SUPPLEMENT TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING

 

December 9, 2022

 

Dear Stockholders:

 

We would like to inform you of the following updates in regards to Takung Art Co., Ltd.’s (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting” or the “Meeting”).

 

Postponement of the Annual Meeting

 

The Annual Meeting of the Company originally scheduled to be held on Monday, December 12, 2022 at 10:00 p.m. Beijing Time, will now be held on Tuesday, December 20, 2022 at 10:00 p.m. Beijing Time, at our corporate headquarters, located at Office Q 11th Floor, Kings Wing Plaza 2, No. 1 Kwan Street, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong.

 

Amendment to the Disposition SPA

 

The Share Purchase Agreement dated November 1, 2022 (the “Disposition SPA”) by and among the Company, Hong Kong Takung Art Company Limited (“Hong Kong Takung”), Hong Kong MQ Group Limited (“Hong Kong MQ”, together with Hong Kong Takung, the “Targets”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and Fecundity Capital Investment Co., Ltd., attached as Annex C in the Company’s Proxy Statement, was amended on December 9, 2022 to correct the clerical error in the purchase price for the sale of the shares of the Targets under the Disposition SPA from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. The Amendment to the Disposition SPA is attached as Annex A to this Supplemental Notice of Annual Meeting.

 

Amended and Restated Response to Merger Q&A

 

The following Merger Q&A on page 8 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

How will my rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited change after the merger relative to my rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the merger?

 

Because of differences between Delaware law and Cayman Islands law and differences between the governing documents of the Company and NFT Limited, we are unable to adopt governing documents for NFT Limited that are identical to the governing documents for the Company, but we have attempted to preserve in the memorandum and articles of association of NFT Limited the same allocation of material rights and powers between the shareholders and our Board that exists under the Company’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation. For example, under the Company’s bylaws, a director must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the nominee who polls more votes than any other candidate is elected. This provision is preserved in the articles of association of NFT Limited.

 

Nevertheless, NFT Limited’s proposed memorandum and articles of association differ from the Company’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation, both in form and substance, and your rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited will change relative to your rights as a stockholder of the Company as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Please see the sections entitled “Risk Factors and Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements — Risks Relating to the Merger and Reorganization — Your rights as a stockholder of the Company will change as a result of the merger and you may not be afforded as many rights as a shareholder of NFT Limited under applicable laws and the NFT Limited memorandum and articles of association as you were as a stockholder of the Company under applicable laws and the Company certificate of incorporation and bylaws.”

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changes above may not change your rights as a shareholder significantly in practice because the Company has a concentrated ownership structure with a stockholder holding more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s common stock. For further details on the security ownership of certain beneficial owners of the Company, please see the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

 

Additionally, as a foreign private issuer, NFT Limited will be permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands laws in lieu of certain NYSE American corporate governance standards. However, we do not intend to initially rely on any NYSE American exemptions or accommodations for foreign private issuers following the merger. Please see the sections entitled “Proposal 4 Approval of the Adoption of the Merger Agreement — The Merger Agreement — Background and Reasons for the Merger.”

 

In all other respects the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders dated November 18, 2022, as supplemented on December 2, 2022, remains unchanged.

 

Please read this Supplemental Notice of Annual Meeting in conjunction with the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2022, as supplemented on December 2, 2022. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please take the time to vote your shares by promptly completing, signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card, rather than the proxy card previously mailed to you, in the postage-paid envelope provided (or, if applicable, by following the instructions supplied to you by your bank or brokerage firm for voting by telephone or via the Internet). Submission of the enclosed proxy card will replace any previously submitted proxy card in connection with the annual meeting.

 

Sincerely,
