QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

In this proxy statement, we refer to Shineco, Inc. as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

This proxy statement describes the proposals on which our Board would like you, as a stockholder, to vote at the Meeting, which will take place on June 8, 2022 at 9:00 p.m., EST, at Room 3310, North Tower, Zhengda Center No.20, Jinhe East Rd, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100020 , People’s Republic of China.

Stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon proposals to (i) re-elect seven directors to the Board to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their earlier resignation or removal, (ii) provide an advisory vote on executive compensation (the “Say-on-Pay Proposal”); (iii) recommend, on a non-binding advisory basis, the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers (the “Say-on-Frequency Proposal”); and (iv) ratify the appointment of Assensture PAC (“Assensture”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

Who can vote at the Meeting?

Stockholders who owned shares of our common stock on the Record Date may attend and vote at the Meeting. There were 10,842,585 shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of common stock shall have one vote per share. Information about the stockholdings of our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders is contained in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 11 of this proxy statement.

What is the proxy card?

The card enables you to appoint Xiqiao Liu as your representative at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing this person to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, it is strongly recommended to complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxy will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to his best judgment.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the director nominees listed in proposal No. 1, and “FOR” proposal No. 2, No.3 and No. 4.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Certain of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record/Registered Stockholders

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date, and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting.

What are broker non-votes?

Broker non-votes are shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and have not received voting instructions from their clients. Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. The proposed ratification of the appointment of Assensture as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers are entitled to vote uninstructed shares only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Assensture as our independent registered public accounting firm.

If my bank, broker or other nominee holds my shares in “street name,” will such party vote my shares for me?

For all “non-routine” matters, not without your direction. Your broker, bank or other nominee will be permitted to vote your shares on any “non-routine” proposal only if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote. Under applicable stock exchange rules, brokers, banks or other nominees have the discretion to vote your shares on routine matters if you fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares with respect to such matters. The proposals to be voted upon by our stockholders described in this proxy statement, except for the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, are “non-routine” matters, and brokers, banks and other nominees therefore cannot vote on these proposals without your instructions. The proposed ratification of the appointment of Assensture as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers, banks and other nominees are entitled to vote uninstructed shares only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Assensture as our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, it is important that you instruct your broker, bank or nominee on how you wish to vote your shares.

How do I vote my shares if I hold my shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee?

If you hold your shares as a beneficial owner through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should have received instructions on how to vote your shares from your broker, bank or other nominee. Please follow their instructions carefully. You must provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like at the Meeting.

How do I vote?

If you were a stockholder of record of the Company’s common stock on the Record Date, you may vote in person at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy. Each share of common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote, in each case, on the applicable proposals.

(1)

You may submit your proxy by mail. You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing, and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid, and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to the Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

	●	as you instruct, and

	●	according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

Mark, sign, and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or return it to Anna Kotlova, Transhare Corporation, 2849 Executive Dr, Suite 200, Clearwater FL 33762.

	●	FOR each nominee for director;

	●	FOR passing an advisory vote on executive compensation;

	●	FOR the selection of Assensture as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022; and

	●	According to the best judgment of Xiqiao Liu, the Chief Operating Officer, if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

	(2)	You may vote in person at the Meeting. We will pass out written ballots to any stockholder of record who wants to vote at the Meeting.

	(5)	You may vote via fax. You may fax your signed voting card to +1.727.269.5616.

What happens if I abstain?

If you abstain, whether by proxy or in person at the Meeting, or if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to abstain your abstention will not be counted for or against the proposals, but will be counted as “present” at the Meeting in determining whether or not a quorum exists.

If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card, and then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible, so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

May I change my mind after I return my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. You may do this by:

	●	sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s executive offices stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;

	●	signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Secretary before the polls close at the Meeting; or

	●	attending the Meeting and voting in person.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the stockholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each director and proposal presented to the stockholders.

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote in person at the Meeting.

What vote is required to re-elect the director nominees as directors of the Company?

The re-election of each nominee for director requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote in the re-election of directors at the Meeting.

How many votes are required to approve the executive compensation?

The proposal to approve executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote.

How many votes are required to appoint Assensture as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022?

The proposal to appoint Assensture to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots, and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed, except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

Where do I find the voting results of the Meeting?

We will announce voting results at the Meeting and also file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting the voting results.

Who can help answer my questions?

You can contact Xiqiao Liu at (+86) 10- 87227366 or by sending a letter to the offices of the Company at Room 3310, North Tower, Zhengda Center No.20, Jinhe East Rd, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100020 , People’s Republic of China, with any questions about proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

Date, Time, and Place of the Meeting		The Meeting will be held on June 8, 2022, at 9:00 p.m., EST, at Room 3310, North Tower, Zhengda Center No.20, Jinhe East Rd, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100020 , People’s Republic of China, or such other date, time, and place to which the Meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Purpose of the Meeting		At the Meeting, the Company will ask stockholders to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

Re-elect seven directors to the Board to serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their earlier resignation or removal;

	2.	To hold an advisory vote on executive compensation;

	4.	Ratify the appointment of Assensture as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

Record Date and Voting Power		Our Board fixed the close of business on April 11, 2022, as the record date for the determination of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to notice of, and to vote on, the matters presented at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 10,842,585 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

Quorum and Required Vote		A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the meeting if a majority of the common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., shares held by brokers on behalf of their customers, which may not be voted on certain matters because the brokers have not received specific voting instructions from their customers with respect to such matters) will be counted solely for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting. Proposal No. 1 (re-election of seven directors) requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote in the re-election of directors at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the re-election of directors; and Proposal No. 2 (ratification of Say-on-Pay Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal. Proposal No. 3 (ratification of Say-on-Frequency Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal. Proposal No. 4 (ratification of appointment of Assensture to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022) requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Revocability of Proxies		Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by (A) sending to our Secretary, at Shineco, Inc., Room 3310, North Tower, Zhengda Center No.20, Jinhe East Rd, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100020, People’s Republic of China, either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy or (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares, or (B) by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

Proxy Solicitation Costs		The cost of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Meeting, will be borne by the Company. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly. The solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, and personal solicitation by officers, directors, and other employees of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid to such individuals.

No Right of Appraisal		None of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation, or our Bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the Meeting. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent on any of the proposals presented at the Meeting.

Who Can Answer Your Questions about Voting Your Shares		You can contact Xiqiao Liu at (+86) 10-58693201 or by sending a letter to the offices of the Company at Room 3310, North Tower, Zhengda Center No.20, Jinhe East Rd, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100020, People’s Republic of China, with any questions about proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board consists of seven directors, all of whom have been nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board (the “Nominating Committee”) and approved by our Board to stand for re-election as directors of the Company. Unless such authority is withheld, proxies will be voted for the re-election of the persons named below, each of whom has been designated as a nominee. If, for any reason, any nominee/director becomes unavailable for re-election, the proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee(s) as the Board may propose.

We believe that the collective skills, experiences, and qualifications of our directors provide our Board with the expertise and experience necessary to advance the interests of our stockholders. While the Nominating Committee of our Board does not have any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by each of our directors, the Nominating Committee uses a variety of criteria to evaluate the qualifications and skills necessary for each member of the Board. In addition to the individual attributes of each of our current directors described below, we believe that our directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values, consistent with our longstanding values and standards. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, exhibit commitment to enhancing stockholder value, and have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on their past experiences.

The director nominees recommended by the Board are as follows:

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

Board and Committee Independence

The Board determines whether each of our directors is considered independent. For a director to be considered independent, the director must meet the bright-line independence standards under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board must also affirmatively determine that, in its opinion, each director has no relationship that would interfere with the directors’ exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the director’s responsibilities. In addition to the Nasdaq listing standards, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. The Board has determined that the following nominees satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq: Jin Liu, Yanzeng An, Mike Zhao, and Hu Li.

Board Committees and Meetings

The Board held one meeting during fiscal year 2021. No director attended fewer than 75% the aggregate number of all meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served during fiscal year 2021. The Company expects the directors to attend the Meeting either in person or by conference call.

Board Committees

The Board has created three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating Committee. The Board has adopted a formal, written charter for each of the committees under which each committee operates. The charters can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations tab on the Company’s website at https://www.biosisi.com. As a matter of routine corporate governance, each committee intends to review its charter and practices on an annual basis to determine whether its charter and practices are consistent with listing standards of Nasdaq.

Committee Composition

Director	Audit Committee	Compensation Committee	Nominating Committee
Jin Liu	(1)(2)(3)	(1)

Yanzeng An	(1)		(1)(2)

Hu Li	(1)	(1)

Mike Zhao		(1)(2)	(1)

(1)	Committee member.

(2)	Committee chair.

(3)	Our board has determined that we have at least one “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC and that is Jin Liu.

Audit Committee

Upon re-election, Jin Liu, Yanzeng An, and Hu Li will continue to be members of our Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), where Mr. Jin Liu shall continue to serve as the chairman. All members of our Audit Committee satisfy the independence standards promulgated by the SEC and by Nasdaq as such standards apply specifically to members of Audit Committees.

We have adopted and approved a charter for the Audit Committee. In accordance with our Audit Committee Charter, our Audit Committee shall perform several functions, including:

	●	evaluating the independence and performance of, and assessing the qualifications of, our independent auditor, and engaging such independent auditor;

Under Chinese law, we may only terminate employment agreements without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement is scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty to our company, where the employee has committed a crime or the employee’s actions or inactions have resulted in a material adverse effect to us. At this time, we have no employment agreements with any of our executive officers.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires our directors, officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other of our equity securities. To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, as of the date of this proxy, all Section 16(a) filings applicable to officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders were made.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by any person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, by directors and certain executive officers, and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 - ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The SEC has adopted final rules requiring most public companies to provide stockholders with periodic advisory (non-binding) votes on executive compensation, also referred to as “say-on-pay” proposals, the frequency of holding say-on-pay vote. The Company presenting the following proposal, which gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s compensation for the named executive officers listed under “Executive Compensation” in this proxy statement and hold such say-on-pay vote every three years, by voting for or against the following resolution.

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby approved.”

Pursuant to Rule 14a-21 of the Exchange Act, this vote will not be binding on the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board of Directors, creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors or any additional fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors or restricting or limiting the ability of stockholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee, however, may take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Required Stockholder Vote and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

In voting to approve the above resolution, stockholders may vote for the resolution, against the resolution or abstain from voting. This matter will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. An abstention is effectively treated as a vote cast against this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE

“FOR” THE RESOLUTION IN THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL

PROPOSAL NO. 3 - ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF
FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Proposal

The SEC has also adopted final rules requiring most public companies to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of holding the Say-On-Pay votes. Accordingly, as required by the SEC’s rules, the Company is including this proposal to give its stockholders the opportunity to inform it as to how often they wish the Company to include a Say-On-Pay Proposal, similar to Proposal No. 3, in our proxy statements.

The Company is presenting this proposal, which gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to inform the Company as to whether you wish it to hold an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation once every one year, two years, or three years, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote for every three (3) years as the desired frequency for the Company to hold a non-binding, advisory vote of the stockholders on executive compensation. The Company believes this frequency is appropriate for the reasons set forth below:

●

The Company’s equity compensation program for the named executive officers is designed to support long-term value creation, and a vote every three years will allow the stockholders to better judge the equity compensation program in relation to the Company’s long-term performance. The Company strives to ensure management’s interests are aligned with stockholders’ interests to support long-term value creation through its equity compensation program. To that end, the Company grants equity awards to vest over multi-year periods of service to encourage its named executive officers to focus on long-term performance, and recommend a vote every three years, which would allow the equity compensation to be evaluated over a similar time-frame and in relation to long-term performance.

●

A vote every three years will provide the Board and the Compensation Committee with the time to thoroughly respond to stockholders’ sentiments and implement any necessary changes. The Board and the compensation committee will carefully review changes to the executive compensation to maintain the effectiveness and credibility of the program, which is important in motivating and retaining the Company’s named executive officers. The Board therefore believes that a vote every three years is an appropriate frequency to provide the Board and the compensation committee sufficient time to thoughtfully consider stockholder’s input and to implement any changes to the equity compensation program, in light of the timing that would be required to implement any decisions related to such changes.

●

The Company will be open to input from our stockholders regarding the executive compensation program during the period between stockholder votes. The Company is open to input from stockholders regarding board and governance matters, as well as the equity compensation program. The Company believes that the stockholders’ ability to contact it and the Board at any time to express specific views on executive compensation, hold it accountable to stockholders and reduce the need for and value of more frequent advisory votes on executive compensation.

Required Stockholder Vote and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be the option recommended (on a non-binding advisory basis) by the stockholders under this proposal. An abstention will have no impact on the vote on this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE “3 YEARS” SELECTION IN THE SAY-ON-FREQUENCY PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

While stockholder ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accountants is not required by our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, the Audit Committee and management believe that it is desirable and a matter of good corporate practice for stockholders to ratify the Company’s selection of the independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee has selected Assensture to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022. Therefore, we are requesting that stockholders approve the proposal to ratify the appointment of Assensture as our independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee values the input of our stockholders. In the event that stockholders do not approve this proposal, the Audit Committee may reconsider this appointment.

We have been advised by Assensture that neither the firm nor any of its associates had any relationship during the last fiscal year with our Company other than the usual relationship that exists between independent registered public accountant firms and their clients. Representatives of Assensture are not expected to attend the Meeting in person and therefore are not expected to be available to respond to any questions. As a result, representatives of Assensture will not make a statement at the Meeting.

The Board recommends that you vote “for” ratifying the appointment of ASSENSTURE to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the FISCAL year endING June 30, 2022.

Change of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2021 (the “November 4 Form 8-K”), on October 29, 2021, the Company decided to change its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. On October 29, 2021, the Company’s audit committee approved the appointment of Assensture as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and the dismissal of Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”) from that role.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Centurion on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Centurion’s satisfaction, would have caused Centurion to make reference thereto in their reports, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) except that Centurion advised the Company of material weaknesses related to ineffective disclosure controls and procedures as the Company did not have a Chief Financial Officer that is familiar with the accounting and reporting requirements of a U.S. publicly-listed company, and it did not have U.S. GAAP full-time qualified personnel in the accounting department to monitor the recording of the daily transactions and the lack of segregation of duties for accounting personnel who prepared and reviewed the journal entries during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021.

The Company provided Centurion with a copy of the disclosures made within the November 4 Form 8-K and requested that Centurion furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosures. A copy of Centurion’s letter, dated November 4, 2021, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the November 4 Form 8-K.

During the interim period through October 29, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with Assensture regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by Assensture, in either case where written or oral advice provided by Assensture would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor, Centurion or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).

Policies and Procedures Relating to Approval of Services by our Independent Registered Public Accountants

The Audit Committee is solely responsible for the approval in advance of all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firms (including the fees and other terms thereof), subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services provided by Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which services are subsequently approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. None of the fees listed above are for services rendered pursuant to such de minimus exceptions.

The Audit Committee has established its pre-approval policies and procedures, pursuant to which the Audit Committee approved the foregoing audit, tax, and non-audit services provided by Centurion in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021. Consistent with the Audit Committee’s responsibility for engaging our independent auditors, all audit and permitted non-audit services require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The full Audit Committee approves proposed services and fee estimates for these services. One or more independent directors serving on the Audit Committee may be delegated by the full Audit Committee to pre-approve any audit and non-audit services. Any such delegation shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Pursuant to these procedures, the Audit Committee approved the foregoing audit services provided by Assensture.

Audit Committee Report

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee our financial reporting activities. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing with both our independent registered public accounting firm and management, our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, and our accounting, financial, and operating controls and staff. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s (the “PCAOB”) Rule 3200T. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to stockholders’ ratification, the appointment of Assensture to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

The information contained in this proxy statement with respect to the Audit Committee’s report above and the independence of the members of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference in such filing.

OTHER MATTERS

Our Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the Meeting. If any additional matter should properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on any such matters.

If we are not notified of a stockholder proposal within a reasonable time prior to the time we send our proxy statement for our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Board will have discretionary authority to vote on the stockholder proposal, even though the stockholder proposal is not discussed in the proxy statement.

Proxy Solicitation

The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of the Board and we will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock, Transhare Corporation, as a part of its regular services and for no additional compensation other than reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, has been engaged to assist in the proxy solicitation. Proxies may be solicited through the mail and through telephonic or telegraphic communications to, or by meetings with, stockholders or their representatives by our directors, officers, and other employees who will receive no additional compensation therefor. We may also retain a proxy solicitation firm to assist us in obtaining proxies by mail, facsimile, or email from record and beneficial holders of shares for the Meeting. If we retain a proxy solicitation firm, we expect to pay such firm reasonable and customary compensation for its services, including out-of-pocket expenses.

We request persons such as brokers, nominees, and fiduciaries holding stock in their names for others, or holding stock for others who have the right to give voting instructions, to forward proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of the proxy. We will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses.

Annual Report

The Annual Report is being sent with this proxy statement to each stockholder and is available at https://www.biosisi.com as well as on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Annual Report contains our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. The Annual Report, however, is not to be regarded as part of the proxy soliciting material.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households

Only one copy of this proxy statement and one copy of our Annual Report are being delivered to multiple registered stockholders who share an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. A separate form of proxy and a separate notice of the Meeting are being included for each account at the shared address. Registered stockholders who share an address and would like to receive a separate copy of our Annual Report and/or a separate copy of this proxy statement, or have questions regarding the householding process, may contact the Company’s transfer agent: Transhare Corporation, by calling (303) 662-1112, or by forwarding a written request addressed to Transhare Corporation, Bayside Center 1, 17755 North US Highway 19, Suite # 140, Clearwater, FL 33764.

Many brokers, brokerage firms, broker/dealers, banks, and other holders of record have also instituted “householding” (delivery of one copy of materials to multiple stockholders who share an address). If your family has one or more “street name” accounts under which you beneficially own shares of our common stock, you may have received householding information from your broker, brokerage firm, broker/dealer, bank, or other nominee in the past. Please contact the holder of record directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this proxy statement or our Annual Report or wish to revoke your decision to household and thereby receive multiple copies. You should also contact the holder of record if you wish to institute householding.
