The Reporting Persons hold 1.28% of voting power of all the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, on the basis that the Reporting Persons hold 41,666,668 Class A Ordinary Shares and no Class B Ordinary Shares, and considering that holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote per share while holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to 50 votes per share.
The Reporting Persons acquired these interests with the intent to exercise control of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to continue actively participating in the Issuer's management and strategic direction, and may from time to time increase (through the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer) or decrease (through the sale of all or a portion of the Class A Shares) their investment in the Issuer, depending upon multiple factors, including the price and availability of the Issuer's securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, conditions in the industries and jurisdictions in which the Issuer and its subsidiaries operate, tax considerations and other factors.
The Reporting Persons acquired the Class A Shares, together with 20,833,334 Series A-1 Warrants and 20,833,334 Series A-2 Warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million, in connection with the consummation of a $100 million private placement of equity securities (the "PIPE Financing") of the Issuer announced on October 10, 2025, entered together with a $50 million three-year term loan (the "Facility" and together with the PIPE Financing, the "Financing Transactions"). In connection with the announcement of the Financing Transactions, the Issuer announced the intention to implement a Tether Gold ("XAUt") treasury strategy, whereby XAUt, a digital asset backed by physical gold, would serve as our primary treasury reserve asset.
The Reporting Persons intend to review the Reporting Persons' investments in the Issuer from time to time and, in the course of such review, the Reporting Persons may take any of the foregoing actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, or make other decisions or take other actions with respect to the Issuer. These decisions and actions may include communicating from time to time with the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board"), members of management of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties with respect to the evaluation or implementation of strategic alternatives relating to the Issuer, engaging legal, financial, regulatory, technical, industry and/or other advisors to assist in any review or in making recommendations with respect to such decisions or actions, and taking steps to implement alternative courses of action relating to the Issuer, including courses of action that may be recommended by such advisors. Such courses of action may involve, without limitation, the proposal of or support for extraordinary corporate transactions (including an acquisition, merger, reorganization or other similar transaction or liquidation) involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, including a public offer for all or part of the Issuer's securities, a business combination involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; changes in the present business, operations, strategy, future plans or prospects of the Issuer, financial or governance matters, changes to the Board (including board composition) or management of the Issuer, changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, dividend policy, business or corporate structure or governance documents of the Issuer, or any action similar to those enumerated above.
