Nasdaq grants Graphjet Technology’s request to continue its listing
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Graphjet Technology (“Graphjet” or “the Company”) announced today that it received a decision letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on July 25, 2025 granting the Company’s request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”).
The decision is conditioned on the Company (i) demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”) on or before August 29, 2025, (ii) demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(c)(1) (the “Periodic Filing Rule” and, together with the Bid Price Rule, the “Listing Rules”) on or before September 15, 2025, and (iii) providing the Panel with an update regarding the Company’s fundraising plans on or before September 30, 2025.
The Company will tirelessly work towards regaining compliance with the Bid Price Rule and the Periodic Filing Rule within the applicable timeframe provided in the Letter. In addition, the Company plans to provide the Panel with an update regarding the Company’s fundraising plans on or before September 30, 2025. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain or maintain compliance with the Listing Rules.
“We would like to thank the Panel for allowing the continued listing of Graphjet on Nasdaq and believing in our Company in this growing industry. I am confident that we would be able to meet compliance within the deadlines set by the Panel.
The Company is poised to capitalize on the export restriction of graphite imposed by China in December 2023 and the imposition of higher tariffs by US on the import of graphite from China. The control of supply of graphite by China has resulted in a shortage of graphite globally. Our graphite is produced entirely from agricultural waste material which is a recycled and renewable material that is not from China and is able to be used to produce electric vehicle batteries.
With our planned expansion to build a manufacturing plant in Nevada, we would be able to create new job opportunities in the American market. This in turn would rejuvenate the electric vehicle market which is expected to suffer from the reduction in supply of graphite.” says Chris Lai, CEO of Graphjet.
