LISHUI, China, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CN Energy Group. Inc. (NASDAQ:CNEY) ("CNEY" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed company, today announced that it received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company's Class A ordinary shares from The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Staff Determination"). The Staff Determination was issued because the bid price of the Company's Class A ordinary share has closed at less than $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days from December 3, 2025 through January 15, 2026 and, as a result, the Company does not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In addition, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period or extension specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) because the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period and has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more. As noted in the Staff Determination, the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse stock split on January 19, 2024 and a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on May 19, 2025, resulting in a cumulative 1-for-750 reverse stock split ratio for the Class A ordinary shares.

On January [21], 2026, the Company submitted a hearing request to appeal the Staff Determination to a hearings penal (the "Panel"). The hearing request automatically stays the suspension of trading in the Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case pending the Panel's decision. In connection with the hearing, the Company intends to present a plan to the Panel seeking an exception or other relief to address the deficiencies identified in the Staff Determination. During the appeal process with the Panel, the Company's Class A ordinary shares will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq.

The Staff Determination does not affect the Company's business operations or its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
