Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 14, 2020, China Green Agriculture, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

As reported by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 30, 2020, the Company was unable to file the 2020 Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 expired on October 13, 2020. The Company is unable to meet the filing deadline for the filing of its 2020 Form 10-K due to circumstances related to COVID-19. The primary operations and businesses of the Company are conducted in China, where the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic occurred. During the year of 2020, The Company’s facilities had been under quarantine control and many employees had been in mandatory quarantine. In addition, many travels had been severely restricted from time to time. Thus, the Company’s operations had been impacted in 2020. As a result, the Company’s accounting team was unable to complete its 2020 Form 10-K until after October 20, 2020. The Company is currently working closely with its principal accounting firm to complete the filing of its 2020 Form 10-K as soon as reasonably practicable.

The NYSE has informed the Company that, under the NYSE’s rules, the Company will have six months from the filing due date to file its 2020 Form 10-K. The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards during this six-month period when the Company files its 2020 Form 10-K with the SEC. If the Company fails to file its 2020 Form 10-K within such six-month period, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company's common stock to trade for up to an additional six months depending on specific circumstances. Until the Company files its 2020 Form 10-K, the Company’s common stock will remain listed on the NYSE under the symbol “CGA” and will be assigned a “LF” indicator to signify late filing status.

As noted above, the Company is working diligently to complete its 2020 Form 10-K to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In accordance with the NYSE’s procedures, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the NYSE letter dated October 14, 2020. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference, is a copy of the Company’s press release dated October 20, 2020, announcing the receipt of the NYSE letter.
