Item 8.01. Other Events

On February 23, 2026, BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. (the “Company”) announced the completion of a governance restructuring of its wholly owned subsidiary, Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (“Chemrex”).

Following a previously disclosed governance review, Chemrex’s board of directors has been streamlined to two directors: Matthew L. Barsing, appointed Chairman, and Angeline Chong, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, appointed Director.

Chemrex remains a wholly owned private subsidiary of the Company and continues to operate under the oversight framework of the Company’s Board of Directors and its committees.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized management to evaluate potential expansion initiatives at Chemrex, including biotechnology-focused development opportunities. In July 2025, the Board approved a staged capital allocation framework to support potential operational upgrades, subject to ongoing evaluation, execution planning, and market conditions. No definitive commitments have been made regarding the final scope, timing, or scale of any initiative under evaluation.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on February 23, 2026 is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 8.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
