TAICHUNG CITY, Taiwan, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- J-Star Holding Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: YMAT) (“J-Star” or the “Company”), today announced that it plans to implement a 1-for-5 share consolidation of its Class A ordinary shares (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) (the "Share Consolidation"), effective on July 10, 2026.

Beginning with the opening of trading on July 10, 2026, the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a post-Share Consolidation basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol "YMAT", but under a new CUSIP number of G81237136. The objective of the Share Consolidation is to enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Upon the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation, every five (5) issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value of US$0.50 each, and Class B Ordinary Shares, par value of US$0.50 each, will automatically be converted into one issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share, par value of US$2.50 each, and Class B Ordinary Shares, par value of US$2.50 each, respectively. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Share Consolidation. Instead, any fractional shares that would have resulted from Share Consolidation will be rounded up to the next whole number. The Share Consolidation affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company's outstanding ordinary shares, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares.

The Share Consolidation was approved by the Company's board of directors on May 8, 2026 and its shareholders on June 8, 2026.
