SINGAPORE, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in compute and energy infrastructure, today announced that it plans to change the ratio of its American depositary shares ("ADSs") to its Class A ordinary shares from the current ratio of one ADS representing 15 Class A ordinary shares to a new ratio of one ADS representing 375 Class A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio Change"), effective on or about December 4, 2026, U.S. Eastern Time (the "Effective Date").
For the Company's ADS holders, the ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a 1-for-25 reverse split of the ADSs. Upon the Effective Date, ADS holders will exchange every 25 existing ADSs for one new ADS. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the depositary bank for the Company's ADS program, will arrange for the exchange. The Company's ADSs will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "CAN."
No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank, and the net cash proceeds from the sale, after deduction of applicable fees, taxes and expenses, will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders. The ADS Ratio Change is intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. It will have no impact on the Company's underlying Class A ordinary shares or its business operations, financial conditions, and no ordinary shares will be issued or canceled in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.
As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the trading price of the Company's ADSs is expected to increase proportionately upon the effectiveness of the ADS Ratio Change, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price following the ADS Ratio Change will equal or exceed 25 times the trading price prior to the change.
