Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 21, 2026, Flag Ship Acquisition Corporation

(the “Company”) received an additional deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications

Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-Q

for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. As reported in a press release dated April 22, 2026, the Company initially received a deficiency

notice from Nasdaq for failing to timely file its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “Initial Deficiency Notice”).

As of the date of this report, the Company remains delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form

10-K”), and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q”), as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule

5250(c)(1).

Under Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company

must submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq within 60 calendar days of the date of the Initial Deficiency Notice. If the Company’s

plan is accepted, then Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the date that the Form 10-K should have been filed,

or October 12, 2026. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company continues to

work diligently to complete and file the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to

regain compliance with the listing requirements discussed above or otherwise satisfy the other Nasdaq listing criteria.

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 27, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the

receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of

Form 8-K, the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01, including the press release furnished herewith as

Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

(the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by

reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language

in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.1

Flag Ship Acquisition Corporation Receives Additional Nasdaq Notification Regarding Late Filing of Quarterly Report

NEW YORK, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flag Ship Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: FSHP) (the "Company") announced that it received a second notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on May 21, 2026 (the “Notice”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of its failure to timely file its periodic report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As previously announced on April 22, 2026, the Company received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department on April 17, 2026 (the “Initial Notice”) as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”).

The notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from receipt of the Initial Notice, or until June 16, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K due date, or until October 12, 2026, for the Company to regain compliance.

The Company intends to take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan or grant an exception, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period that may be granted.

This press release is issued in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s intention to file the Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, submit a compliance plan, and regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied, including the Company’s ability to complete its financial statements and file required reports in a timely manner, and Nasdaq’s acceptance of any compliance plan. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
