PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF

FUTURE FINTECH GROUP INC.

To be Held on Tuesday, December 5, 2023

The Board of Directors of Future FinTech Group Inc., a Florida corporation (“Future FinTech” or the “Company”), is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at our office, located at Room 2302, South Tower T1, Kaisa Plaza, No. 86 Jianguo Avenue, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China, on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, at 10:00 A.M., local time, and at any adjournments thereof. You are receiving a proxy statement because you own shares of the Company’s common stock on the Record Date that entitle you to vote at the Annual Meeting. By use of a proxy, you can vote whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. The proxy statement describes the matters we would like you to vote on and provides information on those matters so you can make an informed decision.

THE 2023 ANNUAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place of the Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, at the Company’s office at Room 2302, South Tower T1, Kaisa Plaza, No. 86 Jianguo Avenue, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China 100025.

Matters to be Voted Upon at the Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting, Future FinTech is asking its shareholders as of the record date of October 12, 2023 (the “Record Date”) to consider and vote upon proposals:

(1)

To elect five directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified; and

(2)

To ratify Fortune CPA, Inc., as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023; and

	(3)	To adopt and approve the Future FinTech Group Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Plan; and

	(4)	To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote

Shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Annual Meeting if they owned shares of Future FinTech common stock on the Record Date. Shareholders will have one vote for each share of Future FinTech common stock 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. At the close of business on October 12, 2023, we had 14,645,653 shares of common stock outstanding.

Quorum

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to hold a meeting. A majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be represented in person or by proxy at the meeting to establish a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for determining the presence of a quorum. Broker non-votes, however, are not counted as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to the matter on which the broker has not voted. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares.

Voting Generally

Holders of record of shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share on each matter to be considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, state that there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of the directors listed below. Abstentions and non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be counted as a vote for the election as a director of any nominee.

Votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated at the Annual Meeting. All valid, unrevoked proxies will be voted as directed. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, properly executed proxies will be voted (i) for the election of each of the nominees for director set forth herein, (ii) for the ratification of Fortune CPA, Inc., as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and (iii) for the adoption of Future FinTech Group Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Plan.

If any matters other than those addressed on the proxy card are properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will have the discretion to vote on those matters in their best judgment, unless authorization is withheld.

Many of our shareholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As a shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. As the shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy using the accompanying proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.

By Mail — shareholders will receive a proxy card and can follow the instructions given for mailing. A paper copy of the proxy materials may also be obtained by following the instructions given on the notice and proxy card. To vote using the proxy card, simply print the proxy card, complete, sign and date it and return it promptly to Annual Meeting & Proxy Services, Transhare Corporation, Bayside Center 1, 17755 US Highway 19 N, Suite 140, Clearwater FL 33764. In the alternative, the proxy card can be mailed directly to the Company: Corporate Secretary at Americas Tower, 1177 Avenue of The Americas, Suite 5100, New York, NY 10036.

Online — shareholders may submit a proxy online using the website listed on the proxy card. Please have your proxy card in hand when you log onto the website. Online voting facilities will close and no longer be available on the date and time specified on the proxy card.

In Person — shareholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, given that it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting.

Please note that the notice letter you received directing you to the website at which the proxy materials are available is not the proxy card and should not be used to submit your vote.

If you do not return a signed proxy card, vote online or attend the meeting and vote in person, your shares will not be voted. Shares of our common stock represented by properly executed proxies that are received by us and are not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and instructions are not given, such proxies will be voted FOR the election of each nominee for director named herein, FOR ratification of the selection of Fortune CPA, Inc., as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and FOR the adoption of Future FinTech Group Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Plan. In addition, we reserve the right to exercise discretionary authority to vote proxies, in the manner determined by us, in our sole discretion, on any matters brought before the Annual Meeting for which we did not receive adequate notice under the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Beneficial Holder. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote and are also invited to attend the meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote those shares at the meeting.

Required Vote

The nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular slot is elected for that slot. Votes withheld from one or more director nominees will have no effect on the election of any director from whom votes are withheld. The approval of each of the other proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on that proposal.

If you are a beneficial owner and do not provide the shareholder of record with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Under applicable regulations, if a broker holds shares on your behalf, and you do not instruct your broker how to vote those shares on a matter considered “routine,” the broker may generally vote your shares for you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from you on a “non-routine” matter, in which case the broker does not have authority to vote your shares with respect to such matter. Unless you provide voting instructions to a broker holding shares on your behalf, your broker may not use discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.

Unless otherwise required by the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws, the Florida Business Corporation Act, or by other applicable law, any other proposal that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting will require approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast at the Annual Meeting. With respect to any such proposal, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for purposes of determining whether the proposal has received sufficient votes for approval.

Directors and executive officers of the Company (excluding Mr. Zeyao Xue, the son of the President of the Company) beneficially hold approximately 1,043,493 shares of Company Common Stock, or 7.1% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Zeyao Xue directly and indirectly owns 2,908,201 shares of Company Common Stock or 19.9% of all the votes that will be entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting.

Deadline for Voting by Proxy

In order to be counted, votes cast by proxy must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.

Revocability of Proxies

Shareholders are requested to date, sign and return the enclosed proxy card to make certain their shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Any proxy given may be revoked by the shareholder at any time before it is voted by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by filing with the Secretary of the Company a proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified thereon.

Householding

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially results in extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. The Company has adopted the SEC-approved “householding” procedure.

Upon written or oral request, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy statement and proxy materials of Annual Meeting of Shareholders to any shareholder at a shared address to which the Company delivered a single copy of any of these documents. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of proxy materials, you may:

●

Send a written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at Americas Tower, 1177 Avenue of The Americas, Suite 5100, New York, NY 10036, or call 888-622-1218 if you are a shareholder of record; or

●

Notify your broker, if you hold your shares of common stock under street name.

If you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in householding, please contact the Company using the mailing address and phone number above. Shareholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

Future FinTech Information

Our principal executive offices are located at Americas Tower, 1177 Avenue of The Americas, Suite 5100, New York, NY 10036. The telephone number of our principal offices is 888-622-1218.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Directors

Based on the Company’s nominations process, a majority of the independent members of the Board shall recommend to the Board for nomination by the Board such candidates as said majority of the independent directors, in the exercise of their judgment, have found to be well qualified and willing and available to serve. A majority of our independent directors of the Board has recommended and the Board has nominated the persons listed below for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, to hold office until the next Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. It is not contemplated that any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director, but, if that should occur, the persons designated as proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment. In no event will proxies be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named in this Proxy Statement.

All shares represented by valid proxies, and not revoked before they are exercised, will be voted in the manner specified therein. If a valid proxy is submitted but no vote is specified, the Proxy will be voted FOR the election of each of the five nominees for election as directors. Please note that your broker will not be permitted to vote on your behalf on the election of directors unless you provide specific instructions by completing and returning the voting instruction form. For your vote to be counted, you will need to communicate your voting decisions to your broker or other nominee before the date of the Annual Meeting or obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares at the meeting. Although all nominees are expected to serve if elected, if any nominee is unable to serve, then the persons designated as proxies will vote for the remaining nominees and for such replacements, if any, as may be nominated by our Board, who currently serves the functions of a nominating committee as the Board does not have a standing nominating committee. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees specified herein (five persons). Cumulative voting is not permitted.

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of the directors listed below.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and the Florida Business Corporation Act, the Company’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board. Directors are kept informed on the Company’s business through discussions with management, including the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings.

Our Board meets on a regular basis during the year to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring Board approval. It also holds special meetings when an important matter requires Board action between scheduled meetings. Members of senior management regularly attend Board meetings to report on and discuss their respective areas of responsibility. The Board held 10 regularly scheduled and special meetings during fiscal year 2022. All of the directors attended (in person or by telephone) all of the Board meetings and any committees of the Board on which they served during the fiscal year. Directors are expected to use their best efforts to be present at the shareholders annual meeting. All of our directors attended the December 16, 2022 shareholders annual meeting by tele-conference or in person.

Independent Directors

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. NASDAQ requires that a majority of the Company’s directors be “independent,” as defined by the NASDAQ’s rules. Generally, a director does not qualify as an independent director if the director (or, in some cases, a member of the director’s immediate family) has, or in the past three years had, certain relationships or affiliations with the Company, its external or internal auditors, or other companies that do business with the Company. The Board of Directors has determined that a majority of the Company’s directors are independent directors under the NASDAQ rules. The Company’s independent directors are: Johnson Lau, Fuyou Li and Mingjie Zhao.

Our Board of Directors, which is elected by our shareholders, is our ultimate decision-making body, except with respect to those matters reserved to our shareholders. The Board selects the officers who are charged with the conduct of our business, and has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for our overall performance. The Board is not involved in operating details on a day-to-day basis. The Board is advised of our business through regular reports and analyses and discussions with our principal executive officer and other officers.

Code of Ethics and Governance Program

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.ftft.com and may be found by first clicking on “Investors,” then “Corporate Governance” and then “Governance Documents.” We intend to disclose any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

Committees of the Board and Attendance at Meetings

The Board held 10 regularly scheduled and special meetings during fiscal year 2022. All of the directors attended (in person or by telephone) all of the Board meetings and any committees of the Board on which they served during the fiscal year. Directors are expected to use their best efforts to be present at the shareholders annual meeting. All of our directors attended the December 16, 2022 shareholders annual meeting by tele-conference or in person.

Audit Committee and Report of the Audit Committee

On April 25, 2008, the Board formed an audit committee. Messrs. Lau, Li and Zhao currently serve on the audit committee, which is chaired by Mr. Lau. Each member of the audit committee is “independent” as that term is defined in the rules of the SEC and within the meaning of such term as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Board has determined that each audit committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the audit committee. The audit committee held 5 meetings during fiscal year 2022, and all audit committee members attended each of those meetings. Our Board has determined that Mr. Lau is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the applicable SEC rules. The audit committee has a written charter, which is available on the Company’s website at http://www.ftft.com.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and issuing reports thereon. The audit committee’s responsibility is to monitor these processes. The audit committee meets with management, the leader of the internal audit function, and the independent accounting firm to facilitate communication. In addition, the audit committee appoints the Company’s independent accounting firm and pre-approves all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent accounting firm.

In this context, the audit committee has discussed with the Company’s independent accounting firm the overall scope and plans for the independent audit. The audit committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management represented to the audit committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Discussions about the Company’s audited financial statements included the independent accounting firm’s judgments about the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee also discussed with the independent accounting firm the other matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees). The Company’s independent accounting firm provided to the audit committee the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB, and the committee discussed the independent accounting firm’s independence with management and the independent accounting firm.

Based on: (i) the audit committee’s discussion with management and the independent accounting firm; (ii) the audit committee’s review of the representations of management; and (iii) the report of the independent accounting firm to the audit committee, the audit committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC.

Compensation Committee

On April 25, 2008, the Board formed a compensation committee. Messrs. Lau, Li and Zhao currently serve on the compensation committee, which is chaired by Mr. Zhao. Each member of the compensation committee is “independent” as that term is defined in the SEC rules and within the meaning of such term as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market, a “nonemployee director” for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. No interlocking relationship exists between the Board or the compensation committee and the Board or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed during the last fiscal year. The compensation committee held 3 meetings during fiscal year 2022, and all compensation committee members attended those meetings. The compensation committee has a written charter, which is available on the Company’s website at http://www.ftft.com/.

Our Board has delegated to the compensation committee the responsibility, among other things, to determine any and all compensation payable to our executive officers, including annual salaries, incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and any other compensation, and to administer our equity and incentive compensation plans applicable to our executive officers. Decisions regarding executive compensation made by the compensation committee are considered final and are not generally subject to Board review or ratification. Under the terms of its written charter, the compensation committee has the power and authority to delegate any of its duties and responsibilities to subcommittees as the compensation committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. Historically, the compensation committee has not generally delegated any of its duties and responsibilities to subcommittees, but rather has taken such actions as a committee, as a whole. Deliberations and decisions by the compensation committee concerning executive officers are made by the compensation committee, without the presence of the any executive officer of the Company.

Other Committees

The Board may on occasion establish other committees, as it deems necessary or required. We do not currently have a standing nominating committee, or a committee performing similar functions. The full Board currently serves this function. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the Board. The Board will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment. There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of five members, including three independent directors who serve as members of our audit committee and compensation committee. Our Board leadership structure consists of a Chairman of the Board. Currently, Mr. Fuyou Li, an independent director, serves as Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors believes that this leadership structure, with Mr. Li serving as the Chairman and Mr. Shanchun Huang serving as Chief Executive Officer, is appropriate at this time because it enables the Board, as a whole, to engage in oversight of management, promote communication and collaboration between management and the Board, and oversee governance matters, while allowing our Chief Executive Officer to focus on his primary responsibility, the operational leadership and strategic direction of the Company. In addition to chairing the Board, Mr. Li is a member of the Audit and Compensation Committees.

Board independence and oversight of the senior management of the Company are enabled by the presence of independent directors who have a wide range of expertise and skills and have oversight over critical functions of the Company, such as the review of business development, evaluation and compensation of executive management, the nomination of directors. Our independent directors collectively provide additional strength and balance to our Board leadership structure.

Risk Management

The Chief Executive Officer and senior management are primarily responsible for identifying and managing the risks facing the Company under the oversight and supervision of the Board. The Chief Executive Officer reports to the Board of Directors regarding any risks identified and steps it is taking to manage those risks. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the areas of financial reporting and internal controls. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the area of compensation policies and practices. Other general business risks such as economic, regulatory and permitting are monitored by the full Board.

Communications with Directors

Shareholders may communicate with the Board or to one or more individual members of the Board by writing Future FinTech Group Inc., at Americas Tower, 1177 Avenue of The Americas, Suite 5100, New York, NY 10036, Attention: Corporate Secretary. As appropriate, communications received from shareholders are forwarded directly to the Board, or to any individual member or members, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication. The Board has authorized the Secretary, in his discretion, to exclude communications that are patently unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings. In addition, material that is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable will be excluded, with the provision that any communication that is filtered out by the Secretary pursuant to the policy will be made available to any non-management director upon request. Individual directors are not permitted to communicate with shareholders or others outside the Company unless they are deemed authorized persons under the Company’s corporate disclosure policy.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the Company’s executive officers has served as a member of a compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any other entity whose executive officers serve as a director of the Company or member of the Company’s compensation committee.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any current executive officer or director of the Company.

All of our directors and officers reside outside of the United States, except for Mr. Yang Liu, Mingjie Zhao and Ying Li.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that directors, certain officers of the Company and more than ten percent shareholders file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission as to the Company’s securities beneficially owned by them. Such persons are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties

On September 30, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, which was amended on July 11, 2011. A copy of the amended and restated statement of policies and procedures is available on the Company’s website at http://www.ftft.com/.

The statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, as amended, requires the audit committee to review the material facts of all interested transactions, as further described below, unless an exception applies, and either approve or disapprove of our entry into an interested transaction. If the audit committee’s advance approval of an interested transaction is not feasible, then such interested transaction shall be considered at the audit committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting and, if the audit committee determines it to be appropriate, then such interested transaction shall be ratified.

In determining whether to approve or ratify a transaction with related party, the audit committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the interested transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, as described below. Pursuant to the statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions, no director shall participate in any discussion or approval of an interested transaction for which he or she is a related party, except that such director shall provide all material information concerning the interested transaction to the audit committee. If an interested transaction is ongoing, the audit committee may establish guidelines for our management to follow in our ongoing dealings with the related party. Thereafter, the audit committee, on at least an annual basis, shall review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to see that such related party is in compliance with the audit committee’s guidelines and that the interested transaction remains appropriate.

For purposes of the statement of policies and procedures with respect to related party transactions:

●

a “transaction with related party” is a transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and

●

a “related party” has the meaning ascribed to the term “related person” under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the following interested transactions shall be deemed to be pre-approved by the audit committee, even if the aggregate amount involved exceeds $50,000:

●

Employment of executive officers. Any employment of an executive officer if either (i) the related compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements generally applicable to “named executive officers” or (ii) the executive officer is not an immediate family member of another executive officer or director, the related compensation would be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements if the executive officer was a “named executive officer” and our compensation committee approved or recommended that the board of directors approve such compensation.

●

Director compensation. Any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under Item 402 of the Commission’s compensation disclosure requirements.

●

Certain transactions with other companies. Any transaction with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee other than an executive officer, director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed 2% of that company’s total annual revenue.

●

Certain charitable contributions. Any charitable contribution, grant or endowment by us to a charitable organization, foundation or university at which a related party’s only relationship is as an employee other than an executive officer or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 2% of the charitable organization’s total annual receipts.

●

Transactions where all shareholders receive proportional benefits. Any transaction where the related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our Common Stock and all holders of our Common Stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis, such as dividends.

●

Transactions involving competitive bids. Any transaction involving a related party where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids.

●

Regulated transactions. Any transaction with a related party involving the rendering of services as a common or contract carrier or public utility, at rates or charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.

Certain banking-related services. Any transaction with a related party involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture or similar services.

PROPOSAL 2 – RATIFICATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE’S SELECTION OF THE

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has selected Fortune CPA, Inc. as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and has further directed that management submit the selection of Fortune CPA, Inc. for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The shareholders are being asked to ratify this appointment so that the Audit Committee will know the opinion of the shareholders. However, the Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm.

Neither representatives of Fortune CPA, Inc. nor Onestop Assurance PAC, our former independent auditor are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by teleconference.

On August 2, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Onestop Assurance PAC (“Onestop Assurance”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.

Onestop Assurance’ audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 contained an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through August 1, 2023, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and Onestop Assurance on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Onestop Assurance, would have caused Onestop Assurance to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On August 2, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Fortune CPA, Inc. (“Fortune CPA”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The Audit Committee also approved Fortune CPA to act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through August 1, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Fortune CPA regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as described above; and there was neither a written report nor was oral advice provided to the Company by Fortune CPA that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

The Company reported its change in auditors in Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on August 8, 2023.

On April 25, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. BF Borgers’ audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 contained an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s two previous fiscal years and in the subsequent interim period through April 24, 2021, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused BF Borgers to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the financial statements for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

On April 25, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of Onestop Assurance PAC (“Onestop Assurance”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The Audit Committee also approved Onestop Assurance to act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

During the Company’s two previous fiscal years and through April 24, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Onestop Assurance regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of the Company; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event as described above; and there was neither a written report nor was oral advice provided to the Company by Onestop Assurance that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is necessary for ratification of the selection of Fortune CPA, Inc. as our independent registered public accounting firm.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF Fortune CPA, Inc., AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Accountant

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent accountants are permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. The audit committee’s policy utilizes an annual review and general pre-approval of certain categories of specified services that may be provided by the independent accountant, up to pre-determined fee levels. Any proposed services not qualifying as a pre-approved specified service, and pre-approved services exceeding the pre-determined fee levels, require further specific pre-approval by the audit committee. The audit committee has delegated to the Chairman of the audit committee the authority to pre-approve audit and non-audit services proposed to be performed by the independent accountants and the Chairman of the audit committee must report any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. Our audit committee was established in April 2008. All the services provided by our auditors in fiscal years 2022 were pre-approved by the audit committee.

PROPOSAL 3 – FUTURE FINTECH GROUP INC. 2023 OMNIBUS EQUITY PLAN

Background

Our shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on this proposal to approve the Future FinTech Group Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “Equity Plan”).

On December 18, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2020 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “2020 Plan”) at the annual shareholders meeting, which permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees of up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company granted 390,600 shares under the 2020 Plan to twenty officers and employees of the Company on July 12, 2021 and granted 609,400 shares under the 2020 Plan to six officers and employees of the Company on July 12, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there were no shares of stock available for awards under the 2020 Plan. On February 26, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2019 Omnibus Equity Plan (“2019 Plan”) at the special shareholders meeting, which permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees of up to 600,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company granted all 600,000 shares under 2019 Plan to nine officers, employees and director of the Company on December 28, 2020.

All share numbers have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split effected on February 1, 2023.

The Equity Plan’s purpose is to attract and retain high caliber employees, directors, consultants and advisors; motivate participants to achieve long-range goals; provide competitive incentive compensation opportunities, and align the participant’s interests with the interests of the shareholders by offering the participants compensation that is based on our common stock.

The description of the Equity Plan below is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Equity Plan, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. Capitalized terms used in the summary but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Equity Plan.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the Equity Plan on October 12, 2023, subject to shareholders’ approval.

Recommendation of Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has approved and unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the Equity Plan.

Description of the Equity Plan

Administration. The Equity Plan requires that a committee of non-employee directors administer the Equity Plan. Currently, our Compensation Committee, which we refer to in this proposal as the Committee, administers the Equity Plan. Among other powers and duties, the Committee determines the employees who will be eligible to receive awards and establishes the terms and conditions of all awards. Unless prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may delegate its authority and administrative duties under the Equity Plan.

Shares Subject to the Equity Plan. The shares issuable under the Equity Plan are shares of our common stock that are authorized but unissued or reacquired common stock, including shares repurchased by the Company as treasury shares. The total aggregate shares of common stock authorized for issuance during the term of the Equity Plan is limited to 5,000,000 shares. The Committee must equitably adjust awards and the number of shares available under the Equity Plan in the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, split-up, spin-off, reclassification, combination or other exchange of shares.

Types of Awards and Eligibility. The Equity Plan provides for five types of awards. The Eligible Persons under the Equity Plan include Employees, Outside Directors, Consultants and New Hires of the Company or it subsidiaries, as selected by our Board or the designated committee thereof.  As of October 12, 2023, 66 individuals (consisting of 4 executive officers, 3 directors who are not executive officers, and 59 employees who are not executive officers) are eligible to receive awards under the Equity Plan. The closing price of Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market was $1.01 per share as of October 12, 2023.

Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) are options that are intended to qualify as, and that satisfy the requirements applicable to, an “incentive stock option” described in Code § 422(b). NSO shall mean an Option that is not intended to be, or does not qualify as, an Incentive Stock Option and is commonly referred to as a “Non-Statutory Stock Option”.

22

Option Grant: The grant of an Option entitles the Participant to purchase the number of Shares designated in the Award Agreement for such Option at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Options may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. Each Option shall be evidenced by and conditional on an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Committee, which Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or NSO. No ISO may be granted to any person more than ten (10) years after the Effective Date of the Equity Plan. Award Agreements need not be identical, but shall include the terms specified in and be subject to the provisions of the Equity Plan applicable to such Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant), subject to ISOs granted to any Participant under the Equity Plan and any other option plan of the Corporation or any Related Corporation that first become exercisable in any calendar year, including any ISOs which become exercisable on an accelerated basis during such year, exceeds the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), such excess Options shall be treated as NSOs.



Exercise of Options: The Exercise Price shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that the Exercise Price for any Option shall never be less than one hundred percent (100%) (or, in the case of a 10% Stockholder receiving an ISO, 110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the Option grant date. Fair Market Value shall be determined in a manner compliant with Code Section 409A.

Payment of Exercise Price: The exercise price is payable in cash; by tendering shares of our common stock owned by the participant; by withholding shares that would be acquired on exercise; by broker-assisted cashless exercise; or by any other form of legal consideration acceptable by the Committee (so long as it does not result in deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A). Options are subject to the conditions, restrictions and contingencies specified by the Committee.

Option Term: The maximum term of any option is ten years from the date of grant and, with respect to ISOs granted to an individual who owns 10% of the voting power of our stock, the maximum term is five years from the date of grant.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) entitles the Participant to receive, with respect to each Share subject to the SAR, the appreciation in the Fair Market Value over a base price established by the Committee, payable in cash or Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment. Each SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Committee. Award Agreements evidencing SARs need not be identical, but shall include the terms specified below and be subject to the provisions of the Equity Plan applicable to such SARs.



SARs Grant: Each award of SARs will be evidenced by an award agreement that will specify the base price, the term of the SAR, and such other provisions as the Committee determines, and which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Equity Plan (which need not be the same for each award for each recipient).

Base Price of SAR: The base price of each SAR granted under the Equity Plan will be at least equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.

Settlement of SARs: The Participant may exercise the SAR by delivering a written notice of exercise to the Corporation, in the form and manner designated by the Committee. To the extent the Committee determines that the Participant will receive cash upon exercise of a SAR, the Corporation shall deliver the cash amount which becomes due upon exercise of a SAR as soon as administratively practicable after the Corporation’s receipt of the Participant’s properly completed notice of exercise. To the extent the Committee determines that Shares will be delivered to the Participant upon exercise of a SAR, the Shares shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee may establish, except that such conditions may not cause the deferral of recognition of income.

SAR Term: The maximum term of any SAR is ten years from the date of grant.

Unrestricted Stock. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, award unrestricted stock to any participant as a stock bonus or otherwise pursuant to which such participant may receive shares of stock free of restrictions or limitations.

23

Restricted Stock. A Restricted Stock Award is a grant of Shares subject to conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Committee. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards need not be identical, but shall include the terms specified in and be subject to the provisions of the Equity Plan applicable to such Restricted Stock Awards. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be, for the applicable Period of Restriction determined by the Committee, subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. Lapse of restrictions may be conditioned on the continued performance of Services or the achievement of performance conditions measured on an individual, corporate or other basis, or any combination thereof.



Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit Award entitles the Participant to receive Shares upon the vesting of the Award. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Equity Plan, Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms and at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Unit Awards need not be identical, but shall include the terms specified in and be subject to the provisions of the Equity Plan applicable to Restricted Stock Unit Awards. As soon as practicable following the date each Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant the Share underlying such Restricted Stock Unit, subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee may establish.

Performance-Based Compensation. At its discretion, the Committee may make Awards to Participants intended to be the performance-based compensation. In such event, the number of shares becoming exercisable or transferable or amounts payable with respect to grants of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and/or awards of Restricted Stock, Unrestricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be determined based on the attainment of written performance goals based on the performance measures set forth in Article 7 of the Equity Plan and which have been approved by the Committee for a specified performance period. The performance goals shall state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method of computing the amount of compensation payable to the Participant if the goal is attained.

Limitations on Awards. The maximum aggregate cash amount payable under the Equity Plan for any Awards intended to constitute performance-based compensation to any Participant in any single calendar year shall not exceed $1,000,000. Subject to adjustment as provided in Equity Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares (including Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, and RSUs) that may be granted to any Participant in any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 Shares.

Vesting and Forfeiture. The Committee determines the time and conditions under which the award will vest or the period of time after which the restriction shall lapse as part of making an award. Vesting or the lapse of the period of restriction may, in the Committee’s discretion, be based solely upon continued employment or service for a specified period of time, or may be based upon the achievement of specific performance goals (individual, corporation or other basis), or both. Vesting means the time at which an option, SAR or RSU holder may exercise his or her award at the end of the period of restriction that applies to Restricted Stock. Vesting or lapse provisions need not be uniform among awards granted at the same time or to persons similarly-situated. Vesting and lapse requirements will be set forth in the applicable award agreement. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate vesting of any award at any time. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and included in the Participant’s Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant’s Service with the Corporation and all Related Corporations is terminated for any reason, all Awards held by the Participant which are unexercised or have not yet vested as of such date shall expire, terminate, and become unexercisable as of such termination date, provided, however, that if the Participant’s Service terminates for reasons other than Cause, all outstanding vested Options and SARs held by the Participant as of his or her termination date shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of their term or the date that is three months after such termination date.

Extension Exercise Period. The Committee, in its discretion, may extend the period of time for which an Option or SAR is to remain exercisable following a termination of service, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option or SAR.

Prohibition on Repricing. Except as required or permitted pursuant to a corporate transaction (including, without limitation, any recapitalization or reorganization), in no event will an Option or SAR be amended to reduce the exercise or base price or be canceled in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price or base price less than the exercise price of the original Option or base price of the original SAR without shareholder approval.

Limits on Transfers of Awards/Beneficiary Designation. All awards are exercisable only by the participant during the participant’s lifetime, and are transferable only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Committee may permit a transfer of an award, other than an ISO, to a family member of an individual, subject to such restrictions as the Committee may provide. Participants may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive their benefits under the Equity Plan if they die before receiving any or all of such benefit.

24

Recapitalization. Upon a recapitalization, the Committee must adjust the number and kind of shares issuable and maximum limits for each type of award, adjust the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, adjust the exercise or base price of outstanding Options or SARs, and make any other equitable adjustments.

Reorganization. Upon a reorganization, the Committee may decide that awards will apply to securities of the resulting corporation (with appropriate adjustment as determined by the Committee), that any or all outstanding Options and SARs will be immediately exercisable (to the extent permitted under federal or state securities laws) and shall remain exercisable for the remaining term of the Options or SARs under the terms of the Equity Plan, that any or all Options and SARs will be immediately exercisable (to the extent permitted under federal or state securities laws) and shall be terminated after giving at least 30 days’ notice to the Participants to whom such Options or SARs have been granted, and/or that any or all unvested Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock on which restrictions have not yet lapsed shall become immediately fully vested, nonforfeitable and payable.

Amendment and Termination. Our Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Equity Plan, without consent of stockholders or participants, provided, however, that amendments must be submitted to the shareholders for approval if stockholder approval is required by applicable law, and any amendment or termination that may adversely affect the rights of participants with outstanding awards requires the consent of such participants. The Committee may amend any award agreement, provided the amendment is not to re-price or constructively re-price any award.

Term. The Equity Plan is effective immediately upon the adoption by our Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, and will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 10^th anniversary of the Equity Plan’s effective date, or (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan shall have been issued as fully-vested shares. Options may be granted at any time on or after the date the Board of Directors adopt the Equity Plan, however, until the shareholders approve the Equity Plan, no Options or SARs may be exercised, no restricted stock may be issued, and no award may be settled in stock. If shareholder approval is not obtained within 12 months after the adoption by our Board of Directors, all awards will be null and void.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of awards under the Equity Plan is based on current U.S. federal income tax laws and regulations and is designed to provide a general understanding of the consequences as of the date of this proxy statement. Laws and regulations may change in the future and affect the income tax consequences of your award under the Equity Plan. In addition, the impact of the laws and regulations may vary based on your individual circumstances. This summary does not constitute tax advice and does not address taxation of your award under the laws of any municipality, state or foreign country. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor as to the specific tax impact of any award to you.

Incentive Stock Options. An employee participant will generally have no tax consequences when he or she receives the grant of an ISO. In most cases, an employee participant also will not have income tax consequences when he or she exercises an ISO. An employee participant may have income tax consequences when exercising an ISO if the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of the shares of the common stock subject to the ISO that first become exercisable in any one calendar year exceeds $100,000. If this occurs, the excess shares (the number of shares the fair market value of which exceeds $100,000 in the year first exercisable) will be treated as though they are NQSOs instead of ISOs. Additionally, subject to certain exceptions for death or disability, if an employee participant exercises an ISO more than three months after termination of employment, the exercise of the option will be taxed as the exercise of a NQSO. Any shares recharacterized as NQSOs will have the tax consequences described below with respect to the exercise of NQSOs.

An employee participant recognizes income when selling or exchanging the shares acquired from the exercise of an ISO in the amount of the difference between the fair market value at the time of the sale or exchange and the exercise price the participant paid for those shares. This income will be taxed at the applicable capital gains rate if the sale or exchange occurs after the expiration of the requisite holding periods. Generally, the required holding periods expire two years after the date of grant of the ISO and one year after the date the common stock is acquired by the exercise of the ISO. Further, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of the common stock at the time of exercise of the ISO exceeds the exercise price will likely be included in determining a participant’s alternative minimum taxable income and may cause the participant to incur an alternative minimum tax liability in the year of exercise.

25

If an employee participant disposes of the common stock acquired by exercising an ISO before the holding periods expire, the participant will recognize ordinary income. The amount of income will equal the difference between the option exercise price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and (ii) the price at which the shares are sold. This amount will be taxed at ordinary income rates and be subject to employment taxes. If the sale price of the shares is greater than the fair market value on the date of exercise, the participant will recognize the difference as gain and will be taxed at the applicable capital gains rate. If the sale price of the shares is less than the exercise price, the participant will recognize a capital loss equal to the excess of the exercise price over the sale price.

Using shares acquired by exercising an ISO to pay the exercise price of another option (whether or not it is an ISO) will be considered a disposition of the shares for federal tax purposes. If this disposition occurs before the expiration of the required holding periods, the employee option-holder will have the same tax consequences as are described above in the preceding paragraph. If the option holder transfers any of these shares after holding them for the required holding periods or transfers shares acquired by exercising an NQSO or on the open market, he or she generally will not recognize any income upon exercise. Whether or not the transferred shares were acquired by exercising an ISO and regardless of how long the option holder has held those shares, the basis of the new shares received from the exercise will be calculated in two steps. In the first step, a number of new shares equal to the number of older shares tendered (in payment of the option’s exercise) is considered exchanged under Code Section 1036 and the related rulings; these new shares receive the same holding period and the same basis the option holder had in the old tendered shares, if any, plus the amount included in income from the deemed sale of the old shares and the amount of cash or other non-stock consideration paid for the new shares, if any. In the second step, the number of new shares received by the option holder in excess of the old tendered shares receives a basis of zero, and the option holder’s holding period with respect to such shares commences upon exercise.

There will be no tax consequences to Future FinTech when it grants an ISO or, generally, when an employee participant exercises an ISO. However, to the extent that an option holder recognizes ordinary income when he or she exercises, as described above, Future FinTech generally will have a tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A participant generally has no income tax consequences from the grant of NQSOs. Generally, in the tax year when the participant exercises the NQSO, he or she recognizes ordinary income in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the exercise price for the shares, and that amount will be subject to withholding and employment taxes.

If a participant exercises a NQSO by paying the exercise price with previously acquired common stock, he or she will have federal income tax consequences (relative to the new shares received) in two steps. In the first step, a number of new shares equivalent to the number of older shares tendered (in payment of the NQSO exercised) is considered to have been exchanged in accordance with Code Section 1036 and related rulings, and no gain or loss is recognized. In the second step, with respect to the number of new shares acquired in excess of the number of old shares tendered, the participant recognizes income on those new shares equal to their fair market value less any non-stock consideration tendered. The new shares equal to the number of the old shares tendered will have the same basis the participant had in the old shares and the holding period with respect to the tendered older shares will apply to the new shares. The excess new shares received will have a basis equal to the amount of income recognized on exercise, increased by any non-stock consideration tendered. The holding period begins on the exercise of the option.

The gain, if any, realized at the later disposition of the common stock will either be short- or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period.

There will be no tax consequences to Future FinTech when granting a NQSO. Future FinTech generally will have a tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the ordinary income recognized by the participant.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Neither the participant nor Future FinTech has income tax consequences from the issuance of a SAR. The participant recognizes taxable income at the time the SAR is exercised in an amount equal to the amount by which the cash and/or the fair market value of the shares of the common stock received upon that exercise exceeds the base price. The income recognized on exercise of a SAR will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates and be subject to employment taxes. Future FinTech generally will be entitled to a tax deduction with respect to the exercise of a SAR in the same amount and at the same time as the ordinary income recognized by the participant.

26

Restricted Stock. A holder of restricted stock will not recognize income at the time of the award, unless he or she specifically makes an election to do so under Code Section 83(b) within thirty days of such award. Unless the holder has made such an election, he or she will realize ordinary income and be subject to employment taxes in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date the restrictions on the shares lapse, reduced by the amount, if any, he or she paid for such stock. Future FinTech will generally be entitled to a corresponding deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the holder recognizes ordinary income. Upon the otherwise taxable disposition of the shares awarded after ordinary income has been recognized, the holder will realize a capital gain or loss (which will be long-term or short-term depending upon how long the shares are held after the restrictions lapse).

If the holder made a timely election under Code Section 83(b), he or she will recognize ordinary income for the taxable year in which an award of restricted stock is received on an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock awarded for which the election is being made (even if the shares are subject to forfeiture). That income will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates and be subject to employment taxes. At the time of disposition of the shares, if such an election was made, the holder will recognize gain in an amount equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of the award. Such gain will be taxable at the applicable capital gains rate. Future FinTech will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the ordinary income recognized by the participant.

Restricted Stock Units. A holder of RSUs generally will not recognize income at the time of the award. Upon delivery of the shares due upon settlement of an RSU, a holder will realize ordinary income and be subject to employment taxes in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares distributed. Future FinTech will generally be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the holder recognizes income. When the holder later disposes of his or her shares, the difference between the amount realized on sale and the amount recognized by the holder upon settlement of the RSU will be a capital gain or loss (which will be long-term or short-term depending upon how long the shares are held).

Unrestricted Stock. Generally, the participant will, in the year that the unrestricted stock award is granted, recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the award. Future FinTech normally will receive a corresponding deduction equal to the amount of compensation the recipient is required to recognize as ordinary taxable income, and must comply with applicable tax withholding requirements.

Limitation on Company Deductions. No federal income tax deduction is allowed for Future FinTech for any compensation paid to a “covered employee” in any taxable year of Future FinTech to the extent that his or her compensation exceeds $1,000,000. For this purpose, “covered employees” are generally the chief executive officer and principal financial officer of Future FinTech, the three (or for tax years beginning after January 1, 2025, if so required by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, as it may be amended from time to time, and other applicable legally binding guidance, the five) other most highly compensated officers of Future FinTech other than the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer for the taxable year and any “covered employee” of Future FinTech (or any predecessor) for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016, and the term “compensation” generally includes amounts includable in gross income as a result of the exercise of stock options or SARs, payments pursuant to performance shares or units, or the receipt of restricted or unrestricted stock. This deduction limitation, however, does not apply to compensation that is (1) commission-based compensation, (2) performance-based compensation, (3) compensation which would not be includable in an employee’s gross income, and (4) compensation payable under a written binding contract in existence on February 17, 1993, and not materially modified after that date.

Effect of Code Section 280G. Code Section 280G limits the deductibility of certain payments that are contingent upon a change of control if the total amount of such payments equals or exceeds three times the individual’s “base amount” (i.e., generally, annualized five-year W-2 compensation). If payment or settlement of an award is accelerated upon a change of control, a portion of such payment attributable to the value of the acceleration is considered a payment that is contingent upon a change of control. In addition, the affected individual must pay an excise tax (in addition to any income tax) equal to 20% of such amount.

27

Impact of Code Section 409A. Code Section 409A provides that all amounts deferred under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan are includible in a service provider’s gross income to the extent such amounts are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, unless certain requirements are satisfied. If the requirements are not satisfied, in addition to current income inclusion, interest at the underpayment rate plus 1% will be imposed on the service provider’s underpayments that would have occurred had the deferred compensation been includible in gross income for the taxable year in which first deferred or, if later, the first taxable year in which such deferred compensation is not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The amount required to be included in income is also subject to an additional 20% tax. While most awards under the Plan are anticipated to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A, awards not exempt from Code Section 409A are intended to comply with Code Section 409A.

Other Information

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Plan, the individuals that receive awards and the terms and conditions of such awards are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has not yet made any determination as to which eligible employees will receive awards under the Equity Plan in the future, or the value of awards to be made to any eligible individual, and therefore, it is not possible to determine for any persons or groups the benefits or amounts that will be received in the future under the Equity Plan.

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of the Award Agreements by which Awards shall be evidenced (which shall not be inconsistent with the terms of the Plan), and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, all of which determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.

A-1

(b) Appointment of Committee. The Board shall appoint the Committee from among its nonemployee members to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board from time to time may remove members from, or add members to, the Committee and shall fill all vacancies thereon. The Committee at all times shall be composed of two or more nonemployee directors who shall meet all of the following requirements:

(i) Disinterested Administration for Rule 16b-3 Exemption. During the period any director is serving on the Committee, he shall (A) not be an officer of the Corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the Corporation, or otherwise currently employed by the Corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the Corporation; (B) not receive compensation, either directly or indirectly, from the Corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the Corporation for services rendered as a consultant or in any capacity other than as a director, except for an amount that does not exceed the dollar amount for which disclosure would be required pursuant to Rule 404(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (C) not possess an interest in any other transaction for which disclosure would be required pursuant to Rule 404(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (D) not be engaged in a business relationship for which disclosure would be required pursuant to Rule 404(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

To the extent said Rule 16b-3 is modified to reduce or increase the restrictions on who may serve on the Committee, the Plan shall be deemed modified in a similar manner;

(ii) Outside Director. No director serving on the Committee may be a current employee of the Corporation or a former employee of the Corporation (or any corporation affiliated with the Corporation under Code §1504) receiving compensation for prior services (other than benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan) during each taxable year during which the director serves on the Committee. Furthermore, no director serving on the Committee shall be or have ever been an officer of the Corporation (or any Code §1504 affiliated corporation), or shall receive remuneration (directly or indirectly) from such a corporation in any capacity other than as a director.

(iii) Independent Director Rule for Stock Exchange. During the period any director is serving on the Committee, he shall satisfy all requirements to qualify as an independent director for purposes of the rules of the exchange on which the Stock is traded.

The Committee shall also decide the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions and other provisions of the Award. The Committee may grant a single Award or an Award in combination with another Award(s) to a Participant. The Committee may grant an Award as an alternate to or replacement of an existing Award under the Plan or award under any other compensation plan or arrangement of the Corporation or a Related Corporation, including a plan of any entity acquired by the Corporation or a Related Corporation, upon the cancellation of the existing award; provided, that such grant of an alternate or replacement Award may be made only if the alternate or replacement Award does not constitute a repricing of the existing award (as limited by Section 1.5(c) of the Plan). In making Award decisions, the Committee may take into account the nature of services rendered by the individual, the individual’s present and potential contribution to the Corporation’s success and such other factors as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.

A-2

The Committee shall interpret the Plan, establish and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, decide the terms and provisions of any Award Agreements made under the Plan, and determine how to administer the Plan. The Committee also shall decide administrative methods for the exercise of Stock Options. Each Committee decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

(e) Delegation by Committee. Unless prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all or some of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members.

The records of the Corporation and Related Corporations as to an Eligible Person’s or Participant’s employment, termination of employment, performance of Services, termination of Services, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be manifestly incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must, as a condition to the receipt or settlement of any Award hereunder, furnish the Committee with such evidence, data or information as the Committee reasonably considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.

(g) Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification that they have as members of the Board or the Committee, the Corporation shall indemnify the members of the Committee (and any designees of the Committee, as permitted under Paragraph (e)), to the extent permitted by applicable law, against reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees) actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award awarded hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved to the extent required by and in the manner provided by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation relating to indemnification of the members of the Board) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to such matters as to which it is adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee member or members (or their designees) did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

1.4. ELIGIBILITY.

The persons eligible to participate in this Plan (“Eligible Persons”) are as follows:

(a) Employees. Employees (including Employees who are members of the Board and Employees who reside in countries other than the United States), provided that awards of Incentive Stock Options shall only be made to Employees.

(b) Outside Directors. Non-Employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Related Corporation.

(c) Consultants. Other consultants and independent advisors who provide bona-fide services to the Corporation (or any Related Corporation).

(d) New Hires. Persons who have been offered employment by the Corporation or a Related Corporation, provided that such a prospective Employee may not be granted an Incentive Stock Option until he or she becomes an Employee and may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to an Award until such person begins employment with the Corporation or the Related Corporation.



1.5 STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

(a) Shares Available for Issuance.

(i)
Reserve. The Stock issuable under the Plan shall be Shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Stock, including Shares repurchased by the Corporation as treasury shares. The maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be 5,000,000 Shares.

(ii) Share Use. Any Shares granted under the Plan that are forfeited because of the failure to meet an Award contingency or condition shall again be available for issuance pursuant to new Awards granted under the Plan. To the extent any Shares covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary because the Award is forfeited or canceled, such Shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under the Plan. However, should the Exercise Price of an Option under the Plan be paid with Shares or should Shares otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Award under the Plan, then such number of Shares shall be treated for purposes of this Paragraph as having been issued to the holder and shall not be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the above, Shares repurchased by the Company using stock option exercise proceeds and the total number of Shares underlying a SAR granted and exercised under the Plan whether or not a SAR is settled cash or Shares, or a combination thereof, shall not be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

A-3

(iii) Individual Participant Limitations. The maximum aggregate cash amount payable under the Plan for any Awards intended to constitute performance-based compensation to any Participant in any single calendar year shall not exceed $1,000,000. Subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph (b) below, the maximum aggregate number of Shares (including Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, and RSUs) that may be granted to any Participant in any calendar year shall be 1,000,000 Shares.

(b) Adjustment to Shares and Awards.

(i) Recapitalization. If the Corporation is involved in a corporate transaction or any other event which affects the Shares (including, without limitation, any recapitalization, reclassification, reverse or forward stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), then the Committee shall adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards as follows:

(1) The Committee shall take action to adjust the number and kind of Shares that are issuable under the Plan and the maximum limits for each type of grant;

(2) The Committee shall take action to adjust the number and kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards;

(3) The Committee shall take action to adjust the Exercise Price or base price of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; and

(4) The Committee shall make any other equitable adjustments.

Only whole Shares shall be issued in making the above adjustments. Further, the number of Shares available under the Plan or the number of Shares subject to any outstanding Awards shall be the next lower number of Shares, so that fractions are rounded downward. Any adjustment to or assumption of ISOs under this Section shall be made in accordance with Code §424. If the Corporation issues any rights to subscribe for additional Shares pro rata to holders of outstanding Shares of the class or classes of stock then set aside for the Plan, then each Participant shall be entitled to the same rights on the same basis as holders of outstanding Shares with respect to such portion of the Participant’s Award as is exercised on or prior to the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive or exercise such rights.

(ii) Reorganization. If the Corporation is part of any reorganization involving merger, consolidation, acquisition of the Common Stock or acquisition of the assets of the Corporation, the Committee, in its discretion, may decide that:

(1) any or all outstanding Awards shall pertain to and apply, with appropriate adjustment as determined by the Committee, to the securities of the resulting corporation to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to each such Award would have been entitled;

(2) any or all outstanding Options or SARs shall become immediately fully exercisable (to the extent permitted under federal or state securities laws) and shall remain exercisable for the remaining term of the Options or SARs under the terms of the Plan;

(3) any or all Options or SARs shall become immediately fully exercisable (to the extent permitted under federal or state securities laws) and shall be terminated after giving at least 30 days’ notice to the Participants to whom such Options or SARs have been granted; and/or

(4) any or all unvested Restricted Stock Units AND Restricted Stock on which restrictions have not yet lapsed shall become immediately fully vested, nonforfeitable and payable.

A-4

(iii) Limits on Adjustments. Any issuance by the Corporation of stock of any class other than the Stock, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to any Award, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Plan. The grant of Awards under the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or authority of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate or dissolve, or to liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. All adjustments the Committee makes under this Plan shall be conclusive.



(c) No Repricings. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Corporation (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of Shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options or the base price of SARs or to cancel outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or SARs with an Exercise Price or base price that is less than the Exercise Price of the original Options or base price of the original SARs without stockholder approval.

ARTICLE 2

OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

2.1 TERMS.

The grant of an Option entitles the Participant to purchase the number of Shares designated in the Award Agreement for such Option at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Options may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. Each Option shall be evidenced by and conditional on an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Committee, which Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or NSO. No ISO may be granted to any person more than ten (10) years after the Effective Date of the Plan. Award Agreements need not be identical, but shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof, by reference in the Award Agreements, or otherwise) the terms specified below and be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such Options.

To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant), subject to ISOs granted to any Participant under the Plan and any other option plan of the Corporation or any Related Corporation that first become exercisable in any calendar year, including any ISOs which become exercisable on an accelerated basis during such year, exceeds the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), such excess Options shall be treated as NSOs.

2.2 VESTING.

Each Option shall vest and become exercisable at such time or times, during such period, and for such number of Shares as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing the Option; provided that no Option may be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years (or, in the case of an ISO granted to a 10% Stockholder, five (5) years) from the date of grant. Vesting may be conditioned on the continued performance of Services or the achievement of performance conditions measured on an individual, corporate or other basis, or any combination thereof.

2.3 EXERCISE PRICE.

The Exercise Price shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that the Exercise Price for any Option shall never be less than one hundred percent (100%) (or, in the case of a 10% Stockholder receiving an ISO, 110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the Option grant date.

A-5

2.4 METHOD OF EXERCISE.

The Participant may exercise the Option by delivering a written notice of exercise to the Corporation, in the form and manner designated by the Committee. The notice shall be effective only if accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price in full. The Committee shall have the discretion to provide that the Exercise Price may be payable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in one or more of the forms specified below:

(a) Cash/Check. Cash or check made payable to the Corporation;

(b) Shares Owned. By delivery to the Corporation of Shares owned by the Participant (by either actual delivery of Shares or by attestation, with such Shares valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise) with such documentation as the Committee may require or in such other manner as the Committee may require;

(c) Share Withholding. By withholding Shares that would otherwise be acquired on exercise having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the Exercise Price;



(d) Cashless Exercise. By cashless exercise through delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Corporation the amount of proceeds from a sale of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the Exercise Price; and/or

(e) Other Forms. In any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee, so long as it does not result in the deferral of recognition of income or a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code §409A.

2.5 SETTLEMENT OF AWARD.

The Corporation shall deliver Shares as soon as practicable after the Corporation’s receipt of the Participant’s properly completed notice of exercise and payment in full of the Exercise Price as described in Section 2.4. Such Shares shall be subject to such conditions as the Committee may establish, except that such conditions may not cause the deferral of recognition of income.

2.6 CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS.

The Committee shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected Participant, the cancellation of any or all outstanding Options under the Option Grant Program and to grant in substitution new Options covering the same or different number of Shares which might have an Exercise Price per Share no less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the new grant date. The cancellation and grant need not be simultaneous.

ARTICLE 3

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PROGRAM

3.1 TERMS.

A Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) entitles the Participant to receive, with respect to each Share subject to the SAR, the appreciation in the Fair Market Value over a base price established by the Committee (as determined below), payable in cash or Stock, or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of payment. Each SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Committee. Award Agreements evidencing SARs need not be identical, but shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof, by reference in the Award Agreements, or otherwise) the terms specified below and be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such SARs.

3.2 VESTING.

The SAR shall cover a specified number of Shares and shall vest and become exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish; provided that no SAR may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date of grant unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. Vesting may be conditioned on the continued performance of Services or the achievement of performance conditions measured on an individual, corporate or other basis, or any combination thereof.

A-6

3.3 VALUE.

The base price in effect for Shares covered by a SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant. In no event, however, may the base price per Share be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the grant date. The Participant will receive upon exercise of the SAR an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the surrender date over the base price of a Share (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of Shares covered by the SAR Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide at the time it grants a SAR that the Spread covered by such SAR may not exceed a specified amount.

3.4 METHOD OF EXERCISE.

The Participant may exercise the SAR by delivering a written notice of exercise to the Corporation, in the form and manner designated by the Committee.

ARTICLE 8

RULES APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS

8.1 TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and included in the Participant’s Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant’s Service with the Corporation and all Related Corporations is terminated for any reason, all Awards held by the Participant which are unexercised or have not yet vested as of such date shall expire, terminate, and become unexercisable as of such termination date, provided, however, that if the Participant’s Service terminates for reasons other than Cause, all outstanding vested Options and SARs held by the Participant as of his or her termination date shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of their term or the date that is three months after such termination date.

8.2 ACCELERATION OF VESTING.

The Committee shall have complete discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, exercisable either at the time an Award is granted or at any time while the Award remains outstanding, to accelerate the vesting of or lapse of restrictions on any Award.

8.3 EXTENSION OF EXERCISE PERIOD.

The Committee shall have complete discretion, subject to the terms of the Plan, exercisable either at the time an Award is granted or at any time while the Award remains outstanding, to extend the period of time for which the Option or SAR is to remain exercisable following the Participant’s termination of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that Option or SAR to such greater period of time as the Committee shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the Option or SAR term, and/or to permit the Option or SAR to be exercised, during the applicable post-termination exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested Shares for which such Option or SAR is exercisable at the time of the Participant’s termination of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the Participant would have vested had the Participant continued in Service. Such an extension may result in recharacterization of an ISO as a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

A-9

8.4 TRANSFERABILITY.

All rights with respect to an Award granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant, except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Committee shall have the discretion to provide that an Award other than an ISO may, in connection with the Participant’s estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during the Participant’s lifetime to a trust established exclusively for one or more members of the Participant’s immediate family. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the Award immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Committee may deem appropriate. Any assignment shall not affect the Participant’s obligations to satisfy applicable tax withholding as described herein. The Participant may also designate in writing one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding Awards, and those Awards shall, except to the extent that any lifetime transfer as provided herein, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Participant’s death while holding those Awards. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Corporation, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Corporation during the Participant’s lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits under an Award remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate. A beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred Awards subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which any Award may be exercised following the Participant’s death.



8.5 STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.

Except as otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement, the Participant (or his or her beneficiaries) holding an Award shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the Shares subject to the Award until he or she has received and become a holder of record of the Shares underlying the Award or, in the case of Restricted Stock, all restrictions have lapsed.

8.6 TAX WITHHOLDING.

(a) Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Corporation’s obligation to deliver Shares under the Plan shall, to the extent required by Federal, state, local or foreign law, be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, the making of arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation regarding such payment). Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made in cash, such payments may be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements.

(b) Tender of Shares. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide any or all Participants granted Non-Statutory Stock Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Unrestricted Stock, or RSUs settled in Stock under the Plan with the right to use Shares in satisfaction of all or part of the applicable withholding taxes to which such Participants may become subject in connection with the exercise of their Options or SARs, the vesting of their Restricted Stock, or the settlement of their Restricted Stock Units or other Awards in Stock. Such right may be provided to any such Participant in either or both of the following formats:

(i) The election to have the Corporation withhold, from the Shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the NSO or SAR, the vesting of the Restricted Stock, or the settlement of Restricted Stock Units or other Awards in Stock, a portion of those Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the applicable withholding taxes (not to exceed the minimum required by law) designated by the Participant.

(ii) The election to deliver to the Corporation, at the time the NSO or SAR is exercised, the Restricted Stock vests, or the Restricted Stock Units or other Awards are settled in Stock, one or more Shares previously acquired by such Participant (other than in connection with the Option or SAR exercise, Restricted Stock vesting or Restricted Stock Units or other Awards in Stock settlement triggering the withholding taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the withholding taxes (not to exceed the minimum required by law) designated by the Participant.

A-13

10.2 AMENDMENT OF PLAN.

(a) Amendment and Termination By the Board. Subject to Paragraph (b) below, the Board shall have the power at any time to add to, amend, modify or repeal any of the provisions of the Plan, to suspend the operation of the entire Plan or any of its provisions for any period or to terminate the Plan in whole or in part. In the event of any such action, the Committee shall prepare written procedures which, when approved by the Board, shall govern the administration of the Plan resulting from such addition, amendment, modification, repeal, suspension or termination. The Committee may amend any Award Agreement that it previously has authorized under the Plan and the applicable Participant; provided, however, that no Award Agreement may be amended to reprice or constructively reprice any Award.



(b) Restrictions on Amendment and Termination. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (a) above, the following restrictions shall apply to the Board’s authority under Paragraph (a) above:

(i) Prohibition Against Adverse Effects on Outstanding Awards. No addition, amendment, modification, repeal, suspension or termination shall adversely affect, in any way, the rights of the Participants who have outstanding Awards without the consent of such Participants;

(ii) Stockholder Approval Required for Certain Modifications. No modification or amendment of the Plan may be made without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company if (i) such modification or amendment would cause the applicable portions of the Plan to fail to qualify as an ISO plan pursuant to Code §422, (ii) such modification or amendment would materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan, (iii) such modification or amendment would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan, or (iv) such modification or amendment would materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan. Clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b)(2) of Rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act. Stockholder approval shall be made by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held meeting at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting, or by the written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock or such greater number of shares of voting stock as may be required by the Company’s articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws and by applicable law; provided, however, that for modifications described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, such stockholder approval, whether by vote or by written consent in lieu of a meeting, must be solicited substantially in accordance with the rules and regulations in effect under Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act as required by paragraph (b)(2) of Rule 16b-3 of the 1934 Act.

10.3 CONTINUING SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE; LEGENDS.

The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. If at any time on or after the Effective Date, the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine that the requirements of any applicable federal or state securities laws should fail to be met, no Shares issuable under Awards and no Options or SARs shall be exercisable until the Committee has determined that these requirements have again been met. The Committee may suspend the right to exercise an Options or SAR at any time when it determines that allowing the exercise and issuance of Shares would violate any federal or state securities or other laws, and may provide that any time periods to exercise the Option or SAR are extended during a period of suspension. With respect to “Insiders,” transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. Each Award Agreement and each certificate representing securities granted pursuant to the Plan (including securities issuable pursuant to the terms of derivative securities) may bear such restrictive legend(s) as the Corporation deems necessary or advisable under applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. If any Award is made to a Participant who is subject to the Corporation’s policy regarding trading of its Stock by its officers and directors and Shares are scheduled to be delivered under the Plan to the Participant on a day (the “original distribution date”) that does not occur during a “window period” applicable to the Participant, as determined by the Corporation in accordance with such policy, then the Corporation can choose not to deliver such Shares on such original distribution date and instead to deliver such Shares on the first day of the next “window period” applicable to the Participant pursuant to such policy, but in no event later than the March 15 following the close of the calendar year in which such Shares were no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Code §409A).

10.4 LIQUIDATION OF THE CORPORATION.

In the event of the complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation, any outstanding Awards granted under this Plan shall be deemed automatically canceled without any action on the part of the Corporation and without regard to or limitation by any other provision of the Plan.



10.5 NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS.

Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Related Corporation employing or retaining such person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

10.6 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.

For all purposes of this Plan, except as otherwise expressly provided:

(a) all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;

(b) all references in this Plan to designated “Articles,” “Sections” and other subdivisions are to the designated Articles, Sections and other subdivisions of the body of this Plan except to the extent identified as references to sections or subsections of the Code;

(c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Plan as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision;

(e) whenever this Plan refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless business days are expressly specified;

(f) a reference to any legislation or to any provision of any legislation shall include such legislation, as amended through the date hereof, and all subsequent amendments or modification thereto or re-enactment thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor and all regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto; and

(g) except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

10.7 UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Corporation, nothing set forth herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Corporation. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Stock or a payment in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder, provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

A-15

10.8 AWARDS TO PARTICIPANTS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held by a Participant who is then resident or primarily employed outside the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that the Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States. Such authorization shall extend to and include establishing one or more separate sub-plans which include provisions not inconsistent with the Plan that comply with statutory or regulatory requirements imposed by the foreign country or countries in which the Participant resides.



10.9 SEVERABILITY.

In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

10.10 GOVERNING LAW.

To the extent not preempted by United States Federal law, the Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
