Explanatory Note

On April 7, 2025, Chijet Motor Company, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notification from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) notifying the Company of its decision to grant the Company’s request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with Listing Rules 5450(b)(2)(C) and 5450(b)(2)(A) on or before April 30, 2025 (the “Exception Period”).

As previously disclosed, on February 19, 2025, the Company received a Staff determination letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying the Company of the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Global Market due to the Company’s failure to regain compliance with: (1) the minimum $50 million market value of its listed securities requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A); and (ii) the minimum $15 million market value of its publicly held shares requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C). Following receipt of the letter, the Company appealed the Staff’s determination to the Panel and attended a hearing before the Panel on March 25, 2025.

During the Exception Period, the Company is required to provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this period that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements, including, but not limited to, any event that may call into question the Company’s ability to meet the terms of the exception granted.
