Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 2, 2026, Nocera, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period from December 17, 2025 through January 30, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 3, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any time during the Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance during the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, subject to meeting the other continued listing standards and providing written notice of its intent to cure the deficiency, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
The Nasdaq letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCRA.” The Company is currently evaluating its options to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On January 28, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved the appointment of SFAI Malaysia PLT (“SFAI”), a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)-registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. SFAI was appointed to replace Enrome LLP (“Enrome”), the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm. Enrome resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of the Effective Date.
In its reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, filed with Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on June 20, 2025, Enrome did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no: (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Enrome on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure; or (ii) reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
During the same periods, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with SFAI regarding the matters described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Enrome with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Enrome furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Enrome’s letter dated February 3, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.

Item 5.02. Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On the Effective Date, the Board approved a one-time bonus for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in connection with certain financing transactions entered into by the Company.
The Board authorized the payment of a bonus equal to ten percent (10%) of the total net proceeds funded and available for use by the Company in connection with such financing transactions. The bonus was approved in recognition of the CEO’s contributions to the structuring, negotiation, and completion of such transactions. The Company’s officers were authorized to calculate and effectuate payment of the bonus in accordance with the Board’s approval and applicable law.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s press release dated December 16, 2025 and its Form 8-K dated January 27, 2026, the Company announced its intention to allocate $2,000,000 of corporate funds to purchase Bitcoin as part of its corporate treasury strategy and completed the first $1,000,000 tranche of this allocation on January 25, 2026.
