TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Nocera, Inc. (NASDAQ:NCRA) ("Nocera" or the "Company") today announced that it has received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") confirming that the Company complies with the stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and that the matter is now closed.

In its letter dated August 10, 2026, Nasdaq Staff determined that, based on the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026, evidencing stockholders' equity of $5,435,030, the Company complies with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(1), 5550(b)(2) and 5550(b)(3) (collectively, the "Rule"). The Rule requires listed companies to maintain at least one of the following: (i) a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders' equity, (ii) a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, or (iii) net income from continuing operations of at least $500,000. The Company's reported stockholders' equity of $5,435,030 exceeds the $2.5 million minimum under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

Resolution of All Open Listing Matters

Nasdaq Staff had notified the Company on April 17, 2026 that it did not then satisfy the requirement. The determination announced today closes that matter. It follows the Company's announcement in July 2026 that it had regained compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and completes the resolution of the Company's open listing matters.

The Company achieved compliance through balance sheet strengthening reflected in its reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, rather than through any extension of time or conditional accommodation. Staff has confirmed compliance and closed the matter.

"This closes the book on every open listing matter in front of this company, and it closes it on the strength of the balance sheet rather than on an extension," said Andy Jin, Chief Executive Officer of Nocera. "Stockholders' equity of more than $5.4 million against a $2.5 million requirement is not a narrow pass. We said we would resolve these matters and build a platform at the same time, and over the past several weeks we have done exactly that, the QMAX acquisition, the INERGX investment, and now a compliant, cleanly listed public company positioned to execute. Our attention moves entirely to acquisitions and growth from here."

A Platform Positioned to Execute

The determination arrives as the Company advances its transformation into Nocera Holdings, a diversified holding company pursuing opportunities across artificial intelligence, AI infrastructure, data centers, robotics, biotechnology, blockchain and digital assets. In recent weeks the Company has announced the acquisition of a thirty percent (30%) interest in QMAX Technology Co., Ltd., a Taiwan-based memory and storage solutions company and authorized distribution channel for Micron / Crucial memory products, and a binding agreement to acquire an equity interest in INERGX Energy Optimisation Ltd, an emerging AI-native energy technology business.

With its listing matters resolved, the Company intends to direct its full attention to executing its acquisition strategy, expanding its operating platform and pursuing the infrastructure and technology opportunities it has identified across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the United States.
