On August 29, 2013, AgFeed Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that the Staff had made a preliminary determination (a “Wells notice”) to recommend that the Commission file an enforcement action against the Company alleging that the Company violated the antifraud, reporting, books and records and internal controls provisions of the federal securities laws. The Wells notice was issued in connection with the previously disclosed Commission investigation into issues arising out of accounting errors and irregularities in the Company’s feed mill and legacy farms businesses in China, which resulted in errors and misstatements in the Company’s financial statements from 2007 through the second quarter of 2011. Separately, the Company has learned that certain current or former officers of the Company have also received Wells notices in the same investigation.

The Wells notices do not constitute a formal allegation or a determination that the Company or any of the officers violated any law. Upon receipt of a Wells notice, the recipient has the opportunity to make a “Wells Submission” presenting the recipient’s positions with respect to the Staff’s recommendation before the Staff makes a formal recommendation to the Commission regarding what action, if any, should be brought by the Commission. The Company does not intend to make a Wells Submission. The Company cannot predict with certainty whether any of the officers will make a Wells Submission or what the outcome of the above matters might be, including whether a lawsuit might be filed, the terms of any settlement and whether the Commission will approve any settlement.
