CENN in focus as Cenntro files certificate of amendment expanding authorized shares to 3 billion
An authorized capital expansion at Cenntro Inc. puts CENN in focus after the Nasdaq-listed company filed an 8-K on July 28, 2026, disclosing a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The amendment, effective July 20, 2026, and filed with Nevada's Secretary of State on July 22, raises common stock authorization from 16,666,667 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares, and preferred stock from 1,666,667 shares to 100,000,000 shares. The next confirmable event for the tape: any prospectus supplement filed under the company's Form S-3 registration statement, File No. 333-292994.

The authorization numbers
Both share classes carry a par value of $0.0001 per share, unchanged from the prior structure. Common stock moves from roughly 16.7 million authorized shares to 3 billion. Preferred climbs from approximately 1.7 million to 100 million authorized shares. Cenntro's filing states that no other changes were made to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, leaving the par value and governing document otherwise intact.
How the decision moved from consent to certificate
The authorization trail starts on June 12, 2026, when holders of a majority of the voting power of Cenntro's outstanding capital stock approved the Board of Directors to pursue the capital stock increase. That approval came by written consent in lieu of a meeting, with the consenting parties described in the filing as the Controlling Stockholders. From that date, the Nevada certificate was filed July 22, more than five weeks later. Chief Executive Officer Peter Z. Wang signed the 8-K, dated July 28, 2026.
The shelf and what to watch
The 8-K is explicitly incorporated by reference into Cenntro's existing Form S-3 registration statement, File No. 333-292994. A shelf registration is the mechanism that allows a company to register securities in advance and draw on them in future offerings. No pricing, offering size, use of proceeds, or timing appears in the current 8-K. Cenntro Inc., a Nevada corporation, is headquartered at 33 Wood Avenue South, Suite 600, Iselin, New Jersey 08830. Its common shares trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol CENN, Commission File Number 001-38544.
