The notes have a 24-month term and bear interest at 10% per annum (subject to increase upon an event of default), and are convertible into Class A ordinary shares at a conversion price determined by a formula that includes a floor price and a variable discount to recent trading prices, subject to customary adjustments and beneficial ownership limitations. The warrants are exercisable for up to five years after issuance, include a cash exercise feature (and, in certain circumstances, a cashless exercise), and have an initial exercise price subject to adjustment. The initial closing occurred on March 2, 2026, at which time the Company received net proceeds of $4,105,000. The Company disclosed that the proceeds from the initial tranche were expected to be used primarily for working capital purposes, including the repayment of the Company’s January 2026 secured promissory note to the extent outstanding, as well as investor relations/public relations activities and the purchase of preferred stock of an affiliate of the lead investor, in each case subject to the terms of the transaction.

 

During March 2026, holders exercised a series of partial conversions of the Convertible Notes and exercises of the Warrants. An aggregate principal amount of $375,000 of Convertible Notes, together with approximately $760 of accrued interest, was converted into an aggregate of 76,347 (3,817,336 prior to 50-for-1 reverse share split) Class A Ordinary Shares between March 9, 2026 and March 12, 2026. In addition, holders exercised warrants relating to an aggregate of 25,080,000 underlying warrant shares between March 2, 2026 and March 19, 2026, resulting in the issuance of 624,829(31,241,443 prior to 50-for-1 reverse share split) Class A Ordinary Shares on a cashless exercise basis. In total, the Company issued 701,176 (35,058,779 prior to 50-for-1 reverse share split) Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with such March 2026 Convertible Note conversions and Warrant exercises. Subsequently, on April 13, 2026, an additional warrant was exercised on a cashless basis for 50,000 warrant shares, resulting in the issuance of 44,022 Class A Ordinary Shares.

Share Purchase Agreement

 

On March 18, 2026, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Ault & Company, Inc. (“Ault”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to 250,000 shares of Ault’s Series C Redeemable Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, for a maximum aggregate investment amount of $250 million (the “Transaction”). The Company’s purchase obligation is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the delivery of drawdown notices in accordance with the agreement. The Transaction contemplates multiple closings, and the “Termination Date” is defined as the date of the final Subsequent Tranche Closing Date, which shall be no later than two years from the Initial Tranche Closing Date. In connection with the Initial Tranche Closing on February 27, 2026, $1 million of the Initial Tranche proceeds was designated for the purchase of Ault preferred stock. As the definitive transaction documents had not yet been executed and delivered as of the Initial Tranche Closing Date, such amount was deposited with an escrow agent in March 2026 pending the satisfaction of the applicable release conditions. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the escrowed funds will be released to complete the preferred stock purchase.

 

Reverse Stock Split (March 2026)

 

On March 19, 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on March 23, 2026 under the ticker symbol “YYGH,” and the Company’s Class A ordinary shares were assigned a new CUSIP number (G9888Q111).

 

Upon effectiveness of the reverse stock split, every fifty (50) issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares were combined into one (1) issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, with no change to the no-par value per share. The reverse stock split reduced the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares from approximately 213.4 million to approximately 4.3 million. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and shareholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share received one full share. The reverse stock split was primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its Nasdaq listing.
