FT Global Litigation

As previously disclosed, FT Global Capital, Inc. ("FT Global"), a former placement agent of Future FinTech Group Inc. (the "Company" or "Defendant") filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia in January 2021, relating to alleged breaches of an exclusive placement agent agreement between FT Global and the Company in July 2020. The Company timely removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the "Court") on February 9, 2021 based on diversity of jurisdiction. On April 11, 2024, the Court entered a judgment awarding FT Global $8,875,265.31 and on April 16, 2024, the Court issued an amended judgment, awarding FT Global $10,598,379.93, which includes $7,895,265.31 in damages, $1,723,114.62 in prejudgment interest, and $980,000.00 in attorney's fees. The Company filed a post-trial motion challenging the judgment on May 9, 2024, which remains pending before the Court. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the action against FT Global, including by appealing the judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, if necessary. FT Global has registered the Court's judgment in the Southern District of New York ("NY Court"), where FT Global has brought a motion requiring the Company to turn over its stock in its subsidiary companies. The Company has filed an opposition to the motion, arguing that according to the New York statute the NY Court should first determine that the value of the stock in the subsidiary is insufficient to satisfy the judgment as the Company believe the request for turnover is premature before a valuation hearing. On August 28, 2024, NY Court granted FT Global's motion for turnover of Defendant's shares in Defendant's wholly-owned subsidiaries as Defendant 1) failed to satisfy the $10.8 million judgment rendered in the Northern District of Georgia and registered in the Southern District of New York, and 2) is in possession of money and property in which it has an interest. The NY Court ordered Defendant shall turn over the shares, membership, or limited partnership interests in all of its subsidiaries, and the corporate seals of its China and Hong Kong-based subsidiaries, to the U.S. Marshal for auction or sale until the judgment is satisfied. The Company will continue to vigorously defend the action against FT Global, including by appealing the order of the NY Court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
