Damon Announces Plan to Resume Trading

VANCOUVER, BC, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Damon Inc. (Nasdaq: DMN) ("Damon" or the "Company"), a designer and developer of electric motorcycles and other personal mobility products that seek to empower the personal mobility sector through innovation, data intelligence and strategic collaborations, today announced that the Company has determined to forego its right to appeal Nasdaq's delisting determination, to enable the Company's common shares to begin trading on an alternative market. The Nasdaq staff has informed the Company that its common shares will resume trading on Nasdaq for one trading day, on May 19, 2025, prior to suspending the common shares as of the following trading day. The Company currently expects that its common shares will begin trading on the OTC Pink Current Market maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. ("OTC Markets") beginning on May 20, 2025, in accordance with Rule 15c2-11(f)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

The OTC Pink Current Market will become the OTCID Basic Market effective as of July 1, 2025. The OTCID Basic Market is for companies that meet a minimal current information standard and provide management certification, without the qualitative standards of the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB"). As a SEC reporting company, the Company satisfies and exceeds the minimal current information standard of the OTCID. The Company will continue to pursue its application to trade on the OTCQB, though no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to satisfy the criteria for trading on the OTCQB or that the staff of OTC Markets will approve the Company's application to trade on the OTCQB.
