WHAT PROPOSALS WILL BE ADDRESSED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

We will address the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

1. To elect Zhixin Liu, Fu Liu, Michael J. Antonoplos, Chun Kwok Wong and Yan Yang, each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors shall have been elected and qualified;

On the Record Date, we had 25,601,233 shares of issued and outstanding common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K will be made available at https://www.westcoaststocktransfer.com/dtss-proxy/ concurrently with these proxy solicitation materials.

The Company is furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, rather than mailing printed copies of these materials to each stockholder. We believe that this process should expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs incurred by us for the Annual Meeting and help to conserve natural resources. On or about May 5, 2023, we will mail to each stockholder of record and beneficial owners (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, in the form of a mailing titled “Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials”,”, that contains instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials, including this proxy statement and the Company’s Annual Report, on a website referred to in such notice and how to access a proxy card to vote.

If you are a “street name” holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and your broker or nominee is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares.

If you are a registered stockholder of record, meaning that your shares are registered in your name, you have the following voting options. You may vote:

WHY WOULD THE ANNUAL MEETING BE POSTPONED?

The Annual Meeting will be postponed if a quorum is not present on June 19, 2023. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of capital stock issued and outstanding entitled to vote thereat representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereat, present in person or represented by proxy will constitute a quorum and is required to transact business at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as shares present or represented at the meeting, but are not counted as votes cast. Shares held by brokers who do not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and who have not received voting instructions from their customers are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether stockholders have approved that matter, but they are counted as present for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

If any other matters are presented, your proxy will vote in accordance with his or her best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was printed, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

MAY I REVOKE MY PROXY?

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. You may revoke your proxy in the following ways:

• You may send in another proxy with a later date.

• You may notify us in writing (or if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal, by an officer or attorney of the corporation) at our principal executive offices before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your proxy.

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE EACH PROPOSAL?

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

A plurality of the eligible votes cast is required to elect director nominees. Consequently, only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward such nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Stockholders do not have any rights to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Broker non-votes will be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal, and abstentions will be counted as votes against the proposal.

Proposal 3: Approval of the Amendment No. 2 to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

The approval of Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy holding shares representing at least a majority of the votes so present or represented and entitled to be cast thereon. Broker non-votes will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal, and abstentions will be counted as votes against the proposal.

Other Business That Is Properly Brought Before the Annual Meeting.

If you do not give instructions to your bank or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote your shares in its discretion on “routine matters.” However, absent your instructions, the record holder will not be permitted to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, which are referred to as “broker non-votes,” properly brought before the meeting. The term “broker non-vote” refers to shares held by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee (for the benefit of its client) that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not instructed to vote on a particular proposal and does not have discretionary authority to vote on that proposal. Brokers and nominees do not have discretionary voting authority on certain non-routine matters and accordingly may not vote on such matters absent instructions from the beneficial holder. Discretionary items are proposals considered “routine” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (also applicable to NASDAQ-listed companies), such as the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Non-routine items for which brokers and nominees do not have discretionary voting power include the election of directors.

WHO BEARS THE COST OF SOLICITING PROXIES?

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form and will reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses involved in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners or soliciting their execution.

GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors oversees the business affairs of the Company and monitors the performance of management. The Board held two meetings during fiscal year 2022. In addition to meetings of the full Board of Directors, our Board has established an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. During fiscal year 2022, these Board committees held an additional nine meetings during the year. Specifically, the breakdown of the committee meetings for 2022 are as follows: four for the Audit Committee, four for the Compensation Committee, and one for the Governance Committee. We believe that such interaction between fellow Board members and with management provided proper oversight of the Company. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committee meetings of which such director was a member (held during the period for which such director was in office).

Our Board is currently comprised of five members, three of which are independent directors per the NASDAQ Stock Market rules. To date, we believe the size of our Board has been sufficient for a company of our size. However, as our company grows and further develops our product candidates, our Board has indicated that at the appropriate time it would like to add one additional director that would provide the Board with additional experience and skills.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (referred to herein as the “reporting persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our common stock. Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC and the written representations of our directors and executive officers, we believe that all reporting requirements for fiscal year 2022 were complied with by each person who at any time during the 2022 fiscal year was a director or an executive officer or held more than 10% of our common stock.

Board Committees

We established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Each of these committees complies with the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. At least one member of the Audit Committee is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and each member is “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 5605(a) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Our board has determined that Stephen (Chun Kwok) Wong meets those requirements. Our Board of Directors has adopted and approved a charter for each of these standing committees. The charters, which include the functions and responsibilities of each of the committees, can be found on our web site at http://www.dataseainc.com.

Audit Committee

Stephen (Chun Kwok) Wong, Michael J. Antonoplos and Yan Yang are the current members of our Audit Committee and Stephen (Chun Kwok) Wong serves as the chairperson. Each member of our Audit Committee meets the independence standards promulgated by the SEC and by NASDAQ as such standards apply specifically to members of audit committees. We adopted and approved a charter for the Audit Committee. In accordance with our Audit Committee Charter, our Audit Committee shall perform several functions, including:

• evaluate the independence and performance of, and assesses the qualifications of, our independent auditor, and engages such independent auditor;

• approve the plan and fees for the annual audit, quarterly reviews, tax and other audit-related services, and approves in advance any non-audit service to be provided by the independent auditor;

Compensation Committee

Yan Yang, Stephen (Chun Kwok) Wong and Michael J. Antonoplos are the current members of our Compensation Committee and Yan Yang is the chairperson. All members of our Compensation Committee are qualified as independent under the current definition promulgated by NASDAQ. The Board adopted and approved a Charter for the Compensation Committee. In accordance with the Compensation Committee’s Charter, the Compensation Committee shall be responsible for overseeing and making recommendations to the Board regarding the salaries and other compensation of our executive officers and general employees and providing assistance and recommendations with respect to our compensation policies and practices.

Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee

Michael J. Antonoplos, Yan Yang and Stephen (Chun Kwok) Wong are the current members of our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee and Michael J. Antonoplos serves as the chairperson. All members of our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee are qualified as independent under the current definition promulgated by NASDAQ. The Board adopted and approved a Charter for the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee prior to consummation of this offering. In accordance with the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee’s Charter, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee shall be responsible to identity and propose new potential director nominees to the Board for consideration and review our corporate governance policies.

Independence of the Board

As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board of Directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board. Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning her or his background, employment, and affiliations, our Board has determined that Stephen Wong, Michael J. Antonoplos and Yan Yang do not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq. In making this determination, the Board found that none of these directors had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company.

Board Member Attendance at Annual Meetings

We do not have a formal policy regarding Board attendance at our annual meetings, however, all of our directors are invited to the annual meeting and all of our directors at the time attended our prior annual meeting. For this upcoming 2022 Annual Meeting, Michael J. Antonoplos and Stephen (Chun Kwok) Wong are expected to miss the meeting since they are not able to travel to Beijing due to scheduling conflicts.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Zhixin Liu serves as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Our Board has no policy with regard to the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and believes, given the size of our company, it is appropriate for Zhixin Liu to serve in both roles. Currently, we do not have any independent director who serves as the Lead Independent Director of our Board. Our management is responsible for managing risks in our business, including developing processes to manage and monitor risks. The Board views its role as one of oversight. The Board focuses on understanding management’s risk management systems, the effectiveness of those systems, and the way in which management proactively manages risks. In addition, the Board utilizes the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee to manage risks that arise under each committee’s area of focus.

Nomination of Director Candidates

We receive suggestions for potential director nominees from many sources, including members of the Board, advisors, and stockholders. Any such nominations, together with appropriate biographical information, should be submitted to the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the manner discussed below. Any candidates submitted by a stockholder or stockholder group are reviewed and considered in the same manner as all other candidates.

Qualifications for consideration as a Board nominee may vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing board composition. However, minimum qualifications include high level leadership experience in business activities, breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Company, experience on other boards of directors, preferably public company boards, and time available for meetings and consultation on Company matters. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director candidates, but seeks a diverse group of candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board, to the Company and our stockholders. Candidates whose evaluations are favorable are recommended by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to the full Board for consideration. The full Board selects and recommends candidates for nomination as directors for stockholders to consider and vote upon at the annual meeting.

A stockholder wishing to nominate a candidate for election to our Board of Directors at any annual meeting at which the Board of Directors has determined that one or more directors will be elected must submit a written notice of his or her nomination of a candidate to the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (c/o the Corporate Secretary), providing the candidates name, biographical data and other relevant information together with a consent from the nominee. Pursuant to our Bylaws, the submission must be received at our principal executive offices 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing date of our previous year’s proxy statement so as to permit the Board of Directors time to evaluate the qualifications of the nominee.

Persons wishing to write to our Board, or to a specified director or committee of the Board, should send correspondence to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the Company’s executive offices. Electronic submissions of stockholder correspondence will not be accepted.

PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO OUR 2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Our Board of Directors, acting upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”), has approved the Amendment No.1 to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of the Common Stock, that are reserved thereunder by from 14,000,000 shares to 24,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). The Board recommends the Amendment be approved and adopted by the Company’s stockholders and directs that such proposal be submitted at the Annual Meeting.

As of the Record Date, we had issued shares of restricted stock or stock options as compensation to Company’s directors, independent directors and consultant of common stock in an aggregate of approximately 1,613,380 shares and approximately 2,386,620 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the Plan. There were 25 participants in the Plan as of the Record Date.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Plan and determined that the Plan requires additional available shares for issuance to provide flexibility with respect to stock-based compensation that the Compensation Committee believes is necessary to establish appropriate long-term incentives to achieve our objectives. Our Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to increase the number of shares of the Common Stock from 14,000,000 shares to 24,000,000 shares in order to attract and compensate employees, officers, directors and other eligible participants upon whose judgment, initiative and effort we depend. The issuance of award under the Plan to these eligible participants is designed to align the interests of such participants with those of our stockholders.

The proposed Amendment to the Plan increases the number of shares of common stock that may be issued as awards under the Plan by 10,000,000 shares. As amended, the Plan will continue to provide that all of the shares authorized for issuance (including the increased shares) may be granted as incentive stock options as long as other awards pursuant to the Plan and the Plan will also continue to provide for appropriate adjustments in the number of shares in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar transaction. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Appendix A and is incorporated by reference herein.

Shares Available

Our Board of Directors has authorized, subject to the stockholders’ approval, to reserve an additional 24,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, reorganization, rights offering, liquidation, or any similar change event of or by our company, appropriate adjustments will be made to the shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding awards. Shares available for awards under the Plan may be either newly-issued shares or treasury shares.

In certain circumstances, shares subject to an outstanding award may again become available for issuance pursuant to other awards available under the Plan. For example, shares subject to forfeited, terminated, canceled or expired awards will again become available for future grants under the Plan.

Administration

The Board has delegated the administration of the Plan to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has full and complete authority, in its discretion, but subject to the express provisions of the Plan, to designate participates; to determine the type or types of awards to be granted, to determine the number of awards to be granted and the time or times at which awards shall be granted; to establish the terms and conditions upon which awards may be exercised; to specify, at the time of grant, provisions relating to exercisability of awards and to accelerate or otherwise modify the exercisability of any awards. All determinations of the Compensation Committee are final and binding on all persons having an interest in the Plan or in any award made under the Plan. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan are borne by the Company.

Table of Contents

Eligibility

Eligible persons include: (i) individual employed by the Company or an Affiliate; provided, however, that no such employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement shall be an Eligible Person unless and to the extent that such eligibility is set forth in such collective bargaining agreement or in an agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) director of the Company or an Affiliate; (iii) consultant or advisor to the Company or an Affiliate, provided that if the Securities Act applies such persons must be eligible to be offered securities registrable on Form S-8 under the Securities Act; or (iv) prospective employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who have accepted offers of employment or consultancy from the Company or its Affiliates (and would satisfy the provisions of clauses (i) through (iii) above once he or she begins employment with or begins providing services to the Company or its Affiliates).

Term of the Plan

The Plan shall terminate automatically on August 22, 2028, unless terminated earlier by the Board, except with respect to Awards then outstanding. The Board may terminate this Plan or any portion thereof at any time pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Plan, and no Awards may be granted under the Plan after it is terminated.

Incentive Stock Options and Non-qualified Stock Options

All Options granted under this Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable award agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Officers, directors, and consultants of the Company who are not also employees shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.

No Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date the Stock Option was granted. However, if a grantee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, and the Stock Option is granted to such grantee, the term of the Stock Option shall be for no more than five (5) years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether any particular Stock Option shall become exercisable in one or more installments, specify the installment dates, and, within the limitations herein provided, determine the total period during which the Stock Option is exercisable. The exercise price of a Stock Option shall be payable on exercise of the option (i) in cash or by check, cash equivalent and/or vested Common Shares valued at the Closing Price at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Common Shares in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, however, that such Common Shares are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and; (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in accordance with applicable law, in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a fair market value (as determined by the Committee in its discretion) on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the Common Shares at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised that number of Common Shares having a Closing Price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares for which the Option was exercised. Any fractional Common Shares shall be settled in cash.

If a grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated, the unvested portion of such Stock Option shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the Option, and the vested portion of such Option shall remain exercisable for: (A) one year following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or Disability (with the determination of Disability to be made by the Committee on a case by case basis), but not later than the expiration of the Option Period; (B) for directors, officers and employees of the Company only, for the remainder of the Option Period following termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s Retirement (it being understood that any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option if exercise is not undertaken within 90 days of the date of Retirement); or (C) 90 calendar days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the Option Period.

21

Table of Contents

If a grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated, a director grantee ceases to be a director, or a consultant grantee ceases to be a consultant, the terms of any then outstanding Nonqualified Stock Option held by the grantee shall extend for a period ending on the earlier of the date established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant or three (3) months after the grantee’s last date of employment or cessation of being a director or consultant, and such Stock Option shall be exercisable to the extent it was exercisable as of the date of termination of employment or cessation of being a director or consultant.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units Award

Under the Plan, officers, employees, directors and consultants shall be eligible to receive grants of restrict stock (“Restricted Stock”). The Compensation Committee shall determine and designate from time to time those officers, employees, directors and consultants who are to be granted Restricted Stock and the number of shares of common stock subject to such award. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall make such terms and conditions applicable to the grant of Restricted Stock as may appear generally acceptable or desirable to the Compensation Committee.

If a grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated, a director grantee ceases to be a director, or a consultant grantee ceases to be a consultant, prior to the lapse of any restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock, then such Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and the Grantee shall return the certificates representing such Restricted Stock to the Company.

Under the Plan, officers, employees, directors, and consultants shall be eligible to receive grants of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) under this Plan. The Compensation Committee shall determine and designate from time to time those officers, employees, directors and consultants who are to be granted Restricted Stock Units and number of shares of common stock subject to such award. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, shall make such terms and conditions applicable to the grant of Restricted Stock Units as may appear generally acceptable or desirable to the Compensation Committee.

If a grantee’s employment with the Company is terminated, a director grantee ceases to be a director, or a consultant grantee ceases to be a consultant, prior to the lapse of any restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units, then such Restrict Stock Unit shall be forfeited and the grantee shall return the certificates representing such Restricted Stock to the Company.

Change in Control Provisions

If and only to the extent provided in the award agreement, or to the extent otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control”, the Compensation Committee shall take such action as it deems appropriate and equitable to effectuate the purposes of this Plan and to protect the grantees of awards, which action may include but be not limited to: (i) acceleration or change of the exercise and/or expiration dates of any award to require that exercise be made, if at all, prior to the change in control; and (ii) adjusting any or all of the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under this Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5 of this Plan).

Fair Market Value

Under the Plan, fair market value means (i) if the common shares (A) are listed on a national securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or (B) are not listed on a national securities exchange, but is quoted by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. or any successor or alternative recognized over-the-counter market or another inter-dealer quotation system, on a last sale basis, the average selling price of the Common Shares reported on such national securities exchange or other inter-dealer quotation system, determined as the arithmetic mean of such selling prices over the thirty (30) Business Day period preceding the Date of Grant, weighted based on the volume of trading of such Common Shares on each trading day during such period; (ii) if the common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system on a last sale basis, the amount determined by the Committee in good faith to be the fair market value of the Common Shares.

Transferability Restrictions

Generally and unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, shares or rights subject to an award cannot be assigned or transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and awards may be exercised during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, with or without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award agreement to preserve the purposes of this Plan, to: (A) any person who is an “immediate family member” of the Participant; (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (D) any other transferee as may be approved provided, that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of this Plan.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan

The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate this Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that (i) no amendment to the definition of Eligible Employee in Section 2, Section 5(i), Section 11(c) or Section 14(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in such Section 14(b)) shall be made without stockholder approval and (ii) no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to this Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares may be listed or quoted or to prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the Code); and, provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the prior written consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

PROPOSAL 4
AUTHORIZATION TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING

If the Annual Meeting is convened and a quorum is present, but there are not sufficient votes to approve Proposal 1, 2, and/or 3, one or more of our proxy holders may move to adjourn the Annual Meeting at that time in order to enable our Board to solicit additional proxies. In this proposal, we are asking our stockholders to authorize one or more of our proxy holders to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time and place, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes to approve Proposal 1, 2 and/or 3. If our stockholders approve this proposal, one or more of our proxy holders can adjourn the Annual Meeting and any adjourned session of the Annual Meeting to allow for additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted. Among other things, approval of this proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat Proposal 1, 2 and/or 3, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting without a vote on such proposals and seek to convince our stockholders to change their votes in favor of such proposals. If it is necessary to adjourn the Annual Meeting, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to our stockholders, other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting of the time and place to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, so long as the meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The approval of this Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy holding shares representing at least a majority of the votes so present or represented and entitled to be cast thereon.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of this Proposal.

AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS AND ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

These proxy solicitation materials are available at https://www.westcoaststocktransfer.com/dtss-proxy/on or about May 5, 2023 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K will be made available at https://www.westcoaststocktransfer.com/dtss-proxy/ concurrently with these proxy solicitation materials.

The Company is furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, rather than mailing printed copies of these materials to each stockholder. We believe that this process should expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs incurred by us for the Annual Meeting and help to conserve natural resources. On or about May 5, 2023, we will mail to each stockholder of record and beneficial owners (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, in the form of a mailing titled “Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials”, that contains instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials, including this proxy statement and the Company’s Annual Report, on a website referred to in such notice and how to access a proxy card to vote. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also contains instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials. If you receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail, you should not expect to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request one.

OTHER PROPOSED ACTION

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are the Company’s stockholders may be “householding” our proxy materials. A single copy of the proxy materials may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, please (1) notify your broker, or (2) direct your written request to 20th Floor, Tower B, Guorui Plaza, 1 Ronghua South Road, Technological Development Zone, Beijing, People’s Republic of China 100176, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy materials at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their brokers. In addition, upon written request to the address set forth above, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.
