In its public communications, Graphjet has associated its materials with applications in battery anode materials and in sectors that include the semiconductor industry. It has also referenced interest from potential customers, including visits from management executives of a South Korean conglomerate active in steel and battery materials, and discussions around potential supply of its graphite material.
Corporate structure and capital markets
Graphjet Technology is organized as a Cayman Islands exempted company. Its Class A ordinary shares have been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and have been listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbol GTI, as reflected in multiple Form 8-K filings. The company identifies itself as an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company in its registration statement on Form S-1.
Company filings and proxy materials describe Class A ordinary shares with a stated par value, and detail proposals relating to share capital, warrant exercises, and share issuances. For example, a definitive proxy statement outlines proposals to permit the exercise of warrants, to approve share issuances under specific agreements, to increase authorized share capital, and to adopt amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to reflect that increase. The proxy materials also describe the re-election of a director, the ratification of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and a proposal to adjourn the annual general meeting if needed.
Listing status and trading venue
During 2025, Graphjet received several notices from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC regarding compliance with continued listing standards. Form 8-K filings describe notices related to:
- Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), concerning timely filing of required periodic financial reports with the SEC.
- Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), concerning the minimum bid price requirement.
- Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), concerning a minimum market value of listed securities of $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive trading days.
- Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), concerning a minimum market value of publicly held shares.
In a Form 8-K dated September 26, 2025, the company reported that it had received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that it had regained compliance with the periodic filing rule and the bid price rule, and that it would be subject to a one-year mandatory panel monitor period. Subsequent filings, however, report that on November 11, 2025, a Nasdaq Hearings Panel determined to delist the company’s Class A ordinary shares from The Nasdaq Global Market due to deficiencies under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2) and 5450(b)(3)(C). The delisting became effective on November 13, 2025.
Following the delisting, the company disclosed in Form 8-K filings that its Class A ordinary shares began trading on an over-the-counter market under the ticker symbol GTIJF, and that it submitted a timely appeal of the Panel’s decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council. The company has requested that the Council review and reverse the delisting decision and authorize a provisional relisting during the appeal process, while cautioning that there can be no assurance the appeal will be successful.
Financing and capital transactions
Graphjet’s SEC filings describe several financing and capital-related arrangements. An October 16, 2025 Master Loan Agreement with International Liquidity, LLC provides for a secured, non-recourse term loan, with the principal amount tied to the fair market value of pledged collateral. The loan is secured by a pledge of shares to be issued to the lender, and the related Master Pledge Agreement specifies that the pledged shares are to be returned to the company upon full repayment of the loan.
The company’s S-1 registration statement describes the registration for resale of Class A ordinary shares held or issuable to various selling securityholders. These shares include those issuable upon the exercise of warrants, shares issued or issuable under a sale and purchase agreement related to property from which the company operates, shares issued as settlement of debts, and shares issuable as collateral for the loan from International Liquidity, LLC. The prospectus notes that the company will receive proceeds only to the extent that warrants are exercised for cash, and that it will not receive proceeds from the resale of shares by the selling securityholders.
Research collaborations and industry context
Graphjet has announced a collaboration with the Centre for Materials Engineering and Smart Manufacturing (MERCU) of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) under a letter of intent for a research consortium. The collaboration focuses on using graphite and graphene in additive manufacturing technology to develop advanced heat sinks for thermal management applications. Graphjet has indicated that its in-house laboratory will support this collaboration by enabling quality testing and research on improvements to its materials.
In its news releases, the company links its activities to trends in data centers and semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in relation to specialized chips and AI chips. It notes that data centers are expanding in Malaysia and the Southeast Asia region, and that graphite and graphene play roles in thermal management and semiconductor processes. These statements are presented by the company as part of its rationale for pursuing collaborations and expanding its production capabilities.
Share structure actions
In August 2025, Graphjet disclosed that its shareholders approved a share consolidation proposal at an extraordinary general meeting. The proposal authorized the board of directors to effect a consolidation of the company’s ordinary shares within a specified ratio range. The board subsequently determined a consolidation ratio of 1-for-60. A later press release and Form 8-K describe the effective date of the share consolidation and state that the company’s ordinary shares would begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Global Market under the existing trading symbol GTI as of that date. The company has stated that the share consolidation is intended to increase the trading price of the ordinary shares in connection with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
