KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 16, 2026 — CBL International Limited (“CBL International”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our company”) (Nasdaq: BANL), an established marine fuel logistics company providing one-stop solution for vessel refueling, today announced that it intends to effect a reverse share split of its Class B ordinary shares on a 1-for-13 basis (the “Reverse Share Split”). The Company’s Class B ordinary shares will begin trading on a post-split basis when the market opens on July 20, 2026. The Company’s Class B ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BANL” with a new CUSIP number G1991X133.
The Reverse Share Split has been approved by the Company’s shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, and is being effectuated primarily to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) relating to the maintenance of the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares.
Prior to the Reverse Share Split, there are currently 14,325,327 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Share Split, every thirteen (13) shares of par value of USD0.0001 each of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares as of the effective date will automatically be combined into one (1) Class A ordinary share of par value of USD0.0013 each of the Company and one (1) Class B ordinary share of par value of USD0.0013 each of the Company, respectively. Any fractional shares that would have otherwise resulted from the Reverse Share Split will be rounded up to the next whole number at the participant level and no fractional shares will be issued. The Reverse Share Split 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 rounding up of fractional shares.
