Equity Investment and Loan
On March 23, 2026, FiEE (HK) Limited, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Hong Kong (“FiEE HK”) and wholly owned subsidiary of FiEE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) by and among FiEE HK, Guangzhou Yinlian Culture Co., Ltd., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (“Yinlian Culture”), Guangzhou Maltose Culture Communication Co., Ltd., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the PRC (“Maltose Culture”), Guangzhou Qingniao Culture Co., Ltd., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the PRC (“Qingniao Culture”), Shenzhen Yaojin Creative Media Co., Ltd., a limited liability company formed under the laws of the PRC (“Yaojin Media”), Cai Yuanyao, Zhang Dingcheng, and Zhang Rong, pursuant to which (i) FiEE HK agreed to acquire a 51% equity interest (and 60% of the voting rights) in Yinlian Culture, for an aggregate purchase price of $51,000 (the “Equity Investment”) and (ii) FiEE HK, or an entity designated by FiEE (HK), will provide a zero-interest convertible loan to Yinlian Culture in the principal amount of up to approximately $2.9 million (the “Loan” and, together with the Equity Investment, the “Transactions”).
The Loan is to be funded in three tranches: (i) approximately $720,000 to be funded within 14 business days following the full payment for the Equity Investment, provided that Yinlian Culture has delivered its financial seals and bank-related documents (including online banking access) to FiEE HK; (ii) approximately $720,000 to be funded within one month of the simultaneous satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) Yinlian Culture and its subsidiaries and controlled entities (collectively, the "Group") have achieved positive consolidated net profit after tax within six months from the date of the Investment Agreement, (b) the Group has provided FiEE HK with a profit forecast for the following 12 months following the date of the Investment Agreement that is acceptable to FiEE HK and reflects positive consolidated net profit after tax, and (c) the Group has undertaken in writing to meet such performance targets within the agreed timeframe; and (iii) approximately $1.44 million to be funded within one month of the realization of the 12-month profit forecast described in clause (ii)(b) above.
Under the terms of the Loan, FiEE HK, or an entity designated by FiEE HK, has the option, exercisable at any time by written notice, to either (i) require Yinlian Culture to repay all or any portion of the Loan in cash, or (ii) convert all or any portion of the Loan into additional equity in Yinlian Culture, which, upon full conversion, would result in FiEE HK and its designated entities collectively holding 60% of the total equity interests in Yinlian Culture.
The Investment Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The closing of the Equity Investment and the closing of the Loan are each subject to customary closing conditions. The Investment Agreement also includes customary indemnification provisions and termination rights.
In connection with the signing of the Investment Agreement, FiEE HK, Yinlian Culture, Maltose Culture, Qingniao Culture, Yaojin Media, Cai Yuanyao, Zhang Dingcheng, and Zhang Rong entered into a Shareholder Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2026, governing the rights and obligations of the shareholders of Yinlian Culture, including, but not limited to, board composition and governance, voting rights, dividend rights and distribution thresholds, liquidation preference, and transfer restrictions.
The closing of the Equity Investment is expected to occur in April 2026, upon which FiEE HK will acquire 51% of the equity interests (and 60% of the voting rights) in Yinlian Culture and the VIE Agreements (as defined below) will become effective. The closing of the Loan is expected to occur following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent described above.
VIE Agreements
Maltose Culture is an AI-empowered music ecosystem that integrates content creation, intelligent platform distribution, and next-generation home entertainment. At or immediately prior to the closing of the Equity Investment, Maltose Culture will be owned 40% by Zhang Dingcheng and 60% by Yang Kai, the spouse of Cao Yu, who serves as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).
