Canaan Inc. has received an additional 180-day period from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, extending the deadline to January 11, 2027. The company satisfies all other applicable listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
