Item

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

On

March 24, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an

amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

Prior

to adoption of the Amendment, the second sentence of Section 7.4 of the Bylaws provided that “[i]f any action is brought by any

party against another party, relating to or arising out of [the] Bylaws, or the enforcement hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled

to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense

of such action”, and Section 7.5 of the Bylaws provided (and continues to provide following adoption of the Amendment) that “[a]ll

powers, duties and responsibilities provided for in [the] Bylaws, whether or not explicitly so qualified, are qualified by the provisions

of the [Company’s certificate of incorporation] and applicable law.”

The

Amendment had the effect of amending and restating the second sentence of Section 7.4 of the Bylaws to read as follows: “If any

action is brought by any party against another party, relating to or arising out of these Bylaws, or the enforcement hereof, the prevailing

party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with

the prosecution or defense of such action, provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply with respect to “internal

corporate claims” as defined in Section 115 of the DGCL or in connection with any other claim that a stockholder, acting in its

capacity as a stockholder or in the right of the Corporation, has brought in an action, suit or proceeding.”

The

Amendment was intended to clarify that, consistent with Section 7.5 of the Bylaws and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation

Law, including Section 109(b) thereof, the Bylaws do not contain any provision that would impose liability on a stockholder for the attorneys’

fees or expenses of the Company or any other party in connection with an internal corporate claim, or in connection with any other claim

that a stockholder, acting in its capacity as a stockholder or in the right of the Company, has brought in an action, suit or proceeding.

The

foregoing description of the Amendment is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit

3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
