Governance Assessment
-
Strengths
- Independent director with committee leadership (Chairs Compensation Committee); Board affirms Nasdaq independence .
- Full attendance in FY 2024 for board and committee meetings, indicating engagement .
- Committees populated by independent directors; clear charters and oversight responsibilities (audit, compensation, nominating) .
-
Concerns and RED FLAGS
- Zero share ownership and cash-only director fees (no equity), which weakens ownership alignment; Huang’s $6,429 director fee was accrued and not paid in 2024 .
- Late Section 16(a) Form 3 filing noted; while common in smaller issuers, it is a compliance red flag .
- Youth and limited disclosed governance experience (age 25) may constrain committee chair effectiveness at a newly Nasdaq-listed issuer .
- Governance fluidity: multiple 2025 committee and board composition changes (resignations, intended appointments), which can impair continuity; Audit firm changes in 2025 add oversight risk context (dismissal of Enrome LLP on Jun 27, 2025; appointment of ST & Partners PLT) .
- Company seeking large authorized share increase (to 65,000,000 Common) raises dilution risk for investors, highlighting need for strong Compensation/Nominating oversight to align capital actions with shareholder interests .
Overall investor signal: Independent status and strong attendance are positives, but lack of equity ownership, late Section 16 filing, and governance turnover point to alignment and execution risks that warrant close monitoring, especially given prospective dilution from authorized share increases and recent auditor changes .
