Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements

As previously reported, on February 6, 2024, ABVC BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it entered into a definitive agreement with Shuling Jiang (“Jiang”), pursuant to which Jiang shall transfer the ownership of certain land she owns located at Taoyuan City, Taiwan (the “Land”) to the Company (the “Original Agreement”). Jiang is a director of the Company, is married to TS Jiang, the Company’s Chief Strategic Office and currently owns approximately 8.16% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value, $0.001 per share (the “Comon Stock”). Accordingly, the transaction contemplated by the Agreement constitutes a related party transaction as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

As later reported, on May 16, 2024, the Company’s board of directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to terminate the Agreement and not proceed with the transfer of land ownership at such time and that it may later reconsider the transaction.

As disclosed in the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy”) for the Company’s 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting (the “Meeting”) held on June 3, 2025 (the “Meeting Date”), the Company and Jiang were renegotiating the terms of the Shuling Transaction. The Proxy also stated that consideration for the Land would be consist of a combination of shares of our common stock (the “Jiang Shares”) and warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Warrants”), but since the number of Jiang Shares was uncertain and therefore possible that it would result in the issuance of an amount of shares of common stock equal to or in excess of 20% of our common stock outstanding at a price that is less than the Minimum Price (as hereinafter defined), we determined to obtain shareholder approval of the issuance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). The Company obtained the required shareholder approval at the Meeting. On July 15, 2025, the parties entered into definitive agreements for the Land (the “DefinitiveAgreement”), which includes a warrant agreement (the “Warrant”).

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company shall issue (i) 2,035,136 Jiang Shares, which is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Meeting Date and a land valuation of $3,857,975^1^ and (ii) a Warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share; following which, Jiang shall transfer ownership of the Land to the Company. Additionally, if the Company voluntary delists from the Nasdaq Capital Market and does not list its common stock on another national exchange or there is a change of control, Jiang maintains the right to have the title of the Land returned to her, subject to her return of all un-exercised Warrants and any Jiang Shares that she has not transferred or sold prior thereto. Shuling also remains eligible to receive additional shares of the Company’s common stock if the price of the Company’s common stock falls below $1.65 per share during any six-month period prior to the time the Jiang Shares may be sold without restriction and she does not prefer to have the title returned to her. Should she choose to receive additional shares, the number of shares issuable shall be based on the lowest closing price during such six-month period.

The Warrant has a term of 5 years and may be exercised via cashless exercise. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise (the “Maximum Percentage ”), except that if at any time the Holder Group (as defined in the Warrant) beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of equity interests in the Company that is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (excluding any interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of the Warrant), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of equity interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of equity interests) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

As part of the Definitive Agreement, the parties also entered into a consulting agreement, pursuant to which Jiang shall help with the development and maintenance of the Land (the “Consulting Agreement”). For such services, Jiang shall receive $1,000,000 to be paid in 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to a five-year vesting schedule at the rate of 200,000 shares per year. The Consulting Agreement has a 1-year term, unless terminated earlier by either party upon 30 days prior written notice.

^1^	The Definitive Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 contains a typo. The gross value<br>of the Property is actually estimated to be US$3,857,975.

After the issuance of the Jiang Shares, Jiang shall own approximately 16.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Assuming all the Warrants are exercised at the exercise price, she will own a total of approximately 20.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof. Assuming we issue all of the shares issuable pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, she will own a total of approximately 23.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof. The prior percentages ignore all beneficial ownership caps and vesting schedules, to show Jiang’s total potential ownership.

The Definitive Agreement also contains customary termination provisions, and other obligations and rights of the parties.

The foregoing description of the Definitive Agreement, Warrant and Consulting Agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information contained above under Item 1.01, to the extent applicable, is hereby incorporated by reference herein. The issuance of the Jiang Shares and warrants pursuant to the Agreement was made in reliance on the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation S under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws. None of the securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The sale of the securities did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or general advertising.

Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor any exhibit attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities described herein. Such disclosure does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sales of the Company’s securities in any state in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Exhibit 4.1

WARRANT AGREEMENT

This WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 15, 2025 (the “Issue Date”), by and between ABVC BioPharma, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Shuling Jiang (the “Holder”).

This Agreement is issued pursuant to that certain Definitive Land Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Holder dated July 15, 2025 (the “Land Agreement”).

Grant of Warrant:

The Company hereby grants to the Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to the cashless exercise provision detailed below.

Term of Warrant:

The Warrant shall be exercisable at any time beginning on the date of issuance and ending at 5:00 PM New York time on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Expiration Date”).

Cashless Exercise:

In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares of Common Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrendering this Warrant with written notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

[ X = Y × (A - B) / A ]

Where:

X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued
Y = the number of shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised
A = the Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise
B = the Exercise Price of $2.50

Market Value:

For purposes of this Agreement, “Market Value” shall mean the closing sale price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ (or the principal trading market for the Company’s Common Stock) on the last trading day before the exercise date.

Adjustment Provisions:

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise and/or the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment in accordance with standard anti-dilution protections, including stock splits, combinations, dividends, or reorganizations.

Governing Law:

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of law principles.

No Rights as Shareholder:

This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company until such time as the Warrant is exercised and shares are issued.

8. Limitations on Exercises.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock or other securities (together with Common Stock, “Equity Interests”) upon exercise of this Warrant to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the exercise of the Warrant prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the Exchange Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following exercise of this Warrant is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 8 apply, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Warrant Shares requested in the Exercise Notice is permitted hereunder, and neither the Company nor any Warrant agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 8, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the Exchange Act (excluding any Equity Interests deemed beneficially owned by virtue of this Warrant), then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 8 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer as of the date first written above.
