Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule (Form 8-K)

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

On May 29, 2026 HWH International Inc. (the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) because the Company's stockholders' equity of $2,078,220 as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 was below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and because, as of May 29, 2026, the Company did not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

The Company's common stock will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company's ability to regain compliance with the listing standards. The Company has 45 calendar days from May 29, 2026, or until July 13, 2026, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from May 29, 2026, or until November 25, 2026, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, the Company will have the right to appeal such decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The Company intends to submit to Nasdaq, within the requisite time period, a plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company's plan or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) or maintain compliance with Nasdaq requirements in the future.

The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and does not affect the Company's business, operations, or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
