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

August 14, 2026, Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company

is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) under the timely filing criteria

included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) because the Company failed to file by the

extended due date of August 13, 2026, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”).

accordance with Section 1007 of the Company Guide, the Company will have six months from the date of the filing delinquency, or until

February 13, 2027 (the “Initial Cure Period”), to file the Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

If the Company fails to file the Form 10-K during the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, provide an additional

six-month cure period depending on the Company’s specific circumstances (the “Additional Cure Period”). Notwithstanding

the foregoing, however, the Exchange may in its sole discretion decide (i) not to afford the Company any Initial Cure Period or Additional

Cure Period, as the case may be, at all or (ii) at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, to truncate the

Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, and immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the

Company is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the Company Guide, including if the Exchange believes, in the Exchange’s

sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of the Company’s securities on the Exchange is inadvisable or unwarranted in

accordance with Sections 1001 through 1006 thereof.

During

the Initial Cure Period and the Additional Cure Period, if applicable, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on the Exchange,

subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements, with a late filer (“.LF”) indicator.

The Company can regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards at any time during the Initial Cure Period or

Additional Cure Period, as applicable, by filing the Form 10-K and any subsequent delayed filings with the SEC.

August 19, 2026, the Company filed the Form 10-K. As a result, the compliance failure under the Company Guide has been cured and the

Company’s common stock will not trade with a late filer indicator.

Exhibit 99.1

Ocean

Power Technologies, Inc. Receives Notice from NYSE American Regarding Late Filing of Annual Report on Form 10-K

MONROE

TOWNSHIP, N.J., Aug. 20, 2026 . Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“OPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE American:

OPTT), a leader in maritime operational infrastructure and autonomous ocean systems, announced that on August 14, 2026, it received

a notice from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American

(the “Exchange”) under the timely filing criteria set forth in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company

Guide”). The non-compliance results from the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

ended April 30, 2026 (the “Delinquent Report”) by the filing due date of August 13, 2026 (the “Filing Delinquency”).

August 19, 2026, the Company filed with the SEC its Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2026 and cured the Filing Delinquency.

accordance with Section 1007 of the Company Guide, the Company had six months from the date of the Filing Delinquency, or until February

13, 2027 (the “Initial Cure Period”), to file the Form 10-K with the SEC. If the Company had failed to file the Form 10-K

during the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange could have, in its sole discretion, provided an additional six-month cure period (the “Additional

Cure Period”). The Company has regained compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards during the Initial Cure

Period by filing the Form 10-K with the SEC.
