Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds
There were no unregistered sales
of the Company’s equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2022 that were not previously reported in an Annual

During the three months ended
June 30, 2022, 700 shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into 4,537,240 shares of common stock.
A shareholder of NaturalShrimp
Holdings, Inc. (“NSH”), Gary Shover, filed suit against the Company on August 11, 2020 in the Northern District of Texas,
Dallas Division, alleging breach of contract for the Company’s failure to exchange common shares of the Company for shares Mr.
Shover owns in NSH. On November 15, 2021, a hearing was held before the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas
Division at which time Mr. Shover and the Company presented arguments as to why the Court should approve a joint motion for settlement.
After considering the argument of counsel and taking questions from those NSH Shareholders who were present through video conferencing
link, the Court approved the motion of the parties to allow Mr. Shover and all like and similarly situated NSH Shareholders to exchange
each share of NSH held by a NSH Shareholder for a share of the Company. A final Order was signed on December 6, 2021 and the case was
closed by an Order of the Court of the same date. As of March 31, 2022, 28,494,706 of the shares presented in Stock Payable have been
issued, with the fair value of $9,415,950 reclassified out of Stock Payable. In April of 2022, an additional 60,841,649 of shares of
common stock were issued out of the Stock Payable. All of the shares issued pursuant to the final Order have been issued in reliance
on the exemption under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
As of June 22, 2022, 250,000
common shares were issued in relation to a trial distribution agreement, which after the result of the trial period, both parties may
negotiate and execute a long term distribution agreement. The shares will be paid by the Company withholding sufficient profits from
the sale by the other party of the live shrimp.
Unless otherwise specified,
the above securities were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The issuance of the shares
to the consultant qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering. The offering
was not a “public offering” as defined in 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transactions,
manner of the issuance and number of securities issued. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities
to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since they
agreed to and received securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. This
restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public
offering”. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults upon
Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not Applicable.
