KNOREX Receives Notification from NYSE American Regarding Delayed Annual Report Filing

KNOREX Ltd. (NYSE:KNRX) ("KNOREX" or the "Company"), a leading provider of AI-driven advertising technology solutions, today announced that it received a notice from NYSE Regulation on May 18, 2026 indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of NYSE American LLC ("NYSE American" or the "Exchange"). The Company filed a Form 12b-25 (the "NT 20-F"), which extended the due date for the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 20-F") to May 15, 2026. The Company failed to timely file its 2025 Form 20-F by the extended filing due date of May 15, 2026 (the "Filing Delinquency"). The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide.

NYSE Regulation notified the Company that NYSE American will closely monitor the status of the Company's 2025 Form 20-F and any subsequent delayed filings for a six-month period from the date of the Filing Delinquency until November 15, 2026 (the "Initial Cure Period"). If the Company fails to cure the Filing Delinquency within the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company's securities to be traded for up to an additional six-month period through May 15, 2027 (the "Additional Cure Period") depending on the Company's specific circumstances. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 1010 of the NYSE American Company Guide. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period of up to six months is appropriate and the Company fails to file the 2025 Form 20-F and any subsequent delayed filings by the end of that period, suspension and delisting procedures will generally commence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the NYSE American may in its sole discretion decide (i) not to afford the Company any Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, at all or (ii) at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, to truncate the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, and immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the Company is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the NYSE American Company Guide, including if the NYSE American believes, in its sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of the Company's securities on the exchange is inadvisable or unwarranted in accordance with Sections 1001-1006 of the NYSE American Company Guide.

The delinquency notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's class A ordinary shares, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the cure period subject to continued compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American.

As disclosed in the NT 20-F, the compilation, dissemination and review of the information required to be presented in the 2025 Form 20-F, including, without limitation, the financial statements to be included therein, had imposed time constraints that rendered timely filing of the 2025 Form 20-F impracticable. The filing of the 2025 Form 20-F has been further delayed from the Company's expectations at the time of the NT 20-F filing as a result of these ongoing processes. The Company is currently working with its accounting, audit and legal professionals to prepare the 2025 Form 20-F and plans to file within the Initial Cure Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable Exchange listing standards.
