ANAHEIM, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 15, 2025 / Phoenix Motor Inc. (the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses and electrification solutions provider for medium-duty vehicles, today announced that it has formally appealed the Nasdaq delisting determination and is taking proactive steps to protect shareholder value following the trading halt of its common stock (previously traded under: PEV).

Hearing Request and Continued OTC Trading

As previously disclosed, Nasdaq suspended trading of the Company's common stock effective today, April 15, 2025, due to non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and the Company's failure to hold an annual shareholder's meeting in 2024. The Company has:

Timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the delisting decision.
Initiated the transition to over-the-counter (OTC) trading. The Company will provide updates regarding OTC market availability.

" We respect Nasdaq's process and are pursuing all avenues to regain compliance through the appeal process," said Xiaofeng Peng, CEO of Phoenix Motor Inc. "Our operations and growth strategy remain unchanged, and we are committed to maintaining transparency with our investors during this transition."

Progress on Compliance Measures

The Company is advancing its plan to meet Nasdaq's requirements, including:

Reverse Stock Split Approval - The Board continues to recommend shareholders approve a reverse stock split (ratio range: 1-for-1.5 to 1-for-5) to address the bid price deficiency.
Imminent Annual Meeting - The shareholder meeting will proceed as scheduled on April 18, 2025, at the Company's headquarters (1500 Lakeview Loop, Anaheim, CA), to resolve corporate governance requirements.
