1-for-400 Reverse Stock Split Proposed

According to an U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Thursday, the company's board of directors is proposing a consolidation of its Class A ordinary shares at a ratio of 1-for-400. The board noted that it intends to implement the share consolidation to increase the per-share trading price of the Class A Ordinary Shares and to support compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s minimum bid price requirement.

Massive Super-Voting Power Expansion

The proxy statement also highlights a major structural shift in corporate governance. The board intends to pass a special resolution increasing the voting rights of Class B ordinary shares from 35 votes per share to 100 votes per share.

Par Value Reduction and Capital Expansion

To facilitate these adjustments, Wellchange plans a capital reduction, slashing the par value of both Class A and Class B shares from $0.0025 to $0.000005. Immediately following this reduction, the company plans to increase its authorized share capital to $50,000, creating 9.900 billion Class A shares and 100 million Class B shares to provide flexibility to pursue future financings.

Shareholder Meetings Scheduled For July

CEO Shek Kin Pong confirmed that the company will distribute proxy materials on or about June 16. Wellchange will host the consecutive shareholder meetings on July 6, at its corporate offices in Kowloon, Hong Kong, to vote on these measures.
