Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued
Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 13, 2019,
Gulf Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) received a staff deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”)
informing the Company that it has failed to comply with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval requirements set forth in Listing Rule
5635(c) (the “Rule”). In January 2019, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock from treasury shares to
a consultant for strategic investment and investor relations consulting services (the “Equity Grant”). The shares were
not issued from a shareholder approved equity compensation plan and the Company did not receive shareholder approval for the Equity
Grant. The Company is continuing to review its internal records relating to prior issuances, and as information becomes available
regarding any shares issued in similar circumstances, the Company will notify Nasdaq.
The Company has until
October 28, 2019 to submit a plan to regain compliance If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to one hundred
eighty calendar days from September 13, 2019 to evidence compliance. The Company is currently doing everything possible to cure
its deficiencies regarding the Rule.
