This filing provides the definitive terms for the reverse stock split previously approved by shareholders on February 10, 2026. The 1-for-8 consolidation is a critical step for Zhongchao Inc. to maintain its Nasdaq listing, as its stock price has fallen below the minimum bid requirement. While necessary for compliance, reverse splits are often viewed negatively by the market as they do not address underlying business fundamentals and can be followed by further dilution. The company's post-split authorized capital of 2.5 billion shares, compared to approximately 3.84 million outstanding shares, indicates a massive potential for future dilution if the company decides to raise capital by issuing new shares. Investors should monitor the company's operational performance and any subsequent capital-raising activities.
