Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 27, 2023, China Pharma Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification (the “Deficiency Letter”) from the NYSE AMERICAN LLC (“NYSE American”) informing it that the Company is not in compliance with certain NYSE American continued listing standards (the “Listing Standards”).

The Deficiency Letter indicated that the Company’s securities had been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and most recently the average price of the Company’s common stock had been below $0.20 on a 30-day average price. Pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, the NYSE American staff determined that the Company’s continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the staff determined to be no later than March 27, 2024. The Company remains subject to the conditions set forth in the NYSE American’s letter dated June 15, 2022 for stockholders’ equity noncompliance, as previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2022. The Company intends to regain compliance with the Listing Standards by undertaking a measure or measures that are for the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while it attempts to regain compliance with the Listing Standards, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. The NYSE American notification does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and rules and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s material agreements.
