      Agritech Limited (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) entered into a Notes Repurchase Agreement (the
&#8220;Agreement&#8221;) on July 28, 2008 with Citadel Equity Fund Ltd. (&#8220;Citadel&#8221;)
      providing for the repurchase by the Company from Citadel of a portion of the
      Company&#8217;s outstanding 1% Guaranteed Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2012
      (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;). The Company issued the Notes to Citadel in an aggregate principal
      amount of US$40 million under an indenture (the &#8220;Indenture&#8221;), dated July 25,
      2007, among, </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman"><em>inter

      Company, The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York),
      as trustee, and State Harvest Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of the Company,
      as
      the Guarantor. Citadel currently owns all the outstanding Notes, which are
      collectively convertible into 3,478,260 ordinary shares at the current
      conversion price. See Item 6.E. in the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 20-F for
      the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company
      will repurchase from Citadel the Notes in an aggregate principal amount of
      US$18.7 million for a total repurchase price of US$20.0 million payable in
      cash
      in two closings. At the first closing, which the Company expects will occur
      today, the Company will repurchase US$14.0 million principal amount of the
      Notes
      for a repurchase price of US$15.0 million (the &#8220;First Closing Date&#8221;). At the
      second closing, the Company will repurchase US$4.7 million principal amount
      of
      the Notes for a repurchase price of US$5 million on a date to be mutually agreed
      upon by the Company and Citadel but not later than December 31, 2008 (the
&#8220;Second Closing Date&#8221;). Citadel will also be entitled to any interest payable on
      the repurchased Notes in respect of any record date prior to the First Closing
      Date or the Second Closing Date, as applicable. The repurchased Notes will
      be
      cancelled upon their repurchase on the First Closing Date and the Second Closing
      Date, as applicable. The Company intends to finance the repurchase of the Notes
      from its cash resources. A copy of the Company&#8217;s press release announcing the
      Notes Repurchase Agreement is included in this Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.

      Indenture requires, among other things, that the Company shall not, on the
      original issue date of the Notes or at the end of any fiscal quarter thereafter,
      permit its "Consolidated Tangible Net Worth", as defined in the Indenture,
      to be
      less than the "Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Threshold", which is defined
      in
      the Indenture to be US$157,000,000 (or its equivalent in Renminbi). The Company
      has not been in compliance with this Consolidated Tangible Net Worth covenant
      in
      the past, although the Company believes that the amount of the Consolidated
      Tangible Net Worth Threshold specified in the Indenture was an error and neither
      Citadel nor the Trustee has given the Company a notice of default under the
      Indenture with respect to this covenant. In the Agreement, Citadel has agreed
      to
      waive all defaults or events of default or their consequences, if any, on the
      part of the Company for failure to duly observe and perform this covenant
      through and including the June 30, 2008 fiscal quarter-end, provided that the
      waiver will terminate if the Company defaults on its obligations under the
      Agreement to complete the repurchases of the $18.7 million aggregate principal
      amount of the Notes. In addition, the Company and Citadel have agreed to amend
      the amount of the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth Threshold to be US$45,000,000
      (or its equivalent in Renminbi) pursuant to a supplemental indenture. Citadel
      has not agreed to waive any future defaults under the Consolidated Tangible
      Net
      Worth covenant. </font></div><br>

      Indenture also requires, among other things, the Company to maintain a "Leverage
      Ratio," determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, for the four
      fiscal quarters ending on such day, not exceeding (x) 6.30 to 1.00 from the
      original issue date of the Notes through September 30, 2007, (y) 5.00 to 1.00
      from October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008, and (z) 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter.
      "Leverage Ratio" is defined in the Indenture generally as the ratio of the
      Company&#8217;s consolidated debt as of the relevant determination date to the
      Company&#8217;s aggregate consolidated EBITDA for the most recently completed four
      fiscal quarters prior to such determination date. The Company has not been
      in
      compliance with this Leverage Ratio covenant in the past, although neither
      Citadel nor the Trustee has given the Company a notice of default under the
      Indenture with respect to this covenant. In the Agreement, Citadel has agreed
      to
      waive all defaults or events of default or their consequences, if any, on the
      part of the Company for failure to duly observe and perform this Leverage Ratio
      covenant through and including the June 30, 2008 fiscal quarter-end, provided
      that the waiver will terminate if the Company defaults on its obligations under
      the Agreement to complete the repurchases of the $18.7 million aggregate
      principal amount of the Notes. Citadel has not agreed to waive any future
      defaults under the Leverage Ratio covenant or to amend the terms of the Leverage
      Ratio covenant. </font></div>

      July 28, 2008 with Citadel Equity Fund Ltd. (&#8220;Citadel&#8221;) providing for the
      repurchase by the Company from Citadel of a portion of the Company&#8217;s outstanding
      1% Guaranteed Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2012 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;).

      Company issued the Notes to Citadel in an aggregate principal amount of US$40

      the
      Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$18.7 million for a total repurchase
      price of US$20.0 million payable in cash. The Note repurchase will be completed
      in two tranches. The Company expects to purchase $14.0 million of the Notes
      on
      July 28, 2008, and $4.7 million of the Notes by the end of 2008. Upon the
      completion of the repurchases, respectively, the repurchased Notes will be
      cancelled. The Company intends to finance the repurchase of the Notes from
      its
      cash resources.&#160;As a result of lower interest expense, the Company expects
      the repurchase to be accretive to net earnings by approximately $0.01 per
      diluted share in fiscal 2008 and $0.06 per diluted share in fiscal 2009, on
      a
      U.S. GAAP basis. </font></div>

      noncompliance by the Company through June 30, 2008 under certain financial
      covenants, and to amend a covenant, contained in the indenture for the Notes.

      in 1997 and headquartered in Beijing, Origin Agritech Limited (NASDAQ: SEED)
      is
      one of China&#8217;s leading, vertically-integrated agricultural technology company
      specializing in agri-biotech research, development and production to supply
      the
      growing populations of China. Origin develops, grows, processes, and markets
      crop seeds to farmers throughout China and parts of Southeast Asia via a network
      of approximately 3,800 first-level distributors and 65,000 second-level
      distributors and retailers. The hybrid seed industry is estimated at US$2
      billion and that is expected to double by 2010. The Company currently operates
      facilities in 30 of China&#8217;s 32 provinces as well as Beijing. Since Origin
      launched its first entirely internally developed seed in 2003, the Company
      has
      developed and commercialized an internally developed proprietary seed portfolio
      of twelve corn hybrids, twelve rice hybrids and two canola hybrids as of 2007.
