RUSH ENTERPRISES, INC. ANNOUNCES DUAL LISTING

ON NASDAQ TEXAS EXCHANGE

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas, June 30, 2026 — Rush Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: RUSHA & RUSHB), which operates the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in North America, today announced the dual listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Texas, LLC (“Nasdaq Texas”) exchange. The Company will maintain its primary listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and the dual listing will not affect investors’ ability to buy or sell the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Nasdaq Texas is a newly established dual listing exchange created to broaden capital access for companies with strong ties to Texas. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the ticker symbols “RUSHA” and “RUSHB,” and the dual listing will not involve the issuance of new shares or change the Company’s governance structure or reporting obligations. The Company expects the listing and trading of its common stock on Nasdaq Texas to commence on July 1, 2026.

“While Rush Enterprises’ mission is to deliver best-in-class commercial vehicle solutions that enable our customers to keep the economy up and running across all of North America, our dealership roots are in Texas and our headquarters has always been here,” said W.M. “Rusty” Rush, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Rush Enterprises, Inc. “We have 55 locations in Texas, employ approximately 2400 individuals in Texas and serve countless customers across the Lone Star State. We have grown along with our home state and are proud to be a part of the opportunity and growth that Nasdaq Texas represents,” added Rush.
