Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Effective as of June 29, 2026 (the “Effective
Date”), pursuant to a Certificate of Change Pursuant to Section 78.209 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) GD Culture
Group Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on June 18, 2026, at which
time a 1-for-250 reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common
Stock”) and shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), accompanied by a corresponding
decrease in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”),
was effected.
Pursuant to Section 78.207 of the NRS, and pursuant
to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, on June 16, 2026 by unanimous written consent, the board of directors of the Company
(the “Board”) authorized the Reverse Stock Split. Pursuant to Section 78.209 of the NRS, the Board may take action to effect
the Reverse Stock Split by filing a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada. As previously disclosed, on December
31, 2025 the Company held its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, during which the stockholders of the Company approved a reverse stock
split of the authorized and unauthorized capital stock of the Company, at a ratio ranging between 1-for-2 and 1-for-250, with the exact
ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, to be effected at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of
such stockholders’ approval.
The Reverse Stock Split became effective for trading
purposes at the market opening on June 29, 2026, at which time the Company’s Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market
on a split-adjusted basis under the symbol “GDC.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s Common Stock post-Reverse Stock
Split is 19200A303.
The Company has rounded up to the next full share
of the Company’s Common Stock any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, this adjustment reduced
the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock from approximately 1.04 billion to approximately
4.16 million, plus any shares to be issued in exchange for fractional interests.

GD Culture Group Limited Announces 1-for-250 Reverse Stock Split
Effective June 29, 2026
JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- GD Culture Group Limited (Nasdaq: GDC) (the “Company” or “GDC”) today announced that it will effect a reverse
stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) on a one-for-two
hundred fifty basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company’s Common Stock will begin trading on a post-split basis
when the market opens on June 29, 2026. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)
under the symbol “GDC” under a new CUSIP number 19200A303.
The Reverse Stock Split is being implemented pursuant
to a resolution of the Board of Directors of GDC on June 16, 2026.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each two
hundred fifty (250) pre-split shares of Common Stock will be combined into one (1) share of Common Stock, automatically and without any
action by stockholders, without any change in the par value per share. After giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, the
Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be reduced from 1.04 billion to approximately 4.16 million, plus any
shares to be issued in exchange for fractional interests.
No fractional shares will be issued as a result
of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would be entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall have
their entitlement rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter
any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, except for adjustments that may result from
the rounding up of fractional shares.
The Company’s transfer agent, Transhare
Corporation, will act as the exchange agent. Adjustments made to the Common Stock represented by physical stock certificates can be made
upon surrender of the certificate to the transfer agent. Please contact Transhare Corporation for further information at (303) 662-1112.
