Filing Summary: Cre8 Enterprise Limited is filing an amendment to its registration statement on Form F-1 to register for an initial public offering of 1,525,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. The anticipated offering price is between US$4.00 and US$5.00 per share. This offering is contingent upon the successful listing of its shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, for which an application has been submitted. The dual-class share structure allows for differing voting rights, with Class B shares holding significantly more voting power. Following the offering, Cre8 Investments Limited will retain about 88.05% of the voting power, resulting in a concentration of control. The document emphasizes the risks associated with being a holding company based in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) with operations primarily in Hong Kong, and notes that regulatory scrutiny from PRC authorities could impact business operations and share value. Despite this, Cre8 BVI asserts that its current business structure is compliant with applicable laws and does not require regulatory approvals from PRC authorities for the offering. Investors should be aware of the risks related to cybersecurity and the changing legal landscape in Hong Kong and mainland China, which may affect the company’s ability to operate and maintain its public listing.
