Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On May 8, 2019, Tenjove NewHemp Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Tenjove”), a subsidiary of Shineco, Inc. (“Shineco”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a Notice of Exempt Offering of Securities on Form D regarding an offering (“Offering”) of tokens that Tenjove plans to conduct under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”).

 

Tenjove plans to raise up to $20,000,000 in the Offering, and up to an additional $20,000,000 in an offering under Regulation S of the Securities Act. Tenjove intends to use the net proceeds from sales of the tokens to develop land and facilities for cultivating industrial hemp in China under a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary (the “Operations”). On an annual basis, Tenjove will agree to repurchase a certain number of tokens on the open market in an amount equal to the higher of 5% of the total amount of proceeds raised by Tenjove in the offerings, or 40% of net profits generated from the Operations (the “Repurchase Amount”). Shineco will guarantee Tenjove’s obligations to repurchase the tokens up to the Repurchase Amount.
