The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain S&W Seed's officers and directors potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with their conduct in seeking shareholders' approval of an amendment to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan.

On Nov. 1, 2012, the S&W Seed Company Board of Directors announced that it is recommending that its shareholders increase the number of shares for potential issuance in the Company's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan by 500,000 shares to 1,250,000 shares.

S&W Seed Company said the Proxy Statement filed on October 29, 2012, ‘inadvertently’ indicated an increase in the Plan to 2,250,000 shares and that an amended Proxy Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2012 to correct the error and no incorrect proxies have been mailed by S&W's proxy mailing firm.

All stockholders of record on October 19, 2012 will receive the notice of meeting and proxy statement filed on November 1, 2012.

According to the investigation the issuance of the additional shares could have a substantial dilutive effect on the shares of S&W Seed common stock.
