Shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon proposals to (i) re-elect the Current Director Nominees to the Board to serve one-year terms, (ii) ratify the selection of S&E as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, (iii) approve an increase in the shares authorized under the company’s Equity Incentive Plan; and (v) transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

In this proxy statement, we refer to ABVC BioPharma, Inc. as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our.”

Who can vote at this Meeting?

Shareholders who owned shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) on January 26, 2026 (the “Record Date”), may attend and vote at this Meeting. There were 25,423,654 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of Common Stock shall have one vote per share. Information about the stockholdings of our directors, executive officers and significant Shareholders is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 14 of this proxy statement.

What is the proxy card?

The card enables you to appoint Uttam Patil as your representative at this Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing these persons to vote your shares at this Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend this Meeting. Even if you plan to attend this Meeting, it is strongly recommended to complete and return your proxy card before 11:59 p.m. EST on March 8, 2026, in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at this Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the Director Nominees listed in proposal No. 1 and “FOR” each of the other proposals.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Certain of our Shareholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholder of Record/Registered Shareholders

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Vstock Transfer, you are a “Shareholder of record”, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the Shareholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date, and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of 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 for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the Shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement.

How do I vote?

If you were a stockholder of record of the Common Stock on the Record Date, you may vote in any of the methods described below. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on the applicable proposals.

You may vote in one of three ways:

●	Over the Internet

If your shares are registered in your name: Vote your shares over the Internet by accessing the proxy online voting website at: www.proxyvote.com and following the on-screen instructions. You will need the control numbers that appear on your proxy card when you access the web page.

If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee: Vote your shares over the Internet by following the voting instructions that you receive from such broker, bank or other nominee.

●	By Telephone

If your shares are registered in your name: Vote your shares over the telephone by accessing the telephone voting system toll-free at 1-800-690-6903 in the United States and from foreign countries using any touch-tone telephone and following the telephone voting instructions. The telephone instructions will lead you through the voting process. You will need the Company number, account and control numbers that appear on your proxy card.

●	By Mail

Vote by signing and dating the proxy card(s) and returning the card(s) in the prepaid envelope.

If we receive your proxy card prior to this Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

as you instruct; and

ii.

according to the best judgment of the appointed Proxy if a proposal comes up for a vote at this Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

If you return a signed card, but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR each of the four proposals included in this Proxy Statement and according to the best judgment of Dr. Patil if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete, and sign your proxy card. Then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible, but prior to 11:59 p.m. EST on March 8, 2026, so your shares may be represented at the Meeting. There will not be any voting at the Meeting.

May I change my mind after I return my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at this Meeting. You may do this by:

●

sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s executive offices stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date; or

●

signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Secretary before the polls close at this Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the Shareholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each director and proposal presented to the Shareholders.

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted.

How many votes are required to elect the Director Nominees as directors of the Company?

The election of directors is based on a plurality of the votes represented at the Meeting or by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

How many votes are required to ratify S&E as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for year ending December 31, 2026?

The proposal to ratify the appointment of S&E to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026 shall be approved if the votes cast favoring the Proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the Proposal.

How many votes are required to approve the Plan Proposal?

The Plan Proposal shall be approved if the votes cast favoring the Plan Proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the Plan Proposal.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying Shareholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed, except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

Where do I find the voting results of this Meeting?

We will announce voting results at this Meeting and also file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting the voting results.

Date, Time and Place of the Meeting

The Meeting will be held virtually on March 9, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST, or such other date, time, and place to which the Meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Purpose of the Meeting

At the Meeting, the Company will ask Shareholders to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

To re-elect the Current Director Nominees to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until the next annual shareholders meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

To ratify the selection of S&E as our independent registered public accounting firm for year ending December 31, 2026;

To transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Record Date and Voting Power

Our Board fixed the close of business on January 26, 2026, as the record date for the determination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to notice of, and to vote on, the matters presented at this Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 25,423,654 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. Accordingly, a total of 25,423,654 votes may be cast at this Meeting.

Quorum and Required Vote

A quorum of Shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of at least 33.3% of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e. shares held by brokers on behalf of their customers, which may not be voted on certain matters because the brokers have not received specific voting instructions from their customers with respect to such matters) will be counted solely for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

Proposal No. 1 shall be decided by a plurality of the shares of common stock represented at the Meeting or by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors. Each other proposal will be approved if the votes cast favoring the proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked by the shareholder of record giving it at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by sending to our secretary, at ABVC BioPharma, Inc., 44370 Old Warm Springs Blvd., Fremont, CA 94538, USA, either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy or (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares.

If the shares are held by the broker or bank as a nominee or agent, the beneficial owners should follow the instructions provided by their broker or bank.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

The cost of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to this Meeting, will be borne by the Company. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding shares of Common Stock is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly. The solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram and personal solicitation by officers, directors, and other employees of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid to such individuals.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

The Nasdaq Rules require that a majority of the Board be independent. The Board consists of 11 directors, of which nine are non-management directors. Each year the Board reviews the materiality of any relationship that each of our directors has with the Company, either directly or indirectly. No member of the Board has any relationship or arrangement that would require disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. For additional information see “Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions” in this report. Based on this review, the Board has determined that the following current directors are “independent directors” as defined by the Nasdaq Rules: Yoshinobu Odaira, Yu-Min (Francis) Chung, Norimi Sakamoto, Yen-Hsin Chou, and Hsin-Hui Miao.

Each director who is a member of the Audit and Finance Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is an independent director.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Mr. Yoshinobu Odaira (Chair), Ms. Miao, Hsin-Hui, and Ms. Hsu, Che-Wei, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The corporate governance and nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

	●	should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education, or public service;

	●	should possess the requisite intelligence, education, and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

	●	should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

The corporate governance and nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

We have two separate individuals serving as our CEO and Chairman. Our Board of Directors, or the Board, is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes on behalf of our company. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. In addition, the Board focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

Additionally, each of the Company and BioFirst are eligible to receive royalties of 5% of net Sales.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 - TO APPROVE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SHARES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE COMPANY’S STOCK OPTION PLAN

Purpose

The Board is seeking the approval of our stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was adopted by our Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval (the “Amendment”).

In February 2015, we adopted the Plan and amended it on September 12, 2020, and April 16, 2024. Pursuant to the last amendment, the number of shares available for granting awards under the Plan was (i) increased to 2,808,979, which represented approximately 17.4% of the then-current number of shares issued and outstanding and (ii) as of January 1 of each year, commencing with the year 2026 and ending with the year that the additional number of shares equals 15% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the December 31 of the previous year, the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan shall automatically increase by a number of Shares equal to 5% of the total number of Shares issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31 (the “Evergreen Provision”). For the reasons explained below, the Company seeks to amend the Plan to provide for a one-time increase in the number of shares available under the Plan, effective as of the date of the Meeting, by such number of shares as is necessary so that, immediately following such increase, the aggregate number of shares reserved under the Plan equals fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of the Meeting (the “2026 Amendment”). The Evergreen Provision shall remain in effect and operate independently commencing January 1, 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, the fifteen percent (15%) increase is a one-time adjustment applicable solely to the current year, and following such adjustment, the number of Shares available under the Plan shall be subject only to the 5% annual Evergreen Provision.

There are 25,423,654 shares issued and outstanding as of January 26, 2026, 15% of which equals 3,813,548 shares. We therefore estimate, based on the shares outstanding as of the Record Date, that the Amendment would increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan to 3,813,548. In 2027 and thereafter, the number of shares available under the Plan shall only be increased pursuant to the Evergreen Provision.

We believe that operation of the Plan is a necessary and powerful tool in enabling us to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; to provide additional incentive to key employees, key contractors, and non-employee directors; and to promote the success of our business. The Plan is expected to provide flexibility to our compensation methods in order to adapt the compensation of such employees, contractors, and directors to a changing business environment, after giving due consideration to competitive conditions and the impact of federal tax laws. We have strived to use our Plan resources effectively and to maintain an appropriate balance between stockholder interests and the ability to recruit and retain valuable employees. However, we believe there is an insufficient number of shares remaining under our Plan to meet our current and projected needs. Accordingly, it is the judgment of our Board of Directors that the Amendment is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. We believe that the Amendment, which increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan, reflects best practices in our industry and is appropriate to permit the grant of equity awards at expected levels for the future.

Proposed Amendment

An amended Section 4(a)(i) of the Plan is set forth in its entirety below:

SECTION 4. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

(a)	SHARES AVAILABLE. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b):

(i)

CALCULATION OF NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE. The number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan shall be [ ]¹, plus additional Shares as follows: Effective as of the date of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan (the “Available Shares”) shall be increased by such number of Shares as is necessary so that, immediately following such increase, the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan equals fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the meeting date. As of January 1, of each year, commencing with January 1, 2027, the Available Shares shall automatically increase by a number of Shares that is only equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year. Further, if, after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan or to which such an Award or award relates, are forfeited, or if an Award or award otherwise terminates without the delivery of Shares or of other consideration, then the Shares covered by such Award or award, or to which such Award or award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award or award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be, or shall become, available for granting Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares (determined at the time of grant) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000, or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with such rules will be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option Agreement(s).

Except for the specific Amendment, the Plan remains in force and unmodified.

If the Shareholders approve the Amendment, we will file the full text of the Plan, with the Amendment as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K that discloses the results of the Meeting.

Vote Required

Proposal No. 3 will be approved if the votes case favoring the proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote all of your shares “FOR” an increase in the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s stock option plan.

OTHER MATTERS

Our Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the Meeting. If any additional matter should properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on any such matters.

Shall equal 15% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on March 9, 2026, minus the number of shares of Common Stock then currently issued and outstanding under the Plan.

We request persons such as brokers, nominees and fiduciaries holding stock in their names for others or holding stock for others who have the right to give voting instructions, to forward proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of the proxy. We will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses.

Periodic Report

The Periodic Reports are being sent with this Proxy Statement to each Shareholder and is available at www.proxyvote.com as well as on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The 2024 Annual Report contains our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the September 2025 10Q contains our unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Periodic Reports, however, are not to be regarded as part of the proxy soliciting material.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households

Only one copy of this proxy statement and one copy of each of our Periodic Reports are being delivered to multiple registered Shareholders who share an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the Shareholders. A separate form of proxy and a separate notice of the Meeting are being included for each account at the shared address. Registered Shareholders who share an address and would like to receive a separate copy of our Periodic Reports and/or a separate copy of this proxy statement, or have questions regarding the householding process, may contact the Company’s transfer agent: Vstock Transfer, LLC, by calling (212) 828-8436, or by forwarding a written request addressed to Vstock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. Promptly upon request, a separate copy of our Periodic Reports, and/or a separate copy of this proxy Statement will be sent. By contacting Vstock Transfer, LLC, registered Shareholders sharing an address can also (i) notify the Company that the registered Shareholders wish to receive separate annual reports or quarterly reports to Shareholders, proxy statements and/or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, in the future or (ii) request delivery of a single copy of annual reports or quarterly reports to Shareholders and proxy statements in the future if registered Shareholders at the shared address are receiving multiple copies.

Many brokers, brokerage firms, broker/dealers, banks, and other holders of record have also instituted “householding” (delivery of one copy of materials to multiple Shareholders who share an address). If your family has one or more “street name” accounts under which you beneficially own shares of our Common Stock, you may have received householding information from your broker, brokerage firm, broker/dealer, bank, or other nominee in the past. Please contact the holder of record directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this proxy statement, Periodic Reports or wish to revoke your decision to household and thereby receive multiple copies. You should also contact the holder of record if you wish to institute householding.
