STOCK ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

This STOCK ACQUISITION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 4, 2026 (the “Execution Date”), by and among ACEA Pharma, Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), ACEA Therapeutics, Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands, as the holder of 100% of the Equity Interests of the Company (the “Transferor”), and Phoenix Asia Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Transferee”). Each of the parties named above may be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings set forth in Article XII below.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Transferor owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (collectively, the “Company Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Transferee desires to purchase from the Transferor, and the Transferor desires to sell to the Transferee, the Company Shares, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, solely for the purposes of determining the aggregate agreed value of the Equity Consideration, the Parties have agreed that each Transferee Ordinary Share comprising the Equity Consideration shall be valued at the Reference Price.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Article I
ACQUISITION AND SALE OF THE COMPANY SHARES

Section 1.1 Acquisition and Sale

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Transferee shall acquire and accept the Company Shares from the Transferor, and the Transferor shall sell, convey, assign and transfer all right, title and interest in and to the Company Shares to the Transferee, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) for the consideration specified in Section 1.2.

Section 1.2 Closing

The closing of the acquisition and sale of the Company Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place as described in Article IX; provided, that the closing conditions set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived in writing as provided therein at or prior to the Closing. The date

on which the Closing occurs shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” Except as otherwise set forth herein, all proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all Parties at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously.

Article II
CONSIDERATION AND MANNER OF PAYMENT

Section 2.1 Payments at Closing

On the Closing Date, as consideration for the acquisition of the Company Shares, the Transferee shall, and shall cause its transfer agent to, issue and deliver to the Transferor one hundred million (100,000,000) newly-issued Transferee Ordinary Shares (the “Equity Consideration”) in book-entry form in the name of the Transferor (the “Contribution”). For the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Required Nasdaq Filings, any SEC Reports filed or furnished by the Transferee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, any allocation required under Section 351 of the Code, and any determination of aggregate transaction consideration hereunder, the Equity Consideration shall be ascribed an aggregate agreed value of one billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000.00), calculated by multiplying the Reference Price by the one hundred million (100,000,000) Transferee Ordinary Shares comprising the Equity Consideration (the “Agreed Equity Value”). The aggregate consideration payable by the Transferee to the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be ascribed the value of one billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000.00). For the avoidance of doubt, the Reference Price is a contractual reference agreed between the Parties solely for the purposes described in this Section 2.1(a), including the determination of the Agreed Equity Value, and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by either the Transferee or the Transferor as to the fair value or fair market value of the Transferee Ordinary Shares at the Execution Date, the Closing Date, or any other date, in each case for financial reporting, valuation, taxation, or any other purpose not expressly contemplated herein. The Parties agree that, as between the Parties, the Agreed Equity Value constitutes the binding, fixed purchase price for the Company Shares for all purposes under this Agreement and shall not be subject to adjustment, re‑calculation, or re‑determination except in the case of fraud. For all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, the Contribution is intended to be a tax-deferred Contribution described in Section 351(a) of the Code.

Article III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Transferee as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date (except where a representation or warranty speaks as of a specific date, in which case as of such date) as follows:

The Company is duly qualified to conduct

its business as a foreign entity and is in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction(s) listed on Schedule 3.1, which are all of the jurisdictions where the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its Assets requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Set forth on Schedule 3.1 are all the names (i.e. “trading” or “doing business as” names) under which the Company is currently or has ever conducted its business.

Section 3.2 Authorization; Enforceability

The Company has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Other Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements to which it is a party, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Agreements to which it is a party, and such actions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Transferor and of the Company’s board of directors. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and the Other Agreements to which the Company is a party have been, or will be at the Closing, duly executed and delivered by the Company, and this Agreement and the Other Agreements constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms and conditions, except as limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a Legal Proceeding in equity or at law (clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “General Enforceability Exceptions”).

Section 3.5 No Violation

Subject to the receipt of the approvals and to the filing of notices as contemplated by Section 3.5, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Other Agreements to which it is a party, nor the performance by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (a) constitute a default under the Organizational Documents of the Company, (b) result in a default, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration, or require any Material Contract or Material Licenses and Permits, or (c) to the Company’s Knowledge, conflict with or violate any Laws applicable to the Company or by which any of the Company’s Assets are bound.

Section 3.6 Consents

In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim after the Closing between any of the Parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement (other than with respect to the determinations by an independent, nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Transferee and the Transferor (the “Independent Accountant”)), the Parties shall attempt to resolve such dispute among themselves within thirty (30) calendar days from the date either Party sends written notice of such dispute to the other Party. If the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within such period, the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration, before three (3) arbitrators, which shall be the sole and exclusive procedure for the resolution of any such dispute.

conclusive upon all Parties hereto. All rulings of the arbitrators shall be in writing, with the reasons for the ruling given, and shall be delivered to the Parties hereto. Each Party shall pay the fees of its respective designated arbitrator and its own costs and expenses of the arbitration and the fees of the third arbitrator shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by each of the Parties; provided that the arbitrators shall have the discretion to equitably allocate all fees and expenses of the arbitration (both of the arbitrators and the Parties themselves) based on the nature and outcome of the dispute. The place of the arbitration shall be New York, New York. Any arbitration award may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof and the Parties hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of any competent jurisdiction for purposes of the enforcement of any arbitration award. The Parties agree that after a clear and specific factual finding has been made with respect to a particular factual matter by the arbitrators pursuant to this Section 13.16 or by the Independent Accountant, such clear and specific factual finding shall be deemed to have been finally determined by the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement and, thereafter, no Party shall have the right to seek any contrary determination in connection with any later arbitration procedure.

Neither any failure nor any delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or the Other Agreements can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless such waiver or renunciation is in writing and signed by the other Parties, (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (c) no notice or demand by one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party, or a waiver of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the Other Agreements.

Section 13.18 Time of the Essence

Time is of the essence with respect to all time periods and dates set forth in or referenced in this Agreement and the Other Agreements.

Section 13.19 Mutual Release
