On May 23, 2024, Fresh2 Group Limited (the “Company”) received a delinquency compliance alert notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that due to its failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and because the Company remains delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, it is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires the timely filing of all required periodic reports with the SEC.
In accordance with Nasdaq’s letter dated April 18, 2024, Nasdaq provided the Company 60 days, or until June 17, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule with respect to delinquent reports (the “Plan”).

These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations, assumptions, and projections, involving judgments about future economic conditions, competitive landscapes, market dynamics, and business decisions, many of which are inherently challenging to predict accurately and are largely beyond the Company's control.
