Price Notice From Nasdaq</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The9 Limited (Nasdaq: NCTY ) (&#8220;The9&#8221;
or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), an established Internet company, today announced that it received a notification letter from the Listing
Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (&#8220;Nasdaq&#8221;) on November 17, 2022 notifying the Company that the minimum
bid price per American depositary share (&#8220;ADS&#8221;), each representing thirty Class A ordinary shares of the Company, was below
US$1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in
Rule 5550(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company&#8217;s
securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Listing
Rules, the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until May 16, 2023 (the &#8220;Compliance Period&#8221;), to regain
compliance with Nasdaq&#8217;s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per ADS
is at least US$1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance
and the matter will be closed.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In the event that the Company does not regain compliance
before the expiration of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if it
meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq
Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency
during the second compliance period.</P>
