Interim Preservation Order
As previously disclosed, on
April 23, 2021, the arbitrator in the ongoing arbitration in Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Arbitration) granted Greater Sail Ltd. (GSL) an interim preservation order requiring, among other things, that the Company not
dissipate the funds held by Triumph Commitment (Hong Kong) Limited (Triumph), a subsidiary of the Company, in its Hong Kong Credit Suisse account. On April 29, 2021, GSL obtained an order before the High Court of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region, Court of First Instance (the Hong Kong Court) enforcing the arbitrators interim preservation order. Such interim preservation order related to the previously disclosed 2020 private placement conducted
by the prior management team of the Company.
On April 29, 2023, the arbitrator issued an order discharging the interim preservation order, effective
as of May 8, 2023. However, the Hong Kong Courts order remains in place.
GSLs Applications
As previously disclosed, on April 6, 2023, the arbitrator issued a partial award in the Hong Kong Arbitration, dismissing all of GSLs claims against
the Company. The arbitrator also accepted some of the Companys counterclaims. On April 20, 2023, GSL initiated proceedings before the Hong Kong Court to have the arbitrators partial award set aside.
Further, on April 20, 2023, GSL filed two additional applications before the Hong Kong Court. The first application requested that the Hong Kong Court
maintain its April 29, 2021 order enforcing the arbitrators interim preservation order. The second application requested that the Hong Kong Court grant a new freezing order preventing the Company from dissipating its assets, including
amounts held by Triumph in its Hong Kong Credit Suisse account, until GSLs aforementioned application to set aside the arbitrators award is determined.
The initial hearing regarding GSLs applications is scheduled for June 16, 2023.
