The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on Nasdaq.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification, or until December 15, 2021, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, during which time the Company's ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before December 15, 2021, the bid price of the Company's ordinary shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by December 15, 2021, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may be delisted from Nasdaq.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares between now and December 15, 2021.
