CETY · Clean Energy Technologies, Inc.

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. faces a critical compliance issue with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which mandates timely filing of periodic SEC reports, specifically the overdue Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Notice received on April 17, 2026, triggers a 60-day window to submit a plan for regaining compliance, with possible extension up to 180 days from the 10-K due date, targeting October 12, 2026. While trading continues unaffected immediately, failure to resolve this could lead to delisting proceedings, including an appeal opportunity to a Nasdaq hearings panel. The Company is prioritizing completion of the 10-K filing. Potential delisting carries severe investor implications: diminished liquidity and stock price, fewer investors willing to hold shares impacting equity raises, restricted access to public markets via registration statements, and challenges in providing equity-based employee incentives. No guarantees exist on plan acceptance or timely compliance, heightening uncertainty around continued Nasdaq listing.
