In exchange for Mr. Hon’s services, the Company will pay Mr. Hon a consulting fee of HK$182,520 per month. The consulting agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions, for the benefit of the Company. The foregoing summary of certain terms of the consulting agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2021.
