Dear Stockholders:
We are furnishing the attached
Information Statement to the holders of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of QDM International
Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”). The purpose of
the Information Statement is to notify stockholders that, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and pursuant
to the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and
Huihe Zheng, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the holder of approximately 89.0% of our outstanding
voting power as of the record date (the “Voting Stockholder”), have by written consent approved and adopted an amendment
to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of our issued
and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio between one-for-twenty and one-for-thirty five (the “Reverse Split”), with such final
ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board (or its designee or designees) and with such Reverse Split to be effected
at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (provided that it is effected within one year of
the date on which the stockholders of the Corporation approve the Reverse Split).
This notice and Information
Statement shall constitute notice to you of the Voting Stockholder taking action by written consent under Section 607.0704 of the FBCA.
The accompanying Information Statement
is being provided to you for your information to comply with the requirements of Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (“Exchange Act”). This Information Statement constitutes notice to you of the aforementioned corporate action to
be taken without a meeting, by less than unanimous consent of our stockholders, pursuant to Section 607.0704 of the FBCA. You are urged
to read this Information Statement carefully in its entirety. However, no action is required on your part in connection with this document,
including with respect to the approval of the Reverse Split. No meeting of our stockholders will be held or proxies requested because

INFORMATION STATEMENT
We Are Not Asking You
for a Proxy and
You Are Requested Not
To Send Us a Proxy
INTRODUCTION
This Information Statement is
being furnished to the stockholders of QDM International Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)
in connection with the actions to be taken by us as a result of a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders pursuant
to the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), dated July 2, 2021.
This Information Statement and Notice of Stockholder Action by Written
Consent is being furnished by us to our stockholders of record as of July 2, 2021 (the “Record Date”), to inform our stockholders
that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and Huihe Zheng, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company and the holder of approximately 89.0% of our outstanding voting power as of the Record Date (the “Voting Stockholder”),
have taken and approved the following action (the “Corporate Action”) by written consent to approve an amendment (the “Amendment”)
to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split of our issued
and outstanding Common Stock at a ratio between one-for-twenty and one-for-thirty five (the “Reverse Split”), with such final
ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board (or its designee or designees) and with such Reverse Split to be effected at
such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (provided that it is effected within one year of the
date on which the stockholders of the Corporation approve the Reverse Split).
This Information Statement is being sent to you to notify you of the Corporate Action being taken by written consent
in lieu of a special meeting of our stockholders. On the Record Date, our Board and the Voting Stockholder, representing approximately
89.0% of the voting power of our Company as of the Record Date, adopted and approved the Reverse Split.
The ability to proceed without
a special meeting of the stockholders to approve, adopt and/or ratify the Corporate Action is authorized by Section 607.0704 of the FBCA
which provides that, unless otherwise provided in our Articles of Incorporation, action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting
of our stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a written consent that sets forth the action so taken is signed by stockholders
holding at least a majority of the voting power of the Company and delivered to the Company, except that if a different proportion of
voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required. Such consent shall have
the same force and effect as a majority vote of the stockholders and may be stated as such in any document. Our Articles of Incorporation
does not contain any provisions contrary to the provisions of Section 607.0704 of the FBCA. Thus, to eliminate the costs to us and management
time involved in holding a special meeting, and in order to take the Corporate Action as described in this Information Statement, one
of our stockholders representing in excess of 50% of the voting stock executed and delivered a written consent to us.
We are distributing this Information
Statement to our stockholders in full satisfaction of any notice requirements we may have under the FBCA and of Regulation 14C of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
This Information Statement is
dated as of and is first being sent or given to our stockholders of record on or about July 21, 2021.
On the Record Date, there were
6,238,553 shares of our Common Stock, 13,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 531,886 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to notice of and to vote on all matters presented to stockholders. The required vote for the
adoption of the Amendment and the approval of the Reverse Split was a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series
B Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. On the Record Date, the Voting Stockholder,
as the holder of record of approximately 89.0% of the outstanding shares of our voting stock, executed a written consent adopting, approving
and ratifying the Corporate Action. When actions are taken by written consent of less than all of the stockholders entitled to vote on
a matter, Section 607.0704 of the FBCA requires notice of the action to those stockholders who did not vote. This Information Statement
and the accompanying notice constitute notice to you of action by written consent as required by Section 607.0704 of the FBCA. Because
we have obtained sufficient stockholder approval of the Corporate Action, no other consents or votes will be solicited in connection with
this Information Statement.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A
PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
Under federal securities laws,
the Corporate Action may not be completed until 20 calendar days after the date of distribution of this Information Statement to our stockholders.
Therefore, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the written consent, the Corporate Action will not occur until that time has
elapsed.
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal
Under FBCA, the Company’s
stockholders of Common Stock are not entitled to appraisal right with respect to the Reverse Split.
Information Statement Costs
The entire
cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries
and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the voting stock held of record by them and will
reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.
Vote Required to Approve
the Corporate Action
As of the
Record Date, there were 6,238,553 shares of our Common Stock, 13,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 531,886 shares of Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to notice of and to vote on all matters presented to stockholders. The
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock entitled
to vote is required for approval of the Corporate Action.
Proposals by Security Holders
No stockholder has requested
that we include any additional proposals in this Information Statement.
THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPANY’S
VOTING STOCKHOLDER HAS VOTED TO APPROVE THE CORPORATE ACTION. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE VOTING STOCKHOLDER EXECUTING THE CONSENT
IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH MATTER UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND THE COMPANY’S CHARTER, SO NO
ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THIS ACTION.

of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. This information may involve known and unknown risks,

DESCRIPTION OF STOCKHOLDER
ACTION
Introduction
On July 2, 2021, our Board approved,
by unanimous written consent, to adopt the Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation effecting a Reverse Split of our issued and outstanding
Common Stock at a ratio between one-for-twenty and one-for-thirty five, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the
Board (or its designee or designees) and with such Reverse Split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the
Board in its sole discretion (provided that it is effected within one year of the date on which the stockholders of the Corporation approve
the Reverse Stock Split). On July 2, 2021, the Voting Stockholder, acting by written consent, approved the Amendment and the Reverse Split.
Effecting the Reverse Split requires
that our Articles of Incorporation be amended. The text that will be incorporated into our Articles of Incorporation upon effecting the
Reverse Split is attached as Annex A to this Information Statement. The Amendment, which will not be filed until at least
twenty days following the date of this Information Statement, will be effective upon the filing of such Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
in the form attached as Annex A with the Secretary of State of Florida with such filing to occur, if at all, at the sole
discretion of the Board.
There are two principal reasons
for the Reverse Split: (1) the Reverse Split should increase the stock price of our Common Stock, which is currently trading on the OTCQB
Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCQB”), to a level sufficiently above the minimum bid price requirement that
is required to list on either The Nasdaq Capital Market and the NYSE American LLC (the Nasdaq Capital Market and the NYSE American LLC
collectively referred to as the “Exchanges”) such that the Board, in its sole discretion, may apply for initial listing on
either of the Exchanges and (2) the Reverse Split may make it more feasible for the Company to raise third party equity funding which
we will need for business operations.
Based on discussions with our
advisors, we believe the Reverse Split would increase our chances of raising funding by: (i) increasing the price of our Common Stock
to levels that might attract a broader audience of potential investors (as of July 2, 2021, the closing price of our Common Stock was
$0.60) and (ii) lower the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, resulting in a capitalization for our Company that might attract
a broader audience of potential investors.
One principal effect of the Reverse
Split would be to decrease the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Except for de minimus adjustments that may result from
the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders since each
stockholder would hold the same percentage of our Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Split as such stockholder
held immediately prior to the Reverse Split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of Common Stock would not
be affected by the Reverse Split.
The table below sets forth the
number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before and after the Reverse Split based on 6,238,553 shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of the Record Date.

The Reverse Split will not have any impact on the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock provided for in our Articles of Incorporation which shall remain at 200,000,000 shares.
Although the Reverse Split will
not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares
authorized for issuance will decrease because we will not be reducing out authorized shares of Common Stock. The additional authorized
but unissued shares may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees,
officers or directors, effecting stock dividends, establishing strategic relationships with other companies and expanding our business
through the acquisition of other businesses or products. We do not currently have any plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of
the potentially newly available authorized shares that result from the Reverse Split for any purposes. The Reverse Split is not part of
a broader plan to take us private.
Reasons for the Reverse Split
The Board’s primary objectives
in effecting the Reverse Split, if necessary or if the Board otherwise desires, is to enable the Board to (i) raise the per share trading
price of our Common Stock, which is currently trading only on the OTCQB, to allow for a listing of our Common Stock on one of the Exchanges
and (ii) enable the Board to facilitate capital raising by the Company by attracting a broader audience of potential investors.
Our Board has determined that
by increasing the market price per share of our Common Stock, we would meet the stock price element of the initial listing requirements
of each of the Exchanges and our Common Stock could be initially listed on one of the Exchanges. Our Board concluded that the liquidity
and marketability of our Common Stock will be adversely affected if it is not quoted on a national securities exchange as investors can
find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our Common Stock. Our Board believes
that current and prospective investors may view an investment in our Common Stock more favorably if our Common Stock is quoted on one
of the Exchanges.
Our Board also believes that the
Reverse Split and any resulting increase in the per share price of our Common Stock should enhance the acceptability and marketability
of our Common Stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from
holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our Common Stock. Additionally, analysts
at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks.
Brokerage houses frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks.
Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions
on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value,
which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our Common Stock.
While we believe that we will
likely implement the Reverse Split in connection with a contemplated uplisting onto an Exchange and subsequent financing activities, we
cannot assure you that the Board will ultimately determine to effect the Reverse Split or if effected, at what ratio it will be effected
or that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired effects described above. More specifically, we cannot assure you that after the
Reverse Split the market price of our Common Stock will increase proportionately to reflect the ratio for the Reverse Split, that the
market price of our Common Stock will not decrease to its pre-split level, or that our market capitalization will be equal to the market
capitalization before the Reverse Split.
Potential Disadvantages of the Reverse Split
As noted above, the principal
purpose of the Reverse Split would be to help increase the per share market price of our Common Stock by up to a factor of 20-35. We cannot
assure you, however, that the Reverse Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time. While we expect that the
reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will increase the market price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you
that the Reverse Split will increase the market price of our Common Stock by an equivalent multiple, or result in any permanent increase
in the market price of our Common Stock. The price of our Common Stock is dependent upon many factors, including our business and financial
performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success. If the per share market price does not increase proportionately
as a result of the Reverse Split, then the value of our Company as measured by our stock capitalization will be reduced, perhaps significantly.
The number of shares held by each
individual stockholder would be reduced if the Reverse Split is implemented. This will increase the number of stockholders who hold less
than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. This has two disadvantages. First, the OTCQB and each of the Exchanges requires that we
have a certain number of round lot stockholders to be initially listed (the OTCQB requires that we have 50 round lot stockholders, the
Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that we have 300 round lot stockholders and the NYSE MKT LLC requires that we have 400 round lot stockholders).
Second, the transaction costs to stockholders selling “odd lots” are typically higher on a per share basis. Consequently,
the Reverse Split could increase the transaction costs to existing stockholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their
position.
Although our Board believes that
the decrease in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Split and the anticipated increase
in the market price of our Common Stock could encourage interest in our Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders,
such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Split.
Effecting the Reverse Split
Any time twenty calendar days
following the date of this Information Statement, if our Board concludes that it is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders
to effect the Reverse Split, the Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of Florida. The actual timing of the filing of the
Amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida to effect the Reverse Split will be determined by our Board (provided that it is effected
within one year of the date on which the stockholders of the Corporation approve the Reverse Split). In addition, if for any reason our
Board deems it advisable to do so, the Reverse Split may be abandoned at any time prior to the filing of the Amendment, without further
action by our stockholders. The Reverse Split will be effective as of the date of filing with the Secretary of State of Florida or at
such time and date as specified in the Amendment (the “Effective Time”). Upon the filing of the Amendment, without further
action on our part or our stockholders, the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by stockholders of record as of the Effective Time
would be converted into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock based on a Reverse Split ratio as determined by the Board. For example,
if you presently hold 1,500 shares of our Common Stock, you would hold 50 shares of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split if the
ratio is one-for-thirty or you would hold 75 shares of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split if the ratio is one-for-twenty.
Effect on Outstanding Shares, Options and Certain Other Securities
If the Reverse Split is implemented,
the number of shares our Common Stock owned by each stockholder will be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction in the total number
of shares outstanding, such that the percentage of our Common Stock owned by each stockholder will remain unchanged except for any de
minimus change resulting from rounding up to the nearest number of whole shares so that we are not obligated to issue cash in lieu of
any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Split. The number of shares of our Common Stock
that may be purchased upon conversion or exercise of outstanding preferred stock, options or other securities convertible into, or exercisable
or exchangeable for, shares of our Common Stock, and the exercise or conversion prices for these securities, will also be ratably adjusted
in accordance with their terms as of the Effective Time.
Effect on Registration and Stock Trading
We are subject to the periodic
reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed Reverse Split will not affect the registration of our Common Stock.
Our Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol “QDMI” on the OTCQB.
Fractional Shares; Exchange of Stock Certificates
Our Board does not currently intend
to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Split. Therefore, we do not expect to issue certificates representing fractional
shares. In lieu of any fractional shares, we will issue to stockholders of record who would otherwise hold a fractional share because
the number of shares of Common Stock they hold before the Reverse Split is not evenly divisible by the Reverse Split ratio that number
of shares of Common Stock as rounded up to the nearest whole share. For example, if a stockholder holds 150.25 shares of Common Stock
following the Reverse Split, that stockholder will receive certificate representing 151 shares of Common Stock. No stockholders will receive
cash in lieu of fractional shares.
As of the Record Date, we had
253 holders of record of our Common Stock (although we have more beneficial holders). We do not expect the Reverse Split and the rounding
up of fractional shares to whole shares to result in a significant reduction in the number of record holders. We presently do not intend
to seek any change in our status as a reporting company for federal securities law purposes, either before or after the Reverse Split.
On or after the Effective Time,
we will mail a letter of transmittal to each stockholder. Each stockholder will be able to obtain a certificate evidencing his, her or
its post-Reverse Split shares only by sending the exchange agent (who will be the Company’s transfer agent) the stockholder’s
old stock certificate(s), together with the properly executed and completed letter of transmittal and such evidence of ownership of the
shares as we may require. Stockholders will not receive certificates for post-Reverse Split shares unless and until their old certificates
are surrendered. Stockholders should not forward their certificates to the exchange agent until they receive the letter of transmittal,
and they should only send in their certificates with the letter of transmittal. The exchange agent will send each stockholder, if elected
in the letter of transmittal, a new stock certificate after receipt of that stockholder’s properly completed letter of transmittal
and old stock certificate(s). A stockholder that surrenders his, her or its old stock certificate(s) but does not elect to receive a new
stock certificate in the letter of transmittal will be deemed to have requested to hold that stockholder’s shares electronically
in book-entry form with our transfer agent.
Certain of our registered holders
of Common Stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not
have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number
of shares registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, the stockholder
may return a properly executed and completed letter of transmittal.
Stockholders who hold shares in
street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) will be treated in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered
in their names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different
procedures and stockholders holding shares in street name should contact their nominees. Stockholders will not have to pay any service
charges in connection with the exchange of their certificates.
Authorized Shares
The Reverse Split will not have
any effect on the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock which is currently 200,000,000 shares. In accordance with our Articles
of Incorporation and Florida law, our stockholders do not have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any of our unissued
or treasury shares.
Anti-Takeover and Dilutive Effects
As previously described, although
the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to
the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease because we will not be reducing our authorized shares of Common Stock. The
additional shares of Common Stock that are authorized but unissued provide our Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions,
public or private refinancings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these
authorized but unissued shares may also be used by our Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts
to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable. The Reverse Split will give our Board authority to issue
additional shares from time to time without delay or further action by the stockholders except as may be required by applicable law or
the rules of the trading market of our Common Stock. The Reverse Split is not being recommended in response to any specific effort of
which we are aware to obtain control of us, nor does our Board have any present intent to use the authorized but unissued Common Stock
to impede a takeover attempt. There are no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into any arrangements that have material
anti-takeover effects.
In addition, the issuance of additional
shares of Common Stock for any of the corporate purposes listed above could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and the book
or market value of our outstanding Common Stock, depending on the circumstances, and would likely dilute a stockholder’s percentage
voting power in us. Holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our Board
intends to take these factors into account before authorizing any new issuance of shares.
Accounting Consequences
As of the Effective Time, the
stated capital attributable to Common Stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio (including
a retroactive adjustment of prior periods), and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated
capital is reduced. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summary describes
certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to holders of our Common Stock. This summary addresses the
tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation
organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal
income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our Common Stock (a “U.S. holder”). This summary does not address all
of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular stockholder, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general
application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also
does not address the tax consequences to persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law or persons
that do not hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority,
all as in effect as of the date hereof. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing
interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse
Split. Each stockholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income
and other tax consequences of the Reverse Split.
If a partnership (or other entity
classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income
tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.
Partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the Reverse Split.
The Reverse Split should be treated
as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. holder upon the
Reverse Split. Accordingly, the aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Split should equal the aggregate
tax basis in the Common Stock surrendered and the holding period for the Common Stock received should include the holding period for the
Common Stock surrendered.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR IN OPPOSITION
TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Except in their capacity as stockholders
(which interest does not differ from that of the other holders of Company’s Common Stock), none of our officers, directors or any
of their respective affiliates or associates will have any interest in the Reverse Split.

Stockholder Communications

stockholder communications to the Board at subsequent Board meetings. The directors will have the opportunity to review the actual communications
at their discretion.
Delivery of Documents to Security Holders Sharing An Address
If hard copies of the materials
are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless
we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed
to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the
Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may
make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the
address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to the Company at Room 715, 7F, The Place
Tower C, No. 150 Zunyi Road, Changning District, Shanghai, China.
If multiple stockholders sharing
an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each
stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call the Company’s principal executive offices.
Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate
mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such
request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.
