Our
common stock was approved for listing on Nasdaq on February 13, 2020, under the symbol “MEDS”. On September 24, 2024, in
connection with our acquisition of Scienture, Inc. (k/n/a Scienture, LLC), we changed our symbol to “SCNX”. Prior to February
13, 2020, our common stock traded on the OTCQB Market under the symbol “TRXD”. At present, there is a limited market for

Common
Stock and Preferred Stock Outstanding and Holders of Record
As
of March 26, 2025, we had 12,515,019 shares of common stock outstanding, held by 90 stockholders of record, not including holders
who hold their shares in street name as well as 1,575,900 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Dividend
Policy
Although
we paid a special cash dividend in the first and third quarters of 2024, we have not historically paid or declared any cash dividends
on our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors.
Accordingly, investors have historically relied on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as
the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.
