EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 6 is being filed solely for the purpose of filing exhibit 23.1 to this registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-287861), or the Registration Statement, and to amend and restate the exhibit index set forth in Part II of the Registration Statement. No changes have been made to the Registration Statement other than this explanatory note as well as revised versions of the cover page and Part II of the Registration Statement. This Amendment No. 6 does not contain copies of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, which remains unchanged from Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement filed on August 21, 2025, and consists only of the cover page, this explanatory note and Part II of the Registration Statement.
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6. Exculpation, Insurance, and Indemnification of Office Holders (Including Directors and Officers).
British Virgin 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 British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Under our memorandum and articles,
British Virgin Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the British Virgin Islands courts to be contrary to the public interest, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that we shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings for any person who:
• is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was our director; or
• is or was, at our request, serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
These indemnities only apply if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to 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.
Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
We have issued the following securities which were not registered under the Securities Act. We believe that each of the following issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions.
On April 16, 2024, 1 Ordinary Share was issued to Mr. Ngai Chiu Wong for consideration of US$1. On October 9, 2024, 99,999 Ordinary Shares were issued to Mr. Ngai Chiu Wong for consideration of US$1. On October 14, 2024, Mr. Wong sold, in aggregate, 19,550 Ordinary Shares to 6 investors. On February 14, 2025, the Company resolved and approved a share subdivision at a ratio of 1-for-110 Ordinary Shares. Immediately following the aforesaid share subdivision, the Company then resolved and approved to cancel the then outstanding Ordinary Shares issued, and in consideration of such cancellation, issued (i) 500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 8,349,500 Class B Ordinary Shares to Mr. Ngai Chiu Wong, and (ii) in aggregate, 2,150,500 Class A Ordinary Shares to the other shareholders.
On May 9, 2025, (i) Mr. Ngai Chiu Wong surrendered 4,900,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Company, (ii) the Company repurchased 700,000 Class B Ordinary Shares from Mr. Ngai Chiu Wong and issued 700,000 Class A ordinary Shares to him as consideration. On May 13, 2025, Mr. Ngai Chiu Wong and 4 other shareholders sold, in aggregate, 1,705,500 Class A Ordinary Shares to 6 investors. On May 15, 2025, the Company resolved and approved a share subdivision at a ratio of 1-for-3 Class A Ordinary Shares and 1-for-3 Class B Ordinary Shares.
No underwriter or underwriting discount or commission was involved in any of the transactions set forth in Item 7.
All of the foregoing issuances were made outside of the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S or to U.S. entities pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
(a) Exhibits
The exhibits of the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement and are incorporated herein by reference.
(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 combined financial statements or the notes thereto.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(b) 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 that 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.
(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
