Farmmi, Inc. Announces Completion of $7.5 Million Private Placement

LISHUI, China, Nov. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Farmmi, Inc. (NASDAQ CM: FAMI) ( the "Company"), an agriculture products supplier in China, is pleased to announce the completion of a $7.5 million private placement to one institutional investor on November 1, 2018. FT Global Capital, Inc. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the transaction. 

The securities sold by the Company in the private placement consisted of (a) senior convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $7,500,000 (the "Notes") which are initially convertible into an aggregate of 1,198,084 of the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") at the rate of $6.26 per share ("Conversion Price") and (b) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $6.53 per share (the "Warrants"). The Notes mature in seventeen months and carry an interest rate of 10% per year.

The Warrants are exercisable by the holder thereof at any time on or after November 1, 2018 and before November 1, 2022. One year from the date of issuance of the Warrants, the Exercise Price of the Warrants will be lowered to the then-current Market Price (as such term is defined in the Notes) of an Ordinary Share, if such Market Price is less than the initial Exercise Price of $6.53 per Ordinary Share.

The Company has agreed to register for resale the Ordinary Shares underlying the Notes and the Warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration"). 

For a more complete description of the private placement offering, please see the Company's Current Report on Form 6-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
