[PRE 14C] Shineco, Inc. Preliminary Information Statement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Shineco, Inc. (SISI) has circulated a Preliminary Information Statement (Schedule 14C) announcing that its Board and holders of 56.55% of the voting stock have already approved a reverse stock split within a 1-for-25 to 1-for-60 range. The amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, if effected, will reduce the 45,030,730 outstanding common shares to between approximately 1.8 million (1-for-25) and 0.75 million shares (1-for-60), with fractional shares rounded up. The company’s sole stated purpose is to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) after receiving a minimum-bid-price deficiency notice on 16 June 2025. Nasdaq has scheduled a hearing for 24 July 2025; the split may be executed anytime within 12 months of shareholder approval, but not earlier than 20 days after mailing the definitive statement.

The Board retains full discretion over the exact split ratio and timing, weighing trading liquidity, market conditions, capitalization and potential market-cap impact. Authorized share counts (150 million common; 5 million preferred) will remain unchanged, increasing the proportion of unissued shares post-split. The company outlines typical risks: price may not rise proportionately or remain above compliance levels, liquidity could suffer from “odd lots,” and the larger pool of authorized but unissued shares could lead to future dilution.

No appraisal rights are offered. The action is being taken by written consent, so no shareholder meeting or proxy solicitation is required. Costs of printing and mailing the information statement will be borne by the company.

Positive

• Board and 56.55% of voting shareholders have already approved the reverse split, eliminating uncertainty over whether the action can proceed.
• Flexible ratio range (1-for-25 to 1-for-60) allows management to choose the minimum split needed to satisfy Nasdaq, potentially minimising share shrinkage.
• Primary goal is to preserve Nasdaq listing, an essential conduit for liquidity, analyst coverage and institutional participation.

Negative

• Reverse split may not generate a sustainable price above Nasdaq’s US$1.00 threshold, leaving delisting risk unresolved.
• Authorized share count remains at 150 million, increasing available shares for future issuance and potential dilution post-split.
• Multiple reverse splits within one year signal ongoing operational and market-cap challenges, which may erode investor confidence.
• Creation of odd-lot holdings could reduce trading liquidity and raise transaction costs for small shareholders.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR – Board-approved reverse split grants flexibility to address Nasdaq bid-price deficiency; governance process appears compliant and timely.

The Board leveraged Delaware’s written-consent mechanism to accelerate action, avoiding the expense and timing uncertainty of a special meeting. Because holders of more than 50% of voting power (56.55%) signed consents, execution risk from shareholder opposition is effectively zero. Granting a ratio range (1-for-25 to 1-for-60) maximises discretion so the split can be calibrated to prevailing market prices and Nasdaq’s feedback. Procedurally, the company has adhered to Section 14(c) disclosure and the 20-day waiting period, limiting litigation exposure. From a governance standpoint, the filing is neutral: it neither introduces nor removes shareholder rights but does preserve listing optionality, which is generally in shareholders’ collective interest.

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR – Reverse split may avert delisting but signals fundamental weakness; dilution headroom and execution risk temper long-term appeal.

Operational value is unchanged; only share count is compressed. History shows micro-cap reverse splits often fail to sustain higher prices, and Shineco already completed one within the past year, highlighting persistent pressure. Maintaining 150 million authorized shares post-split leaves 97–99% of capacity unissued, paving the way for potentially dilutive financings. If Nasdaq remains unconvinced at the 24 July hearing, delisting risk persists, nullifying the intended benefit. Near-term, the action could lift the price above US$1.00, but liquidity may decline as float shrinks and odd-lot positions rise. Risk-adjusted, impact skews mildly negative for existing shareholders.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

[●], 2025

INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation 14C promulgated thereunder, the notice and this information statement (this “Information Statement”) is being furnished to the holders of record of the common stock, par value $0.001 per shares (the “Common Stock”) of Shineco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). This Information Statement is being circulated to advise stockholders of certain actions already approved and taken without a meeting by written consent of stockholders who hold a majority of the voting power of our voting capital stock.

On July 3, 2025, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) unanimously adopted resolutions approving, declaring advisable and recommending to the Company’s stockholders for their approval a proposal to authorize the Board, in its discretion, to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-25 to 1-for-60, such ratio to be determined by the Board (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Approval of this proposal will grant the Board the authority, without further action by the stockholders of the Company, to carry out such action solely in connection with meeting The Nasdaq Capital Market’s (“Nasdaq”) minimum bid price requirements (discussed below), with the exact exchange ratio and timing to be determined at the discretion of the Board.

Under the Company’s Bylaws, any action required or permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all voting shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the approval of any action so taken must be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing to the action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would otherwise have been entitled to notice of the meeting.

On July 3, 2025, stockholders that, in the aggregate, were the record owners of 25,463,667 shares of our Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, 56.55% of our outstanding voting capital stock (together, the “Consenting Stockholders”), executed and delivered to the Company written consents authorizing and approving the Reverse Stock Split.

Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split has been approved by stockholders representing the requisite number of shares of our outstanding voting capital stock. As such, no vote or further action of the stockholders of the Company is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split. You are hereby being provided with this notice of the approval of the Reverse Stock Split and related charter amendment by less than unanimous written consent of the stockholders of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Reverse Stock Split will not be effective, and the amendment will not be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of the definitive Information Statement to our stockholders and in any case until the Board has selected the exact split ratio no later than twelve months from the date of the stockholders’ approval, solely in connection with satisfying the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

We will provide definitive information in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.

Total			25,463,667				56.55	%

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The Board is recommending the Reverse Stock Split for the following reason. On June 16, 2025, the Company received a staff determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “Bid Price Requirement”). Furthermore, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period, since the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, the Company submitted a request for hearing before the Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal Nasdaq’s determination. The hearing request automatically stayed the suspension of trading of the Company’s Common Stock until such time that the hearing is held and Nasdaq has made its determination. Nasdaq has set July 24, 2025 to be the hearing date. Nasdaq’s determination is expected to depend, in part, on the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Accordingly, the Board and the Consenting Shareholders found it in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to effectuate a reverse stock split. A decrease in the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split should, absent other factors, increase the per share market price of the Company’s Common Stock, although there is no assurance that the trading price for the Common Stock would remain over the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq in order to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or sustain a continued listing of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq.

The Board cannot predict with certainty what effect the Reverse Stock Split will have on the market price of the Common Stock, particularly over the longer term. Some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, which could result in a decrease in our market capitalization. Additionally, any improvement in liquidity due to increased institutional or brokerage interest or lower trading commissions may be offset by the lower number of outstanding shares.

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

The Consenting Shareholders’ approval of a range of Reverse Stock Split ratios (rather than a single exchange ratio) is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders because it provides the Board with the flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split and because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the Reverse Stock Split would be implemented. The Board would carry out the Reverse Stock Split only upon the Board’s determination that a reverse stock split would be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders at that time, and only (without further stockholder approval) on or before to July 2, 2026. The Board would then set the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split within the range approved by the Company’s stockholders and in an amount it determines is advisable and in the best interests of the stockholders considering relevant market conditions at the time the Reverse Stock Split is to be implemented. In determining the Reverse Stock Split ratio, the Board may consider numerous factors including:

● the projected impact of the Reverse Stock Split ratio on trading liquidity in the Common Stock and the Company’s ability to continue the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq;

● the historical and projected performance of the Common Stock;

● general economic and other related conditions prevailing in the Company’s industry and in the marketplace;

● the Company’s capitalization (including the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding);

● the then-prevailing trading price for the Common Stock and the volume level thereof; and

● potential devaluation of our market capitalization as a result of a Reverse Stock Split.

The Board intends to select a reverse stock split ratio that it believes would be most likely to achieve the anticipated benefits of the reverse stock split described above.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

The Company faces the following risks associated with effecting the Reverse Stock Split:

● Although the Company expects that the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the market price of our Common Stock, the Company cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will increase the market price of the Common Stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding or result in a permanent increase in the market price. The effect the Reverse Stock Split may have upon the market price of the Common Stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances to the Company’s is varied. The market price of the Common Stock is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s business and financial performance, general market conditions, prospects for future success and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of the Common Stock after the proposed Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Stock Split and, in the future, the market price of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the proposed Reverse Stock Split.

● Even if the Reverse Stock Split is approved, the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the Common Stock continues to be listed on the Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will maintain the ongoing continued listing requirements for an extended period of time.

● The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock on a post-split basis. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

● While the Board believes that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

● Although the Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split and the anticipated increase in the market price of Common Stock could encourage interest in our Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company’s stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.

● If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented prior to Nasdaq’s determination, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will make a positive determination to continue our listing following our appeal hearing, which may contribute to negative publicity and adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

If our Board effects the Reverse Stock Split, we will amend our Certificate of Incorporation by filing a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation in substantially the form of Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will result in the number of shares of the Common Stock held by each stockholder being reduced to a number of shares determined by dividing the number of shares held immediately before the Reverse Stock Split by the split denominator, and then rounding up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split would not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that interests in fractional shares would be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split only impacts outstanding shares and not authorized shares unless the Certificate of Amendment by its terms also increases the authorized shares.

Corporate Matters. The Reverse Stock Split would have the following effects on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date:

	●	in a 1-for-25 reverse stock split, every 25 shares owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for one share; and the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 45,030,730 shares to 1,801,229 shares;
	●	in a 1-for-60 reverse stock split, every 60 shares owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for one share; and the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 45,030,730 shares to 750,513 shares.

The Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Common Stock and the exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and split denominator will be the same for all of our outstanding Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. As described below, stockholders and holders of options holding fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock. Our registered holders of Common Stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with statements reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action to receive evidence of their shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock.

Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock. Stockholders holding shares of our Common Stock in certificated form will be sent a transmittal letter by the transfer agent after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a stockholder should surrender his, her or its certificate(s) representing shares of our Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”) to the transfer agent. Unless a stockholder specifically requests a new paper certificate or holds restricted shares, upon the stockholder’s surrender of all of the stockholder’s Old Certificates to the transfer agent, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, the transfer agent will register the appropriate number of shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock electronically in book-entry form and provide the stockholder with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in the stockholder’s account. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange his, her or its Old Certificates. Until surrendered, we will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by stockholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to which these stockholders are entitled. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for appropriate number of shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock. If an Old Certificate has a restrictive legend on its reverse side, a new certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legend on its reverse side.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Effect on Market Price of our Common Stock. The immediate effect of the Reverse Stock Split would be to reduce the number of shares of the outstanding Common Stock and to possibly increase the trading price of such Common Stock. However, the effect of any effected Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of the Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances sometimes improves stock performance, but in many cases does not. There can be no assurance that the trading price of the Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split or remain at an increased level for any period.

Dilution. You may also experience future potential substantial dilution of your percentage of ownership of the equity in the Company as a result of this Reverse Stock Split. While the Reverse Stock Split itself does not result in dilution (except with respect to the round up of fractional shares as discussed below), it makes available a substantial number of shares for future transactions by the Company, the consummation of which could result in substantial dilution.

Fractional Shares. No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares of shares rounded up to the nearest whole number and, accordingly, no money will be paid for a fractional share.

Options and Warrants. Holders of options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, who upon exercise of their options or warrants would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold options or warrants which upon exercise would result in a number of shares of Common Stock not evenly divisible by the exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, will receive a number of shares of Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole number for compliance with Section 409A and 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

Authorized Shares. The Company is currently authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock will remain at 5,000,000 and 150,000,000, respectively, although the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will decrease. The issuance in the future of additional shares of our Common Stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights of the currently outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock and Common Stock. Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue such shares in future financings or otherwise. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our Preferred Stock and Common Stock would be diluted.

Accounting Matters. The par value per share of the Common Stock would remain unchanged after the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on the balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be reduced proportionally, based on the exchange ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, from its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share Common Stock net income or loss and net book value will be increased because there will be fewer shares of the Common Stock outstanding. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Other Effects on Outstanding Shares. If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, the rights and preferences of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock would remain the same after the Reverse Stock Split. Each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split would be fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split would result in some stockholders owning “odd-lots” of less than 100 shares of the Common Stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd-lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions in “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

No Appraisal Rights. Under the DGCL, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Reverse Stock Split and amendment to our certificate of incorporation.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to a stockholder (hereinafter a “U.S. stockholder”) that is a “United States person,” as defined in the Code. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split and is included for general information only. Further, it does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. Also, it does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. In addition, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our shares through such entities. The discussion below is based on the provisions of the U.S. federal income tax law as of the date hereof, which is subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively. This summary also assumes that the shares held by the stockholder prior to the Reverse Stock Split (“Old Shares”) were, and the shares owned by the stockholders immediately after the Reverse Stock Split (“New Shares”) will be, owned as “capital assets,” as defined in the Code (generally, property held for investment). The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. The discussion below regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder is urged to consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange (or deemed exchange) of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis (and the holding period) of the New Shares received in the Reverse Stock Split should be the same as such stockholder’s aggregate tax basis (and holding period) in the Old Shares being exchanged. Special tax basis and holding period rules may apply to holders that acquired different blocks of stock at different prices or at different times. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these special rules to their particular circumstances.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect. Since the Reverse Stock Split, if effectuated, will result in increased available shares, the Reverse Stock Split may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Although neither the Board nor the Company’s management views this proposal as an anti-takeover measure, the Company could use the increased available shares to frustrate persons seeking to affect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company. For example, the Company could privately place shares with purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid or issue shares to a holder that would, thereafter, have sufficient voting power to assure that any proposal to amend or repeal the Company’s bylaws or certain provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation would not receive the requisite vote. The Company’s certificate of incorporation already includes authorized preferred stock, which can also be seen as an anti-takeover measure, and the Board can designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of series of preferred stock without further stockholder action. The Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws also include other provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect.
