Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Memorandum and Articles provide that a director
will not be personally liable to us or to our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director,
including breaches which constitute gross negligence. This provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:
·
for breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us or to our shareholders;
·
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
·
for
    any improper benefit; or
·
for breaches of a director's responsibilities under the federal securities laws.
Our Memorandum and Articles also provides that
we indemnify and hold harmless each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the Memorandum and Articles and
applicable law of the British Virgin Islands, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorney's fees, judgments, fines, taxes
or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Origin Agritech Limited, pursuant to the forgoing
provisions or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
See the attached Exhibit Index, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)       The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)        To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)       That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)       To remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b)       The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of
an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c)       Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form
S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Beijing,
