As of November 22, 2024, approximately 1,086,488,550 of our Class A Ordinary Shares were represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). One or more holders of Ordinary Shares which represent, in aggregate, a majority of the paid up voting share capital of the Company present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its authorized representative shall be a quorum for all purposes.

 

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” each proposal from Proposals No. 1-5.

 

Voting and Solicitation

 

Each Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to the vote at the Annual General Meeting, and each Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one hundred (100) votes on all matters subject to the vote at the Annual General Meeting.

 

At the Annual General Meeting, every holder of Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy may vote the fully paid Ordinary Shares held by such holder of Ordinary Shares. A resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a poll. Except as required by applicable law and subject to the terms and conditions of the Articles, the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote at the Annual General Meeting. The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the holders of Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting will be required to pass each of the proposed resolutions submitted to a vote at the Annual General Meeting.

 

The costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by us. Proxies may be solicited by certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, in person or by telephone or electronic mail. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokers, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names our Ordinary Shares or ADSs beneficially owned by others to forward to those beneficial owners.

 

Voting by Holders of Ordinary Shares

 

Holders of Ordinary Shares whose shares are registered in their own names may vote by attending the Annual General Meeting in person or by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed form of proxy to the attention of Chunning Wang, Chief Executive Officer, Lion Group Holding Ltd., 3 Phillip Street, #15-04 Royal Group Building, Singapore 048693.

When proxies are properly completed, dated, signed and returned by holders of Ordinary Shares, the Ordinary Shares they represent, unless the proxies are revoked, will be voted at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given by such holders, the Ordinary Shares will be voted “FOR” each proposal and in the proxy holder’s discretion as to other matters that may properly come before the Annual General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against each of the proposed resolutions submitted to a vote at the Annual General Meeting. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against each of the proposed resolutions submitted to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

 

Please refer to this proxy statement for information related to the proposed resolutions.

 

Voting by Holders of American Depositary Shares

 

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary of the ADSs, has advised us that it intends to mail to all record owners of ADSs a voting instruction card and a depositary notice for record owners of ADSs. Upon the written request of an owner of record of ADSs by such owner’s delivery of a properly completed, dated and signed voting instruction card to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas prior to 10:00 am, New York City time on December 16, 2024, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Class A Ordinary Shares or other deposited securities represented by such ADSs, evidenced by American Depositary Receipts related to those ADSs, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas has advised us that it will not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote other than in accordance with those instructions. As the holder of record for all the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by all of our ADSs, only Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas may vote those Class A Ordinary Shares at the Annual General Meeting.

 

In the event that the Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas timely receives voting instructions from a holder which fail to specify the manner in which the depositary is to vote the Class A Ordinary Shares represented by such holder’s ADSs, the depositary shall (unless otherwise specified in the notice distributed to holders) deem such holder to have instructed the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to such the Class A Ordinary Shares and the depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

Revocability of Proxies

 

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or, if you hold Ordinary Shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person. A written notice of revocation must be delivered to the attention of Lion Group Holding Ltd., if you hold our Ordinary Shares, or to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas if you hold ADSs representing our Class A Ordinary Shares.

 

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

The Company makes available its annual report to shareholders through the Company’s website. The 2023 annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company adopted this practice to avoid the considerable expense associated with mailing physical copies of such report to record holders and beneficial owners of the Company’s ADSs.

A copy of the Notice of Meeting from the Company, which includes the agenda, is available at http://ir.liongrouphl.com.

 

Holders of ADSs as of the close of business on the ADS Record Date stated above will be entitled, subject to any applicable law, the provisions of the deposit agreement entered into between the Company, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Depositary”) and the Holders of ADSs (the “Deposit Agreement”), the Company’s memorandum and articles of association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs.

 

In order for a voting instruction to be valid, Holders must complete, sign and return the enclosed voting instruction form so that it is received by the voting deadline stated above. Voting instructions may be given only in respect of a number of ADSs representing an integral number of Deposited Securities. Upon the timely receipt of voting instructions of a Holder on the ADS Record Date in the manner specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Company’s memorandum and articles of association and the provisions of or governing the Deposited Securities, to vote or cause the custodian to vote the Deposited Securities (in person or by proxy) represented by ADSs evidenced by such receipt in accordance with such voting instructions.

 

Holders are advised that in the event that (i) the Depositary timely receives voting instructions from a Holder which fail to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Deposited Securities represented by such Holder’s ADSs or (ii) no timely instructions are received by the Depositary from a Holder with respect to any of the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs held by such Holder on the ADS Record Date, the Depositary shall deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to such Deposited Securities and the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote such Deposited Securities, provided, however, that no such instruction shall be deemed to have been given and no such discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to which the Company informs the Depositary (and the Company agrees to provide such information as promptly as practicable in writing, if applicable) that (x) the Company does not wish to give such proxy, (y) the Company is aware or should reasonably be aware that substantialopposition exists from Holders against the outcome for which the person designated by the Company would otherwise vote or (z) the outcome for which the person designated by the Company would otherwise vote would materially and adversely affect the rights of holders of Deposited Securities, provided, further, that the Company will have no liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner (as defined below) resulting from such notification

 

 

 

 

Additionally, Holders are advised that in the event that voting on any resolution or matter is conducted on a show of hands basis in accordance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, the Depositary will refrain from voting and the voting instructions (or the deemed voting instructions, as set out above) received by the Depositary from Holders shall lapse. The Depositary will have no obligation to demand voting on a poll basis with respect to any resolution and shall have no liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner for not having demanded voting on a poll basis.

 

Please note that persons beneficially holding ADSs through a bank, broker or other nominee that wish to provide voting instructions with respect to the securities represented by such ADSs must follow the voting instruction requirements of, and adhere to the deadlines set by, such bank, broker or other nominee. Such requirements and deadlines will differ from those set forth herein for registered holders of ADSs.

 

Holders and persons and/or entities having a beneficial interest in any ADS (“Beneficial Owners”) are advised that (a) the Depositary has not reviewed the Company’s website or any of the items thereon, and is not liable for the contents thereof, (b) neither the Depositary nor any of its affiliates controls, is responsible for, endorses, adopts, or guarantees the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in any document prepared by the Company or on the Company’s website and neither the Depositary nor any of its affiliates are or shall be liable or responsible for any information contained therein or thereon, (c) there can be no assurance that Holders or Beneficial Owners generally or any Holder or Beneficial Owner in particular will receive this notice with sufficient time to enable the Holder to return voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner, and (d) the Depositary and its agents shall not be liable for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any vote is cast or the effect of any vote.
