CBL International Limited Has Regained Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement
On August 3, 2026, CBL International Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), received a formal notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), indicating that the Company had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Rule”) and this matter was closed.
As previously disclosed, the Company received a written notice dated as of August 12, 2025 (“Notice”) from Nasdaq, indicating that, for the thirty (30) consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice, the bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until February 9, 2026, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirement. The Company did not regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement during the first 180-calendar-day compliance period and submitted a written request to Nasdaq to provide it with an additional 180-day compliance period to cure the deficiency.
On February 10, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq advising that the Company had been granted an additional 180-day extension, or until August 10, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Nasdaq’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for listing on Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. On July 20, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-13 share consolidation of its class A ordinary shares and class B ordinary shares. Beginning with the opening of trading on July 20, 2026, the class B ordinary shares of the Company began to trade on a post-share consolidation basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol “BANL” but under a new CUSIP number of G1991X133.
On August 4, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the compliance notification from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, August 4, 2026 — CBL International Limited (“CBL International”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our company”) (Nasdaq: BANL), an established marine fuel logistics company providing one-stop solution for vessel refueling, today announced that on August 3, 2026, the Company received a formal notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
Previously on August 12, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that its listed securities failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until February 9, 2026, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirement. On February 10, 2026, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq advising that the Company had been granted an additional 180-day extension, or until August 10, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Nasdaq’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for listing on Nasdaq, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. On July 20, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-13 share consolidation of its Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Beginning with the opening of trading on July 20, 2026, the Class B ordinary shares of the Company began to trade on a post-share consolidation basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol “BANL” but under a new CUSIP number of G1991X133.
The recent notification from Nasdaq indicated that for the 20 consecutive business days, from July 20, 2026 to July 31, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares was at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and Nasdaq has stated that this matter is now closed.
