PROPOSAL NO. 1
SHARE CONSOLIDATION
To consider and approve a proposal to authorize
the Board of Directors to effect a consolidation of the Company’s authorized and issued shares, at a ratio of 10-for-1.
General
The Board of Directors believes that it is in
the best interest of the Company and the shareholders, and is hereby soliciting shareholder approval, to effect a share consolidation
of the Company’s authorized and issued shares, at a ratio of 10-for-1 (the “Share Consolidation”), on such date
as the Board of Directors shall determine (the “Effective Date”).
The Share Consolidation must be passed by ordinary
resolution which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so,
vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy or, in the case of corporations, by their duly authorized representative, at the
Meeting. If the Company’s shareholders approve this proposal, the Board of Directors will have authority to implement the Share
Consolidation at any time after the approval of the Share Consolidation, at a ratio of 10-for-1.
The Share Consolidation will be implemented simultaneously
for all authorized, issued, and outstanding shares. The Share Consolidation will affect all shareholders uniformly and will have no effect
on the proportionate holdings of any individual shareholder, with the exception of adjustments related to the treatment of fractional
shares (see below under the subheading “Fractional Shares”).
The Share Consolidation would reduce the number
of:
| (i) | authorized ordinary shares from 44,000,000 Class A ordinary
shares of par value USD0.001 each and 6,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of par value USD0.001 each to 4,400,000 Class A ordinary shares
of par value USD0.01 each and 600,000 Class B ordinary shares of par value USD0.01 each; |
| (ii) | issued and outstanding ordinary shares from 18,286,923 Class
A ordinary shares of par value USD0.001 each and 5,763,077 Class B ordinary shares of par value USD0.001 each to approximately 1,828,693
Class A ordinary shares of par value USD0.01 each and approximately 576,308 Class B ordinary shares of par value USD0.01 each. |
Purpose of the Share Consolidation
The Company’s Class A ordinary shares are
currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “CPOP.” Among other requirements, the listing maintenance standards established
by Nasdaq require the ordinary shares to have a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Marketplace
Rule 5450(a)(a) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”), if the closing bid price of the Class A ordinary shares is not
equal to or greater than $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the Company. Thereafter, if the
Class A ordinary shares do not close at a minimum bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive business days within 180 calendar days
of the deficiency notice, Nasdaq may determine to delist the Class A ordinary shares.
On November 21, 2022, the Company received a written
notification from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and the Company was provided
180 calendar days, or until May 16, 2023, to regain compliance.
The Company did not regain compliance with the
Minimum Bid Price Rule. However, on May 5, 2023, the Company applied to transfer its Class A ordinary shares to The Nasdaq Capital Market
, as allowed under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
On May 17, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that
its transfer from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market was approved, and that it was eligible for an additional 180 calendar
day period, or until November 13, 2023 (the “Extended Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
Effective at the opening of business on May 18, 2023, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital
Market.
To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price
Rule by November 13, 2023, the Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company to solicit the approval of
the shareholders to effect a share consolidation of the Company’s shares. The Board of Directors believes that without receiving
the shareholders’ approval and without the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares otherwise meeting the $1.00 minimum closing
bid price requirement, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will likely be delisted from Nasdaq.
In the event the Class A ordinary shares were
to be no longer eligible for continued listing on Nasdaq, the Company could be forced to seek to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or
in the “pink sheets.” These alternative markets are generally considered to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, Nasdaq,
and therefore less desirable. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes delisting of the Class A ordinary shares would likely have
a negative impact on the liquidity and market price of the Class A ordinary shares and may increase the spread between the “bid”
and “ask” prices quoted by market makers.
The Board of Directors has considered the potential
harm to the Company of a delisting from Nasdaq and believes that delisting could, among other things, adversely affect (i) the trading
price of the Class A ordinary shares and (ii) the liquidity and marketability of the Class A ordinary shares. This could reduce the ability
of holders of the Class A ordinary shares to purchase or sell Class A ordinary shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done
historically.
Delisting could also adversely affect the Company’s
relationships with customers, who may perceive the Company’s business less favorably, which would have a detrimental effect on the
Company’s relationships with these entities.
Furthermore, if the Class A ordinary shares were
to be no longer listed on Nasdaq, it may reduce the Company’s access to capital and cause the Company to have less flexibility in
responding to its capital requirements. Certain institutional investors may also be less interested or prohibited from investing in the
Class A ordinary shares, which may cause the market price of the Class A ordinary shares to decline.
Registration and Trading
of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares
The Share Consolidation will not affect the registration
of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares or the Company’s obligation to publicly file financial and other information with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). When the Share Consolidation is implemented, the Company’s
Class A ordinary shares will begin trading on a post-split basis on the Effective Date that the Company announces by press release. In
connection with the Share Consolidation, the CUSIP number of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (which is an identifier used
by participants in the securities industry to identify the Company’s Class A ordinary shares) will change.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued to any shareholders
in connection with the Share Consolidation. Any fractional shares resulting from the Share Consolidation shall be rounded up such that
each shareholder will be entitled to receive one ordinary share in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Share
Consolidation.
Authorized Shares
At the time the Share Consolidation is effective,
the Company’s authorized shares will be consolidated at the same ratio meaning there will be a reduction in the number of the authorized
shares in the Company by a factor of 10 (as set out above under the subheading “General”).
Street Name Holders of Class A ordinary shares
The Company intends for the Share Consolidation
to treat shareholders holding Class A ordinary shares in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as
shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Share Consolidation for their beneficial
holders. However, nominees may have different procedures. Accordingly, shareholders holding Class A ordinary shares in street name should
contact their nominees.
Share Certificates
Mandatory surrender of certificates is not required
by the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s transfer agent will adjust the record books of the Company to reflect the Share
Consolidation as of the Effective Date. New certificates will not be mailed to shareholders.
Resolution
The Board of Directors proposes to solicit shareholder
approval to effect a Share Consolidation as a matter of Cayman Islands law of the Company’s authorized and issued shares at a ratio
of 10-for-1. The resolutions be put to the shareholders to consider and to vote upon at the Meeting in relation to the Share Consolidation
are:
“IT
IS HEREBY RESOLVED, as ordinary resolutions, that:
| 1. | conditional upon the approval of the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, with effect as of the
date the Board of Directors of the Company may determine: |
| a. | the authorized, issued, and outstanding shares of the Company (collectively,
the “Shares”) be consolidated by consolidating each 10 Shares of the Company into 1 Share of the Company, with
such consolidated Shares having the same rights and being subject to the same restrictions (save as to nominal value) as the existing
Shares in the capital of the Company as set out in the amended and restated memorandum of association (the “Share Consolidation”);
and |
| b. | no fractional Shares be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation and,
in the event that a shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Share upon the Share Consolidation, the number of
Shares to be received by such shareholder be rounded up to the next highest whole number of Shares; and |
| 2. | any one director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized, for and on behalf of the
Company, to do all such other acts or things necessary or desirable to implement, carry out, and give effect to the Share Consolidation,
if and when deemed advisable by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. |
Vote Required to Approve Proposal No. 1
Proposal No. 1 will be approved only if it receives
the affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the shareholders present in person or represented

of the Share Consolidation, with such date of effectiveness to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The resolution

of association of the Company is:
