Item 8.01. Other Events.

GCT Semiconductor Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) currently intends to hold its 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) on September 18, 2025. The record date for the 2025 Annual Meeting is July 25, 2025. The Company, however, reserves the right to change the meeting date and/or record date. The 2025 Annual Meeting will be held virtually online by means of remote communication. Additional details regarding the exact time and matters to be voted upon at the 2025 Annual Meeting will be set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting in 2024, and therefore did not provide a deadline for stockholders’ proposals for consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting, the Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide the due date for the submission of any qualified stockholder proposals.

Stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2025 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, must ensure that such proposal is delivered to or mailed to and received by the Company’s Secretary at 2290 North 1st Street, Suite 201 San Jose, CA 95131 no later than July 11, 2025, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials. Such proposals must comply with all applicable procedures and requirements of Rule 14a-8.

If a stockholder does not submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement in accordance with Rule 14a-8 but does wish to propose an item of business at the 2025 Annual Meeting, then the stockholder must make sure that such proposal and the related notice comply with all applicable statutes and rules and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws and are received by the Company’s Secretary at 2290 North 1st Street, Suite 201 San Jose, CA 95131 no later than the close of business on June 16, 2025. Any stockholder proposal received after this deadline will be considered untimely and will not be considered at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than nominees approved by the Board must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.
