<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Ji&rsquo;an, Jiangxi, China, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universe Pharmaceuticals INC (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) (Nasdaq: UPC), a pharmaceutical producer and distributor
in China, today announced that the Company received a written notification (the &ldquo;Notification Letter&rdquo;) from the Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (&ldquo;Nasdaq&rdquo;) on October 25, 2024, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed
securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$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. Based on the closing
bid price of the Company&rsquo;s ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days from September 13, 2024 to October 24, 2024, the Company
no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Notification Letter does not impact the Company&rsquo;s
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided
180 calendar days, or until April 23, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company&rsquo;s
ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event the Company
does not regain compliance by April 23, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s business operations are not affected
by the receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and may, if appropriate,
consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding ordinary
shares, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.</P>
