EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed on February 14, 2022 (the “Original 13D”). This Amendment and the Original 13D are hereby referred to as the “Schedule 13D”.

Except as specifically amended below, all other provisions of the Schedule 13D remain in effect. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment are used as defined in the Original 13D. This Amendment is being filed to reflect separate acquisitions between January 31, 2022 and August 16, 2023 by Mr. Xiao Feng Yang, a Reporting Person, of 75,000 common shares of the Company pursuant to grants under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The title and class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the common shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Shares”), of CLPS Incorporation, a Cayman Islands corporation (the “Company”). The Company’s principal executive office is located at Unit 1000, 10th Floor, Millennium City III, 370 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a)-(c) This report is being filed by Qinrui Ltd. and Xiao Feng Yang (together, the “Reporting Persons”). Xiao Feng Yang is the Chairman of the board of directors of the Company. The Company’s business address is Unit 1000, 10th Floor, Millennium City III, 370 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR.

Qinrui Ltd. is a holding company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The principal business of Qinrui Ltd. is managing Xiao Feng Yang’s personal assets and investments. Qinrui Ltd.’s mailing address is c/o Ogier Global (BVI) Ltd., Ritter House, Wickham’s Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, VG 1110, British Virgin Islands. Xiao Feng Yang has the sole control of Qinrui Ltd.

(d)-(e) Neither Xiao Feng Yang nor Qinrui Ltd. has, during the last five years, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation of such laws.

(f) Xiao Feng Yang is a citizen of the People’s Republic of China. Qinrui Ltd. is a British Virgin Islands corporation.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.

On August 16, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an award of 75,000 shares of restricted stock (the “Shares”) to Mr. Yang under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, which vested on the same day. Mr. Yang did not pay any additional consideration for the Shares.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Mr. Yang was awarded the Shares under the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan stated above. Mr. Yang is currently the Chairman of the board of directors of the Company and therefore will continue to participate in and receive awards under the Company’s incentive programs for as long as he is a director of the Company.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(d) The calculations in this Item are based upon 25,584,122 common shares issued and outstanding as of August 16, 2023. The foregoing calculation is made pursuant to Rule l3d-3 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to date.

Because Mr. Yang controls all of the voting and disposition interests of Qinrui Ltd. with respect to the securities, he may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the common shares directly beneficially owned by Qinrui Ltd. Neither Xiao Feng Yang nor Qinrui Ltd. has effected any transactions in the securities of the Company in the past sixty days. The Reporting Persons affirm that no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the common shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons reported herein.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Other than as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies or any pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the securities of the Company.

Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.

None.
