The Board of Directors of KBSF Authorized and Declared a Shareholder Rights Plan

SHISHI, China, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- KBS Fashion Group Limited ("KBS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: KBSF), a leading fully-integrated casual menswear company in China and the operator of Luxventure, a social media platform, announced today the authorization and declaration of a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2021. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one 0.00667 portion of a share of Series B Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company at an exercise price of $50.00. The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Preferred Stock Rights Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2021, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent.

The Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Rights Agreement to protect stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics. In general terms, it works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock without the approval of the Board. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights Agreement and the issuance of the Rights may be to render more difficult or to discourage a merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination involving the Company that is not approved by the Board. However, neither the Rights Agreement nor the Rights should interfere with any merger, tender or exchange offer or other business combination approved by the Board.

The company has filed a 6K with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the details of this plan.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor may there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
