INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

As previously disclosed, on October 10, 2023, ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) as of October 10, 2023, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). On November 15, 2023, the Company announced that the Panel has granted the Company a temporary exception, enabling it to regain compliance with the Rule.

Since then, Nasdaq has determined that for 10 consecutive business days, from December 6, 2023 through December 20, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater. On December 21, 2023, the Staff notified the Company that it has regained compliance with the Rule and the matter is now closed.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 to this Report on Form 6-K and incorporated by reference herein is the Registrant’s press release issued on December 26, 2023, titled “ZK International Group Co., Ltd. Resolves Nasdaq Bid Price Deficiency and Remains in Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Standards.”

In addition, the Company published a press release titled “ZK International Group Co., Ltd. Celebrates Prestigious Recognition as a National ‘Little Giant Enterprise’” on December 14, 2023, and a press release titled “ZK International Group Co., Ltd., Wins $8 Million Bid with Chongqing Gas Group to Supply the Municipal Gas Infrastructure Project, thus Strengthening its Competitive Edge in the Western China Gas Market” on December 19, 2023. Copies of the press releases are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report on Form 6-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
