Item5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, stockholders of HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-2 and no more than 1-for-30, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On March 4, 2026, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). Subsequently, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate the Reverse Split. The Certificate of Amendment was effective for state law purposes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 2, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), after the close of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), such that the Company’s common stock began trading on Nasdaq at market open on April 6, 2026, on a post-Reverse Split basis.

As of the Effective Time, issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were automatically reclassified such that each 20 shares of pre-Reverse Split common stock became one share of common stock, with any fractional shares of common stock resulting being rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. The authorized number of shares, and par value per share, of the Company’s common stock were not affected by the Reverse Split.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
