Company’s Nasdaq listing and ticker symbol “CBAT” remain unchanged
DALIAN, China, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBAT) (“CBAK Energy” or the “Company”), a leading lithium-ion battery manufacturer and electric energy solution provider in China, today announced that it has completed its previously announced merger to redomicile from Nevada to the Cayman Islands (the “Redomicile Merger”). The Redomicile Merger became effective at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on June 23, 2026.
Pursuant to the Redomicile Merger, each outstanding share of the common stock of the Company was converted into the right to receive one ordinary share of CBAK Energy Technology Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“CBAK Cayman”) and the successor issuer of the Company pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The ordinary shares of CBAK Cayman will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “CBAT,” the same symbol under which the common stock of the Company was listed.
The Redomicile Merger did not change the Company’s business, day-to-day operations, strategy, operating subsidiaries, management team, employees, production facilities, customer and supplier relationships, or consolidated assets and liabilities. CBAK Cayman also assumed the Company’s existing equity incentive plans and outstanding awards, which continue on substantially the same terms and now relate to ordinary shares of CBAK Cayman. The Company undertook the Redomicile Merger to reduce certain ongoing operational, administrative, legal and accounting costs, simplify corporate administration, and align the legal structure of its parent company more closely with the international nature of its business. The Company also expects the Cayman structure to streamline governance procedures and provide greater flexibility for future corporate transactions.
“Moving our place of incorporation to the Cayman Islands brings the legal structure of the parent company closer to the international profile of our business,” said Zhiguang Hu, Chief Executive Officer of CBAK Energy. “The change is intended to reduce certain recurring public-company costs and simplify corporate administration. It does not alter our operations, management team or business plans.”
