CBAK Energy Redomiciles to Cayman Islands, Keeps Nasdaq Listing
CBAK Energy has completed a redomiciliation to the Cayman Islands while retaining its Nasdaq listing and CBAT ticker symbol.

By anchoring its legal identity in a jurisdiction widely accepted by global exchanges, CBAK Energy is positioning itself for operational and financial flexibility going forward.
