INFORMATION STATEMENT
Introduction
This Information Statement
is being furnished to the stockholders of TD Holdings, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“GLG” or the “Company”),
in connection with the prior approval of our Board of Directors of, and receipt of approval by written consent of holders of the
majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock for, the execution and filing of the Amendment to the Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment”) to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company from 100,000,000 shares to 600,000,000 shares (the “Share
Increase”). A copy of Amendment is included as Appendix A to this Information Statement.
The Board of Directors

Company to have sufficient authorized shares for future issuance, including for public or private offerings, conversions of convertible
securities, issuance of stock or stock options to employees, acquisition transactions and other general corporate purposes. Accordingly,
on March 9, 2021, the Board approved the Amendment, and directed that the Amendment be presented to stockholders holding a majority

Under Delaware Law and

96,033,893 shares of Common Stock. As permitted by Delaware Law, on March 10, 2021, we received a written consent in lieu of a
meeting of stockholders from holders of 50,491,213 shares of Common Stock representing 52.58% of the total issued and outstanding
shares of our voting stock approving the Amendment (the “Consent Action”).
WE ARE NOT ASKING
YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. NO PROXY CARD HAS BEEN ENCLOSED AND NO MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS WILL
BE HELD TO CONSIDER THE AMENDMENT AND SHARE INCREASE.
The Amendment and the
Share Increase will not become effective until the filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware of the Amendment at least 20

On March 9, 2021, the Board
approved the Share Increase and Amendment, and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve the same. On March 10,
2021, stockholders holding an aggregate of 50,491,213 shares of our issued and outstanding Common Stock approved the Share Increase
and Amendment by written consent. Those stockholders included Renmei Ouyang and Shuxiang Zhang and other stockholders that hold
less than 5% of our shares of common stock (the “Majority Stockholders”), which collectively hold 52.58% of the Company’s
Common Stock as of March 10, 2021, the record date.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Delaware Law,
our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the authorized shares Increase.
Effective Date and Effects of the Share
Increase
Pursuant to Rule 14c-2
promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Amendment and Share Increase will not be effective until at least twenty (20) days
after the date on which this Information Statement is filed with the Commission and a copy hereof has been mailed to each of our
stockholders. The Company anticipates that this Information Statement will be mailed or furnished to our stockholders on or about
●, 2021. Therefore, the Company anticipates that the Amendment and Share Increase will be effective on or about
●, 2021, or such later date as all conditions and requirements to effectuate the Amendment and Share Increase are satisfied.
Potential uses of the
additional authorized shares of Common Stock may include public or private offerings, conversions of convertible securities, issuance
of stock or stock options to employees, acquisition transactions and other general corporate purposes. Increasing the authorized
number of shares of the Common Stock will give us greater flexibility and will allow the Company to issue such shares, in most
cases, without the expense or delay of seeking stockholders approval. The Company may issue shares of its Common Stock in connection
with financing transactions and other corporate purposes which the Board of Directors believes will be in the best interest of
the Company’s stockholders. The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares,
including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself,
have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (other
than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights, and could have the effect of diluting
earnings per share and book value per share, of existing stockholders.
Householding of Materials
The SEC has adopted
rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for information statements
with respect to two or more security holders sharing the same address by delivering a single information statement addressed to
those security holders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience
for security holders and cost savings for companies.
Brokers with account
holders who are TD Holdings, Inc. stockholders may be “householding” our Information Statement. A single Information
Statement may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the
affected stockholders. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive
a separate Information Statement, please notify your broker and direct your request to TD Holdings, Inc., Attention: Secretary,
25th Floor, Block C, Tairan Building, No. 31 Tairan 8th Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, PRC 518000. The telephone number
of our principal offices is +86 (0755) 88898711. Upon written or oral request to the Company’s secretary, the Company will
promptly provide a separate copy of the Information Statement. If you wish to receive a single copy of the Information Statement
instead of multiple copies, please direct your request to the same address above.
Where You Can Find Additional Information
We file annual, quarterly
and current reports, proxy and information statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You may read and copy this information at the Public Reference Section at the Securities
and Exchange Commission at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public
Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information
statements, and other information about issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.
Conclusion
As a matter of regulatory
compliance, we are sending you this Information Statement, which describes the purpose and effect of the above action. Your
consent to the above action is not required and is not being solicited in connection with this action. This Information
Statement is intended to provide our stockholders information required by the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Please carefully read this Information Statement.
