• You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because Raytech Holding is incorporated under British Virgin Islands law.
• As a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding is permitted to, and Raytech Holding will, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq Stock Exchange corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers.
