On March 13, 2025, the Board of Directors of Scienture Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Eric Sherb to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer effective as of March 13, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). Mr. Sherb (age 38), has served as an accounting consultant for the Company since 2023. The Company’s addition of Mr. Sherb as its full-time Chief Financial Officer brings 16 years of experience in accounting advisory, auditing, and mergers and acquisitions, with substantial experience in financial reporting for public entities.

Mr. Sherb will succeed Prashant Patel, who previously served as the Company’s Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer. Mr. Patel notified the Company’s Board of Directors of his intention to resign his position as Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer effective as of the Effective Date. Mr. Patel will continue to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Patel’s decision to resign as the Company’s Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company, the Company’s management or the Company’s Board of Directors on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

In connection with Mr. Sherb’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, the Company and EMS Consulting Services, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Sherb, entered into an independent contractor agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby Mr. Sherb has agreed to perform, on a full-time basis, all services (a) assigned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and (b) otherwise necessary or convenient in fulfilling the obligations associated with serving as the Chief Financial Officer of a publicly-traded company with common stock listed on The Nasdaq Marketplace LLC. In exchange, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Sherb (i) an annual cash fee of $100,000; (ii) an annual grant of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to an aggregate amount of $50,000, to be issued as soon as reasonably practicable upon signing of this Agreement and every year thereafter during the term of the Agreement; and (c) an annual discretionary bonus in an amount, if any, determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Agreement became effective on the Effective Date and will continue until terminated by the Company or Mr. Sherb on no less than 14 days’ prior notice. The Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has not been party to any transactions with Mr. Sherb since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year where the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or on percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years.
