GULF RESOURCES, INC. 8-K

What Happened
Gulf Resources, Inc. (GURE) announced it received a notice from Nasdaq on May 26, 2026 saying the company is non‑compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it did not timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and remains delinquent on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The notice does not have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of GURE common stock. The company must submit a plan to regain compliance by June 22, 2026; if Nasdaq accepts the plan, the company could be given until October 12, 2026 (up to 180 days from the Initial Delinquent Filing due date) to become current. Gulf Resources issued a press release on May 29, 2026 (filed as Exhibit 99.1).

Key Details

• Nasdaq notice date: May 26, 2026; company press release: May 29, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1).
• Delinquent filings: Form 10-Q for quarter ended March 31, 2026; outstanding Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2025 (Initial Delinquent Filing).
• Compliance plan deadline: June 22, 2026. If accepted, potential cure deadline: October 12, 2026 (up to 180 days).
• Rule cited: Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (timely SEC periodic filings requirement). No immediate trading suspension.

Why It Matters

• Investors rely on current SEC filings for financial transparency; continued delinquency means limited access to audited and quarterly financial information.
• If Gulf Resources fails to satisfy Nasdaq’s requirements or misses the cure deadlines, the company could face delisting proceedings, which can materially affect liquidity and share value.
• For now, trading remains unchanged, but shareholders should watch for the company’s submitted compliance plan and the timing of any filed Form 10-K/10-Q updates.
