Item

3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

April 17, 2026, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”)

from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not

in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report

on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”).

The

Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Notice has

no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance

with the Rule, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar

days from receipt of the Notice, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then

Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K, or until October 12, 2026, to regain compliance.

However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be

able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by Nasdaq. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the

Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The

Company is working diligently to complete and file the Annual Report and regain compliance with the Rule. However,

if the Company’s common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing

the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire

the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting

the Company’s ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing the Company

from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing the Company’s ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.

Disclosure

Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This

Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of

1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s beliefs and expectations

relating to the Company’s filing of the Annual Report, Nasdaq’s listing rules, and whether the Company’s common stock

will remain listed on Nasdaq. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s

management with respect to future events, only speak as of the date that they are made and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Such statements can be identified by the use of words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,”

“estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,”

“would,” “could,” “continue,” “can,” “may,” “look forward,” “aim,”

“hopes,” and similar terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. Actual results

could differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Important

factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited

to, a material delay in the Company’s ability to execute its plans, the possibility that the Company is unable to regain compliance

with, or thereafter continue to comply with, Nasdaq’s listing rules, or violates additional listing rules, the possibility that

Nasdaq may delist the Company’s securities, and other factors contained in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere

in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and other

periodic filings. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the impact

of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements, or other changes over time, except as required

by law.
