3 terms

american depositary shares financial

"no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's American Depositary Shares"

American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

nasdaq listing rule 5450(a)(1) regulatory

"minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1)"

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) is a continued-listing standard that sets a minimum share price companies must maintain to remain listed on the Nasdaq market—commonly a $1.00 per-share threshold. Investors care because falling below that floor can trigger a compliance review and possible delisting, which is like failing a minimum grade and losing access to the public market; delisting can reduce liquidity, visibility and the ability to raise capital.

market value of publicly held shares financial

"does not currently satisfy the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS") requirement"

The market value of publicly held shares is the total dollar worth of a company’s shares that are available to outside investors, calculated by multiplying the current market price by the number of shares held by the public (the “float”). It matters because it tells investors how much of the company is actually tradable and how the market is pricing that tradable portion—like a price tag on the items on a store shelf, it affects liquidity, volatility and how easy it is to buy or sell a meaningful stake.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Xiao-I Corporation (NASDAQ: AIXI) (the "Company") today announced that it has received two written notifications from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with certain continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Global Market.

Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

On December 16, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company does not currently satisfy the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share.

The notice was based on the Company's American Depositary Shares having a closing bid price below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days from November 3, 2025 through December 15, 2025. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a 180-calendar-day compliance period, expiring on June 16, 2026, to regain compliance. If at any time during this period the closing bid price of the Company's securities is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance.

Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Deficiency

On December 17, 2025, the Company received a second notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company does not currently satisfy the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS") requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C), which requires MVPHS of at least $15.0 million.

Nasdaq determined that, based on the Company's MVPHS for 30 consecutive business days from November 4, 2025 through December 16, 2025, the Company no longer met this requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided a 180-calendar-day compliance period, expiring on June 15, 2026, to regain compliance. If during this period the Company's MVPHS closes at $15.0 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will confirm that the Company has regained compliance.

Status and Next Steps

The Nasdaq notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's American Depositary Shares on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company intends to assess its current compliance status and develop and evaluate potential plans to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements within the prescribed compliance periods. While there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with either listing requirement or that Nasdaq will grant any additional compliance periods, the Company believes it has a range of potential options available and remains committed to working diligently toward regaining compliance.
