Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 18, 2025, Gulf Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had received the notification from the Shouguang Municipal People’s Government Office (the “Government of Shouguang City”) dated on December 15, 2025. To comply with the notice issued by the Government of Shouguang City, the Company expects to temporarily suspend the relevant operations in Shouguang City during the aforementioned period.
We believe such seasonal suspension aligns with and aids the Government of Shouguang City in achieving the target for the orderly extraction, effective utilization, and enhancement of the comprehensive development of brine resources and the protection of the ecological environment.
Typically, the demand for bromine sales decreases due to the Chinese New Year national holidays of our customers. Further, crude salt processing becomes more challenging during the winter period due to decreased temperatures.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 11, 2025, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, filed with the SEC on November 19, 2025, and in the Company’s other filings and submissions with the SEC. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update, amend or clarify these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
