Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 27, 2023, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited
(“Buyer”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong and a wholly owned subsidiary of Future FinTech Group Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alpha Financial Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong
(“Seller”) and sole owner and shareholder of Alpha International Securities (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated
in Hong Kong ("Alpha HK") and Alpha Information Service (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in China (“Alpha
SZ”).
Pursuant
to Agreement, the Buyer agreed to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Alpha HK and Alpha SZ (the “Alpha Shares”)
from the Seller in cash for a total of HK$15,659,949 (approximately $2,007,686). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the parties agreed:
(i) the purchase price of all issued and outstanding shares of Alpha HK (the “HK Shares”) shall be HK$ 14,010,421 (approximately
$1,796,208 and the “HK Purchase Price”); (ii) the purchase price of all issued and outstanding shares of Alpha SZ (the “SZ
Shares”) shall be HK$1,649,528 (approximately $211,478, the “SZ Purchase Price”, together with HK Purchase Price as
the “Total Purchase Price”); (iii) 50% of the Total Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller within 5 working days after
the formal signing of the Agreement; (iv) the remaining 50% shall be paid within 5 working days after Buyer receives the approval notice
from Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (“HKSFC”) for the transfer of HK Shares prior to December 31, 2023 (or such
later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing); (v) if the HKSFC fails to give such approval within 365 days of this Agreement,
Seller shall refund the amount paid by the Buyer under this Agreement within 3 working days after the earlier of receiving the notice
of failure or the expiration of 365 days unless Buyer and Seller mutually have agreed to extend such deadline; and (vi) if
the failure to obtain the approval from HKSFC is attributable to a material breach of the Agreement by the Buyer or fraud or willful malfeasance
on the part of the Buyer, the amount of the Total Purchase Price theretofore paid will not be refunded.
Ms. Ying Li, a director of the Board of Directors
and vice president of the Company is a minority shareholder of the parent company of Alpha International Financial Holdings Limited (“Alpha
