Cenntro Inc. (NASDAQ:CENN) ("Cenntro" or "the Company"), a pioneering electric commercial vehicle company with advanced, market-validated, and purpose-built vehicles, today announced that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day extension from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 closing bid price requirement ("the Minimum Bid Price Requirement") as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule") for continued listing on Nasdaq.

The Company now has until April 20, 2026 to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement as set forth in the Rule.

Nasdaq's determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company's written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse stock split. The notification 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 "CENN".

Previously, on April 25, 2025, Cenntro received a letter (the "Notice") from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), because the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was below $1.00 per share for thirty consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar days from the Notification Date, until October 22, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

To regain compliance with the Rule, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days on or prior to the end of the 180-day extension period, or April 20, 2026. The Company intends to take all reasonable measures to regain compliance under the Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market's continued listing requirements or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
