We are looking forward to providing you with more detailed information about the Being AI Group in the next few weeks.

The Board considers that the Transaction represents a unique opportunity for the Company and its shareholders, and requests that all shareholders read the Listing Profile Document, Independent Advisor’s Report and Appraisal Report, and Notice of Special Meeting that will be sent out to you this month.
