17、 Underwriters do not exercise the Over-Allotment Option.Prior to this offering,there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares.The offering price of the Shares in this offering is expected to be between$4.00 and$5.00 per share.We intend to apply to list the Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Marke

25、ntity(“VIE”)structurewith any entity in mainland China,but because all of our operations are conducted inHongKong through our wholly-owned Operating Subsidiary,and HongKong is a SpecialAdministrative Region of China.Should the PRC government choose to exercisesignificant oversight and discretion ove

100、of assets among UPT and itssubsidiaries.We do not have any current intentions to distribute further earnings.If we decide to pay dividends on any of the Shares in the future,as a holdingcompany,we will be dependent on receipt of funds from the Operating Subsidiary byway of dividend payments.See“Divi

286、one country,two systems.”However,there is no assurance that there will not be any changes inthe economic,political and legal environment in HongKong in the future.If thereis a significant change to current political arrangements between mainland Chinaand HongKong,companies operating in HongKong may

287、face similar regulatory risksas those operated in the PRC,including their ability to offer securities toinvestors,list their securities on a U.S.or other foreign exchange,and conducttheir business or accept foreign investment.In light of PRC governments recentexpansion of authority in HongKong,there

288、 are risks and uncertainties which wecannot foresee for the time being,and rules,regulations and the enforcement oflaws in the PRC can change quickly with little or no advance notice.The PRCgovernment may intervene or influence the current and future operations inHong Kong at any time or may exert m

292、 toinvestors,which would materially affect the interests of the investors and causesignificant the value of our Ordinary Shares significantly decline or be worthless.We are aware that,recently,the PRC government initiated a series ofregulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations i

293、n certain areasin China with little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activitiesin the securities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listedoverseas using VIE structure,adopting new measures to extend the scope ofcybersecurity reviews,and expanding the efforts in

294、anti-monopoly enforcement.Forexample,on July 6,2021,the General Office of the Communist Party of ChinaCentral Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued adocument to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promotethe high-quality development of the cap

296、 of the PRC securities laws.Also,on July10,2021,the CAC issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for publiccomments(the“Revised Draft”),which required that,in addition to“operators ofcritical information infrastructure,”any“data processor”controlling personalinformation of no

297、less than one million users that seeks to list in a foreign stockexchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review,and it further elaboratedthe factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of therelevant activities.On December24,2021,the CSRC released the Administrative

303、ssion(“NDRC”)and the Ministry of Commerce jointlyissued the Special Administrative Measures for Entry of Foreign Investment(Negative List)(2021 Version)(“Negative List”),which became effective andreplaced the previous version.Pursuant to the Negative List,if a PRC company,which engages in any busine

304、ss where foreign investment is prohibited under theNegative List,or prohibited businesses seeks an overseas offering or listing,itmust obtain the approval from competent governmental authorities.Based on a set ofQ&A published on the NDRCs official website,an NDRC official indicated that aftera PRC c

305、ompany submits its application for overseas listing to the CSRC and wherematters relating to prohibited businesses under the Negative List are implicated,the CSRC will consult the regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over therelevant industries and fields.On January 4,2022,the CAC,the NDRC,and

306、 several other administrationsjointly adopted and published the revised Cybersecurity Review Measures(“CRM”),which took effect on February15,2022,and replaced the Revised Draft issued onJuly10,2021.Pursuant to the revised CRM,if a network platform operator holdingpersonal information of over one mil

307、lion users seeks for“foreign”listing,itmust apply for the cybersecurity review.In addition,operators of criticalinformation infrastructure purchasing network products and services are alsoobligated to apply for the cybersecurity review for such purchasing activities.Although the CRM provides no furt

308、her explanation on the extent of“network platformoperator”and“foreign”listing,we do not believe we are obligated to apply fora cybersecurity review pursuant to the revised CRM,considering that(i)we are notin possession of or otherwise holding personal information of over one millionusers,and it is a

309、lso very unlikely that we will reach such threshold in the nearfuture;and(ii)as of the date of this prospectus,we have not received any noticeor determination from applicable PRC governmental authorities identifying it as acritical information infrastructure operator.On February17,2023,the China Sec

310、urities Regulatory Commission,or the CSRC,as approved by the State Council,released the CSRC Filing Rules,which came intoeffect on March31,2023.Under the CSRC Filing Rules,a filing based regulatorysystem shall be applied to“indirect overseas offerings and listings”of PRCdomestic companies,which refe

311、rs to securities offerings and listings in anoverseas market made under the name of an offshore entity but based on theunderlying equity,assets,earnings or other similar rights of a domestic companythat operates its main business domestically.The CSRC Filing Rules state that,anypost-listing follow-o

312、n offering by an issuer in the same overseas market,includingissuance of shares,convertible notes and other similar securities,shall besubject to filing requirement within threebusinessdays after the completion ofthe offering.We believe that we are not subject to the CSRC Filing Rules,becausewe are

313、incorporated in the Cayman Islands and our subsidiaries are incorporated inHong Kong,the British Virgin Islands and operate in Hong Kong without anysubsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China,and we do not have any businessoperations or maintain any office or personnel in mainland China.However,as

314、 theCSRC Filing Rules and the supporting guidelines are newly published,there existsuncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of the principleof“substance over form.”If our offering and listing is later deemed as“indirect overseas offering and listing by companies in mainland

315、 China”under theCSRC Filing Rules,we may need to complete the filing procedures for our offeringand listing.If we are subject to the filing requirements,we cannot assure youthat we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner or even at all.Since these statements and regulatory actions a
