Exhibit 99.1
Gauzy
Announces Receipt of Delisting Notice from Nasdaq; Intends to Appeal
9.21.2026
TEL-AVIV,
Israel, September 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gauzy Ltd. (Nasdaq: Gauzy) (“Gauzy” or the “Company”), a global
leader in vision and light control technologies, today announced receipt of a delisting notification dated September 15, 2026 (the “Delisting
Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (“Nasdaq”). The Company was notified
that Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company's securities from the Nasdaq Global Market.
The
Company plans to exercise its right to request an appeal (the “Appeal”) the Staff Determination by filing a request
for oral hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815. Such Appeal hearing
request will result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the Appeal hearing, and in the meantime, the Company’s
securities will continue to be fully tradeable and listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.
As
previously disclosed, on March 17, 2026, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that the bid price of its ordinary shares
had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule
5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until
September 14, 2026, to regain compliance with the Rule. Since the Company failed to regain compliance with the Rule, its ordinary shares
are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market.
In
addition, on May 19, 2026, staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) notified the Company that it no longer complied with its obligation
to filed periodic reports in accordance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) since the Company failed to file its Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2025 (the “Form 20-F”). The Company had previously submitted a compliance plan to the Staff of Nasdaq, however,
as a result of its failure to regain compliance with the Rule, Nasdaq informed the Company, that, as set forth in Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A),
the Company is no longer eligible for the Staff to accept and review a plan of compliance with respect to the delinquent Form 20-F. As
such, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market. Accordingly,
the Company was notified that its ordinary shares would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market, unless the Company requests an Appeal
to the Panel by September 22, 2026, which the Company will do.
There
can be no assurance that upon the Appeal hearing, the Panel will determine to allow the continued listing of the Company's securities
on the Nasdaq Global Market. However, the Company believes that its currently improved financial position will support the continued
listing of its securities, which will remain trading pending the Appeal hearing.

timing and potential outcomes of that process; Gauzy’s ability to secure funding in order to maintain and support its operations;

and financial condition; Gauzy invests significant effort and capital seeking validation of its light and vision control products with
OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, mainly in the aeronautics and automobile markets, and there can be no assurance that it will win production
models, which could adversely affect its future business, results of operations and financial condition; failure to make competitive
technological advances will put Gauzy at a disadvantage and may lead to a negative operational and financial outcome; Gauzy being an
early growth-stage company with a history of losses and its anticipation that it expects to continue to incur significant losses for
the foreseeable future; its operating results and financial condition have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate in the future; it
is exposed to high repair and replacement costs; it may not be able to accurately estimate the future supply and demand for its light
and vision control products, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in its business and hinder its ability to generate revenue;
if it fails to accurately predict its manufacturing requirements, it could incur additional costs or experience delays; the estimates
and forecasts of market opportunity and market growth it provides may prove to be inaccurate, and it cannot assure that its business
will grow at similar rates, or at all; it may be unable to adequately control the capital expenditures and costs associated with its
business and operations; it may need to raise additional capital before it can expect to become profitable from sales of its light and
vision control products, which such additional capital may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and failure to obtain this
necessary capital when needed may force it to delay, limit or terminate its product development efforts or other operations; shortages
in supply, price increases or deviations in the quality of the raw materials used to manufacture its products could adversely affect
its sales and operating results; its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by disruptions

numerous laws and governmental regulations across various countries concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of its light
and vision control products, and some of its customers also require that it complies with other unique requirements relating to these
matters; if it is unable to obtain, maintain and protect effective intellectual property rights for its products throughout the world,
it may not be able to compete effectively in the markets in which it operates; the market price of its ordinary shares may be volatile
or may decline steeply or suddenly regardless of its operating performance, and it may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations;
its indebtedness could adversely affect its ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, limit its ability to react to changes
in the economy or its industry and prevent it from meeting its financial obligations; it has limited operating experience as a publicly
traded company in the United States; conditions in Israel could materially and adversely affect its business; and any other risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties in the Company’s reports filed from time to time with
the SEC, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March
