Deficiency Notice Received From Nasdaq

On May 28, 2024, CN Energy Group. Inc. (“CNEY” or the “Company”) received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s Class A ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) had been below the minimum of $1.00 per Ordinary Share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) and did not meet the Minimum Bid Price Rule set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Ordinary Shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CNEY” without interruption at this time.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 180 calendar days, or until November 25, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If at any time before November 25, 2024, the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 per Class A Ordinary Share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and the matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by November 25, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day calendar period to regain compliance or be subject to delisting. The Company’s business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notice. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Class A Ordinary Shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
