Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 22, 2019, Future FinTech Group Inc. (the “Company”) received a subpoena from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement requiring us to produce documents and other information relating to our changes of auditors early this year, our block-chain based Chain Cloud Shopping Mall 2.0 and update of legal proceedings previously filed in our 2017 10-K and 2018 10-Qs. We are required to produce all responsive documents created during, or concerning, the period January 1, 2017 to the present, unless otherwise specified.

We are cooperating with the SEC’s investigation and have provided responsive documents and information requested in the subpoena. In the event the Company locates additional responsive documents, we expect to produce them promptly to the SEC. We also expect to make officers or other employees available to be interviewed by the SEC with regard to the subject matters identified in the subpoena.

The Company is unable to predict, what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the SEC or any other governmental authority as a result of the subpoena. There can be no assurance that the SEC will not commence an enforcement action against us or members of our management, or as to the ultimate resolution of any enforcement action that the SEC may decide to bring. Under applicable law, the SEC has the ability to impose significant sanctions on companies and individuals who are found to have violated the provisions of applicable federal securities laws, including cease and desist orders, civil money penalties, and barring individuals from serving as directors or officers of public companies. We have expended significant financial and managerial resources responding to the SEC subpoena. Defending any enforcement action brought by the SEC against us would involve further significant expenditures and the resolution of any such enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
