Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

On March 16, 2021, an indirectly wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Wetouch Technology Inc. (the “Company”), Sichuan Wetouch Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Wetouch”), entered into an Agreement of Compensation on Demolition (“Compensation Agreement”) with Sichuan Renshou Shigao Tianfu Investment Co., Ltd, a limited company owned by the local government (Sichuan Renshou”), for the withdrawal of our right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities and equipment on such land where we maintain our executive offices, research and development facilities and factories at No.29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan City, Sichuan, China (the “Property”). The Property, all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the Property are collectively referred to as “Properties”. The Compensation Agreement was executed and delivered as a result of guidelines (the “Guidelines”) published by the local government of The People’s Republic of China (“PRC” ) with respect to local environmental issues and a national overall plan on Tianfu New District, Meishan City, Sichuan, PRC. In accordance with the Guidelines, a project named “Chaisang River Ecological Wetland Park” is under construction in the areas where the manufacturing facilities and properties of the Company are located. As a result, Sichuan Wetouch must relocate. In consideration for such relocation, the owner of the buildings on the state-owned land will be compensated.

Under the Compensation Agreement, based on an appraisal report issued by a mutually agreed upon third party appraiser, Sichuan Wetouch will receive a compensation of RMB115.2 million (approximately $17.7 million based on an exchange rate of 6.5RMB per US $1.00), including RMB100.2 million ($15.4 million) based upon the appraised value of the Properties plus an extra 15% relocation bonus of RMB15.0 million ($2.3 million).

In order to minimize the interruption of our business, a newly acquired wholly-owned subsidiary of ours in Sichuan, China entered into a Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou on March 16, 2021. The Leaseback Agreement entitles us to lease back the Properties commencing from April 1, 2021 until December 31, 2021, at a monthly rent of RMB300,000 (approximately $46,154).

On March 18, 2021, Sichuan Wetouch received a total amount of RMB115.2 million (approximately $17.7 million) as the total amount of compensation from Sichuan Renshou.

We are actively searching for an appropriate parcel in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu for the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings. As of the date of this Current Report, we estimate that our capital needs for this acquisition and construction will be approximately RMB170.0 million (approximately $26.2 million), but there is no assurance that the estimated amount is sufficient to achieve our goals. We may need additional financing for our business development. In addition, we expect that this acquisition and construction will be completed prior to December 31, 2021, but there is no assurance and we may need extended time to achieve our business plan.

On March 22, 2021, the Company issued a press release reporting certain highlights of the relocation and the Compensation Agreement. The text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 8.01 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this Form 8-K in such filing.
