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 benefit of the NCA was subsequently assigned to Q&M on Feb 18, 2021 through a deed of assignment between Aoxin and itself.
