Gulf Resources, Inc. Provides Updates on Nasdaq Hearing Process

SHOUGUANG, China, Nov. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gulf Resources, Inc. (“Gulf Resources,” “we,” or the “Company”) provided today an update regarding its appeal of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff’s delisting determination and the current trading status of its common stock.

On November 7, 2025, the Company received a hearing notification letter (“Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC scheduling an oral hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel for December 9, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Following the Company’s previously announced 1-for-10 reverse stock split that became effective for trading on October 27, 2025, the Company’s common stock has maintained a closing bid price at or above $1.00 per share for more than ten consecutive trading days as of Monday, November 10, 2025. In light of this development, and in accordance with the instructions contained in the Letter, the Company has submitted a request to cancel the scheduled hearing, as the Company believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, subject to the Company’s Listing Analyst review and confirmation.

As previously disclosed, trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq was suspended on November 11, 2025. The Company continues to work diligently with Nasdaq and will provide updates regarding any material developments, including the Company’s Listing Analyst determination with respect to its request to cancel the hearing and any next steps toward resuming trading on Nasdaq, if approved.

In the meantime, the Company is working diligently to prepare for the scheduled hearing and will meet all interim submission and procedural deadlines set forth by Nasdaq.
