Applies for additional 180-day minimum bid price compliance period
Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in crypto mining, today announced that the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") has approved the transfer of the listing of the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each representing 15 Class A ordinary shares, from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The transfer became effective at the opening of trading on July 1, 2026.
The transfer has no impact on the trading of the Company's ADSs, which continue to trade under the ticker symbol "CAN." The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial and corporate governance requirements to qualify for continued listing.
As previously disclosed, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq on January 14, 2026, indicating that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as the closing bid price of its ADSs remained below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq's listing rules, the Company was granted an initial 180-day compliance period until July 13, 2026, to regain compliance. Following the transfer of its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company has applied for an additional 180-day compliance period on July 6, 2026. Â If Nasdaq approves such application, the Company would be granted an extended compliance period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the Company's ADSs must maintain a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the applicable compliance period.
"Our transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market gives us maximum flexibility while we continue executing our long-term strategy," said Nangeng Zhang, chairman and CEO of Canaan. "As the convergence of AI and energy reshapes global compute demand, we remain focused on building long-term shareholder value by expanding our leadership in hardware manufacturing, growing our operations, and advancing our broader energy-plus-compute strategy. We are committed to taking the necessary steps to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and believe the Nasdaq compliance framework provides a viable path to support our continued listing status."
