Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 30, 2022, HWGC Holdings Limited, a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Leong
Yee Ming, a member of the board of directors of the Company and the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary (the
"Purchaser"), and, for purposes of the assignment of certain intercompany debt,
Vitaxel Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is incorporated
in Malaysia ("Vitaxel").
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company sold to the Purchaser all
the issued and outstanding shares of Vitaxel and Vitaxel Online Mall Sdn Bhd, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which is incorporated in Malaysia
("Vionmall", and together with Vitaxel, the "Subsidiaries"). The business of the
Subsidiaries was the operating business of the Company until the recent
acquisitions of the Company of HWGG Capital PLC and Fintech Scion Limited. The
sale of the Subsidiaries was a condition to receiving regulatory approval from
the Labuan Financial Services Authority for the Company's acquisition of HWGG
Capital PLC. See the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on each of November 15, 2022, and November
30, 2022, regarding said acquisitions.
The Company sold the Subsidiaries for an aggregate purchase price of RM4,500,002
(the "Purchase Price"), with RM4,500,000 allocated for the purchase of Vitaxel
and RM2 for the purchase of Vionmall. The Purchase Price was paid by the
Purchaser's assumption of a certain amount of intercompany debt owed by the
Company to Vitaxel. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company and
Vitaxel assigned, and the Purchaser assumed, that portion of intercompany debt
equal to the Purchase Price and in full satisfaction of the Purchase Price.
Following the assumption of such debt by the Purchaser, the Company remains
indebted to Vitaxel for RM473,409, based on the total amount of RM4,973,411 due
from the Company to Vitaxel as of September 30, 2022.
The Agreement also contains representations, warranties, covenants, and
indemnities that are customary for transactions of this type. The foregoing
description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to,
and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of such document, which is
attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.24.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated herein by

On December 30, 2022, the Company completed the disposal of the Subsidiaries to
the Purchaser, who is a director and officer of the Company and has a material
relationship with the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the
proceeds for the disposal of the Subsidiaries totaled to RM4,500,002
(approximately 1,017,640 USD). These amounts were negotiated between the parties
