You are cordially invited to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Wetouch Technology Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “WETH”), which will be held at the Company’s corporate headquarters, located at No. 29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan Sichuan, China on December 26, 2025 at 10:00 A.M., local time.
We are following Securities and Exchange Commission rules which enable us to provide proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting on the Internet instead of automatically mailing printed copies. This allows us to provide our Stockholders with the information they need, while lowering the cost of the delivery of materials and reducing the environmental impact from printing, mailing and disposing of paper copies. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) is first being mailed, and the proxy statement, 2024 annual report, and form of proxy are being distributed to stockholders of record as of the October 22, 2025 (the “Record Date”) and made available on the Internet, on or about November 11, 2025. Stockholders whose shares are held in a brokerage account will receive this information from their broker.
The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement describes the formal business to be transacted at the annual meeting. Our directors and officers will be present to respond to appropriate questions from Stockholders. A Stockholder must complete the attached proxy card or be present in person to vote at the meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please vote as soon as possible. You can vote by returning the proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. This will ensure that your shares will be represented and voted at the meeting, even if you do not attend. If you attend the meeting, you may revoke your proxy and personally cast your vote. Attendance at the meeting does not of itself revoke your proxy.

PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF WETOUCH TECHNOLOGY INC.
To be Held on December 26, 2025
The Board of Directors of Wetouch Technology Inc., a Nevada corporation (“WETH” or the “Company”), is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at our office, located at No. 29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan Sichuan, China, on December 26, 2025, at 10:00 A.M., local time, and at any adjournments thereof. You are receiving a proxy statement because you own shares of the Company’s common stock on the Record Date that entitle you to vote at the Annual Meeting. By use of a proxy, you can vote whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. The proxy statement describes the matters we would like you to vote on and provides information on those matters so you can make an informed decision.
THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING
Date, Time and Place of the Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on December 26, 2025, at the Company’s office at No. 29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan Sichuan, China.
Matters to be Voted Upon at the Annual Meeting
At the Annual Meeting, WETH is asking its Stockholders as of the record date of October 22, 2025 (the “Record Date”) to consider and vote upon proposals:
| (1) | To elect five directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified; |
| (2) | To ratify ST & Partners PLT, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; |
| (3) | To approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in the form set forth in Annex A to increase the number of shares of the Company’s authorized common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”), that may be issued from 15,000,000 to 65,000,000; |
| (4) | To approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in a non-binding, advisory vote; and |
| (5) | To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. |
Who Can Vote?
Stockholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Annual Meeting if they owned shares of WETH common stock on the Record Date. Stockholders will have one vote for each share of WETH common stock owned at the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. At the close of business on October 22, 2025, we had 11,931,534 shares of common stock outstanding.
What Constitutes a Quorum for the Annual Meeting?
A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to hold a meeting. A majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be represented in person or by proxy at the meeting to establish a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes, however, are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to the matter on which the broker has not voted. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares.
1
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of record of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share on each matter to be considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting.
Votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated at the Annual Meeting. All valid, unrevoked proxies will be voted as directed. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, properly executed proxies will be voted (i) for the election of each of the nominees for director set forth herein, (ii) for the ratification of ST & Partners PLT, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, (iii) for the adoption of the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation , and (iv) To approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in a non-binding, advisory vote.
If any matters other than those addressed on the proxy card are properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters in their best judgment, unless authorization is withheld.
How Do I Vote?
Many of our Stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, you are considered the Stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a Stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. As the Stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy using the accompanying proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.
By Mail — Stockholders will receive a proxy card and can follow the instructions given for mailing. A paper copy of the proxy materials may also be obtained by following the instructions given on the notice and proxy card. To vote using the proxy card, simply print the proxy card, complete, sign and date it and return it promptly to Proxy Team, Transhare Corporation, 17755 US Highway 19 N, Suite 140, Clearwater, FL 33764.
Online — Stockholders may submit a proxy online using the website listed on the proxy card. Please have your proxy card in hand when you log onto the website. Online voting facilities will close and no longer be available on the date and time specified on the proxy card.
In Person — Stockholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, given that it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting.
Please note that the notice letter you received directing you to the website at which the proxy materials are available is not the proxy card and should not be used to submit your vote.
If you do not return a signed proxy card, vote online or attend the meeting and vote in person, your shares will not be voted. Shares of our common stock represented by properly executed proxies that are received by us and are not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and instructions are not given, such proxies will be voted FOR the election of each nominee for director named herein, FOR ratification of the selection of ST & Partners PLT, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, FOR the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and FOR the approval of the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in a non-binding, advisory vote. In addition, we reserve the right to exercise discretionary authority to vote proxies, in the manner determined by us, in our sole discretion, on any matters brought before the Annual Meeting for which we did not receive adequate notice under the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Beneficial Holder. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the Stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote and are also invited to attend the meeting. However, since you are not the Stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote those shares at the meeting.

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?
Proposal 1: Election of Directors
The nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular slot is elected for that slot. Votes withheld from one or more director nominees will have no effect on the election of any director from whom votes are withheld. The approval of each of the other proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on that proposal. You may vote either “FOR” all or any one or more of the nominees, “AGAINST” all or any one or more of the nominees, or “ABSTAIN” your vote from all or any one or more of the nominees. Abstentions with respect to this proposal are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will not have any effect on the outcome of the election of any director nominee.
Proposal 2: Ratification of the Appointment of ST & Partners PLT as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to this proposal is required to ratify the appointment of ST & Partners PLT as our independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Abstentions with respect to this proposal are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will not have any effect on the outcome of this proposal. We are not required to obtain our stockholders’ ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, but we believe that submitting this matter to our stockholders is a part of good corporate governance.
Proposal 3: Charter Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
If a quorum is present, approval of the Charter Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. Because approval of the Charter Amendment requires the approval of a majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding shares of common stock, abstentions will have the practical effect of a vote against the Charter Amendment.
Proposal 4: Say on Pay
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the proposal is required to approve the non-binding advisory resolution on Say on Pay. Abstentions with respect to this proposal are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will not have an impact on the outcome of this proposal. Because the required vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee or the Company. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee will, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions.
Will My Shares Be Voted If I Do Not Return My Proxy Card? What is the Effect of a “Broker Non-Vote”?
If you are a beneficial owner and do not provide the Stockholder of record with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
Under applicable regulations, if a broker holds shares on your behalf, and you do not instruct your broker how to vote those shares on a matter considered “routine,” the broker may generally vote your shares for you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from you on a “non-routine” matter, in which case the broker does not have authority to vote your shares with respect to such matter. Unless you provide voting instructions to a broker holding shares on your behalf, your broker may not use discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.
Unless otherwise required by the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws, the Nevada Law, or by other applicable law, any other proposal that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting will require approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast at the Annual Meeting. With respect to any such proposal, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for purposes of determining whether the proposal has received sufficient votes for approval.
Directors and executive officers of the Company beneficially hold approximately 30,466 shares of Company Common Stock of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting.
3
Deadline for Voting by Proxy
In order to be counted, votes cast by proxy must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.
Revocability of Proxies
Stockholders are requested to date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card to make certain their shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Any proxy given may be revoked by the Stockholder at any time before it is voted by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by filing with the Secretary of the Company a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified thereon.
Householding of Annual Disclosure Documents
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more Stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially results in extra convenience for Stockholders and cost savings for companies. The Company has adopted the SEC-approved “householding” procedure.
Upon written or oral request, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy statement and proxy materials of Annual Meeting of Stockholders to any Stockholder at a shared address to which the Company delivered a single copy of any of these documents. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials, you may:
| ● | Send a written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary No. 29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan Sichuan, China, or call (86) 28-37390666 if you are a Stockholder of record; or |
| ● | Notify your broker, if you hold your shares of common stock under street name. |
If you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in householding, please contact the Company using the mailing address and phone number above. Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
The Company is making this solicitation and will pay the cost of soliciting your proxy. In addition to the use of mail, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors, officers or employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners and for soliciting your proxy.
Is my vote confidential?
Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within our Company or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.
Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will also disclose voting results on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Annual Meeting, then we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and will provide the final results in an amendment to such Current Report on Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Directors
Based on the Company’s nominations process, a majority of the independent members of the Board shall recommend to the Board for nomination by the Board such candidates as said majority of the independent directors, in the exercise of their judgment, have found to be well qualified and willing and available to serve. A majority of our independent directors of the Board has recommended and the Board has nominated the persons listed below for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, to hold office until the next Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. It is not contemplated that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director, but, if that should occur, the persons designated as proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment. In no event will proxies be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.
All shares represented by valid proxies, and not revoked before they are exercised, will be voted in the manner specified therein. If a valid proxy is submitted but no vote is specified, the Proxy will be voted FOR the election of each of the four Nominees for election as directors. Please note that your broker will not be permitted to vote on your behalf on the election of directors unless you provide specific instructions by completing and returning the voting instruction form. For your vote to be counted, you will need to communicate your voting decisions to your broker or other nominee before the date of the Annual Meeting or obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares at the meeting. Although all nominees are expected to serve if elected, if any nominee is unable to serve, then the persons designated as proxies will vote for the remaining nominees and for such replacements, if any, as may be nominated by our Board, who currently serves the functions of a nominating committee as the Board does not have a standing nominating committee. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees specified herein (five persons). Cumulative voting is not permitted.
The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of the directors listed below.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Board of Directors
Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and the Nevada Law, the Company’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. Directors are kept informed on the Company’s business through discussions with management, including the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings. As of October 23, 2025, the corporate structure of the Company has undergone certain changes, which have been previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2025, September 9, 2025 and September 18, 2025 with SEC.
Our Board meets on a regular basis during the year to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings when an important matter requires Board action between scheduled meetings. Members of senior management regularly attend Board meetings to report on and discuss their respective areas of responsibility. The Board held 4 regularly scheduled and special meetings during fiscal year 2024. All of the directors attended (in person or by telephone) all of the Board meetings and any committees of the Board on which they served during the fiscal year. Directors are expected to use their best efforts to be present at the Stockholders annual meeting.
Independent Directors
The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. NASDAQ requires that a majority of the Company’s directors be “independent,” as defined by the NASDAQ’s rules. Generally, a director does not qualify as an independent director if the director (or, in some cases, a member of the director’s immediate family) has, or in the past three years had, certain relationships or affiliations with the Company, its external or internal auditors, or other companies that do business with the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that a majority of the Company’s directors are independent directors under the NASDAQ rules. The Company’s current independent directors are: Jing Chen and Jiaxing Huang. Guijun Gan, an independent director resigned from the Board on September 16, 2025. The Company intends to appoint Ms. Yunna Liu as a new independent member to the Board effective as of date November 1, 2025.
Our Board of Directors, which is elected by our Stockholders, is our ultimate decision-making body, except with respect to those matters reserved to our Stockholders. The Board selects the officers who are charged with the conduct of our business and has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for our overall performance. The Board is not involved in operating details on a day-to-day basis. The Board is advised of our business through regular reports and analyses and discussions with our principal executive officer and other officers.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and issuing reports thereon. The audit committee’s responsibility is to monitor these processes. The audit committee meets with management, the leader of the internal audit function, and the independent accounting firm to facilitate communication. In addition, the audit committee appoints the Company’s independent accounting firm and pre-approves all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent accounting firm.
In this context, the audit committee has discussed with the Company’s independent accounting firm the overall scope and plans for the independent audit. The audit committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management represented to the audit committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Discussions about the Company’s audited financial statements included the independent accounting firm’s judgments about the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee also discussed with the independent accounting firm the other matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees). The Company’s independent accounting firm provided to the audit committee the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB, and the committee discussed the independent accounting firm’s independence with management and the independent accounting firm.
Based on: (i) the audit committee’s discussion with management and the independent accounting firm; (ii) the audit committee’s review of the representations of management; and (iii) the report of the independent accounting firm to the audit committee, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on September 11, 2025, is incorporated by reference herein (“Annual Report”).
Compensation Committee
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our compensation committee consists of Jing Chen, Jiaxing Huang and Guijun Gan. Mr. Huang is the chairperson of our compensation committee. We have determined that Ms. Chen, Mr. Huang and Mr. Gan each are “independent,” as such term is defined for directors and compensation committee members in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. Additionally, each qualifies as “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The compensation committee held 1 meeting during fiscal year 2024, and all compensation committee members attended those meetings. As of October 23, 2025, the corporate structure of the Company has undergone certain changes, which have been previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2025, September 9, 2025 and September 18, 2025. On September 16, 2025, Mr. Guijun Gan resigned from being a member of Audit Committee. The Company intends to appoint Ms. Yunna Liu as the new independent member to the Compensation Committee effective as of November 1, 2025.
Our Board has delegated to the compensation committee the responsibility, among other things, to determine any and all compensation payable to our executive officers, including annual salaries, incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and any other compensation, and to administer our equity and incentive compensation plans applicable to our executive officers. Decisions regarding executive compensation made by the compensation committee are considered final and are not generally subject to Board review or ratification. Under the terms of its written charter, the compensation committee has the power and authority to delegate any of its duties and responsibilities to subcommittees as the compensation committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. Historically, the compensation committee has not generally delegated any of its duties and responsibilities to subcommittees, but rather has taken such actions as a committee, as a whole. Deliberations and decisions by the compensation committee concerning executive officers are made by the compensation committee, without the presence of the any executive officer of the Company.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Jing Chen, Jiaxing Huang and Guijun Gan. Mr. Gan is the chairperson of our nominating and corporate governance committee. We have determined that each of Ms. Chen, Mr. Huang and Mr. Gan qualifies as “independent” as that term is defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held 3 meetings during fiscal year 2024, and all compensation committee members attended those meetings. As of October 23, 2025, the corporate structure of the Company has undergone certain changes, which have been previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2025, September 9, 2025 and September 18, 2025. On September 16, 2025, Mr. Guijun Gan resigned from being a member of Audit Committee. The Company intends to appoint Ms. Yunna Liu as the new independent member to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective as of November 1, 2025.
We have adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter, which details the principal responsibilities of the nominating and corporate governance committee, including:
| ● | The identification, evaluation and recommendation of qualified candidates to become Board members. | |
| ● | The oversight of the implementation of and monitoring compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics (other than with respect to complaints regarding accounting or auditing issues). | |
| ● | Coordinating and overseeing Board, committee, and director evaluations. | |
| ● | Periodic review of the Company’s governance documents as appropriate. |
The charter also provides that the nominating and corporate governance committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of, and terminate, any search firm to be used to identify director candidates, and will be directly responsible for approving the search firm’s fees and other retention terms.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of four members, including two independent directors who serve as members of our audit committee and compensation committee. The company intends to appoint Ms. Yunna Liu as the new independent member to the Board effective date as of November 1, 2025. Our Board leadership structure consists of a Chairman of the Board. Currently, Mr. Guangrong Cai serves as Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors believes that this leadership structure, with Mr. Guangrong Cai serving as the Chairman and Mr. Zongyi Lian serving as Chief Executive Officer, is appropriate at this time because it enables the Board, as a whole, to engage in oversight of management, promote communication and collaboration between management and the Board, and oversee governance matters, while allowing our Chief Executive Officer to focus on his primary responsibility, the operational leadership and strategic direction of the Company.
Board independence and oversight of the senior management of the Company are enabled by the presence of independent directors who have a wide range of expertise and skills and have oversight over critical functions of the Company, such as the review of business development, evaluation and compensation of executive management, the nomination of directors. Our independent directors collectively provide additional strength and balance to our Board leadership structure.
Risk Management
The Chief Executive Officer and senior management are primarily responsible for identifying and managing the risks facing the Company under the oversight and supervision of the Board. The Chief Executive Officer reports to the Board of Directors regarding any risks identified and steps it is taking to manage those risks. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the areas of financial reporting and internal controls. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the area of compensation policies and practices. Other general business risks such as economic, regulatory and permitting are monitored by the full Board.

Family Relationships
There are no other family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers, except that former director Ms. Jiaying Cai is the niece of Mr. Guangrong Cai. There are no arrangements or understandings between our directors and any other person pursuant to which they were appointed as an officer or director of the Company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports and representations from the Reporting Persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Reporting Persons timely filed all such reports, except that Ms. Xing Tang, our CFO, Mr. Guangrong Cai, our Chairman, and Mr. Jiaxing Huang and Mr. Guijun Gan, our directors, failed to timely file Forms 3 as officers and directors of the Company.

Clawback Policy
Our board of directors adopted a clawback policy covering our executive officers. An executive officer is our chief executive officer, president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president in charge of a significant principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for us. As of the date of this Annual Report, our only executive officers are our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. The clawback policy relates to incentive-based compensation, which is any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure. The clawback policy covers the recovery of incentive-based compensation from an executive officer only in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of our financial reporting requirements under the United States securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Questions as to “materiality” will be determined by the Compensation Committee in coordination with the Audit Committee.
14
The incentive-based compensation subject to recovery is the incentive-based compensation received during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement as described above, provided that the person served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period applicable to the incentive-based compensation in question provided that the clawback policy shall only apply if the incentive-based compensation is received while we have a class of securities listed on Nasdaq and on or after October 2, 2023. None of our officers’ employment agreements provide incentive-based compensation during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2024
No outstanding equity awards held by named executive officers as of December 31, 2024.

ST & Partners PLT is considered by the Audit Committee to be well qualified and has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since June 27, 2025. The Stockholders are being asked to ratify this appointment so that the Audit Committee will know the opinion of the Stockholders. However, the Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm.
At the time of mailing this Proxy Statement, the Company does not anticipate that any representative of ST & Partners PLT will be present, either by phone or in person, at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Should a representative of ST & Partners PLT be available and desire to make a statement either in person or by telephone at our 2025 Annual Meeting, they will have the opportunity to do so and will respond to appropriate questions.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is necessary for ratification of the selection of ST & Partners PLT as our independent registered public accounting firm.
Recommendation of Board of Directors
The approval of ST & Partners PLT, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting, provided that a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
The Board of Directors has unanimously determined that this Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of ST & Partners PLT. |

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Accountant
The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent accountants are permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. The audit committee’s policy utilizes an annual review and general pre-approval of certain categories of specified services that may be provided by the independent accountant, up to pre- determined fee levels. Any proposed services not qualifying as a pre-approved specified service, and pre-approved services exceeding the pre-determined fee levels, require further specific pre-approval by the audit committee. The audit committee has delegated to the Chairman of the audit committee the authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent accountants and the Chairman of the audit committee must report any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. All the services provided by our auditors in fiscal years 2024 were pre-approved by the audit committee.

PROPOSAL 3 – CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Background of the Proposal
We are asking our stockholders to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”) to increase our authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 15,000,000 shares to 65,000,000 shares (the “Share Increase”).
On October 23, 2025, the Board adopted resolutions unanimously approving, subject to stockholder approval, the proposed amendment to our Charter in the form of Annex A hereto (the “Charter Amendment”). At that time, the Board determined the proposed Charter Amendment to be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and is accordingly submitting the proposed Charter Amendment for approval by our stockholders. The additional 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be part of the existing class of Common Stock, and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding.
Purpose
Our Board believes that the authorized number of shares of Common Stock should be increased as a matter of good corporate governance to provide sufficient shares for such corporate purposes as may reasonably be determined by the Board to be necessary and in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. These purposes may include, but are not limited to:
| ● | our equity incentive plans; |
| ● | raising capital through the future sale of our Common Stock or other securities convertible or exercisable for shares of our Common Stock when necessary or appropriate; |
| ● | expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses, products, or assets; |
| ● | establishing partnerships, collaborations, and/or other strategic relationships with other companies; and |
| ● | other corporate purposes that have not yet been identified. |
Our Board believes that these additional shares would provide us with needed flexibility to issue shares in the future without potential expense or delay incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance, unless applicable law, rule or regulation requires stockholder approval for such issuance. Other than in connection with shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible notes or issuable to satisfy monthly installment payments, including interest, due on the Notes, we currently do not have any specific plans, arrangements, undertakings or agreements for the proposed increase of authorized shares in connection with any of the foregoing prospective activities. Once authorized, the additional shares of Common Stock may be issued with approval of our Board but without further approval from our stockholders, unless applicable law, rule or regulation requires stockholder approval for such issuance. Stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment and resulting Share Increase is required under Nevada law.
Proposed Changes to the Charter
The proposed Share Increase will increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 15,000,000 shares to 65,000,000 shares. The Company is currently authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”). The Share Increase will not change any substantive terms of the Common Stock or any powers or rights of their respective holders. The Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WETH”.
If Proposal 4 is approved, we intend to amend our Charter in connection with implementing the proposal. A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. Stockholders are encouraged to read the Charter Amendment in its entirety.
21
Potential Effects of the Proposed Charter Amendment
The additional shares of Common Stock would have rights identical to our Common Stock currently outstanding. Approval of the Charter Amendment and any issuance of Common Stock would not affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock currently outstanding, except to the extent that future issuances of Common Stock would reduce each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership. If the proposed Share Increase is approved and the Board decides to issue such shares of Common Stock, such issuance of Common Stock may, among other things, have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on stockholders’ equity and voting rights. Furthermore, future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that these sales might occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock or limit our ability to raise additional capital.
Our Board has not proposed the Share Increase with the intention of discouraging tender offers or takeover attempts. However, the availability of additional authorized shares for issuance may have the effect of discouraging a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other attempt to obtain control.
As of the Record Date, 11,931,534 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding, 732,390 shares of our Common Stock were subject to outstanding stock options, warrants, restricted stock awards, or other convertible securities, thereby leaving 2,336,076 shares of Common Stock unassigned and authorized for potential issuance of the current 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized. If approved, the Share Increase will not change the number of shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance.
Recommendation of Board of Directors
If a quorum is present, approval of the Charter Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. Because approval of the Charter Amendment requires the approval of a majority of the voting power of all of our outstanding shares of common stock, abstentions will have the practical effect of a vote against the Charter Amendment.
The Board of Directors has unanimously determined that this Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment |

PROPOSAL NO. 4 – ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires that we provide our stockholders a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is sometimes referred to as a “say- on-pay vote.” Although this advisory vote is non-binding, the Compensation Committee of our Board will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our named executive officer compensation and related executive compensation programs.
As discussed in this Proxy Statement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on September 11, 2025 (“Annual Report”), our executive compensation program is comprised principally of salary, equity and performance-based cash compensation, designed to: (i) attract, motivate and retain key executives who are critical to our success, (ii) align the interests of our executives with stockholder value and our financial performance and (iii) achieve a balanced package that would attract and retain highly qualified senior officers and appropriately reflect each such officer’s individual performance and contributions. In addition, the Company regularly reviews its compensation program and the overall compensation package paid to each of its senior executives to assess risk and to confirm that the structure is still aligned with the Company’s long-term strategic goals.
Before you vote on the resolution below, please read the entire “Compensation” section, including the tables, together with the related narrative disclosure and footnotes, beginning on page 13 of this Proxy Statement as well as the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Note, as a “smaller reporting company,” we are obligated to provide compensation disclosures pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Regulation S-K”).
For the reasons provided, the Board is asking stockholders to cast a non-binding, advisory vote FOR the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that stockholders approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K (which includes the compensation tables and related narrative discussion).”
Though this proposal calls for a non-binding advisory vote, our Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
Recommendation of Board of Directors
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the proposal is required to approve the non-binding advisory resolution on Say on Pay. Abstentions with respect to this proposal are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will not have an impact on the outcome of this proposal. Because the required vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee or the Company. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee will, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future compensation decisions.
The Board of Directors has unanimously determined that this Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
|
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in a non-binding, advisory vote. |
