Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed, on October 20, 2025, HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company and its Board of Directors had deemed it in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to authorize a one-time payment to its stockholders in the amount of $0.13 per share of common stock. The press release incorrectly stated, however, that the one-time payment would be in the form of a dividend, as opposed to a distribution. For U.S. federal tax purposes, this payment to stockholders will be deemed to be a distribution. On October 29, 2025, the Company issued a press release to clarify that this one-time payment to stockholders of $0.13 per share of common stock will be classified as a distribution.
The Company’s October 29, 2025 press release reiterated that the record date for holders of the Company’s common stock to participate in the distribution is November 10, 2025, and the payment date is expected to be November 17, 2025.
The press release issued on October 29, 2025 is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The information contained in the press release is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Company’s one-time distribution to stockholders of $0.13 per share will be payable to stockholders of record as of November 10, 2025 and is expected to be paid on November 17, 2025.
