american depositary shares financial
"trading price of the Company's American depositary shares (the "ADSs")"
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.
consolidated tape financial
"as reported on the consolidated tape is less than US$1.00"
A consolidated tape is a continuous electronic feed that combines real-time trade prices and sizes for a given security from all participating exchanges and trading venues into one unified stream. It matters to investors because it shows the best available prices and overall market activity at a glance—like a single live scoreboard combining results from many stadiums—helping assess fair value, compare execution quality, and make timely trading decisions.

delisting regulatory
"suspension and delisting procedures"
Delisting occurs when a company's stock is removed from a stock exchange and is no longer available for trading there. This can happen voluntarily or because the company no longer meets the exchange's requirements. For investors, delisting means they can no longer buy or sell shares of that company on the exchange, which may make it more difficult to sell their investments or affect the stock's value.

PARIS and NEW YORK and SINGAPORE, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB) ("AMTD IDEA" or the "Company"), today announced that it has received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), notifying the Company that it is below compliance standards due to the trading price of the Company's American depositary shares (the "ADSs").

Pursuant to Section 802.01C of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual, a company will be considered to be below compliance standards if the average closing price of its security as reported on the consolidated tape is less than US$1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Company has six months (the "Cure Period") following receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company can regain compliance at any time during the Cure Period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the Cure Period the Company has a closing share price of at least US$1.00 per ADS and an average closing share price of at least US$1.00 per ADS over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. In the event that at the expiration of the six-month Cure Period, both a US$1.00 per ADS closing share price on the last trading day of the Cure Period and a US$1.00 per ADS average closing share price over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the Cure Period are not attained, the NYSE will commence suspension and delisting procedures.

The Company intends to monitor the market conditions of its listed securities and will consider various measures to cure the non-compliance caused by adverse effects on its trading price and avoid any potential delisting. The Company remains confident in its long-term strategy, business fundamentals and growth prospects and plans to continue the execution of its share repurchase programs as previously announced.

As of August 7, 2026, the Company has repurchased 4,417,036 ADSs under the existing repurchase programs.

FAQ

Why did AMTD IDEA (NYSE: AMTD) receive a NYSE non-compliance letter on August 7, 2026?

AMTD IDEA received the NYSE letter because its ADSs averaged below US$1.00 over 30 consecutive trading days. According to AMTD IDEA, this triggered Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, placing the company below the exchange’s minimum share price compliance standard.

What does the six-month NYSE cure period mean for AMTD IDEA (AMTD) shareholders?

The six-month cure period gives AMTD IDEA time to restore an ADS price of at least US$1.00. According to AMTD IDEA, compliance can be regained any month-end if both the closing price and 30‑day average meet the US$1.00 threshold, reducing immediate delisting risk.

What happens if AMTD IDEA (AMTD) cannot regain US$1.00 ADS price compliance with NYSE rules?

If AMTD IDEA fails to meet the US$1.00 closing and 30‑day average ADS price by the cure deadline, the NYSE will start suspension and delisting procedures. According to AMTD IDEA, this consequence applies at the expiration of the six‑month cure period if both price conditions remain unmet.

How is AMTD IDEA responding to the NYSE minimum price non-compliance for AMTD shares?

AMTD IDEA plans to monitor market conditions and consider measures to address its trading price. According to AMTD IDEA, the company aims to cure the non-compliance, avoid potential delisting, and continue executing previously announced share repurchase programs to support its capital management strategy.

How many AMTD IDEA ADSs have been repurchased under its share buyback programs?

As of August 7, 2026, AMTD IDEA has repurchased 4,417,036 ADSs under existing share repurchase programs. According to AMTD IDEA, these buybacks are part of ongoing capital actions, and the company plans to continue executing its previously announced repurchase initiatives.

What price conditions must AMTD IDEA (AMTD) meet to regain NYSE compliance?

To regain compliance, AMTD IDEA needs an ADS closing price of at least US$1.00 on the last trading day of a calendar month. According to AMTD IDEA, it also requires a minimum US$1.00 average closing ADS price over the prior 30 trading days.
