Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a
Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 13, 2024, J-Long Group Limited (“JL” and the “Company”)
received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for
the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) had been below the minimum of $1.00 per Ordinary Share required
for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the
listing of the Ordinary Shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “JL” without interruption
at this time.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 180 calendar
days, or until November 11, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If at any time before November 11, 2024, the closing
bid price of the Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 per Ordinary Share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide
written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price
Rule by November 11, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 day calendar period to regain compliance or be subject to
delisting. To qualify for the additional time, the Company must submit an on-line Transfer Application and pay a non-refundable $5,000
application fee. Also, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirements regarding the market value of publicly
held Ordinary Shares and all other initial listing standards, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company will
be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, during the additional
compliance period.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for its
Ordinary Shares and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

HONG KONG, May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- J-Long Group Limited

Rules (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice indicated that the Company has 180 days, or until November 11,
2024 (the “Compliance Deadline”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by having the closing bid

| Re: | J-Long Group Ltd. (the “Company”)
Nasdaq Security: Ordinary Shares
Nasdaq Symbol: JL |
Dear Mr. Wong:
Our Listing Rules (the “Rules”)
require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive
business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement.1 However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period
of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.
If at any time during
this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days, we will provide you written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. Please note that if the
Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the
expiration date in the table below, in order to regain compliance.2
In the event the Company does
not regain compliance with the Rule, the Company may be eligible for additional time.3 To qualify, the Company must submit,
no later than the expiration date, an on-line Transfer Application4 and submit a non-refundable $5,000 application fee in
accordance with the instructions provided on the attached “Fee Payment Form”.5 The Company will be required to
meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception
of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance
period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. As part of its review process, Staff will make a determination of whether we
believe the Company will be able to cure this deficiency. Should Staff conclude that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency,
or should the Company determine not to submit a transfer application or make the required representation, we will provide notice that
its securities will be subject to delisting.6

to a Hearings Panel. |
