Explanatory Note:
This report on Form 6-K/A (this “Amended
Report”) is furnished to amend the reports (the “Original Reports”) on Form 6-K filed on November 20, 2020 and
November 24, 2020, respectively. This Amended Report amends the Original Reports to (1) add the description of the consideration
for warrants issued to the placement agent, and (2) provide a summary of an amendment to the placement agency agreement.
As disclosed in the Original Reports, on
November 20, 2020, Tantech Holdings Ltd, a British Virgin Islands corporation (the “Company”) entered into a placement
agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to, among other things, (i) reimburse the Placement Agent for all travel and other out-of-pocket
expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal fees, up to $50,000 (the “Expense Limitation”),
and (ii) issue the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 363,637 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $1.815
per share in consideration for $100.
On December 8, 2020, the Company entered
into an amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Placement Agency Agreement with the Placement Agent, pursuant to which
the Company agreed to increase the Expense Limitation from $50,000 to $75,000. No other change to the Original Reports is made
by this Amended Report.
The foregoing description of the Amendment
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this Amended
Report, and which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
