US$300,000,000
Class A Shares
Debt Securities
Warrants
Rights
Units
We may offer, issue and sell from time to time Class A shares of no par value (“Class A Shares”), debt securities, warrants, rights or units up to US$300,000,000 or its equivalent in any other currency, currency units, or composite currency or currencies in one or more issuances. We may sell any combination of these securities in one or more offerings.
This prospectus describes some of the general terms that may apply to these securities and the general manner in which they may be offered. The specific terms of any securities to be offered, and the specific manner in which they may be offered, will be described in a supplement to this prospectus or incorporated into this prospectus by reference. You should read this prospectus and any supplement carefully before you invest. Each prospectus supplement will indicate if the securities offered thereby will be listed or quoted on a securities exchange or quotation system.
The information contained or incorporated in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, or such prospectus supplement, as applicable, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of our securities.
Our Class A Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RETO.” On June 10, 2026, the last reported sales price of our Class A Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market was US$2.96 per share. As of June 24, 2026, there were 32,879,362 Class A Shares held by non-affiliates. Therefore, pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form F-3, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates (also referred to as “public float”) was approximately $97,322,911. Since our public float exceeds $75 million, this Registration Statement is filed pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form F-3, and the aggregate offering price of the securities we sell pursuant to this prospectus will not exceed $300,000,000. In no event will we sell securities registered on this Registration Statement in a public primary offering for an aggregate offering amount exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month period if our public float falls below $75 million, calculated in accordance with General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus, we have sold, pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3, an aggregate offering amount of approximately $1,428,571.
We may offer securities through underwriting syndicates managed or co-managed by one or more underwriters, through agents, or directly to purchasers. The prospectus supplement for each offering of securities will describe the plan of distribution for that offering. For general information about the distribution of securities offered, please see “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
The principal executive offices of ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. (“ReTo”) are located at c/o Beijing REIT Technology Development Co., Ltd., X-702, Tower A, 60 Anli Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China 100101, and its telephone number is (+86) 10-64827328. The registered office of ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. in the British Virgin Islands is located at Vistra Corporate Services Centre, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
In this prospectus, “we,” “us,” “our,” “our company,” the “Company,” or similar terms refer to ReTo Eco-Solutions, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise indicates. ReTo is a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). As a holding company with no material operations of its own, ReTo conducts substantially all of its operations through its subsidiaries established in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). Investors in the Class A Shares should be aware that they may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating entities, but rather are purchasing equity solely in ReTo, our BVI holding company, which does not directly own substantially all of our business in China conducted by our subsidiaries. Class A Shares registered under this prospectus are shares of our BVI holding company instead of shares of our subsidiaries in China. When used herein, the references to laws and regulations of “mainland China” are only to such laws and regulations of mainland China, excluding, for the purpose of this prospectus only, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. “China” or the “PRC” refers to the People’s Republic of China and the term “Chinese” has a correlative meaning for the purpose of this prospectus only.
As we conduct substantially all of our operations in China, we are subject to legal and operational risks associated with having substantially all of our operations in China, which risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless. The PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. We have relied on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, that as of the date of this prospectus, we are not directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we have not implemented any monopolistic behavior and our business does not involve large-scale collection of user data, implicate cybersecurity, or involve any other type of restricted industry. None of our PRC subsidiaries currently operate in an industry that prohibits or limits foreign investment. As a result, as advised by our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, other than those requisite for a domestic company in mainland China to engage in the businesses similar to those of our PRC subsidiaries, none of our PRC subsidiaries is required to obtain any permission from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), or any other governmental agency that is required to approve its current operations.
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”), effective on March 31, 2023, which requires the filing with the CSRC of the overseas offering and listing plans and the follow-on offering plans by PRC domestic companies under certain conditions, and the filing with the CSRC by their underwriters associated with such companies’ overseas securities offering and listing. The failure of the Company to submit the filing with CSRC timely may subject the Company to sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies, which may include fines and penalties on our operations in China, limitations on our operating privileges in China, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments or remittance of dividends by our PRC subsidiary in China, or other actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Class A Shares. “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in China – Approval of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offerings under PRC law, and if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval.”
In addition, any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers or any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless. The statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government regarding oversight of securities market, overseas offerings and listing of China-based companies, cybersecurity reviews, and anti-monopoly enforcement are official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued. Thus, it is highly uncertain what potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations or our ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or other PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or implementing rules that require our company or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before offering securities in the U.S. Any future Chinese, U.S., British Virgin Islands or other laws, rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising or other activities by companies with extensive operations in China could adversely affect our business and results of operations. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”), which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for a detailed description of various risks related to doing business in China and other information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase any of our securities.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) was enacted on December 18, 2020. According to the HFCAA, if the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, the SEC shall prohibit our Class A Shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S.
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments to its rules implementing the HFCAA. Such final rules establish procedures that the SEC will follow in (i) determining whether a registrant is a “Commission-Identified Issuer” (a registrant identified by the SEC as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction) and (ii) prohibiting the trading of an issuer that is a Commission-Identified Issuer for three consecutive years under the HFCAA. The SEC began identifying Commission-Identified Issuers for the fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2020.
Furthermore, on December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) issued its determination that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. This list does not include our auditor, YCM CPA INC. Our auditor is based in the U.S., registered with PCAOB and subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary.
On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 was signed into law, which amended the HFCAA (i) to reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two, and (ii) so that any foreign jurisdiction could be the reason why the PCAOB does not have complete access to inspect or investigate a company’s auditor. As it was originally enacted, the HFCAA applied only if the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate was due to a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction where the relevant public accounting firm is located. As a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the HFCAA now also applies if the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate the relevant accounting firm is due to a position taken by an authority in any foreign jurisdiction.
These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our securities, which could cause the market price of our Class A Shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded “over-the-counter” earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair investors’ ability to sell or purchase our Class A Shares when they wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Class A Shares.
As a holding company, ReTo relies on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its operating subsidiaries for cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to its shareholders or to service any expenses it may incur. Our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with mainland China accounting standards and regulations. In addition, under PRC law, each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If any of our PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to ReTo. To date, there have not been any such dividends or other distributions from our PRC subsidiaries to our subsidiary located outside of China, ReTo or its shareholders outside of China. Furthermore, as of the date of this prospectus, neither ReTo nor any of its subsidiaries have ever paid dividends or made distributions to ReTo’s shareholders. ReTo is permitted under PRC laws and regulations as an offshore holding company to provide funding to its PRC subsidiaries in China through shareholder loans or capital contributions, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration, approval and filing requirements. According to the relevant PRC regulations on foreign-invested enterprises in China, there are no quantity limits on ReTo’s ability to make capital contributions to its PRC subsidiaries. However, our PRC subsidiaries may not procure loans which exceed the higher of (i) difference between their total investment amount as recorded in the Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System and their respective registered capital and (ii) 3.5 times of their net worth. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities may continue to be transferred by ReTo to the PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be. We intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings for the development and growth of our business in China. We do not expect to pay dividends or distribute earnings in the foreseeable future.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, funds equivalent to approximately $2.7 million, $29.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, were provided to ReTo’s PRC subsidiaries as shareholder loans, which were accounted as loan receivable from the respective PRC subsidiary. These funds have been used by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries for their operations.
We maintain bank accounts in China, including cash in Renminbi in the amount of approximately RMB347,000 and cash in USD in the amount of approximately US$0.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Funds are transferred between ReTo and its subsidiaries for their daily operation purposes. The transfer of funds between our PRC subsidiaries are subject to the Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Private Lending Cases (2020 Second Revision, the “Provisions on Private Lending Cases”), which was implemented on January 1, 2021, to regulate the financing activities between natural persons, legal persons and unincorporated organizations. The Provisions on Private Lending Cases set forth that private lending contracts will be upheld as invalid under the circumstance that (i) the lender swindles loans from financial institutions for relending; (ii) the lender relends the funds obtained by means of a loan from another profit-making legal person, raising funds from its employees, illegally taking deposits from the public; (iii) the lender who has not obtained the lending qualification according to the law lends money to any unspecified object of the society for the purpose of making profits; (iv) the lender lends funds to a borrower when the lender knows or should have known that the borrower intended to use the borrowed funds for illegal or criminal purposes; (v) the lending is in violation of public orders or good morals; or (vi) the lending is in violation of mandatory provisions of laws or administrative regulations. We have relied on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, that the Provisions on Private Lending Cases does not prohibit using cash generated from one subsidiary to fund another subsidiary’s operations. We have not been notified of any other restriction which could limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to transfer cash between subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between ReTo and its subsidiaries.
Most of our cash is in Renminbi, and the PRC government could prevent the cash maintained in mainland China or Hong Kong from leaving, could restrict deployment of the cash into the business of our subsidiaries and restrict the ability to pay dividends.
Investing in our Class A Shares remains subject to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association currently adopted, as amended or as amended and restated from time to time and the BVI Business Companies Act (As Revised) and involves substantial risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of this prospectus for a discussion of certain risks and other factors that you should consider before purchasing our Class A Shares.

When used herein, the references to laws and regulations of “China” or the “PRC” are only to such laws and regulations of mainland China, excluding, for the purpose of this prospectus only, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
This prospectus contains information and statistics relating to China’s economy and the industries in which we operate derived from various publications issued by market research companies and PRC governmental entities, which have not been independently verified by us. The information in such sources may not be consistent with other information compiled in or outside of China.
For the sake of clarity, this prospectus follows the English naming convention of first name followed by last name, regardless of whether an individual’s name is Chinese or English. For example, the name of our Chief Operating Officer will be presented as “Xingyang Li”, even though, in Chinese, his name would be presented as “Li Xingyang”.
Our reporting and functional currency is the Renminbi. Solely for the convenience of the reader, this prospectus contains translations of some RMB amounts into U.S. dollars, at specified rates. Except as otherwise stated in this prospectus, all translations from RMB to U.S. dollars are made at RMB6.9931 to US$1.00, the rate published by the Federal Reserve Board on December 31, 2025. No representation is made that the RMB amounts referred to in this prospectus could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such rate.
Except as otherwise stated in this prospectus, all numbers of our Shares and related data have been updated to reflect the 10-for-1 share combination effective May 15, 2023 (the “2023 Share Combination”), the 10-for-1 share combination effective March 1, 2024 (the “2024 Share Combination”), the 10-for-1 share combination effective March 7, 2025 and the 5-for-1 share combination effective November 3, 2025 (the “2025 Share Combination”), and the 4-for-1 share combination effective May 18, 2026 (the “2026 Share Combination,” collectively, the “ Share Combinations”). On August 8, 2024, we (a) redesignated the existing common shares, par value US$0.10 each, as Class A Shares with the same rights as the existing common shares (the “2024 Share Redesignation”) and (b) created an additional 2,000,000 shares each to be designated as Class B Shares, with each share to entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes but with transfer restrictions, pre-emption rights and no right to any dividend or distribution of the surplus assets on liquidation. On May 12, 2025, our board of directors approved to amend and restate our M&A to adjust the par value of its existing Class A Shares from “par value $1.00 each” to “no par value.” On May 13, 2025, we filed the amended and restated M&A to reflect this adjustment with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands.
Our fiscal year end is December 31. References to a particular “fiscal year” are to our fiscal year ended December 31 of that calendar year.

Investors in our securities are not purchasing an equity interest in our operating entities in mainland China but instead are purchasing an equity interest in a British Virgin Islands holding company.
This summary highlights selected information that is presented in greater detail elsewhere, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus. It does not contain all of the information that may be important to you and your investment decision. Before investing in the securities that we are offering, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the matters set forth under the section of this prospectus captioned “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the financial statements and related notes and other information that we incorporate by reference herein, including, but not limited to, our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) and our other SEC reports.
Overview
We, through our operating subsidiaries in China, are engaged in the equipment used for the production of these eco-friendly construction materials. In addition, we provide consultation, design, project implementation and construction of urban ecological protection projects through our operating subsidiaries in China. We also provide parts, engineering support, consulting, technical advice and service, and other project-related solutions for our manufacturing equipment and environmental protection projects.
Due to China’s recent emphasis on environmental protection, we believe there is a unique opportunity to grow our company, which we expect will be driven by demand for our eco-friendly construction materials and equipment used to produce these materials as well as our project construction expertise. We believe our technological know-how, production capacity, reputation and offerings of products and services will enable us to seize this opportunity.
Our clients are located throughout mainland China, and internationally in the Middle East, Southeastern Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. We are actively pursuing additional clients for our products, equipment and projects, internationally in Bangladesh, North America and in additional provinces of China. We seek to establish long-term relationships with our clients by producing and delivering high-quality products and equipment and by providing technical support and consulting services after equipment is delivered and projects are completed.

Holding Company Structure
ReTo is a holding company incorporated as a business company in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) with no material operations of its own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiaries established in mainland China. Our equity structure is a direct holding structure: ReTo, the BVI entity listed in the U.S., controls ReTo Hengda, and other PRC operating entities through Sunoro Holdings. See “Prospectus Summary — History and Development of the Company.”
We face various risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in China. Our business operations are primarily conducted in China, and we are subject to complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals on offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, and oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy, which may impact our ability to conduct certain businesses, accept foreign investments, or list and conduct offerings on a United States or other foreign exchange. These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our Class A Shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors, or cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”
The PRC government’s significant discretion and authority in regulating our operations and its oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas by, and foreign investment in, China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. Implementation of industry-wide regulations in this nature may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China – The PRC government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time which could result in a material adverse change in our operation and/or the value of our Class A Shares.”
Risks and uncertainties arising from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and quickly evolving rules and regulations in China, could result in a material adverse change in our operations and cause our Class A Shares to decrease in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China – There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations. The rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice and uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.”
Cash and Other Assets Transfers between the Holding Company and Its Subsidiaries
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, funds equivalent to approximately $2.7 million, $29.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, were provided to the PRC subsidiaries as shareholder loans, which were accounted as loan receivable from the respective PRC subsidiary. These funds have been used by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries for their operations.
As of the date of this prospectus, there have not been any dividends or other distributions from our subsidiaries. ReTo, as a BVI holding company, may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its PRC subsidiaries for its cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to its shareholders, subject to ReTo’s M&A and the Act or to service any expenses and other obligations it may incur.
Within our direct holding structure, the cross-border transfer of funds from ReTo to its PRC subsidiaries is permitted under laws and regulations of the PRC currently in effect. Specifically, ReTo is permitted to provide funding to its PRC subsidiaries in the form of shareholder loans or capital contributions, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration, approval and filing requirements in China. There are no quantity limits on ReTo’s ability to make capital contributions to its PRC subsidiaries under the PRC law and regulations. However, the PRC subsidiaries may only procure shareholder loans from Sunoro Holdings or MeinMalzeBier in an amount equal to the difference between their respective registered capital and total investment amount as recorded in the Chinese Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System or 3.5 times of its net assets, at the discretion of such PRC subsidiary.

For additional information, see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China – PRC regulation on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control in currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offerings to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.”
Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules, the requirements of the M&A and the Act, the gross amount of any distribution that we make to investors with respect to our securities (including any amounts withheld to reflect PRC withholding taxes) will be taxable as a dividend, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Any proposed dividend would be subject to the M&A and the Act; specifically, ReTo may only pay a dividend if ReTo’s directors are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after the dividend is paid, the value of its assets will exceed its liabilities and it will be able to pay its debts as they fall due.
The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”) and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by PRC companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and the governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident. Pursuant to the tax agreement between mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the withholding tax rate in respect to the payment of dividends by a PRC enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise may be reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10%. However, if the relevant tax authorities determine that our transactions or arrangements are for the primary purpose of enjoying a favorable tax treatment, the relevant tax authorities may adjust the favorable withholding tax in the future. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the reduced 5% withholding rate will apply to dividends received by our Hong Kong subsidiary from our PRC subsidiaries. This withholding tax will reduce the amount of dividends we may receive from our PRC subsidiaries.
We maintain bank accounts in China, including cash in Renminbi in the amount of approximately RMB347,000 and cash in USD in the amount of approximately US$0.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Funds are transferred between ReTo and its subsidiaries for their daily operation purposes. The transfer of funds between our PRC subsidiaries are subject to the Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Private Lending Cases (2020 Second Revision, the “Provisions on Private Lending Cases”), which was implemented on January 1, 2021 to regulate the financing activities between natural persons, legal persons and unincorporated organizations. The Provisions on Private Lending Cases set forth that private lending contracts will be upheld as invalid under the circumstance that (i) the lender swindles loans from financial institutions for relending; (ii) the lender relends the funds obtained by means of a loan from another profit-making legal person, raising funds from its employees, illegally taking deposits from the public; (iii) the lender who has not obtained the lending qualification according to the law lends money to any unspecified object of the society for the purpose of making profits; (iv) the lender lends funds to a borrower when the lender knows or should have known that the borrower intended to use the borrowed funds for illegal or criminal purposes; (v) the lending is in violation of public orders or good morals; or (vi) the lending is in violation of mandatory provisions of laws or administrative regulations. We have relied on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, that the Provisions on Private Lending Cases does not prohibit using cash generated from one subsidiary to fund another subsidiary’s operations. We have not been notified of any other restriction which could limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to transfer cash between subsidiaries. We have adopted certain cash management policies that dictate the internal approval process on transferring funds between our holding company and our subsidiaries. Such policies dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of cash transfers. Each transfer of cash among our subsidiaries is subject to internal approvals from at least two manager-level personnel, with required procedures including submitting supporting documentation (such as payment receipts or invoices), responsible personnel reviewing the documentation, and executing the payment. A single employee is not allowed to complete each and every stage of a cash transfer, but rather only specific parts of the whole procedure.
3
There is no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on the ability of us or our subsidiaries to transfer cash. Most of our cash is in Renminbi, and the PRC government could prevent the cash maintained in our bank accounts in mainland China from leaving mainland China, could restrict deployment of the cash into the business of our subsidiaries and restrict the ability to pay dividends. For details regarding the restrictions on our ability to transfer cash between us, and our subsidiaries, see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China – The PRC government could prevent the cash maintained in our bank accounts in mainland China from leaving mainland China, restrict deployment of the cash into the business of its subsidiaries and restrict the ability to pay dividends to U.S. investors, which could materially adversely affect our operations.” We currently do not have cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between our BVI holding company and our subsidiaries.
Restrictions on Our Ability to Transfer Cash Out of China and to U.S. Investors
Our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, under PRC law, each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If any of our PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends to ReTo.
To address persistent capital outflows and the RMB’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, implemented a series of capital control measures in the subsequent months, including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments and shareholder loan repayments. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and our PRC subsidiaries’ dividends and other distributions may be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of mainland China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any.
Effect of Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”), which was signed into law on December 18, 2020, requires a foreign company to submit that it is not owned or manipulated by a foreign government or disclose the ownership of governmental entities and certain additional information, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect completely a foreign auditor that signs the company’s financial statements. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the Company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the Company’s securities will be prohibited from trading on a national exchange.
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted final amendments to its rules implementing the HFCAA. Such final rules establish procedures that the SEC will follow in (i) determining whether a registrant is a “Commission-Identified Issuer” (a registrant identified by the SEC as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction) and (ii) prohibiting the trading of an issuer that is a Commission-Identified Issuer for three consecutive years under the HFCAA. The SEC began identifying Commission-Identified Issuers for the fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2020. A Commission-Identified Issuer is required to comply with the submission and disclosure requirements in the annual report for each year in which it was identified. If a registrant is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer based on its annual report for the fiscal year ended, for example, September 30, 2021, the registrant will be required to comply with the submission or disclosure requirements in its annual report filing covering the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determination that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. This list did not include YCM CPA INC., our current auditor. Our auditor, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the CSRC and MOF, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong without any limitations on scope. However, uncertainties exist with respect to the implementation of this framework and there is no assurance that the PCAOB will be able to execute, in a timely manner, its future inspections and investigations in a manner that satisfies the Statement of Protocol. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary.
On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 was signed into law, which amended the HFCAA (i) to reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two, and (ii) so that any foreign jurisdiction could be the reason why the PCAOB does not have complete access to inspect or investigate a company’s auditor. As it was originally enacted, the HFCAA applied only if the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate was due to a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction where the relevant public accounting firm is located. As a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the HFCAA now also applies if the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate the relevant accounting firm is due to a position taken by an authority in any foreign jurisdiction. The denying jurisdiction does not need to be where the accounting firm is located.
These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our securities, including the possibility that the SEC may prohibit trading in our securities if the PCAOB cannot fully inspect or investigate our auditor and we fail to appoint a new auditor that is accessible to the PCAOB and that Nasdaq can delist our Class A Shares.
If it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Any audit reports not issued by auditors that are completely inspected by the PCAOB, or a lack of PCAOB inspections of audit work undertaken in China that prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditors’ audits and their quality control procedures, could result in a lack of assurance that our financial statements and disclosures are adequate and accurate, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the stock exchange.
For details on the effects of HFCAA on us, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in China – Our Class A Shares may be delisted under the HFCAA if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditor. The delisting of our Class A Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.”
Regulatory Permissions and Developments
We have been advised by our PRC Counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, that pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations in China, none of our PRC subsidiaries’ currently engaged business is stipulated on the Special Administrative Measures for the Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce (the “MOFCOM”) and the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China (“NDRC”) which the latest version entered into force on November 1, 2024 (2024 Version). Therefore, our PRC subsidiaries are able to conduct their business without being subject to restrictions imposed by the foreign investment laws and regulations of the PRC.
5
Currently, none of our PRC subsidiaries is required to obtain additional licenses or permits beyond a regular business license for their operations currently being conducted. Each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to obtain a regular business license from the local branch of the State Administration for Market Regulation (“SAMR”). Each of our PRC subsidiaries has obtained a valid business license for its respective business scope, and no application for any such license has been denied.
As of the date of this prospectus, neither ReTo nor any of its PRC subsidiaries is subject to permission requirements from the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) or any other entity that is required to approve of their respective operations. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
Among other things, the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”) and Anti-Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) which became effective in 2008 and amended and put into effect as from August 1, 2022 (the “Anti-Monopoly Law”), established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. Such regulation requires, among other things, that the MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor acquires control of a PRC domestic enterprise or a foreign company with substantial PRC operations, if certain thresholds under the Provisions of the State Council on the Standard for Declaration of Concentration of Business Operators, issued by the State Council in 2008 and amended on January 22, 2024, are triggered. Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law requires that transactions which involve the national security, the examination on the national security shall also be conducted according to the relevant provisions of the State Council. In addition, the PRC Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment which became effective in January 2021 require acquisitions by foreign investors of PRC companies engaged in military-related or certain other industries that are crucial to national security be subject to security review before consummation of any such acquisition.
On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC governmental authorities made public the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. As official guidance and related implementation rules on these opinions have not been issued yet, the interpretation of these opinions remains unclear at this stage. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in China – Approval of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offerings under PRC law, and if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval.”
On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 Version) was promulgated and became effective on February 15, 2022, which iterates that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 Version), further elaborates the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad. We have relied on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, that as a result of: (i) we do not hold personal information on more than one million users in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities, we are not required to apply for a cybersecurity review under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 Version).
6
As advised by our PRC legal counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, the PRC governmental authorities may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, including the interpretation of the scope of “critical information infrastructure operators.” In anticipation of the strengthened implementation of cybersecurity laws and regulations and the continued expansion of our business, we may face challenges in addressing its requirements and make necessary changes to our internal policies and practices in data processing. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review made by the CAC on such basis, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions in such respect.
On August 20, 2021, the SCNPC promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law, which integrates the scattered rules with respect to personal information rights and privacy protection and took effect on November 1, 2021. Personal information refers to information related to identified or identifiable natural persons which is recorded by electronic or other means and excluding anonymized information. The Personal Information Protection Law provides that a personal information processor could process personal information only under prescribed circumstances such as with the consent of the individual concerned and where it is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract to which such individual is a party to the contract. If a personal information processor shall provide personal information to overseas parties, various conditions shall be met, which includes security evaluation by the national network department and personal information protection certification by professional institutions. The Personal Information Protection Law raises the protection requirements for processing personal information, and many specific requirements of the Personal Information Protection Law remain to be clarified by the CAC, other regulatory authorities, and courts in practice. We may be required to make further adjustments to our business practices to comply with the personal information protection laws and regulations.
None of our PRC subsidiaries currently operates in an industry that prohibits or limits foreign investment. As a result, as advised by our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, other than those requisite for a domestic company in mainland China to engage in the businesses similar to those of our PRC subsidiaries, none of our PRC subsidiaries is required to obtain any permission from Chinese authorities, including the CSRC, the CAC, or any other governmental agency that is required to approve its current operations. However, if our PRC subsidiaries do not receive or maintain the approvals, or we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that our PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approval in the future, we may be subject to investigations by competent regulators, fines or penalties, ordered to suspend our PRC subsidiaries’ relevant operations and rectify any non-compliance, prohibited from engaging in relevant business or conducting any offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our PRC subsidiaries’ operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless. As of the date of this prospectus, we and our PRC subsidiaries have received from PRC authorities all requisite licenses, permissions, or approvals needed to engage in the businesses currently conducted in China, and no permission or approval has been denied.
On February 17, 2023, CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) together with five guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures lay out the filing regulation arrangement for both direct and indirect overseas listing by PRC domestic companies, and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listing in overseas markets. Any future securities offerings and listings outside of mainland China by our Company, including but not limited to, follow-on offerings, secondary listings and going private transactions, will be subject to the filing requirements with the CSRC under the Trial Measures. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any formal inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or objection from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities with respect to our listing on Nasdaq. Upon closing of the first offering of securities under this Form F-3, filing shall be submitted to the CSRC within 3 business days under the Trial Measures. As the Trial Measures were newly published and there is uncertainty with respect to the filing requirements and their implementation, we cannot be sure that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner, or at all. Any failure or perceived failure of us to fully comply with such new regulatory requirements could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in China – Approval of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offerings under PRC law, and if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to obtain such approval.”
7
As of the date of this prospectus, except as disclosed above, neither ReTo nor any of our PRC subsidiaries, (i) is required to obtain permissions from the PRC authorities, including the CSRC or the CAC, in connection with our issuance of securities to foreign investors, or (ii) has been denied such permissions by any PRC authority. We are subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that we inadvertently conclude that the permission or approvals discussed here are not required, that applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that we and our PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain approvals in the future.
Recent Developments
Divestiture in December 2024
On December 30, 2024, ReTo entered into a share sale agreement (the “Share Sale Agreement”) with Zhao Duan Wen, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of its shares in REIT Holdings to the buyer for a purchase price of US$80,000. REIT Holdings is the holding company of multiple indirect subsidiaries of ReTo, which were engaged in in the business of manufacture and distribution of eco-friendly construction materials, ecological restoration projects and software development services and solutions utilizing Internet of Things technologies (the “December 2024 Divestiture”). The board of directors of the Company approved the December 2024 Divestiture based on considerations that these lines of business had experienced significant losses over the years and that the Company plans to focus on existing and new businesses that are more profitable and promising. The terms of the Share Sale Agreement, including the purchase price, were negotiated based on a valuation report of a third-party appraisal firm.
Pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement, the buyer shall bear any debts, claims and liabilities of REIT Holdings existing or potentially contingent prior to the closing of the December 2024 Divestiture, or any default liabilities arising out of the management of the business. The buyer may not make any claim under the Share Sale Agreement, including for a breach of warranty, unless full details of the claim have been notified to ReTo within 12 months from the closing. The Share Sale Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. ReTo’s total liability for any claims, subject to exclusions, under the Share Sale Agreement is limited to US$100,000.
The December 2024 Divestiture closed on December 31, 2024. Following the December 2024 Divestiture, we are no longer engaged in the business of manufacture and distribution of eco-friendly construction materials, ecological restoration projects and software development services and solutions utilizing Internet of Things technologies and focus on research and production of environmental protection technologies and equipment, intelligent equipment and machineries and application of new energy technologies.
Share Combination in February 2025
On February 11, 2025, ReTo’s board of directors approved the 2025 Share Combination pursuant to section 40A of the Act of Class A Shares at a ratio of 10-to-1 so that every 10 shares (or part thereof) were combined into one (1) share (with the fractional shares rounding up to the next whole share). As a result of the 2025 Share Combination, the par value of the Class A Shares was changed from $0.1 per share to $1.0 per share, effective on March 7, 2025.
Acquisition of MeinMalzeBier in April 2025
On April 25, 2025, ReTo completed the acquisition (the “MeinMalzeBier Acquisition”) of a 51% equity interest in MeinMalzeBier, a BVI business company, pursuant to a share exchange agreement, dated April 25, 2025 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among ReTo, MeinMalzeBier, and MeinMalzeBier’s existing shareholders. The total consideration for the MeinMalzeBier Acquisition consisted of $3,978,000 in cash and 234,000 newly issued Class A Shares, with an aggregate value of $15,912,000. All the 234,000 Class A Shares issued as consideration were placed in escrow and are subject to a three-year earnout period based on the post-closing financial performance of MeinMalzeBier’s two wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries, Shenzhen Melody Catering Management Co., Ltd. (“Melody”) and Dirong Century Big Data Technology Co., Ltd. (“Dirong”). The securities issued were made pursuant to exemptions from registration under Regulation S and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act.

Our Strategies
We plan to expand our global footprint and promote sales of our ecological and environmental protection equipment, mining equipment, and smart craft beer brewing equipment across the world. To achieve these goals, we are pursuing the following strategies:
Continue to upgrade existing products and develop new products. We are committed to the ongoing research and development of new products addressing specific customer needs. Our plans include advancing the technology and design of our equipment and introducing new product models, such as the large-scale RT18 machine for solid waste utilization, various types of mining equipment, and smart craft beer machines, among others. We believe scientific and technological innovations will help our Company achieve its long-term strategic objectives.
Increase our revenue and market share by expanding our business network internationally. In order to expand our international market share, we plan to add more distributors in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. We plan to change our advertising strategies to reach new customers through new methods, such as digital marketing. We are striving to expand our international market, aiming to increase our exports to countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, Algeria in North Africa, and India in Asia. We have participated, and will continue to participate, in targeted international marketing events, such as seminars, workshops, and trade shows, where we can meet potential customers, promote our products and deepen our network to further expand our sales. At the same time, we plan to increase investment in marketing and promotion in the international market, especially in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, such as by participating in various exhibitions, shows, forum or conferences and developing agent relationships, to effectively leverage our established network of agency cooperation there.
11
Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We intend to continue to pursue expansion opportunities in existing and new markets, as well as in core and adjacent categories through strategic acquisitions. Specifically, we are seeking to acquire companies engaged in manufacturing solar energy facilities in an effort to further diversify our business. We believe the demand for such eco-friendly equipment and devices are and will continue to be in greater demand in the established economies. In addition, in light of China’s ongoing economic and social development, along with the anticipated demographic shift toward an aging population, we have identified growth potential in the health and wellness industry. Accordingly, we plan to leverage our existing expertise in ecological restoration and intelligent technologies to explore commercial ventures in the wellness sector.

Corporate Structure
The chart below summarizes our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus:

14
Foreign Private Issuer Status
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. For example:
| ● | we are not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently, as a domestic public company; |
| ● | for interim reporting, we are permitted to comply solely with our home country requirements, which are less rigorous than the rules that apply to domestic public companies; |
| ● | we are not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation; |
| ● | we are exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; |
| ● | we are not required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; and |
| ● | we are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction. |
Implications of Being a Controlled Company
We are a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, because REIT International will be able to exercise 97.60% of the aggregate voting power of our total issued and outstanding Shares. For so long as we are a “controlled company”, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:
| ● | an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors; |
| ● | an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and |
| ● | an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors. |
Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements. Our status as a “controlled company” could cause our Class A Shares to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm the trading price of Class A Shares.

Investing in our securities involves risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and described under “Risk Factors” under the heading “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in the 2025 Annual Report, which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act that are incorporated herein by reference, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. In addition to those risk factors, there may be additional risks and uncertainties of which management is not aware or focused on or that management deems immaterial. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. See sections titled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Information by Reference” of this prospectus.
Risks Related to this Offering
Issuances of securities under this prospectus will cause dilution to existing shareholders, and future offerings under this shelf registration statement may result in additional dilution.
We may issue and sell a substantial number of additional securities pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. Any such issuance will dilute the ownership interests of our existing shareholders, and the degree of dilution may be significant depending on the number of securities issued and the prices at which they are sold. Investors purchasing securities in this offering may experience immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of their investment, and existing shareholders may experience dilution in their percentage ownership, voting power and earnings per share.
In addition, the registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus forms a part registers securities that may be offered and sold by us from time to time in one or more future offerings. We may conduct additional offerings under this shelf registration statement, subject to market conditions and applicable regulatory limitations, which could result in further dilution to existing shareholders. Because the timing, size and pricing of any future offerings will be determined at the time of sale, investors will not be able to assess the actual extent of dilution at the time they make an investment decision.
Furthermore, subject to applicable securities laws and regulatory requirements, we have broad discretion to determine the timing, size, pricing and other terms of any offerings conducted under this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. As a result, investors purchasing securities in this offering or in future offerings may not be able to evaluate in advance the economic impact of subsequent issuances, including the dilutive effect on their investment.
The market price of our securities may decline as a result of future issuances of equity securities.
Future issuances of equity securities, including issuances under this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, may dilute existing shareholders and increase the number of our securities available for trading in the public market. As a result, the market price of our securities could decline, and investors who purchase our securities in this offering may not be able to resell their securities at or above the price they paid for them, or at all.
In addition, the anticipation of future issuances of equity securities, even if such issuances do not ultimately occur, may adversely affect the market price of our securities. Any decline in the market price of our securities could result in a loss of all or part of an investor’s investment and may be exacerbated by general market volatility, limited trading liquidity or adverse market conditions.

Offer Statistics and Expected Timetable
We may sell from time to time pursuant to this prospectus (as may be detailed in one or more prospectus supplements) an indeterminate number of securities as shall have a maximum aggregate offering price of US$200,000,000. The actual price of the securities that we will offer pursuant hereto will depend on a number of factors that may be relevant as of the time of offer. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3, in no event will we sell securities pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with a value of more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our Class A Shares held by non-affiliates in any 12 calendar month period, so long as the aggregate market value of our Class A Shares held by non-affiliates is less than US$75,000,000. In the event that subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the aggregate market value of our outstanding Class A Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds US$75,000,000, then the one-third limitation on sales shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to this registration statement.

Depending on future events and others changes in the business climate, we may determine at a later time to use the net proceeds for different purposes.

27
We may issue rights to purchase the Class A Shares, debt securities or other securities. Rights may be issued independently or together with any other offered security and may or may not be transferable by the person purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies, or other financial institutions, as rights agent that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.
The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:
| ● | the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
| ● | the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights; |
| ● | the exercise price for the rights; |
| ● | the conditions to the completion of the rights offering; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the right will expire; |

| ● | the extent to which the rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities; and |

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, subject to the M&A and the Act. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.
If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters, or dealers, or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
28
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:
| ● | the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately; |
| ● | any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and |
| ● | any additional terms of the governing unit agreement. |
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any units. The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.
29
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits at the date of this prospectus:
| ● | political and economic stability, with modern and flexible companies legislation; |
| ● | developed common law legal system with an effective judicial system, including a well-respected commercial court with ultimate appeal to the Privy Council; |
| ● | tax neutrality, meaning the BVI does not add any extra layer of taxes (ie. no income tax, corporation tax or capital gains tax); and |
| ● | the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions, no statutory financial assistance restrictions; and the availability of world-class professional and support services. |
However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the British Virgin Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | the British Virgin Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and |
| ● | British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States. |
There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the British Virgin Islands would:
| ● | recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers to impose liabilities predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or |
| ● | entertain original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities law of any state in the United States. |
Although there is no statutory enforcement in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the British Virgin Islands is not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the British Virgin Islands would recognize as a valid judgment, a final and conclusive judgment in personam obtained in the federal or state courts in the United States under which a sum of money is payable (other than a sum of money payable in respect of multiple damages, taxes or other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalty) and would give a judgment based thereon provided that:
| ● | such courts had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment, |
| ● | such courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the British Virgin Islands, |
| ● | such judgment was not obtained by fraud, |
| ● | the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the British Virgin Islands, |
| ● | no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the British Virgin Islands and |
| ● | there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. |
However, the British Virgin Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a punitive judgment of a United States court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws in the United States without retrial on the merits if such judgment is determined by the courts of the British Virgin Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that may be regarded as fines, penalties or punitive in nature.
30
Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.
Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in mainland China, and substantially all of our assets are located in mainland China. A majority of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of the PRC and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of mainland China would:
| ● | recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or |
| ● | entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. |
Our PRC counsel, Yuan Tai Law Offices, has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the British Virgin Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in mainland China will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the British Virgin Islands.
Anti-money Laundering
In order comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering the Company is required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may (among other things) require members to provide evidence to verify their identity. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, the Company also may delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.
If any person resident in the British Virgin Islands knows or suspects (or has reasonable ground for knowing or suspecting) that another person is engaged in money laundering, terrorist financing or proliferating financing and the information or other matter for that knowledge or suspicion (or giving reasonable grounds for such knowledge or suspicion) came to their attention in the course of their trade, profession, business or employment the person will be required to disclose the information or other matter to the Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands as soon as reasonably practicable after it comes to their attention, pursuant to the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Act 1997 (as amended). Such a disclosure shall not be treated as a breach of any restriction imposed by any enactment or otherwise.
31

You should consult your own tax advisors prior to acquiring any of our securities.
32

In addition, subject to the M&A and the Act, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders. In some cases, we or dealers acting for us or on our behalf may also repurchase securities and reoffer them to the public by one or more of the methods described above. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

| ● | at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| ● | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| ● | at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
| ● | at negotiated prices. |
33
Sale through Underwriters or Dealers
If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer the securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The applicable prospectus supplement will include the names of the underwriters or dealers and the terms of the transaction, including compensation for the underwriters or dealers.
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The applicable prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its commonly reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment. We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those shares. The terms of any such sales will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Offered securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in the supplement relating to that offering. Unless otherwise specified in connection with a particular offering of securities, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
As one of the means of direct issuance of offered securities, we may utilize the services of an entity through which it may conduct an electronic “dutch auction” or similar offering of the offered securities among potential purchasers who are eligible to participate in the auction or offering of such offered securities, if so described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
34
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, each series of offered securities will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
Derivative Transactions and Hedging
We and the underwriters may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters. The underwriters may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the securities.
Loans of Securities
We may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third parties that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement.
General Information
Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our affiliates, in the ordinary course of business for which they may receive customary compensation.
Conflicts of Interest
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements with us, to indemnification by us relating to material misstatements and omissions in our offering documents. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in their ordinary course of business.
Except for securities issued upon a reopening of a previous series, each series of offered securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom offered securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in such offered securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The offered securities may or may not be listed on a securities exchange. No assurance can be given that there will be a market for the offered securities.

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our M&A, the Act or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Except as otherwise disclosed in this prospectus, there have been no reportable material changes that have occurred since December 31, 2025, and that have not been described in a report on Form 6-K furnished under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

PROSPECTUS
, 2026
No dealer, salesperson or any other person is authorized to give any information or make any representations in connection with any offering pursuant to this prospectus other than those contained in this prospectus and, if given or made, the information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by us. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security other than the securities offered by this prospectus, or an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities by anyone in any jurisdiction in which the offer or solicitation is not authorized or is unlawful.
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Act allows a BVI company to indemnify any current or former director against any expense, judgment, fine or amount paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings brought against the director because the director served as a director of the company if: (i) the director acted honestly and in good faith and in what the director believed to be in the best interests of the company; and (iii) (in the case of criminal proceedings) the director had no reasonable cause to believe that the director’s conduct was unlawful. An indemnity that breaches the Act is void.
The Act allows a BVI company to pay any expenses incurred by any current or former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings before the proceedings are finally concluded if the company is given an undertaking from, or on behalf of, the director to repay all amounts paid by the company if it is ultimately determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company.
With regard to conflicts of interest, any director of ReTo who is interested in a transaction into which ReTo has entered or will enter may vote on a matter relating to that transaction as long as he or she has disclosed the interest to each other director of ReTo.

| (a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement, |
provided, however, that subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subsections is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3. |
| (5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser: |
| (i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and |
| (ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
II-2
| (6) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
| (b) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
| (d) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
| (f) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act, or the Act, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under section 305(b)(2) of the Act. |
