On January 4, 2024, Michelle Fang resigned as a director and a member of the audit committee of PepperLime Health Acquisition Corporation (the "Company”), effective immediately. Ms. Fang’s resignation from the Company’s board of directors (the "Board”) was not a result of any disagreement with management or any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, except that she personally was not aligned with the industry the Company’s potential target was engaged in. Ms. Fang furnished the Company with a resignation letter, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 17.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company is now seeking a new director who will qualify as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, meets the financial sophistication requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules, and the criteria for independence under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
