Authorization for Further Reverse Stock Splits
The company is seeking authorization for additional reverse stock splits at ratios between 2:1 and 250:1, to be implemented at the Board's discretion over the next three years. This follows a 1-for-31 reverse split completed on June 8, 2026.

Analysis
Zhongchao Inc. is seeking shareholder approval for an extraordinary increase in its authorized share capital by 500 times, from US$20 million to US$10 billion. This authorization would allow the company to issue billions of new shares, signaling a potential for extreme future dilution. Additionally, the company is requesting authorization for further reverse stock splits at ratios between 2:1 and 250:1 over the next three years. This comes immediately after completing a 1-for-31 reverse split on June 8, 2026, and with the stock still trading below Nasdaq's minimum bid price. The need for repeated reverse split authorization, coupled with a massive increase in share issuance capacity, indicates severe financial distress and a high likelihood of significant future dilution for existing shareholders.
