Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other
Consideration.
Under a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of
November 18, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Reporting Person, the Issuer, Ilustrato Pictures International Inc.,
a Nevada corporation (“Ilustrato”), and certain stockholders of the Issuer (together with Ilustrato, the “Sellers”
and the Sellers together with the Issuer and the Reporting Person, the “Parties”), the Parties agreed that the Sellers would
sell 78,312,334 shares of common stock and 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, constituting approximately 69.36% of the capital
stock of the Issuer (the “Sellers’ Shares”), to the Reporting Person. In exchange, the Reporting Person was required
to issue 3,818,969 Class A ordinary shares of the Reporting Person (“Reporting Person Ordinary Shares”), constituting 19.99%
of the issued and outstanding Reporting Person Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shares Consideration”), and an aggregate of
4,171,327 preferred shares of the Reporting Person, subject to adjustment (together with the Ordinary Shares Consideration, the “Reporting
Person Shares Consideration”), to the Sellers, with provisions for the preferred shares to convert into 41,713,270 ordinary shares
subject to the Shareholder Approval (as defined below) and the clearance of an initial listing application to be filed by the Reporting
Person with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Purchase Agreement provided that, subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person was required to consummate the transactions (the “Transactions”)
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement at the date (the “Closing Date”) of the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”).
On November 26, 2024, the conditions to the Closing
were satisfied in all material respects. As a result, the Reporting Person instructed its transfer agent to issue the Reporting Person
Shares Consideration to the Sellers, following which the Ordinary Shares Consideration were issued to Ilustrato, and the Preferred Shares
Consideration were issued pro rata to the Sellers, with Ilustrato’s allocation of the Preferred Shares Consideration reduced by
the Ordinary Shares Consideration. The Sellers delivered to the Issuer’s transfer agent all of the necessary documentation to effect
the transfer of the Sellers’ Shares to the Reporting Person. The conditions to the Closing included, among other things, the written
resignation of Frederico Figueira de Chaves as Chief Executive Officer of the Reporting Person effective as of the Closing Date, and
the appointment of John-Paul Backwell, the current Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, as the Chief Executive Officer of the Reporting
Person effective as of the Closing Date. In addition, the Reporting Person, the Issuer, and each director and officer of the Reporting
Person that holds equity securities in the Reporting Person (collectively, the “Reporting Person Equityholders”) and each
of the Sellers’ were required to enter into a lock-up agreement which provides that the Reporting Person Equityholders and the
Sellers will each be prohibited from transferring, entering into short sales, granting proxies or powers of attorney, or offering or
agreeing to do any of the foregoing during the 180-day period beginning on the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions (the “Lock-Up
Agreement”).
Page 4 of 12 pages
As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, following
the Closing, the Issuer will function as a majority-owned operating subsidiary of the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person will
consolidate the financial results and information of the Issuer with its own.
As part of the Reporting Person Shares Consideration,
the Reporting Person issued 4,171,327 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares with a nominal value of US$0.0001 each (the “Reporting
Person Preferred Shares”), in aggregate, to the Sellers on a pro rata basis. The Reporting Person Preferred Shares were issued
pursuant to a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Benefits and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, which will
be filed with the Companies Registration Office of Ireland (the “Reporting Person Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation”).
Under the Reporting Person Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation, the Preferred Shares Consideration will automatically convert
into 41,713,275 Reporting Person Ordinary Shares (subject to adjustment) upon the later of (i) approval of the Reporting Person’s
issuance of such underlying Reporting Person Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Person’s shareholders in accordance with applicable
Irish law and (ii) the clearance of an initial listing application filed by the Reporting Person with Nasdaq, in accordance with the
Reporting Person Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation (the “Preferred Shares Conversion”). Pursuant to the Reporting
Person Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation, the Reporting Person Preferred Shares rank on parity with the Reporting Person Ordinary
Shares as to distributions of assets upon liquidation. The Reporting Person Preferred Shares will have no voting rights except as required
by the Irish Companies Act of 2014 (the “ICA”) and with respect to amendments to the Reporting Person Preferred Shares Certificate
of Designation or the constitution of the Reporting Person that adversely affect the terms of the Reporting Person Preferred Shares.
On the later of the date of the Shareholder Approval or the clearance of the initial listing application filed by the Reporting Person
with Nasdaq, each of the Reporting Person Preferred Shares will automatically convert into ten Reporting Person Ordinary Shares, subject
to adjustment upon the occurrence of share dividends, share splits, reverse share splits, or certain similar transactions, or certain
corporate transactions of the Reporting Person including a merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, purchase of 50% or more of
the Reporting Person Ordinary Shares, recapitalization, or acquisition by another person of more than 50% of the outstanding Reporting
Person Ordinary Shares. If the Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the Shareholders Meeting (as defined below) by the Extended Meeting
Deadline (as defined below), the Reporting Person will, subject to applicable law, be required to repurchase all of the outstanding Reporting
Person Preferred Shares held by each of the Sellers.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following
the Closing Date, the Reporting Person, the Issuer, and the Sellers will enter into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger
Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement states that the Parties intend that after the Closing, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement
and the receipt of any necessary shareholder, regulatory, and Nasdaq consents or approvals, the Issuer will merge into a newly-formed,
wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary of the Reporting Person (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Issuer will become
the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person.
If, as of the Closing Date, the Reporting Person
has any indebtedness for borrowed money or liabilities in excess of $1,350,000 relating to the period prior to the Closing (the “Closing
Debt Cap”), then the Reporting Person will issue to the securityholders of the Issuer immediately prior to the Closing (the “Legacy
Issuer Securityholders”), including the Sellers, as soon as practicable following the closing of the Merger, a number of additional
Reporting Person Ordinary Shares (the “Adjustment Shares”) that will be determined by dividing the dollar amount by which
the actual indebtedness for borrowed money of the Reporting Person exceeds the Closing Debt Cap by the quotient obtained by dividing
$40,730,000 by the number of Reporting Person Ordinary Shares outstanding at the effective time of the Merger on a fully-diluted basis.
The Adjustment Shares will be issued to the Legacy Issuer Securityholders on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of common
stock held by the Legacy Issuer Securityholders at the effective time of the Merger; provided, however, that for this purpose, the Sellers
will be deemed to hold at the effective time of the Merger such number of shares of common stock (assuming the conversion of Issuer Preferred
Stock held by the Sellers into shares of common stock in accordance with their terms) as they hold at the time that the Sellers entered
into the Purchase Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the Purchase
Agreement, the board of directors of the Reporting Person (the “Reporting Person Board”) approved resolutions that: (i) approved
the Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation, the Transactions, and the Merger; (ii) approved the payment
of the Reporting Person Shares Consideration, (iii) directed that the issuance of the Reporting Person Ordinary Shares underlying the
Preferred Shares Consideration pursuant to the Preferred Shares Conversion, the amendment and restatement of the constitution of the
Reporting Person, including the change of the name of Purchaser to such name as shall be designated by the Sellers (the “Amended
Reporting Person Charter”), and the election of the New Directors (as defined below) be submitted for consideration at the Shareholders
Meeting, and (iv) recommended to the shareholders of the Reporting Person that they approve the Preferred Shares Conversion, the Amended
Reporting Person Charter, and the election of the New Directors (the “Reporting Person Board Recommendation”).

Stock Purchase Agreement – Covenants
The Purchase Agreement provides that the following
covenants will apply:
| ● | Within
ten days of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person will cause its officers
and directors who hold shares or convertible securities of the Reporting Person (the “Reporting
Person Insiders”) to execute a voting agreement. |
| ● | After
the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person will use commercially reasonable
efforts to raise at least $5,000,000 in one or more financing transactions (the “Reporting
Person Financing”). The Issuer and the Sellers are required to support and assist the
Reporting Person in connection with the Reporting Person Financing. 50% of the proceeds from
the Reporting Person Financing will be set aside and made available expressly for the Issuer
to use for its working capital and corporate needs and the remaining 50% of such funds will
be set aside and made available expressly for the businesses of the Reporting Person existing
immediately prior to the Closing to use for its working capital and corporate needs. To split
the net proceeds of the Reporting Person Financing as described above, the Reporting Person
will make loans of one-half of the net proceeds (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the
Parties) to the Issuer. Such loans will be (i) forgiven upon the Preferred Shares Conversion
or (ii) repaid if the Transactions are unwound in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
The Reporting Person and the Issuer are required to cooperate to structure such allocation
of proceeds and the use of such proceeds on a mutually agreeable basis. The Reporting Person
will utilize its portion of the net proceeds of the Reporting Person Financing to pay off
any indebtedness for borrowed money, accounts payable and other liabilities. |
| ● | Any
proceeds received by the Reporting Person in connection with the Subscription Agreement,
dated as of August 28, 2024, between the Reporting Person and the investor signatory thereto
(the “August 2024 Subscription Agreement”), must be used to repay certain funds
that were received by certain subsidiaries of the Reporting Person or entities organized
under Portuguese law by the Reporting Person, up to the lesser of (a) the amount of such
funds that must be repaid pursuant to the terms and conditions for the receipt of such funds,
or (b) €10 million. In the event that (i) any shares or securities of the Reporting
Person are issued in connection with the August 2024 Subscription Agreement prior to the
effectiveness of the Merger, (ii) the proceeds are used to repay certain funds that were
received by certain subsidiaries of the Reporting Person or entities organized under Portuguese
law by the Reporting Person, and (iii) the satisfaction of the terms and conditions for the
consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Merger Agreement occurs,
then, within three business days of the Merger, the Reporting Person will issue a number
of Reporting Person Ordinary Shares to the Sellers that will cause their percentage ownership
of the Reporting Person to be the percentage that the Sellers would have owned but for the
occurrence of any such issuances in connection with the August 2024 Subscription Agreement
as to which the proceeds were used to repay the funds as described above. |
| ● | From
the date of the Purchase Agreement through the period ending on the earlier of (i) the Preferred
Shares Conversion, (ii) the repurchase of the Reporting Person Shares Consideration from
the Sellers in exchange for the Sellers’ Shares, and (iii) the termination of the Purchase
Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), the Reporting Person will not sell, transfer,
or otherwise encumber the Sellers’ Shares acquired under the Purchase Agreement without
the prior written consent from the Sellers. In addition, during the Restricted Period, the
Reporting Person will not, without the written consent of the Issuer, which may not be unreasonably
withheld, and the Issuer will not, without the written consent of the Reporting Person, which
may not be unreasonably withheld, among other things: (i) Declare any dividends; (ii) adjust,
split, combine, reclassify, redeem, purchase, acquire, issue (other than pursuant to the
exercise or conversion of convertible securities outstanding on the date of the Purchase
Agreement), or enter into any contract with respect to the sale, voting, registration, or
repurchase of capital stock; (iii) incur more than a certain amount and/or type of indebtedness;
(iv) sell any assets; (v) acquire material assets, properties, or business organizations;
(vi) enter into certain types of contracts; (vii) make certain loans; (viii) commence, settle,
or take certain other actions with respect to legal actions pending before any governmental
or regulatory body; (ix) enter into transactions with any affiliate or shareholder that would
reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions
or the Merger or that would be required to be described under Item 404 of Regulation S-K
of the SEC in the Reporting Person or the Issuer’s SEC filings; or (x) increase or
extend the compensation of any employees, directors, or officers or take certain other actions
with respect to employees of the Reporting Person or the Issuer. |

| ● | The
Reporting Person is required to use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Reporting
Person Ordinary Shares are continually listed on Nasdaq as of and from the date of the Purchase
Agreement through the Closing Date. |
| ● | As
soon as practicable after the date of the Purchase Agreement, and in any case no less than
six weeks prior to the Shareholders Meeting, Purchaser will file an initial listing application
with Nasdaq. The Reporting Person, the Sellers and the Issuer are required to use their
commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any questions or comments of the staff of Nasdaq. |
| ● | The
Parties will take actions necessary to have the Sellers’ Shares certificated at the
Closing and the Reporting Person will deliver the certificates representing the Sellers’
Shares to a third-party agent on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties
to hold in escrow until the expiration of the Restricted Period such that (i) if the Shareholder
Approval is not obtained, then such certificates will be delivered to the Sellers, and (ii)
upon occurrence of the Shareholder Approval, such certificates will be delivered to the Reporting
Person. |
| ● | The
Reporting Person will be required to take all steps necessary to cause the Reporting Person
Ordinary Shares issued to the Sellers in connection with the Transactions to be approved
for listing (subject to notice of issuance) on Nasdaq at or after the Closing pursuant to
Nasdaq rules and regulations. |
| ● | The
Reporting Person, the Issuer, and the Sellers will enter into the Merger Agreement. |
| ● | As
promptly as practicable following the Closing Date and the execution and delivery of the
Merger Agreement, and after reasonable consultation with the Issuer, the Reporting Person
will duly call, convene and hold a special meeting of the holders of the Reporting Person
Ordinary Shares (the “Shareholders Meeting”), to be held on a date (the “Initial
Meeting Deadline”) no later than 45 days after the effective date (the “Registration
Statement Effective Date”) of a registration statement on Form F-4 or such other applicable
form (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the SEC, unless otherwise
required by applicable laws, in accordance with Irish law, including the ICA, and the Reporting
Person’s organizational documents. As promptly as practicable after the mailing of
a proxy statement/prospectus relating to the matters to be submitted to the shareholders
of the Reporting Person at the Shareholders Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”),
the Reporting Person will solicit proxies from the holders of Reporting Person Ordinary Shares
to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Reporting Person Board (the “Shareholder
Approval”) with respect to (i) the Preferred Shares Conversion in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, Irish law, including the
ICA and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, (ii) the Amended Reporting Person Charter, (iii)
the election of the New Directors, (iv) if the Parties determine that approval of the Merger
by the Reporting Person’s shareholders is required, the Merger, (v) approval to opt
out of Rule 9 of the Irish Takeover Panel Act, 1997, Takeover Rules, 2022, (vi) the adjournment
of such meeting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, and
(vii) any other proposal or proposals that the Reporting Person reasonably deems necessary
or desirable to consummate the Transactions and the Merger. The Reporting Person will be
required to use its best efforts to obtain the Shareholder Approval by the Initial Meeting
Deadline, including, without limitation, by causing (x) the Reporting Person Board not to
withdraw the Reporting Person Board Recommendation, (y) the Reporting Person Insiders to
be present at the Shareholders Meeting for quorum purposes, and (z) the Reporting Person
Insiders to vote their respective Reporting Person Ordinary Shares in accordance with the
Reporting Person Board Recommendation. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Reporting
Person may postpone or adjourn the Shareholders Meeting: (A) with the consent of the Issuer;
(B) for the absence of a quorum (other than due to the failure of Reporting Person Insiders);
or (C) to allow reasonable additional time (not to exceed 20 days) for the filing and distribution
of any supplemental or amended disclosure with respect to the Transactions or the Merger
that the Reporting Person Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its
outside legal counsel) is necessary under applicable laws and for such supplemental or amended
disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Reporting Person’s shareholders
prior to the Shareholders Meeting. Prior to the mailing of the Registration Statement, the
Reporting Person will be entitled to engage a proxy solicitor that is reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer and the Sellers, and the Reporting Person will keep the Issuer and the Sellers
reasonably informed regarding its solicitation efforts and proxy tallies following the mailing
of the Proxy Statement. In connection with the above, the Reporting Person Board will be
required to take all necessary action to ensure that the restrictions on business combinations
that are provided for in the ICA, and any other similar law applicable to the Reporting Person,
will not apply to the Purchase Agreement, the Transactions, and the Merger, including by
approving the Purchase Agreement and certain related agreements, documents and certificates
to which the Reporting Person is or will be a party. |
Page 7 of 12 pages
| ● | If,
despite the Reporting Person’s reasonable best efforts, the Shareholder Approval is
not obtained by the Initial Meeting Deadline, the Reporting Person will be required, during
the period beginning on the Initial Meeting Deadline and continuing for 180 days thereafter
(the “Extended Meeting Deadline”), to cause one or more additional shareholder
meetings to be held so as to obtain the Shareholder Approval. |
| ● | If
the Registration Statement cannot include any Adjustment Shares required to be issued pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, then the Reporting Person will be required to file a separate
registration statement on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not then available, on Form F-1) that
registers the issuance of the Adjustment Shares and use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such other registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable. |
| ● | Each
of the Reporting Person and the Issuer must take all necessary actions so that, immediately
upon adjournment of the Shareholders Meeting or additional shareholders meeting held prior
to the Extended Meeting Deadline at which the Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Reporting
Person Board will be comprised of: (w) one individual as designated by the Reporting Person
and who shall be designated in writing pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (x) one individual
as designated by the board of director of the Issuer (the “Issuer Board”) and
who shall be designated in writing pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (y) two individuals
that qualify as “independent” under the Nasdaq rules as designated by the Issuer
Board and who shall be designated in writing under the Merger Agreement; and (z) one individual
that qualifies as “independent” under the Nasdaq rules as designated jointly
by the Reporting Person Board and the Issuer Board and who is designated in writing under
the Merger Agreement, provided that a majority of these designees must qualify as an “independent
director” under Nasdaq rules and regulations (collectively, the “New Directors”). |
| ● | Within
three business days of obtaining the Shareholder Approval, the Reporting Person will file
the Amended Reporting Person Charter with the Companies Registration Office of Ireland or
as otherwise required to be effective under Irish law. |
Stock Purchase Agreement – Unwinding

unwinding and termination provisions:
| ● | The
Reporting Person will be required to repurchase the Reporting Person Shares Consideration
from the Sellers, in whole, and return the Sellers’ Shares to the Sellers, (i) within
15 calendar days after the Extended Meeting Deadline if despite the Reporting Person’s
reasonable best efforts, the Shareholder Approval is not obtained by the Extended Meeting
Deadline; or (ii) if the Reporting Person fails to allocate cash raised from the Reporting
Person Financing in compliance with the Purchase Agreement, and the Reporting Person continues
to fail to do so within five calendar days after written notice from the Issuer, then within
10 calendar days after the date of the Issuer’s notice to complete such repurchase.
The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate upon such repurchase. |
| ● | The
Purchase Agreement provided for termination before the Closing by mutual written consent
of the Parties. |
| ● | The
Purchase Agreement may be terminated by any party before the end of the Restricted Period,
by written notice, if (a) the Closing had not occurred by the date that is 30 days from the
date of the Purchase Agreement, provided that the party seeking termination was not in material
breach of the Purchase Agreement, or (b) a law or order by any governmental or regulatory
body (including Nasdaq) permanently prohibits the consummation of the Transactions. |
| ● | The
Purchase Agreement provided for termination by either the Issuer or the Sellers before the
Closing if the Reporting Person breached any representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements
that could not be cured by the date of termination, provided the Issuer itself was not in
breach. |
| ● | The
Purchase Agreement provided for termination by the Reporting Person before the Closing if
the Issuer or any of the Sellers breached any representations, warranties, or obligations
that could not be cured by the date of termination, provided that the Reporting Person itself
was not in breach. |
Page 8 of 12 pages
| ● | The
Purchase Agreement provided for termination by the Reporting Person before the Closing if
certain conditions to the Issuer and the Sellers’ obligation to consummate the Transactions
had been performed and the Issuer or the Sellers failed to fulfill their obligations to complete
the Closing following written notice from the Reporting Person indicating readiness to consummate
the Closing. If the Purchase Agreement was terminated by the Reporting Person pursuant to
this provision, then the Issuer and the Sellers would have been required to pay a breakup
fee of $100,000 to the Reporting Person. |
| ● | The
Purchase Agreement provided for termination by the Issuer or the Sellers before the Closing
if certain conditions to the Reporting Person’s obligation to consummate the Transactions
had been performed and the Reporting Person failed to fulfill its obligations to complete
the Closing following written notice from the Issuer and the Sellers indicating their readiness
to consummate the Closing. If the Purchase Agreement was terminated by the Issuer or the
Sellers pursuant to this provision, then the Reporting Person would have been required to
pay a breakup fee of $100,000 to the terminating party. |
If the Purchase Agreement is validly terminated, it will become void without further obligations or liabilities, except if a breakup
fee applies or if termination results from fraud or willful and material failure to perform or breach, then the responsible party will
be liable for damages as a result of such breach. Certain provisions, including confidentiality, fees and expenses, and miscellaneous
terms, will continue to apply after termination.
The Purchase Agreement also contains customary
representations, warranties, and covenants, including customary restrictive covenants. The Purchase Agreement provides for mutual indemnification
provisions. Indemnification obligations with respect to claims relating to breaches of required representations under the Purchase Agreement
or certain related agreements, documents, or certificates are limited to claims of maximum damages of $4,000,000 and claims exceeding
$400,000, except that no such limits apply with respect to claims of breach of certain representations considered to be fundamental under
the Purchase Agreement or with respect to claims of acts of fraud or willful misconduct. Indemnification obligations under the Purchase
Agreement will survive until the earlier of the Preferred Shares Conversion or 24 months following the Closing Date, except that indemnification
for claims of breach of certain representations considered to be fundamental under the Purchase Agreement or with respect to claims of
acts of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation will survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
The Sellers’ indemnification obligations will be shared on a pro rata basis.

based on 121,751,901 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 18, 2024 as reported

The numerator of the fraction upon which the percentage is calculated is based on the total
of 98,312,334 shares of common stock that were beneficially owned as of the date of this
Schedule 13D. The shares of common stock beneficially owned consist of (i) 78,312,334 shares
of common stock and (ii) 20,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of
20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, except in the event that such conversion would
result in the holder’s beneficial ownership of the common stock exceeding 9.99% of
the outstanding common stock immediately after conversion. |
| (b) | The Reporting Person has sole voting
and dispositive power over the shares of common stock that are beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person as of the date of this Schedule 13D. |
| (c) | Except as described in this Schedule
13D, the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the common stock during the
