PROPOSAL
THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Purpose of the Private Placement
The Board believes it is in the best interests of
the Company to raise capital in the amount of $35,000,000 in a private placement transaction to fund the capital needs of the Company
through the sale of a $50,000,000 senior Convertible Debentures bearing 10% interest. The transaction is described in more detail below.
Description of the Private Placement
On August 23, 2023, Wetrade Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”),
pursuant to which the Company received a net proceed of up to $35,000,000 (as a result of 30% discount from the principal amount) in consideration
of the issuance of:
|
● |
senior convertible notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $50,000,000 (the “Convertible Notes”); |
|
|
|
|
● |
warrants to purchase up to 100% of the number of the Company’s shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) underlying the aggregate face value of the Convertible Notes at the initial conversion price until on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the five-year anniversary of the closing date at an exercise price of $4.76 (the “PIPE Warrants”). |
The Company intends to
use the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the PIPE Warrants for general corporate purposes.
The Convertible Notes
bear interest at an interest rate of 10% per annum payable on each installment date commencing on the original date of issuance. If an
Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing, interest would accrue at the rate of 18% per annum, compounding
monthly. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock, beginning after the original date of issuance at an initial
conversion price of $4.76 per share. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications
and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock,
or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject
to certain exceptions).
The PIPE Warrants contain
provisions permitting cashless exercise subject to certain conditions.
The Convertible Notes
and the PIPE Warrants contain conversion limitations providing that a holder thereof may not convert the Convertible Notes or exercise
the PIPE Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, the holder or any
of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% the ordinary shares immediately after giving effect to such conversion or
exercise. A holder may increase or decrease its beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to the Company provided that in no event such
limitation exceeds 9.99%, and that any increase shall not be effective until the 61st day after such notice.
The Convertible Notes
will rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company.
Additional Information
The foregoing is only a summary of the material
terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Debentures and the PIPE Warrants (the “Transaction Documents”) and does not
purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder.
The summary of the Transaction Documents does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of such agreements, copies of which are attached
to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 4.1, 10.1 and10.2, respectively, filed with the SEC on August 24, 2023, which
is incorporated by reference herein.
Reason for Stockholder Approval
Pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(d),
if an issuer intends to issue securities in a transaction which could result in the issuance of 20% or more of the issued and outstanding
shares of the issuer’s common stock on a pre-transaction basis for less than the Minimum Price for such stock, the issuer generally
must obtain the prior approval of its stockholders. The number of shares of common stock to be issued to the Investor in the Private Placement
upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures could result in the issuance of a number of shares exceeding the threshold and pricing for
which stockholder approval is required under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). To ensure compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), the Majority Stockholders
approved the Private Placement.
Approval of the Private Placement
The approval of the Private Placement, including
for purposes of Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), requires the approval of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock having not less than
the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted.
As of the Record Date, the Company had 1,054,530 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of shares of common stock are
entitled to cast one vote per share.
The Majority Stockholders collectively held 547,705
shares of common stock as of the Record Date, representing approximately 51.9% of the voting power of all shares of common stock.
This Information Statement is first being mailed
on or about September 12, 2023 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the Record Date. The corporate action shall be effective
on or about October 2, 2023, or approximately 20 days after we mail this Information Statement.
Effect of the Private Placement on Existing
Stockholders
The issuance of securities pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement and the Convertible Dentures will not affect the rights of the Company’s existing stockholders, but such issuances will
have a dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders, including, over time, the voting power of the existing stockholders.
We have agreed to file the Registration Statement
to permit the public resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Debentures. The influx of those shares into the public
market could potentially have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Common Stock
Each share of our common stock entitles the owner
thereof to vote at the rate of one (1) vote for each share held.
DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
Holders of our voting securities do not have dissenter’s
rights under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act in connection with our Proposal.

requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act, we file periodic
