The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Distoken Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Issuer”) whose principal executive offices are located at Unit 1006, Block C, Jinshangjun Park, No. 2 Xiaoba Road, Panlong District, Kunming, Yunnan, China. 

The Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

(i) Xiaosen Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”); and

(ii) Jian Zhang, the manager of the Sponsor.

All disclosures herein with respect to any Reporting Person are made only by the Reporting Person. Any disclosures herein with respect to persons other than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making inquiry to the appropriate party.

The Sponsor is a Cayman Islands limited liability company, and Jian Zhang is a citizen of China. The address of the principal business office of each of the Reporting Persons is Unit 1006, Block C, Jinshangjun Park, No. 2 Xiaoba Road, Panlong District, Kunming, Yunnan, China.

The Sponsor’s principal business is to act as the Issuer’s sponsor in connection with the IPO (as defined below) and potential business combination (the “Business Combination”). Mr. Zhang is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

The aggregate purchase price for the Placement Units (as defined below) was $5,450,000. The aggregate purchase price for the Founder Shares (as defined below) was $25,000. In each case, the source of these funds was the working capital of Sponsor.

Founder Shares    

In July 2020, Sponsor purchased 1,150,000 founder shares for a purchase price of $25,000. In August 2021, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 0.25 shares for each founder share outstanding, resulting in Sponsor holding 1,437,500 founder shares. In January 2023, the Issuer effected a share dividend of 0.2 shares for each ordinary share outstanding, resulting in Sponsor holding 1,725,000 founder shares (the “Founder Shares”).

Placement Units

On February 17, 2023, as part of a sponsor unit subscription agreement dated February 15, 2023 (the “Unit Subscription Agreement”), the Sponsor purchased 545,000 placement units (the “Placement Units”) from the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $5,450,000. Each Placement Unit consists of one Ordinary Share (the “Placement Share”), one warrant (each, a “Placement Warrant”) and one right. Each Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share. Each right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Issuer’s Business Combination. The Placement Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination, and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of our completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption.

The foregoing description of the Unit Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Letter Agreement

Sponsor and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which Sponsor has agreed to (i) waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and any Ordinary Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in connection with the completion of the Issuer’s Business Combination, (ii) waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and Ordinary Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to offer redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination or certain amendments to the Issuer’s charter prior thereto or to redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares if the Issuer does not complete the Business Combination within 9 months from the closing of its IPO or (B) with respect to any other business combination activity, (iii) waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Founder Shares and Placement Shares if the Issuer fails to complete the Business Combination within 9 months from the closing of the IPO, although Sponsor will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any Ordinary Shares it holds if the Issuer fails to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed time frame and (iv) not sell any of its Founder Shares, Placement Shares, or Ordinary Shares to the Issuer in any tender offer undertaken by the Issuer in connection with the Business Combination.

Voting Agreement

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed to vote any Founder Shares, Placement Shares, and any Ordinary Shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination. If the Issuer submits the Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, the Issuer will complete the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

Lock-up Agreement

Further pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Sponsor agreed that the Founder Shares, Placement Units, and securities contained therein are not transferable or salable (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, if the last sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (y) the date following the completion of the Business Combination on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) in the case of the Placement Units, including the component securities therein, until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, with certain limited exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Sponsor, pursuant to which Sponsor is entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Issuer register Founder Shares, Placement Units, any securities underlying the Placement Units, , and any warrants or units that may be issued upon conversion of the working capital loans. In addition, Sponsor has certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Business Combination and rights to require the Issuer to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
