|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 20 | Nasdaq bid-price notice | Negative | +2.9% | Nasdaq notified shares failed to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news often saw price moves diverge from headline tone, with both negative and positive developments sometimes met by opposite share reactions.
Over the past months, Gauzy has repeatedly interacted with Nasdaq on listing compliance. Notices in February–March 2026 covered board independence and minimum bid price issues, while a March 19 update highlighted regained compliance on governance. Concurrently, French subsidiaries entered court-supervised reorganization and a public tender process (March 10, 2026). Management turnover and a proposed $50 million equity line on January 26, 2026 coincided with a sharp selloff. Today’s late 20-F filing notice adds another listing-risk layer to this regulatory and restructuring backdrop.

The Letter is in addition to the previously disclosed letter regarding the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards related the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “GAUZ.” However, the Company will be included in Nasdaq’s public list of non-compliant companies, and a non-compliance indicator will be broadcast over Nasdaq’s market data dissemination network.

If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Hearing Panel under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). If the Company fails to timely regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the securities of the Company will be subject to delisting on Nasdaq.
