NASDAQ Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

On December 29, 2023, Zhongchao Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”), as the closing bid price for the Company’s Class A ordinary shares had been below $1.00 per share for the preceding 30 consecutive business days. The Letter is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until June 26, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time prior to the expiration of Compliance Period. If the Company regains compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation and will close the matter.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, provided that on the 180th day of the Compliance Period, it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all other applicable standards for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and provide written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the extended compliance period.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period (as may be extended), the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will be subject to delisting.

The Company is monitoring the closing bid price of its Class A ordinary shares and evaluating options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
