Q&M has also entered into a settlement and termination deed with Wong and Wu on June 19 where all parties have agreed to a full and final settlement of any disputes, claims and counter claims between the parties. The disputes were in relation to the breach of a non-competition agreement (NCA) that was entered into by Aoxin Q & M Dental Group Limited (Aoxin), Wong, Wu and Wu Jian on Nov 26, 2012. The benefit of the NCA was subsequently assigned to Q&M on Feb 18, 2021 through a deed of assignment between Aoxin and itself.

Q&M’s acquisition at the time was to mitigate any potential conflicts between Aoxin and itself where Aoxin, as part of its initial public offering (IPO) process, had undertaken not to engage in the provision of dental services or the provision, distribution or sale of dental equipment and supplies, in southern China which includes Shanghai.
