A: Each share of the Common Stock, par value $0.0001, issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be voted upon at the Special Meeting.

You may vote all shares owned by you as of the Record Date, including (a) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (b) shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, trustee, or other nominee. We had [ ] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date.

We have enclosed a proxy card for you to grant your voting proxy to Mr. Ou.

Table of Contents

Shares Beneficially Held in Street Name

You are the beneficial owner of any of your shares held in street name. With respect to such shares registered through a broker, these proxy materials, together with a voting instruction card, are being forwarded to you by your broker. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker how to vote. You may use the voting instruction card provided by your broker for this purpose. Even if you have directed your broker how to vote, you may also attend the Special Meeting. However, you may not vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” or other evidence from your broker giving you the right to vote the shares at the Special Meeting.

Q: Who is entitled to attend the Special Meeting and what are the admission procedures?

A: You are entitled to attend the Special Meeting only if you were a stockholder as of the close of business on the Record Date or if you hold a valid proxy for the Special Meeting. A list of stockholders eligible to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for inspection at the Special Meeting. If you are a beneficial holder, you will need to provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as a brokerage account statement showing that you owned shares of the Common Stock as of the Record Date or the voting instruction card provided by your broker. The Special Meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 am ET. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. Check-in will begin one-half hour prior to the meeting. Please allow ample time for the admission procedures.

Q: May I vote my shares in person at the Special Meeting?

A: If you were a stockholder of record on the Record Date, you may vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting or through a proxy. If you decide to vote your shares in person, you do not need to present your share certificate(s) at the Special Meeting; your name will be on the list of stockholders eligible to vote. If you hold your shares beneficially in street name, you may vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy or other evidence from your broker giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting.

Q: How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?

A: Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by submitting a proxy. If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker. For directions on how to vote, please refer to the instructions on your proxy card or, for shares held beneficially in street name, the voting instruction card provided by your broker.

Stockholders of record may submit proxies by completing, signing, dating, and mailing their proxy cards to the address provided on the proxy card. Stockholders who hold shares beneficially in street name may vote by completing, signing, and dating the voting instruction cards provided and mailing them to the address provided on the voting instruction card. The proxy card and voting instruction card also include directions as to how you may submit your vote through the Internet. The voting instruction card may also include directions for alternative methods of submitting your vote. We encourage you to vote early. If you choose to vote by mail, please allow sufficient time for your proxy or voting instruction card to reach our vote tabulator prior to the Special Meeting.

Q: Who will count the votes?

A: Votes at the Special Meeting will be counted by an inspector of election who will be appointed by the Board.

Table of Contents

Q: What is the effect of not voting?

A: If you are a stockholder of record and you do not cast your vote, no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the items of business at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you properly sign and return your proxy card, your shares will be voted as you direct. If no instructions are indicated on such proxy card and you are a stockholder of record, shares represented by the proxy will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement, namely “FOR” the approval of Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment; and “FOR” the Director and Executive Officer Confirmation, the Securities Issuance Ratification, the Nasdaq Uplisting Initiative, the Business Expansion Initiative, and the Internal Audit.

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in street name for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (a) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (b) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares.

A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters. Absent instructions from a beneficial owner, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for such beneficial owner on non-routine matters. We believe that the all the proposals of the Special Meeting are non-routine matters, and accordingly, brokers do not have authority to vote on such matters absent instructions from beneficial owners. Accordingly, if beneficial owners desire not to have their shares voted by a broker in a certain manner, they should give instructions to their brokers as to how to vote their shares. Any adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of Proposals One through Six, and any other matter that may properly be brought before the stockholders for a vote at the Special Meeting, will be approved if the votes cast “FOR” exceed the votes cast “AGAINST.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the votes on these matters.

Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Q: How many votes are required for the approval of the proposals to be voted upon, and how will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?

Proposal	Votes Required	Effect of Votes Withheld/Abstentions	Effect of Broker Non-Votes
Proposal One: Approval of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment	Affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.	Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.	We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.
Proposal Two: Director and Executive Officer Confirmation	N/A	Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.	We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.
Proposal Three: Securities Issuance Ratification	N/A	Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.	We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.
Proposal Four: Nasdaq Uplisting Initiative	N/A	Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.	We do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal.

Q: Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote after I have voted?

A: You may revoke your proxy and change your vote by voting again or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. Only your latest dated proxy card received at or prior to the Special Meeting will be counted. However, your attendance at the Special Meeting will not have the effect of revoking your proxy unless you forward written notice to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s offices, or you vote by ballot at the Special Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner, you will need to request a legal proxy from your broker and bring it with you to vote at the Special Meeting.

Q: How many votes are required to hold the Special Meeting?

A: The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date is necessary to hold the Special Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered as present at the Special Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Q: Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Special Meeting?

A: The Company is making this solicitation and will pay the entire cost of preparing, printing, assembling, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials. In addition to the use of the mailed proxies, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, electronic mail, and facsimile by directors, officers, and regular employees of the Company. None of the Company’s directors, officers, or employees will receive any additional compensation for soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board. The Company may also arrange with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for the forwarding of soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Common Stock held of record by those owners. The Company will reimburse those brokers, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with that service.

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?

A: We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting and will disclose final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the SEC not more than four business days following the Special Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO increase THE number of authorized shares of
THE common stock

The Company is asking stockholders to adopt and approve the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment to effect the Authorized Share Increase. Pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation currently in effect, the Company has authorized capital stock of 101,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares shall be the Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares shall be preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Currently, 96,273,437.000 shares of the Common Stock and 3,000 shares of the Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. As a result, the Company has available only 3,726,562 shares of the Common Stock available for future issuance.

The Board believes the increase in shares of the Common Stock available for future issuance is in the best interest of the Company. It will provide the Company with sufficient shares for future issuances of securities to fund the operations and growth of the Company and will also provide the Company with greater flexibility to respond quickly to advantageous business opportunities since we may from time to time explore opportunities to make acquisitions through the use of stock. In order to have sufficient shares to issue for future transactions, the Company proposes to adopt an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock to 1,000,000,000 shares. The par value of the Common Stock will continue to be $0.0001 per share.

The Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment and recommends that our stockholders adopt and approve the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment. The foregoing description of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment is a summary and is subject to the full text of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. The text of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment may be altered to reflect any changes required by applicable law or otherwise deemed necessary or advisable by the Board.

If the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment is approved by our stockholders, it will become effective immediately upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of State of Delaware, which we expect to file promptly after the Special Meeting. No further action on the part of stockholders will be required to implement the Authorized Share Increase. If the proposed amendment is not approved by our stockholders, the authorized shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE proposed authorized share increase amendment

PROPOSAL TWO — Director and EXECUTIVE OFFICER Confirmation

The Board is asking the stockholders to confirm, on a non-binding advisory basis, the composition of the Board and the appointment of the executive officers of the Company. Although a stockholders’ vote is not required for the confirmation of directors or the appointment of officers and this advisory vote is not binding on our Board, the Board has determined to offer our stockholders an opportunity to express their opinions on these material matters.

Current Directors and Board Committees of the Company

On January 12, 2021, Mr. Zhou, together with a group of stockholders whose combined holdings constituted a majority of the Company’s voting rights, delivered a written consent (the “Written Consent”) to the Company’s principal place of business in a process which is consistent with the Company’s governing documents and the applicable Delaware law.

The Nominating Committee reviews the composition of the Board in light of the Company’s changing requirements, its assessment of the Board’s performance, and the inputs of stockholders and other key constituencies.

While the Nominating Committee has not adopted specific minimum criteria for director nominees, the Committee intends to look for certain characteristics common to all Board members, including integrity, strong professional reputation and record of achievement, constructive and collegial personal attributes, and the ability and commitment to devote sufficient time and energy to Board service.

In addition, the Nominating Committee intends to include on the Board a complementary mix of individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills that can help the Board to meet the broad set of challenges that it confronts. These individual qualities can include matters like experience in the Company’s industry, technical experience (for example, financial or technological expertise), experience gained in situations comparable to the Company’s, leadership experience, and relevant geographical experience. The Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees.

The Nominating Committee’s charter is available In the Company Governance Documents section of the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at: www.ifreshmarkets.com.

PROPOSAL three — Securities Issuance RATIFICATION

The Board is providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the issuance of the Common Stock. Although a stockholders’ vote is not required for this issuance and this advisory vote is not binding on our Board, the Board has determined to offer our stockholders an opportunity to express their opinions on this material matter.

Background

On July 20, 2022, upon the approval of the Board, the Company agreed to issue Sixty Million (60,000,000) shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) to Mr. Zhou as partial reimbursement of legal fees advanced by him in connection with the Delaware Action, where the composition of the Board was confirmed by the Court. The Shares were valued at $1.2 million based on the Company’s stock price of $0.02 on the date of issuance. Mr. Zhou designated his daughter, Ms. Zhou, who is the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, to receive the Shares.

Reasons for Transaction and Effect on Current Stockholders

Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the board of directors of a Delaware corporation have the power and authority to approve the issuance of securities. Stockholders’ approval is not required for the issuance of securities under the Delaware law.

The Board has determined that the Delaware Action was for the benefit of the Company. Therefore, legal expenses incurred in defending the validity of the Written Consent in the Delaware Action should be the Company’s expenses and therefore be borne by the Company. The legal fees advanced by Mr. Zhou in defending the validity of the Written Consent in the Delaware Action should be reimbursed by the Company. However, since the Company was experiencing financial distress and in dire need for cash, the Company was not able to reimburse Mr. Zhou. The Board resorted to an alternative solution and agreed to reimburse Mr. Zhou by issuing shares of the Common Stock to him. The Company had about 60 million shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, which were valued at $1.2 million based on a stock price of $0.02 per share. Mr. Zhou agreed to accept the Shares as partial reimbursement for the funds he advanced and designated his daughter, Ms. Zhou, to receive the Shares. The Board acknowledged that the total value of the Shares would not be sufficient to cover the aggregate amount of legal fees that had been advanced and will continue to be advanced by Mr. Zhou in connection with the Delaware Action, which is ongoing as of the date of this proxy statement, and will continue to assess alternatives to reimburse him in full.

The Shares, as issued, have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders, including the voting power and economic rights of such stockholders. Before the issuance of the Shares, there were 36,273,437 shares of the Common Stock outstanding. The issuance of the Shares brought the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock to 96,273,437 shares. Based on the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement, the Shares represent 62.3% of the Common Stock outstanding post issuance. Accordingly, Ms. Zhou will have the ability to exercise a significant influence over our business and affairs and generally have the power to determine all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders where our shares vote together as a single class, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Ms. Zhou may make decisions regarding our Company and our business that are opposed to other stockholders’ interests or with which other stockholders’ may disagree. Ms. Zhou’s voting power could have the effect of deterring or preventing a change in control of our Company that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders. The Company has no obligation to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the Shares. Our Board has unanimously approved the issuance of the Shares.

The Board is asking the stockholders to ratify, on a non-binding advisory basis, the issuance of the Shares to Mr. Zhou’s designee, Ms. Zhou. To show our stockholders’ opinions on this material matter more clearly, when we disclose final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the SEC following the Special Meeting, we plan to report the voting results with respect to this proposal (1) with Ms. Zhou’s votes, and (2) without Ms. Zhou’s votes as if the Shares had not been issued.

PROPOSAL four — NASDAQ Uplisting Initiative

The Board is providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the Nasdaq Uplisting Initiative. Although a stockholders’ vote is not required for this initiative and this advisory vote is not binding on our Board, the Board has determined to offer our stockholders an opportunity to express their opinions on this material matter.

Background

On January 25, 2022, the Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the SEC to effect the formal delisting of the Company’s Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market, whereby the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock became effective ten days after the Form 25 was filed with the SEC (the “Nasdaq Delisting”). After the Nasdaq Delisting, the trading of the Company’s Common Stock continued on the OTC Expert Market (“OTC”) under the ticker “IFMK.”

We believe that the delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market negatively impacted us because it: (i) reduced the liquidity and market price of the Common Stock; (ii) reduced the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; and (iii) limited our ability offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets. At the date of this proxy statement, the Common Stock is traded at $0.02 per share.

Stocks traded on OTC do not generally have significant trading volume OTC stocks have less liquidity due to the low trading volume which leads to delays in finalizing trades and wide bid-ask spreads. Less regulation leads to less available public information, the chance of outdated information, and the possibility of fraud. OTC stocks are also prone to make volatile moves on the release of market and economic data. Most financial advisors consider trading in OTC shares as a speculative undertaking.

We believe that an uplisting to the Nasdaq may provide us and our stockholders with potential benefits, such as improved marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock and increased interest and trading in the Common Stock. Due to the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers.

Therefore, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders that the Common Stock be uplisted to the Nasdaq. The Board is asking the stockholders to grant, on a non-binding advisory basis, a discretionary authority to the Board to take all necessary actions as the Board, in its judgment, may deem necessary, appropriate or advisable in order to cause the Common Stock to be uplisted to the Nasdaq. There can be no assurance given that the Company will succeed in uplisting its shares.

PROPOSAL five — Business Expansion Initiative

The Board is providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the Business Expansion Initiative. Although a stockholders’ vote is not required for this initiative and this advisory vote is not binding on our Board, the Board has determined to offer our stockholders an opportunity to express their opinions on this material matter.

Reasons and Considerations

The Company currently owns and operates an Asian/Chinese supermarket chain with multiple retail locations and its own distribution operations, currently all located along the East Coast of the United States. The Company offers seafood, vegetables, meat, fruit, frozen goods, groceries, and bakery products through its retail stores.

The Company owns Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (“RET”), and Xiamen DL Medical Technology Co, Ltd. (“DL Medical”), located in China. RET is engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling rice liquor products and herbal rice wine products in the People’s Republic of China. DL Medical’s core business includes engineering and technical research and experimental development in and production of medical protective masks, non-medical protective masks, and cotton spinning processing. The Company also owns Jiuxiang Blue Sky Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxiang”) located in China. Jiuxiang specializes in providing supply chain services that satisfy customer demands for daily necessities, green products, and services.

The Board believes the Company’s grocery store chain business has great growth potential, including geographical growth. With the fast development of the Asian/Chinese communities in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, demands for Asian/Chinese groceries have increased tremendously. We believe that with the Company’s established brand and operation model, expanding the grocery store chain business into these countries and regions, will benefit the Company and its stockholders.

Therefore, the Board is seeking the stockholders’ confirmation, on a non-binding advisory basis, of its plan to grow the grocery store business and expand the Company’s business to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

PROPOSAL SIX — confirmation of Internal audit

The Board is providing our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on conducting an internal audit. Although a stockholders’ vote is not required for this action and this advisory vote is not binding on our Board, the Board has determined to offer our stockholders an opportunity to express their opinions on this material matter.

Reasons and Considerations

The Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders that the Internal Audit be conducted concerning the Company’s operations and with respect to the financial data and books and records turned over by the departed directors, officers, and employees. While making such a determination, the Board considered the following factors:

1. As part of the Delaware Action, the Court has ordered the Company’s former Chairman of the Board and CEO, Mr. Deng, to return all the Company’s property and information to the Company. The handover has not been made and a motion to hold Mr. Deng in contempt of the court order is currently pending (the “Contempt Motion”).

2. In the Nasdaq Delisting decision, the Nasdaq considered, among other things, two continued listing delinquencies, including the failure to file quarterly and annual reports with the SEC since February 2021.

3. On May 31, 2022, the SEC charged the Company with repeatedly filing materially inaccurate financial statements that failed to fully disclose related party transactions connected to its former CEO, Mr. Deng. The SEC also charged Deng for his alleged misconduct related to the scheme. The SEC seeks a permanent injunction against the Company and Mr. Deng, disgorgement with prejudgment interest, and a civil penalty. The SEC also seeks an officer and director bar against Mr. Deng.

The Contempt Motion, the Nasdaq Delisting, and the SEC action indicate serious issues with the Company’s internal control, financial data integrity, and related party transactions. Therefore, the Board determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders that the Internal Audit be conducted. The Board will review and assess the results of the Internal Audit and take all necessary actions to protect the rights and interests of the Company and its stockholders.
