205、rmance.Our actual resultsmay differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements due to certain factors,including the risks and uncertainties faced byus,as described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.Risks Related to Our Business and Industry We are dependent on our bra
206、nds,and failure to successfully promote our brands may materially and adversely affect our business and results ofoperations.Brand image is a key factor in consumer purchasing decisions for fashion apparel.We are committed to building our brands through the introductionof stylish and quality designs
207、 as well as through our promotional activities.We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of our fashionapparel in Malaysia and Singapore,and our success depends on market perception and acceptance of our brands,the culture,lifestyle and imagesassociated with the brand.If we are unable t
208、o successfully promote and maintain our brands,our business and the results of operations may bematerially and adversely affected.Any negative publicity or disputes in Malaysia or Singapore regarding our brands,our products,our Company,ourmanagement,our sponsored organizations or individuals,or our
209、distributors or sub-distributors could materially and adversely affect public perceptionof our brands,which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.We are dependent on third-party manufacturers for the production of apparel products,so disruption to our r
210、elationship with them or theirmanufacturing operations could adversely affect our apparel supply chain management services.All of our apparel products were produced by third-party manufacturers located in the PRC and Bangladesh.As such,we rely heavily on the abilityand efficiency of third-party manu
211、facturers to produce apparel products for us and therefore play a vital role in our business operations.We do notenter into any long-term contracts with our third-party manufacturers and instead we engage them on a case-by-case basis depending on our needs andrequirements.There is no assurance that
212、all or any of our third-party manufacturers will continue to produce apparel products for us of our desiredquality and quantity,in a timely manner and on terms commercially acceptable to us.Any disruption to our third-party manufacturers production mayinevitably have an impact on their ability to pr
213、oduce the apparels products in line with our requirements.If any of our third-party manufacturersterminates its business relationship with us or if there were changes to the current business arrangements,we may be unable to source stable andsuitable products from comparable alternative third-party m
214、anufacturers in a timely manner or on terms commercially acceptable to us.Any of theabove may result in production delay which would adversely affect our ability to fulfil customers demand and in turn adversely affect our sales andprofitability.Further,as we have not entered into any long-term contr
215、act with our third-party manufacturers,the terms of services provided by them may also besusceptible to fluctuations with regard to pricing,timing and quality.Any increase in these factors may be passed on to us but we might not be able topass on all or any of the increase in costs to our customers,
216、which may have material adverse effect on our financial performance.Any significant damage to our primary warehousing facility could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.We have only one primary warehousing facility located in Negeri Sembilan,Malaysia,in which we store substan
217、tially all products procured from oursuppliers.Power failures or disruptions,the breakdown,failure or substandard performance of equipment,and the destruction of buildings and otherfacilities due to fire or natural disasters such as flood,droughts or earthquakes would severely affect our ability to
218、continue our operations.In the eventof such disruptions,we may not be able to find suitable alternatives on a timely basis and at reasonable cost,which could have a material adverseeffect on our business and results of operations.We rely on our ability to design in response to changes in consumers p
219、reference in a timely manner.We believe that our success is,to a significant extent,attributable to the ability of our Groups design and product development teams to understandthe clothing apparel markets and to design desirable apparel products which are responsive and that keeps abreast with the c
220、hanges in consumerspreference.Due to the highly subjective nature of the apparels market and the rapid change in trends for apparel,we may be unable to capture orpredict the future fashion or color trend and continue to develop appealing designs for our customers.If we fail to(i)capture,predict or r
221、espond timelyto our customers preference;or(ii)introduce appealing and commercially viable apparel designs in a timely manner,our business and results ofoperations may be adversely affected.142025/5/22 09:37sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archive
222、s/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htm22/302 We may be unable to successfully implement our business objectives and our expansion plans may not be successful.Our business objectives are accomplished by implementing various future business plans.Our Directors believe that our future suc
223、cess depends on ourability to continually expand our base of manufacturers and broaden our product offerings.However,such expansion plan is formulated based onassumptions as to the occurrence of certain future events,which may or may not materialize,and thus it is subject to a series of uncertaintie
224、s and risks,including but not limited to:lack of sufficient capital financing and potential ongoing financial obligations;failure to achieve the intended level of profitability;delays or difficulties in securing suitable new third-party manufacturers;and diversion of resources and management attenti
225、on.As such,there is no assurance that our expansion plan will materialize within the planned time frame,or at all,or that our business objectives will befully or partially accomplished.In the event that we fail to accomplish our expansion plan or to do so in a timely manner,we may not be able toachi
226、eve our planned future business growth and our operating results may be adversely affected.We expect to incur significant costs in connection with the expansion of our business,in particular,for our online stores.If we are unable to generatesufficient revenue from our business or our financial needs
227、 are larger than expected,we may need to raise funds from debt or equity financing means.Alternatively,we may need to make certain modifications to our current intended use of proceeds,which could have an adverse effect on ouroperations and future profitability.We also face the risk that our existin
228、g management staff,design and development capabilities,and internal control systems and other systems andprocedures may be inadequate to support our expansion plan.If we fail to continue to improve our infrastructure,management or operational systemsrequired to support our expansion plan,we may be u
229、nable to achieve our expansion objectives and our business operations may be seriously harmed.As we lease most of the properties for our retail outlets,we are exposed to risks relating to the commercial real estate rental market in Malaysiaand Singapore.We lease most of the properties for our retail
230、 outlets.Accordingly,rental costs account for a significant portion of our operating expenses.Lease agreements for our retail outlets typically have an initial term ranging from two to three years.Some of our lease agreements provide that therent will increase within the initial term or after the in
231、itial term at a fixed rate or at the then prevailing market rate.If we fail to renew any of ourexisting leases,we will have to identify alternative premises.Our business operations may be interrupted as a result of the relocation,and we mayincur additional costs and expenses in connection with the r
232、estoration and/or relocation.Further,if a lease agreement is renewed at a rate substantially higher than the existing rate or any existing favorable terms granted by the landlord,ifany,is not extended,we must evaluate whether renewal on such modified terms is in our interest.If we are unable to rene
233、w leases for our retail outlets,we will have to close or relocate the relevant retail outlet,which would lead to loss of sales during the period of closure,write-off of fixed assets andcould subject us to installation and renovation costs and other costs and risks.In addition,the revenue and any pro
234、fit generated at a relocated retailoutlet may be less than the revenue and profit previously generated at the closed retail outlet.Therefore,any inability to renew existing leases oncommercially acceptable terms could adversely affect our business,results of operations and financial condition.We als
235、o compete with other retailersfor prime locations in a highly competitive market for premises.There is no assurance that we will be able to enter into new lease agreements forattractive locations or renew existing lease agreements on commercially reasonable terms,if at all.Therefore,any inability to
236、 obtain leases fordesirable retail outlets on commercially reasonable terms could adversely affect our business,results of operations and financial conditions.Our success depends upon our key management personnel.Our Directors believe that our success depends,to a significant extent,on the capabilit
237、y,expertise and continued services of key members of ourmanagement team,including our executive Directors and other members of our management who have operational experience in our business.Inparticular,we rely on Mr.CC Pwa,one of our founders,our Chief Executive Officer,Chairman and Executive Direc
238、tor,who has over 22 years ofexperience in the clothing apparel industry.If we were to lose the services of Mr.CC Pwa or any key member of our management team without asuitable replacement or were unable to attract new qualified members with suitable experience to join our management team as we conti
239、nue to grow,the implementation of our business strategies may be affected,which could materially and adversely affect our business,results of operations andprospects.152025/5/22 09:37sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000
240、164117225011894/formf-1a.htm23/302 We also rely on our employees,including experienced design and product development,sales and procurement personnel,for our daily operations andbusiness expansion.We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to attract and retain sufficiently skilled and ex
241、perienced employees in thefuture.If we fail to recruit,retain,or train skilled employees,our business,results of operations and prospects could be materially and adverselyaffected.If we are unable to maintain and protect our intellectual property,or if third parties assert that we infringe on their
242、intellectual property rights,ourbusiness could suffer.Our business depends,in part,on our ability to identify and protect proprietary information and other intellectual property such as our product designs.We rely on trade secrets,confidentiality policies,non-disclosure and other contractual arrange
243、ments and copyright and trademark laws to protect ourintellectual property rights.However,we may not adequately protect these rights,and their disclosure to,or use by,third parties may harm ourcompetitive position.Our inability to detect unauthorized use of,or to take appropriate or timely steps to
244、enforce,our intellectual property rights mayharm our business.Also,third parties may claim that our business operations infringe on their intellectual property rights.These claims may harm ourreputation,be a financial burden to defend,distract the attention of our management and prevent us from offe
245、ring some services.Intellectual propertyis increasingly stored or carried on mobile devices,such as laptop computers,which increases the risk of inadvertent disclosure if the mobile devicesare lost or stolen,and the information has not been adequately safeguarded or encrypted.This also makes it easi
246、er for someone with access to oursystems,or someone who gains unauthorized access,to steal information and use it to our disadvantage.Our business and operations may be materially and adversely affected in the event of a re-occurrence or a prolonged global pandemic outbreak ofCOVID-19.The global pan
247、demic outbreak of COVID-19 announced by the World Health Organization in early 2020 has disrupted our operations,and theoperations of our customers,suppliers and/or subcontractors.If the development of the COVID-19 outbreak becomes more severe or if our customers,suppliers,and sub-contractors are fo
248、rced to close down their businesses after prolonged disruptions to their operations,we may experience a delay orshortage of raw materials,supplies and/or services by our suppliers.In such event,our operations may be severely disrupted,which may have amaterial and adverse effect on our business,finan
249、cial condition,and results of operations.Our revenue and profitability may also be materiallyaffected if the COVID-19 outbreak continues to materially affect the overall economic and market conditions in Malaysia and Singapore and theeconomic slowdown and/or negative business sentiment could potenti
250、ally have an adverse impact on our business and operations.We are uncertain asto when the outbreak of COVID-19 will be contained,and we cannot predict if the impact of the outbreak will be short-lived or long-lasting.If theoutbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively controlled within a short period of t
251、ime,our business,financial condition,results of operations and prospectsmay be materially and adversely affected.We are exposed to risks arising from fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates.Our business is exposed to certain foreign currency exchange risks as our reporting currency is the Ma
252、laysian Ringgit and Singapore dollar and oursales and procurement were denominated in Malaysian Ringgit and United States dollar.To the extent that our Groups sales and purchases andoperating costs are not denominated in the same currency and to the extent that there are timing differences between i
253、nvoicing and payment from oursuppliers,we may be exposed to foreign currency exchange gains or losses arising from transactions in currencies other than our reporting currency.We are affected by interest rate increases with respect to our banking facilities.Generally,we fund our operations via our i
254、nternal resources and short and long-term financing from banks.Any disruption,uncertainty and volatilityin the global credit markets may limit our ability to obtain the required working capital and financing for our business at reasonable terms and financecosts.If all or a substantial portion of our
255、 credit facilities are withdrawn and we are unable to secure alternative funding on acceptable commercialterms,our operations and financial position will be adversely affected.The interest rates for most of our credit facilities are subject to review fromtime to time by the relevant financial instit
256、utions.Given that we rely on these credit facilities to finance our operations and that interest expensesrepresent a significant percentage of our expenses,any increase in the interest rates of the credit facilities extended to us may have a material adverseimpact on our profitability.We currently h
257、ave nine bank facilities of which seven are taken out by Hi Style(M)of in aggregate approximately RM20,000,000 with maturity datesof between 2025 and 2040 and two are taken out by Sub Crew in the aggregate amount of approximately RM3,000,000 with maturity dates between2025 and 2027.In May 2023,banks
258、 in Malaysia revised their Standardized Base Rate and Base Lending Rate upward by 0%to 3.00%resulting in rateincreases for certain of our bank facilities.Three of the facilities taken out by Hi Style(M)are at a fixed interest rate and were not affected by the rateincrease.As a result of the rate hik
259、e,borrowing costs for the Group increased by approximately RM4,400 per month.Despite the effect of the rateincrease on our Group not being significant,if rates continue to rise and we are unable to pass this increased cost to our customers,our financialperformance may be materially and adversely aff
260、ected.Information technology system failures or breaches of our network security could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our business.Our Group has installed a point-of-sale software system(“POS System”)at each of our retail outlets and central office.We will rely on the POSSystem to mon
261、itor the daily operations of our retail outlets and to collect accurate up-to-date financial and operating data for business analysis.Anydamage or failure of our system including hardware and software failures,and computer viruses that causes an interruption to our operations couldhave a material ad
262、verse effect on our business and results of operations.162025/5/22 09:37sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htm24/302 Our business and reputation may be affected by product liability claims,liti
263、gation,complaints or adverse publicity.We are exposed to potential product liability claims in the event that there is any damage caused by defective products,which could also adverselyaffect our reputation and business relationships.As Malaysia and Singapore are our major markets accounting for all
264、 of our sales for the six monthsended September 30,2024 and for the years ended March 31,2024,2023 and 2022,we are particularly exposed to product liability claims arising fromthese countries made on a contractual or tortious basis.Should there be a material increase in the number of product liabili
265、ty claims,we may incursignificant time and legal costs regardless of the outcome of any claim of alleged defect and our business,financial condition and results of operationscould be materially and adversely affected.Our business operations may be subject to seasonality.Our results from operations a
266、re affected by seasonal fluctuations in demand for our products.We usually experience higher sales volume in the timeleading to Christmas,Deepavali,Muslim Ramadan festivals and Chinese New Year holidays,as well as around the few major online shoppingholidays in the PRC.Moreover,sales of certain prod
267、ucts are subject to seasonality by nature.For example,sales of jackets are generally higher inmonsoon seasons,and our fashion collection before the Chinese New Year and Christmas would be designed with consideration to themes or festival-related colors to boost sales volume.Accordingly,various aspec
268、ts of our operations,including sales,production capacity and utilization,workingcapital and operating cashflow,are exposed to the risks associated with seasonal fluctuations in demand for our products pattern,and our quarterly orhalf-year results may not reflect our full-year results.We may be unabl
269、e to accurately control our inventory.We monitor the inventory information of our sales and retail network by conducting inventory-taking periodically and reviewing sales reports tounderstand our general inventory levels.However,we may be unable to accurately track the inventory level of our sales a
270、nd retail or to identify anyexcessive inventory build-up at various levels of our sales and retail network.In addition,we may be unable to sell adequate amounts of ourinventories in a given period,which may result in a build-up of inventory.We face higher risks of excessive or obsolescent inventorie
271、s when welaunch new products as the market reception to the products is uncertain.Significant net current liabilities position raise concerns about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.During the periods ended September 30,2023 and 2024,the Group generated losses amounting to approxim
272、ately RM0.78 million(approximatelyUS$0.17 million)and RM2.75 million(approximately US$0.66 million),respectively.In addition,the Groups current liabilities exceeded its currentassets by approximately RM16.27 million(approximately US$3.44 million)and RM17.62 million(approximately US$4.25 million)for
273、theyear/period ended March 31,2024 and September 30,2024,respectively.These circumstances raise substantial doubt regarding the Group ability tocontinue as going concern.Managements plan to address this going concern it to obtain financing in the form issuances of rights,ordinary shares,or loan to r
274、aise cash andworking capital for the Group.Management may also contribute their own time at less than market rates for the services.The Group also endeavors tolist its ordinary shares on national stock exchange in the United States and concurrently sell ordinary shares,which management believes will
275、 provideadequate financial resources for the management to continue to expand their operations.Management may not be successful in raising additional funds via the means described above.These consolidated financial statements have beenprepared on a going concern basis,and not a liquidation basis;acc
276、ordingly,the accounts may be presented differently if a going concern basis was notemployed.Risks Related to Our Securities and This Offering An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be established or,if established,may not continue and the trading price for ourOrdinary Shares may fl
277、uctuate significantly.We cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Ordinary Shares will be established.If an active public market for our Ordinary Shares doesnot occur following the completion of this offering,the market price and liquidity of our shares may be materially and adversely a
278、ffected.The publicoffering price for our shares in this offering was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriter based upon several factors,and we canprovide no assurance that the trading price of our shares after this offering will not decline below the public offering price.As a resul
279、t,investors in ourshares may experience a significant decrease in the value of their shares.We may not maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market which could limit investors ability to make transactions inour Ordinary Shares and subject us to additional trading restrict
280、ions.We intend to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market concurrently with this offering.In order to continue listing our shares on theNasdaq Capital Market,we must maintain certain financial and share price levels and we may be unable to meet these requirements in the future.Wecannot
281、 assure you that our shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq in the future.172025/5/22 09:37sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htm25/302 If the Nasdaq delists our Ordinary Shares and we
282、 are unable to list our shares on another national securities exchange,we expect our shares could bequoted on an over-the-counter market in the United States.If this were to occur,we could face significant material adverse consequences,including:a limited availability of market quotations for our Or
283、dinary Shares;reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;a determination that our Ordinary Shares are“penny stock,”which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringentrules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordin
284、ary Shares;a limited amount of news and analyst coverage;and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.As long as our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market,U.S.federal law prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating their s
285、ale.However,the law does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud,and,if there is a finding of fraudulent activity,then thestates can regulate or bar their sale.Further,if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market,we would be subject to regulations in ea
286、ch statein which we offer our shares.The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile,which could result in substantial losses to investors.The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control.This may happen because of thebroa
287、d market and industry factors,like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations locatedmainly in Malaysia with operations also in Singapore that have listed their securities in the United States.In addition to market and industry factors,the price
288、and trading volume for our shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations,including the following:fluctuations in our revenues,earnings and cash flow;changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;additions or departures of key personnel;release of lock-up or other t
289、ransfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities;and potential litigation or regulatory investigations Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade.In the past,shareholders o
290、f public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instabilityin the market price of their securities.If we were involved in a class action suit,it could divert a significant amount of our managements attention andother resources from our
291、 business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit,which could harm our results ofoperations.Any such class action suit,whether or not successful,could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future.Inaddition,if a claim is successfu
292、lly made against us,we may be required to pay significant damages,which could have a material adverse effect on ourfinancial condition and results of operations.We may experience extreme stock price volatility,including any stock-run up,unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance,finan
293、cialcondition or prospects,making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.In addition to the risks addressed above,our Ordinary Shares may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlyingperformance of our busin
294、ess.In particular,our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility,low volumes of trades and largespreads in bid and ask prices,given that we will have relatively small public floats after this offering.Such volatility,including any stock-run up,maybe unrelated to our act
295、ual or expected operating performance,financial condition or prospects.Holders of our Ordinary Shares may also be unable to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volumetrading.Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions
296、 may also adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.As a result of this volatility,investors may experience losses on their investment in our Ordinary Shares.Furthermore,the potential extreme volatilitymay confuse the public investors of the value of our stock,distort the market perce
297、ption of our stock price and our companys financial performanceand public image,negatively affect the long-term liquidity of our Ordinary Shares,regardless of our actual or expected operating performance.If weencounter such volatility,including any rapid stock price increases and declines seemingly
298、unrelated to our actual or expected operating performanceand financial condition or prospects,it will likely make it difficult and confusing for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of ourOrdinary Shares and understand the value thereof.182025/5/22 09:37sec.gov/Archives/edgar/d
299、ata/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1982661/000164117225011894/formf-1a.htm26/302 If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business,or if they adversely change their recommendationsregarding our Ordinary Shares,the
300、market price for our Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.The trading market for our shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business.If one ormore analysts downgrade our shares,the market price for our shares would likely d
301、ecline.If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail toregularly publish reports on us,we could lose visibility in the financial markets,which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume of ourshares to decline.Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable futu
302、re,you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for a return onyour investment.We currently intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business.As a result,we do not expect to pay any cash dividends
303、in the foreseeable future.Therefore,you should not rely on an investment in our shares as asource for any future dividend income.Our board of Directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends,subject to certainrequirements of Malaysia,Singapore,Cayman Islands and BVI laws,as th
304、e case may be.Even if our board of Directors decides to declare and paydividends,the timing,amount and form of future dividends,if any,will depend on,among other things,our future results of operations and cash flow,our capital requirements and surplus,the amount of distributions,if any,received by
305、us from our subsidiary,our financial condition,contractualrestrictions and other factors as determined by our board of Directors.Accordingly,the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likelydepend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares.There is no guarantee
306、 that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in valueafter this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased our shares.You may not realize a return on your investment in our shares and youmay even lose your entire investment.The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our
307、 Ordinary Shares could adversely affect their market price.Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after the completion of this offering and from the sale of shares held by theResale Shareholders through the Resale Prospectus,or the perception that these sales could
308、occur could adversely affect the market price of our sharesand could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future.Prior to the sale of our shares in this offering,we have10,100,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding.The shares sold in this offering will be freely tr
309、adable without restriction or further registration under theSecurities Act,and shares held by the Resale Shareholders may also be sold in the public market subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701under the Securities Act and the Resale Shareholders shares are not subject to lock-up agree
310、ments.There will be 12,350,000 Ordinary Sharesoutstanding immediately after this offering.In connection with this offering,our directors and officers named in the section“Management,”haveagreed not to sell any shares until 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent
311、of the representative of the underwriters,subject to certain exceptions,unless the underwriters release these securities from these restrictions.Because the securities held by our ResaleShareholders are not subject to similar lock-up restrictions,the Resale Shareholders may freely sell their shares
312、in the open market subject to therestrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act.The Resale Shareholders may be willing to accept a lower sales price than the priceinvestors pay in this offering,which could substantially lower the market price of our Ordinary Shares.We cannot predict
313、what effect,if any,marketsales of securities held by the Resale Shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the marketprice of our shares.See“Underwriting”and“Shares Eligible for Future Sale”for a more detailed description of the restric
314、tions on selling oursecurities after this offering.Short selling may drive down the market price of our Ordinary Shares.Short selling is the practice of selling shares that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buyingidentical shares back at a later
315、 date to return to the lender.The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the shares between the sale ofthe borrowed shares and the purchase of the replacement shares,as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale.As itis in the short seller
316、s interest for the price of the shares to decline,many short sellers publish,or arrange for the publication of,negative opinions andallegations regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselvesafter selling the sh
317、ares short.These short attacks have,in the past,led to the selling of shares in the market.If we were to become the subject of anyunfavorable publicity,whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue,we could have to expend a significant amount of resources toinvestigate such allegations an
318、d/or defend ourselves.While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks,we may be constrained inthe manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech,applicable state law or issues of commercialconfidentiality.192025/5/22 09:37sec.
