What Happened

• Gulf Resources, Inc. announced it received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on April 23, 2026, stating the company is non‑compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for not timely filing its Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
• The notice does not have any immediate effect on the listing or trading of the company’s common stock. Nasdaq requires the company to submit a plan to regain compliance; if accepted, Nasdaq may grant up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10‑K due date — until October 12, 2026 — to become current.
