Notice of 2021 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

To our Stockholders:

Thank you for your support as a stockholder of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. We started fiscal year 2021 with a dark cloud over our head when the global pandemic just hit, but we are happy to report that we finished the year with a strong fourth quarter with sales 65% higher than that of the prior year fourth quarter. Sales for the full fiscal year 2021 was $90 million, slightly down from $93 million for fiscal year 2020. We maintained profitability throughout the year despite the pandemic and achieved a net income of $0.37 per share. We ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of $22.9 million. We also continued to declare dividends, paying out $0.20 per share in dividends to our stockholders over the year.

Our fiscal 2021 performance was somewhat impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the first half of the year when Jordan had a national shutdown from the end of March to the beginning of June of 2020. In the second half, we jumped back into a growth mode with customers reinstating orders and all our factories fully booked through January 2022. With surging demand from potential new customers and increased orders from existing customers, we have been aggressively seeking to expand our production capacity.

In April 2021, we began construction of a much-needed dormitory building to house our over 3,000 migrant workers. Not only would we save rent expenses while providing a safe and high-quality living environment for our workers, but this accommodation facility also offers a means to retain and attract skillful garment workers from overseas. We are finalizing the architectural and engineering designs for constructing our next manufacturing facility in Jordan, which will be on a piece of land that we purchased two years ago. We anticipate the project will start at the end of 2021 and finish in approximately two years.

We signed an agreement to acquire an existing garment manufacturing facility and it will be effective at the beginning of August 2021. This will give us immediate relief of capacity constraints as we are taking over all the machinery and equipment as well as the current 500 workers. Our top customers have already placed orders to fully book this factory through January 2022.

Finally, I want to highlight that we are achieving the above while remaining a socially responsible company. We believe in paying a living wage to our valued employees, creating a safe and rewarding work environment with opportunities for advancement, and providing access to employment for displaced or disadvantaged workers, including Syrian refugees through our work with the United Nations and local women through our work with the Jordanian government. We are in the process of hiring an additional 200 workers from the Syrian refugees camp for our Amman, Jordan facilities, as well as expanding the operations at our Al-Hasa factory to double the number of employees creating more employment opportunities in the rural area.

We look forward to the year ahead and continuing to report our progress.

Best regards,

/s/ Choi Lin Hung
Choi Lin Hung
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

General Information About the Meeting and Voting

The Board of Directors of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (the “Board”) is using this Proxy Statement to solicit proxies from the holders of its common stock for use at the Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Annual Meeting” or the “meeting”). The notice of meeting, this Proxy Statement, and the enclosed form of proxy card are first being mailed to our stockholders on or about July 28, 2021. In this Proxy Statement, we may also refer to Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. and its subsidiaries as “Jerash,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.”

Meeting Time and Applicable Dates		This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., a Delaware corporation, of the accompanying proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, at 8:30 A.M. ET, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The close of business on Monday, July 19, 2021 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.
Attending the Annual Meeting		Jerash will host the Annual Meeting at Unit A, 19/F Ford Glory Plaza, 37-39 Wing Hong Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The meeting will start at 8:30 A.M. ET on September 15, 2021.
		For information on how to obtain directions to the meeting, please contact us at (214) 906-0065.
		Stockholders may vote and submit questions in accordance with the rules of conduct for the Annual Meeting while attending the Annual Meeting in person.
Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials		We have elected to use the “notice and access” rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which allow us to provide stockholders access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we sent a Notice of Internet Availably of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to all of our stockholders as of the record date instead of a full printed set of proxy materials. The Notice includes instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet and how to request a printed copy of these materials. In addition, by following the instructions in the Notice, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
		Our use of the “notice and access” rules and your choice to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of our annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.
Matters to be Voted Upon at the Annual Meeting		At the Annual Meeting, holders of record of our common stock as of July 19, 2021 will consider and vote upon the following proposals: 1. To elect five directors to the Board to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; 2. To ratify the appointment of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”); and 3. To consider any other business as may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

		As of the date of this Proxy Statement, these are the only matters that the Board intends to present at the Annual Meeting. The Board does not know of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each proposal.
Voting Rights of Holders of Common Stock		Stockholders of record as of the record date are entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. On the record date, there were 11,334,318 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.
Voting Instructions for Record Holders		If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, then you are a stockholder of record with respect to those shares and you may vote by:
		• calling 1-800-690-6903;
		• visiting www.proxyvote.com;
		• completing and returning the enclosed proxy card; or
		• attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
		Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you should vote as soon as possible.
		If you plan to vote by phone or via the Internet, you must vote by 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on Monday, September 13, 2021.
Voting Instructions for Beneficial Owners		If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name” and you must instruct the broker, bank, or other nominee (“broker”) to vote on your behalf. Please refer to the voting instruction card provided by your broker.
		If you are a beneficial owner and wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must bring a letter from your broker to the Annual Meeting confirming:
		1. your beneficial ownership of the shares,
		2. that the broker is not voting the shares at the meeting, and
		3. granting you a legal proxy to vote the shares in person or at the meeting.
		You will not be able to vote shares you hold in street name in person at the Annual Meeting unless you have a legal proxy from your broker issued in your name giving you the right to vote your shares.
Broker Non-Votes		Broker non-votes occur when beneficial owners do not give voting instructions to their brokers and the brokers lack the discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. If you are a beneficial owner and do not give instructions to your broker, the broker will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.

Table of Contents

		Under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters such as ratifying the appointment of external auditors, but do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters such as the election of directors and amending compensatory benefit plans. Broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a particular proposal.
Quorum		A quorum must be present in person or by proxy to hold the Annual Meeting and will exist if the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
		We will include abstentions and broker non-votes to determine whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. An agent of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our inspector of election for the meeting, will determine whether a quorum is present and will tabulate votes cast by proxy or in person. If we do not have a quorum at the Annual Meeting, we expect to adjourn the meeting until we obtain a quorum.
Vote Required to Elect Directors		You may vote either for or withhold authority to vote for all or any of the five nominees named in this Proxy Statement.
		To be elected, each nominee for director must receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. This means that nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as directors.
		Votes that are withheld from any nominee are not counted as a vote “FOR” the director and will have no effect on the vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not deemed to be votes cast and will therefore not affect this proposal.
Vote Required to Ratify Appointment of Friedman		You may cast your vote in favor of, against, or abstain from voting to ratify the appointment of Friedman as our independent registered accounting firm for fiscal 2022.
		To be approved, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal.
		Abstentions will count as votes cast against this proposal. There will be no broker non-votes on this proposal because brokers have discretion to vote shares held in street name on this proposal without specific instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares.
Revoking a Proxy		A stockholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by:
		• executing and delivering a later-dated proxy; or
		• providing written notice of the revocation to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the address above; or
		• attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
		Please note that attending the Annual Meeting alone (without voting in person) is not enough to revoke a proxy. If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you may submit a new, later-dated voting instruction form to your broker or contact your broker.

Table of Contents

No Right of Appraisal		None of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation, or our amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.
Proxy Instructions		All shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies returned and not revoked will be voted in accordance with instructions you give in the proxy. If you return a signed proxy but do not indicate voting instructions, your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board, or “FOR” the following proposals:
		• electing the five director nominees named in the Proxy Statement;
		• ratifying the appointment of Friedman as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2022; and
		• in the proxy holder’s best judgment as to any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
Participants in the Proxy Solicitation		This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board in connection with the Annual Meeting. The Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies personally, by telephone, or otherwise. We will not compensate our directors, officers, or employees for making proxy solicitations on our behalf. We will reimburse brokers for their expenses in forwarding proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held in street name.
Results of the Annual Meeting		We will report the voting results in a filing with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. If the official results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary voting results and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as practicable after they become available.

Please use each Notice you receive to vote your shares to ensure that all of your votes are counted at the Annual Meeting. For more information, see the section entitled “Notice Regarding Delivery of Stockholder Documents” below.

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

Board and Committee Independence

The Board determines whether each of our directors is considered independent. For a director to be considered independent, the director must meet the bright-line independence standards under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board must also affirmatively determine that, in its opinion, each director has no relationship that would interfere with the directors’ exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the director’s responsibilities. In addition to the Nasdaq listing standards, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. The Board has determined that the following nominees satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq: Ibrahim H. Saif, Bill Korn, and Mak Chi Yan.

Leadership Structure of the Board

The Board does not have a policy on whether the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separate and, if they are to be separate, whether the Chairman of the Board should be a non-employee director or an employee. The Board believes that it should have the flexibility to choose this role in any manner that is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. Under our Bylaws, the Board of Directors may elect a Chairperson of the Board from among the directors or from among other officers as it may determine to preside at meetings of the stockholders and directors and to perform other duties as the Board may determine.

Currently, our Chairman of the Board, Choi Lin Hung, is also our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Treasurer. We believe that Mr. Choi’s leadership of the Company in this dual role is appropriate for the Company at this time because his involvement with the Company’s operations and business strategy provide the main focus for the Board. The Board does not currently have a lead independent director. The Board believes its current leadership structure is appropriate because Mr. Choi’s leadership ensures the Company maintains continuity as it grows as a public company and affords the Board access to Mr. Choi’s institutional knowledge of the Company.

Board Committees and Meetings

The Board held five meetings during fiscal 2021. No director attended fewer than 75% the aggregate number of all meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which he or she served during fiscal 2021. All of the Company’s directors, except those who were recently elected, attended last year’s annual meeting of stockholders either in person or by conference call. The Company expects the directors to attend the Annual Meeting either in person or by conference call.

Board Committees

The Board has created three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has adopted a formal, written charter for each of the committees under which each committee operates. The charters can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab on the Company’s website at www.jerashholdings.com. As a matter of routine corporate governance, each committee intends to review its charter and practices on an annual basis to determine whether its charter and practices are consistent with listing standards of Nasdaq.

Table of Contents

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) is composed of three independent directors: Bill Korn, who is the chairperson, Ibrahim H. Saif, and Mak Chi Yan. Each member of the Audit Committee is an independent director as defined by rules of the SEC and Nasdaq. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that Bill Korn is an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC rules.

The Audit Committee has the sole power and authority to select and engage independent auditors for the Company. The Audit Committee reviews with the auditors and with the Company’s management all matters relating to the annual audit of the Company. The Audit Committee held four meetings and several informal meetings over the phone in fiscal 2021.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee also interprets and administers our employee benefit plans, including by selecting participants and approving awards under those plans. The Compensation Committee has the power and authority to form, and delegate authority to, subcommittees. The Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings in fiscal 2021.

Anti-Corruption Policy

We have adopted an Anti-Corruption Policy that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, agents, consultants, joint venture partners, and any other third-party representative that conducts business on behalf of the Company outside of the U.S. or interacts with non-U.S. government officials. This Anti-Corruption Policy sets forth our guiding principles to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and other anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws to which we may be subject, including the anti-corruption provisions of the Penal Code of Jordan. Our Anti-Corruption Policy is publicly available in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab on the Company’s website at www.jerashholdings.com.

Nominating Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, screening, and recommending candidates for membership on the Board.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not yet developed a policy for selecting directors, including any specific minimum requirements or a diversity policy. We believe that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will develop these policies in fiscal 2022. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner as it evaluates candidates recommended by Board members, officers, or search firms. To recommend a potential candidate to the Board, a stockholder must submit the recommendation in writing to Chief Financial Officer, Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., 277 Fairfield Road, Suite 338, Fairfield, NJ 07004, in the manner set forth in our Bylaws, as filed with the SEC. Stockholder nominations must be received no earlier than May 18, 2022 and no later than June 17, 2022 to be considered for our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. See “Other Important Information — Stockholder Proposals for the 2022 Annual Meeting” below for more information. Following the amendment and restatement of our Bylaws in July 2019, stockholders must follow specific requirements to recommend a nominee to serve as a director of the Company. These requirements, as set forth in the Bylaws, are designed to elicit the type of information regarding a director nominee who is proposed by a stockholder that would be comparable to the information reviewed for those nominees proposed by our management to best ensure that stockholder nominees are considered in the same manner by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with our directors may send a letter to: Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., 277 Fairfield Road, Suite 338, Fairfield, NJ 07004, Attention: Board of Directors. All correspondence sent to that address will be delivered to the appropriate directors by our Chief Financial Officer.

Director Compensation

The compensation of our directors is set by our Board of Directors and reviewed by the Compensation Committee at least annually. The Company does not pay any director who is also an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for his or her service as director. In addition to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with serving on the Board, in fiscal 2021 we paid our independent directors who served during that year compensation as follows:

Proposal No. 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

While stockholder ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accountants is not required by our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, the Audit Committee and management believe that it is desirable and a matter of good corporate practice for stockholders to ratify the Company’s selection of the independent registered public accountants. Therefore, the Audit Committee is requesting that stockholders approve the proposal to ratify the appointment of Friedman as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.

The Audit Committee values the input of our stockholders. In the event that stockholders do not approve this proposal, the Audit Committee will consider that fact when it selects the independent registered public accountants for the following year. The Audit Committee may, in its discretion, replace Friedman as the independent registered public accounting firm at a later date without stockholder approval.

Friedman has acted as our independent registered public accountants since 2017. A representative of Friedman will be present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by telephone, to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.

The Board recommends that you vote “for” ratifying the appointment of Friedman to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending March 31, 2022.

(3) “Tax fees” are fees related to preparing the Company’s tax returns as well as fees for tax compliance, advice, and planning.

Audit Committee Report

Management is responsible for the Company’s accounting and financial reporting process. Our external auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the external auditors. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the external auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the external auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

The Company’s external auditors also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the external auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the external auditors about the firm’s independence.

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the external auditors and the Audit Committee’s review of the representation of management and the report of the external auditors to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to stockholder ratification, the appointment of Friedman as the Company’s external auditors for the year ending March 31, 2022.

Stockholder Proposals for the 2022 Annual Meeting

Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders must deliver notice of the proposal to the Company at this address:

Gilbert K. Lee
Chief Financial Officer
Jerash Holdings (US), Inc.
277 Fairfield Road, Suite 338
Fairfield, NJ 07004

We must receive any stockholder proposals by the dates below for those proposals to be considered timely:

• March 31, 2022, if the proposal is submitted for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14a-8; or

• No earlier than May 18, 2022 and no later than June 17, 2022, if the proposal is submitted according to the requirements in our Bylaws and outside the process of Exchange Act Rule 14a-8.

If the date of our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders has been changed by more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the first anniversary of this Annual Meeting, you must submit your proposal not later than the close of business on (1) the 90th day prior to the 2022 annual meeting or (2) the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the 2022 annual meeting is first made. Stockholders may nominate candidates for the Board by the same deadlines as proposals for business to come before the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. Each notice of business or nomination must set forth the information required by our Bylaws. Submitting a notice does not ensure that the proposal will be raised at our annual meeting.

Notice Regarding Delivery of Stockholder Documents

The SEC permits us to send a single set of annual disclosure documents to stockholders who share an address, unless you have instructed us otherwise. This “householding” process reduces the volume of duplicate information you receive and reduces our printing and mailing expenses. If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one Notice, but you would prefer to continue receiving a separate Notice, you may request a separate Notice at no cost to you by writing to the Company at Jerash Holdings (US), Inc., 277 Fairfield Road, Suite 338, Fairfield, NJ 07004, or by calling (214) 906-0065. Alternatively, if you are currently receiving multiple Notices at the same address and wish to receive a single Notice in the future, you may contact us by calling or writing to us at the telephone number or address given above.

If you are a beneficial owner, your broker may deliver only one Notice to stockholders who have the same address unless the broker has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. If you wish to receive a separate Notice, now or in the future, you may contact us at the address or telephone number above and we will promptly deliver a separate Notice.
