If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

PART I - REGISTRANT INFORMATION

PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

PART III - NARRATIVE

S&W Seed Company, or the Company, has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K, or Annual Report, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 within the time period prescribed primarily due to the circumstance described below.

On July 24, 2024, S&W Seed Company Australia Pty Ltd, or S&W Australia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, adopted a voluntary plan of administration, or VA, based on its determination that it is likely to become “insolvent” within the meaning of section 436A(1) of Australia’s Corporations Act 2001. In Australia, VA is a process whereby an insolvent company is placed in the hands of one or more independent administrators whose role is to investigate the company’s affairs, to report to creditors and to recommend to creditors whether the company should enter into a deed of company arrangement, liquidation, or be returned to its board of directors. VA involves an investigation of available options to provide a better return to creditors and, if possible, to save the business.

The delay is due to the impact of the VA process on the Annual Report, and the additional time required to complete and compile the necessary financial information related to the potential outcome(s) of the VA process, and its impact on related disclosures throughout the Annual Report, and required to prepare a complete filing. The Company anticipates that the Annual Report will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).

Yes ý No o

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

Yes ý No o

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Based on the Company’s initial analysis, the Company anticipates significant changes in the Company’s results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2023. Because the Company has not completed its financial statements to be included in the Annual Report due to the reasons stated above, the Company is currently unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any such material change in loss from operations.
