INFORMATION
STATEMENT
To
the Holders of the Voting Stock:
The
purpose of this Information Statement is to notify you that the holder of shares representing a majority of the voting power of Organic
Agricultural Company Limited (the “Company”) have given their written consent to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company to amend the articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 74 million to
274 million and to implement a 5.16-for-1 split of the outstanding common stock. We anticipate that this Information Statement will be
mailed on August 27, 2021 to shareholders of record. On or after September 17, 2021, the amendment of the articles of incorporation will
be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and will become effective.
The
Board of Directors approved the amendment primarily in order to comply with the Company’s agreement with Unbounded IOT Block Chain
Limited (“Unbounded”), an entity with offices in Xiamen City, China, with which the Company is carrying on a joint venture.
The agreement with Unbounded requires that the Company implement a 5.16-for-1 stock split and then, if Unbounded satisfies certain criteria,
the Company must issue 20 million of its common shares to Unbounded. Completion of that entire transaction would require more common
shares than are currently authorized and unissued. The increase in authorized shares and the stock split, therefore, will allow the Company
to satisfy its obligations in connection with its agreement with Unbounded.
Nevada
corporation law and the Company’s bylaws permit holders of a majority of the voting power to take shareholder action by written
consent. Accordingly, the Company will not hold a meeting of its shareholders to consider or vote upon the amendment of the Company’s
certificate of incorporation.
WE
ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY.
YOU
ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

AMENDMENT
OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO
INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK AND IMPLEMENT A SPLIT
OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK
The
Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a resolution to amend the articles of incorporation so as to increase the number of shares
of common stock authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors from 74,000,000 to 274,000,000 and to implement a 5.16-for-1 forward
split of the outstanding common stock. The holders of shares representing a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock
have given their written consent to the resolution.
The
Board of Directors approved the amendment primarily in order to comply with the Company's Cooperation Agreement with Unbounded. Pursuant
to the Cooperation Agreement, which was signed on November 6, 2020 and amended on July 19, 2021, the Company and Unbounded organized
Tianci Wanguan (Xiamen) Digital Technology Co., Ltd. ("Tianci Wanguan") for the purpose of developing applications of blockchain
technology for use in agricultural production and marketing. Ownership of Tianci Wanguan is allocated 51% to the Company and 49% to Unbounded;
but day-to-day management of Tianci Wanguan is the responsibility of Unbounded. The Cooperation Agreement provides that the Company will
implement a 5.16-for-1 forward stock split, and then issue 20 million shares of common stock to Unbounded as compensation for its services.
However, the shares issued to Unbounded will be vested in Unbounded's ownership only if Tianci Wanguan records a profit of at least five
million Renminbi (approximately US$771,724) during the twelve month period after the initial 10 million shares are issued to Unbounded.
The Cooperation Agreement provides that the voting rights of the 20 million shares issued to Unbounded will be exercised by Hao Shuping,
who is a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
There are currently 74 million shares of the Company's
common stock authorized and 16,189,336 outstanding, leaving 57,810,664 shares available to be issued. Assuming that Unbounded satisfies
the criteria for receiving the 20 million shares, compliance with the Cooperation Agreement will require issuance of 87,347,638 common
shares. Compliance with the Cooperation Agreement, therefore, requires that additional shares be authorized.
Under Nevada corporation law, the consent of the holder
of a majority of the voting power is effective as shareholders’ approval. We will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State
of Nevada on or after September 17, 2021, and it will become effective on the date of such filing (the “Effective Date”).
On the Effective Date, the number of outstanding common shares will increase to 83,536,974 by reason of the stock split. Promptly after
the Effective Date, the Company will issue 10 million restricted shares to Unbounded, and will issue an additional 10 million shares to
Unbounded within a year later if the criteria for the 20 million share grant is satisfied. Unbounded would then own 19.3% of the outstanding
shares in the Company. If the criteria are not satisfied, then Unbounded will surrender the initial 10 million shares.
The
Board of Directors and the majority shareholders have approved the increase of authorized common stock to 274 million shares in order
to provide the Company with flexibility in pursuing its long-term business objectives. The primary reason for the increase is the requirement
contained in the Cooperation Agreement with Unbounded. Additional reasons for the increase in authorized shares include:
Ø
|
Management
may in the future pursue opportunities to obtain capital in order to fully implement the
Company’s business plan. A reserve of common shares available for issuance from time-to-time
will enable the Company to entertain a broad variety of financing proposals.
|
Ø
|
Management
may utilize the additional shares in connection with corporate acquisitions, joint venture
arrangements, or for other corporate purposes, including the solicitation and compensation
of key personnel.
|
Management
has not entered into any commitment to issue any shares except pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement with Unbounded.
As a result of the increase in authorized common stock
and after implementing the 5.16-for-1 stock split, there will be 190,436,026 common shares available for issuance. The Board of Directors
will be authorized to issue the additional common shares without having to obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Nevada
law requires that the Board use its reasonable business judgment to assure that the Company obtains “fair value” when it issues
shares. Nevertheless, the issuance of the additional shares would dilute the proportionate interest of current shareholders in the Company.
The issuance of the additional shares could also result in the dilution of the value of shares now outstanding, if the terms on which
the shares were issued were less favorable than the contemporaneous market value of the Company’s common stock.
The
increase in the number of common shares available for issuance is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless,
the power of the Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of shares of common stock without shareholder approval has potential
utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the
private placement of stock into “friendly” hands, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control
of the Company. This would have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the
party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.
No
Dissenters Rights
Under
Nevada law, shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the authorized common stock and to implement a forward stock split.
