Prospectus
Supplement Summary
The
following summary highlights basic information about our Company and this offering. This summary provides an overview of selected information
and does not contain all of the information you should consider before buying our ordinary shares. Therefore, you should read the entire
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the information in our filings with the SEC incorporated by
reference herein and therein, before deciding to invest in our ordinary shares. Investors should carefully consider the information set
forth under “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and page 5 of the accompanying prospectus
and those risks identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Our
Business
We
are a Cayman Islands specialty property and casualty reinsurer that provides reinsurance solutions through our subsidiaries, Oxbridge
Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge RE NS. We focus on underwriting fully-collateralized reinsurance contracts primarily for property and
casualty insurance companies in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, and from time to time, we may undertake global exposure through
industry loss warranty (“ILW”) contracts. We specialize in underwriting medium frequency, high severity risks, where we believe
sufficient data exists to analyze effectively the risk/return profile of reinsurance contracts. We were organized in April 2013 as an
exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
We
underwrite reinsurance contracts on a selective and opportunistic basis as opportunities arise based on our goal of achieving favorable
long-term returns on equity for our shareholders. Our goal is to achieve long-term growth in book value per share by writing business
that generates attractive underwriting profits relative to the risk we bear. Additionally, we intend to complement our underwriting profits
with investment profits on an opportunistic basis.
Our
primary business focus is on fully collateralized reinsurance contracts for property catastrophes, primarily in the Gulf Coast region
of the United States.
Within
that market and risk category, we attempt to select the most economically attractive opportunities across a variety of property and casualty
insurers. As we attempt to grow our capital base, we expect that we will consider growth opportunities in other geographic areas and
risk categories.
Our
level of profitability is primarily determined by how adequately our premiums assumed and investment income cover our costs and expenses,
which consist primarily of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, claim payments and general and administrative expenses.
One factor leading to variation in our operational results is the timing and magnitude of any follow-on offerings we undertake (if any),
and issuance of participating notes to third-party investors, as we would be able to deploy new capital to collateralize new reinsurance
treaties and consequently, earn additional premium revenue. In addition, our results of operations may be seasonal in that hurricanes
and other tropical storms typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30. Further, our results of operations may be
subject to significant variations due to factors affecting the property and casualty insurance industry in general, which include competition,
legislation, regulation, general economic conditions, judicial trends, and fluctuations in interest rates and other changes in the investment
environment.
Because
we employ an opportunistic underwriting and investment philosophy, period-to-period comparisons of our underwriting results may not be
meaningful. In addition, our historical investment results may not necessarily be indicative of future performance. Due to the nature
of our reinsurance and investment strategies, our operating results will likely fluctuate from period to period.
We
organized our Oxbridge Re NS subsidiary on December 22, 2017 to function as a reinsurance sidecar which increases the underwriting capacity
of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. Oxbridge Re NS commenced operations on June 1, 2018 and has since issued participating notes to third-party
and related-party investors, the proceeds of which were utilized to collateralize a quota-share of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited’s
reinsurance obligations.
In
August 2021, we made an investment of $2,000,000 in OAC Sponsor Ltd (“Sponsor”), an entity that served as the sponsor of
Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company that completed an initial public offering in August 2021 (“Oxbridge
Acquisition”). The investment was made to fund, in part, Sponsor’s purchase of private placement warrants of Oxbridge Acquisition
as a part of the sponsorship of Oxbridge Acquisition. Prior to a business combination by Oxbridge Acquisition, Sponsor holds 100% of
the shares of Class B ordinary shares and 4,897,500 Private Placement Warrants of Oxbridge Acquisition. The Class B shares equal approximately
20% of the outstanding common stock of Oxbridge Acquisition prior to a business combination by Oxbridge Acquisition.
Recent Hurricane Activity
On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made
landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane causing catastrophic flooding and damage. The Company estimates, as of September 30, 2022,
that the maximum impact to its capital relating to the expected underwriting losses from Hurricane Ian is expected to be $500,000. The
Company’s estimate is preliminary and is based on the amount of capital at risk and preliminary industry assessments of damages
and exposure. Accordingly, the Company’s actual ultimate net loss from Ian may be lower (but not higher) than this preliminary
estimate
Business
Outlook
The
novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have a significant effect on the reinsurance
industry. The industry is currently being impacted by a number of factors including: uncertainties with respect to current and future
losses, reduction in interest rates, equity market volatility and ongoing business and financial market impacts of an economic downturn.
The insurance industry is likely to experience material losses resulting from COVID-19, which will reduce available capital and we expect
will help to sustain the upward pricing trend for reinsurers that we were seeing across many lines of business before COVID-19. However,
the ultimate impact on current business in force as well as risks and potential opportunities on future business remains highly uncertain.
Corporate
and Other Information
The
Company was incorporated as an exempted company on April 4, 2013 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited owns
100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited, an exempted entity incorporated on April 23, 2013 under the laws of the
Cayman Islands and for which a Class “C” Insurer’s license was granted on April 29, 2013, under the provisions of the
Cayman Islands Insurance Law. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited also owns 100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Re NS, an entity incorporated
as an exempted company on December 22, 2017 under the laws of the Cayman Islands to function as a reinsurance sidecar facility and to
increase the underwriting capacity of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. The Company, through its subsidiaries (collectively “Oxbridge
Re”) provides fully-collateralized reinsurance in the property catastrophe market and invests in various insurance-linked securities.
The Company operates as a single business segment through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The
Company’s headquarters and principal executive offices are located at Suite 201, 42 Edward Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman
Islands, and have registered offices at P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Our website is located at www.oxbridgere.com.

Risk
Factors
An
investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should
carefully consider the specific risk factors discussed below as well as the risk factors discussed under the sections entitled “Risk
Factor Summary” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and
our subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings we make under
the Exchange Act, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement in its entirety, together with all of the
other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the documents
incorporated by reference herein and therein, and any related free writing prospectuses we may issue. The risks and uncertainties we
have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also affect our operations. If any such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected. In such cases, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline, and you may lose all
or part of your investment.
Risks
Related to this Offering
Management
will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may use the proceeds in ways in which you and other
shareholders may disagree.
We
have not designated any amount of the net proceeds we will receive from this offering for any particular purpose. Accordingly, our management
will have broad discretion as to the application of such net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at
the time of this offering. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend such
net proceeds. In addition, such proceeds could be applied in ways that do not improve our operating results or increase the value of
your investment. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, delay the development
and commercialization of our products and cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.
Investors
in this offering may suffer immediate and substantial dilution.
Because
the price per ordinary share in this offering may be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per ordinary share, investors
in this offering may suffer immediate and substantial dilution. The shares in this offering will be sold at market prices which may fluctuate
substantially. Please refer to the section entitled “Dilution” below.
The
actual number of shares we will issue in this offering under the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent, at any one time or in total, is
uncertain.
Subject
to certain limitations set forth in the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion
to deliver issuance notices to the Sales Agent at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are
sold by the Sales Agent, if any, after we deliver an issuance notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our ordinary shares
during the period during which sales are made and the limits we set with the Sales Agent.
Sales
of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.
We
may issue and sell additional ordinary shares in the public markets, including during this offering. As a result, a substantial number
of our ordinary shares may be sold in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares in the public markets,
including during this offering, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of our ordinary shares
and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or the exercise of our outstanding options or warrants.
In
order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional of our ordinary shares or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our ordinary shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell our ordinary
shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares in any other offering at a price per share that is
less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing our ordinary shares or other securities in
the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The exercise of our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect
our stock price due to sales of a large number of our ordinary shares or the perception that such sales could occur. These factors also
could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of our securities, and could adversely impact the terms under which
we could obtain additional equity capital. Exercise of outstanding options and warrants or any future issuance of additional ordinary
shares or other equity securities, including but not limited to options, warrants or other derivative securities convertible into our
ordinary shares, may result in significant dilution to our shareholders and may decrease our stock price.
The
ordinary shares offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times
will likely pay different prices.
Investors
who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in
their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices and numbers of shares sold, and
the Sales Agreement does not specify any required minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of
their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
Use
of Proceeds
In
accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we may issue and
sell our ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $6.3 million from time to time through or to the Sales Agent. The
amount of proceeds we will receive from this offering, if any, will depend upon the actual number of our ordinary shares sold and the
market price at which such shares are sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering,
the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time.
We
intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of our reinsurance operations.
Pending
their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments
or hold them as cash.
Our
management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment
of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds.
Dilution
If
you purchase any of the ordinary shares offered by this prospectus supplement, you may experience dilution to the extent of the difference
between the offering price per share you pay in this offering and the adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share immediately
after this offering.
Our
historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $16.4 million, or approximately $2.84 per outstanding ordinary
share. “Net tangible book value” is total assets, minus intangible assets, minus total liabilities. “Net tangible book
value per share” is net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding.
The
shares in this offering will be sold at market prices which may fluctuate substantially. For purposes of calculating dilution, we have
assumed a sale price of $2.06 per share, which was the closing price of our stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on September
28, 2022. However, since the shares may be sold at a variety of prices, these dilution numbers are merely an example of potential
dilutive (or accretive) effect based on the assumed sales price.
After giving effect to adjustments relating to the
offering and assuming the sale of $6.3 million of our ordinary shares at an assumed offering price of $2.06 per share (the closing
price of our ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of September 28, 2022), our adjusted net tangible book value on June
30, 2022 would have been approximately $22.35 million or $2.53 per share. The adjustments made to determine adjusted net tangible
book value per share are the following:
|
● |
An
increase in total assets to reflect the net proceeds of the offering after deducting commissions and our estimated offering expenses;
and |
|
|
|
|
● |
The
addition of 3,058,252 shares offered by this prospectus supplement, assuming the offer and sale of $6.3 million of our ordinary
shares (based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market on September 28, 2022), to the number
of shares outstanding. |
The following table illustrates the decrease in net
tangible book value of $0.31 per share to existing shareholders and the immediate accretion of $0.47 per share (the difference
between the assumed offering price per share and the adjusted net tangible book value per share) to new investors based on an assumed
offering price of $2.06 per share:
Assumed
public offering price per share | |
$ | 2.06 | | |
| | |
Net
tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2022 | |
| | | |
$ | 2.84 | |
Decrease
in net tangible book value per share attributable to the offering | |
$ | | | |
$ | 0.31 | |
Adjusted
net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2022, after giving effect to the offering | |
$ | 2.53 | | |
| | |
Accretion
per share to new investors in the offering | |
$ | 0.47 | | |
| | |
The
foregoing table is based on 5,781,587 shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022. This number of shares excludes:
|
● |
8,230,700
of our ordinary shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of our outstanding warrants as of June 30, 2022, with an exercise price
of $7.50 per share; |
|
|
|
|
● |
896,250
of our ordinary shares reserved, as of June 30, 2022, for future issuance upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase ordinary
shares, with a weighted average exercise price of $4.71; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
995,750
of our ordinary shares reserved, as of June 30, 2022, for future grants of awards under our equity incentive plans. |
Each $1.00 increase in the assumed public offering
price of $2.06 per share, which was the closing price of our ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market on September 28,
2022, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by an additional $0.32, which at
an assumed offering price of $3.06 per share would result dilution to investors participating in this offering of $0.21,
assuming that the dollar amount of ordinary shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same,
and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. On the other hand,
each $1.00 decrease in the assumed public offering price of $2.06 per share would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value
per share after this offering by an additional $0.62, which at an assumed offering price of $1.06 would result in accretion
per share to investors participating in this offering of $0.85 per share, respectively, assuming that the number of ordinary shares
offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
To
the extent that outstanding warrants or options are exercised, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise
additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current
or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities,
the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.
Plan
of Distribution
We
have entered into the Sales Agreement with Maxim as the Agent, under which we may issue and sell shares of our ordinary shares, through
the Agent, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $6.3 million from time to time. Sales of our ordinary shares, if any, under
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made by any method that is deemed an “at the market offering”
as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct the Agent not to sell ordinary shares if the sales cannot
be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or the Agent may suspend the offering of ordinary shares upon
notice and subject to other conditions.
The
Agent will offer our ordinary shares subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement as agreed upon by us and the Agent. Each
time we wish to issue and sell ordinary shares under the Sales Agreement, we will notify the Agent of the number or dollar value of shares
to be issued, the time period during which such sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold
in one day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and other sales parameters as we deem appropriate. Once we have so instructed
the Agent, unless the Agent declines to accept the terms of the notice, the Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts
consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations
of the Agent under the Sales Agreement to sell our ordinary shares are subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.
We
will pay the Agent a commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of ordinary shares at a commission rate of 3.0% of the
gross sales price per share sold. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual
total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse
the Agent for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $35,000
and up to $2,000 per calendar quarter so long as the Sales Agreement remains effective and sales of shares thereunder have not been suspended.
We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding commissions and reimbursements payable to the Agent under the terms of
the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $121,000.
Settlement
for sales of ordinary shares will generally occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some
other date that is agreed upon by us and the Agent in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds
to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
In
connection with the sale of the ordinary shares on our behalf, the Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed
to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
The
offering of our ordinary shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of our ordinary
shares subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement as provided therein.
Maxim
and its affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our
affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, Maxim will not
engage in any market making activities involving our shares of our ordinary shares while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Legal
Matters
The
validity under Cayman Islands law of the ordinary shares being offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Maples and Calder (Cayman)
LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel. Polsinelli PC is acting as counsel for Maxim Group LLC in connection with various legal matters
relating to the ordinary shares offered hereby.

CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus, any prospectus supplement and/or any other offering material, and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
any prospectus supplement and/or any other offering material, contain forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor
from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E
of the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
any prospectus supplement and/or any other offering material, including, without limitation, estimates, projections, outlook, guidance,
statements relating to our business plans, strategy, objectives, expected operating results and future financial position, and the assumptions
upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the
words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “forecast,”
“outlook,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,”
“would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result” or the negative thereof or
variations thereon or similar terminology generally intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these identifying words.
Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the
times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at
the time those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject
to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by
the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, factors discussed
under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,” and “Business” in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as may be revised or supplemented by our
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, each of which are on file with the SEC and incorporated by
reference.
Forward-looking
statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from any future results, performances, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These
risks include, but are not limited to, those listed below and those discussed in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors”
below:
| ● | the
fluctuation of our operating results; |
| ● | our
ability to raise additional capital; |
| ● | the
highly competitive business environment; |
| ● | the
cyclical nature of the reinsurance market; |
| ● | the
possibility that our actual losses may exceed our reserves; |
| ● | our
ability to maintain sufficient collateral accounts; |
| ● | the
failure to become rated by A.M. Best, or the receipt of a negative rating; |
| ● | our
exposure to catastrophic events; |
| ● | changes
in domestic or foreign laws or regulations or their interpretations; |
| ● | our
ability to qualify for an exemption from the Investment Company Act; |
| ● | changes
in accounting principles or the application of such principals by accountants or regulators; |
| ● | the
low volume of public trading of our securities; and |
other
factors that may affect us, most of which are beyond our control.
Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition or operating results.
The
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which
any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus summarizes certain information about our company. It may not
contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read carefully the entire prospectus
and the other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
Our
Business
We
are a Cayman Islands specialty property and casualty reinsurer that provides reinsurance solutions through our subsidiaries, Oxbridge
Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge RE NS. We focus on underwriting fully-collateralized reinsurance contracts primarily for property and
casualty insurance companies in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, and from time to time, we may undertake global exposure through
industry loss warranty (“ILW”) contracts. We specialize in underwriting medium frequency, high severity risks, where we believe
sufficient data exists to analyze effectively the risk/return profile of reinsurance contracts. We were organized in April 2013 as an
exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
We
underwrite reinsurance contracts on a selective and opportunistic basis as opportunities arise based on our goal of achieving favorable
long-term returns on equity for our shareholders. Our goal is to achieve long-term growth in book value per share by writing business
that generates attractive underwriting profits relative to the risk we bear. Additionally, we intend to complement our underwriting profits
with investment profits on an opportunistic basis.
Our
primary business focus is on fully collateralized reinsurance contracts for property catastrophes, primarily in the Gulf Coast region
of the United States.
Within
that market and risk category, we attempt to select the most economically attractive opportunities across a variety of property and casualty
insurers. As we attempt to grow our capital base, we expect that we will consider growth opportunities in other geographic areas and
risk categories.
Our
level of profitability is primarily determined by how adequately our premiums assumed and investment income cover our costs and expenses,
which consist primarily of acquisition costs and other underwriting expenses, claim payments and general and administrative expenses.
One factor leading to variation in our operational results is the timing and magnitude of any follow-on offerings we undertake (if any),
and issuance of participating notes to third-party investors, as we would be able to deploy new capital to collateralize new reinsurance
treaties and consequently, earn additional premium revenue. In addition, our results of operations may be seasonal in that hurricanes
and other tropical storms typically occur during the period from June 1 through November 30. Further, our results of operations may be
subject to significant variations due to factors affecting the property and casualty insurance industry in general, which include competition,
legislation, regulation, general economic conditions, judicial trends, and fluctuations in interest rates and other changes in the investment
environment.
Because
we employ an opportunistic underwriting and investment philosophy, period-to-period comparisons of our underwriting results may not be
meaningful. In addition, our historical investment results may not necessarily be indicative of future performance. Due to the nature
of our reinsurance and investment strategies, our operating results will likely fluctuate from period to period.
We
organized our Oxbridge Re NS subsidiary on December 22, 2017 to function as a reinsurance sidecar which increases the underwriting capacity
of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. Oxbridge Re NS commenced operations on June 1, 2018 and has since issued participating notes to third-party
and related-party investors, the proceeds of which were utilized to collateralize a quota-share of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited’s
reinsurance obligations.
In
August 2021, we made an investment of $2,000,000 in OAC Sponsor Ltd (“Sponsor”), an entity that served as the sponsor of
Oxbridge Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company that completed an initial public offering in August 2021 (“Oxbridge
Acquisition”). The investment was made to fund, in part, Sponsor’s purchase of private placement warrants of Oxbridge Acquisition
as a part of the sponsorship of Oxbridge Acquisition. Prior to a business combination by Oxbridge Acquisition, Sponsor holds 100% of
the shares of Class B ordinary shares and 4,897,500 Private Placement Warrants of Oxbridge Acquisition. The Class B shares equal approximately
20% of the outstanding common stock of Oxbridge Acquisition prior to a business combination by Oxbridge Acquisition.
Business
outlook
The
novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have a significant effect on the reinsurance
industry. The industry is currently being impacted by a number of factors including: uncertainties with respect to current and future
losses, reduction in interest rates, equity market volatility and ongoing business and financial market impacts of an economic downturn.
The insurance industry is likely to experience material losses resulting from COVID-19, which will reduce available capital and we expect
will help to sustain the upward pricing trend for reinsurers that we were seeing across many lines of business before COVID-19. However,
the ultimate impact on current business in force as well as risks and potential opportunities on future business remains highly uncertain.
Impact
of COVID-19 on Business Operations
We
reacted quickly and decisively to the COVID-19 crisis when we became aware of the potential impact on our business operations. We have
continued to monitor and adjust our operations as the global pandemic unfolds. As local directives had required us to transition our
operations to remote working arrangements, all functions remained fully operational with all employees having remote access to the Company’s
network and IT systems. Each employee was equipped with a computer and related equipment at their home to ensure access to our network
and efficiency. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis we had general remote, work-from-home capabilities and had previously tested those systems.
We have experienced no material disruption in our business operations. As of December 31, 2021, our operations are back to normal. However,
should the situation change for the worse, we will revert to working remotely.
Corporate
and other Information
The
Company was incorporated as an exempted company on April 4, 2013 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited owns
100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited, an exempted entity incorporated on April 23, 2013 under the laws of the
Cayman Islands and for which a Class “C” Insurer’s license was granted on April 29, 2013, under the provisions of the
Cayman Islands Insurance Law. Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited also owns 100% of the equity interest in Oxbridge Re NS, an entity incorporated
as an exempted company on December 22, 2017 under the laws of the Cayman Islands to function as a reinsurance sidecar facility and to
increase the underwriting capacity of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited. The Company, through its subsidiaries (collectively “Oxbridge
Re”) provides fully-collateralized reinsurance in the property catastrophe market and invests in various insurance-linked securities.
The Company operates as a single business segment through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The
Company’s headquarters and principal executive offices are located at Suite 201, 42 Edward Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman
Islands, and have registered offices at P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Our website is located at www.oxbridgere.com.
Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and such information should not be considered
to be part of this prospectus.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and other
information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. In particular, you should consider
the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as may be revised
or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, each of which are on file with the SEC
and are incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we
file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. Additional
risk factors may be included in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities.
If
any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected.
You could lose all or part of your investment. When we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus supplement, we may include
additional risk factors relevant to that offering in the prospectus supplement.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Under
this prospectus, we may offer and sell from time to time securities in one or more offerings in amounts, at prices and on terms determined
at the time of the offering. Each time securities are sold using this prospectus, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus and
possibly other offering materials containing specific information about the offering and the terms of the securities being sold, including
the offering price. We will describe the use of the net proceeds from sales of the securities made using a prospectus supplement in the
applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION
OF Ordinary shares
General
The
following description summarizes certain important terms of our ordinary shares, warrants and units. Because it is a summary, it may
not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section,
entitled “Description of Ordinary Shares,” you should refer to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
(“Articles”) and our form of Warrant Agreement, each of which is filed as an exhibit to our annual Report on Form 10-K for
fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and incorporated herein by reference, and to the applicable provisions of the Companies Act (As Revised)
of the Cayman Islands (“Companies Act”).
Ordinary
Shares
The
ordinary shares constitute common equity of our company. We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.001.
As of August 26, 2022, there were approximately 5,781,587 ordinary shares issued and outstanding. As of the date of this offering, our
share capital consists of only the ordinary shares. However, subject to the provisions in the Articles and without prejudice to any rights
of existing shares, the Board of Directors may create different classes of shares and may vary the rights of such classes of shares.
Voting
Rights
Holders
of our ordinary shares are generally entitled to one vote per share, other than in circumstances set forth in the Articles. In certain
circumstances, the total voting power of our ordinary shares held by any one person will be reduced to less than 9.9% of the total voting
power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares. In the event a holder of our ordinary shares acquires shares representing
9.9% or more of the total voting power of our total ordinary shares, there will be an effective reallocation of the voting power of the
ordinary shares as described in the Articles.
An
ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the shareholders, being entitled
to do so, voting in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative
vote of no less than two-thirds of such members, as being entitled to vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the general
meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our Articles.
No
Preemptive or Similar Rights
Although
our Articles allow us to issue shares with preemptive rights and redemption rights provisions, the ordinary shares are not subject to
any preemptive rights or redemption rights provisions.
Our
Articles also permit our Board of Directors to make calls upon holders in respect of monies unpaid on their shares.
Dividend
Rights
The
Board of Directors may declare dividends and other distributions out of funds legally available for dividends and in accordance with
the Companies Act and the Articles. Our ability to pay dividends depends on the ability of Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and/or Oxbridge
Re NS, our wholly owned subsidiaries, to pay dividends to us. Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge Re NS are subject to the Cayman
Islands regulatory constraints that affect its ability to pay dividends to us. Under the Cayman Islands law and related regulations,
both Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge Re NS must maintain a minimum net worth and may not declare or pay dividends that would
result in non-compliance with such requirements. In addition, under the Cayman Islands law, we ,Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited or Oxbridge
Re NS may not pay or declare a dividend unless immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid by us, Oxbridge
Reinsurance Limited or Oxbridge Re NS, as the case may be, are able to pay our or their debts as they fall due in the ordinary course
of business. Accordingly, we may not be able to declare or pay dividends on the ordinary shares. Except as otherwise provided by the
rights attached to any shares, the Board of Directors may deduct from any dividend or other distribution payable any holder of our shares
all sums of money payable by such holder to the company.
Selection
of Directors
There
are currently five (5) directors on our Board of Directors. The number of directors may be increased or reduced by an ordinary resolution
passed by a simple majority of the directors then in office. Directors may be appointed by an ordinary resolution passed by a simple
majority of the holders of our shares. However, the Board of Directors may also appoint an additional director, provided that the appointment
does not cause the number of directors to exceed the number fixed in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of directors.
Liquidation
Rights
On
a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of ordinary shares), assets available
for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares will be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a pro rata basis.
If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that
the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately.
Variations
of Rights of Shares
If
at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the special rights attached to any class of
shares may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, be varied with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting
of the holders of the shares of that class. Consequently, the rights of any class of shares cannot be detrimentally altered without a
majority of two-thirds of the vote of all of the shares in that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class
issued with preferred or other rights will not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class,
be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.
General
Meetings of Shareholders
Shareholders’
meetings may be convened by our Board of Directors. Additionally, on the requisition of shareholders representing not less than 66.66%
of the voting rights entitled to vote at general meetings, the board shall convene an extraordinary general meeting. Advance notice of
at least seven calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting and any other general meeting
of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present or by proxy, representing
not less than a majority in par value of the total issued voting shares in our company.
Proceedings
of Board of Directors
Our
Articles provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by our Board of Directors. The quorum necessary for the board meeting
may be fixed by the board and, unless so fixed at another number, will be a majority of the directors.
Exempted
Company
As
a Cayman Islands exempted companies, each of Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited, Oxbridge Reinsurance Limited and Oxbridge Re NS is prohibited
from trading in the Cayman Islands with any person, firm or corporation except in furtherance of our business of the exempted companies
carried on outside the Cayman Islands.
Register
of Members
Under
Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is prima facie evidence of title to shares and this register would not record
a third-party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman
Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands
court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company be rectified where it considers that such register
of members does not reflect the correct legal position. The register of members is not filed with, and it does not need to be approved
by, the Cayman Islands authorities. Under Cayman Islands law, every person or entity that acquires our shares must have his, her or its
name entered on our register of members in order to be considered a shareholder.
Book-Entry
Form
Individual
certificates will not be issued for the ordinary shares and warrants. Instead, one or more global certificates are deposited by us with
DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. The global certificates evidence all of the ordinary shares and
warrants outstanding at any time. Accordingly, holders of our shares and warrants are limited to (1) participants in DTC such as banks,
brokers, dealers and trust companies (“DTC Participants”), (2) those who maintain, either directly or indirectly, a custodial
relationship with a DTC Participant (“Indirect Participants”), and (3) those banks, brokers, dealers, trust companies and
others who hold interests in the securities through DTC Participants or Indirect Participants. The securities are only transferable through
the book-entry system of DTC. Holders who are not DTC Participants may transfer their securities through DTC by instructing the DTC Participant
holding their securities (or by instructing the Indirect Participant or other entity through which their securities are held) to transfer
the securities. Transfers will be made in accordance with standard securities industry practice.
Anti-Takeover
Provisions
Some
provisions of our Articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider
favorable, including provisions that:
| ● | authorize
our Board of Directors to issue shares in one or more series and to designate the price,
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares without any further vote
or action by our shareholders; |
| | |
| ● | prohibit
cumulative voting (the ordinary shares will generally be entitled to one vote per share other
than in the circumstances noted in the Articles); and |
| | |
| ● | establish
requirements for proposing matters that can be acted on by shareholders at extraordinary
general meetings. |
However,
under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our Articles for a proper purpose
and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.
Differences
in Corporate Law
Cayman
Islands companies are governed by the Companies Act. The Companies Act is modeled on English Law but does not follow recent English law
statutory enactments. In addition, the Companies Act, which applies to us, differs in certain material respects from laws generally applicable
to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant
provisions of the Companies Act (including modifications adopted pursuant to our Articles) applicable to us which differ in certain respects
from provisions of Delaware corporate law. Because the following statements are summaries, they do not purport to deal with all aspects
of Cayman Islands law that may be relevant to us and our shareholders.
Mergers
and Similar Arrangements
In
certain circumstances, the Companies Act allows for mergers or consolidations between two Cayman Islands companies, or between a Cayman
Islands exempted company and a company incorporated in another jurisdiction (provided that is facilitated by the laws of that other jurisdiction).
Where
the merger or consolidation is between two Cayman Islands companies, the directors of each company must approve a written plan of merger
or consolidation containing certain prescribed information. That plan or merger or consolidation must then be authorized by either (a)
a special resolution (usually a majority of 66 ⅔% in value of the voting shares voted at a general meeting) of the shareholders
of each company; or (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association.
No shareholder resolution is required for a merger between a parent company (i.e., a company that owns at least 90% of the issued shares
of each class in a subsidiary company) and its subsidiary company. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest
of a constituent company must be obtained, unless the court waives such requirement. If the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is
satisfied that the requirements of the Companies Act (which includes certain other formalities) have been complied with, the Registrar
of Companies will register the plan of merger or consolidation.
Where
the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company, the procedure is similar, save that with respect to the foreign company, the
directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they
are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the merger or consolidation is permitted or not prohibited
by the constitutional documents of the foreign company and by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the foreign company is incorporated,
and that those laws and any requirements of those constitutional documents have been or will be complied with; (ii) that no petition
or other similar proceeding has been filed and remains outstanding or order made or resolution adopted to wind up or liquidate the foreign
company in any jurisdictions; (iii) that no receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar person has been appointed in any jurisdiction
and is acting in respect of the foreign company, its affairs or its property or any part thereof; and (iv) that no scheme, order, compromise
or other similar arrangement has been entered into or made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors of the foreign company
are and continue to be suspended or restricted.
Where
the surviving company is the Cayman Islands exempted company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are further required
to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been
met: (i) that the foreign company is able to pay its debts as they fall due and that the merger or consolidated is bona fide and not
intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the foreign company; (ii) that in respect of the transfer of any security interest granted
by the foreign company to the surviving or consolidated company (a) consent or approval to the transfer has been obtained, released or
waived; (b) the transfer is permitted by and has been approved in accordance with the constitutional documents of the foreign company;
and (c) the laws of the jurisdiction of the foreign company with respect to the transfer have been or will be complied with; (iii) that
the foreign company will, upon the merger or consolidation becoming effective, cease to be incorporated, registered or exist under the
laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction; and (iv) that there is no other reason why it would be against the public interest to permit
the merger or consolidation.
Where
the above procedures are adopted, the Companies Act provides for a right of dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the fair
value of his shares upon their dissenting to the merger or consolidation if they follow a prescribed procedure. In essence, that procedure
is as follows: (a) the shareholder must give his written objection to the merger or consolidation to the constituent company before the
vote on the merger or consolidation, including a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment for his shares if the merger
or consolidation is authorized by the vote; (b) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by
the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice to each shareholder who made a written objection; (c) a shareholder
must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company, give the constituent company a written notice of his
intention to dissent including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (d) within seven days following
the date of the expiration of the period set out in paragraph (b) above or seven days following the date on which the plan of merger
or consolidation is filed, whichever is later, the constituent company, the surviving company or the consolidated company must make a
written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the
company and the shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the shareholder
such amount; and (e) if the company and the shareholder fail to agree a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the
date on which such 30 day period expires, the company (and any dissenting shareholder) must file a petition with the Cayman Islands Grand
Court to determine the fair value and such petition must be accompanied by a list of the names and addresses of the dissenting shareholders
with whom agreements as to the fair value of their shares have not been reached by the company. At the hearing of that petition, the
court has the power to determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company
upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Any dissenting shareholder whose name appears on the list filed by the company may participate
fully in all proceedings until the determination of fair value is reached. These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available
in certain circumstances, for example, to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized
stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or where the consideration for such shares to be contributed
are shares of any company listed on a national securities exchange or shares of the surviving or consolidated company.
Moreover,
Cayman Islands law has separate statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction or amalgamation of companies in certain circumstances,
schemes of arrangement will generally be more suited for complex mergers or other transactions involving widely held companies, commonly
referred to in the Cayman Islands as a “scheme of arrangement” which may be tantamount to a merger. In the event that a merger
was sought pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the procedures for which are more rigorous and take longer to complete than the procedures
typically required to consummate a merger in the United States), the arrangement in question must be approved by a majority in number
of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent three-fourths
in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy
at an annual general meeting, or extraordinary general meeting summoned for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently
the terms of the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the
right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement
if it satisfies itself that:
●
we are not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of our corporate authority and the statutory provisions as to majority vote
have been complied with;
●
the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;
●
the arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and
●
the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act or that would amount
to a “fraud on the minority.”
If
a scheme of arrangement or takeover offer (as described below) is approved, any dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable
to appraisal rights (providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares), which would otherwise
ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations.
Squeeze-out
Provisions
When
a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer relates within four months, the offeror may,
within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection
can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion
or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.
Further,
transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through means other than
these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, or through contractual arrangements of an
operating business.
Interested
Party Transactions
No
person shall be disqualified from the office of director or alternate director or prevented by such office from contracting with the
Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf
of the Company in which any director or alternate director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any
director or alternate director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realized by or
arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such director or alternate director holding office or of the
fiduciary relationship thereby established. A director (or his alternate director in his absence) shall be at liberty to vote in respect
of any contract or transaction in which he is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any director or alternate director
in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.
Under
Delaware law such a transaction would be voidable unless:
| ● | the
material facts as to such interested director’s relationship or interests are disclosed
or are known to the board of directors and the board in good faith authorizes the transaction
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors; |
| ● | such
material facts are disclosed or are known to the stockholder entitled to vote on such transaction
and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the majority of shares
entitled to vote thereon; or |
| | |
| ● | the
transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified.
Under Delaware law, such interested director could be held liable for a transaction in which
such director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Shareholder’s
Suit
Maples
and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman
Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability
for such actions. In most cases, we will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to us, and a claim against
(for example) our officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based on both Cayman Islands authorities
and on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands,
exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:
| ● | a
company is acting or proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority; |
| | |
| ● | the
act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly
authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or |
| | |
| ● | those
who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.” |
A
shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about
to be infringed.
Enforcement
of Civil Liabilities
The
Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection to investors. Additionally,
Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the Federal courts of the United States.
We
have been advised by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely
(i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities
against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as
the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in
the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign
money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a
competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain
conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a
liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the
same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to
natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to
public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
Special
Considerations for Exempted Companies.
We
are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies
and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands
may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary
company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:
●
an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;
●
an exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection;
●
an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
●
an exempted company may issue shares with no par value;
●
an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for
20 years in the first instance);
●
an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
●
an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and
●
an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.
“Limited
liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the
company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper
purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
Directors’
Fiduciary Duties
Under
Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty
has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care
that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of and
disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires
that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use
his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best
interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder
and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis,
in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption
may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by
a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.
As
a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company
and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company – a duty to act bona fide in the best interests
of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a
duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty
to a third party. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered
that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from
a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with
regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.
Shareholder
Action by Written Resolution
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to
its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our Articles provide that shareholders may approve corporate matters by way
of unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matters at a
general meeting without a meeting being held.
Shareholder
Proposals
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided
it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide shareholders
an express right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, but in keeping with common law, Delaware corporations
generally afford shareholders an opportunity to make proposals and nominations provided that they comply with the notice provisions in
the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized
to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.
Our
Articles allow our shareholders holding not less than 66.66% in par value of the issued voting share capital to put forth a requisition
to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. Upon such shareholder requisition, the Board of Directors shall convene an
extraordinary general meeting of the Company. If the Board of Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit
of the shareholders’ requisition (at the Company’s registered office) duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held
within a further twenty-one (21) days, the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting. At such shareholders’ meeting,
the shareholders who have requisitioned the meeting may put forth proposals, provided the details of such proposals are set forth in
their notice requisitioning the meeting. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’
annual general meetings.
Cumulative
Voting
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate
of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders
on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single
director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands
law, our Articles do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights
on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.
Removal
of Directors
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval
of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.
The
Articles have no provisions in place relating to the retirement of directors upon reaching any age limit. The directors have the power
to appoint any person as a director either to fill a casual vacancy on the board or, subject to authorization by the shareholders in
the general meeting, as an addition to the existing board, but so that the number of directors so appointed will not exceed any maximum
number determined from time to time by the shareholders in general meeting. The Company may by ordinary resolution appoint any person
to be a director or may by ordinary resolution remove any director.
Transactions
with Interested Shareholders
The
Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the
corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws that
is approved by its shareholders, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder”
for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person
or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate
of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the
effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be
treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested
shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming
an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition
transaction with the target’s board of directors.
Cayman
Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business
combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders,
it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate
purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.
Dissolution;
Winding Up
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by
shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors
may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to
include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.
Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution
of its shareholders or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its shareholders. The
court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just
and equitable to do so.
Under
the Companies Act and our Articles, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution, or by an ordinary resolution
on the basis that our company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due.
Variation
of Rights of Shares
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding
shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law and our Articles, if our share
capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the sanction of a special
resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Amendment
of Governing Documents
Under
the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared
advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and the bylaws may be amended
with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation,
also be amended by the board of directors. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our Articles may only be amended by special resolution
or the unanimous written resolution of all shareholders.
Rights
of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders
There
are no limitations imposed by our Articles on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on
our shares, except as set forth below. In addition, there are no provisions in our Articles governing the ownership threshold above which
shareholder ownership must be disclosed. In certain circumstances, the total voting power of our ordinary shares held by any one U.S.
person will be reduced to less than 9.9% of the total voting power of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares.
Directors’
Power to Issue Shares
Subject
to applicable law, our Board of Directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred,
deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions.
Indemnification
of Directors
The
Companies Act 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 Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public
policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
Our
Articles provide that every director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the
Company), together with every former director and former officer of the Company (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified
out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal
expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other
than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or willful default. No Indemnified Person shall
be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out
of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or willful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall
be found to have committed actual fraud or willful default under the Articles unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall
have made a finding to that effect.
Under
Delaware law, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in defense of an action, suit or proceeding by reason
of such position if:
| ● | such
director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and |
| | |
| ● | with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such director or officer had no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. |
Anti-Money
Laundering—Cayman Islands
If
any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged
in criminal conduct or money laundering or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property and the information for that
knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business
or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman
Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money
laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism
Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property.
Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any
enactment or otherwise.

DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
Warrants
We
may issue warrants that entitled the holder to purchase ordinary shares or other securities. Warrants may be issued independently or
together with ordinary shares or other securities offered by any prospectus supplement and/or other offering material and may be attached
to or separate from any such offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered
into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, all as will be set forth in the prospectus supplement and/or other offering
material relating to the particular issue of warrants. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants
and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants.
The
following summary of certain provisions of the warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to, all provisions of the warrant agreements.
Reference
is made to the prospectus supplement and/or other offering material relating to the particular issue of warrants offered pursuant to
such prospectus supplement and/or other offering material for the terms of and information relating to such warrants, including, where
applicable:
|
● |
the
number of shares of ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase ordinary share and the price at which such
number of ordinary share may be purchased upon such exercise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
designation and number of units of other securities purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase other securities and the
price at which such number of units of such other securities may be purchased upon such exercise; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
date on which the right to exercise such warrants shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Cayman
Island tax consequences applicable to such warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
U.S.
federal income tax consequences applicable to such warrants; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the
number of warrants outstanding as of the most recent practicable date; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
any
other terms of such warrants. |
Warrants
will be issued in registered form only. The exercise price for warrants will be subject to adjustment in accordance with provisions described
in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material.
Each
warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase such number of ordinary share or other securities at such exercise price as shall
in each case be set forth in, or calculable from, the prospectus supplement and/or other offering material relating to the warrants,
which exercise price may be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in such prospectus supplement and/or
other offering material. After the close of business on the expiration date, or such later date to which such expiration date may be
extended by us, unexercised warrants will become void. The place or places where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised
shall be specified in the prospectus supplement and/or other offering material relating to such warrants.
Prior
to the exercise of any warrants to ordinary shares or other securities, holders of such warrants will not have any of the rights of holders

dividends, if any, on the ordinary shares purchasable upon such exercise, or to exercise any applicable right to vote.
DESCRIPTION

We

may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
may sell securities in any one or more of the following ways from time to time: (1) through agents; (2) to or through underwriters; (3)
through brokers or dealers; (4) directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process; or (5) through
a combination of any of these methods of sale. The applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering materials will contain the
terms of the transaction, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents and the respective amounts of securities underwritten
or purchased by them, the initial public offering price of the securities, and the applicable agent’s commission, dealer’s
purchase price or underwriter’s discount. Any dealers and/or agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be
deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts.
Any
initial offering price, dealer purchase price, discount or commission may be changed from time to time.
The
securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions, at negotiated prices, at a fixed price or fixed prices (that
may be subject to change), at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at various prices determined at the time of sale or at prices
related to prevailing market prices.
Offers
to purchase securities may be solicited directly by us or by agents designated by us from time to time. Any such agent may be deemed
to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.
If
underwriters are utilized in the sale of any securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, such securities will
be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined by the underwriters at the time of sale. Underwriters may
offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more
underwriters. If any underwriter or underwriters are utilized in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable
prospectus supplement and/or other offering material, the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent,
and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such securities if they purchase any of them.
If
a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to
the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer
at the time of resale. Transactions through brokers or dealers may include block trades in which brokers or dealers will attempt to sell
shares as agent but may position and resell as principal to facilitate the transaction or in cross trades, in which the same broker or
dealer acts as agent on both sides of the trade. Any such dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter, as such term is defined in the Securities
Act, of the securities so offered and sold.
Agents,
underwriters and dealers may be entitled under relevant agreements with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, underwriters and dealers may be
required to make in respect thereof. The terms and conditions of any indemnification or contribution will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement and/or other offering material.
We
may enter into derivative, sale or forward sale transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to
third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material indicates,
in connection with those transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus
supplement and/or other offering material, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities not covered by this prospectus
but convertible into, exchangeable for or representing beneficial interests in securities covered by this prospectus, or the return of
which is derived in whole or in part from the value of such securities. The third parties may use securities received under derivative,
sale or forward sale transactions or securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any
related open borrowings of stock and may use securities received from us in settlement of those transactions to close out any related
open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus
supplement (or a post-effective amendment) and/or other offering material.
Underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us. Underwriters, broker-dealers
or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals,
or both. Compensation as to a particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions
involving shares and might be in excess of customary commissions. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by us may arrange for other
broker-dealers to participate in the resales.
Any
securities offered other than ordinary shares will be a new issue and other than the ordinary shares and the warrants, which are listed
on The NASDAQ Capital Market, will have no established trading market. We may elect to list
any series of securities on an exchange, and in the case of the ordinary shares, on any additional exchange, but, unless otherwise specified
in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material, we shall not be obligated to do so. No assurance can be given
as to the liquidity of the trading market for any of the securities.
Agents,
underwriters and dealers may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us and/or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course
of business.
Any
underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation
M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions
permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions
involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit
the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering
transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be.
If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. An underwriter may carry out these transactions on
The NASDAQ Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
The
place and time of delivery for securities will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement and/or other offering material
for such securities.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the units, ordinary shares, and warrants under Cayman Islands law will be passed upon for us by Maples
and Calder (Cayman) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel. That validity of the securities offered
by this prospectus will be passed upon for any underwriters or agents by counsel named in the applicable prospectus supplement. The opinions
of by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP and counsel for any underwriters or agents may be conditioned
upon and may be subject to assumptions regarding future action required to be taken by us and any underwriters, dealers or agents in
connection with the issuance of any securities. The opinions of by Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP and counsel for any underwriters
or agents may be subject to other conditions and assumptions, as indicated in the prospectus supplement.
