Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On July 8, 2026, Future FinTech Group Inc. (the “Company”) filed Articles of Amendment to its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida to effect a one-for-four (1-for-4) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Articles of Amendment shall become effective at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 10, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). The Reverse Stock Split was previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors by unanimous written consent and without shareholder approval, as permitted under Section 607.10025 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”).
At the Effective Time, every four (4) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically combined and reclassified into one (1) share of Common Stock, without any change to the par value of $0.001 per share. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split; in lieu thereof, each holder of record who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock will be entitled to receive one (1) whole share of Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Shares held in street name through a bank, broker, or other nominee will be treated in accordance with the procedures of such bank, broker, or nominee, which may differ from the treatment of holders of record; beneficial holders should contact their bank, broker, or nominee with any questions. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and will not alter any holder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for de minimis changes resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.
In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and pursuant to Section 607.10025(7) of the FBCA, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be reduced proportionally from 150,000,000 shares to 37,500,000 shares. The number of authorized shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, will remain unchanged at 10,000,000 shares.
Proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or vesting of the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants, and other equity-based awards, and to the applicable exercise or conversion prices thereof, in accordance with their respective terms.
The Common Stock will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a reverse split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading on July 13, 2026, under the existing trading symbol “FTFT” and under a new CUSIP number, 36117V501.
The foregoing description of the Articles of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

OF FUTURE FINTECH GROUP INC.
Pursuant to Sections 607.1006, 607.10025, and 607.10025(7) of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), Future FinTech Group Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby adopts these Articles of Amendment (these “Articles of Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date (the “Articles of Incorporation”), as follows:
1. Section 1.01 of Article III Capital Stock of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows, effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in paragraph 3 below):
ARTICLE III
Capital Stock (as amended)
Section 1.01. Authorized Stock. The total number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 37,500,000. The total number of shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 10,000,000.
The reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) to thirty-seven million five hundred thousand (37,500,000) is made pursuant to Section 607.10025(7) of the FBCA in connection with the reverse stock split effected pursuant to Section 1.02 of Article III set forth in paragraph 2 below. Such reduction represents a proportional reduction of 75%, which is the same percentage as the reduction in issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from such reverse stock split. All other provisions of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation not expressly amended hereby shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
2. Section 1.02 of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation is hereby further amended and restated in its entirety as follows, effective as of the Effective Time:
ARTICLE III
Capital Stock (as further amended)
Section 1.02. Reverse Stock Split. Effective as of the date and time at which these Articles of Amendment are filed with and accepted by the Florida Division of Corporations (the “Effective Time”), each four (4) shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Pre-Split Shares”) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be combined and reclassified into one (1) validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (each, a “Post-Split Share”). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in connection with this reverse stock split; in lieu thereof, each registered holder of Pre-Split Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Post-Split Share shall receive one (1) whole share of Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The transfer agent of the Corporation is hereby authorized to effect such rounding on behalf of the Corporation.
3. These Articles of Amendment shall become effective upon filing with and acceptance by the Florida Division of Corporations (the “Effective Time”). The market effective date of the reverse stock split for trading purposes on The Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to be as soon as possible following confirmation by Nasdaq Listing Qualifications in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(e)(7).
4. These Articles of Amendment were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation by unanimous written consent effective as of June 17, 2026, pursuant to Section 607.0821 of the FBCA. These Articles of Amendment were adopted without shareholder action, and shareholder action was not required, pursuant to Sections 607.10025 and 607.10025(7) of the FBCA, which expressly authorize the Board of Directors, without approval of the shareholders, to (i) adopt articles of amendment to change each issued and outstanding share of any class of shares into a lesser number of shares of the same class, provided that such action applies equally to all shares of the same class, and (ii) in connection therewith, reduce the number of authorized shares of such class by the same percentage as the issued and outstanding shares are reduced.

The Company was not required to obtain shareholder approval to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. The Company filed articles of amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations which is expected to become effective as of 4 P.M.

Upon implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, every four shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock without any change to the par value of $0.001 per share and the amount of Common Stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 7,472,707 shares to approximately 1,868,177 shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each holder of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive one whole share of Common Stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include, among others, statements regarding the timing and effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split and the anticipated market-effective and first-trading dates; the anticipated post-split trading price of the Common Stock and the ability of the Reverse Stock Split to result in a sustained increase in the price of the Common Stock to a level at or above $1.00 per share; the expected number of shares of Common Stock outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split and the effect of the treatment of fractional shares; the proportional adjustment of the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants, and other equity awards; and the Company’s ability to regain and maintain compliance with all applicable continued listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market.
