Voting Deed, dated as of May 3, 2024, by and among Ainos, Inc., a Cayman Islands company, and ASE Test, Inc
Exhibit 4.1
VOTING DEED
THIS VOTING DEED (this “DEED”) is dated as of May 3, 2024, by and among AINOS INC., a Cayman Islands company (“Ainos KY”), and ASE TEST, INC. (“Stockholder”).
WHEREAS Stockholder is a stockholder of Ainos, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”);
WHEREAS the Company is currently traded on NASDAQ under the stock symbol “AIMD.”
NOW THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Shares Subject to Agreement. Stockholder agrees to vote all of its voting shares in the Company in the manner as shall be determined at the sole discretion of Ainos KY.
2. Additional Shares. If, after the date hereof, Stockholder acquires beneficial or record ownership of any additional shares of capital stock of the Company (any such shares, “Additional Shares”) as a result of acquisition by any means, or via stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or reorganization of the shares in the Company, the provisions of this Agreement shall thereafter be applicable to such Additional Shares until the end of the term of this Agreement.
3. Selling Restrictions. The Stockholder agrees, without the Ainos KY’s written consent, not to sell and transfer more than 20% of the shares of the Company held by the Stockholder in any given one-calendar-year period (with the first year commencing on the date of the Agreement) until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, if the Stockholder has not sold the full 20% of its shares in a given calendar year, any remaining unsold portion from that calendar year may be cumulatively carried over and added to the 20% quota for the following calendar year. By way of illustration, if the Stockholder sells 10% of its shares in the first calendar year, it may carry over the remaining 10% to the second calendar year such that the Stockholder is permitted to sell up to 30% of the shares in the second calendar year. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Stockholder may transfer the shares of the Company to any of its affiliates provided the transferee agrees to be subject to the terms of this Voting Deed by signing a voting deed substantially similar to this Deed. Stockholder agrees to notify Ainos KY at least five (5) business days before the day when Stockholder sells and transfers any shares of the Company.
