Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 10, 2021, PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) received a letter from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), stating that the Company’s submission to FINRA on November 24, 2020 for the processing and approval of a proposed 1:10 reverse stock split had been denied (the “Stock Split”). FINRA stated the reason that the Stock Split was denied was in connection with the Company’s deficiency in fulfilling the requirements of FINRA Rule 6480, including, but not limited to, its delinquency in the timely filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of its 10K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 and its 10Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2021.

As a result of this FINRA letter, the Company’s Board of Directors has cancelled the proposed Stock Split, as well as the following corporate actions connected to it as approved by the Board of Directors on October 27, 2020, and which were stated in the Information Statement filed on form DEF14C with the SEC on November 10, 2020 (the “Information Statement”), which corporate actions were dependent for their implementation on the approval by FINRA of the Stock Split:

(a) A reduction in the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, which without the Stock Split, is no longer feasible. This corporate action, included in said DEF14C, is cancelled.

(b) The corporate action pertaining to the issuance of a Rights Offering by the Registrant to its common stock shareholders wherein shareholders of record as of November 25, 2020 would receive the right to subscribe for new shares of Company common stock, following the Reverse Split. The proposed Rights Offering is cancelled.

(c) In connection with the shares to be issued under the Rights Offering, the Registration Statement for up to 200,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock that may have been issued under the Rights Offering, as filed on form S-1 with the SEC on February 18, 2021, will be withdrawn.
