How does Farmmi’s board of directors recommend that I vote?

 

A:

The Farmmi board of directors recommends that Farmmi shareholders vote or give instruction to vote:

Q:

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

 

A: 

The affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of votes cast by our Ordinary Shares that are present in person or by proxy at our Extraordinary General Meeting is required to approve the Share Capital Reduction Proposal, provided we have quorum for the meeting. 

 

Abstentions and broker non-votes will count for purposes of determining quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because abstentions and broker non-votes do not count as votes cast.

 

 
3

 

  

Q:

How many votes do I and others have?

 

A:

Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each Class A Ordinary Share held, and holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to fifty votes for each Class B Ordinary Share held, as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 13,811,335 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,873 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

 

Q:

How will our directors and executive officers vote on the Share Capital Reduction Proposal?

 

A:

As of the Record Date, the directors and executive officers of Farmmi as a group owned and were entitled to vote 3,873 outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company, representing 0.03% of the outstanding Shares of Farmmi and 1.38% of the total voting power of the Farmmi Shares on that date. Farmmi expects that its directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of the Capital Reduction Proposal.

 

Q:

What will happen if I fail to vote or I abstain from voting?

 

A:

If you fail to vote, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining quorum or for purposes of the voting results. If you choose to appear for purposes of quorum but to abstain from voting, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether we have quorum sufficient to hold the meeting but will not be counted for purposes of the voting results. For this reason, if we have quorum, a failure to vote and an abstention would both be disregarded at the meeting, but a failure to vote could result in the Extraordinary General Meeting not reaching quorum, while an abstention would help us achieve quorum.

 

Q:

How many shares must be present to hold the Extraordinary General Meeting?

 

A:

The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding not less than an aggregate of one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in the Company is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The inspector of election will determine whether a quorum is present. If you are a beneficial owner of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares on the proposal, your shares will not be counted as present at the Extraordinary General Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Votes of shareholders of record who are present at the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy will be counted as present at the Extraordinary General Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, whether or not such holder abstains from voting on all of the proposal.

 

Q:

What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?

 

A:

Proxy cards that are signed and returned but do not contain instructions will be voted in favor of Proposal 1, in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the meeting.

 

Q:

Can I change my vote after I have returned a proxy or voting instruction card?

 

A:

You may change your vote at any time before the polls close at the conclusion of voting at the meeting. You may do this by (1) signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us by mail before the meeting, (2) voting again over the Internet prior to the time of the meeting, (3) voting again by email or fax prior to the time of the meeting, or (4) voting at the meeting if you are a registered shareholder or have followed the necessary procedures required by your bank or broker.

 

Q:

Do I need identification to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person?

 

A:

Yes. Please bring proper identification, together with proof that you are a record owner of Farmmi Ordinary Shares. If your shares are held in street name, please bring acceptable proof of ownership, such as a letter from your broker or an account statement stating or showing that you beneficially owned Farmmi Ordinary Shares on the Record Date. Acceptable proof of ownership is either (a) a letter from your broker stating that you beneficially owned Farmmi stock on the Record Date or (b) an account statement showing that you beneficially owned Farmmi stock on the Record Date.

Purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting

 

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Farmmi is asking its shareholders as of the record date of January 28, 2026 (the “Record Date”) to consider and vote upon the following proposal:

 

(1) IT IS RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT, subject to and conditional upon compliance at all times with the Companies Act (Revised) (the “Act”) in respect of the Capital Reduction, with effect from the date on which these conditions are satisfied, the authorised share capital of the Company be reduced from (i) US$12,000,000,000 divided into 4,500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of US$2.40 nominal or par value each, and 500,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of US$2.40 nominal or par value each, to (ii) US$50 divided into 4,500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of US$0.000,000,010 nominal or par value each, and 500,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of US$0.000,000,010 nominal or par value each, by the reduction of the par value of each Class A share and each Class B share by US$2.399,999,990 (the “Capital Reduction”), in each case, having the rights and being subject to the restrictions as set out in the Articles of Associations, as amended, of the Company.

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum

 

Shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting if they owned Farmmi Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares on the Record Date, January 28, 2026. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares will have one vote for each such share owned, and holders of Class B Ordinary Shares will have fifty votes for each such share owned, at the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

 

As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 13,811,335 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,873 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding, and our directors and officers beneficially own approximately 0.03% of the aggregate number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares and 1.38% of the total voting power of our outstanding shares on the Record Date.

 

A quorum of Farmmi shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding not less than an aggregate of one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in the Company is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will be disregarded for purposes of determining the results of voting.

 

Vote Required; Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of votes cast by our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares that are present in person or by proxy at our Extraordinary General Meeting is required to approve the Share Capital Reduction Proposal, provided we have quorum for the meeting.

 

Abstentions will count for purposes of determining quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote because abstentions do not count as votes cast.

 

Voting of Proxies

 

If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, TranShare Corporation, you may cause your shares to be voted by returning a signed proxy card, or you may vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Additionally, you may submit electronically over the Internet a proxy authorizing the voting of your shares by following the instructions on your proxy card. You must have the enclosed proxy card available, and follow the instructions on the proxy card, in order to submit a proxy electronically over the Internet. Based on your proxy cards or Internet proxies, the proxy holders will vote your shares according to your directions.

 

If you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the meeting. If your shares are registered in your name, you are encouraged to vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person. If you attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person, your vote by ballot will revoke any proxy previously submitted.

 

 
7

 

  

Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. All shares represented by properly executed proxies received in time for the Extraordinary General Meeting will be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder.

 

If your shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you may vote through your broker, bank or other nominee by completing and returning the voting form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee, or by the Internet through your broker, bank or other nominee if such a service is provided. To vote via the Internet through your broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions on the voting form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. If you do not return your bank’s, broker’s or other nominee’s voting form, do not vote via the Internet or through your broker, bank or other nominee, if possible, and do not attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person with a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee, it will have the same effect as if you voted “AGAINST”.

 

Revocability of Proxies

 

If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting by:

 

Submitting a new proxy electronically over the Internet after the date of the earlier submitted proxy;

Signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting; or

Attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and voting in person.

 

Please note that to be effective, your new proxy card, internet voting instructions or written notice of revocation must be received by us prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting and, in the case of internet voting instructions, must be received before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on February 23, 2026. If you have submitted a proxy, your appearance at the Extraordinary General Meeting, in the absence of voting in person or submitting an additional proxy or revocation, will not have the effect of revoking your prior proxy.

 

If you hold your Ordinary Shares in “street name,” you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote. You may also vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting if you obtain a valid “legal” proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee. Any adjournment, recess or postponement of the Extraordinary General Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow Farmmi shareholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Extraordinary General Meeting as adjourned, recessed or postponed.

Board of Directors’ Recommendation

 

After careful consideration, the Company’s board of directors has determined that the transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. They unanimously recommend that you vote or give instruction to vote:

 

“FOR” the Capital Reduction Proposal.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

The expense of soliciting proxies in the enclosed form will be borne by Farmmi. Proxies may also be solicited by some of our directors, officers and employees, personally or by facsimile, email or other means of communication. No additional compensation will be paid for such services.

 

Adjournment and Reconvention

 

The board of directors intends that, if a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the meeting shall stand adjourned and the board of directors shall resolve to reconvene at the same time on the next day at the same place, at which reconvened meeting, if a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the shareholders present shall be a quorum (all in accordance with Article 66 of the Articles of Association, as amended, of the Company).

 

Other Matters

 

At this time, we know of no other matters to be submitted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

 

Householding of Extraordinary General Meeting Materials

 

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this proxy statement and notice to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. Each shareholder in the household will continue to receive a separate proxy card. This process, known as “house holding”, reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses.

 

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares?

 

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your Farmmi Ordinary Shares, you may submit questions via email to Proxy@Transhare.com.

PROPOSAL 1: SHARE CAPITAL REDUCTION

 

On January 30, 2026, the Board of the Company approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, the following resolution (the “Share Capital Reduction Proposal”):

 

IT IS RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT, subject to and conditional upon compliance at all times with the Companies Act (Revised) (the “Act”) in respect of the Capital Reduction with effect from the date on which these conditions are satisfied, the authorised share capital of the Company be reduced from (i) US$12,000,000,000 divided into 4,500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of US$2.40 nominal or par value each, and 500,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of US$2.40 nominal or par value each, to (ii) US$50 divided into 4,500,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of US$0.000,000,010 nominal or par value each, and 500,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of US$0.000,000,010 nominal or par value each, by the reduction of the par value of each Class A share and each Class B share by US$2.399,999,990 (the “Capital Reduction”), in each case, having the rights and being subject to the restrictions as set out in the Articles of Associations, as amended, of the Company.

 

Reason for the Capital Reduction Proposal

 

The Board of Directors of the Company considers it to be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders to approve the Capital Reduction Proposal because it would help attract more investors and broaden the base of the shareholders, and thus provide flexibility for equity financings in the future.

 

Pursuant to the Companies Act and the Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, the Company shall not issue shares at a price below par value. After the prior share consolidations effected and the recent sales by an investor of substantial amounts of shares issued as a result of debt conversions, the Ordinary Shares have been trading below par value, and therefore it is difficult for management to negotiate with any potential investors for possible offer or sale of the Ordinary Shares at or above the par value.

 

As the Company continues to grow its businesses, it has incurred increased costs and expenditures. In order to improve the financial position of the Company, the Company intends to continue to explore equity financing opportunities. To facilitate capital raises by way of issuance of equity securities or convertible securities, the Company considers that it is desirable and necessary to lower the par value of the Ordinary Shares through implementing the Capital Reduction, such that the Company will be afforded such flexibility and ability to capture appropriate capital raising opportunities in a timely manner.

 

Conditions of the Capital Reduction 

 

The Capital Reduction is conditional upon:

 

(a)

the passing of the special resolution by the shareholders of the Company to approve the Capital Reduction at the Extraordinary General Meeting;

 

(b)

compliance at all times with the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands in relation to the Capital Reduction;

 

(c)

registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meeting containing the particulars required under the Companies Act with respect to the Capital Reduction, including a solvency statement made by the Directors of the Company; and

 

(d)

the compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements under the Companies Act and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to effectuate the Capital Reduction.

 

 
10

 

  

The Capital Reduction will become effective when the conditions contemplated above are satisfied.

 

Potential Effects of the Share Capital Reduction Proposal

 

If implemented, the Capital Reduction will be effected simultaneously for all issued ordinary shares of the Company. The Capital Reduction will affect all of our ordinary shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company. After the Capital Reduction, our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively, will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions as that attached to them prior to the Capital Reduction. The proposed Capital Reduction will not affect the validity or transferability of shares outstanding or the trading of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Required Vote

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of votes cast by our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares that are present in person or by proxy at our Extraordinary General Meeting is required to approve the Share Capital Reduction Proposal, provided we have quorum for the meeting.  

 

THE FARMMI BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT FARMMI

SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE SHARE CAPITAL REDUCTION PROPOSAL.
