Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Farmmi, Inc. covers the month of April 2022. The report details the results of the Company's Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was initially convened on April 15, 2022, but adjourned to April 22, 2022, due to a lack of quorum. A quorum was eventually constituted at the reconvened meeting, allowing for the voting on shareholder proposals.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate governance and shareholder voting outcomes rather than financial performance.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Due to the failure of the Share Consolidation and Amendment to the Second M&AA special resolutions, the Company has determined to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). The purpose of the EGM will be to seek approval of ordinary resolutions to consolidate ordinary shares and amend the Second M&AA to reflect such consolidation. The date for this meeting will be announced once available.
