Hongli Group Inc. Announces Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement

WEIFANG, CHINA, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hongli Group Inc. (NASDAQ:HLP) (the "Company") today announces that on October 3, 2025, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), dated October 2, 2025, stating that the Company has regained compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of its Ordinary Shares for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). Nasdaq made this determination of compliance after the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") has been trading at $1.00 per share or greater for the last 12 consecutive business days from September 16, 2025 to October 1, 2025. Accordingly, Nasdaq has considered that the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and this matter has been resolved.

As the Company previously announced, on July 10, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter (the "Notice") from the Staff. The Notice informed the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares over the 30 consecutive business day period between May 27, 2025 and July 9, 2025, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Notice had no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company was provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until January 6, 2026, to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). If at any time before January 6, 2026, the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares reaches or exceeds $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff would provide written notification that the Company had achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter would be resolved.
