Exhibit 99.1
CBAK Energy Completes Redomiciliation to the
Cayman Islands
Company’s Nasdaq listing and ticker symbol
“CBAT” remain unchanged
DALIAN, China, June 23, 2026 — 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.”
