Lichen China Limited Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Notice Subject to Hearing Request Lichen China Limited announced that it has received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the "Low Priced Stocks Rule"), as the Company's securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for eleven consecutive trading days from January 28, 2025 through February 11, 2025. The letter indicated that, as a result, the Nasdaq staff has determined to delist the Company's ordinary shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Delisting Determination"). As previously reported, on January 23, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that the bid price of its listed securities had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until July 22, 2025, to regain compliance with this rule. The Delisting Determination ended the aforementioned compliance period before its expiration because the Company's stock prices have triggered the Low Priced Stocks Rule. The Company was provided until February 19, 2025 to request an appeal of the Delisting Determination to the hearing panel. The Company intends to request such hearing to appeal the Delisting Determination before that date, which will stay the suspension of its securities from the date of the request, during which time such securities will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company fails to request an appeal of the Delisting Determination by February 19, 2025, trading of the Company's ordinary shares will be suspended at the opening of business on February 21, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company is considering all potential options available to it to regain compliance with the aforementioned rules, including seeking shareholders' approval for a reverse stock split.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 47% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (29% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 1.2% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (47% increase in shares outstanding).

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$7.62m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (26% average weekly change).

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 39% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 4.2% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (39% accrual ratio).
