Filing Explained

The completed financing retains a 60-day right for purchasers to seek up to 200% of their purchased shares and warrant shares.

The filing states that the offering closed on July 24, 2026, but each purchaser retains a 60-day right to buy an additional allocation of up to 200% of the Class A shares and warrant shares it purchased; this is capacity, not a reported additional closing.

The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable, subject to the 9.99% beneficial-ownership limit, and may be exercised in whole or part through a cashless exercise; exercise would convert the warrant rights into Class A shares, which would reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

Share consolidation ratio 1-for-3 Consolidation of authorized, issued and outstanding shares effective June 29, 2026
Authorized share capital $10,000,000,000 Post-consolidation authorized share capital in amended memorandum of association
Shares in registered offering 300,000 Class A ordinary shares Primary shares sold in registered direct offering
Pre-funded warrant coverage 4,245,455 Class A ordinary shares Number of Class A shares underlying pre-funded warrants
Offering price per share $1.10 per Class A ordinary share Price for Class A ordinary shares in the offering
Pre-funded warrant exercise price $0.001 per share Exercise price for each pre-funded warrant share
Net proceeds $4.5 million Approximate net proceeds received from the offering
Placement agent commission 7.0% of aggregate gross proceeds Cash commission payable to Univest Securities, LLC
registered direct offering financial
"entered into a securities purchase agreement ... in connection with a registered direct offering"
A registered direct offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly to select investors with regulatory approval. This method allows the company to raise funds quickly and efficiently without needing a public auction, similar to offering exclusive access to a limited number of buyers. For investors, it often provides an opportunity to purchase shares at a favorable price, while giving the company immediate access to capital.
Pre-Funded Warrants financial
"in lieu of Class A Ordinary Shares, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
beneficially own in excess of 9.99% financial
"will not have the right to exercise ... if the Holder ... would beneficially own in excess of 9.99%"
cashless exercise financial
"may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise"
A cashless exercise is a way for an option holder to convert stock options into actual shares without paying the purchase price in cash; instead they immediately give up a portion of the newly issued shares to cover the cost and any withholding taxes. Investors care because this process increases the number of shares available and can slightly dilute existing holdings, while also signaling how insiders or employees are realizing compensation without needing cash — similar to paying for a purchase by handing over part of what you just bought.
right of first refusal financial
"the Company has granted the Placement Agent a right of first refusal to provide certain investment banking services"
A right of first refusal gives an existing shareholder or party the chance to buy an asset or shares before the owner can sell them to someone else. Think of it like being offered the first option to buy a house when the owner decides to sell; it matters to investors because it can limit who can acquire a stake, slow or block transactions, and affect the price and liquidity of an investment by restricting open-market sales or new buyers.
non-accountable expense financial
"reimburse the Placement Agent 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds ... as a non-accountable expense"

On June 18, 2026, Zhongchao Inc. (the “Company”) held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Meeting”) at which shareholders passed resolutions approving:

 

(a)conditional upon the approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) in its sole discretion, with effect as of the date the Board may determine (the “Effective Date”), the consolidation of the authorised, issued, and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”) at any one time or multiple times during a period of up to three years of the date of the Meeting, at the exact consolidation ratio and effective time as the Board may determine in its sole discretion, provided always that the accumulated consolidation ratio for all such share consolidation(s) (together, “Share Consolidations”, and each a “Share Consolidation”) shall not be less than 2:1 nor greater than 250:1; and

 

(b)subject to and immediately following each Share Consolidation being effected, the Company's adoption of amended and restated memorandum of association in substitution for, and to the exclusion of the Company's existing memorandum of association, to reflect such Share Consolidation.

 

On 18 June 2026, the Board passed resolutions approving the consolidation of the Company's authorised, issued and outstanding shares on a 1-for-3 ratio with effect from June 29, 2026.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the share consolidation, every three Class A ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.248 each were consolidated into one Class A ordinary share with a par value of US$0.744 each, and every three Class B ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.248 each were consolidated into one Class B ordinary share with a par value of US$0.744 each, and the Company adopted an amended and restated memorandum of association reflecting the Company's newly consolidation authorised share capital of US$10,000,000,000 divided into 12,096,774,193.5484 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.744 each and 1,344,086,021.50538 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.744 each.

 

Entry into Share Purchase Agreement and Placement Agency Agreement

 

On July 23, 2026, Zhongchao Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (each, a “Purchaser,” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) in connection with a registered direct offering of 300,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.744 each (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and, in lieu of Class A Ordinary Shares, pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase 4,245,455 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Warrant Shares”), in the aggregate (such offering, the “Offering”). The offering price for the Class A Ordinary Shares is $1.10 per Class A Ordinary Share, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is $1.10 (less the exercise price of US$0.001 per share).

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, and each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share (the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). A holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants (“Holder”) will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the Holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable (subject to the aforementioned beneficial ownership limitation) and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Pre-Funded Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise, under which cashless exercise the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share dividends, share consolidations, and other similar transactions of the Class A Ordinary Shares or such other event as further described in the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Class A Ordinary Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Warrant Shares were offered pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-279667) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 23, 2024, as amended on June 6, 2025, which registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 24, 2025, and the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on July 24, 2026.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides each purchaser with a 60-day right to purchase, at $1.10 per share, an additional allocation of up to 200% of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrant Shares purchased by such purchaser at the Offering, with any additional closing to occur on the first trading day after the applicable election notice. 

 

The Offering was consummated on July 24, 2026. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.5 million from the Offering, after deducting offering expenses payable by the Company, including placement agent fees, legal fees, and clearing fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) on July 23, 2026 with Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to act as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. The Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent commissions equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering and to reimburse the Placement Agent 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering as a non-accountable expense of the Offering. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $80,000 for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Offering, including any reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of the Placement Agent’s legal counsel’s expenses, and travel costs in connection with the Offering.

 

For the eight-month period following the closing of the Offering, the Company has granted the Placement Agent a right of first refusal to provide certain investment banking services to the Company, including acting as lead or joint manager for any underwritten public offering and as lead or joint book-runner, placement agent or initial purchaser in connection with any private offering of the Company’s securities. Any such engagement would be subject to a separate agreement with customary terms, including fees and indemnification, and the right may be terminated by the Company for cause.

 

The Placement Agent is entitled to compensation commensurate with the fees set forth in the Placement Agency Agreement for 12 months from the closing date of the Offering from the sale of any equity, debt or equity-linked securities to any investor actually introduced by the Placement Agent to the Company between the date of the Placement Agency Agreement and the closing of the Offering, if such financing is consummated during such 12-month period.
