(a) On April 13, 2009, AgFeed Industries, Inc. ("AgFeed" or the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market ("Nasdaq") advising the Company that the Company's issuance of common stock and warrants in a registered direct offering on December 31, 2008 (the "December 2008 Financing") violated the shareholder approval requirement of Marketplace Rule 5635(d)(2). Marketplace Rule 5635(d)(2) requires that a company obtain shareholder approval shareholder approval for the issuance of common stock or securities exercisable for common stock equal to 20% or more of the common stock outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock.

As we previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2009 in a letter to Nasdaq dated February 27, 2009, AgFeed agreed to seek shareholder approval at its 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders for its sale of common stock and warrants in the December transaction. In the letter and subsequent conversations with Nasdaq's staff, AgFeed also agreed to not effect exercises of the warrants prior to the date of shareholder approval.
The Company has scheduled its annual meeting for June 11, 2009.

Members of the Company's management having the right to vote 11,460,024 shares of the Company's common stock (representing approximately 30% of the outstanding common stock) have agreed to vote in favor of the ratification. The December 2008 Financing will be approved if a majority of the votes cast on the transaction at the annual meeting vote to approve it, not counting any votes represented by the shares purchased in the December transaction which are voted by an investor in that transaction.
