ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger
As previously disclosed, on April 14, 2023, Mega Matrix Corp. (the “Company”) and Mega Matrix Inc. (f/k/a MarsProtocol Inc.), an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“MPU Cayman”) entered into a definitive Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) relating to a proposed merger transaction where the Company is to merge with and into MPU Cayman.
On December 26, 2023, the Company, MPU Cayman and MPU Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MPU Cayman (“MPU Merger Sub”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Second A&R Merger Agreement”), amending and restating the Merger Agreement.
The Second A&R Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the MPU Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Redomicile Merger”), with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”). Following the Redomicile Merger, the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MPU Cayman.
At the effective time of the Redomicile Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share, of the Company (“MPU Common Stock”) will be converted into the right to receive one ordinary share, par value US$0.001 per share, of MPU Cayman (“MPU Cayman Ordinary Share”) and the Company’s rights and obligations under its securities, including but not limited to, convertible debentures, warrants and options that may be convertible into or exercisable into MPU Common Stock shall be assumed by MPU Caymen, and all reference therein to MPU Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to MPU Cayman Ordinary Shares.
At the Effective Time, MPU Cayman will repurchase the one MPU Cayman Ordinary Share that was held by the Company at a purchase price of US$0.001, which share shall be cancelled, and each share of capital stock of MPU Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Entity, and the shares of the Surviving Entity into which the shares of MPU Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Entity’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time.
In connection with the Redomicile Merger, the directors and officers of the Company at such time will be elected or appointed as the directors and officers of MPU Cayman (to the extent the directors and officers of MPU Cayman and the Company are not already identical), each such person to have the same office(s) with MPU Cayman (and the same class designations and committee memberships in the case of directors) as he or she held with the Company, with the directors to serve until the earlier of the next meeting of MPU Cayman stockholders at which an election of directors is required for the class to which they have been elected or until their successors are elected or appointed (or their earlier death, disability or retirement).
The Second A&R Merger Agreement has been approved by the Boards of Directors of each of the Company, MPU Merger Sub and MPU Cayman. The completion of the Redomicile Merger is subject to the required approval of the Company’s stockholders, requisite regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-4 filed by MPU Cayman related to the Redomicile Merger, and other customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the Second A&R Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company may exercise its discretion to terminate the Second A&R Merger Agreement, and therefore abandon the Redomicile Merger, at any time prior to the Effective Time, including after the adoption of the Second A&R Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders.
The foregoing description of the Second A&R Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second A&R Merger Agreement, attached as exhibit 2.1 hereto.

Additional information about the Redomicile Merger and where to find it
In connection with the proposed Redomicile Merger, the Company will cause MPU Cayman to file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form F-4 to register the ordinary shares of MPU Cayman to be issued to the stockholders of the Company. The registration statement will include a proxy statement/prospectus of the Company, which will be sent to the stockholders of the Company seeking their approval of the Redomicile Merger and related matters in addition to other matters. In addition, the Company may file other relevant documents concerning the proposed Redomicile Merger with the SEC.
This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. Stockholders of the Company are urged to read the registration statement on Form F-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus included within the registration statement and any other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Merger because they will contain important information about the Company, MPU Cayman and the proposed transaction.
