On April 22, 2019, the Board of Directors of Sugarmade Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) accepted the resignation of Chenlong Tan as a Director of the Company. The Board of Directors declares there were no disputes with Mr. Tan that resulted in his resignation.

On April 22, 2019, the Board of Director of the Company accepted the appointment of Mr. Christopher H. Dieterich as a Director of the Company. The Board has determined Mr. Deiterich shall be considered an Independent Director in accordance with requirements for independent directors set forth by major stock exchanges and regulators. Mr. Dieterich is not a participant in any related party transaction required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Dieterich is qualified to serve as a Director by way his extensive legal and business experience. He graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1969 (BS Engineering), University of California at Berkeley 1970 (MS Engineering) on full scholarship by Ford Foundation; and the University of California at Los Angeles in 1979 (JD Law/MS Economics), pursuant to grant from Olin Foundation. He operates a law firm that specializes in Securities and Exchange Commission filings and venture capital arrangements, and currently represents 15 reporting public entities. The firm has participated in capital raises for over 50 clients, and hundreds of millions of dollars for those clients. The Board believes Mr. Dieterich will added significant value to not only corporate governance, but also to operational and capital acquisition efficiency.
