We expect that we will need significant additional capital in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise capital, we may sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, including issuance of equity securities pursuant to any future stock incentive plan to our officers, directors, employees and non-employee consultants for their services to us, investors in a prior transaction may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Additionally, any such sales may result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. Further, any future sales of our Common Stock by us or resales of our Common Stock by our existing shareholders could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. Any future grants of options, warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into our Common Stock, or the exercise or conversion of such shares, and any sales of such shares in the market, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

As a pre-profit biopharmaceutical company, the
Company needs to transition
from a company with a research and development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities.
The Company may not be
able to reach such transition point or make such a transition, which would have affectaffected our business, financial
condition, results of
operations and prospects.
The Company has limited capital resources and
operations. The CDMO
services provided by BioKey generates a limited amount of revenue that can only partially support the operations
of the Company. To date,
the Company’s operations have been funded partially from the proceeds from financingsfinancing or loans from
its shareholders. From time
to time, we may seek additional financing to provide the capital required to expand research and development
(“R&D”) initiatives
and/or working capital, as well as to repay outstanding loans if cash flow from operations is insufficient
to do so. We cannot predict
with certainty the timing or amount of any such capital requirements.
With limited operating history, the Company has
never obtained regulatory approval
for, or commercialized, any new drug candidate. It is possible that the FDA may refuse to
accept our planned New Drug Application
(or “NDA”) for any of the six drug products for substantive review or may conclude
after review of our data that our application
is insufficient to obtain regulatory approval of the new drug candidates or the medical
device. Although our CDMO strategic business department
has experience in obtaining abbreviated new drug application (or “ANDA”)
approvals, the processes and timelines of obtaining
an NDA approval and ANDA approval can differentiate substantially. If the FDA does
not accept or approve our planned NDA for our product
candidates, it may require that we conduct additional clinical, preclinical or manufacturing
validation studies, which may be costly.
Depending on the FDA required studies, approval of any NDA or application that we submit may
be significantly delayed, possibly for several
years, or may require us to expend more resources than we have. Any delay in obtaining,
or inability to obtain, regulatory approvals of
any of our drug candidatecandidates will prevent us from sublicensing such product. It is also possible
that additional studies, if performed and
completed, may not be considered sufficient by the FDA. If any of these outcomes occurs, we
may be forced to abandon our planned NDA for
such drug candidate, which materially adversely affects our business and could potentially
cause us to cease operations. We face similar
regulatory risks in a foreign jurisdiction.
Our current products have certain side
effects. effects.
If the side effects associated with our current or future products are not identified prior to their marketing and sale,sales, we
may be required
to withdraw such products from the market, perform lengthy additional clinical trials or change the labeling of our products,
any of which
could adversely impact our growth.
We currently have insurance policies to cover
liabilities under the
clinic trials but do not maintain general liability insurance; and even if we have a general liability insurance
in the future, this insurance
may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any product liability litigation
or other proceeding, even if
resolved in our favor, could be substantial. We would need to increase our insurance coverage if and when
we begin selling any product
candidate that receives marketing approval. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive.
If we are unable to obtain
or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product
liability claims, it
could prevent or inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could
adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
If ABVC’s Subsidiary BioLite materially
breaches any license
agreements it has with Yukiguni Maitake Co. (“Yukiguni”), Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry Technology
and Development Center
(“MPITDC”) or Industrial Technology Research Institute (“ITRI”), or any of such license
agreement terminates unexpectedly,
BioLite may not be able to continue its research and development of the new drug candidate which contains
the underlying API whose license
has been terminated. Pursuant to the Yukiguni License Agreement, if BioLite fails to meet the milestone
sales requirement or submitsubmits certain
applications to the appropriate health authorities on a schedule prescribed therein, Yukiguni shall
have the right to terminate the Yukiguni
License Agreement. If the Yukiguni License Agreement is terminated involuntarily, BioLite will
be forced to discontinue its new drug development
of ABV-1703, ABV-1502 and ABV-1501 and terminate the collaboration agreements relating
to the three new drug candidates. The termination
of the right to use the underlying API will materially disrupt the operations of ABVC.
Pursuant to the license agreement between BioLite
Taiwan and ITRI, if BioLite Taiwan fails to complete the research submission milestones
according to the schedule set forth therein without
reasons or with reasons unstatisfied with ITRI, ITRI shall have the right to terminate
the license agreement with BioLite Taiwan without
refund to BioLite Taiwan. BioLite Taiwan and BioLite have submitted the IND for PDC-1421
and subsequently conducted Phase II clinical
trials of two drug candidiatescandidates developed from PDC-1421 according to the schedule listed in
the license agreement between BioLite Taiwan
and MPITDC.
Proceedings to enforce the Company’s and
its licensors’
patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert its efforts and attention from
other aspects of the businesses.
business. Accordingly, the efforts to protect the Company’s intellectual property rights in such countries
may be inadequate. In
addition, changes in the law and legal decisions by courts in the U.S. and foreign countries may affect the Company’s
ability to
obtain adequate protection for its technology and the enforcement of intellectual property.
A small number of licensees account for a substantial portion of the revenue we generate and the loss of one or more of these key licensees would negatively impact our revenue and cash flow.
From its inception, we have not generated substantial revenue from our medical device and new drug development. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not receive any payment from the collection of outstanding balances from outlicensing our intellectual property in the prior years, and in turn no revenue was recognized.
We do not have long-term license arrangements with any of our licensees and they can cancel their agreements at any time. A reduction in or termination of these license agreements from these licensees would negatively impact our revenue and cash flow.
Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially
all of their
operations in China, have been subjects of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and
and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered on financial and accounting
irregularities, lack of effective internal control over financial accountings,accounting, inadequate corporate governance and ineffective implementation
thereof and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of enhanced scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded
stocks of many U.S.-listed Chinese companies have sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, have become virtually worthless or illiquid.
Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations
into the allegations. It is not clear what effects the sector-wide investigations will have on the Company. If the Company becomes athe
subject subject
of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, the Company will have to expend significant
resources to investigate such allegations and defend the Company. If such allegations were not proven to be baseless, the Company would
be severely hampered and the price of the stock of the Company could decline substantially. If such allegations were proven to be groundless,
the investigation might have significantly distracted the attention of the Company’s management.
We are subject to a number of risks associated with our indebtedness,
including: 1) we must dedicate a portion of our cash flows from operations to pay debt service costs, and therefore we have less funds
available for operations and other purposes; 2) it may be more difficult and expensive to obtain additional funds through financings,
if available at all; 3) we are more vulnerable to economic downturns and fluctuations in interest rates, less able to withstand competitive
pressures and less flexible in reacting to changes in our industry and general economic conditions; and 4) if we default under any of
our existing credit facilities or if our creditors demand payment of a portion or all of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient
funds to make such payments. As of December 31, 2024,2025, our working capital is in deficit of $4.4$3.6 million, consisting of outstanding current
liabilities were approximately $6.6$6.2 million, which consisted primarily of short-term bank loansloans, short-term convertible note payables,
and accrued expenses.
Insiders might have substantial control influence
over us,
and theywhich could delay or prevent a change in our corporate control even if our other shareholders wanted it to occur.
Our executive officers, directors, and principal
shareholders own, in the aggregate, approximately 61.4%19% of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result of their stockholdings, these
shareholders aremay ablehave tosignificant assert substantial controlinfluence over matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval
approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or
merging with us even
if our other shareholders wanted it to occur.
We expect that we will need significant additional
capital in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise capital, we may sell Common Stock, convertible securities or other
equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell Common Stock, convertible
securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, including issuance of equity securities pursuant to any future stock
incentive plan to our officers, directors, employees and non-employee consultants for their services to us, investors in a prior transaction
may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Additionally, any such sales may result in material dilution to our existing shareholders,
and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. Further, any future sales
of our Common Stock by us or resales of our Common Stock by our existing shareholders could cause the market price of our Common Stock
to decline. Any future grants of options, warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into our Common Stock, or the exercise
or conversion of such shares, and any sales of such shares in the market, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common
Stock. On OctoberMay 29,22, 2021,2025, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3, as amended on November 16, 2021, which washas not been declared effective

the same terms as the investors warrants in connection with the transaction. We may issue shares of Common Stock through the Form S-3
in the future, which would further dilute your ownership.

Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)

(the “Amendment”) to the Licensing Agreement with FEYE, pursuant to which the Company and
BioFirst have agreed to allow
FEYE to pay the second milestone payment in the amount of $3,500,000 per Licensing Agreement, incrementally
(such as $100,000), at any
given time, rather than in one lump sum. During the three and nine monthsyear ended SeptemberDecember 30,31, 2025, the Company did not receive any payment for the licensing
agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company

on the Net Sales, as defined in
the April 2024 Oncox Agreement, from the first commercial sale of the Lung Cancer Product in North America,
of which there can be no guarantee.
Oncox entered into another agreement with ABVC’s affiliate, Rgene Corporation, on the same terms.
During the three and nine monthsyear ended SeptemberDecember
31, 30,2025, the Company did not receive any payment for the licensing agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received
in cash and recognized revenue of $200,000 and $200,000,
respectively, pursuant to the agreement.
Through a series of transactions over the past
5 years, the Company and Rgene have co-developed the three drug products covered by the Service Agreement, which has resulted inand the Company acquired 26.65%
owning 31.62% of Rgene.Rgene’s outstanding common shares since 2018 through these multiple collaborative agreements.
The Company entered a convertible loan agreement with Rgene in 2022 and has been working with Rgene to obtain approval for the Company to exercise the conversion from Department of Investment Review in Taiwan, a government agency reviews foreign investors conducting investment in Taiwan. In May 2024, the conversion request for the conversion was approved, but the Company was not informed by Rgene until April 2025. After the conversion, the Company owns 37% of outstanding shares of Rgene.
As part of the Rgene Studies, the Company agreed
to loan $1.0 million to Rgene, for which Rgene has provided the Company with a 5% working capital convertible loan (the “Note”).
If the Note is fully converted, the Company will own an additional 6.4% of Rgene. The Company is expected to receive the outstanding loan
from the related party by the first half of 2024, either by cash or conversion of shares of Rgene. The Company may convert the Note
at any time into shares of Rgene’s common stock at either (i) a fixed conversion price equal to $1.00 per share or (ii) 20% discount
of the stock price of the then most recent offering, whichever is lower; the conversion price is subject to adjustment as set forth in
the Note. The Note includes standard events of default, as well as a cross default provision pursuant to which a breach of the Service
Agreement will trigger an event of default under the Note if not cured after 5 business days of written notice regarding the breach is

On July 24, 2017, the Company entered into a collaborative
agreement (the “BioFirst Agreement”) with BioFirst Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Taiwan (“BioFirst”),
pursuant to which BioFirst granted the Company global licensing rights to medical use of ABV-1701 Vitreous Substitute for Vitrectomy.
BioFirst is a related party to the Company because a controlling beneficiary shareholder of YuanGene Corporation and the Company is a
Directordirector and shareholdersshareholder of BioFirst (See Note 12).
Pursuant to the BioFirst Agreement, the Company
and BioFirst will co-develop
and commercialize BFC-1401. The Company will pay BioFirst a total amount of $3,000,000 in cash or stock of
the Company before September

before the BioFirst Agreement
was executed. The Company is entitled to receive 50% of any future net licensing revenue or net profit associated
with Vitargus®.
All development costcosts will be equally shared by both BriVision and BioFirst.
On September 25, 2017, BioFirst delivered all
research, technical,
data and development data to the Company. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company determined to fully
expense the entire amount
of $3,000,000 since the related licensing rights do not have alternative future uses. According to ASC 730-10-25-1,
absent alternative
future uses the acquisition of product rights to be used in research and development activities must be charged to
research and development
expenses immediately. Hence, the entire amount of $3,000,000 is fully expensedrecognized as research and development expense
during the year ended
September 30, 2017.
As per the Agreement, the Shareholders shall supervise
and manage the
business and operations of Biolite JP. The directors shall not be entitled to any renumeration for their services as a

Ordinary Shares,
the director such Shareholder appointed must tender his/her resignation. The Agreement also sets forth certain corporate
actions that
must be pre-approved by all Shareholders (the “Reserved Matters”). If the Shareholders are unable to make
a decision on any
Reserved Matter, then either Shareholder can submit a deadlock notice to the other shareholder, 5 days after which they
must refer the
matter to each Shareholder’s chairman and use good faith to resolve the dispute. If such dispute is not resolved
within 10 days
thereafter, then either Shareholder can offer to buy all of the other Shareholder’s Ordinary Shares for cash at a
specified price;
if there is notno affirmative acceptance of the sale, the sale shall proceed as set forth in the sale offer.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our revenue for
the fiscal year 2022 were
was significantly impacted. In 2023, our business started recovering from the COVID-19 impact. We have been working on
new contracts towards
revenue generation and increase in sales of existing products and incorporating new products for sale.
The COVID-19 pandemic, including variants,
has adversely affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, elements of our CDMO business sector. The COVID-19 pandemic
government imposedgovernment-imposed restrictions constrained researcher access to labs globally. These constraints limited scientific discovery capacitycapacity,
and we observed that demand in those labs fell well below historic levels. As constraints on social distancing were gradually lifted around
the world recently, labs have been able to increase research activity. While we believe that underlying demand is still not yet at pre-COVID-19 levels
since lab operations remain below their normal capacity, we are hopeful that the vaccination programs that are underway combined with
policy changes planned for the summer will further increase research activity and support a return to pre-COVID-19 demand levels
worldwide.
Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates
made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions,
including losses on inventory; impairment losses related to goodwill and other long-lived assets and current obligations.
Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025
On February 25, 2026, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s Previously Issued Financial Statements should be restated and no longer relied upon due to inappropriate revenue recognition, and the inconsistent application of fair value measurement of the acquired land.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received $595,950 and $200,000 in cash from OncoX and ForSeeCon, respectively, and recognized licensing revenues accordingly. Subsequently at the time of preparing the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, management realized that the funds paid by OncoX and ForSeeCon were either partially or fully borrowed from BioFirst, the Company’s related party, as well as an investee over which that the Company has significant influence. Management considered that since the Company has certain balances due from Biofirst as of September 30, 2025, the funds received from OncoX and ForSeeCon, in the amounts of $560,000 and $200,000, respectively, may have indirectly come from the Company. Therefore, such cash receipts should not be recognized as revenue according to the licensing agreement and ASC 606. As a result, the Company reversed the revenue recognized from Oncox and from ForSeeCon in the amount of $560,000 and $200,000, respectively, as a total of $760,000, against the balance due from related party – BioFirst. Of the total consideration $795,950 received, $35,950 was sourced from OncoX’s existing operating funds rather than from a qualifying fundraising event. Because the licensing agreement requires that payments be funded exclusively from the proceeds of OncoX’s next financing round, this amount does not satisfy the contractual conditions for payment under the arrangement. As a result, we derecognized $35,950 in revenue and reclassified it as a balance due to OncoX. The total amount of revenue reversed was aggregate $795,950.
On July 15, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Shuling, pursuant to which Shuling shall transfer the ownership of certain land she owns, with estimated fair value of $3,857,975, located at Taoyuan City, Taiwan, to the Company. Historically, management concluded that the fair value of the land acquired, as determined by an independent third-party real estate appraisal, was more clearly evident than the fair value of the unlisted equity instruments issued. Therefore, the Company originally recorded the asset based on the appraised value of the land. The Company subsequently determined that the fair value of the equity consideration that derived primarily from the Company’s publicly quoted stock price is in fact, the more clearly evident and reliable measure of fair value.
As approved at the last annual shareholder meeting, the Company was to pay Shuling (i) 2,035,136 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at a price of $1.65 per share as approved in the June 3, 2025 annual shareholder meeting and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Based on the public market quote of the Company’s common stocks, and the fair value of the warrants issued in this transaction, based on the Black-Scholes valuation model, the Company concluded that the value of the land acquired should be $4,656,461, resulting in an increase of $798,486 in the recognized cost of the land.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the UnitedU.S. StatesGAAP of Americathat requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities

expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from
those results.
On July 25, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate
of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation authorizing a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of its common
stock. The Company’s stockholders previously approved the Reverse Stock Split at the Company’s Special Shareholder Meeting
held on July 7, 2023. The Reverse Stock Split was effected to reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares and to increase the per
share trading value of the Company’s common stock, although that outcome is not guaranteed. InAll turn, the Company believes that the
Reverse Stock Split will enable the Company to restore compliance with certain continued listing standards of NASDAQ Capital Market. All

Revenues Derived from Research and Development Activities Services (Also known as the Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization Services (“CDMO”)) — Revenues related to research and development and regulatory activities are recognized when the related services or activities are performed, in accordance with the contract terms. The Company typically has only one performance obligation at the inception of a contract, which is to perform research and development services. The Company may also provide its customers with an option to request that the Company provides additional goods or services in the future, such as active pharmaceutical ingredient, API, or IND/NDA/ANDA/510K submissions. The Company evaluates whether these options are material rights at the inception of the contract. If the Company determines an option is a material right, the Company will consider the option a separate performance obligation.
If the Company is entitled to reimbursement from its customers for specified research and development expenses, the Company accounts for the related services that it provides as separate performance obligations if it determines that these services represent a material right. The Company also determines whether the reimbursement of research and development expenses should be accounted for as revenues or an offset to research and development expenses in accordance with provisions of gross or net revenue presentation. The Company recognizes the corresponding revenues or records the corresponding offset to research and development expenses as it satisfies the related performance obligations.
The Company then determines the transaction price by reviewing the amount of consideration the Company is eligible to earn under the contracts, including any variable consideration. Under the outstanding contracts, consideration typically includes fixed consideration and variable consideration in the form of potential milestone payments. At the start of an agreement, the Company’s transaction price usually consists of the payments made to or by the Company based on the number of full-time equivalent researchers assigned to the project and the related research and development expenses incurred. The Company does not typically include any payments that the Company may receive in the future in its initial transaction price because the payments are not probable. The Company would reassess the total transaction price at each reporting period to determine if the Company should include additional payments in the transaction price.
The Company receives payments from its customers based on billing schedules established in each contract. Upfront payments and fees may be recorded as advance from customers upon receipt or when due, and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs its obligations under these arrangements. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the right of the Company to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customers and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customers will be one year or less.
The Company has adopted ASC subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of to be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
The Company acquires the equity investments to
promote business and strategic
objectives. The accounting treatment for equity investments, where the Company does not have control over
the investees, is as follows:
Investments in Convertible Notes
The Company invests in convertible notes issued by related parties and manages these instruments with the objective of collecting contractual cash flows rather than trading them. At initial recognition, the Company evaluates the terms of each instrument to determine the appropriate classification and measurement in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. When the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest and the Company’s business model is to hold the instruments to collect those cash flows, the convertible notes are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest income is recognized over the expected term of the notes. If the contractual terms include features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host, or if the instruments do not meet the criteria for amortized cost measurement, the notes are measured at fair value with changes recognized in earnings. Upon conversion, the carrying amount of the note is reclassified to investments in equity securities.
Impairment of Equity Investments and Convertible Note Investments The Company evaluates its non-marketable equity investments, equity method investments, and convertible note investments for impairment on a periodic basis. This assessment incorporates both qualitative and quantitative factors that may indicate a decline in the fair value of an investment. Qualitative considerations include the investee’s financial performance, changes in market or industry conditions, adverse regulatory developments, operational challenges, and the investee’s ability to meet its business objectives. Quantitative analyses may include the use of market and income valuation approaches, such as comparable company metrics, recent financing transactions, and discounted cash flow models that require significant estimates regarding revenue, costs, and discount rates.

Biokey Distribution and Separation
To enhance shareholder value, on June 22, 2026, ABVC announced plans for the partial legal and structural separation of the BioKey Cayman business from ABVC (the “Reorganization Transactions”). The Reorganization Transactions consists of two distinct steps: (i) the legal separation of BioKey Cayman from ABVC (the “Separation”) and (ii) the subsequent distribution of BioKey Cayman shares to ABVC shareholders (the “Distribution”). To affect the Separation, BioKey Cayman filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 pursuant to the Exchange Act (File No. 000-56853), which the Commission declared effective on June 25, 2026 (the “Form 10”). Shortly before the Form 10 became effective, BioKey Cayman and ABVC entered into that certain Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of June 22, 2026 (the “SDA”) and the related ancillary agreements. Upon effectiveness of the Form 10 and execution of the SDA, BioKey Cayman became a separate Exchange Act reporting company, although ABVC continued to own 100% of its outstanding shares pending the Distribution.
For the Distribution, ABVC intends to distribute approximately 4,500,000 of its ordinary shares of BioKey Cayman, which represents approximately 15% of BioKey Cayman’s current issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, to ABVC’s shareholders on a pro rata basis. Following the Distribution, it is anticipated that ABVC will retain approximately an 85% ownership interest in BioKey Cayman and will remain BioKey Cayman’s controlling shareholder. The distribution was originally scheduled for August 3, 2026, but was postponed due to outstanding tax, administrative and regulatory matters. A revised distribution date has not yet been determined. Accordingly, BioKey Cayman currently exists as a separate reporting entity but remains wholly owned by ABVC until the Distribution is completed.

Joint Venture Agreement
On October 6, 2021 (the “Completion Date”),
ABVC BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”), Lucidaim Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation (“Lucidaim,” together with the
Company, the “Shareholders”), and BioLite Japan K.K., a Japanese corporation (“Biolite JP”) entered into a Joint
Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”). Biolite JP is a private limited company (a Japanese Kabushiki Kaisha) incorporated
on December 18, 2018 and at the date of the Agreement had 10,000 ordinary shares authorized, with 3,049 ordinary shares issued and outstanding
(the “Ordinary Shares”). Immediately prior to the execution of the Agreement, Lucidaim owned 1,501 ordinary shares and the
Company owned 1,548 ordinary shares. The Shareholders entered into the joint venture to formally reduce to writing their intention to
invest in and operate Biolite JP as a joint venture. The business of the joint venture shall be the research and development of drugs,
medical device and digital media, investment, fund raising and consulting, distribution and marketing of supplements carried by Biolite
JP and its subsidiaries in Japan, or any other territory or business, as the Agreement may with mutual consent be amended from time to
time. The closing of the transaction was conditioned upon the approval and receipt of all necessary government approvals, which have
all been received.
Pursuant to the Agreement and the related share
transfer agreement, the Company shall transfer 54 of its Ordinary Shares to Lucidaim for no consideration, such that following the transfer,
Lucidaim shall own 1,555 Ordinary Shares (51%) and the Company shall own 1,494 Ordinary Shares (49%). Also pursuant to the Agreement,
there shall be 3 directors of Biolite JP, consisting of 1 director appointed by the Company and 2 appointed by Lucidiam. The Company
shall appoint Eugene Jiang, the Company’s current Chairman and Chief Business Officer and Lucidaim shall appoint Michihito Onishi;
the current director of Biolite JP, Toru Seo (who is also a director of BioLite Japan’s other shareholder), is considered the second
Lucidaim director. The Agreement further provides that the Company and Biolite JP shall assign the research collaboration and license
agreement between them to Biolite JP or prepare the same (the “License Agreement”). The aforementioned transactions occurred
on the Completion Date.
As per the Agreement, the Shareholders shall
supervise and manage the business and operations of Biolite JP. The directors shall not be entitled to any renumeration for their services
as a director and each Shareholder can remove and replace the director he/she/it appointed. If a Shareholder sells or disposes of all
of its Ordinary Shares, the Shareholder-appointed director must tender his/her resignation. The Agreement also sets forth certain corporate
actions that must be pre-approved by all Shareholders (the “Reserved Matters”). If the Shareholders are unable to make a
decision on any Reserved Matter, then either Shareholder can submit a deadlock notice to the other shareholder, 5 days after which they
must refer the matter to each Shareholder’s chairman and use good faith to resolve the dispute. If such dispute is not resolved
within 10 days thereafter, then either Shareholder can offer to buy all of the other Shareholder’s Ordinary Shares for cash at
a specified price; if there is not affirmative acceptance of the sale, the sale shall proceed as set forth in the sale offer.
Each of the Shareholders maintains a pre-emptive
right to purchase such number of additional Ordinary Shares as would allow such Shareholder to maintain its ownership percentage in Biolite
JP if Biolite JP issues any new Ordinary Shares. However, the Agreement provides that the Company shall lose its pre-emptive rights under
certain conditions. The Shareholders also maintain a right of first refusal if the other Shareholder receives an offer to buy such shareholder’s
Ordinary Shares.
The Agreement also requires Biolite JP to obtain
a bank facility in the amount of JPY 30,460,000 (approximately $272,000), for its initial working capital purposes. Pursuant to the Agreement,
each Shareholder agrees to guarantee such bank facility if the bank requires a guarantee. Accordingly, the Company may be liable for
the bank facility in an amount up to JPY 14,925,400 (approximately $134,000), which represents 49% of the maximum bank facility. The
Agreement further provides that Biolite JP shall issue annual dividends at the rate of at least 1.5% of Biolite JP’s profits, if
it has sufficient cash to do so.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and Biolite
JP agree to use their best efforts to execute the License Agreement by the end of December 2021. The Company agreed that any negotiation
on behalf of Biolite JP regarding the terms of the License Agreement shall be handled by the directors appointed by Lucidaim. If the
Company and such Lucidaim directors do not reach agreement on the terms, Biolite JP may at its sole discretion determine not to execute
the License Agreement without any liability to the Company. The company is negotiating on the licensing terms and expects to conclude
soon.
The Agreement contains non-solicitation and non-compete
clauses for a period of 2 years after a Shareholder or its subsidiaries ceases to be a Shareholder, with such restrictive covenants limited
to business within the ophthalmologic filed or central neurological field. Any rights to intellectual property that arise from Biolite
JP’s activities, shall belong to Biolite JP.
The Agreement contains standard indemnification
terms, except that no indemnifying party shall have any liability for an individual liability unless it exceeds JPY 500,000 (approximately
$4,500) and until the aggregate amount of all liabilities exceeds JPY 2,000,000 (approximately $18,000) and then only to the extent such
liability exceeds such limit.
The Company paid $150,000 towards the setup of
the joint venture and BioLite Japan’s other shareholder paid $150,000 after the Letter of Intent was signed.
The Agreement shall continue for 10 years, unless
earlier terminated and shall continue until terminated by: (i) either party by giving the other party at least 6 months written notice,
until the end of the 10 years, after which the parties can terminate at any time or (ii) or by written agreement of all Shareholders,
in which case it shall terminate automatically on the date upon which all Ordinary Shares are owned by one Shareholder. The Agreement
also allows a Shareholder to terminate the agreement upon certain defaults committed by another Shareholder, as set forth in the Agreement.
This was a related party transaction and was
conducted at arm’s length. In addition to the Company’s board of directors providing approval for the Company to enter into
the Agreement, the Company’s audit committee approved the Company’s entry into the Agreement. The Board believes that this
joint venture will enhance the Company’s ability to provide therapeutic solutions to significant unmet medical needs and to develop
innovative botanical drugs to treat central nervous system (“CNS”) and oncology/ hematology diseases. The Company’s
Board of Directors believes that the joint venture has the potential to provide the Company with access to additional early-stage product
candidates that it would not otherwise have access to and to introduce the Company to early-stage opportunities, and therefore the Board
believes the joint venture is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
