Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to amend and restate that section titled “Security Ownership of Directors, Officers, and Certain Beneficial Owners of Future FinTech Group Inc.” of the definitive proxy statement (the “Original Proxy”) of Future FinTech Group Inc. (the “Company”) for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting (the “Annual Meeting”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 15, 2018 (the “Original Date”). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to correct a typographical error in the Original Proxy that showed Mr. Zhi Yan, a member of the Company’s board of directors, beneficially owning no shares of the Company’s common stock. Mr. Zhi Yan is the beneficial owner of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Proxy. With the exception of the foregoing or as otherwise noted in this Amendment No. 1, the Original Proxy continues to speak as of the Original Date, and we have not updated the disclosures contained herein to reflect any other events that have occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Proxy. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Date.
