantial dilution to the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of the Selling Shareholder Shares to Alumni Capital under the Purchase Agreement and Commitment Warrant, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of Selling Shareholder Shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with Alumni Capital may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of the Purchase Shares to Alumni Capital.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Alumni Capital to purchase up to $135,000,000 of our ordinary shares of which Alumni Capital has previously purchased ordinary shares under the Purchase Agreement in the amount of $22,256,523.88. These amounts are exclusive of the Commitment Warrants issued to Alumni Capital as consideration for its commitment to purchase our ordinary shares under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement generally prohibits us from issuing or selling to Alumni Capital under the Purchase Agreement any of our ordinary shares that, when aggregated with all other of our ordinary shares then beneficially owned by Alumni Capital and its affiliates, would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Capitalized terms that are not defined herein may have meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Shareholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

The Selling Shareholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholder (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Shareholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholder against certain losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholder without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the ordinary shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the ordinary shares by the Selling Shareholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

The transfer agent and registrar for our ordinary shares is VStock LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. Their telephone number is (212) 828-8436.

Our ordinary shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “VCIG.”

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

As permitted by SEC rules, this prospectus omits certain information and exhibits that are included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Since this prospectus may not contain all of the information that you may find important, you should review the full text of these documents. If we have filed a contract, agreement, or other document as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, you should read the exhibit for a more complete understanding of the document or matter involved. Each statement in this prospectus, including statements incorporated by reference as discussed above, regarding a contract, agreement, or other document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual document.

We are subject to periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to foreign private issuers. Accordingly, we are required to file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other information with the SEC. All information filed with the SEC can be inspected over the Internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt under the Exchange Act from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic or current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus. The information incorporated by reference into this prospectus is deemed to be part of this prospectus, and any information filed with the SEC after the date of this prospectus will automatically be deemed to update and supersede information contained in this prospectus.

The following documents previously filed with the SEC are incorporated by reference in this prospectus:

All filings filed by us pursuant to the Exchange Act after the date of the initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and prior to effectiveness of the registration statement shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

We also incorporate by reference all additional documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the terms of Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are made after the date of the initial registration statement but prior to effectiveness of the registration statement and after the date of this prospectus but prior to the termination of the offering of the securities covered by this prospectus. We are not, however, incorporating, in each case, any documents or information that we are deemed to furnish and not file in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus.

The modifying or superseding statement need not state it has modified or superseded a prior statement or include any other information set forth in the document that it modifies or supersedes. The making of a modifying or superseding statement is not an admission for any purposes that the modified or superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

BVI 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 the BVI High Court to be contrary to public policy (e.g. for purporting to provide indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime). An indemnity will be void and of no effect and will not apply to a person unless the person acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be in the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for the indemnification of our directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud of such directors. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our 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.
