Explanatory Note

Mr. Jiangping Xiao, an independent director of YanGuFang International Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), resigned from the board of directors of the Company (“Board”) and all committees thereof, due to personal reasons, effective January 16, 2024. On January 18, 2024, the Board accepted Mr. Xiao’s resignation. Mr. Xiao’s resignation was not due to any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

On January 19, 2024, the Company received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the resignation of Mr. Xiao from the Board and the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5605. The Notice states that, consistent with Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company a cure period until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or January 16, 2025 to regain compliance; provided that if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before July 15, 2024, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than July 15, 2024.

If compliance is not achieved by the expiration of the cure period, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. We plan to search for candidates and fill in the vacancy on the Board and the Audit Committee within the cure period provided by Nasdaq.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq.

As previously reported, on November 15, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company of its noncompliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250 (c)(1) for continued listing due to its failure to file its Annual Report on the Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 in a timely manner. On January 19, 2024, the Company submitted its plan of compliance to Nasdaq.
