與我們的業務和行業相關的風險   80
我們的經營歷史有限   92
我們的運營歷史有限, 評估我們的業務,並且仍然很難對我們的增長和未來前景做出準確的預測和預測。 不能保證隨着我們業務的繼續,我們的產品或服務將繼續對潛在和現有客戶具有吸引力 發展。   94
我們經營 這個行業仍然相對較新,並且存在許多不確定性。   100
垂直農業 行業仍然是一個非常新的行業,並且存在很大的不確定性。這個領域也可能出現新的市場參與者,這是我們無法預料的。 無法保證該行業會增長,或者增長的水平有利於我們的業務,或者即使它增長,我們也無法保證 儘管該行業的市場條件有利,但我們的業務仍將盈利。   106
我們可能會招致重大損失 在不久的將來運營成本,並且無法確保我們能夠收回這些潛在成本以繼續盈利或作爲 一個持續的企業。   106
高啓動成本 這是ECA垂直農業行業市場進入者最關心的問題之一。CAE垂直農業需要大量 初始資金投資,包括支付建築設施和氣候控制系統等基礎設施的費用。此外, 在垂直農場內維護LED照明系統需要很高的電力成本以及勞動力成本。我們不能 保證我們對迄今爲止開發或未來將建設和開發的垂直農場的投資的回報。 如果我們未能做到這一點,我們的財務表現可能會受到不利影響,並且存在我們無法繼續作爲持續經營企業的風險。   106
我們無法保證 我們可以維持穩定的勞動力供應,擁有運營ECA垂直農場所需的複雜知識。如果我們失敗 爲此,我們的財務表現可能會受到負面影響   106
ECA垂直農場要求 有效建立、監控和維持的高水平技術專業知識。我們的CAE技術最大限度地減少了手動需求 農作物生產的勞動力,但需要複雜的知識才能成功配置、監督和維護它們。此外, 經營一個有利可圖的垂直農業操作不僅需要先進的專業知識,園藝和工程,而且還 具備領導能力、先前的管理經驗、財務知識、有效的溝通技巧和敏銳的 觀察.我們無法保證能夠留住具有此類技術專業知識的人員。如果我們做不到,我們的財務表現 可能會受到負面影響。   107
未能充分管理我們的計劃 增長戰略可能會損害我們的業務或增加我們的失敗風險。   F-1

 

在可預見的未來,我們打算追求 通過進一步開發和改進我們的產品和服務來擴大我們的業務的增長戰略。我們快速 擴大我們的業務將取決於許多因素,包括我們在受監管的環境中工作、建立和維護的能力 與供應商建立戰略關係,並以可接受的條款獲得充足且必要的資本資源。任何限制 我們的擴張能力可能會對我們的業務、經營業績和財務狀況產生重大不利影響。因此, 我們可能無法實現銷售增長目標,我們的運營可能無法成功或實現預期的經營結果。

 

我們可能會受到額外監管 農產品。

 

我們的業務受到某些馬來西亞人的影響 法律和法規,包括1983年《食品法》和1965年《聯邦農業營銷局法》(「FAMAA」),其中 管理農產品的安全、衛生、分級、包裝和標籤。保存併除外這些法律及其相應的法律 法規,特別是1985年食品法規和聯邦農業營銷局(分級、包裝和標籤 農產品)法規2008年,我們認爲我們的產品不受馬來西亞或任何進一步法規的約束 國家機構。然而,行業的變化,包括增長,使得可能會出台額外的法規 此類法規可能會影響銷售或以其他方式對我們的收入和商業機會產生負面影響。

 

Agroz Group目前不合規 符合馬來西亞的某些監管要求,雖然正在採取措施合規,但不合規將導致罰款, 處罰或運營中斷。

過去,上市公司股東 在其市場價格出現不穩定時期後,經常對這些公司提起證券集體訴訟 證券如果我們捲入集體訴訟,可能會轉移我們管理層的大量注意力, 來自我們業務和運營的其他資源,並要求我們承擔大量費用來辯護訴訟,這可能會損害我們的利益 運營結果。任何此類集體訴訟,無論是否成功,都可能損害我們的聲譽並限制我們的籌款能力 未來的資本。我們依賴股息和其他分配 我們的運營子公司支付的股權,以資助我們的現金和融資需求,以及任何限制的能力, 或未來子公司向我們付款可能對我們開展業務的能力產生重大不利影響。

 

Agroz是一家控股公司,我們依靠股息 以及我們的運營子公司爲我們的現金和融資需求(包括必要的資金)支付的其他股權分配 向我們的股東支付股息和其他現金分配,並償還我們可能產生的任何債務。沒有資產轉移 截至2023年12月31日的財年,Agroz Group與Agroz之間存在轉讓,截至2024年12月31日的財年內沒有轉讓,以及 我們預計Agroz Group不會在可預見的未來向我們支付股息。我們預計在可預見的時間內不會支付現金股息 未來我們預計我們將保留任何收益來支持運營併爲我們業務的增長和發展提供資金。 如果我們的任何子公司在未來產生債務,管理債務的工具可能會限制其能力, 向我們支付股息或進行其他分配。根據2016年馬來西亞公司法, 馬來西亞公司只能在公司有償付能力的情況下從公司利潤中分配股息。該公司被視爲 如果公司能夠在分配後十二(12)個月內償還到期債務,則具有償付能力。 根據馬來西亞稅務局的現行做法,馬來西亞無需就我們支付的股息繳稅。 對我們馬來西亞子公司向我們支付股息或進行其他分配的能力的任何限制都可能會造成重大不利影響 限制我們的增長、進行可能對我們的業務有利的投資或收購、支付股息或以其他方式籌集資金的能力 並開展我們的業務。

對我們子公司能力的任何限制 向我們支付股息或進行其他分配可能會對我們的增長、投資或收購能力產生重大不利影響 這可能對我們的業務有利、支付股息或以其他方式資助和開展我們的業務。如果我們未能滿足適用的上市要求, 納斯達克可能會將股份從交易中除牌,在此情況下,股份的流動性和市場價格可能會下降。

 

假設股票在納斯達克上市,我們 不能保證我們將來能夠達到納斯達克的持續上市標準。如果我們不遵守 適用的上市標準以及納斯達克退市股份,我們和我們的股東可能面臨重大重大不利後果, 包括:

 

有限可用性 股份的市場報價;

 

流動性減少 股份;

 

確定所述 股票是「廉價股票」,這將要求交易股票的經紀商遵守更嚴格的規則,並可能遵守 導致股份二級交易市場交易活動水平下降;

 

有限的新聞 關於我們和分析師對我們的報道;以及

 

能力下降 我們將來發行額外的股權證券或獲得額外的股權或債務融資。美國國家證券市場改善 1996年法案阻止或先發制人各州監管某些證券的銷售,這些證券被稱爲“涵蓋 證券"由於我們預計股份將在納斯達克上市,因此這些證券將爲擔保證券。雖然 各州無權監管我們證券的銷售,該法規確實允許各州調查公司,如果 有欺詐嫌疑,如果發現欺詐活動,那麼各州可以監管或禁止銷售承保的 特定情況下的證券。此外,如果我們不再在納斯達克上市,我們的證券將不再是承保證券,我們 將遵守我們提供證券的每個州的法規。

 

如果您在本次發行中購買股份, 您將立即大幅稀釋您的普通股的賬面價值。如果您在本次發行中購買股份,您 支付的費用將遠高於我們每股有形淨賬面價值。因此,您將立即經歷大量稀釋 每股3.66美元,相當於截至2011年,我們的預計每股調整有形淨現值0.34美元之間的差額 2024年12月31日,在將我們所有未發行的899,920 RCPS轉換爲普通股生效後,就像該轉換一樣 已發生於2024年12月31日,以一對一的方式進行,假設數字沒有變化,本次發行的淨收益將歸我們所有 本招股說明書封面頁所載我們發行的股份,假設公開發行價爲每股4.00美元。 請參閱「稀釋」以更完整地描述您對我們股票的投資價值將如何被稀釋 完成此提供。

 

受上述限制,在適當的情況下 在這種情況下,開曼群島法院可以在開曼群島執行其他類型的外國最終判決,例如宣告性判決 命令、履行合同的命令和禁令。 目前尚不確定法院是否 馬來西亞將(i)承認或執行美國法院針對我們或我們的董事或高管做出的判決 美國或美國任何州證券法的民事責任條款,或(ii)保留原件 根據美國或任何州的證券法,在馬來西亞針對我們或我們的董事或高管提起的訴訟 在美國美國法院根據美國聯邦或州證券法做出的判決可以執行 在馬來西亞,根據普通法,通過向馬來西亞法院就該判決提出訴訟,然後尋求簡易程序 基於外國判決的判斷,前提是外國判決(1)針對債務或確定的 金額(不是向外國政府徵稅當局收取的稅款或類似費用或罰款或其他處罰),和(2)最終 並且對主張的是非曲直具有決定性,但除此之外並非如此。在任何情況下,如果(a) 它是通過欺詐獲得的,(b)獲得判決的程序與自然正義相對立,(c)其執行 (d)美國法院沒有管轄權, 或(e)該判決與馬來西亞先前的判決有衝突。馬來西亞沒有相互執行判決的安排 與美國因此,在馬來西亞,無論是原始行動還是針對以下行爲的可執行性存在不確定性 執行美國法院僅根據美國聯邦證券法做出的民事責任判決 或美國境內任何州或地區的證券法。請參閱「民事責任的可執行性」。

 

您可能會遇到更多保護困難 比您作爲美國公司股東的利益更重要。我們是一家豁免有限責任公司 根據開曼群島法律註冊成立。我們的企業事務受我們的備忘錄和章程的規定管轄 協會以及公司法和開曼群島普通法的條款。股東的權利 針對董事會的行動、少數股東的行動以及董事在開曼群島對我們的受託義務 群島法律在很大程度上受開曼群島普通法管轄。開曼群島的普通法源於 部分來自開曼群島相對有限的司法先例以及英格蘭的普通法, 其法院對開曼群島法院具有說服力,但不具有約束力。

 

股東和受託人的權利 開曼群島法律規定的董事和高級職員的職責並不像法規或司法規定的那樣明確 美國一些司法管轄區和一些州(例如特拉華州)的先例已經更充分地發展和司法解釋 比開曼群島更有公司法。此外,開曼群島公司可能沒有資格發起股東 在美國聯邦法院的派生訴訟。開曼群島豁免公司的股東 根據開曼群島法律,像我們一樣沒有獲得股東名冊副本或檢查公司記錄(其他 公司的組織章程大綱、章程細則及通過的任何特別決議,以及抵押登記冊, (二)公司的經營活動。我們的董事根據我們的組織章程大綱及細則可酌情決定 我們的股東是否以及在什麼情況下可以檢查我們的公司記錄,但沒有義務檢查這些記錄 可供我們的股東使用。這可能會使您更難獲得確定任何必要事實所需的信息 股東動議或就代理權競爭向其他股東徵求代理權。

 

由於上述所有情況,我們的公衆股東 面對管理層或董事會成員採取的行動,可能會更難保護自己的利益 比他們作爲在美國註冊成立的公司的公衆股東所做的還要多。討論之間的重大差異 公司法的條款以及適用於在美國註冊成立的公司及其股東的法律,請參閱 “

 

股份資本的描述-公司法的差異

 

開曼群島經濟實質要求 可能會對我們的業務和運營產生影響。

 

iii

 

根據國際稅務合作 開曼群島(經濟實質)法案(經修訂)(「ES法案」)於2019年1月1日生效,是一項「相關」 「開展」相關活動”的實體必須滿足《經濟實質測試》中規定的適用經濟實質測試 ES法案。「有關實體」包括(其中包括)在開曼群島註冊成立的獲豁免公司, 不是開曼群島以外的納稅居民。《ES法案》下有九項指定的「相關活動」,並且 只要我們公司是從事「相關活動」的「相關實體」,就必須遵守 ES法案下的所有適用要求。如果公司進行的唯一業務活動是持股 在其他實體中僅賺取股息和資本收益,那麼根據《ES法案》的當前解釋,公司 一家「純股權控股公司」,因此將接受減少的經濟實質測試,目前 要求我們(i)遵守公司法下的所有適用要求,以及(ii)擁有足夠的人力資源和足夠的 位於開曼群島的場所用於持有和管理其他實體的股權參與者。然而,不能保證 我們不會受到《ES法案》的更多要求的約束。對《ES法案》的解釋和實施感到困惑 可能會對我們的業務和運營產生不利影響。

 

我們是一家外國私人發行人, 《交易法》下規則的含義,因此,我們免受適用於美國國內公衆的某些條款的約束 企業

 

因爲我們有資格成爲外國私人發行人 根據《證券交易法》,我們不受美國適用的證券規則和法規的某些規定的約束 美國國內發行人,包括:

概述

 

我們是垂直整合的農業技術 應用技術解決方案、創新商業模式、流程和系統來設計、構建、管理和室內運營的公司 ECA垂直農場。我們還運營着CAE垂直農場,直接生產清潔、無農藥、新鮮且營養豐富的蔬菜 對消費者和企業來說。AEON Alpha Angle的EduFarm也旨在教育公衆了解我們的蔬菜種植方式。我們 CAE實踐是各種數字技術的結合,包括物聯網、數據分析、人工學習、機器學習, 自動化、雲和邊緣計算以及5G通信。我們使用5G通信主要是爲了增強內部的互聯網連接 我們的ECA實踐,這對於實時監控和控制我們的農業運營至關重要。我們的使命是改善食品安全、食品保障, 通過我們的AgTech產品和服務創造可靠、易於獲取的食品供應,從而實現社會的可持續發展。我們相信我們 正在通過我們的CAE技術和方法徹底改變農業生產。我們相信我們的技術能夠 我們將在更小的空間內安全種植更多的糧食,而不使用殺蟲劑、除草劑和其他危險化學品,同時減少 需要儲存和冷藏。我們的目標是通過在當地種植糧食,提高糧食安全並提供新鮮度 被消耗,這減少了交通,從而減少了產生的食物里程和我們的碳排放影響,從而導致更多 對糧食生產產生環境友好的結果。

 

我們相信, AgTech和CEA垂直農業市場在全球和東南亞地區。從馬來西亞開始,我們的目標是與頂級 我們爲需求最高的市場提供的產品。主要業務我們的收入主要來自:

 

設計和/或構建 室內ECA垂直農場;經營和管理 室內ECA垂直農場;銷售CEA垂直農場; 和

 

  銷售新鮮農產品。 設計 和/或建造室內垂直農場我們的目標是創造高效、可持續、 和環境控制的垂直農場,最大限度地提高作物產量和作物質量,並允許精確的溫度管理, 溼度、光照和養分。
     
  我們設計和/或建造室內CEA垂直 根據客戶的具體需求爲他們提供農場。這涉及規劃每個ECA垂直農場的佈局,設計其 基礎設施、構建農場的結構框架、設置設備並在農場內實施Agroz操作系統。 Agroz OS在其當前的開發階段集成了下文詳細介紹的某些硬件和軟件解決方案。通過Agroz 此外,我們的目標是提高生產力、提高產量並提高CAE垂直農場內生產的農產品的質量。

阿格羅茲 操作系統目前由數字自動化硬件系統組成,能夠:(i)管理內部的各種環境條件 ECA垂直農場以及水質和水量,(ii)提供灌溉和養分灌溉施肥;(iii)爲農作物提供光照; (iv)管理能源使用;以及(v)收集數據,以便能夠管理農場內的溫度和照明,以及養分 供應、灌溉和灌溉施肥。作爲 於本招股章程日期,我們僅於Agroz OS實施(i)上述Agroz OS的數碼自動化硬件系統 和(ii)爲農場組織提供電子郵件和通信系統的軟件解決方案。

 

中提到的軟件解決方案 前一句話得到Microsoft Azure和Microsoft AI的支持,這些解決方案是可能的,根據Microsoft ISC和 Microsoft出版商協議和Microsoft AI Cloud合作伙伴計劃協議下的Microsoft AI Cloud合作伙伴作爲附件在此提交 10.7分別爲10.8。

 

我們 目前正在將人工智能代理系統集成到Agroz OS中

  ,支持哪個系統 由微軟人工智能,能夠向農場經理和農場主提出複雜的農業決策,並自主執行 這樣的決定後,人類的批准是收到。當完全部署時,我們設想人工智能系統的代理可以承擔 垂直農場內複雜的多步自主行動,並導致垂直農場可以獨立和自動 操作。我們預計將於2025年第二季度全面部署該人工智能代理系統。投資者應該知道這樣的人工智能代理系統是 不同於 Agroz Copilot;相比之下,Agroz Copilot是獨立於Agroz OS的GenAI應用程序,它使人類能夠 農民將查詢和指令輸入到應用程序中,以接收日常任務的幫助建議,而不是系統 用於垂直農場的自主運作。儘管我們已經啓動了Agroz Copilot的試點部署,但該應用程序仍然 正在開發中,目前我們還沒有向公衆正式推出Agroz Copilot的確定日期。
     
   

我們 設想在更高級的開發階段,Agroz OS將包括以下軟件解決方案:(i)上述人工智能代理系統, 和軟件解決方案,能夠:(ii)通過我們的專有技術跟蹤垂直農場業務活動的各個方面 Agroz企業資源規劃和(iii)財務會計和簿記,由Intuit Quickbooks軟件解決方案支持。我們預計這些軟件 解決方案將於2025年全面集成到Agroz OS中。

公司法的差異

 

《公司法》在很大程度上源於 來自英格蘭和威爾士的公司法,但不遵循英國最近的法定法規,因此, 《公司法》與英國現行《公司法》之間存在重大差異。此外,公司 該法案與適用於美國公司及其股東的法律不同。以下是重要的總結 適用於我們的公司法某些條款與適用同一主題的法律之間的差異 在特拉華州註冊成立的公司。

 

   這次討論並不意味着是一個完整的 開曼群島適用法律規定普通股持有人的權利或 適用特拉華州法律規定的典型公司的普通股。

   合併和類似安排
2024
 
   《公司法》允許合併和整合 開曼群島公司之間以及開曼群島公司與非開曼群島公司之間的法律 外國司法管轄區允許此類合併或合併。出於這些目的,(a)「合併」是指兩個或更多的合併 組成公司以及將其承諾、財產和負債歸屬於其中一家公司作爲倖存公司, 和(b)「合併」是指將兩個或更多組成公司合併爲合併公司,並且 將此類公司的業務、財產和負債歸屬於合併公司。爲了實現這樣的合併 (一)公司董事會應當對所議事項的決定作成會議記錄,出席會議的董事應當在會議記錄上簽名。 經(a)各組成公司股東的特別決議授權,及(b)其他授權(如有), 可在該成員公司的組織章程細則中指明。該計劃必須向公司註冊處提交 開曼群島的報告,以及關於合併或倖存公司償付能力的聲明、資產清單和 每個組成公司的責任以及將向其提供合併或合併證書副本的承諾 每個組成公司的股東和債權人以及合併或合併通知將發佈在 開曼群島公報。符合這些法規的合併或合併不需要法院批准 程序.   開曼母公司與開曼群島的合併 其開曼群島子公司不需要股東決議授權。爲此,子公司是 至少百分之九十(90%)有權投票的已發行股份由母公司擁有的公司。   每位固定或浮動持有人的同意 除非開曼群島法院放棄這一要求,否則需要對組成公司提供擔保權益。 
除某些有限情況外,異議 開曼群島成分公司的股東在反對合並時有權獲得其股份的公允價值付款 或合併。行使此類異議權利將阻止持異議股東行使任何其他權利 他或她可能因持有股份而有權獲得的,但以以下理由尋求救濟的權利除外 合併或合併無效或非法。            
此外,法律規定, 促進公司的重組和合並,前提是安排計劃獲得75%的批准 (75%)親自或委託代理人出席並投票的股東或股東類別(視情況而定)的價值 在爲此目的而召開的一次或多於一次會議上。會議的召開和隨後的安排必須得到批准 由開曼群島大法院裁決。而持異議的股東有權向法院表達交易的觀點, 不應獲得批准,如果法院確定:   918,274         
                
               
的法律規定 是否已達到所需的多數票;   2,403,407    14,089,238    3,152,307 
   159,961    1,832,975    410,107 
股東們已經 在相關會議上有公平代表,法定多數是善意行事,沒有強迫少數人, 促進不利於該階級利益的利益;   34,644    200,235    44,800 
   100,648    1,072,266    239,908 
該佈置使得 這可能得到該階級中聰明而誠實的人的合理批准,併爲自己的利益行事;和   2,698,660    17,194,714    3,847,122 
   3,616,934    17,194,714    3,847,122 

 

安排不是 根據《公司法》的其他條款,這更合適地受到制裁。

 

(a) 當收購要約被提出並接受時 收購要約後四個月內90%受影響股份的持有人,要約人可以在到期後的兩個月內 在該四個月期限內,要求剩餘股份的持有人根據要約條款轉讓此類股份。反對 可以向開曼群島大法院提出,但在已獲得批准的要約的情況下,這不太可能成功 除非有欺詐、惡意或勾結的證據。

 

   如果這樣安排和重建 批准,或者如果收購要約被提出並接受,持不同意見的股東將不擁有與評估權類似的權利, 否則,特拉華州公司的持不同意見的股東通常可以獲得該服務,並提供收取付款的權利 以現金換取司法確定的股份價值。

   股東訴訟
2024
 
   原則上,我們通常是合適的 原告可以就我們作爲公司所犯的錯誤提起訴訟,並且一般而言,少數股東不得提起衍生訴訟。 然而,根據英國法律權威,這很可能在開曼群島具有說服力,開曼群島 預計島嶼法院將遵循並適用普通法原則(即Foss訴Harbottle案中的規則和例外情況 因此),非控股股東可以被允許代表公司提起訴訟(即衍生訴訟) 如果它能夠證明初步證據成立的案件和被投訴的行爲:      超越了 公司或非法;

董事及行政人員的彌償 責任範圍和責任限制

 

開曼群島法律不限制範圍 公司的章程大綱和章程可以規定對高級職員和董事的賠償,但 開曼群島法院可能認爲任何此類規定違反公共政策,例如提供賠償 針對民事欺詐或犯罪後果,或針對被起訴人的實際欺詐或故意違約。 我們的組織章程大綱和章程規定,在開曼群島法律允許的範圍內,我們將賠償每個現有或 前秘書、董事(包括候補董事)和我們的任何其他官員(包括投資顧問或管理員 或清算人)及其個人代表針對(a)所有訴訟、訴訟、費用、收費、開支、損失、損害賠償或 現任或前任董事(包括候補董事)、秘書或高級官員在或有關方面產生或承擔的負債 我們的業務或事務的進行或現任或前任董事(包括候補董事)的執行或解除職務, 秘書或官員的職責、權力、權威或自由裁量權;和(b)在不限於上文(a)段的情況下,所有 現任或前任董事(包括候補董事)、秘書或高級官員產生的成本、費用、損失或負債 在爲任何民事、刑事、行政或調查訴訟辯護(無論是否成功)時(無論受到威脅, 懸而未決或已完成)在任何法院或法庭(無論是在開曼群島還是其他地方)涉及我們或我們的事務。

 

現任或前任董事(包括 然而,候補董事)、秘書或高級官員應對因其實際欺詐或 故意違約。

 

在法律允許的範圍內,我們可以制定 支付或同意支付(無論是通過預付、貸款或其他方式)以支付現有或前任產生的任何法律費用 董事(包括替任董事)、秘書或我們的任何高級職員就上文所述的任何事宜,條件是 董事(包括候補董事)、秘書或高級官員必須償還我們支付的金額,但最終 被發現沒有責任賠償董事(包括候補董事)、秘書或該官員的這些法律費用。

 

這一行爲標準大體相同 根據DGCL對特拉華州公司的允許。此外,我們打算與董事簽訂賠償協議 以及高級管理人員,將爲此類人員提供超出我們備忘錄規定的額外賠償, 公司章程除非允許我們的董事就《證券法》下產生的責任進行賠償, 根據上述條款控制我們的官員或人員,我們已獲悉,SEC認爲,此類賠償 違反《證券法》中規定的公共政策,因此不可執行。

 

1.董事的受託責任

 

2.根據特拉華州公司法, 特拉華公司對公司及其股東負有受託義務。這項義務有兩個組成部分:注意義務和 忠誠的義務。謹慎義務要求董事真誠行事,並像通常謹慎的人那樣謹慎行事 在類似情況下鍛鍊。根據這一義務,董事必須了解並向股東披露所有材料 有關重大交易的合理可用信息。忠誠的義務要求董事以他自己的方式行事 或者她有理由相信符合公司的最大利益。他或她不得利用其公司職位從事個人事務 獲得或優勢。這項義務禁止董事自我交易,並規定公司及其股東的最大利益 優先於董事、高級管理人員或控股股東擁有且未由股東普遍分享的任何權益。 一般來說,董事的行爲被推定是在知情的基礎上、真誠地並且誠實地相信 所採取的行動符合公司的最大利益。然而,這一推定可能會被違反以下一項的證據所推翻 受託義務。如果董事就交易提供此類證據,董事必須證明程序性 交易的公平性,以及交易對公司具有公平價值。

 

開曼群島董事的職責 (一)公司章程的修改;(二)公司章程的修改; (iii)法規。根據普通法,開曼群島公司的董事對公司負有以下受託義務:(a)有義務 (二)董事會認爲公司的最佳利益受到損害的;(三)董事會認爲公司的最佳利益受到損害的; 出於所授予的目的而不是出於附帶或不當目的的權力,(c)有義務避免束縛其自由裁量權 未來和(d)避免利益衝突和職責衝突的義務。董事根據共同法律所承擔的另一套職責 法律是那些細心、勤奮和技巧的法律。如果我們的任何董事違反了某些義務,我們有權尋求損害賠償。

 

股東書面同意的行動

 

根據DGCL,公司可以消除 股東有權通過修改其公司註冊證書,經書面同意行事。《公司法》允許特殊 如果由所有有投票權的股東簽署(如果經備忘錄授權),將以書面形式通過決議(定義見公司法) 和公司章程)。

馬來西亞利得稅

以下是馬來西亞人的簡短描述 企業所得稅旨在強調對我們收益的企業層面徵稅,這將影響股息金額, 如果有的話,我們最終能夠向股東付款。請參閱「股息政策」。

 

馬來西亞的所得稅管轄一個人的主要立法 馬來西亞的所得稅是1967年所得稅法(ITA)。實施和執行《信息技術協定》的監管機構 是馬來西亞稅務局(「IRS」)。根據ITA第3條,應對每個人徵收所得稅 任何人在馬來西亞累積或源自馬來西亞或在馬來西亞收到的收入的納稅年度(「YA」) 馬來西亞境外。

 

根據ITA第8條,公司 如果其管理和控制在馬來西亞行使,則是馬來西亞的納稅居民。通常考慮管理和控制 在有關公司管理和控制的董事會議召開地行使。收入 居民公司應繳納的稅率根據公司的實繳資本金額和年銷售額而有所不同 與特定YA的關係。企業所得稅稅率如下:

豁免繳稅

 

2021年11月16日,倫理委員會宣佈 針對收入來自外國的馬來西亞納稅居民的特殊收入匯款計劃(「SIRP」), 在馬來西亞收到。FSI徵稅的實施根據時間安排錯開在以下兩個時間表中進行 將FSI匯款到馬來西亞:(i)2022年1月1日至6月30日期間(六個月)(「SIRP 期間」),FSI匯出應按匯出收入總額按3%的固定稅率徵稅;和(ii)7月1日或之後, 2022年,繳納的FSI應按適用於居民法定收入徵稅的現行稅率徵稅,即FSI毛額減 歸屬於FSI的費用。根據SIRP匯出的FSI將被IRS善意接受,因爲IRS不會進行 對納稅人的審計或調查。此外,IRS不會對SIRP期間匯出的FSI施加任何處罰。

 

 

儘管實施了稅收 在FSI方面,馬來西亞財政部於2021年12月30日宣佈,將免徵所得稅 當滿足某些資格條件時,馬來西亞納稅居民獲得的某些類別FSI爲期五年。 具體而言,(i)對於個人(不包括通過合作伙伴關係在馬來西亞開展業務的個人),所有類別的FSI 豁免;及(ii)對於公司和有限責任合夥企業,外國來源的股息收入豁免。立法 如上所述,以下命令於2022年7月19日刊登憲報,有效期爲2022年1月1日至2026年12月31日。

 

 

利潤分配和預扣稅

 

54

 

 

我們是一家在 開曼群島,我們通過我們的運營子公司Agroz Group Sdn Bhd向我們支付的股息獲得了可觀的收入 馬來西亞的公司。

 

馬來西亞實行一級稅制, 根據該規定,對公司應稅收入徵收的所得稅是最終稅,分配的股息免徵 根據ITA第108條,股東的手。因此,公司不需要從股息中扣除稅款 支付給股東,並且沒有稅收抵免來抵消收款人的納稅義務。法人股東 獲得豁免的單層股息反過來又可以將此類股息分配給自己的股東,而股東也獲得豁免 收據此外,雖然馬來西亞對某些付款徵收預扣稅,例如利息、特許權使用費、合同付款和 對於特殊類別的收入,馬來西亞除了對宣佈股息的利潤徵稅外,不對股息徵稅。 這一立場與馬來西亞與衆多國家達成的雙重徵稅協定(「DTA」)一致, 包括美國在內根據稅務協定,馬來西亞公司支付的股息不會徵收預扣稅, 非居民。

 

鑑於上述情況,我們認爲股息 該款項將從我們在馬來西亞的運營子公司支付給我們,不會繳納任何預扣稅。

股息將包含在美國持有人的 託管人收到股息之日的收入。以開曼群島元支付的任何股息收入金額 美元金額將參考收到之日有效匯率計算,無論是否 付款實際上是兌換成美元的。如果股息在收到之日兌換成美元,美國持有人 不應要求確認股息收入的外幣損益。美國持有人可以持有外幣 如果股息在收到日期後轉換爲美元,則爲收益或損失。

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

A summary of related parties of the Company is as follows:

 

As used in this 「Related Party Transactions」 section, the term 「the Group」 refers to Agroz Inc. and Agroz Group., collectively. 「Agroz Group」 refers solely to Agroz Group Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian private limited company, our operating subsidiary.

 

Set forth below are related party transactions of the Group for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, which are identified in accordance with the rules prescribed under Form 20-F.

 

The related parties of the Company and their relationships to the Company are set forth as follows:

 

Name of entity or individual   Relationship
Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim   Chief Executive Officer
     
Ms. Khoo Kwai Fun (「Ms Khoo」)   Spouse of Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim and became a shareholder of the Company in January 2024
     
Mr. Au Say Kiat   Close family member of Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim and became a shareholder of the Company in February 2024
     
Isa Wellness Marketing   An entity controlled by a close family member of Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim
     
EPetani Sdn. Bhd.   Significantly influenced by Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim* and ceased to be a related party in January 2024**
     
Isa Farm Sdn. Bhd.   Under common control of Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim
     
Braiven Co., Ltd. (「Braiven」)   Significantly influenced by key management of the Group*
     
HWG Cash Berhad (「HWG Cash」)   Under common control of Mr. Chun Hoo Lim; HWG Cash ceased to be a shareholder of the Company in January 2024
     
Agroz Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (「Agroz Ventures」)   Significantly influenced by Agroz Group***
     
Agroz Vertical Farms Sdn. Bhd. (「Agroz Vertical Farms」)   Significantly influenced by Agroz Group***
     
Agroz Asia Sdn. Bhd. (「Agroz Asia」)   Under common control of Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim
     
Ahoku Ventures Sdn. Bhd.   Under common control of Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim

  

* As used in this 「Related Party Transactions」 section, 「significant influence」 has the meaning set forth in Item 7B of Form 20-F: having the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the applicable enterprise, but less than control. Shareholders beneficially owning a 10% interest in voting power are by this definition presumed to have significant influence over the applicable entity.

 

** In January 2024, Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim disposed of his shares in EPetani Sdn. Bhd., and EPetani Sdn. Bhd. is no longer a related party to the Group.

 

*** Agroz Group’s shareholdings of 19% in each of Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms are proxy holdings, with such shares held in trust. While shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting power in an entity are presumed to have a significant influence on the entity under Item 7B of Form 20-F, under International Accounting Standards (「IAS」) 28 and International Financial Reporting Standards (「IFRS」) 9, significant influence requires a holding of 20% or more in voting power. Agroz Group does not possess any Director nomination rights, voting power, or decision-making influence on the Board of Directors of either Agroz Ventures or Agroz Vertical Farms. Although Agroz Group meets the significant influence presumption under Item 7B of Form 20-F, it does not meet the criteria under IAS 28 and IFRS 9 criteria for significant influence. Therefore, Agroz Group does not believe these proxy holdings should be accounted under equity method. These proxy holdings additionally do not meet the criteria of assets under IASB Framework. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Agroz Group Sdn Bhd, pursuant to agreements with each of these entities, agreed to operate vertical farms owned by Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms in return for a share of such vertical farms’ revenue. Such revenue is received by Agroz Group in consideration of the services Agroz Group provides and the license it grants to use its technology. While IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers will be applied for the Company’s performance obligations under such agreements (i.e. operating Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms’ vertical farms), the transaction price for Agroz Group’s performance obligations is share of revenue on inhouse produced vegetables sales revenue to other parties except Agroz as management fee. There was no management fee earned for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the 2024 Fiscal Year, the management fee earned on vegetable sales revenue is insignificant.

On October 26, 2024, Agroz Group paid 33.33% of Payment Milestone 1 under the Re-Negotiated Payment Terms. In addition to this outstanding balance, a total of $2,600,000 will be due to Braiven in increments at time points following the execution date of the Second Braiven Services Agreement, as agreed to between the parties. Agroz Group does not face any material foreign exchange rates pursuant to the Second Braiven Services Agreement because payments to Braiven are made to a bank account that holds funds in U.S. dollars.

 

The Company determines pricing and supply with both related and non-related parties based on a willing buyer, willing seller basis. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, past related party transactions were not entered into on more favorable terms than terms in non-related party transactions. Please see the 「Risk Factor」 section for a more detailed discussion of risks related to our related party transactions. Disputes with related parties, if they arise, will be resolved through direct negotiations with the Company and such related parties. As of the end of the 2023 Fiscal Year and as of the end of the 2024 Fiscal Year, the Company had no disputes with its related parties.

 

Policies and Procedures for Related-Party Transactions

 

The audit committee of the Board, will play a crucial role in overseeing related party transactions. The audit committee will review and approve all of our related party transactions occurring after listing on the Nasdaq. We anticipate following the below process following the Nasdaq listing:

 

1) Identification and Proposal: Management will identify any potential related party transactions and prepare a detailed proposal that includes:

 

-The nature of the relationship with the related party.

 

-A full description of the proposed transaction, including its purpose.

 

-The terms of the transaction, including pricing, payment terms, and any other relevant conditions.

 

-An analysis demonstrating that the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company, and how it compares to terms that would be available in a transaction with an unrelated third party.

 

-Supporting documentation, such as valuations, appraisals, or market data, as appropriate.

 

2) Negotiation: if applicable, management will negotiate the terms of the proposed transaction with the related party. This negotiation will be conducted with the same level of objectivity and arm’s length standards as would be applied to a transaction with an unrelated party.

 

3) Audit Committee Review and Approval: after any applicable negotiations with the related party, management will submit its related party proposal and all supporting documentation to the audit committee for review and approval. The Audit Committee will independently assess the transaction, considering factors such as:

 

-The necessity of the transaction for the Company.

 

-The fairness of the terms, including pricing and other conditions.

 

-The potential impact of the transaction on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

-Compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and accounting standards.

 

4) Approval and Documentation: If the audit committee is satisfied that the related party transaction is in the best interests of the Company, it will provide formal approval.

 

All related party transactions will be documented thoroughly, including the rationale for the transaction, the approval process, and the key terms and conditions.

 

The audit committee will review all related party transactions on an ongoing basis to ensure that such transactions continue to be fair and reasonable.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

The following description of our securities is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms and provisions of our share capital contained in our Memorandum and Articles of Association, which copies are filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is USD11,500.00, divided into 115,000,000 shares, par value US$0.0001 each, of which 100,000,000 shares are designated as Ordinary Shares and 15,000,000 shares are designated as RCPS.

 

As of the date immediately prior to this Offering, 20,423,485 Ordinary Shares of par value US$0.0001 per share were issued, fully paid and outstanding. Upon completion of this Offering, we will have 21,673,485 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, assuming the Underwriters do not elect to exercise their option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares from us and no RCPS holders exercise their rights to convert their RCPS into Ordinary Shares (detailed below).

 

As of the date immediately prior to this Offering, 899,920 RCPS are issued and outstanding. Upon completion of this Offering, we will have 899,920 RCPS issued and outstanding, assuming no RCPS holders exercise their conversion rights.

 

The following description of our share capital and provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of association, as in effect as of the date of this prospectus, are summaries and do not purport to be complete.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

General

 

All of our outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members.

 

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and our Memorandum and Articles of Association regarding redemption and purchase of the shares, the Board of Directors has general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued shares to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. The Board of Directors may deal with unissued shares either at a premium or at par, or with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

 

Register of Members

 

Under the Companies Act, we must KEEP a register of members (i.e., shareholders) that includes:

 

  the names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, and the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member, the number and category of shares held by each member, whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the Memorandum and Articles, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;

 

  the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and
     
  the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e., the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a shareholder registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have prima facie legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon the closing of the Offering, the register of members will be immediately updated to record and give effect to the issue of Ordinary Shares. Once the register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members should be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

 

Dividends

 

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and any rights attaching to any class or classes of shares under and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the directors may declare dividends or distributions out of our funds which are lawfully available for that purpose. No dividends may be paid on or declared for any Ordinary Shares during or in respect of any financial year until all cumulative dividends with respect to the RCPS have been declared and paid in full.

 

Unless provided by the rights attached to a share, no dividend shall bear interest.

 

80

 

 

Voting Rights

 

In respect of all matters subject to a shareholders’ vote, each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. Voting at any meeting of shareholders may be by poll.

 

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting, while a special resolution also requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast by those shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting. A special resolution will be required for certain important matters such as a change of name or making changes to the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

Transfer of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to any applicable requirements set forth in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and provided that a transfer of Ordinary Shares complies with applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, a shareholder may transfer Ordinary Shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in a common form or in a form prescribed by Nasdaq or in any other form approved by the Board of Directors, executed:

 

  where the Ordinary Shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and
     
  where the Ordinary Shares are partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.

 

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of an Ordinary Share until the name of the transferee is entered into our register of members.

 

Where the Ordinary Shares in question are not listed on or subject to the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share that has not been fully paid up or is subject to a company lien. Our Board of Directors may also decline to register any transfer of such Ordinary Share unless:

 

  the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our Board of Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;
     
  the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Ordinary Shares;
     
  the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;
     
  the Ordinary Share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us; and
     
  any fee related to the transfer has been paid to us.
     

If our Board of Directors refuses to register a transfer, they are required, within two (2) months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

 

The registration of transfers may be suspended at such time and for such periods as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, provided always that such registration will not be suspended, and the register may not be closed, for more than 45 days in any year.

 

Procedures on Liquidation

 

Upon liquidation, dissolution, winding up (other than a solvent reconstruction, amalgamation, reorganization, merger or consolidation whereby all of our business, undertakings and assets are transferred to a successor entity which assumes all of our obligations under the RCPS) or other repayment of capital (other than on redemption), the RCPS holders have a liquidation preference over the other share class holders. In such event, our surplus assets remaining after payment and discharge of all debts and liabilities and the cost of winding up will first be allocated to pay the holders of the RCPS on a pari passu basis a sum equivalent to any dividend declared but unpaid on the RCPS, then to the RCPS holders on a pari passu basis, the RCPS Subscription Price, then to holders of Ordinary Shares on a pari passu basis as between themselves, a sum equal to any arrears of dividend due on the Ordinary Shares, whether or not the Company has sufficient distributable reserves, then the balance of the assets shall belong to and be distributed among the holders of any class of shares in the capital of the Company other than the holders of RCPS in accordance with the respective rights attaching thereto.

 

Redeemable Convertible Preference Shares

 

All of our outstanding RCPS are fully paid and non-assessable. Our RCPS are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members. Unless the Board of Directors determine otherwise, each holder of our RCPS will not receive a certificate in respect of such RCPS. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their RCPS. We may not issue shares to bearer.

 

81

 

 

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the Memorandum and Articles of Association regarding redemption and purchase of the RCPS, the Board of Directors has general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued RCPS to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. The Board of Directors may deal with unissued shares either at a premium or at par, or with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

 

Dividends

 

The holders of RCPS are entitled to receive dividends out of any assets legally available therefore, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend payable on the Ordinary Shares, at the applicable Dividend Rate (as defined below), payable when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends are cumulative and payable on the anniversary of the issue date of the RCPS.

 

「Dividend Rate」 means 10% per annum of the RCPS Subscription Price (as defined below) for each RCPS held by such holder (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to the RCPS).

 

「RCPS Subscription Price」 means USD 2.50.

 

Conversion Rights

 

At the option and right of the RCPS shareholder and subject to the Memorandum and Articles of Association, on giving seven (7) business days’ written notice to us, such shareholder may convert one (1) RCPS into one (1) Ordinary Share on or before the second anniversary of the issuance date of the RCPS (the 「Maturity Date」). No further consideration is payable for such conversion. The conversion ratio will be adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such RCPS. The right of the RCPS shareholder to convert his, her, or its shares is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

 

Redemption Rights

 

At our option, each RCPS is redeemable in whole or in part at the RCPS Subscription Price (or the prorated amount in the case of redemption of a fraction of an RCPS), at any time after the RCPS share issuance date, by way of written notice or as otherwise specified by the Board of Directors from time to time, following which we shall pay the redemption proceeds to the RCPS shareholder within 14 business days from the date of our issuance of the written notice. All RCPS which are outstanding as of the Maturity Date and have not been converted into Ordinary Shares will be fully redeemed by us at the RCPS Subscription Price per RCPS.

 

Voting Rights

 

The RCPS holders do not have any voting rights.

 

Rights to Information

 

The RCPS holders are not entitled to receive notices of meetings or otherwise from us, nor reports or audited accounts.

 

Transfer of the RCPS

 

The RCPS are not transferable except with the written consent of the Board of Directors and subject to applicable securities laws and the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

82

 

 

Variations of Rights of Shares

 

Whenever our capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attaching to any class of share (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed by a majority of not less than three-fourths of the holders of shares of the class passed at a general meeting of the shares of that class.

 

Unless the terms on which a class of shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the shareholder holding shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with the existing shares of that class.

 

General Meetings of Shareholders

 

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings; accordingly, we may, but shall not be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting. Any annual general meeting held shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our Board of Directors. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

The Board of Directors may convene general meetings whenever it thinks fit. General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at our general meetings who (together) hold not less than ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting in accordance with the notice provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting within 21 days from the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders or those who represent more than one-half of the total voting rights of all such shareholders may themselves convene a general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 days. At least five (5) clear days’ notice shall be given for an annual general meeting or any other general meeting.

 

A quorum, for the purposes of varying the rights of shareholders, shall consist of the presence (whether in person or represented by proxy) of one or more shareholders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting.

 

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum of shareholders is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Two shareholders present in person or by proxy shall be a quorum, provided always that if the Company has one member of record, the quorum shall be that one shareholder present in person or by proxy. If, within half an hour from the time appointed for the general meeting, or at any time during the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, a quorum is not present, such meeting will be dissolved and in any other case stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other time or such other place as the Board of Directors may determine. If at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the shareholders present at such meeting will constitute a quorum.

 

The Chairman, if any, of the Board of Directors, shall preside as Chairman at every general meeting, or if there is no such Chairman, or if he or she is not present within 15 minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the directors present shall elect one of their number to be Chairman of the meeting. The Chairman may adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

 

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before, or on, the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by Chairman or any other shareholder present in person or by proxy. Unless a poll be so demanded, a declaration by the Chairman that a resolution has on a show of hands been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the Company’s minute book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of or against such resolution.

 

83

 

 

If a poll is duly demanded, it shall be taken in such manner as the Chairman directs and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the general meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

Inspection of Books and Records

 

Our shareholders will have no general right to inspect or obtain copies of the register of members or corporate records of our Company unless conferred by statute or authorized by the Board of Directors or the Company at a general meeting.

 

Certain Cayman Islands Company Considerations

 

Exempted Company

 

We are incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. A Cayman Islands exempted company:

 

  is a company that conducts its business mainly outside the Cayman Islands;
     
  is prohibited from trading in the Cayman Islands with any person, firm or corporation except in furtherance of the business of the exempted company carried on outside the Cayman Islands (and for this purpose CAN effect and conclude contracts in the Cayman Islands and exercise in the Cayman Islands all of its powers necessary for the carrying on of its business outside the Cayman Islands);
     
  does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
     
  does not have to make its register of members open to inspection by shareholders of that company
     
  may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation;
     
  may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
     
  may register as an exempted limited duration company; and
     
  may register as a segregated portfolio company.

 

「Limited liability」 means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company it holds.

 

Differences in Corporate Law

 

The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the Companies Acts of England and Wales but does not follow recent statutory enactments in the United Kingdom, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Act and the current Companies Act of the United Kingdom. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between certain provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws in respect of the same subject matter applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

 

84

 

 

This discussion does not purport to be a complete statement of the rights of holders of the Ordinary Shares under applicable law in the Cayman Islands or the rights of holders of the common stock of a typical corporation under applicable Delaware law.

 

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

 

The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies provided that the laws of the foreign jurisdiction permit such merger or consolidation. For these purposes, (a) 「merger」 means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a 「consolidation」 means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the shareholders and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

 

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

 

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

 

Except in certain limited circumstances, a dissenting shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of such dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, except for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

 

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the scheme of arrangement is approved by seventy-five percent (75%) in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court CAN be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

 

  the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;
     
  the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;
     
  the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and
     
  the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

 

85

 

 

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months of the offer, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection CAN be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

 

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, or if a takeover offer is made and accepted, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

 

Shareholders’ Suits

 

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company and as a general rule, a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English law authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court CAN be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to bring an action on behalf of the Company (i.e. a derivative action) if it CAN demonstrate a prima facie case and the act complained of:

 

  exceeds the powers of the Company or is illegal;
     
  constitutes a 「fraud on the minority」 (which, in most cases, will involve expropriation of the Company’s assets by the majority shareholders);
     
  is an irregularity in the passing of a resolution that requires a special majority; or
     
  infringes on an individual shareholder’s personal rights, such as the right to vote or preemption rights.  

 

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime, or against the indemnified person’s actual fraud or willful default. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association provide to the extent permitted by Cayman Islands law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against (a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and (b) without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

 

86

 

 

No such existing or former director (including alternate director), Secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of their actual fraud or willful default.

 

To the extent permitted by law, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs.

 

This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the DGCL for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Memorandum and Articles of Association. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

 

Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

 

The duties of a director of a Cayman Islands company primarily derive from three main sources: (i) the memorandum and articles of association of the company; (ii) common law; and (iii) statute. Under common law, directors of a Cayman Islands company owe the following fiduciary duties to the company (a) a duty to act honestly and in good faith in what the director considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred and not for a collateral or improper purpose, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. The other set of duties owed by a director under the common law are those of care, diligence and skill. We have the right to seek damages where certain duties owed by any of our directors are breached.

 

Shareholder Action by Written Consent

 

Under the DGCL, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. The Companies Act allows a special resolution (as defined in the Companies Act) to be passed in writing if signed by all the voting shareholders (if authorized by the memorandum and articles of association).

 

87

 

 

Shareholder Proposals

 

Under the DGCL, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

 

The Companies Act does not provide shareholders with rights to requisition a general meeting nor any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association allow any one or more of our shareholders who together hold shares which carry in aggregate at least ten (10) per cent of the paid up capital of our Company having the right of voting at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings, although we are required to do so by the rules of the Nasdaq.

 

Cumulative Voting

 

Under the DGCL, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, our Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (「DGCL」), a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, directors may be removed by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. In addition, a director’s office shall be vacated automatically if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to the company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our Board of Directors, is absent from meetings of our Board of Directors for a continuous period of six months, or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

 

The DGCL contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an 「interested shareholder」 for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target company’s board of directors.

 

88

 

 

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

 

Dissolution; Winding Up

 

Under the DGCL, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

 

Under the Companies Act, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Companies Act and our Memorandum and Articles of Association, our Company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

 

Variation of Rights of Shares

 

Under the DGCL, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Memorandum and Articles of Association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the written consent of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

 

Amendment of Governing Documents

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Act, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our Memorandum and Articles of Association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

 

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

 

There are no limitations imposed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares.

 

Anti-money Laundering — Cayman Islands

 

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

 

89

 

 

We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases the directors may be satisfied that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the 「Regulations」). Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:

 

  the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or
     
  the subscriber is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or
     
  the application is made through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors.

 

For the purposes of these exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority, or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.

 

In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

 

We also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if our directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

 

If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reason for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Cayman Islands Economic Substance

 

The International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (as revised) (the 「Substance Act」) was introduced in the Cayman Islands in 2019 as a response to concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. The Substance Act requires in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain 「relevant activities」 to have an adequate physical presence and/or operating expenditures within the Cayman Islands commensurate with the level of relevant income derived from the relevant activity. Based on our current and anticipated business activities and corporate structure, we expect that we will either be out of scope of the legislation or will be subject to a reduced economic substance test applicable to a 「pure equity holding company」, which CAN be satisfied by our compliance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, including but not limited to maintaining a registered office in the Cayman Islands.

 

Listing

 

We have reserved the ticker symbol 「AGRZ」 for the Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in listing our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market; however, we will not complete this Offering unless we are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The transfer agent of our Ordinary Shares is VStock Transfer, LLC, located at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598.

 

91

 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Before this Offering, there was no established public market for our Ordinary Shares, and while we intend to apply for approval to have the Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that a liquid trading market for the Ordinary Shares will develop or be sustained after this Offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public markets after this Offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding will be available for sale immediately after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, after these restrictions lapse, future sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares, including Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public market in the United States, or the possibility of such sales, could negatively affect the market price in the United States of our Ordinary Shares and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

Upon the Closing Date, we will have 21,673,485 outstanding Ordinary Shares, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option or conversion of RCPS subsequent to December 31, 2024. Of that amount, 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares will be publicly held by investors participating in this Offering, and 20,423,485 Ordinary Shares will be held by our existing shareholders, some of whom may be our affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As defined in Rule 144, an affiliate of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer.

 

All of the Ordinary Shares sold in this Offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our affiliates in the United States without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Ordinary Shares purchased by one of our affiliates may not be resold, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act described below.

 

The Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding prior to this Offering are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the United States only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. These rules are described below.

 

92

 

 

Rule 144

 

In general, persons who have beneficially owned restricted Ordinary Shares for at least six months, and any affiliate of the Company who owns either restricted or unrestricted securities, are entitled to sell their securities without registration with the SEC under an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

Non-Affiliates

 

Any person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a seller may sell an unlimited number of restricted securities under Rule 144 if:

 

  the restricted securities have been held for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates;
     
  we have been subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale; and
     
  we are current in our Exchange Act reporting at the time of sale.

 

Any person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and has held the restricted securities for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, will be entitled to sell an unlimited number of restricted securities without regard to the length of time we have been subject to Exchange Act periodic reporting or whether we are current in our Exchange Act reporting.

 

Affiliates

 

Persons seeking to sell restricted securities who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to the restrictions described above. They are also subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be required to comply with the manner of sale and notice provisions of Rule 144 and would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only that number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

 

  1% of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, which will equal approximately Ordinary Shares immediately after the Closing Date based on the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024; or
     
  the average weekly trading volume of our Ordinary Shares in the form of Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

Additionally, persons who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale may sell unrestricted securities under the requirements of Rule 144 described above, without regard to the six-month holding period of Rule 144, which does not apply to sales of unrestricted securities.

 

Rule 701

 

Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. If any of our employees, executive officers, or directors purchase shares under a written compensatory plan or contract, they may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares would be required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling any such shares. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements as described below and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

 

93

 

 

Regulation S

 

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides an exemption from registration requirements in the United States for offers and sales of securities that occur outside the United States. Rule 903 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a sale by an issuer, a distributor, their respective affiliates, or anyone acting on their behalf. Rule 904 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a resale by persons other than those covered by Rule 903. In each case, any sale must be completed in an offshore transaction, as that term is defined in Regulation S, and no directed selling efforts, as that term is defined in Regulation S, may be made in the United States.

 

We are a foreign issuer as defined in Regulation S. As a foreign issuer, securities that we sell outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S are not considered to be restricted securities under the Securities Act, and, subject to the offering restrictions imposed by Rule 903, are freely tradable without registration or restrictions under the Securities Act, unless the securities are held by our affiliates. We are not claiming the potential exemption offered by Regulation S in connection with the offering of newly issued shares outside the United States and will register all of the newly issued shares under the Securities Act.

 

Subject to certain limitations, holders of our restricted shares who are not our affiliates or who are our affiliates by virtue of their status as our officer or director of may resell their restricted shares in an 「offshore transaction」 under Regulation S if:

 

  none of the shareholder, its affiliate, nor any person acting on their behalf engages in directed selling efforts in the United States, and
     
  in the case of a sale of our restricted shares by an officer or director who is our affiliate solely by virtue of holding such position, no selling commission, fee, or other remuneration is paid in connection with the offer or sale other than the usual and customary broker’s commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent.

 

Additional restrictions are applicable to a holder of our restricted shares who will be our affiliate other than by virtue of his or her status as our officer or director.

 

Lock-up Agreements

 

We, including any successor entities, our directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders (defined as owners of five percent (5%) or more of our Ordinary Shares) have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to offer; pledge; announce the intention to sell; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our Ordinary Shares or such other securities for a period of 180 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement, without the prior written consent of US Tiger Securities, Inc. See 「Underwriting.」

 

MATERIAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following summary of the material Cayman Islands, Malaysian and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. The discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular prospective purchaser. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of, our Cayman Islands counsel.

 

Cayman Islands Taxation

 

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains, or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax, gift tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands). There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

 

94

 

 

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our ordinary shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our ordinary shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our ordinary shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

 

The Company has been incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and, as such, has applied for and received an undertaking from the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands in a form substantially similar to the following on February 7, 2025:

 

The Tax Concessions Act
(Revised)
Undertaking as to Tax Concessions

 

In accordance with the Tax Concessions Act (Revised), the following undertaking is hereby given to the Company:

 

  1. That no law which is hereafter enacted in the Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations shall apply to the Company or its operations; and
     
  2. In addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable:
     
  2.1 On or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company; or
     
  2.2 by way of the withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in the Tax Concessions Act (Revised).

 

These concessions shall be for a period of 20 years from the 7th day of February 2025.”

 

The Cayman Islands enacted the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (as revised) together with the Guidance Notes published by the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority from time to time. The Company is required to comply with the economic substance requirements from July 1, 2019 and make an annual report in the Cayman Islands as to whether or not it is carrying on any relevant activities and if it is, it must satisfy an economic substance test.

 

Malaysian Profits Taxation

 

Malaysian Enterprise Taxation

 

The following brief description of Malaysian enterprise income taxation is designed to highlight the enterprise-level taxation on our earnings, which will affect the amount of dividends, if any, we are ultimately able to pay to our shareholders. See 「Dividend Policy.」

 

Income Tax in Malaysia

 

The principal legislation that governs a person’s income tax in Malaysia is the Income Tax Act 1967 (the 「ITA」). The regulatory body implementing and enforcing the ITA is the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (「IRB」). Pursuant to Section 3 of the ITA, income tax shall be charged for each year of assessment (「YA」) upon the income of any person accruing in or derived from Malaysia or received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia.

 

Pursuant to Section 8 of the ITA, a company is a tax resident in Malaysia if its management and control are exercised in Malaysia. Management and control are normally considered to be exercised at the place where the directors’ meetings concerning management and control of the company are held. The income tax rate payable by a resident company differs depending on the amount of the company’s paid-up capital and its annual sale in relation to the particular YA. The corporate income tax rates are as illustrated below:

 

Types of Company  

Chargeable

income

 

Tax rate

YA 2023

 
Resident company (other than company described below)         24 %
Resident company:            
●  with paid-up capital of 2.5 million Malaysian ringgit (MYR) or less, and gross income from business of not more than MYR 50 million   On the first MYR150,000     15 %
●  that does not control, directly or indirectly, another company that has paid-up capital of more than MYR 2.5 million   On the next MYR450,000     17 %
●  is not controlled, directly or indirectly, by another company that has paid-up capital of more than MYR 2.5 million, and   In excess of MYR600,000     24 %
●  with no more than 20% of its paid-up capital being owned, directly or indirectly, by a foreign company or non-Malaysian citizen (with effect from year of assessment 2024)            
Non-resident company         24 %

 

95

 

 

Pursuant to the ITA, a non-resident company — namely, a company whose management and control are not exercised in Malaysia and thus does not fall under the purview of Section 8 of the ITA — is subject to the following tax rates:

 

Types of Income   Rate (%)  
Business income   24  
Royalties derived from Malaysia   10  
Rental of moveable properties   10  
Advice, assistance, or services rendered in Malaysia   10  
Interest   15*  
Dividends   Exempt  
Other income   10  

 

Note: Where the recipient is resident in a country that has a double tax agreement with Malaysia, the tax rates for the specific sources of income may be reduced.

 

  * Interest paid to a non-resident by a bank or a finance company in Malaysia is exempt from tax.

 

Foreign-Sourced Income

 

Malaysia adopts a territorial principle of taxation, under which only income accruing in or derived from or received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia is subject to income tax in Malaysia pursuant to Section 3 of the ITA. Previously, 「income received in Malaysia from outside Malaysia」 or 「foreign-sourced income」 (「FSI」) received by Malaysian taxpayers is not taxable due to the availability of tax exemption under Paragraph 28, Schedule 6 of the ITA (「Para 28」). This exemption is applicable to any person other than a resident company carrying on the business of banking, insurance, or Sea or air transport, in respect of income derived from sources outside Malaysia and received in Malaysia, pursuant to Para 28. On October 29, 2021, however, the Malaysian government announced via the Budget 2022 that the exemption under Para 28 will no longer be applicable to tax residents, effective from January 1, 2022. Therefore, income tax will be imposed on resident persons in Malaysia on income derived from foreign sources and received in Malaysia with effect from January 1, 2022. Such income will be treated equally vis-à-vis income accruing in or derived from Malaysia and taxable under Section 3 of the ITA.

 

In summary, the tax treatments for the income of a person in Malaysia are depicted as follows:

On November 16, 2021, the IRB announced the Special Income Remittance Program (「SIRP」) for Malaysian tax residents whose income is derived from foreign sources and received in Malaysia. The implementation of taxation on FSI is staggered into the following two timelines, depending on the timing of remittance of FSI into Malaysia: (i) during the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022 (six months) (the 「SIRP Period」), FSI remitted shall be taxed at a fixed rate of 3% on the gross amount of income remitted; and (ii) on or after July 1, 2022, FSI remitted shall be taxed at the prevailing tax rate applicable to tax residents on the statutory income, namely, gross FSI less expenses attributable to the FSI. FSI remitted under the SIRP will be accepted in good faith by the IRB as the IRB will not conduct an audit or investigation on the taxpayer. In addition, the IRB will not impose any penalty on FSI remitted during the SIRP Period.

 

Notwithstanding the implementation of taxation on FSI, the Malaysian Ministry of Finance announced on December 30, 2021 that exemption from income tax would be available for a period of five years on certain categories of FSI received by Malaysian tax residents, when certain qualifying conditions are met. Specifically, (i) for individuals excluding those carrying on business in Malaysia through a partnership, all categories of FSI are exempted; and (ii) for companies and limited liability partnerships, foreign-sourced dividend income is exempted. To legislate the above, the following Orders were gazetted on 19 July 2022 and are effective from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026.

Profit Distribution and Withholding Tax

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and we gain substantial income by way of dividends to be paid to us from Agroz Group Sdn Bhd, our operating subsidiary company in Malaysia.

 

Malaysia is under the single-tier tax system, under which income tax imposed on a company’s chargeable income is a final tax, and dividends distributed are exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders pursuant to Section 108 of the ITA. As such, companies are not required to deduct tax from dividends paid to shareholders, and no tax credits will be available to offset against the recipient’s tax liability. Corporate shareholders receiving exempt single-tier dividends can, in turn, distribute such dividends to their own shareholders, who are also exempt on such receipts. In addition, while Malaysia imposes withholding tax on certain payments, such as interest, royalties, contract payments, and special classes of income, Malaysia does not do so on dividends in addition to tax on the profits out of which the dividends are declared. Such position aligns with the double taxation agreements (「DTAs」) concluded by Malaysia with an extensive number of countries, including the United States. Pursuant to the DTAs, no withholding tax will be imposed on dividends paid by Malaysian companies to non-residents.

 

In view of the above, we believe that dividends which will be paid to us from our operating subsidiary in Malaysia will not be subject to any withholding tax.

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

 

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of the Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase the Shares pursuant to this Offering and hold the Shares as capital assets. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as certain financial institutions; insurance companies; dealers or traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes; tax-exempt entities or governmental organizations; retirement plans; regulated investment companies; real estate investment trusts; grantor trusts; brokers, dealers, or traders in securities, commodities, currencies, or notional principal contracts; certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; persons who hold our Ordinary Shares as part of a 「straddle,」 「hedge,」 「conversion transaction,」 「synthetic security,」 or integrated investment; persons that have a 「functional currency」 other than the U.S. dollar; persons that own directly, indirectly, or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares; corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax; partnerships and other pass-through entities; and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax consequences or any U.S. federal estate, gift, or alternative minimum tax consequences.

 

As used in this discussion, the term 「U.S. Holder」 means a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons has the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (y) that has elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in such Ordinary Shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity and the particular partner. Any such entity should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.

 

97

 

 

Persons considering an investment in the Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our Ordinary Shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

 

Distributions

 

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to our Ordinary Shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Ordinary Shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain. Because we may not account for our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends.

 

Distributions on our Ordinary Shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the 「dividends received」 deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations. Dividends paid by a 「qualified foreign corporation」 to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for taxation at a reduced capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income, provided that a holding period requirement (more than 60 days of ownership, without protection from the risk of loss, during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date) and certain other requirements are met. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends to its particular circumstances. However, if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year (see discussion above under 「PFIC Consequences」), we will not be treated as a qualified foreign corporation, and therefore, the reduced capital gains tax rate described above will not apply.

 

Dividends will be included in a U.S. Holder’s income on the date of the depositary’s receipt of the dividend. The amount of any dividend income paid in Cayman Islands dollars will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect to the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt.

 

A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation with respect to any dividend it pays on Ordinary Shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.

 

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Ordinary Shares

 

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange, or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange, or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange, or other disposition, the Ordinary Shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized from the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

 

98

 

 

Medicare Tax

 

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates, or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their net investment income, which may include their gross dividend income and net gains from the disposition of our Ordinary Shares. If you are a U.S. person that is an individual, estate, or trust, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of this Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect to your investment in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

U.S. Holders may be required to file certain U.S. information reporting returns with the IRS with respect to an investment in our Ordinary Shares, including, among others, IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets). Each U.S. Holder who is a shareholder of a PFIC must file an annual report containing certain information. U.S. Holders paying more than $100,000 for our Ordinary Shares may be required to file IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) reporting this payment. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with the required information reporting.

 

Dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares may be reported to the IRS unless the U.S. Holder establishes a basis for exemption. Backup withholding may apply to amounts subject to reporting if the holder (i) fails to provide an accurate U.S. taxpayer identification number or otherwise establish a basis for exemption, or (ii) is described in certain other categories of persons. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by the U.S. Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.

 

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the backup withholding tax and information reporting rules.

 

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT HIS, HER, OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

Prospective investors should consult their professional advisers on the possible tax consequences of buying, holding, or selling any Ordinary Shares under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence, or domicile.

UNDERWRITING

 

In connection with this Offering, we will enter into an underwriting agreement (the 「Underwriting Agreement」) with US Tiger Securities, Inc., the representative of the several Underwriters (the 「Representative」) in this Offering. The Representative may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected dealers on their behalf in connection with this Offering. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase from us, on a firm commitment basis, the number of Ordinary Shares set forth opposite its name below, at the offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus:

 

Name of Underwriters  Number of
Ordinary
Shares
 
US Tiger Securities, Inc.   1,250,000 
Total   1,250,000 

 

The Underwriters are committed to purchase all the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus if they purchase any Ordinary Shares. The Underwriters are not obligated to purchase the Ordinary Shares covered by the Over-Allotment Option as described below. The Underwriters are offering the Ordinary Shares, subject to prior sale, when, as, and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, such as the receipt by the Underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The Underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

 

Prior to this Offering, there was no public market for our Ordinary Shares. The IPO price for the Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between us and the Representative. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the Representative believe to be comparable to us, estimate of our business potential and earning prospects, the present state of our development, and other factors deemed relevant. The IPO price of the Ordinary Shares in this Offering does not necessarily bear any direct relationship to the assets, operations, book value, or other established criteria of value of our Company.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted to the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 187,500 additional Ordinary Shares (equal to 15% of the number of Ordinary Shares sold in the offering) at the offering price per Ordinary Share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters may exercise the Over-Allotment Option for 45 days after the date of Closing Date solely to cover sales of Ordinary Shares by the Underwriters in excess of the total number of Ordinary Shares set forth in the table above. If any of the additional Ordinary Shares are purchased, the Underwriters will offer the additional Ordinary Shares at $4.00 per Ordinary Share, the offering price of each Ordinary Share.

 

Discounts, Warrants, and Expenses

 

The underwriting discounts for the Ordinary Shares and the Ordinary Shares underlying the Over-Allotment Option are equal to seven percent (7%) of the IPO price.

 

The following table shows the price per share and total IPO price, underwriting discounts, and proceeds before expenses to us. The total amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

We have agreed to pay the Representative non-accountable expense equal to one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the Ordinary Shares in this offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the Representative up to a maximum of $200,000 for out-of-pocket accountable expenses, including but not limited to reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel, due diligence and background check expenses, and reasonable cost for roadshows. Of that amount, we paid $25,000 to the Representative upon the execution of the engagement agreement between us and the Representative for the Representative’s anticipated out-of-pocket expenses. Any advanced expense will be returned to us to the extent the Representative’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

 

We have agreed to pay expenses relating to the Offering, including: (a) the costs of preparing, printing and filing the registration statement with the SEC, amendments and supplements thereto, and post effective amendments, as well as the filing with FINRA, and payment of all necessary fees in connection therewith and the printing of a sufficient quantity of preliminary and final prospectuses as the Representative may reasonably request; (b) the costs of preparing, printing and delivering exhibits thereto, in such quantities as the underwriters may reasonably request; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of securities offered under the securities laws of foreign jurisdictions designated by the underwriters; (d) the fees of counsel(s) and accountants for us, including fees associated with any blue sky filings where applicable; (e) fees associated with our transfer agent; and (f) fees, if necessary, associated with translation services.

 

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the underwriting discounts and non-accountable expense allowance, will be approximately $1,225,688.

 

The Underwriters intend to offer our Ordinary Shares to their retail customers only in states in which we are permitted to offer our Ordinary Shares. We have relied on an exemption to the blue sky registration requirements afforded to 「covered securities.」 Securities listed on a national securities exchange are 「covered securities.」 If we were unable to meet the national securities exchange listing standards, then we would be unable to rely on the covered securities exemption to blue sky registration requirements and we would need to register the offering in each state in which we planned to sell shares. Consequently, we will not complete this Offering unless we meet the national securities exchange’s listing requirements and our application to list on the exchange is approved.

 

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. A form of the Underwriting Agreement is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

Representative’s Warrants

 

In addition, we have agreed to issue Warrants to the Representative to purchase a number of Ordinary Shares equal to 5% of the Ordinary Shares sold in this offering for nominal consideration. The exercise price of the Representative’s Warrants is equal to 120% of the offering price of the Ordinary Shares offered in this offering. The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable from the date of issuance at the closing of this offering, and until such Warrants expire three years after the date of closing of this offering. The Representative’s Warrants and the underlying Ordinary Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), and except as otherwise permitted by FINRA rules, neither the Representative’s Warrants nor any of our Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by any person, for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of this offering. In addition, the Representative’s Warrants and the underlying Ordinary Shares will be registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We have agreed that the Representative’s Warrants provide for registration rights in certain cases. These registration rights apply to the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrants. The Representative and its affiliates or employees are entitled to one demand registration of the sale of Ordinary Shares underlying the Representative’s Warrants at our expense and unlimited 「piggyback」 registration rights for a period of three years after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

101

 

 

Lock-up Agreements

 

We, including any successor entities, our directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders (defined as owners of five percent (5%) or more of the Ordinary Shares) have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to offer; pledge; announce the intention to sell; sell; contract to sell; sell; any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares or such other securities for a period of 180 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

 

Foreign Regulatory Restrictions on Purchase of the Shares

 

We have not taken any action to permit a public offering of the Shares outside the United States or to permit the possession or distribution of this prospectus outside the United States. People outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to this Offering of the Shares and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against liabilities relating to the offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and to contribute to payments that the Underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

 

Application for Nasdaq Listing

 

We have reserved the ticker symbol 「AGRZ」 for the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We will not consummate and close this Offering without a listing approval letter from Nasdaq Capital Market. Our receipt of a listing approval letter is not the same as an actual listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The listing approval letter will serve only to confirm that, if we sell a number of Ordinary Shares in this Offering sufficient to satisfy applicable listing criteria, the Ordinary Shares will in fact be listed.

 

Electronic Offer, Sale, and Distribution

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by the Underwriters or selling group members, if any, or by their affiliates, and the Underwriters may distribute prospectus electronically. The Underwriters may agree to allocate a number of Ordinary Shares to the selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to Internet distributions will be allocated on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on, or that CAN be accessed through, these websites and any information contained in any other website maintained by these entities is not part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Underwriters, and it should not be relied upon by investors.

 

In connection with this Offering, certain of the Underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as email.

 

102

 

 

Passive Market Making

 

Any underwriter who is a qualified market Maker on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions on Nasdaq, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. Passive market Makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as a passive market Maker. In general, a passive market Maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security. If all independent bids are lowered below the passive market Maker’s bid, however, the passive market Maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

The Underwriters and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of our Company. The Underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect to such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

 

Selling Restrictions

 

Other than in the United States, no action may be taken, and no action has been taken, by us or the Underwriters that would permit a public offering of the Ordinary Shares offered by, or the possession, circulation, or distribution of, this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such shares be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

 

In addition to the offering of the Ordinary Shares in the United States, the Underwriters may, subject to applicable foreign laws, also offer the Ordinary Shares in certain countries.

 

103

 

 

Price Stabilization, Short Positions, and Penalty Bids

 

Until the distribution of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the Underwriters to bid for and to purchase the Shares. As an exception to these rules, the Underwriters may engage in transactions effected in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act that are intended to stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the Shares. The Underwriters may engage in over-allotment sales, syndicate-covering transactions, stabilizing transactions, and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M.

 

  Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made by the managing underwriter for the purpose of preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of our securities while this Offering is in progress.
     
  Short sales and over-allotments occur when the managing underwriter, on behalf of the underwriting syndicate, sells more of our shares than they purchase from us in this Offering. In order to cover the resulting short position, the managing underwriter may exercise the Over-Allotment Option described above and/or may engage in syndicate-covering transactions. There is no contractual limit on the size of any syndicate-covering transaction. The Underwriters will deliver a prospectus in connection with any such short sales. Purchasers of shares sold short by the Underwriters are entitled to the same remedies under the federal securities laws as any other purchaser of units covered by the registration statement.
     
  Syndicate-covering transactions are bids for or purchases of our securities on the open market by the managing underwriter on behalf of the Underwriters in order to reduce a short position incurred by the managing underwriter on behalf of the Underwriters.
     
  A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the managing underwriter to reclaim the selling concession that would otherwise accrue to an underwriter if the Ordinary Shares originally sold by the underwriter were later repurchased by the managing underwriter and therefore were not effectively sold to the public by such underwriter.

 

Stabilization, syndicate-covering transactions, and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the Shares or preventing or delaying a decline in the market price of the Shares. As a result, the price of the Shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.

 

Neither we nor the Underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of the Shares. These transactions may occur on Nasdaq or on any trading market. If any of these transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time.

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The registered business address of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP is 7 Pennsylvania Plaza Suite 830, New York, NY 10001.

 

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits: (a) political and economic stability; (b) an effective judicial system; (c) a favorable tax system; (d) the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; (e) and the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include: (a) the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws than the United States and these securities laws provides less protection to investors; and (b) the Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

 

Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, among us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

 

We have appointed Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States in connection with this Offering under the federal securities laws of the United States or of any state in the United States.

 

Enforceability

 

Carey Olsen Cayman Limited, our counsel as to the laws of the Cayman Islands, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us based on certain civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, impose liabilities against us based on the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, insofar as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.

 

106

 

 

There is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment: (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (e) was not obtained by fraud; and (f) is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

 

Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

 

Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, most of our directors and executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and substantially all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us or them, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States, or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our executive officers and directors.

 

Our counsel as to the laws of Malaysia, Cheang & Ariff, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Malaysia would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in Malaysia against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

A judgment of a court in the United States predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws may be enforced in Malaysia at common law by bringing an action in a Malaysia court on that judgment for the amount due thereunder and then seeking summary judgment on the strength of the foreign judgment, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is (1) for a debt or a definite sum of money (not being taxes or similar charges to a foreign government taxing authority or a fine or other penalty), and (2) final and conclusive on the merits of the claim, but not otherwise. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Malaysia if (a) it was obtained by fraud, (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice, (c) its enforcement or recognition would be contrary to the public policy of Malaysia, (d) the court of the United States was not jurisdictionally competent, or (e) the judgment was in conflict with a prior Malaysian judgment.

 

Malaysia has no arrangement for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments with the United States. As a result, there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in Malaysia, in original actions or in actions for enforcement, of judgments of U.S. courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state or territory within the United States.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Agroz Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Agroz Inc. (the 「Company」) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive   income, changes in shareholders’   equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year   period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the 「financial statements」). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year   period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (「IFRS」) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has insufficient cash flows generated from operations and provided for development and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (「PCAOB」) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

Agroz Inc.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2024

 

1. General information

 

Agroz Inc. (the 「Company」) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 8, 2023, as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap.22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands.

 

The Company is an investment holding company and has not carried on any business since the date of its incorporation except for the group reorganization mentioned in note 2.1 below. The Company and its subsidiary (collectively, the 「Group」) are principally engaged in offering farm solutions and selling fresh produce from the controlled environment agriculture vertical farms operated (the 「CEA vertical farms」). The principal activities aforementioned are defined as the Relevant Business of the Group.

 

2. Reorganization, basis of presentation and going concern

 

2.1 Reorganization

 

Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the above mentioned Relevant Business was carried out through Agroz Group Sdn. Bhd. (「Agroz Group」), a company established in Malaysia on November 20, 2020. In anticipation of an initial public offering (「IPO」), the Company was incorporated on August 8, 2023; and acquired 100.0% of equity interests of Agroz Group and became the holding company of the Group on December 14, 2023 (the 「Reorganization」). Immediately before and after the Reorganization, the Company and Agroz Group are with identical shareholdings structures, which were effectively under common control; therefore, the Reorganization was accounted for as a recapitalization of the operating entity. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in a manner as if the Relevant Businesses had been always operated by the companies now comprising the Group and the Reorganization had been completed at the beginning of the reporting periods. The assets and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements are recognized and measured at the historical costs prior to the Reorganization.

 

The consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive  income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’  equity for the years ended December 31,  2023 and 2024, included the results and operations of the companies now comprising the Group. The consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 included the financial position of the companies now comprising the Group, except for their capital structure which is retrospectively adjusted to reflect the legal capital structure of the Company. The registered capital of the companies now comprising the Group were included in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2024.

 

2.2 Subsidiary

 

Upon completion of the Reorganization and as of the date of issue of these consolidated financial statements, the Company only has one subsidiary as follow:

 

   Date and
place of
incorporation
  Issued
share
   Principal  Percentage of
shareholding %

Agroz Group Sdn. Bhd. (「Agroz Group」)  November 20, 2020 Malaysia   1,000   Offering farm solutions, and selling fresh produce from the CEA vertical farms   100%    

 

F-7

 

 

2.3 Basis of preparation

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (「IFRSs」) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (「IASB」). IFRSs also comprise International Accounting Standards (「IAS」); and Interpretations.

 

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Group’s board of directors on May 22, 2025.

 

The IASB has issued a number of new and revised IFRSs. For the purpose of preparing these financial statements, the Group has adopted all applicable new and revised IFRSs that are effective. The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the reporting periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

 

  a. New and revised IFRSs that are adopted and are effective for the annual accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024

 

  Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

 

  Amendments to IAS 1 - Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

 

  Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier Finance Arrangements

 

  Amendments to IAS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

 

  b. New and revised IFRSs that are not yet effective and have not been early adopted

 

    Effective for
accounting
periods
beginning on or
after
Amendment to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability   January 1, 2025
Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 - Classification and Measurements of Financial Instruments   January 1, 2026
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements   January 1, 2027
IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability Disclosures   January 1, 2027
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture   will be determined at a future date

 

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these developments is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

2.4 Going Concern

 

The Group has evaluated whether there are material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in twelve months from the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2024, cash amounted to MYR 390,500 (USD 87,370). The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2024, the Group recognized a liability of MYR 9,590,370 (USD 2,145,737) in respect of redeemable convertible preference shares, where the shareholders have the rights to request the Company to redeem all of the redeemable convertible preference shares upon maturity date. The aggregate redemption amount for all redeemable preference shares by December 31, 2024 is MYR 10,055,481 (USD 2,249,800). As a result, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

 

The Group is evaluating several strategies and actively pursuing actions aimed to enhance its liquidity position. These actions include pursuing additional cost savings initiatives and seeking additional financing from both public and private markets. In addition, the Group also intends to build up strategic partnerships with other businesses to expand its reach, access new technologies, and leverage complementary strengths through joint ventures, collaborations on specific projects, or licensing agreements. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Group will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Group’s future capital raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or with acceptable terms, if at all. Therefore, the Group has concluded that there is significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern in twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

 

F-8

 

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Group will continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024 do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and reported expenses that may otherwise be required if the going concern basis was not appropriate. Such adjustments could be material.

 

3. Significant accounting policies

 

3.1 Basis of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis. Subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The Group has power over an entity when the Group has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns.

 

When assessing control, the Group considers its potential voting rights as well as potential voting rights held by other parties, to determine whether it has control. A potential voting right is considered only if the holder has the practical ability to exercise that right.

 

A subsidiary is consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. It is deconsolidated from the date the control ceases.

 

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. When necessary, amounts reported by a subsidiary has been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting policies.

 

3.2 Translation of foreign currencies

 

(i) Functional and presentation currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the entity (the 「functional currency」). The functional currency of the Company is United States dollars (「USD 」). As major operations of the Group are within Malaysia, the Group presents its consolidated financial statements in Ringgit Malaysia (MYR ), unless otherwise stated.

 

(ii) Convenience translation

 

Translations of amounts in the consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and consolidated statements of cash flows from MYR into USD as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the noon buying rate of USD 1= MYR 4.4695 on December 31, 2024 as published in H.10 statistical release of the United States Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the MYR amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at such rate or at any other rate.

 

(iii) Transactions and balances

 

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the respective functional currencies of group companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss and presented within other income.

 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

 

(iv) Foreign operations

 

The results of foreign operations are translated into MYR at the exchange rates approximating the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Statements of financial position items are translated into USD at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. The resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated separately in equity in the translation reserve.

 

F-9

 

 

3.3 Trade and other receivables

 

A receivable is recognized when the Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.

 

The Group does not have any receivables that contain significant financing component at the end of each reporting period. Receivables are initially measured at their transaction price. All receivables are subsequently stated at amortized cost and including an allowance for credit losses (see note 3.5).

 

3.4 Trade and other payables

 

Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. Trade and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

 

3.5 Credit losses from financial instruments

 

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit loss (「ECL」) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9 (including trade and other receivables, amounts due from related parties, bank deposits and bank balances).

 

Measurement of ECLs

 

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk. In measuring ECLs, the Group takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

 

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

 

  12-month ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

 

  lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

 

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the reporting date.

 

F-10

 

 

For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

 

Significant increases in credit risk

 

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the reporting date with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition:

 

  failure to make payments of principal or interest on their contractually due dates;

 

  an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if available);

 

  an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

 

  existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Group.

 

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

 

ECLs are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECL amount is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Group recognizes an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

 

3.6 Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (see note 3.9). The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

 

F-11

 

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values if any, over their estimated useful lives and is generally recognized in profit or loss. The useful lives used for this purpose are as follows:

 

  Computer and equipment 3 years
       
  Furniture and fittings 3 years
       
  Fire system 5 years
       
  Motor vehicle 5 years
       
  Renovation shorter of expected lives of office renovation and lease terms

 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.

 

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognized in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

 

3.7 Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortization (where the estimated useful life is finite) and accumulated impairment losses (see note 3.9).

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life and is recognized in profit or loss. The useful life and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at each year end. The useful lives used for this purpose are as follows:

 

  Website 3 years
       
  Software 5 years

 

3.8 Lease

 

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.

 

(i) As a lessee

 

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, except for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with those leases which are not capitalized are recognized as an expense on a systematic basis over the lease term.

 

Where the lease is capitalized, the lease liability is initially recognized at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, using a relevant incremental borrowing rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and hence are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

 

The right-of-use asset recognized when a lease is capitalized is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs incurred. Where applicable, the cost of the right-of-use assets also includes an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, discounted to their present value, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 3.9). Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of right-of-use assets, using the straight-line method over the unexpired lease term.

 

(ii) Sales and leaseback transactions

 

The Group applies IFRS 15 for determining if the transfer of an asset to the buyer (lessor) is to be accounted for as a sale of assets. After the sale of assets is concluded, the Group measures the right-of-use assets arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying value of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the Group. Accordingly, the Group recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer (lessor).

 

F-12

 

 

3.9 Impairment on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets

 

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

 

The recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The fair value less cost to sell is the estimated amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction less disposal costs, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.

 

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

 

3.10 Cash

 

The Group maintains all of its bank accounts in Malaysia and no cash equivalents. Cash are assessed for ECL (see note 3.5).

 

3.11 Development costs

 

CEA vertical farms under development is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realized, less applicable variable selling expenses and anticipated cost to completion. Development cost of CEA vertical farms comprises mainly construction cost and equipment installation work incurred during the development period. On completion, the CEA vertical farms are transferred to completed project held for sale.

 

CEA vertical farms under development is classified as a current asset unless it will not be realized in one normal operating cycle.

 

3.12 Redeemable convertible preference shares

 

Redeemable convertible preference shares (「RCPS」) are with a fixed dividend rate and redeemable at the request of the holders upon the occurrence of a certain redemption event or on the maturity date as agreed in the corresponding shareholders’ agreement. The conversion option embedded, if any, is with a conversion ratio of one RCPSs to one common share of the Company.

 

The Group reviews the term and conditions of the RCPS to conclude whether the RCPSs have the characteristics of:

 

  - A financial liability – when the financial instruments are with contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial assets, including to pay a fixed rate or dividend and/or have a mandatory redemption feature at a future date;

 

  - An equity instrument – when the financial instruments do not have a fixed maturity and the issuer does not have a contractual obligation to make any payment, which represent a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

 

RCPSs without conversion option have been classified as financial liabilities, which are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.

 

F-13

 

 

RCPSs with conversion option have been classified as a compound financial instrument, with liability and equity components. When the initial carrying amount of a compound financial instrument is allocated to its equity and liability components, the equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting from the fair value of the instrument as a whole the amount separately determined for the liability component. The sum of the carrying amounts assigned to the liability and equity components on initial recognition is always equal to the fair value to the instrument as a whole. No gain or loss arises from initially recognizing the components of the instrument separately.

 

Any transaction costs are recognized as finance costs in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

3.13 Revenue and other income

 

Income is classified by the Group as revenue when it arises from the sale of products and the provision of services.

 

Revenue is recognized when control over the product or service is transferred to the customer, at the amount of promised consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for the satisfaction of a specific performance obligation, excluding those amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

 

The Group takes advantage of the practical expedient in paragraph 63 of IFRS 15 and does not adjust the consideration for the effects of any significant financing component if the expected period of financing is 12 months or less.

 

Further details of the Group’s revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:

 

(i) Farm solutions

 

The Group offers a comprehensive set of farm solutions to the customers, which include to sell CEA vertical farm as an integrated project or to provide CEA vertical farms design and construction service separately according to the specific demands from the customers.

 

Designing service of CEA vertical farms

 

Revenue from farm design service, as a single promise, is recognized at a point in time when the relevant services are rendered, generally upon acceptance of the farm layout plan for the customer and the Group has a present right to receive payment. The contract payment is not subject to any variable consideration, refund, cancellation or termination provision. 

 

CEA vertical farms related construction services

 

Revenue from farm related construction service is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as it occurs, and the customer controls the related asset as it is created or enhanced.

 

Under the construction contract, the Group is responsible for providing the overall management of the construction project and identifies goods and services to be provided including procurement, construction, engineering and finishing. The Group identifies only one performance obligation in farm construction service as the goods and services to be provided under the contract are not separately identifiable within the context of the agreement to be distinct performance obligations.

 

The construction revenue is recognized according to the stage of completion of the works. The contract payment is not subject to any variable consideration, refund, cancellation or termination provision. 

 

Farm sales

 

For CEA vertical farms sales contract for which the control of the farm is transferred at a point in time, revenue is recognized upon acceptance of the farm for the customer and the Group has a present right to receive payment. The contract payment is not subject to any variable consideration, refund or return provision.

 

F-14

 

 

(ii)  Management fees
   
  The Group earns management fees by providing professional skills and knowledge to operate and manage CEA vertical farm. Management fee is recognized over the period in which the services are rendered.

 

(iii) Sale of fresh produce

 

Revenue from sale of fresh produce is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with customers from both retailers and distributors, regardless of the customer being a third party or a related party, in exchange for goods delivered. Agroz Group fulfills its sales obligation to its customers by purchasing fresh produce from the farms that it operates and manages, which are owned by related parties. For both sales to retailer and distributor customers, Agroz Group recognized revenue at a point in time when the control is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the vegetables. Agroz Group ensures the quality of its products to meet customers’ requirements and manages delivery of fresh produce to customers. Management determines the transaction price of fresh produce and is responsible for quality of products and customer returns to take the inventory risk. Hence, revenue recognized and billings to customers are at gross.

 

Revenue from the sale of fresh produce is recognized at a point in time when control of the produce is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery of the vegetables.

 

Management also collaborates with third parties who provide platforms for sale of fresh produce. Agroz Group will deliver vegetables to third parties and determine selling price of fresh produce. The Group holds inventory risk before the fresh produce sold to end customers. As Agroz Group acts as principal and determines transaction price of fresh produce, revenue generated from fresh produce is recognized at gross. 

 

(iv)  Interest income

 

For financial assets measured at amortized cost, interest income is measured using the effective interest method and recognized in profit or loss.

 

(v)  Government grants

 

Government grants initially when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized as other income in profit or loss based on the timing of when the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate are incurred.

 

F-15

 

 

3.14 Bank borrowing

 

Bank borrowing was initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Bank borrowing was classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

 

3.15 Finance costs

 

Finance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, comprising fixed-rate dividend of mandatorily redeemable convertible preference shares, interest of lease liabilities, bank and related party borrowing.

 

3.16 Income tax

 

Income tax expense comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods. The amount of current tax payable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

 

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes, deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

 

A deferred tax asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they CAN be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

3.17 Employee benefits

 

(i) Short-term employee benefits

 

Short-term employee benefits are recognized at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employee rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognized as an expense unless IFRSs requires to permit the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset. A liability is recognized for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries, annual leaves and sick leave) after deducting any amount already paid.

 

(ii) Retirement benefit costs

 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

 

(iii) Termination benefits

 

Termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of the dates when the Group CAN no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognizes restructuring costs and involves the payment of termination benefits.

 

3.18 Related parties

 

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

 

  (A) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

 

  (i) has control or joint control over the Group;

 

  (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

3.19 Provisions and contingent liabilities

 

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount CAN be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

 

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

 

The Group does not recognize contingent liabilities, but discloses their existence in the notes to the financial statements. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events which existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.

 

3.20 Share capital

 

(i)Ordinary shares

 

Proceeds from ordinary shares issued are accounted for in equity. Cost directly attributable to the issuance of new equity shares are deducted from equity.

 

(ii)Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

 

 3.21 Classification of current and non-current items

 

An asset is classified as current when:

 

  (a) it expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;

 

  (b) it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;

 

  (c) it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or

 

  (d) the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

 

All other assets as are classified as non-current.

 

  A liability is classified as current when:

 

(i)it expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;

 

(ii)it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;

 

(iii)the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

 

(iv)it does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

 

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

 

F-18

 

 

3.22 Segment reporting

 

Identification of segments is based on internal reporting to the chief operating decision Maker (「CODM」). The CODM for the Group is identified as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer. The Group does not divide its operations into different segments and the CODM operates and manages the Group’s entire operations as one segment, which is consistent with the Group’s internal organization and reporting system. As the Group’s operation and long-lived assets are substantially located in Malaysia, no geographical segments are presented.

 

4. Accounting judgments and estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

(i) Provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables

 

The Group estimates the loss allowances for trade receivables by assessing the ECLs. This requires the use of estimates and judgements. ECLs are based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the end of the reporting period. Where the estimation is different from the original estimate, such difference will affect the carrying amounts of trade receivables and thus the impairment loss in the period in which such estimate is changed. The Group keeps assessing the expected credit loss of trade receivables during their expected lives.

 

(ii) Interest rate used to determine the present value of lease liabilities

 

The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Group’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located.

 

F-19

 

 

(iii) Determining the lease term of a lease

 

The lease liability is initially recognized at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term. In determining the lease term at the commencement date for leases that include renewal options exercisable by the Group, the Group evaluates the likelihood of exercising the renewal options taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the Group to exercise the option, including favorable terms, leasehold improvements undertaken and the importance of that underlying asset to the Group’s operation. The lease term is reassessed when there is a significant event or significant change in circumstance that is within the Group’s control. Any increase or decrease in the lease term would affect the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized in future years.

 

(iv) Redeemable convertible preference shares (「RCPS」)

 

As disclosed in note 3.12, redeemable preference shares without conversion option and carried at a fixed dividend rate, are recognized as financial liabilities measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost. Also, redeemable convertible preference shares with a fixed-to-fixed conversion option and carried at a fixed dividend rate, are classified as Compound financial instruments with a debt host and equity conversion option. The accounting treatment of RCPS involves significant judgement.

 

On the issuance dates of the RCPS, the Group determined the carrying amount of the financial liabilities by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component using valuation technique. It involves a number of valuation assumptions relating to market risks and the Company’s specific risk premium. The valuation technique used to derive the liability component of the RCPS, as disclosed in note 13, involves significant estimates. Any change in such assumptions and judgement would affect the carrying amounts of the liability component to be recognized and hence the net profit in future years.

 

(v) Revenue recognition for construction service in progress at period end

 

Revenue from farm related construction service is recognized over contract period by reference to construction progress, which is determined on the stage of completion method. The stage of completion of a construction contract is determined based on the proportion that the contract costs incurred for work performed to-date bear to the total costs for the contract by referring to construction budgets and sub-contractors’ quotations.

Notes:

 

(i) Property - right-of-use assets

 

The Group leases three properties (2023: two) to place CEA vertical farms and office with two of the leases with lease term of three years and a lease with a lease term of two years (2023: three years). For all three leases, the Company has the option to renew the lease for another three years.

  

(ii) Farm - right-of-use assets

 

In 2021, the Group sold a CEA vertical farm to a customer and later leased back the farm from the customer with a lease term of 2 years. The transactions are accounted as a sale-and-leaseback transaction under IFRS 16. There is no option to renew and the lease ended in April 30, 2023.

(a) Agroz Group RCPS (「AG RCPS」)

 

Between April 12, 2021 and April 14, 2023, Agroz Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had issued 7 tranches of mandatorily redeemable convertible preference shares (「AG RCPS」), totally 3,000,000 shares, for cash considerations of MYR 3,000,000. Among them, 2,000,000 shares of MYR 2,000,000 and 500,000 shares of MYR 500,000 were issued during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. There is no transaction during the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

All tranches of the AG RCPS are with identical agreement terms, as presented below:

 

Subscription Price

 

Each AG RCPS value is MYR 1.

 

Tenure and Maturity Date

 

The tenure is up to 60 months from the date of first issuance. The maturity date shall fall on the last day of the period of 5 years from the date of first issuance.

 

Dividend

 

The subscriber is entitled to:

 

(a) a fixed non-accumulated dividend of 10.0% per annum, of which Agroz Group has made a promise on declaration; or

 

(b) Equivalent value of services or products offered by Agroz Group; or

 

(c) Combination of (a) and (b) based on mutual agreement.

 

Redemption

 

The subscriber shall have the sole and absolute discretion to require Agroz Group to redeem the AG RCPS on maturity date by repayment of the subscription price paid for the AG RCPS together with dividends committed to the subscribers.

 

On December 1, 2023 (「Redemption Date」), the Group decided to redeem all AG RCPS and agreed with the subscribers of AG RCPS to settle the redemption along with the related unpaid dividends by issuing 336,366 shares of Agroz Inc. RCPS (「AI RCPS」) which had a fair value MYR 3,882,500 (USD 840,915). The fair value of AI RCPS was based on a value of USD 2.50 a share which was the price this class of shares were sold to unrelated parties. On the Redemption Date, the net book value of AG RCPS along with the related unpaid dividends was MYR 3,177,600. The difference between the fair value of the AI RCPS and the net book value of AG RCPS of MYR 704,900 was recognized as a finance cost for the year ended December 31, 2023. On December 22, 2023, all AG RCPS was settled.

(b) Agroz Inc. RCPS (「AI RCPS」)

 

Between August 12, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Company sold 268,504 shares AI RCPS at USD 2.50 a share for USD 671,260 or MYR 3,109,483.

 

Taking into consideration the conversion described above, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had issued a total of 604,870 AI RCPS with a fair value of MYR 6,942,953.

 

To expand the capital structure of Agroz Inc., the management had successfully issued 714,979 units of AI RCPS at USD 2.50 per share for MYR 7,989,890 (USD 1,787,647) during the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain shareholders have opted to convert 419,929 units of AI RCPS to 419,929 units of ordinary shares which amounted to MYR 4,389,989 (USD 982,210).

 

On the issuance dates, the Group first determined the carrying amount of the liability component by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The carrying amount of the equity instrument represented by the option to convert the instrument into ordinary shares is then determined by deducting the fair value of the financial liability from the fair value of the Compound financial instrument as a whole.

 

The key valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of a similar liability on initial recognition are as follows:

15. Financial risk management and fair values of financial instruments

 

Exposure to credit, liquidity, currency and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business. The Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Group to manage these risks are described below.

 

(a) Credit risk

 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables, prepayments, other receivables and amounts due from related parties. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from cash is limited due to cash deposit with financial institutions in Malaysia is subject to certain protection under the requirement of the deposit insurance system. These financial institutions are banks with high-credit-quality, for which the Group considers to have low credit risk.

 

(i) Trade receivables

 

Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates. Trade receivables are due within 30 to 180 days from the date of billing. Normally, the Group does not obtain collateral from customers.

 

The Group’s trade receivables mainly derive from farm solution sales and fresh vegetable sales. When assessing credit risk exposure, the Group classifies its customers into three categories upon their credit characteristics, including whether they are related parties, and, for third party customers, whether they are retail outlet customers or industrial business customers.

(1) Third-party retail outlet customers

 

For trade receivables related to third-party retail outlet customers, the Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience over the past 2 years. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

 

Based on the historical collection and experience, the Group is able to collect all its outstanding receivables for December 31, 2024 within one year from third-party retail outlet customers. 

 

The following tables provide information about the Group’s exposure to credit risk and ECL for trade receivables related to third-party retail outlet customers as of December 31, 2023 and 2024:

(2) Third-party industrial business customers

 

For trade receivables related to third-party industrial business customers, the Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a behavioral scoring system taking into consideration current and historical credit worthiness, aging analysis, operating history in the relevant industry, reputation in the market and paid-in capital scale. Customers with positive behavior in all scoring areas, would be assigned a low-risk grading. Customers with positive behavior in most of the scoring areas, would be assigned a fair-risk grading. Customers with lesser positive behavior in scoring areas, would be assigned a substantial grading. Management conducts the review periodically or updates assessments promptly upon significant changes in customers’ credit risk.

 

Based on the historical collection and experience, the Group is able to collect all its outstanding receivables for December 31, 2024 within one year from third party industrial business customers. 

 

The following tables provide information about the Group’s exposure to credit risk and ECL for trade receivables related to third-party industrial business customers as of December 31, 2023 and 2024:

(3) Related party customers

 

For trade receivables from related parties, the Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a behavioral scoring system similar to the one applied to third-party industrial business customers.

 

Based on the historical collection and experience, the Group is able to collect all its outstanding receivables for December 31, 2024 within one year from related party customers.

(4) Movement of ECL

 

   MYR 
As of January 1, 2023   15,682 
Provision for expected credit loss on trade receivables   66,915 
As of December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2024   82,597 
Provision for expected credit loss on trade receivables   661,263 
As of December 31, 2024   743,860 
As of December 31, 2024 (USD )   166,430 

 

In addition, the Group’s exposure to credit risk is also influenced by the individual characteristics of each customer and therefore significant concentrations of credit risk arise when the Group has significant exposure to individual customers. At December 31, 2024, 95.92% (2023: 96.08%) of the total trade receivables were due from the Group’s five largest debtors, respectively.

 

(ii) Prepayments, deposits and other receivables and amounts due from related parties

 

Prepayments, deposits and other receivables and amounts due from related parties are reviewed regularly, for which the Group considers to have low credit risk.

 

F-35

 

 

(b) Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group does not account for any fixed-rate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss at the end of each reporting periods. Therefore, interest-bearing financial instruments at fixed rates do not expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from cash at bank at variable rates. If interest rates on cash at bank had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit for the year would increase/decrease by approximately MYR 1,953 (USD 437) (2023: MYR 546).

 

The Group’s risk management objective for interest rate risk is to reduce the exposure to variability of cash flows arising from changes in interest rates. Interest rates on the Groups lease contracts and bank borrowing are fixed and thus not sensitive to fluctuation in market interest rates.

 

(c) Liquidity risk

 

The Group manages its risk to a shortage of funds by monitoring the projected cash flows from operations. Risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash balances. The Group generates cash flow through offering farm solutions and selling fresh produce from the CEA vertical farms. Changes in market acceptance of CEA vertical farms could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s liquidity position. Due to the dynamic of the underlying business, the cash required to maintain the daily operation of the Group mainly via funding from shareholders.

 

The following tables show the remaining contractual maturities at the end of the years presented of the Group’s financial liabilities, which are based on contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest payments computed using contracted rates) and the earliest date the Group can be required to pay.

(d) Currency Risk

 

The principal activities of the Group were carried out by Agroz Group with most of the transactions originally denominated and settled in Malaysian Ringgit. AG RCPS issued by Agroz Group were denominated in Malaysian Ringgit, and AI RCPS issued by the Company were denominated in United States dollars. Given financial instruments of the Group were all denominated in functional currency, the Group’s currency risk exposure was insignificant.

 

(e) Fair value measurement

 

The fair value of the Group’s financial instruments was measured at the end of the reporting period on a recurring basis. IFRS 13 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1 valuations: Fair value measured using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  Level 2 valuations: Fair value measured using inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

  Level 3 valuations: Fair value measured using significant unobservable inputs.

 

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consisted of cash, trade receivables, prepayments and other receivables, amounts due from related parties, trade payables, other payables, bank borrowings, amounts due to related parties and redeemable convertible preference shares. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the carrying amounts of financial instruments approximated to their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments or repayable on demand, or that they are interest-bearing at market rates or approximants.

Braiven Co., Ltd. (b)(ii)(vi)   Significantly influenced by key management of the Group*
     
HWG Cash (b)(ii)(vii)   Under common control of Mr. Lim Chun Hoo and ceased to be a shareholder in January 2024
     
Agroz Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (b)(ii)(i)   Significantly influenced by Agroz Group** 
     
Agroz Vertical Farms Sdn. Bhd. (b)(ii)(v)   Significantly influenced by Agroz Group** 
     
Agroz Asia Sdn. Bhd.   Under common control of the controlling shareholder
     
Ahoku Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (b)(ii)(ix)   Under common control of the controlling shareholder

 

* Mr. Gerard Kim Meng Lim or key management of the Group holds a voting interest of 10% or more and has the right to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the applicable company, but does not have control.

 

** Agroz Group’s shareholdings of 19% in each of Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms are proxy holdings, with such shares held in trust. While shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting power in an entity are presumed to have a significant influence on the entity under Item 7B of Form 20-F, under International Accounting Standards (「IAS」) 28 and International Financial Reporting Standards (「IFRS」) 9, significant influence requires a holding of 20% or more in voting power. Agroz Group does not possess any Director nomination rights, voting power, or decision-making influence on the Board of Directors of either Agroz Ventures or Agroz Vertical Farms. Although Agroz Group meets the significant influence presumption under Item 7B of Form 20-F, it does not meet the criteria under IAS 28 and IFRS 9 for significant influence. Therefore, Agroz Group does not believe these proxy holdings should be accounted under equity method. These proxy holdings additionally do not meet the criteria of assets under IASB Framework. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Agroz Group Sdn Bhd, pursuant to agreements with each of these entities, agreed to operate vertical farms based on guidelines and instructions from Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms’ management teams, in return for a share of such vertical farms’ revenue. Such revenue is received by Agroz Group in consideration of the services Agroz Group provides and the license it grants to use its technology. Agroz Group does not make management decisions on behalf of Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms in the operation of such vertical farms, and in such capacity, Agroz Group exercises no control over Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms in accordance to IFRS 10. This is because Agroz Group does not have the power or ability to direct such related parties’ activities, which activities would affect investee’s return. Agroz Group also has no purchase or funding obligations to Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms. While IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers will be applied for Agroz Group’s performance obligations under such agreements (i.e., operating Agroz Ventures and Agroz Vertical Farms’ vertical farms), the transaction price for Agroz Group’s performance obligations is share of revenue on inhouse produced vegetable sales revenue to other parties except Agroz as management fee. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the management fee earned on vegetable sales revenue is insignificant. There was no management fee earned for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, the Group has remaining contractual commitment amounted to MYR 13,313,961 (USD 2,978,848), mainly arising from certain purchase contracts of IT software such as E-commerce website design, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and Robotics AI Platform.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

Indemnification

 

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association permits indemnification of current and former officers and directors, for the time being, of the Company for all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses incurred or sustained by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from the actual fraud or willful default of such person. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the DGCL for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

 

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.

 

Item 9. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the 「Calculation of Registration Fee」 table in the effective registration statement.

 

  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

 

II-5

 

 

  5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;

 

  6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the placement method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424.

 

  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  

  8) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, (i) the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (ii) each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
