Item 3.01 Notice of Receipt of Exception to Regain Compliance with
Nasdaq Bid Price Rule
On May 29, 2026, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the
“Panel”) notified Triller Group Inc. (“Triller” or the “Company”) that the Panel determined to grant
Triller an exception to the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”) until June 30,
2026 in order to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
As previously disclosed on April 24, 2026, following
a successful appeal by the Company to the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) which
modified a previous December 26, 2025 decision by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to delist the securities of the Company and suspend trading
of the Company’s shares for non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Periodic Filing Rule”), the securities
of the Company resumed trading on the Exchange on April 16, 2026. The Listing Council had issued its decision on March 24, 2026 (the “Listing
Council Decision”). The resumption of trading occurred on the day after the Company satisfied the conditions of the Listing Council
Decision, upon Triller having demonstrated its current compliance with the Periodic Filing Rule by filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025.
Following the Decision by the Listing Council
and prior to the resumption of Triller’s securities trading on the Exchange, on April 6, 2026, the Nasdaq Regulation Staff (“Staff”)
submitted to the Listing Council a “Clarification Request” seeking to amend the Listing Council Decision, which the Listing
Council limited to the Periodic Filing Rule, to assert non-compliance by the Company with the “Bid Price Rule”. Under Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5810(d), the Staff issued a Determination Letter as an additional deficiency notification, and “[sought] guidance”
from the Listing Council relating to bid price compliance. On April 20, 2026, the Company filed with the Listing Council the Company’s
response to the Staff’s request “seeking guidance.” On April 21, 2026, the Listing Council, after reviewing the Staff’s
and the Company’s submissions, notified Staff and the Company that the Listing Council believed that it is up to the Panel to adjudicate
the Company’s Bid Price Rule noncompliance and remanded the matter to the Panel.
On April 24, 2026, the Company submitted its response
to the Panel, and included a request for a new exception period, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(c)(1)(A), to regain compliance with
the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Following briefing by the Company and the Staff, on May 29, 2026, the Company received a letter from
the Panel stating that it had determined to grant the Company an exception to the Bid Price Rule, pursuant to which the Company must demonstrate
compliance with the Bid Price Rule by achieving a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for ten (10) consecutive business days on or before
June 30, 2026.

Triller Group Inc. Receives Nasdaq Exception
To Regain Minimum Bid Price Compliance
Los Angeles, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triller
Group Inc (Nasdaq: ILLR; ILLRW) (“Triller” or the “Company”) today announced that, on Friday, May 29, 2026, the
Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granted the Company an exception to June 30, 2026 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s
Bid Price Rule.
“We at Triller are grateful to Nasdaq’s
Panel for giving us the necessary additional time to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, as we continue to work diligently to grow
our business segments, pursue our corporate strategies, maintain regulatory compliance, and satisfy the expectations of our shareholders,”
said Wing-Fai Ng, Chief Executive Officer of Triller. “I also want to reiterate the Board’s and my continued appreciation
for the valuable knowledge, insights and guidance that our experienced specialists – Special Counsel Jacob Frenkel at Dickinson
Wright PLLC and our listing experts David Donohoe and Katherine Petty at Donohoe Advisory Associates LLC
– bring to our navigating successfully the processes with Nasdaq.”
Special Counsel Jacob Frenkel commented:
“Congratulations yet again to Wing-Fai and the entire Triller team for this third successive successful challenge to the Nasdaq
in its regulatory oversight process and securing this window of opportunity to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Thank you to
the extraordinary Donohoe Advisory team for their superior work to achieve this third consecutive victory for Triller. Working with Triller
management is a true pleasure given their dedication to their shareholders and commitment to compliance. We are now pleased to hand back
the reigns to Triller’s corporate counsel to complete the legal aspects of the well underway process for regaining timely full Bid
Price Rule compliance.”
In a Form 8-K filed on June 2, 2026, the
Company disclosed that On May 29, 2026, the Panel notified the Company that the Panel determined to grant Triller an exception to the
Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market until June 30, 2026 in order to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the “Bid
Price Rule.” Following a prior favorable decision for Triller by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing
Council”) and preceding the resumption of Triller’s securities’ trading on the the Nasdaq Stock Market, on April 6,
2026, Nasdaq Regulation Staff (“Nasdaq Staff”) submitted to the Listing Council a “Clarification Request” to assert
non-compliance by the Company with the “Bid Price Rule.” Nasdaq Staff had sought to amend a Listing Council Decision favorable
to Triller, which the Listing Council limited to the Periodic Filing Rule. Nasdaq Staff issued a Determination Letter as an additional
deficiency notification, and “[sought] guidance” from the Listing Council relating to bid price compliance.
On April 20, 2026, the Company filed with the
Listing Council the Company’s response to the Staff’s request “seeking guidance.” On April 21, 2026, the Listing
Council, after reviewing the Staff’s and the Company’s submissions, notified Staff and the Company that the Listing Council
believed that it is up to the Panel to adjudicate the Company’s Bid Price Rule noncompliance and remanded the matter to the Panel.
On April 24, 2026, the Company submitted its response to the Panel, and included a request for a new exception period, pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5815(c)(1)(A), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Following briefing by the Company and the Staff,
on May 29, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Panel stating that it had determined to grant the Company an exception to the
Bid Price Rule, pursuant to which the Company must demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule by achieving a closing bid price of
$1.00 or more for ten (10) consecutive business days on or before June 30, 2026.
If the Company demonstrates with evidence compliance
for the required period, Nasdaq will notify Triller that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule and the Company’s common
stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If Triller does not regain compliance within the exception period, then
it is within the discretion of the Nasdaq Staff to initiate procedures to suspend trading and remove the Company’s securities from
listing. Triller’s corporate securities counsel continues to advise the Company with the legal aspects and filings associated with
regaining Bid Price Rule compliance.
As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K, on March
24, 2026, the Listing Council modified a December 26, 2025 decision of a Panel relating to the Company’s prior non-compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Periodic Filing Rule. Following the Company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025,
Triller’s securities resumed trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 16, 2026.
Triller remains committed to maintaining compliance
with all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
