On January 14, 2021, IT Tech Packaging, Inc. (the "Company") agreed to sell to
certain institutional investors who executed a securities purchase agreement
dated as of January 14, 2021 (the "Purchase Agreement") and to certain other

Statement (as defined below), an aggregate of 26,181,818 shares (the "Shares")
of common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock") and 26,181,818 warrants
(the "Warrants") to purchase up to 26,181,818 shares of the Common Stock (the
"Warrant Shares" and collectively with the Shares and the Warrants, the
"Securities") in a best-efforts public offering for gross proceeds of
approximately $14.4 million (the "Offering"). The purchase price for each share
of Common Stock and the corresponding Warrant sold in the Offering was $0.55.
The Warrants are exercisable commencing on January 20, 2021 at an exercise price
of $0.55 and will expire on January 20, 2026.. In the event of a stock split,
stock dividend, combination, subsequent right offering or reclassification of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the exercise price and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be proportionately adjusted.
The Company agreed not to enter into any subsequent issuance of Common Stock

directors and 5% shareholders of the Company entered into lock-up agreements

things, not to sell or dispose of any shares of Common Stock which are or will
be beneficially owned by them for ninety (90) days following the closing of the
Offering.

(the "Placement Agency Agreement') with Maxim Group LLC, as placement agent (the
"Placement Agent"), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as the
placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay the
Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised in
