Item
3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The
Board of Directors of Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) has approved a reverse stock split
of the Company’s authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
Reason
for the Reverse Stock Split
The
Reverse Stock Split is being effected solely to enable the Company to expeditiously meet the initial listing standards of the NASDAQ
Stock Market in connection with the Company’s application to list the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As of the date
of this report, the Common Stock is quoted for trading on the OTC Pink Open Market and has not been approved for listing on the NASDAQ
Capital Market or any other securities exchange, and any such listing may never occur.
Effects
of the Reverse Stock Split
Effective
Date; Symbol; CUSIP Number. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective with FINRA and in the marketplace on October 21, 2021 (the
“Effective Date”), at which time the Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis. On the Effective Date, the
trading symbol for the Common Stock will change to “FVTID” for a period of 20 business days, after which the final “D”
will be removed from the Company’s trading symbol, which will revert to the original symbol of “FVTI”. In connection
with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for the Common Stock will change to 34970E203.
Split
Adjustment; Treatment of Fractional Shares. On the Effective Date, the total number of shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder
of the Company will be converted automatically into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 20, with such
resulting number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company will issue one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split
Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result,
no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection
with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split.
Non-Certificated
Shares; Certificated Shares. Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not have to take
any action, as the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts.
Stockholders
holding paper certificates may (but are not required to) send the certificates to the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, Transhare
Corporation, at the address given below. The transfer agent will issue a new share certificate reflecting the Reverse Stock Split to
each requesting stockholder.

Nevada
State Filing. The Reverse Stock Split was effected by the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Change (the “Certificate”)
with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2021, in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”)
Section 78.209. The Certificate will become effective on the Effective Date. Under Nevada law, no amendment to the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation is required in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1
and incorporated herein by reference.
No
Stockholder Approval Required. Under Nevada law, because the Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
in accordance with NRS Section 78.207, no shareholder approval was required. NRS Section 78.207 provides that the Company may effect
the Reverse Stock Split without shareholder approval if (x) both the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of outstanding
shares of common stock are proportionally reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split; (y) the Reverse Stock Split does not adversely
affect any other class of stock of the Company; and (z) the Company does not pay money or issue scrip to shareholders who would otherwise
be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As described herein, the Reverse Stock Split complies
with these requirements.
Capitalization.
Prior to the Effective Date, the Company was authorized to issue 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock
Split, the Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock were
reduced in the same ratio (1-for-20) as its outstanding Common Stock is reduced). Immediately prior to the Effective Date, there were
313,098,220 shares of Common Stock outstanding. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, there will be 15,654,911 shares of Common
Stock outstanding (subject to adjustment due to the treatment of fractional shares). The Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the
stated par value of the Common Stock.
Immediately
after the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will
remain unchanged as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from the treatment
of fractional shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of Common Stock will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse
Stock Split.
