DISCLAIMER
THIS

OR IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY THE

OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF SUCH STATE OR JURISDICTION.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
THIS
REPORT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO INCLUDE “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE
U.S. PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 27A OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,
AND SECTION 21E OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED. ANY ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM EXPECTATIONS, ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS
PRESENTED OR IMPLIED AND, CONSEQUENTLY, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS PREDICTIONS OF FUTURE EVENTS. WORDS
SUCH AS “EXPECT,” “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “BUDGET,” “FORECAST,” “ANTICIPATE,”
“INTEND,” “PLAN,” “MAY,” “WILL,” “COULD,” “SHOULD,” “BELIEVES,”
“PREDICTS,” “POTENTIAL,” “CONTINUE,” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING

SUCH
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR FUTURE PERFORMANCE, BUT REFLECT THE PARTIES’ CURRENT BELIEFS, BASED ON INFORMATION
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. MOST OF THESE FACTORS ARE OUTSIDE THE PARTIES’ CONTROL AND ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. A NUMBER OF FACTORS COULD
CAUSE ACTUAL EVENTS, PERFORMANCE OR RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE EVENTS, PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS: THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DOES NOT
CLOSE OR THAT THE CLOSING MAY BE DELAYED BECAUSE CONDITIONS TO THE CLOSING MAY NOT BE SATISFIED, INCLUDING THE RECEIPT OF THE REQUISITE
SHAREHOLDER AND OTHER APPROVALS, THE PERFORMANCES OF TKAT AND NFT, AND THE ABILITY OF TKAT OR, AFTER THE CLOSING OF THE TRANSACTIONS,
THE COMBINED COMPANY, TO CONTINUE TO MEET THE NYSE MKT’S LISTING STANDARDS; THE REACTION OF TKAT’s CUSTOMERS,
PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, COLLABORATORS, SERVICES PROVIDERS OR SUPPLIERS TO THE BUSINESS COMBINATION; UNEXPECTED COSTS, LIABILITIES
OR DELAYS IN THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TRANSACTION; THE OUTCOME OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION; THE OCCURRENCE OF
ANY EVENT, CHANGE OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD GIVE RISE TO THE TERMINATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TRANSACTION AGREEMENT; AND
GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
THE
FOREGOING LIST OF FACTORS IS NOT EXCLUSIVE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THESE AND OTHER RISK FACTORS ARE CONTAINED IN TKAT’S
MOST RECENT FILINGS WITH THE SEC. ALL SUBSEQUENT WRITTEN AND ORAL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONCERNING TKAT AND NFT, THE BUSINESS COMBINATION
TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR OTHER MATTERS AND ATTRIBUTABLE TO TKAT, NFT, TKAT’S SHAREHOLDERS OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF
OF ANY OF THEM ARE EXPRESSLY QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY THE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS ABOVE. READERS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE
RELIANCE UPON ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE MADE. NEITHER TKAT, NFT, NOR TKAT’S SHAREHOLDERS
UNDERTAKE OR ACCEPT ANY OBLIGATION OR UNDERTAKING TO RELEASE PUBLICLY ANY UPDATES OR REVISIONS TO ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT TO REFLECT
ANY CHANGE IN THEIR EXPECTATIONS OR ANY CHANGE IN EVENTS, CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES ON WHICH ANY SUCH STATEMENT IS BASED.
Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item
1.01 of the Original 8-K is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Disposition
Agreement
On
November 1, 2022, Takung Art Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), Hong Kong Takung Art Company Limited (“Hong Kong
Takung”) and Hong Kong MQ Group Limited (“Hong Kong MQ”, together with Hong Kong Takung, the “Targets”),
the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, and Fecundity Capital Investment Co., Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), entered
into a certain share purchase agreement (the “Disposition SPA”). Pursuant to the Disposition SPA, the Purchaser agreed
to purchase the Targets in exchange for cash consideration of $1,500,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Upon the closing
of the transaction (the “Disposition”) contemplated by the Disposition SPA, the Purchaser will become the sole shareholder
of OneSmart BVI and as a result, assume all assets and liabilities of all the subsidiaries and VIE entities owned or controlled by OneSmart
BVI. The Company believes that the Disposition will not have a significant, material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. A copy of the Disposition SPA is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1
The
closing of the Disposition is subject to certain closing conditions including the payment of the Purchase Price, the receipt of a fairness
opinion from Access Partner Consultancy & Appraisals and the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
The
Disposition was approved by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company.
Below
is the Company’s structure chart before the completion of the Disposition.

Merger
Agreement
On
November 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NFT Limited
(“NFT”), a Cayman Islands exempt company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, among other things, the Company will merge with and into NFT, with NFT continuing as the surviving entity (the “Redomicile”).
The Redomicile will become effective at such time on the closing date as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware or at such other time specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
From
and after the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s stock, either common stock or preferred stock issued and outstanding
prior to the Effective Time (excluding certain excluding shares and dissenting shares, if any) will be automatically converted into Class
A Ordinary Shares of NFT on pro rata basis. Each share of NFT stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company will
be automatically cancelled and no payment will be made with respect thereto.
The
closing of the Redomicile is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions by the respective parties, including the approval
of the Merger Agreement and the contemplated transactions by the Company’s shareholders.
The
Redomicile was approved by the Board of the Company.
