ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is being sent to the holders of shares of voting stock of Agape ATP Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company which will be held at 2:00 p.m., Malaysia Time on June 28, 2024 (2:00 a.m., Eastern Time) (the “Annual Meeting”).

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

What am I voting on?

You will be voting on the following:

Proposal One

By a resolution of members, to approve the re-appointment of five directors, How Kok Choong, Wilfrendo Fernando Cortizo, Ramesh Ruben Louis, Vong John Hing and Chee Chin Aik, each to serve a term expiring at the next annual meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Who is entitled to vote?

You may vote if you owned shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the close of business on May 21, 2024, which we refer to as the “Record Date”. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. As of May 21, 2024, we had 76,966,712 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Certain of our Stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record/Registered Stockholders

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, you are a “Stockholder of Record” who may vote at the Annual Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the Stockholder of Record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the Stockholder of Record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the Stockholder of Record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote before the Annual Meeting?

If you are a registered Stockholder, meaning that you hold your shares in certificate form, you have the following voting options:

(1) By Internet, which we encourage if you have Internet access, at the address shown on your proxy card;

(2) By mail, by completing, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card; or

(3) During the Annual Meeting in person.

If you vote via the internet, your electronic vote authorizes the named proxies in the same manner as if you signed, dated, and returned your proxy card. If you vote via the internet, do not return your proxy card.

If you hold your shares through an account with a bank or broker, your ability to vote by the Internet depends on their voting procedures. Please follow the directions that your bank or broker provides.

Can I change my mind after I return my proxy?

You may change your vote at any time before the polls close at the conclusion of voting at the Annual Meeting. You may do this by (1) signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us before the Annual Meeting, (2) voting again over the Internet prior to the time of the Annual Meeting, or (3) voting at the Annual Meeting if you are a registered Stockholder or have followed the necessary procedures required by your bank or broker.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What if I return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?

Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain instructions will be voted “FOR” Proposal One in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or instruction form?

It indicates that your shares of Common Stock are registered differently and are in more than one account. To ensure that all shares are voted, please either vote each account on the Internet, or sign and return all proxy cards. We encourage you to register all your accounts in the same name and address. Those holding shares through a bank or broker should contact their bank or broker and request consolidation.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by internet or mail. In order for us to conduct our Annual Meeting, at the commencement of the Annual Meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of our outstanding share of Common Stocks as of May 21, 2024. This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present or represented, the chairman of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the Annual Meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.

How many votes are needed to approve the Company’s proposals?

Proposal One. The re-appointment of directors. This proposal requires affirmative (“FOR”) votes of a majority of votes cast by shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What are Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes?

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. An abstention is the voluntary act of not voting by a Stockholder who is present at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions regarding such matters, your proxy will be deemed a “broker non-vote.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The question of whether your broker or nominee may be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to a particular matter depends on whether the particular proposal is deemed to be a “routine” matter and how your broker or nominee exercises any discretion they may have in the voting of the shares that you beneficially own. Brokers and nominees can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules and interpretations of the Nasdaq, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of Stockholder, such as mergers, Stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory Stockholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of Stockholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported.

For any proposal that is considered a “routine” matter, your broker or nominee may vote your shares in its discretion either for or against the proposal even in the absence of your instruction. For any proposal that is considered a “non-routine” matter for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. “Broker non-votes” occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Broker non-votes will not be considered to be shares “entitled to vote” on any “non-routine” matter and therefore will not be counted as having been voted on the applicable proposal. Therefore, if you are a beneficial owner and want to ensure that shares you beneficially own are voted in favor or against any or all of the proposals in this proxy statement, the only way you can do so is to give your broker or nominee specific instructions as to how the shares are to be voted.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast on an item and therefore will not affect the outcome of any proposal presented in this proxy statement. Abstention and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum present at the Annual Meeting.

Note that if you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the broker that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on Proposal One because it is considered a non-routine matter.

Accordingly, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement, the corporate secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices no later than the deadline stated below. Such proposals must comply with SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to Agape ATP Corporation, 1705 – 1708, Level 17, Tower 2, Faber Towers, Jalan Desa Bahagia, Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Postal Code: 58100).

Under Rule 14a-8, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date that this Proxy Statement is released to stockholders. However, if we did not hold an annual meeting in the previous year or if the date of next year’s annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. Therefore, stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the annual meeting held in 2025 must be received by us at our principal executive office no later than 120 days prior to the anniversary date that proxy material for this year’s meeting were sent in order to be eligible for inclusion in our 2025 proxy statement and proxy relating to that meeting, which will be February 3, 2025. Any stockholder proposal submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for presentation at our annual meeting held in 2025 will be considered untimely for purposes of Rule 14a-4 and 14a-5 if notice thereof is not received by the Company in writing by 45 days prior to the anniversary of the date that proxy materials are sent to stockholders, which will be April 19, 2025. Upon receipt of any proposal, we will determine whether to include such proposal in accordance with regulations governing the solicitation of proxies.

You may propose director candidates for consideration by the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership, information regarding the candidate as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to SEC regulations, and a written indication by the recommended candidate of her or his willingness to serve, and should be directed to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices within the time period described above for proposals other than matters brought under SEC Rule 14a-8.

STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they are or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you currently receive multiple proxy statements and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to Agape ATP Corporation, 1705 – 1708, Level 17, Tower 2, Faber Towers, Jalan Desa Bahagia, Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Postal Code: 58100).
