Material Changes and Listing Status
- Delisting Notice: The Company received a determination letter from Nasdaq dated May 20, 2022, to delist its securities due to a closing bid price below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days (violating the "$0.10 Rule").
- Minimum Bid Price Violation: The Company also failed to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The compliance period to regain this status expired on May 30, 2022.
- Upcoming Suspension: Unless an appeal is requested, trading of ordinary shares was scheduled to be suspended on June 1, 2022, with a Form 25-NSE to be filed to remove the securities from listing.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Contingencies
- Appeal Process: Management intends to request a hearing before a Hearings Panel. This request will stay the suspension of trading and the filing of the delisting form pending the Panel's decision.
- Share Consolidation: The Company expects a recently approved consolidation of its ordinary shares to take effect on May 31, 2022, which is likely intended to address the low stock price.
- Risk: If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or loses the appeal, the securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the requested hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
- Confirm the effective date and ratio of the ordinary share consolidation expected on May 31, 2022.
- Monitor the closing bid price post-consolidation to determine if the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price Rule is satisfied.
- Check for the filing of Form 25-NSE if the appeal is unsuccessful or if compliance is not met.
