(“REIT Mingde”), a limited liability company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, which was acquired by ReTo Technology Development Co., Ltd.

The issuance of the Shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Regulation S promulgated under of the Securities Act since the Shares were issued to non-U.S. persons (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S) in an offshore transaction, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the Company, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. The Shares are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the Shares contain an appropriate legend stating that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
In addition, as of February 22, 2022, the Company had issued an aggregate of approximately 2,453,611 common shares (the “Conversion Shares”) to an investor upon conversion of the principal and accrued interest in the amount of $2,561,785 under a convertible debenture, dated July 6, 2021. The Conversion Shares were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder because the investor is an accredited investor as defined under Regulation D and the issuance of Conversion Shares did not involve a public offering.
