As previously announced, on February 18, 2025, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), at which the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of between one-for-two and one-for-twenty, to be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).
On March 9, 2025, the Board approved a one-for-twenty (1:20) reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company intends to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) on March 21, 2025 to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 21, 2025, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on March 24, 2025.
When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every twenty (20) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, (i) a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and (ii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will also be reduced proportionately. Any fraction of a share of common stock that would be created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will reduce the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 14,208,606 shares to approximately 710,431 shares.
The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “ZCAR.” The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 45784G309.
Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.
For more information about the Reverse Stock Split, see the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 21, 2025, and mailed to the Company’s stockholders on or about January 23, 2025, the relevant portions of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split
Bangalore, India, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZCAR) (“Zoomcar” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed leading marketplace for self-drive car sharing, announced today that it will effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of 1-for-20. The reverse stock split will become effective at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on March 21, 2025, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on March 24, 2025. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ZCAR.” The new CUSIP number for the Company’s common stock following the reverse stock split will be 45784G309.
At the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on February 18, 2025, the stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20, with the final ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On March 9, 2025, the Board approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split.
When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be combined into one share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, (i) a proportionate adjustment will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and (ii) the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans will also be reduced proportionately.

The reverse stock split will reduce the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 14,208,606 shares to approximately 710,431 shares.

Registered stockholders holding pre-split shares of the common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares.
