Gulf Resources Announces A 1-For-10 Reverse Stock Split Of Its Common Stock, Effective October 27, 2025

Gulf Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:GURE) ("Gulf Resources," "we," or the "Company") announced today that it will implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"), effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on October 27, 2025. The Company's common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Monday, October 27, 2025, and will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "GURE." The new CUSIP number for the common stock will be 40251W507.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to increase the bid price of the common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's stockholders authorized the reverse stock split at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on September 9, 2025, with the final ratio determined by the Company's Board of Directors.  

On October 10, 2025 the Company's Board of Directors has determined the final ratio to be 10 to 1. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 10 shares of the Company's pre-split common stock issued and outstanding will be automatically reclassified into one new share of the Company's common stock. This will reduce the number of shares outstanding from approximately 13.63 million shares to approximately 1.36 million shares. The number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock will remain unchanged. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company's equity plans and grants thereunder, as applicable. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of the common stock.

The combination of, and reduction in, the shares of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will occur automatically at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split without any additional action on the part of the Company's stockholders. The Company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split and will send stockholders of record holding their shares electronically in book-entry form a transaction notice indicating the number of shares of common stock held after the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold their shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee will have their positions adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to their broker, bank, or other nominee's particular processes, and are not expected to be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
