Nasdaq Notice Minimum Bid Price Requirement
Nasdaq Notice
On September 3, 2024, Crown LNG
Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands (the Company), received written notice (the Notice) from the Listing Qualifications Department of
The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) indicating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the Rule) requiring that listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1
per share (the Minimum Bid Price) based upon the Companys closing bid price for 30-day trading period of July 22 to August 30, 2024. Additionally, the Notice confirms
that the Rule grants the Company 180 calendar days, or until March 3, 2025 to regain compliance (the Compliance Period). Further, the Notice states that Nasdaq will provide confirmation of compliance and close the
matter if the Companys listed securities maintain the Minimum Bid Price for ten consecutive days at any time during the Compliance Period. The Notice serves only as a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current
effect on the listing or trading of the Companys securities. Though there can be no assurance that the Company will regain or maintain compliance with the Rule, the Company is exercising diligent efforts and intends to regain compliance with
the Rule within the Compliance Period.

Dear Mr. Husemoen:
As we discussed, our Listing Rules (the Rules) require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Based upon
the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement.1 However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days
in which to regain compliance.
If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Companys security is at least $1 for a
minimum of ten consecutive business days, we will provide you written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. Please note that if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later
than ten business days prior to the expiration date in the table below in order to regain compliance.2
In the event the Company does not regain compliance, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the
continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention
to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, we will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if
it appears to Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, we will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.3

letter. |

Resources on the attached page and access the link Frequently Asked Questions related to continued listing. |

At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. |
