Exhibit
99.1
Netcapital
Announces Intention to Complete a Reverse Stock Split at Special Stockholder Meeting
Boston,
May 24, 2024 — Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NCPL, NPCLW), a digital private capital markets ecosystem,
intends to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about May 28, 2024 in connection with a special meeting
of stockholders to be held on July 24, 2024. The proxy statement will include a proposal for a reverse stock split of its issued and
outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-100, with the exact range to be determined the
Company’s board of directors.
The
reverse stock split to be proposed to the Company’s stockholders in the proxy statement is intended to resolve the issue raised
in notice the Company received from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) on September 1, 2023 regarding the Company’s
non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq
Capital Market. Specifically, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per
share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency
continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. The Company initially had 180 calendar days, or until by February 28, 2024, to
regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company was unable to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
by February 28, 2024. On February 29, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Extension Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying
the Company that its request for an extension to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement has been granted, and the Company
has an additional 180 calendar days, or until August 26, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Nasdaq’s
determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other
applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s
written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
The
Company can regain compliance at any time within the second compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock
is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

Forward
Looking Statements
Certain
statements included in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor
provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied
by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,”
“seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate
future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, statements regarding the Company’s intent to file and disseminate a proxy statement with respect to a special meeting of the
Company’s stockholders and to effect a reverse stock split if approved by the Company’s stockholders. These statements are
based on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual events and circumstances. All forward-looking
statements are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions, and many actual events and circumstances are beyond
the control of the Company. In particular, although the Company intends to return to compliance with the Nasdaq’s continued listing
standards, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to do so, whether as a result of the company’s inability to
obtain stockholder approval for the reverse stock split or a further decline in the company’s stock price. In addition, the failure
of the company to remain in compliance with other Nasdaq listing standards could also result in a delisting of the Company’s common
stock from the Nasdaq. The Company also reserves the right, in its discretion, to abandon the reverse stock split at any time prior to
filing the applicable amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Utah Secretary of State. Additional discussion of factors
that could affect the company’s future results is contained in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. In addition,
forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of
this press release. the Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s assessments to change.
However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically
disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments
of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Important
Additional Information for Stockholders
