Initiated the transition to over-the-counter (OTC) trading. The Company will provide updates regarding OTC market availability.

" We respect Nasdaq's process and are pursuing all avenues to regain compliance through the appeal process," said Xiaofeng Peng, CEO of Phoenix Motor Inc. "Our operations and growth strategy remain unchanged, and we are committed to maintaining transparency with our investors during this transition."

The Company is advancing its plan to meet Nasdaq's requirements, including:

Reverse Stock Split Approval - The Board continues to recommend shareholders approve a reverse stock split (ratio range: 1-for-1.5 to 1-for-5) to address the bid price deficiency.

Imminent Annual Meeting - The shareholder meeting will proceed as scheduled on April 18, 2025, at the Company's headquarters (1500 Lakeview Loop, Anaheim, CA), to resolve corporate governance requirements.
