    We have implemented a reverse stock split to address Nasdaq minimum bid price requirements, and there can be no assurance that our common stock will maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.

    Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Nasdaq requires, among other things, that listed companies maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. In order to address prior or potential non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, we effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split on January 20, 2026. Although the reverse stock split increased the per-share trading price of our common stock, there can be no assurance that the bid price of our common stock will remain at or above the minimum level required by Nasdaq. Reverse stock splits do not directly affect the underlying value of a company and are often viewed negatively by the market. The market price of our common stock may decline following the reverse stock split for a variety of reasons, including market perceptions regarding our business, reduced liquidity due to a lower number of shares outstanding, general market conditions, or other factors unrelated to our financial performance. If the bid price of our common stock were to fall below $1.00 per share for an extended period in the future, we could again be subject to deficiency notices, compliance periods, or potential delisting proceedings by Nasdaq. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq could materially and adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our securities, limit our ability to raise capital, reduce analyst coverage, and decrease investor confidence. While we intend to monitor our continued compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, we may not be able to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or other listing standards in the future.

    Shanchun Huang has control over key decision making as a result of his control of a substantial amount of our voting stock.

    Shanchun Huang, indirectly and directly beneficially owns 2,250,000 shares, or approximately 42.93% of our outstanding common stock as of March 16, 2026. Wealth Index Capital Limited (the "WICL") is the record shareholder directly holds 2,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 42.93% of the Company's 5,240,544 outstanding shares of common stock as of March 16, 2026 based on information from the Company's transfer agent. Mr. Shanchun Huang is the sole member of WICL, holds 100% ownership in WICL. As such, Mr. Huang may be deemed a beneficial owner of the 2,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock directly held by WICL pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. Mr. Shanchun Huang's beneficial ownership of 42.93% of Future FinTech's issued and outstanding common stock will likely give him the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval, including but not limited to the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. This concentrated control could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets that other shareholders support, or conversely this concentrated control could result in the consummation of such a transaction that other shareholders do not support. This concentrated control could also discourage a potential investor from acquiring the common stock of the Company due to the limited voting power of such shares. As a shareholder, even a controlling shareholder, Mr. Shanchun Huang is entitled to vote his shares, and shares over which he has voting control, in his own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our shareholders generally.

    Because our principal assets are located outside of the United States, it may be difficult for investors to use U.S. securities laws to enforce their rights against us, our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the PRC.

    All of our present officers and directors reside outside of the United States, other than Mingjie Zhao. In addition, all of our subsidiaries and assets are located outside of the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the Hong Kong/PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in the PRC or Hong Kong courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States, Hong Kong and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties under the U.S. Federal securities laws or otherwise. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with its counterparts of another country or region to monitor and oversee cross-border securities activities, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or "Article 177," which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Article 177 further provides that Chinese entities and individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to foreign agencies without prior consent from the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council and the competent departments of the PRC State Council. While detailed interpretation of or implementing rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

    We are authorized to issue blank check preferred stock, which may be issued without shareholder approval and which may adversely affect the rights of holders of our Common Stock.

    We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board is authorized under our articles of incorporation, as amended, to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock by resolution and by filing a certificate of designations under Florida law, to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series of preferred stock and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by the shareholders. As of December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Any shares of preferred stock that are issued are likely to have priority over our Common Stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized under certain circumstances as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control, which could have the effect of discouraging bids to acquire us and thereby prevent shareholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares. We have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock in order to discourage or delay a change of control or for any other reason. However, there can be no assurance that preferred stock will not be issued at some time in the future.

    Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Florida law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company and may affect the trading price of our Common Stock.

    As a Florida corporation, we are subject to certain provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that have anti-takeover effects and may inhibit a non-negotiated merger or other business combination. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws also contain other provisions which could have anti-takeover effects. These provisions include, without limitation, the authority of our Board of Directors to issue additional shares of preferred stock and to fix the relative rights and preferences of the preferred stock without the need for any shareholder vote or approval, as discussed above, and advance notice procedures to be complied with by our shareholders in order to make shareholder proposals or nominate directors, such as: - authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be issued by the Board to thwart a takeover attempt;         - require that directors only be removed from office upon a majority shareholder vote;- provide that vacancies on the board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;         - limit who may call special meetings of shareholders; and For more information regarding these and other provisions, see the exhibit titled "Description of Our Securities - Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Florida Law."

    In recent years, our Common Stock has been in danger of being delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ").

    Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC has requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed on NASDAQ, for example, NASDAQ rules require us to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of our common stock. We may be unable to meet NASDAQ listing requirements, including minimum bid price, minimum levels of stockholders' equity or market values of our common stock in which case, our common stock could be delisted. If our common stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our common stock would be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decrease. On May 13, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company's common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification, until November 11, 2024 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On November 12, 2024, the Company received a written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") indicating that the Company has been granted an additional 180 calendar day period or until May 12, 2025, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule. On April 1, 2025, the Company filed with the Florida Secretary of State's office Articles of Amendment (the "Amendment") to amend its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended ("Articles of Incorporation"). As a result of the Amendment, the Company has authorized and approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 60,000,000 shares to 6,000,000 shares, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the "2025 Reverse Stock Split"). The common stock will continue to be $0.001 par value. The Company's shares of common stock began to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the post-Reverse Stock Split basis under the symbol "FTFT" on April 4, 2025. On January 8, 2026, the Company filed with the Florida Secretary of State's office Articles of Amendment (the "Amendment") to amend its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended ("Articles of Incorporation"). As a result of the Amendment, the Company has authorized and approved a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 600,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares, accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The common stock will continue to be $0.001 par value. The Company will round up the fractional shares that result from the Reverse Stock Split and no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. The current pre-split number of shares of commons stock outstanding is 20,193,311 and the post-split number of shares outstanding will be approximately 5,048,328. No changes are being made to the number of preferred shares of the Company which remain as 10,000,000 preferred shares as authorized but not issued. The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company took effect at 1:00pm E.T. on January 8, 2026.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
