Entry into Securities Purchase Agreement .

We have entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor under which we are selling 280,000 ordinary shares (“Shares”) to the investor at a price of $8.80, for aggregate proceeds of $2,464,000. The company filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 13, 2022, as a supplement to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration Statement No. 333- 253866) declared effective on March 15, 2021 (“Registration Statement”) for the sale of these securities.

Origin Agritech Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company” or “Origin Agritech”), offered the Shares to potential investors at a price of not less than $8.80 per share. The offering was under the prospectus supplement, made on a “self-sell basis,” without engaging any broker-dealer, selling agent or other securities professional or intermediary. The Shares were offered and sold through the efforts of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Dr. Gengchen Han, pursuant to a securities purchases agreement entered into with the investor, as negotiated by the Chief Executive Officer and the purchasing investor. The Chief Executive Officer did not receive any commission or other form of compensation from the sale of any Shares. He did not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1, which sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer.

The Company has filed to include the listing of the ordinary shares that it sold to the investor under the securities purchase agreement with the Nasdaq Stock Market.

We currently have a sale agreement with Oasis Capital LLC, which generally restricts our sale of ordinary shares in other transactions while placing securities thereunder, except for those that are by means of a private or public offering of our securities if the net proceeds are greater than $2,000,000.

Copies of the securities purchase agreement are filed with the SEC as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 6-K. The above descriptions of these two agreements above is qualified in its entirety by the filed agreements.
