THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
AND NO STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF OUR
OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE VOTED TO AUTHORIZE THE CORPORATE ACTIONS. THE NUMBER OF VOTES RECEIVED IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY
THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT AND NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL CONSEQUENTLY BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THESE MATTERS.
VOTING AND VOTE REQUIRED.
Section 78.320 of Chapter 78 of
the NRS provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum
number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose
of such action. The NRS, however, require that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide notice of
the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to all stockholders who were entitled to vote upon the action but who have not consented
to the action.
As of the Record Date, MVNC had
308,958,835 shares of common stock outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The
holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock of MVNC is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders together
with the Common Stock holders with each one share of Series A Preferred Stock having 200 votes. The voting power representing not less
than 1,154,479,418 shares of common stock (expressed to account for the voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock) is required to pass
any stockholder resolutions. Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the NRS, the following stockholders holding an aggregate of 2,018,226,773
shares of common stock, or approximately 87.41% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the Record Date (expressed to account
for the voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock), delivered an executed written consent dated December 28, 2024, authorizing the
Corporate Actions.

Those temporary advances are unsecured,
non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.
From time to time, our directors
advanced funds to us for working capital purpose. Those advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no fixed terms of repayment.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, companies which are controlled by Lee Ying Chiu Herbert, our director advanced $231,806 and Chan
Man Chung, our former executive officer and director advanced $0 to us, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, companies
which are controlled by Lee Ying Chiu Herbert, our former director advanced $1,462,877 and Chan Man Chung, our former executive officer
and director advanced $10,400 to us, respectively.
On April 1, 2022, the Company
entered into a Service Agreement (the “Service agreement”) with Marvel Digital Group Limited, a company controlled by Herbert
Lee, its controlling shareholder, pursuant to which Marvel Digital Group Limited agreed to provide staffing and back-office services to
the Company until the arrangement is terminated by the parties. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred
the related management service fee of $0 and $1,260,553 respectively.
In July 2022, our former wholly-owned
subsidiary Marvion Group Limited entered into a technical knowhow license and servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”)
with Total Chase Limited (“Total Chase”), a company controlled by Lee Ying Chiu Herbert, the former controlling shareholder
of the Company, pursuant to which the Company engaged Total Chase to develop the technical knowhow during a three-year term. Total Chase
is the parent company of Marvel Digital AI Limited (“MDAI”) that owns intellectual properties and provides technical development
services to Total Chase. The technical knowhow consists of visual intelligence engine, speech recognition engine, text analytics engine,
emotion recognition engine, motion recognition engine, AI agent creation engine, and metaverse development. Under the terms of the Servicing

above, we have not entered into any material transactions with any director, executive officer, and promoter, beneficial owner of five
percent or more of our common stock, or family members of such persons.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
Our board of directors currently
consists of CHAN Sze Yu, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, who does not qualify as an independent director
under the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market. As of the date hereof, we have not adopted a standard of independence
nor do we have a policy with respect to independence requirements for our board members or that a majority of our board be comprised of
“independent directors.”
Board Meetings
During fiscal year 2023, our
Board held acted by written consent [1] times. No director attended less than 75 percent of our Board or committee meetings of which
they were members. The work of the Company’s directors is performed not only at meetings of the Board, but also by consideration
of the Company’s significant business decisions through the review of documents and in numerous communications among Board members
and others.
Director Attendance at Annual Meeting
We have not yet developed a policy
regarding director attendance at annual meetings of the stockholders. We expect all current directors to attend our future annual stockholders
meeting.
Committees of Our Board
We have not yet established Compensation,
Audit, and Nominations and Corporate Governance committees nor do we have an Audit Committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)
of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Currently, the functions of these committees are performed by our entire Board
of Directors. We hope to establish these committees and appoint an Audit Committee financial expert as our business develops.
Consideration of Director Nominees
Our policy is to consider properly
submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board as described below under “Identifying and Evaluating
Nominees for Directors” and “Stockholder Proposals.” In evaluating nominations, the Board seeks to achieve a balance
of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board and to address the membership criteria set forth below under “Board Diversity
and Director Qualifications.”
Board Diversity and Director
Qualifications
Although there is no specific
board diversity policy in place presently, our Board does consider such factors as it deems appropriate consistent with criteria which
may be established by our Board from time to time. Our goal in selecting directors for nomination to our Board is generally to seek to
create a well-balanced team that combines diverse experience, skill and intellect of seasoned directors in order to enable us to pursue
our strategic objectives. We have not reduced the qualifications for service on our Board to a checklist of specific standards or specific,
minimum qualifications, skills or qualities. Rather, we seek, consistent with the vacancies existing on our Board at any particular time
and the interplay of a particular candidate’s experience with the experience of other Directors, to select individuals whose business
experience, knowledge, skills, diversity and integrity would be considered a desirable addition to our Board and any committees thereof.
We make determinations as to Director
selection based upon the facts and circumstances at the time of the receipt of the Director candidate recommendation. Applicable considerations
include: whether we are currently looking to fill a new position created by an expansion of the number of Directors, or a vacancy that
may exist on our Board; whether the current composition of our Board is consistent with the criteria described in our charter; whether
the candidate submitted possesses the qualifications that are generally the basis for selection of candidates to our Board; and whether
the candidate would be considered independent under the rules of the NYSE and our standards with respect to Director independence.
Identifying and Evaluating
Nominees for Directors
We may utilize a variety of methods
for identifying and evaluating nominees for Director. We consider the appropriate size of our Board and whether any vacancies on our Board
are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, we will consider various
potential candidates for Director. Candidates may come to our attention through current Board members, professional search firms, shareholders
or other persons. As described above, we consider properly submitted nominations for candidates for our Board. Following verification
of the recommending shareholder’s status, recommendations are considered by the Board its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Communications with Our Board
Stockholders and interested parties
who wish to contact our Board, a committee thereof, the presiding non-management director of executive sessions or any individual director
are invited to do so by writing to:
Board of Directors of Marvion Inc.
c/o Corporate Secretary
Room 1401, 14/F, Phase 1, Austin Tower,
22-26 Austin Avenue, Jordan
Kowloon, Hong Kong
All communications will be forwarded
to our Board of Directors, the specified committee or the specified individual director, as appropriate.
Board Leadership Structure
We have designated CHAN Sze Yu
to serve as executive member of the Board upon re-election to the Board. As the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary
and Director of the Company, we believe that Mr. Chan will bring to the Board extensive experience and familiarity with our business in
particular and its industries generally. We believe this background enhances the role of executive members of the Board in the development
of long-term strategic plans and oversight of senior management in the implementation of those plans.
As our business operations and
processes mature, we expect to appoint independent directors as suitable candidates become available. We anticipate that these independent
directors will comprise and chair our future Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee as they
are established. Each such independent directors will have with opportunities to meet in executive sessions without management present
at the time of each regular Board meeting and additionally as deemed appropriate or necessary. Because Mr. Chan is not independent under
NASDAQ standards, the chair at these executive sessions will rotate among the chairman of the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee
and the Nominating and Governance Committee. We believe that this structure will allow multiple directors to exercise important leadership
roles, and will also provide for focused engagement by the Board committees and their chairs in their respective areas of responsibility.
We believe that this structure, once established, will help facilitate clear and open communications between the Board of Directors and
senior management, while providing for active oversight by independent directors.
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Our management team is primarily
responsible for the day-to-day assessment and management of the Company’s risk exposure. The Board of Directors provides oversight
in connection with these efforts, with a particular focus on the most significant risks facing us. The Board of Directors believes that
communication between the management team and the Board of Directors is essential for both effective risk management and for meaningful
oversight. To this end, the Board of Directors meets with our Chief Executive Officer and the other members of our senior management team
to discuss strategies, key challenges, and risks and opportunities for us. Management team members make themselves available to the Board
of Directors to answer questions regarding the Company’s most significant issues, including risks affecting the Company.
In order to help facilitate its
risk oversight responsibilities, the Board of Directors intends to utilize each of its committees when formed in the future to oversee
specific areas of risk that are appropriately related to the committee’s areas of responsibility once such committees are established.
The Audit Committee will assist the Board of Directors in discharging its oversight responsibilities in the areas of internal control
over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and legal and regulatory compliance. The Audit Committee will discuss with
management, the internal audit group and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management.
The Audit Committee will also discuss with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has
taken to monitor and control such exposure. The Compensation Committee will assist the Board of Directors in discharging its oversight
responsibilities regarding the risks related to the attraction and retention of personnel as well as the risks associated with the design
of compensation programs and arrangements applicable to both executive officers and to all employees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee will establish, monitor and evaluate the implementation of our corporate governance policies. While the Board committees will
be responsible for initially monitoring certain risks, the entire Board of Directors will be kept informed of the significant risks facing
the Company through management and committee reports about such risks and the steps being taken to mitigate these risks.
Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices
Our Board of directors and human
resources staff conducted an assessment of potential risks that may arise from our compensation programs. Based on this assessment, we
concluded that our policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking that would be reasonably likely to have
material adverse effect on the Company. The assessment included our cash incentive programs, which awards non-executives with cash bonuses
for punctuality. Our compensation programs are substantially identical among business units, corporate functions and global locations
(with modifications to comply with local regulations as appropriate). The risk-mitigating factors considered in this assessment included:
|
· |
the alignment of pay philosophy, peer group companies and compensation amounts relative to local competitive practices to support our business objectives; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
effective balance of cash, short- and long-term performance periods, caps on performance-based award schedules and financial metrics with individual factors and Board and management discretion. |
Employee, Director and Officer Hedging
We have not adopted any practice
or policy regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments
(including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge
or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. As such, our employees, officer,
directors or their designees are generally permitted to engage in these transactions.
Code of Conduct
We have not yet adopted a code
of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer principal accounting officer or controller in light
of our Company’s current stage of development. We expect to adopt a code of ethics in the near future.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our executive compensation philosophy
is to create a long-term direct relationship between pay and our performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to provide
a balanced total compensation package over the executive’s career with us. The compensation program objectives are to attract, motivate
and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding
executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. The compensation package
of our named executive officers consists of two main elements:
|
1. |
base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; and |
|
|
|
|
2. |
discretionary bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives. |
Process for Setting Executive Compensation
Until such time as we establish
a Compensation Committee, our Board is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to
the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation
remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. We expect to annually review
and approve for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s
compensation. We process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures)
used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, we expect to review and approve the base salary, equity-incentive
awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers.
The Chief Executive Officer periodically
provides the Board with an evaluation of each named executive officer’s performance, based on the individual performance goals and
objectives developed by the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year, as well as other factors. The Board provides an evaluation
for the Chief Executive Officer. These evaluations serve as the bases for bonus recommendations and changes in the compensation arrangements
of our named executives.
Our Compensation Peer Group
We currently engage in informal
market analysis in evaluating our executive compensation arrangements. As the Company and its businesses mature, we may retain compensation
consultants that will assist us in developing a formal benchmark and selecting a compensation peer group of companies similar to us in
size or business for the purpose of comparing executive compensation levels.
Program Components
Our executive compensation program
consists of the following elements:
Base Salary
Our base salary structure is designed
to encourage internal growth, attract and retain new talent, and reward strong leadership that will sustain our growth and profitability.
The base salary for each named executive officer reflects our past and current operating profits, the named executive officer’s
individual contribution to our success throughout his career, internal pay equity and informal market data regarding comparable positions
within similarly situated companies. In determining and setting base salary, the Board considers all of these factors, though it does
not assign specific weights to any factor. The Board generally reviews the base salary for each named executive officer on an annual basis.
For each of our named executive officers, we review base salary data internally obtained by the Company for comparable executive positions
in similarly situated companies to ensure that the base salary rate for each executive is competitive relative to the market.
Discretionary Bonus
The objectives of our bonus awards
are to encourage and reward our employees, including the named executive officers, who contribute to and participate in our success by
their ability, industry, leadership, loyalty or exceptional service and to recruit additional executives who will contribute to that success.

STOCKHOLDER ACTION NO. 3
ADOPTION OF THE 2023 PLAN
Background of and Reasons for Adopting the 2023
Plan
On September 19, 2023, the board
of directors of the Company approved the Marvion Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan provides
for the grant of awards to eligible employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors in the form of options, restricted
stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, other stock-based awards or dividend equivalents (each,
an award). This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the 2023 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the 2023 Plan, which is filed as Annex A to this Information Statement.
The 2023 Plan was approved by
the Voting Stockholders on December 28, 2024, in order to ensure (i) favorable federal income tax treatment for grants of incentive stock
options under Section 422 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) eligibility
to receive a federal income tax deduction for certain compensation paid under the 2024 Plan by complying with Rule 162(m) of the Code.
The Company originally reserved a total of 17,000,000,000 shares of our authorized common stock for issuance under the 2023 Plan. On May
8, 2024, we effectuated a 3000:1 reverse stock split of our Common Stoc, (the “Reverse Split”), As a result, the 17,000,000,000
shares initially approved and reserved under the 2023 Plan were equitably reduced to 5,666,667 shares of Common Stock.
The 2023 Plan was established
to maintain and enhance the key policies and practices adopted by our management and board of directors to align employee and stockholder
interests. In addition, our future success depends, in large part, upon our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting,
retaining and motivating key personnel. We believe that the adoption of the 2023 Plan is essential to permit our management to continue
to provide long-term, equity-based incentives to present and future employees.
Summary of the 2023 Plan
The principal terms of the 2023
Plan are summarized below. This summary is not a complete description of the 2023 Plan, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the complete text of the 2023 Plan document which is attached as Annex A hereto.
Shares Available for Issuance
We reserved 17,000,000,000 shares
to be issued under the 2023 Plan (plus certain other Shares related to awards which are forfeited, repurchased or used to satisfy the
exercise price or tax withholding on an award). This number was equitably reduced to 5,666,667 shares of Common Stock after the Reverse
Split. The number of Shares reserved for grant and issuance under the 2023 Plan increases automatically on January 1 of each of the calendar
years during the term of the 2023 Plan, which will continue through and including September 11, 2033, by a number of Shares equal to the
lesser of (i) 2.5% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of
increase or (ii) such number of Shares determined by the Board; provided, however, that such limitation may be increased subject to approval
by the Company’s stockholders (the “Evergreen Feature”).
The 2023 Plan authorizes the award
of RSUs, stock options, RSAs, RSU’s, SARs, performance awards and other stock based awards and dividend equivalents (each as more
fully described below). No person will be eligible to receive more than 4,000,000,000 Shares in any 12 month period under the 2023 Plan.
The maximum fair market value, as determined on the date of grant, of Awards granted for services as a Director during any twelve (12)-month
period shall not exceed $2,000,000. Any awards in Shares or cash that are made outside of the 2023 Plan and permitted by applicable listing
requirements are not subject to these limitations.
Administration
The 2023 Plan is administered
by our Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee, if any, that may be designated by the Board to administer the Plan
(the “Administrator”). The Administrator has the authority to construe and interpret the 2023 Plan, select participants and
grant awards, and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2023 Plan. The Committee may delegate
to the Board or to one or more other committees of the Board comprised of one or more independent Directors the authority to grant Awards
to Employees who are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Further, the Committee may delegate to the Governance Committee
of the Board the authority to make non-discretionary (routine) Awards to Directors, including to determine which Director shall receive
an Award, the time or times when such an Award shall be made, the terms and conditions of such an Award, the type of Award that shall
be made to a Director, the number of shares subject to such an Award, and the value of such an Award; provided, however, that the Committee
may not delegate its authority to grant discretionary (non-routine) Awards to Directors. The Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive
Officer or one or more other senior officers of the Company its administrative functions under this Plan with respect to the Awards. Any
delegation described in this paragraph shall contain such limitations and restrictions as the Committee may provide and shall comply in
all respects with the requirements of applicable law, including the Nevada Revised Statutes. The Committee may engage or authorize the
engagement of a third party administrator or administrators to carry out administrative functions under the Plan.
Eligibility
The 2023 Plan provides for the
grant of awards to our employees, directors, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors, provided the consultants, independent
contractors, directors, and advisors render services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
As of December 31, 2023, all of our 47 employees (including each of our executive officers) were eligible to participate in the 2023 Plan.
The basis for participation in the 2023 Plan is the Administrator’s decision, in its sole discretion, that an award to an eligible
participant will further the 2023 Plan’s purposes of providing incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose
present and potential contributions are important to our success and the success of our affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to
participate in our future performance through the grant of awards. In exercising its discretion, the Administrator will consider the recommendations
of management and the purposes of the 2023 Plan.
Forms of Awards
The following is a description
of the types of awards permitted to be issued under the 2023 Plan. As of the date of this report, the Company had issued an aggregate
of 5,644,744 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2023 Plan. No other awards had been issued under the 2023 Plan.
Stock Options. The 2023
Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Code only to our employees. All awards other
than incentive stock options, including awards of non-qualified stock options, may be granted to our employees, directors, consultants,
independent contractors, and advisors, provided the consultants, independent contractors, and advisors render services not in connection
with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. The exercise price of each stock option must be at least equal
to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted to 10% stockholders
must be at least equal to 110% of that value. The maximum term of options granted under the 2023 Plan is seven years or, in the case of
an incentive stock option granted to 10% stockholders, five years.
Restricted Stock Award.
An RSA is an offer by us to sell Shares subject to restrictions. The price, if any, of an RSA will be determined by the Administrator.
These awards are subject to forfeiture or repurchase prior to vesting as a result of termination of employment or failure to achieve certain
vesting conditions.
Restricted Stock Units.
An RSU is an award that covers a number of Shares that may be settled upon vesting in cash, by the issuance of the underlying Shares
or a combination of both. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting as a result of termination of employment or failure
to achieve certain vesting conditions.
Stock Appreciation Rights.
SARs provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or Shares, to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value
of our common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price up to a maximum amount of cash or number of Shares. These awards
are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting as a result of termination of employment or failure to achieve certain vesting conditions.
Performance Awards.
A performance award is an award that covers an amount of cash or a number of Shares that may be settled upon achievement of the pre-established
performance conditions in cash or by issuance of the underlying shares. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to vesting as a result
of termination of employment or failure to achieve the performance conditions.
Other Awards and Dividend Equivalents.
The Committee is authorized to grant other stock-based awards to any employee, consultant or director. The number or value of shares
of Common Stock of any other stock-based award shall be determined by the Committee and may be based upon one or more performance targets
based on one or more performance measures or any other specific criteria, including service to the Company or any affiliate, as determined
by the Committee.
Dividend equivalents may be granted
by the Committee based on dividends declared on shares of Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates with respect to dividends
with record dates that occur during the period between the date an Award is granted to a Participant and the date such Award vests, is
exercised, is distributed or expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents will be converted to cash or additional
shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such restrictions and limitations as may be determined by the Committee.
Additional Provisions
Awards granted under the 2023
Plan may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order, or if vested, with the consent of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Stock, once vested and free
of any restrictions, may be transferred at will.
Stock options granted under the
2023 Plan generally may be exercised for a period of three months after the termination of the optionee’s service to us, except
in the case of death or permanent disability, in which case the options may be exercised for up to twenty four months following termination
of the optionee’s service to us. Unless otherwise set forth in a participant’s award agreement, vesting of RSUs, RSAs, SARs,
performance awards and stock bonus awards ceases on such participant’s termination of service.
Change of Control or Other Corporate Transactions
If we experience a change in control
transaction, outstanding awards, including any vesting provisions, may be assumed or substituted by the successor company. Outstanding
awards that are not assumed or substituted may, at the discretion of the Committee, be accelerated, replaced with other rights or property
of similar value, be terminated and replaced by cash or the terms and conditions of such outstanding awards (including adjustments to
the exercise price) may be otherwise equitably adjusted.
In the event there is a specified
type of change in our capital structure without our receipt of consideration, such as a stock split, appropriate adjustments will be made
to the number of Shares reserved under the 2023 Plan, the maximum number of Shares that can be granted in a calendar year, and the number
of Shares and exercise price, if applicable, of all outstanding awards under the 2023 Plan.
Repricing
The Board and the Administrator
may not take action to impair the rights of a participant with respect to any outstanding award without the consent of the participant.
Further, the Board nor the Committee may not, without approval of the stockholders of the Company, or except as provided under Paragraph
XIII of the 2023 Plan, (a) increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan, (b) reduce the price per
share of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan, or (c) cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation
Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the per share price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the fair market
value of the underlying shares of Common Stock.
Amendment and Termination
The 2023 Plan will terminate in
September 2033 (ten years following the date the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the 2023 Plan), unless it is terminated
earlier by the Board. The Board may amend or terminate the 2023 Plan at any time, which may be without shareholder approval, unless required
by applicable law or listing standards.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief summary
of the federal income tax consequences applicable to awards granted under the 2023 Plan based on federal income tax laws in effect on
the date of this Information Statement. The rules governing the tax treatment of such awards are quite technical, so the following discussion
of tax consequences is necessarily general in nature and is not complete. In addition, statutory provisions are subject to change, as
are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. Finally, this discussion does not address the tax
consequences under applicable state and local law.
This summary is not intended to
be exhaustive and does not address all matters that may be relevant to a particular participant. The summary does not discuss the tax
laws of any state, municipality, or foreign jurisdiction, or gift, estate, excise, payroll, or other tax laws other than federal income
tax law. The following is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purposes of avoiding taxpayer penalties. Because
circumstances may vary, we advise all participants to consult their own tax advisors under all circumstances.
Incentive Stock Options (ISOs).
An optionee generally realizes no taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an ISO. However, the exercise of an ISO may result in an
alternative minimum tax liability to the employee. With some exceptions, a disposition of shares purchased under an ISO within two years
from the date of grant or within one year after exercise produces ordinary income to the optionee equal to the value of the shares at
the time of exercise less the exercise price. The same amount is deductible by the Company as compensation, provided that the Company
reports the income to the optionee. Any additional gain recognized in the disposition is treated as a capital gain for which the Company
is not entitled to a deduction. However, if the optionee exercises an ISO and satisfies the holding period requirements, the Company may
not deduct any amount in connection with the ISO. If a sale or disposition of shares acquired with the ISO occurs after the holding period,
the employee will recognize long-term capital gain or loss at the time of sale equal to the difference between proceeds realized and the
exercise price paid. In general, an ISO that is exercised by the optionee more than three months after termination of employment is treated
as an NQSO. ISOs are also treated as NQSOs to the extent that they first become exercisable by an individual in any calendar year for
shares having a fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) in excess of $100,000.
Non-Qualified Stock Options
(NQSOs). An optionee generally has no taxable income at the time of grant of an NQSO but realizes income in connection with exercise
of the option in an amount equal to the excess (at the time of exercise) of the fair market value of shares acquired upon exercise over
the exercise price. The same amount is deductible by the Company as compensation, provided that, in the case of an employee option, the
Company reports the income to the employee. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of the shares, any recognized gain or loss after the date
of exercise is treated as capital gain or loss for which the Company is not entitled to a deduction.
SARs. Generally, the recipient
of a SAR will not recognize taxable income at the time the SAR is granted. If a participant receives the appreciation inherent in the
SAR in cash, the cash will be taxed as ordinary income to the participant at the time it is received. If a participant receives the appreciation
inherent in the SAR in shares, the spread between the then-current market value and the base price will be taxed as ordinary income to
the participant at the time it is received. In general, there will be no federal income tax deduction allowed to the Company upon the
grant or termination of SARs. However, upon the settlement of a SAR, the Company will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of
ordinary income the recipient is required to recognize as a result of the settlement.
Restricted Stock Awards.
The recipient of a RSA will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes in the year of the award, provided that the
shares are subject to restrictions (that is, they are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). However, the recipient
may elect under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to recognize compensation income in the year of the award in an amount equal
to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the award (less the purchase price, if any, paid for such shares), determined without
regard to the restrictions. If a Section 83(b) election is made, the capital gain/loss holding period for such shares commences on the
date of the award. Any further change in the value of the shares will be taxed as a capital gain or loss only if and when the shares are
disposed of by the recipient. If the recipient does not make a Section 83(b) election, the fair market value of the shares on the date
the restrictions lapse will be treated as compensation income to the recipient and will be taxable in the year the restrictions lapse,
and the capital gain/ loss holding period for such shares will also commence on such date.
Restricted Stock Units.
No income generally will be recognized upon the award of RSUs. The recipient of an RSU generally will be subject to tax at ordinary income
rates on the market price of unrestricted shares on the date that such shares are transferred to the participant under the award (reduced
by any amount paid, if any, by the participant for such RSUs), and the capital gain/loss holding period for such shares will also commence
on such date.
Gain or Loss on Sale or Exchange
of Shares
In general, gain or loss from
the sale or exchange of shares of common stock granted or awarded under the 2023 Plan will be treated as capital gain or loss, provided
that the shares are held as capital assets at the time of the sale or exchange. However, if certain holding period requirements are not
satisfied at the time of a sale or exchange of shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option (a “disqualifying disposition”),
a participant generally will be required to recognize ordinary income upon such disposition.
Deductibility by Company
The Company generally is not allowed
a deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. However, if a participant is required to recognize
ordinary income as a result of a disqualifying disposition, we will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income
so recognized. In general, in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option (including an Incentive Stock Option that is treated as a Non-Qualified
Stock Option), a stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance grants, and stock awards, the Company
will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by a participant, provided that certain income
tax reporting requirements are satisfied.
Performance-Based Compensation
Subject to certain exceptions,
Section 162(m) of the Code disallows federal income tax deductions for compensation paid by a publicly-held corporation to certain executives
(generally the five highest paid officers) to the extent the amount paid to an executive exceeds $1 million for the taxable year. The
2023 Plan has been designed to allow the Compensation Committee to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units, and performance grants that qualify under an exception to the deduction limit of Section 162(m) for performance-based
compensation.
New Plan Benefits
Awards under the 2023 Plan are
within the discretion of the Administrator. As a result, the benefits that will be awarded under the 2023 Plan, including to our non-employee
directors, are not determinable at this time.
Existing Plan Benefits to Named
Executive Officers and Others

STOCKHOLDER ACTION NO. 4
AMENDMENT TO THE 2023 PLAN TO EFFECT AN INCREASE
IN THE AUTHORIZED SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE
General
On September 19, 2023,the Board
adopted the 2023 Plan and on December 28, 2024, our Board approved an amendment to the 2023 Plan (the “Plan Amendment”) to
effect an increase in the number of shares that remain available for issuance under the 2023 Plan by an additional 31,408,394 shares up
to an aggregate of 37,075,060 shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan. The principal terms of the Plan Amendment are summarized
below. This summary is not a complete description of the Plan Amendment, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete
text of the Plan Amendment which is attached as Annex B hereto.
Why We Approved the Plan Amendment
The Board and Voting Stockholders
have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to approve the Plan Amendment to increase the number
of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan by an additional 31,408,394 shares up to an aggregate of 37,075,060 shares available
under the 2023 Plan.
Before the Plan Amendment, the
number of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan would be too limited to effectively operate as an incentive and retention
tool for employees, officers, directors, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates (as defined in the 2023
Plan). The 2023 Plan and the approved increase will enable us to continue our policy of equity ownership by employees, officers, directors,
non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates as an incentive to contribute to the creation of long-term value
for our stockholders. Absent sufficient equity incentives, we would need to consider additional cash-based incentives to provide a market-competitive
total compensation package necessary to attract, retain and motivate the talent that is critical to driving our success. Payment of cash
incentives would then reduce the cash available for product development, marketing, operations, and other corporate purposes.
We believe that our continued
ability to offer equity incentive awards under the 2023 Plan are critical to our ability to continue to attract, motivate, and retain
highly qualified executives and employees. We believe that the 2023 Plan has been an effective component of our compensation program and
has heightened our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives and employees. We further believe that the awards
granted under the 2023 Plan have provided an effective inducement to incentivize plan participants to pursue our goals and objectives,
including the creation of long-term value for our stockholders. The Board has determined that the 2023 Plan as amended by the Plan Amendment
is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
STOCKHOLDER ACTION NO. 5
ADVISORY, NON-BINDING VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
(SAY-ON-PAY)
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, requires us to periodically seek a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders
to approve the compensation as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis (CD&A), tabular disclosures and narrative
sections accompanying the tabular disclosures in this proxy statement. Since the required vote is advisory, the result of the vote is
not binding upon the Board. Accordingly, the Voting Stockholders approved the following advisory resolution December __, 2024:
“RESOLVED FURTHER, that
the stockholders of Marvion Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation awarded by the company to the named executive officers,
as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, tabular disclosures, and other narrative executive compensation disclosures
in the information statement for the 2024 Stockholders Action as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission;”
The Board of Directors has created
a compensation program designed to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure the Company’s future success,
to provide incentives for increasing profits by awarding executives when individual and corporate goals are achieved and to align the
interests of executives and long-term stockholders.
The CD&A beginning on page
10 of this proxy statement describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to
achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the accompanying Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and
narrative which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Board of Directors believes that
the policies and procedures articulated in the CD&A are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executive
officers reported in this proxy statement reflects and supports these compensation policies and procedures.
Effect of Proposal
The proposal described above,
commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives shareholders the opportunity to express their views regarding the compensation
of the named executive officers by voting to approve or not approve such compensation as described in this proxy statement. This vote
is advisory and will not be binding upon the Company or the Board. However, the Company and the Board will carefully consider the outcome
of the advisory vote on executive compensation when considering future executive compensation arrangements. This non-binding resolution
on executive compensation was approved by the Voting Stockholders.
STOCKHOLDER ACTION NO. 6
ADVISORY, NON-BINDING VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF APPROVAL
OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (SAY-ON-FREQUENCY)
The Dodd-Frank Act requires us
to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, for their preference as to how frequently we
should consult an advisory Say-on-Pay vote. Stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer that we conduct future Say-on-Pay
votes every year, every two years or every three years. Stockholders also may abstain from casting a vote on this proposal.
Our Board of Directors has
determined that a Say-on-Pay vote that occurs once every three years is the most appropriate alternative for us. The
Board believes that a Say-on-Pay vote occurring every three years will provide our stockholders with sufficient time to evaluate the
effectiveness of the Company’s overall compensation philosophy, policies and practices in the context of our long-term
business results for the corresponding period, while avoiding an over-emphasis on short-term variations in compensation and business
results. A Say-on-Pay vote occurring every three years will also permit stockholders to observe and evaluate the effect of any
changes to our executive compensation policies and practices that have occurred since the last advisory vote on executive
compensation.
This vote is advisory, which means
that is not binding on the Company or the Board of Directors. The Company recognizes that the stockholders may have different
views as to the best approach and looks forward to hearing from the stockholders as to their preferences on the frequency of the Say-on-Pay
vote. The Board of Directors will carefully review the outcome of the frequency vote; however, when considering the frequency
of future Say-on-Pay votes, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the Company’s and the stockholders’ long-term best interest
to hold a Say-on-Pay vote more or less frequently than the frequency receiving the most votes cast by our stockholders.
This Voting Stockholders approved
to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation (Say-On-Pay) EVERY 3 YEARS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Information Available
The Company is subject to the
information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Exchange Act, the Company files periodic reports,
documents and other information with the SEC relating to its business, financial statements and other matters, including the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and any reports prior to or subsequent to that date. The Company’s
filings with the SEC are also available to the public from the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov.
Stockholder Communications
Stockholders wishing to communicate
with the Board may direct such communications to the Board c/o the Company, Attn: Secretary. The Secretary will present a summary of all
stockholder communications to the Board at subsequent Board meetings. The directors will have the opportunity to review the actual communications
at their discretion.
Delivery of Documents To Security Holders Sharing An Address
If hard copies of the materials
are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless
we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed
to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the
Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may
make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address
and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to the Company at Room
1401, 14/F, Phase 1, Austin Tower, 22-26 Austin Avenue, Jordan, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
If multiple stockholders sharing
an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each
stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call the Company’s principal executive offices.
Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate
mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such
request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.
