NOTICE and Proxy Form for Extraordinary General Meeting



(Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability under the Companies Ordinance) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING


NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) of Asia Interactive Services (HK) Ltd. (the “Company”) will be held at 11/F, 8 Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, Hong Kong on Friday, 25 June 2021 at 9:00 a.m. for the following purposes:

As ordinary businesses: 1. To approve and ratify Director George Varvitsiotis’ executive compensation as Managing Director/CEO and approve and ratify any and all past compensations up until the present. For the avoidance of doubt, this is intended to address an issue raised by plaintiff Howard Shapiro’s derivative litigation HCA 757 / 2021 where he claims that the ongoing Managing Director and CEO executive compensation has not been properly approved and should all be considered unauthorized loans to be paid back. Please see Appendix 1 of this notice for full information 2. To fully authorize the Board of Directors (BOD) to negotiate and execute a new Managing Director and CEO compensation contract within a reasonable time following this EGM. In the interim period, the shareholders agree that the CEO’s salary shall be $150,000 USD until such time as the BOD and CEO finalize the new executive CEO compensation contract. Please see Appendix 1 of this notice for full information 3. To re-elect retiring Directors a) Mr. Steven Lee b) Mr. George Varvitsiotis c) Mr. Avi Raju is not up for re-election 4. New Directors up for election by the shareholders a) Mr. Jason Abraham Shapiro b) Mr. Alexander Nicholas Stamires c) Mr. Chris Marriot (Chris Marriot will only accept election to the BOD if all litigation against the Company is removed) d) Any Shareholder may bring forward a nomination to the BOD which will be voted on by shareholders at the EGM.

Biographical information on the retiring and new directors standing for re-election and election to the BOD, respectively, is provided in Appendix 2 of this notice. Any shareholder nominating a candidate for director on the day of the EGM will be expected to provide candidate background information.


5. To fix the compensation for non-executive directors as 1.5% employment stock ownership and $1,500 USD per month, from their date of appointment. We note that this was already voted against by a majority of shareholders at the AGM on September 25, 2020, but the AGM was later disputed by BOD member and plaintiff Howard Shapiro in his litigation HCMP 1847 / 2020 against the Company. We therefore put the same item forward for a re-vote so it cannot be in dispute. The prior BOD voted in Favor for this compensation with 3 votes in favor ((Howard Shapiro, Jason Shapiro, and Alex Stamires), and 1vote against (George Varvitsiotis).


6. To remove the special double compensation exemption whereby “Part Time Executives” who also happened to be BOD members could receive double compensation as both executives and BOD members, which is prohibited. We note this special exemption only applied for Alex Nicholas Stamires who was then simultaneously “Part Time COO” and BOD member. The prior BOD voted in Favor of this special exemption for double compensation by a Vote of 2 in favor (Howard Shapiro and Jason Shapiro), 1 Vote Abstained (Alex Nicholas Stamires), and 1 vote against (George Varvitsiotis).


7. To re-appoint KS Liu as auditors of the Company and to authorize the Directors to fix their remuneration. We note, given the company’s first AGM on September 25, 2020 has been disputed by BOD member and plaintiff Howard Shapiro, this matter must therefore be voted on again so we can authorize our auditors to complete the 2020 audit.


8. Any other business


By Order of the Board
