**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

Zhongchao Inc. (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this "Form 20-F/A") to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Original Form 20-F"), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2025. This Form 20-F/A is being filed solely for the purpose of updating the disclosure in Item 16G of Part II of the Original Form 20-F. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Item 16G of Part II of the Original Form 20-F is hereby amended and restated in its entirety.

This Form 20-F/A includes new certifications as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, dated as of the date of filing of this Form 20-F/A.

Except as described above or as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of this Form 20-F/A, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 20-F. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Form 20-F/A continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 20-F, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Form 20-F.

**Item 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

As a Cayman Islands exempted company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq Stock Market Rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.

While we voluntarily follow most Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we may choose to take advantage exemptions afforded to us and follow certain home country corporate governance practices, as a result of which, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Except those rules which we are required to follow pursuant to the provisions of Rule 5615(a)(3), we choose to follow home country practice in place of all of the requirements of Rule 5600 as listed below:

● Rule 5620(a), pursuant to which each company listing common stock or voting preferred stock, or their equivalents, shall hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the issuer's fiscal year-end.

● Rule 5620(b), pursuant to which each company shall solicit proxies and provide proxy statements for all meetings of shareholders and shall provide copies of such proxy solicitation to Nasdaq.

● Rule 5635(a), pursuant to which shareholder approval is required in certain circumstances prior to an issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company.

● Rule 5635(b), pursuant to which shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the company.

● Rule 5635(c), pursuant to which shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when a stock option or purchase plan is to be established or materially amended or other equity compensation arrangement made or materially amended, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees, or consultants, subject to certain exceptions.

● Rule 5635(d), pursuant to which shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the company of common stock (or securities convertible into
or exercisable for common stock) at a price less than the greater of book or market value which together with sales by officers, directors
or Substantial Shareholders of the company equals 20% or more of common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the
issuance; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the company of common stock (or securities convertible into
or exercisable common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance
for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock.

See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees" for more information.
