after the transaction is completed, Zhengyue Galaxy becomes a holding subsidiary of King Kong Games, and Hua Zhong Century holds a 2.36% stake in King Kong Games.

after the transaction, Huazhong Century entered the top ten shareholders of King Kong Game.

After the completion of this transaction, Zhengyue Galaxy will become a wholly owned subsidiary of King Kong Games.
