Majority Controlling Stockholder Update
On May 27, 2024, Newegg Commerce, Inc.’s (the “Company”) majority controlling stockholder, Hangzhou Lianluo Interactive Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Lianluo”), announced that its board of directors convened and approved a proposed application to the Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court in China (the “Hangzhou Court”) for reorganization (the “Reorganization Proposal”). The Reorganization Proposal is subject to the approval of Hangzhou Lianluo’s stockholders and the Hangzhou Court. On the same date, Hangzhou Lianluo issued a press release announcing that its shareholder meeting to vote on the Reorganization Proposal is scheduled for June 12, 2024. On May 29, 2024, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued a letter to Hangzhou Lianluo requesting for detailed information and expressing its concerns regarding the Reorganization Proposal.
On May 29, 2024, Hangzhou Lianluo disclosed, among other things, the risk of being delisted from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange should its shares trade below RMB 1/share for 20 consecutive trading days. The closing price of Hangzhou Lianluo’s shares was RMB 0.96/share on May 29, 2024.
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, Hangzhou Lianluo (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Grid (Hong Kong) Technology Co., Limited), who beneficially owns more than 50% of the Company’s voting power, has the right to appoint four directors to the Company’s board of directors. In connection with Hangzhou Lianluo’s potential reorganization, the Hangzhou Court may appoint an administrator to oversee the reorganization proceedings for Hangzhou Lianluo, in which case, such administrator would have the power to appoint the four directors to the Company’s board of directors.
In addition, Hangzhou Lianluo’s shares of the Company’s stock could be sold during the proposed reorganization to help meet Hangzhou Lianluo’s liquidity needs. This could raise a number of risks for the Company as noted in its Form 20-F under the heading “A majority of Newegg’s capital shares are pledged as collateral to support delinquent indebtedness of our parent company and could be sold to satisfy that indebtedness or other delinquent indebtedness of our parent company.”
