(iii) | WHEREAS, the Shareholders have discussed and analysed the benefits of changing the jurisdiction of the Moove Group’s holding company, and have decided to transfer all of CLI’s assets into a new holding company incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands, which shall succeed CLI in all of its rights and obligations, leading subsequently to CLI’s dissolution (“Reorganisation”); |
