18、ctus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus.The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.We may not sell these securities until theregistration statement filed with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission is effective.This prospectus is not anoffer to sell these se
19、curities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offeror sale is not permitted.PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUSSUBJECT TO COMPLETION,DATED ,2023 1,875,000 Ordinary SharesGLOBAVEND HOLDINGS LIMITED This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares,par va
20、lue US$0.001 per ordinary share(“Ordinary Shares”or“Shares”),of Globavend Holdings Limited,an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liabilitywhose principal place of business is in Hong Kong(“Globavend Holdings”).We are offering on a firm commitment basis1,875,000 Ordinary
21、 Shares of Globavend Holdings,representing 12.50%of the Ordinary Shares following completion ofthe offering of Globavend Holdings.Following the offering,of the Ordinary Shares will be held by shareholders for generaltrading,assuming the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option.Prior to
22、 this offering,there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares.The offering price of our OrdinaryShares in this offering is expected to be between$4.00 and$5.00 per share.We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares onthe Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol“GVH.”The closing of this offerin
23、g is contingent upon the final approvalfrom Nasdaq for our listing on Nasdaq Capital Market.There is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will beapproved for listing on Nasdaq Capital Market or that the offering will be closed.Investors are cautioned that you are buying shares of a Cay
24、man Islands holding company with operations inHong Kong by its operating subsidiary.Globavend Holdings is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with no material operations of itsown,and we conduct our operations primarily in Hong Kong through Globavend HK.References to the“Company,”“w
25、e,”“us,”and“our”in the prospectus are to Globavend Holdings,the Cayman Islands entity that will issue the Ordinary Sharesbeing offered.References to“Globavend HK”are to our sole operating subsidiary as of the date of this prospectus.This isan offering of the Ordinary Shares of Globavend Holdings,the
26、 holding company in the Cayman Islands,instead of theshares of the Globavend HK.Investors in this offering may never directly hold any equity interests in Globavend HK.Investing in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk.Before buying anyshares,you should careful
27、ly read the discussion of material risks of investing in our Ordinary Shares in“RiskFactors”beginning on page 19 of this prospectus.Our operations are principally located in Hong Kong,a special administrative region of the Peoples Republic ofChina(“China”or the“PRC”),with its own governmental and le
28、gal system that is independent from mainland China,including having its own distinct laws and regulations.As of the date of this prospectus,we are not subject to the PRCgovernments direct influence or discretion over the manner in which we conduct our business activities outside of thePRC.However,du
29、e to long-arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations,there remains regulatoryuncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of laws in China.Additionally,all of the legal andoperational risks associated with operating in the PRC also apply to our operations in Hong
30、Kong,and we face the risks anduncertainties associated with interpretation and the application of the complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations andas to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments,such as those relating to dataand cyberspace security,and anti
31、-monopoly concerns would be applicable to Globavend Holdings or Globavend HK,giventhe substantial operations of our sole operating subsidiary in Hong Kong and the possibilities that Chinese government mayexercise significant oversight over the conduct of business in Hong Kong.We are also subject to
32、the risks of uncertaintyabout any future actions of the PRC government or authorities in Hong Kong in this regard.Should the PRC government choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business,they may intervene in or influence our operations.Such governmental act
33、ions:could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities;could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue our operations;could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors;and m
34、ay cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.We are aware that recently,the PRC government has initiated a series of regulatory actions and new policies toregulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice,including cracking down on ill
35、egalactivities in the securities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a variableinterest entity(“VIE”)structure,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding theefforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.Since these statements and
36、 regulatory actions are new,it is highly uncertain howsoon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations ordetailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,if any.It is also highly uncertain what thepo
37、tential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on Globavend HKs daily business operation,itsability to accept foreign investments and the listing of our Ordinary Shares on U.S.or other foreign exchanges.The PRCgovernment may intervene or influence our operations at any time and m
38、ay exert more control over offerings conductedoverseas and foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers.The PRC government may also intervene or imposerestrictions on our ability to move out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends or to reinvest in our businessoutside of Hong Kong.Fur
39、thermore,PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws,regulations orimplementing rules that require our company or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from PRC authoritiesbefore this offering.These actions could result in a material change in our operations and coul
40、d significantly limit orcompletely hinder our ability to complete this offering or cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline orbecome worthless.See“Prospectus Summary Recent Regulatory Developments in the PRC”beginning on page 11.We are headquartered in Hong Kong and not mainla
41、nd China.We do not use VIEs in our corporate structure.We,through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary,Globavend HK,engage in the provision of end-to-end supply chain solutionin Hong Kong,Australia and New Zealand as an e-commerce logistics provider.As of the date of this prospectus,our operations i
42、n Hong Kong and our registered public offering in the United Statesare not subject to the review nor prior approval of the Cyberspace Administration of China(the“CAC”)nor the ChinaSecurities Regulatory Commission(the“CSRC”),because(i)the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule orinterpreta
43、tion concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to this regulation;and(ii)GlobavendHK was established and operate in Hong Kong and is not included in the categories of industries and companies whoseforeign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CA
44、C.Uncertainties still exist,however,due to thepossibility that laws,regulations,or policies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future.In the event that(i)the PRCgovernment expanded the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to reviewby the CSRC or t
45、he CAC and that we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals,or(ii)we inadvertentlyconcluded that relevant permissions or approvals were not required or that we did not receive or maintain relevantpermissions or approvals required,any action taken by the PRC government could significantly
46、 limit or completely hinderour operations in Hong Kong and our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could causethe value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless and even delisting if our Ordinary Shares.The delistingof our Ordinary Shares,or
47、the threat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affect the value of yourinvestment in the future.On December 24,2021,the CSRC released the Draft Administrative Provisions and the Draft Filing Measures,bothof which had a comment period that expired on January 23,2022.The Draft Adminis
48、trative Provisions and Draft FilingMeasures regulate the administrative system,record-filing management,and other related rules in respect of the direct orindirect overseas issuance of listed and traded securities by“domestic enterprises.”The Draft Administrative Provisionsspecify that the CSRC has
49、regulatory authority over the“overseas securities offering and listing by domestic enterprises”,and requires“domestic enterprises”to complete filing procedures with the CSRC if they wish to list overseas.On February17,2023,the CSRC released the Trial Measures for Administration of Overseas Securitie
50、s Offerings and Listings byDomestic Companies and five interpretive guidelines(collectively,the“CSRC Filing Rules”).According to the CSRCFiling Rules,domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas,both directly and indirectly,should fulfill thefiling procedures and report relevant
51、 information to the CSRC;any failure to comply with such filling procedures mayresult in administrative penalties,such as an order to rectify,warnings,and fines.On April 2,2022,the CSRC published theDraft Archives Rules,for public comment.These rules state that in the overseas listing activities of
52、domestic companies,domestic companies,as well as securities companies and securities service institutions providing relevant securitiesservices thereof,should establish a sound system of confidentiality and archival work,shall not disclose state secrets,orharm the state and public interests.Under th
53、e CSRC Filing Rules,Chinese domestic companies conducting overseas securities offering and listingactivities,either in direct or indirect form,shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements ofthe CSRC Filing Rules within three working days following their submission of i
54、nitial public offerings or listingapplication.The companies that have already been listed on overseas stock exchanges or have obtained the approval fromoverseas supervision administrations or stock exchanges for its offering and listing and will complete their overseasoffering and listing prior to S
55、eptember 30,2023 are not required to make immediate filings for its listing,yet need to makefilings for subsequent offerings in accordance with the CSRC Filing Rules.Companies that have already submitted anapplication for an initial public offering to overseas supervision administrations prior to th
56、e effective date of the CSRCFiling Rules but have not yet obtained the approval from overseas supervision administrations or stock exchanges for theoffering and listing,shall arrange for the filing within a reasonable time period and shall complete the filing procedurebefore such companies overseas
57、issuance and listing.Management understands that as of the date of this prospectus Globavend HK has no operations in China and is notrequired to complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the CSRC Filing Rules.WhileGlobavend HK has no current operations in China,should
58、we have any future operations in China and should we(i)fail toreceive or maintain such permissions or approvals,(ii)inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are notrequired,or(iii)applicable laws,regulations,or interpretations change and require us to obtain such permissions orappro
59、vals in the future,we may face sanctions by the CSRC,the CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies.These regulatoryagencies may also impose fines and penalties on our operations in China,as well as limit our ability to pay dividendsoutside of China,limit our operations in China,delay or restrict the repa
60、triation of the proceeds from this offering intoChina or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business as well as the trading price of ourOrdinary Shares.We may be required to restructure our operations to comply with such regulations or potentially ceaseoperations in
61、the PRC entirely.The CSRC,the CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies also may take actions requiring us,or making it advisable for us,to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of our Ordinary Shares.In addition,if theCSRC,the CAC or other regulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rules r
62、equiring that we obtain their approvals forthis offering,we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements,if and when procedures are established toobtain such a waiver.Any action taken by the PRC government could significantly limit or completely hinder ouroperations in the PRC and
63、our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of suchsecurities to significantly decline or be worthless.Furthermore,on July 10,2021,the CAC issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for publiccomment,which required that,among other
64、s,in addition to any“operator of critical information infrastructure”,any“dataprocessor”controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchangeshould also be subject to cybersecurity review,and further elaborated the factors to be considered
65、 when assessing thenational security risks of the relevant activities.On December 28,2021,the CAC,the National Development and ReformCommission(“NDRC”),and several other administrations jointly issued the revised Measures for Cybersecurity Review,which became effective and replaced the existing Meas
66、ures for Cybersecurity Review on February 15,2022.According tothe Revised Review Measures,if an“online platform operator”that is in possession of personal data of more than onemillion users intends to list in a foreign country,it must apply for a cybersecurity review.Based on a set of Q&A publishedo
67、n the official website of the State Cipher Code Administration in connection with the issuance of the Revised ReviewMeasures,an official of the said administration indicated that an online platform operator should apply for a cybersecurityreview prior to the submission of its listing application wit
68、h non-PRC securities regulators.Moreover,the CAC released thedraft of the Regulations on Network Data Security Management in November 2021 for public consultation,which amongother things,stipulates that a data processor listed overseas must conduct an annual data security review by itself or byengag
69、ing a data security service provider and submit the annual data security review report for a given year to themunicipal cybersecurity department before January 31 of the following year.Given the recency of the issuance of theRevised Review Measures and their pending effectiveness,there is a general
70、lack of guidance and substantial uncertaintiesexist with respect to their interpretation and implementation.It remains unclear whether a Hong Kong company whichcollects personal information from PRC individuals shall be subject to the Revised Review Measures.We do not currentlyexpect the Revised Rev
71、iew Measures to have an impact on our business,our operations or this offering as we do not believethat Globavend HK would be deemed to be an“operator of critical information infrastructure”or a“data processor”controlling personal information of no less than one million users,that would be required
72、to file for cybersecurity reviewbefore listing in the U.S.,because(i)Globavend HK is organized and operating in Hong Kong and the Revised ReviewMeasures remains unclear whether it shall be applied to Hong Kong companies;(ii)Globavend HK operates without anysubsidiary or VIE structure in China;(iii)a
73、s of date of this prospectus,Globavend HK has neither collected nor storedpersonal information of any PRC individual clients,which is far less than one million users;and(iv)as of the date of thisprospectus,Globavend HK has not been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that i
74、t files for acybersecurity review.However,there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of relevant PRCcybersecurity laws and regulations.If the Revised Review Measures are adopted into law in the future and if GlobavendHK is deemed to be an“operator of critical informa
75、tion infrastructure”or a“data processor”controlling personalinformation of no less than one million users,the operation of our subsidiaries and the listing of our Ordinary Shares in theU.S.could be subject to CACs cybersecurity review.We have been advised by our Hong Kong counsel,that based on their
76、 understanding of the current Hong Kong laws,as of the date of this prospectus,the Company and Globavend HK are not required to obtain any permissions or approvalsfrom Hong Kong authorities before listing in the U.S.and issuing our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors.No suchpermissions or approvals
77、 have been applied for by the Company and/or its subsidiaries or denied by any relevantauthorities.As of the date of this prospectus,Globavend HK does not require any requisite permissions or approvals fromthe Hong Kong authorities to operate its businesses.Globavend HK has received all requisite pe
78、rmissions or approvalsfrom the Hong Kong authorities to operate their businesses in Hong Kong,including but not limited to their businessregistration certificates.However,we have been advised by our Hong Kong counsel that uncertainties still exist,due to thepossibility that laws,regulations,or polic
79、ies in Hong Kong could change rapidly in the future.Based on Managements internal assessment that the Company and its subsidiaries currently have no materialoperations in the PRC,Management understands that as of the date of this prospectus,the Company is not required toobtain any permissions or app
80、rovals from PRC authorities before listing in the U.S.and to issue our Ordinary Shares toforeign investors,including the CAC or the CSRC because(i)the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule orinterpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to this r
81、egulation;and(ii)theCompany operates in Hong Kong and is not included in the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securitiesofferings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC.We also understand that Globavend HK is not required to obtainany permissions or approvals from any Chine
82、se authorities to operate their businesses as of the date of this prospectus.Nopermissions or approvals have been applied for by the Company or denied by any relevant authorities.In addition,our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter marketunder the
83、 Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act(the“HFCA Act”)if the Public Company Accounting OversightBoard(United States)(the“PCAOB”)is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years.Pursuant to the HFCAAct,the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16,2021 which found that the PCAO
84、B is unable to inspect orinvestigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in:(i)mainland China of the PRC,and(ii)HongKong;and such report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.On August 26,2022,the PCAOB signed a S
85、tatement of Protocol with the CSRC and Chinas Ministry of Finance(the“PRC MOF”)in respect of cooperation on the oversight of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms based in mainlandChina and Hong Kong.Pursuant to the Statement of Protocol,the PCAOB conducted inspections on select registered public
86、accounting firms subject to the Determination Report in Hong Kong between September 2022 and November 2022.OnDecember 15,2022,the PCAOB board announced that it has completed the inspections,determined that it had completeaccess to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms
87、headquartered in mainland China and HongKong,and voted to vacate the Determination Report.Our auditor,ZH CPA,LLC,the independent registered publicaccounting firm that issues the audit report included in this prospectus,as an auditor of companies that are traded publiclyin the United States and a fir
88、m registered with the PCAOB,is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which thePCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess ZH CPA,LLCs compliance with applicable professional standards.ZHCPA,LLC is headquartered in Denver,Colorado,and can be inspected by the PCAOB.ZH CPA,LLC was not ident
89、ified inthe Determination Report as a firm subject to the PCAOBs determination.Notwithstanding the foregoing,in the event that,in the future,the PCAOB determines that it is not able to fully conduct inspections of our auditor for three consecutiveyears,or the PCAOB re-evaluates its determination as
90、a result of any obstruction with the implementation of the Statementof Protocol in the future,trading of our securities on a national securities exchange or in the over-the counter market maybe prohibited under the HFCA Act and our access to the U.S.capital markets may be limited or restricted.In ad
91、dition,onJune 22,2021,the U.S.Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act(the“AHFCAA”),which,if passed by the U.S.House of Representatives and signed into law,would reduce the period of time for foreigncompanies to comply with the PCAOB audits to two consecutive years in
92、stead of three,thus reducing the time period fortriggering the prohibition on trading.On December 29,2022,the Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023(the“CAA”)wassigned into law by President Biden.The CAA contained,among other things,an identical provision to the AHFCAA,whichreduces the number of conse
93、cutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act fromthree years to two.The delisting of our Ordinary Shares,or the threat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affect thevalue of your investment.See“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Ordinary Sha
94、res Although the audit report includedin this prospectus is prepared by U.S.auditors who are currently inspectable by the PCAOB,there is no guarantee thatfuture audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspectable by the PCAOB and,as such,in the future investors may bedeprived of the benefits of t
95、he PCAOB inspection program.Furthermore,trading in our securities may be prohibited underthe HFCA Act if the SEC subsequently determines our audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable toinspect or investigate completely,and as a result,U.S.national securities exchanges,such as the
96、Nasdaq,may determine todelist our securities.Furthermore,on December 29,2022,the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Actwas enacted,which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuers securities from trading on any U.S.stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject t
97、o PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three,and thusreduced the time before our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted”No regulatory approval is required for Globavend Holdings to transfer cash to its subsidiaries:subject to duecorporate authorization in accord
98、ance with the memorandum and articles of association of Globavend Holdings andGlobavend Holdings being solvent and able to pay its debts,Globavend Holdings is permitted under the laws of theCayman Islands and its memorandum and articles of association(as amended from time to time)to provide funding
99、to oursubsidiaries incorporated in the BVI and Hong Kong through loans or capital contributions.Globavend Holdingssubsidiary formed under the laws of the BVI is permitted under the laws of the BVI to provide funding to our Hong Kongoperating subsidiary Globavend HK subject to certain restrictions la
100、id down in the BVI Business Companies Act(asamended)and memorandum and articles of association of the relevant Globavend Holdings subsidiary incorporated underthe laws of the BVI.As a holding company,Globavend Holdings may rely on dividends and other distributions on equitypaid by its subsidiaries f
101、or its cash and financing requirements.According to the BVI Business Companies Act(asamended),a BVI company may make dividends distribution to the extent that immediately after the distribution,the valueof the companys assets exceeds its liabilities and that such company is able to pay its debts as
102、they fall due.According tothe Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong,a Hong Kong company may only make a distribution out of profits available fordistribution.If any of Globavend Holdings subsidiaries incur debt on its own behalf in the future,the instrumentsgoverning such debt may restrict their ability
103、to pay dividends to Globavend Holdings.Additionally,as of the date of thisprospectus,there are no further BVI or Hong Kong statutory restrictions on the amount of funds which may be distributedby us by dividend.However,in the future,funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outs
104、ide of HongKong,due to interventions in,or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on,our ability or on our subsidiarys abilityby the PRC government to transfer cash.Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiary to make payments to us could havea material adverse effect on our ability to co
105、nduct our business and might materially decrease the value of our OrdinaryShares or cause them to be worthless.For a more detailed discussion of how the cash is transferred within our organization,see“Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiaries”on page 4 and“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Ordi

256、ore detailed discussion,see“Risk Factors Risks Related toDoing Business in Hong Kong”beginning on page 26 of this prospectus All of our operations are in Hong Kong,a special administrative region of the PRC.Due to the long-armprovisions under the current PRC laws and regulations,the Chinese governme
257、nt may exercise significantoversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations atany time,which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares.Any actions by the Chinese government to exert more overs
258、ight and control over offerings that are conductedoverseas and/or foreign investment in Hong Kong or China-based issuers could significantly limit orcompletely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of suchsecurities to significantly decline or b
259、e worthless.The Chinese government may intervene or imposerestrictions on our ability to move money out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends or toreinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong.Changes in the policies,regulations,rules,and the enforcementof laws of the Chinese governm

263、8 of this prospectus.Adverse regulatory developments in China may subject us to additional regulatory review,and additionaldisclosure requirements and regulatory scrutiny to be adopted by the SEC in response to risks related to recentregulatory developments in China may impose additional compliance
264、requirements for companies like us withHong Kong-based operations,all of which could increase our compliance costs and subject us to additionaldisclosure requirements.See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 29 of this prospectus.We may become subject to a variety of PRC laws and oth
265、er obligations regarding data security offerings thatare conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers.See more detailed discussion of thisrisk factor on page 29 of this prospectus.Although the audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by U.S.auditors who are current
266、ly inspectableby the PCAOB,there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be issued by auditors inspectable by thePCAOB,and,as such,in the future,investors may be deprived of the benefits of the PCAOB inspectionprogram.Furthermore,trading in our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited under the HFCA
267、 Act if the SECsubsequently determines our audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect orinvestigate completely,and as a result,U.S.national securities exchanges,such as the Nasdaq,may determineto delist our securities.Furthermore,on December 29,2022,the Accelerating Hold
268、ing Foreign CompaniesAccountable Act was enacted,which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuerssecurities from trading on any U.S.stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for twoconsecutive years instead of three,and thus,reduced the time before our
269、Ordinary Shares may be prohibitedfrom trading or delisted.See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 31 of this prospectus.The recent joint statement by the SEC,proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq,and an act passed by theU.S.Senate and the U.S.House of Representatives all call fo

296、0Table of Contents Recent Regulatory Developments in the PRC We are aware that,recently,the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulatebusiness operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activities in thes
297、ecurities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using VIE structures,adopting newmeasures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.Forexample,on July 6,2021,the General Office of the Communist Party of China
298、 Central Committee and the General Officeof the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote thehigh-quality development of the capital market,which,among other things,requires the relevant governmental authoritiesto strengthen cros
299、s-border oversight of law enforcement and judicial cooperation,to enhance supervision over China-basedcompanies listed overseas,and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securitieslaws.On July 10,2021,the CAC issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cyberse
300、curity Review for public comments(the“Revised Draft”),which required that,in addition to“operators of critical information infrastructure,”any“data processor”controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange shouldalso be subject to cy
301、bersecurity review,and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the nationalsecurity risks of the relevant activities.On December 24,2021,the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding theOverseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic En
302、terprises(Draft for Comments)(the“Draft AdministrativeProvisions”)and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises(Draft for Comments)(together with the Draft Administrative Provisions,the“Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing”).The Draft R
303、ules Regarding Overseas Listing lays out the filing regulation arrangement for both direct and indirect overseaslisting and clarifies the determination criteria for indirect overseas listing in overseas markets.Among other things,if adomestic enterprise intends to indirectly offer and list securitie
304、s in an overseas market,the record-filing obligation is with amajor operating entity incorporated in the PRC,and such filing obligation shall be completed within three working daysafter the overseas listing application is submitted.The required filing materials for an IPO and listing shall include,b
305、ut notbe limited to:regulatory opinions,record filing,approval,and other documents issued by competent regulatory authoritiesof relevant industries(if applicable),and security assessment opinions issued by relevant regulatory authorities(ifapplicable).On December 27,2021,the National Development and
306、 Reform Commission(“NDRC”)and the Ministry ofCommerce jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures for Entry of Foreign Investment(Negative List)(2021Version)(“Negative List”),which became effective and replaced the previous version.Pursuant to the Negative List,if aPRC company,which engages i
307、n any business where foreign investment is prohibited under the Negative List,or prohibitedbusinesses seeks an overseas offering or listing,it must obtain the approval from competent governmental authorities.Based on a set of Q&A published on the NDRCs official website,a NDRC official indicated that
308、 after a PRC companysubmits its application for overseas listing to the CSRC and where matters relating to prohibited businesses under theNegative List are implicated,the CSRC will consult the regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the relevantindustries and fields.11Table of Contents On Ja
309、nuary 4,2022,the CAC,the NDRC,and several other administrations jointly adopted and published the revisedCybersecurity Review Measures(“CRM”),which took effect on February 15,2022,and replaced the Revised Draft issuedon July 10,2021.Pursuant to the revised CRM,if a network platform operator holding
310、personal information of over onemillion users seeks for“foreign”listing,it must apply for the cybersecurity review.In addition,operators of criticalinformation infrastructure purchasing network products and services are also obligated to apply for the cybersecurityreview for such purchasing activiti
311、es.Although the CRM provides no further explanation on the extent of“networkplatform operator”and“foreign”listing,we do not believe we are obligated to apply for a cybersecurity review pursuant tothe revised CRM,considering that(i)we are not in possession of or otherwise holding personal information
312、 of over onemillion users,and it is also very unlikely that we will reach such threshold in the near future;and(ii)as of the date of thisprospectus,we have not received any notice or determination from applicable PRC governmental authorities identifying itas a critical information infrastructure ope
313、rator.On February 17,2023,the China Securities Regulatory Commission,or the CSRC,as approved by the State Council,released the Trial Measures for Administration of Overseas Securities Offerings and Listings by Domestic Companies andfive interpretive guidelines(collectively,the“CSRC Filing Rules”),wh
314、ich came into effect on March 31,2023.Under theCSRC Filing Rules,a filing-based regulatory system shall be applied to“indirect overseas offerings and listings”of PRCdomestic companies,which refers to securities offerings and listings in an overseas market made under the name of anoffshore entity but
315、 based on the underlying equity,assets,earnings or other similar rights of a domestic company thatoperates its main business domestically.The CSRC Filing Rules state that,any post-listing follow-on offering by an issuerin the same overseas market,including issuance of shares,convertible notes and ot
316、her similar securities,shall be subject tofiling requirement within three business days after the completion of the offering.We believe that we are not subject to theCSRC Filing Rules,because we are incorporated in the Cayman Islands and our subsidiaries are incorporated in HongKong,the British Virg
317、in Islands and operate in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China,andwe do not have any business operations or maintain any office or personnel in mainland China.However,as the CSRCFiling Rules and the supporting guidelines are newly published,there exists uncertainty wit
318、h respect to the implementationand interpretation of the principle of“substance over form.”If our offering and listing is later deemed as“indirect overseasoffering and listing by companies in mainland China”under the CSRC Filing Rules,we may need to complete the filingprocedures for our offering and
319、 listing.If we are subject to the filing requirements,we cannot assure you that we will beable to complete such filings in a timely manner or even at all.Since these statements and regulatory actions are new,it ishighly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies wi
320、ll respond or what existing or newlaws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,if any.It is also highlyuncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on Globavend Holdings dailybusiness operations,its abi
321、lity to accept foreign investments,and the listing of our Ordinary Shares on a U.S.or otherforeign exchange.There remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of relevant PRCcybersecurity laws and regulations.If the CSRC Filing Rules become applicable to Globavend HK or if t
322、he Measures forCybersecurity Review(2021)or the PRC Personal Information Protection Law becomes applicable to Globavend HK,thebusiness operation of Globavend HK and the listing of our Ordinary Shares in the United States could be subject to theCACs cybersecurity review or CSRC Overseas Issuance and
323、Listing review in the future.If the applicable laws,regulations,or interpretations change and Globavend HK becomes subject to the CAC or CSRC review,we cannot assureyou that Globavend HK will be able to comply with the regulatory requirements in all respects,and our current practice ofcollecting and
324、 processing personal information may be ordered to be rectified or terminated by regulatory authorities.IfGlobavend HK fails to receive or maintain such permissions or if the required approvals are denied,Globavend HK maybecome subject to fines and other penalties that may have a material adverse ef
325、fect on our business,operations,andfinancial condition and may hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the valueof our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.12Table of Contents Permission Required from Hong Kong and PRC Authorities A
326、s of the date of this prospectus,(i)Globavend HK has received all requisite permissions and approvals for theoperation of our business in Hong Kong namely the business registration certificate issued by the Hong Kong BusinessRegistration Office,and no such permissions and approvals have been denied,
327、(ii)Globavend HK is not required to obtainany permission or approval from Hong Kong authorities to issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors,and(iii)we arealso not required to obtain permissions or approvals from any PRC authorities before listing in the United States and toissue our Ordinary S
328、hares to foreign investors or operate our business as currently conducted,including the CSRC,theCAC,or any other governmental agency that is required to approve our operations,because(i)the CSRC currently has notissued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours unde
329、r this prospectus are subject to thisregulation;and(ii)Globavend HK was established and operate in Hong Kong and is not included in the categories ofindustries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC.Hong Kong is a special administrative region o
330、f the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong arereflected in the Basic Law,which serves as Hong Kongs constitution.The Basic Law provides Hong Kong with a highdegree of autonomy and executive,legislative and independent judicial powers,including that of final adjudication underthe
331、 principle of“one country,two systems”and a distinct set of laws and regulations.The PRC laws and regulations do notcurrently have any material impact on our business,financial condition or results of operations.However,there is noassurance that there will not be any changes in the economic,politica
332、l and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future.Inthe event that(i)the PRC government expanded the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securitiesofferings are subject to review by the CSRC or the CAC and that we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals,(ii)we inadvert
333、ently concluded that relevant permissions or approvals were not required or that we did not receive ormaintain relevant permissions or approvals required,or(iii)applicable laws,regulations,or interpretations change andrequire us to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future,we may face regulatory risks as those operated in mainlandChina,including the ability to offer securities to investor
