Filing Summary
Registrant: Q&K International Group Limited (NASDAQ: QK), although the request metadata identifies Xchange TEC.INC.
Filing: Form 6-K for October 2021, filed October 1, 2021. The filing reports a Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency notice dated September 28, 2021.
Business Context and Reporting Period
The filing concerns Q&K, a China-based rental apartment operator with principal executive offices in Shanghai. It is a report by a foreign private issuer that files annual reports on Form 20-F.
Financial Metrics and Liquidity

Management identifies access to financing, cooperation with financial institutions, and the ability to continue as a going concern or achieve and maintain profitability as material risks.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
Compared with the information provided in this filing, the material development is the Nasdaq listing deficiency. The Company’s ADS closing bid price remained below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, causing noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- The Company received a 180-calendar-day compliance period ending March 28, 2022.
- Compliance may be regained if the ADS closing bid price reaches at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- If compliance is not regained by March 28, 2022, the Company may be eligible for additional time, subject to Nasdaq staff determination.
- The Company stated that it will take reasonable measures to regain compliance; no specific actions or financial guidance were disclosed.
- Other stated risks include COVID-19 and other catastrophic events, growth management, acquisitions and new initiatives, operating quality, tenant and landlord retention, disputes, reputation, competition, limited operating history, and financing availability.
Investor Verification Priorities
- Verify whether Q&K regained Nasdaq’s US$1.00 minimum bid price requirement by March 28, 2022 or received an extension.
- Review subsequent SEC filings for any reverse stock split, delisting notice, or other capital-market action.
- Assess the Company’s liquidity, financing access, going-concern disclosures, and profitability using its financial statements, which are not included in this Form 6-K.
- Confirm the correct issuer identity because the supplied metadata names Xchange TEC.INC while the filing identifies Q&K International Group Limited.
