On November 17, 2013, Mr. K. Ivan F. Gothner notified the Board of Directors of AgFeed Industries, Inc.’s (the “Company”) that he was resigning from the Board of Directors, effective as of November 18, 2013. Mr. Gothner’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company or its management regarding any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. As of November 18, 2013, Mr. Gothner no longer holds any positions with the Company.

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

As previously reported, on September 13, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of Shares (the “Agreement”) with Ningbo Tech-Bank Co., Ltd (“NTB”) and its subsidiary Good Charm International Development Ltd. (together, the “Purchasers”), whereby the Company would sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers would purchase and acquire from the Company, all of the outstanding capital stock of AgFeed Industries, Inc. (British Virgin Islands), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the parent company of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries (the “China Transaction”). The China Transaction is subject to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including an auction process and the entry by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) of an order approving the Agreement and the China Transaction.

On November 14, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries in bankruptcy notified the Bankruptcy Court that they had not received any qualifying bids, and as a result the auction process referenced above has been cancelled. They also notified the Bankruptcy Court that they intend to present the Purchasers as the highest and best bid for the Company’s Chinese assets at a Bankruptcy Court sales hearing scheduled for November 21, 2013.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Company’s shareholders are cautioned that trading in shares of the Company’s equity securities during the pendency of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s equity securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders in our Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its equity securities.
