PROPOSAL NO. 1

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Article 29 of the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Memorandum and Articles of Association"), the Board of Directors is divided into three classes, namely Class I, Class II, and Class III directors, with one class of directors eligible for re-election each year on a rotating basis. As a result, Jessica Thomas and Hafeez Giwa, our Class I directors who have been re-nominated by the Board of Directors, are subject to re-election at this meeting. If re-elected, each Class I director will hold office for a three-year term, and until his or her respective successor is elected and qualified at the 2027 annual general meeting, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal, in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Ordinary shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the re-election of each Class I director. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that each Class I director will be unable or unwilling to serve as Class I director if re-elected. In the event that a Class I director should be unavailable for re-election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such ordinary shares will be voted for the election of such substitute nominee as management may propose.

The following table sets forth certain information of the directors seeking re-election including age as of November 13, 2024, the principal position currently held and biography:

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF UHY LLP ("UHY") AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024.

The Company's audit committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors has appointed UHY to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Although the Memorandum and Articles of Association do not require the submission of this matter to shareholders, the Board of Directors considers it desirable that the appointment of UHY be ratified by the shareholders.

Audit services provided by UHY for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 will include the examination of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and services related to periodic filings made with the SEC.

A representative of UHY is not expected to be present at the Meeting and therefore will not (i) have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire or (ii) be available to respond to questions from shareholders.

In the event shareholders fail to vote in favor of the above ratification, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment. Even if the shareholders vote in favor of the above ratification, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the holders of ordinary shares, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person, or in the case of any holder of ordinary shares being an organization, by its duly authorized representative, or, where proxies are allowed, represented by proxy at the Meeting will be required to approve this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL NO. 2, THE RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF UHY LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal, if approved, will request the chairman of the Meeting (who has agreed to act accordingly) to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The adjournment proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve Proposals No. 1 and No. 2 in this proxy statement.

In the event shareholders fail to approve the adjournment proposal, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the Meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve the proposals.

The affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes of the holders of ordinary shares, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person, or in the case of any holder of ordinary shares being an organization, by its duly authorized representative, or, where proxies are allowed, represented by proxy at the Meeting will be required to approve this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL NO. 3, THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
