Material Changes
The material event reported is the receipt of a Notification Letter from Nasdaq stating that Netcapital Inc. is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regarding the minimum bid price requirement.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Timeline: The company has 180 calendar days, until August 3, 2026, to regain compliance. This requires a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days.
- Secondary Compliance Period: If the company fails to regain compliance by the initial deadline, it may be granted an additional 180 days, provided it meets other listing standards and notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to qualify for or succeed in the second compliance period will result in a determination to delist the common stock, at which point the company may appeal to a Hearings Panel.
- Management Action: Management intends to monitor the stock price and may consider implementing a reverse stock split to regain compliance.
- Current Trading Status: The notification has no immediate effect on trading; the stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "NCPL."
