SHANGHAI, Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The9 Limited (Nasdaq: NCTY) ("The9" or the "Company"), an established Internet company, today announced that it has obtained approval from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") to transfer its listing venue from Nasdaq Global Market to Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's ADSs will continue to trade under the symbol of "NCTY" on Nasdaq Capital Market.
On October 3, 2018, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, pursuant to which Nasdaq informed the Company that due to the Company's failure to regain compliance with the continued listing requirement of US$50 million minimum Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") for the Nasdaq Global Market as set in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), the Company's ADSs will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market unless measures are taken prior to a certain timeline. The Company decided to transfer its listing venue to Nasdaq Capital Market with which the Company fully complies with the continued listing standards. After Nasdaq's approval of such transfer, the Company has regained compliance of the minimum MVLS for the Nasdaq Capital Market.
