Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

TAICHUNG CITY, Taiwan, July 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — J-Star Holding Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: YMAT) (“J-Star” or the “Company”), today announced that it has received a written decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel determining that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Panel’s decision follows a hearing held on July 21, 2026, during which the Company’s management presented its strategic business plan and initiatives designed to support long-term shareholder value creation. On July 28, 2026, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff confirmed that the Company had regained compliance after its ordinary shares maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for the required 10 consecutive trading sessions. Based on this determination, the Panel concluded that the Company is in compliance with the applicable listing standard.

As a result, J-Star remains listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “YMAT” and is in compliance with all applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

Jonathan Chiang, Founder, Chairman and CEO of J-Star, commented, “We appreciate the Nasdaq Hearings Panel’s thoughtful review and its determination that J-Star has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. During the hearing, we presented our strategic roadmap and the operational milestones we believe will drive long-term growth. With this matter behind us, our management team is fully focused on executing our business plan, including advancing our battery materials initiatives, expanding our manufacturing capabilities, pursuing strategic growth opportunities, and creating long-term value for our shareholders. We remain confident in the strength of our strategy and our ability to build a leading advanced materials company.”
