EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 20-F/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed by AGM Group Holdings Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) to amend the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, originally filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 13, 2025 (the “Original Filing”).
The Company is filing this Amendment to amend Item 16G. Item 16G is hereby amended to clarify that we have elected to follow our home country exemption in the BVI in lieu of certain Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. Otherwise, this Amendment speaks as of the date of the Original Filing, and does not modify, amend or update any other item or disclosures in the Original Filing. As such, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are providing currently dated revised certifications as Exhibits 12.1, 12.2, and 13.1 in connection with this Amendment. The filing of this Amendment should not be understood to mean that any statements contained in the Original Filing, as amended by this Amendment, are true or complete as of any date subsequent to the filing date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.

Item 16G. Corporate Governance
As a company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the British Virgin Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards and may result in less protection than is accorded to investors under rules applicable to domestic U.S. issuers.
We rely on home country practice exemption with respect to (i) the requirement for holding annual shareholders meetings under Nasdaq Rule 5620(a), (ii) the requirement to obtain shareholders’ approval of all equity compensation plans and material amendment thereto under Nasdaq Rule 5635(c), and (iii) the requirement to obtain shareholders’ approval for certain transactions other than public offering under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). We did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024; did not obtain shareholders’ approval for the adoption of the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan; and did not obtain shareholders’ approval for the Registered Direct Offering that was closed on March 4, 2025. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A) permits foreign private issuers to follow their home country practice regarding shareholder approval requirements. The BVI does not require shareholder approval prior to any of the foregoing types of circumstances. As the corporate governance practices in the BVI do not require shareholder approval for any of the foregoing types of transactions, we are not obligated to obtain such approval before entering into transactions involving the potential issuance of securities as described above. To the extent we choose to follow home country practice in lieu of other Nasdaq listing rules in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Capital Structure and Class A Ordinary Shares- We are a “foreign private issuer,” and our disclosure obligations differ from those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we may not provide you the same information as U.S. domestic reporting companies or we may provide information at different times, which may make it more difficult for you to evaluate our performance.”
