<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">Origin Agritech Limited, through its subsidiary
Beijing Origin Seed Limited, (together &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) and Beijing Shihui Agricultural Development Co. Ltd. (&ldquo;Shihui&rdquo;)
have entered into new discussions for a revised payment schedule under the original Master Transaction Agreement for the sale of
certain identified assets, as previously amended. Shihui has confirmed to the Company its continued interest in completing the
transaction, and has cited a difficulty in obtaining financing for the balance of its payment commitments as the reason for the
delay in making its payments to the Company for the asset sales to date. The Company is assisting Shihui in its efforts to obtain
funding. Although the parties are actively seeking a path to funding and completion of the asset purchase agreements, there can
be no assurance at this time that the transaction will be completed as revised.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">The new modification agreement revises the
payment dates of the original agreement, as modified. The previously agreed November 2017 payment of RMB 43.6MM is to be delayed
to December 15, 2017, in respect of the first asset sale, and the second payment of approximately RMB 40MM (subject to adjustment
for outstanding payables between the companies) for the balance of the assets is to be made on January 15, 2018.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">Additionally, Shihui, which currently has
a loan from the Company in the amount of RMB21MM, will repay the full amount of the loan due on December 31, 2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">Shihui has paid the deposit of RMB10MM at
the time of signing the purchase agreement which is to be applied to the second asset sale and has paid total of RMB14mm towards
the first closing of the assets.</P>
