Item
7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
April 1, 2026, HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock (the
“Reverse Split”). A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The
information included in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “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, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing 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. The information set forth under this
Item 7.01 shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K that is required
to be disclosed solely to satisfy the requirements of Regulation FD.
Item
8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved
a reverse stock split of the Company’s 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 Board.
The
Reverse Split will become effective on April 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”) and the Company’s
common stock is expected to begin trading under a new CUSIP number, 42240Q 203, on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on
April 6, 2026, on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis. The Reverse Split is intended to increase the price per share of the Company’s
common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq.
As
of the Effective Time, issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will automatically be reclassified such that
each 20 shares of pre-Reverse Split common stock will become 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 will not be affected by the Reverse Split. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and restricted stock units, and the number of shares authorized
and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans.
Stockholders
holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-Reverse Split shares. Stockholders
owning shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split,
subject to brokers’ particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split. For
those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company’s transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, will send instructions
for exchanging those certificates for shares held electronically in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either case representing
the post-Reverse Split number of shares.

HeartCore
Announces 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split
NEW
YORK and TOKYO, April 1, 2026 — HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTCR) (“HeartCore” or the “Company”),
an IPO consulting services company based in Tokyo, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a 1-for-20 reverse stock split
of its issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Split”). As previously announced, on June 30, 2025, HeartCore stockholders
approved the Reverse Split and granted the Board of Directors the authority to determine the exact split ratio (within the range approved
by stockholders) and when to proceed with the Reverse Split.
The
Reverse Split will become effective on April 2, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“Effective Time”) and the Company’s
common stock is expected to begin trading under a new CUSIP number, 42240Q 203, on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on
April 6, 2026, on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis. The Reverse Split is intended to increase the price per share of the Company’s
common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq.
As
of the Effective Time, issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will automatically be reclassified such that
each 20 shares of pre-Reverse Split common stock will become 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 will not be affected by the Reverse Split. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and restricted stock units, and the number of shares authorized
and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans.
Stockholders
holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-Reverse Split shares. Stockholders

those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company’s transfer agent, Transhare Corporation, will send instructions
for exchanging those certificates for shares held electronically in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either case representing
