Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Gulf Resources, Inc. disclosed that Nasdaq accepted its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and granted additional time to catch up on required SEC reports. The company remains delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The notice states that Gulf Resources must file these delinquent reports by the extended deadlines to demonstrate compliance. If it does not, Nasdaq staff may move to delist the company’s common stock. For now, the deficiency and extension notices do not affect the current listing or trading of the shares, while the company works under a Compliance Plan and warns there is no assurance it will successfully regain full compliance.

Positive

None.

Negative

Heightened Nasdaq listing risk: Gulf Resources remains delinquent on its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and Nasdaq may delist the stock if the company fails to regain compliance under the Extension Letter.

Insights

Nasdaq granted more time, but delisting risk remains if filings stay late.

Gulf Resources has secured an extension from Nasdaq after submitting a Compliance Plan, but it is still late on its Form 10-K for December 31, 2025 and Form 10-Q for March 31, 2026. The key trigger is compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely periodic reports.

The Extension Letter makes clear that if the company does not regain compliance when it files the delinquent reports, Nasdaq staff can move to delist the stock. While the shares continue trading on Nasdaq for now, investors face elevated listing risk until the reports are filed and accepted.

The company states it is committed to executing the Compliance Plan but explicitly notes there is no assurance of success. Future SEC filings of the delayed Form 10-K and Form 10-Q will be important to see whether Nasdaq’s requirements are ultimately met or whether further listing actions follow.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) regulatory

"Extension of Time to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)"

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange to promptly notify the exchange if their stock price falls below a certain minimum level, known as the "initial listing standards." This rule helps ensure that investors are aware of significant declines in a company's stock value, which could signal financial trouble or increased risk. Essentially, it helps maintain transparency and protect investors by keeping them informed about important changes in a company's stock performance.

Delinquent Reports regulatory

"together with the “Form 10-K”, the “Delinquent Reports”"

Deficiency Letters regulatory

"it received delinquency notifications from Nasdaq ... (the “Deficiency Letters”)"

Compliance Plan regulatory

"The Company submitted a plan ... to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”)"

A compliance plan is a company's documented roadmap of rules, procedures and checks designed to ensure it follows laws, industry rules and internal policies. Think of it as an instruction manual and regular checklist that helps prevent costly mistakes, fines or business disruptions by flagging problems early and guiding corrective action. Investors watch these plans because a clear, enforced plan lowers legal and reputational risk and indicates stronger management and governance.

Extension Letter regulatory

"received a written notice from Nasdaq (the Extension Letter”)"

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What did Gulf Resources (GURE) announce regarding its Nasdaq listing?

Gulf Resources reported that Nasdaq accepted its plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and granted extra time. The company must use this extension to file overdue SEC reports or risk potential delisting of its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Which SEC reports is Gulf Resources (GURE) currently delinquent in filing?

Gulf Resources is delinquent on its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. These two filings, referred to as the Delinquent Reports, are central to regaining Nasdaq compliance.

Does the Nasdaq extension immediately affect GURE stock trading on Nasdaq?

The Nasdaq Deficiency Letters and the Extension Letter have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of Gulf Resources’ common stock. The shares remain on Nasdaq as long as the company continues to meet other listing requirements while working to cure its reporting delinquency.

What happens if Gulf Resources fails to regain compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5250(c)(1)?

If Gulf Resources does not demonstrate compliance when it files the delinquent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, Nasdaq staff may notify the company that its securities will be subject to delisting. That outcome would follow the process described in the Extension Letter from Nasdaq.

How is Gulf Resources (GURE) responding to the Nasdaq delinquency notices?

Gulf Resources submitted a Compliance Plan to Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications staff on June 17, 2026 and received an Extension Letter. The company states it is committed to taking the actions in that plan, while cautioning there is no assurance it will successfully regain full Nasdaq compliance.

What forward-looking risks does Gulf Resources highlight in this update?

The company notes risks that completing and filing the Form 10-K may take longer than expected, that it may not respond satisfactorily to Nasdaq inquiries, and that it may not become current with SEC reports, all of which could materially affect its Nasdaq listing status.

Extension of Time to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)

On June 25, 2026, Gulf Resources (the “Company”) received a written notice from Nasdaq (the
Extension Letter”) stating that it had accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). Nasdaq granted the Company a plan period to regain compliance with the Rule. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this current report on Form 8-K have the meanings given to them in the Previous Announcements (as defined below).

As previously reported in the current report on Forms 8-K (the “Previous Announcements”) filed on April 27, 2026 and May 29, 2026 with the Securities Exchange Commission by the Company, the Company announced that it received delinquency notifications from Nasdaq on April 23, 2026 and May 26, 2026 (the “Deficiency Letters”), due to the Company’s non-compliance with the Rule as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its annual report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the period ended December 31, 2025 and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q” and together with the “Form 10-K”, the “Delinquent Reports”), respectively. As of the date of this Form 8-K, the Company remains delinquent in filing its Delinquent Reports.

The Company submitted a plan to the Nasdaq Listing Qualification (the “Staff”) to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) with the Nasdaq Requirements on June 17, 2026. Under the Extension Letter, the Company is required to file its delinquent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q by the applicable extended deadline to evidence compliance with the relevant Nasdaq requirements.The Extension Letter further provides that if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing the Delinquent Reports, Staff will notify the Company that its securities will be subject to delisting.

The previously received Deficiency Letters and the Extension Letter have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the other applicable listing requirements.

The Company is committed to taking the actions set forth in the plan and intends to use all reasonable efforts to regain compliance with the initiatives and conditions set forth in the Compliance Plan within the plan period. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the Nasdaq Requirements within the planned period.
