Insights

Securities Regulatory Specialist

ILAG received a 180-day Nasdaq extension to meet the $1 minimum bid requirement, with potential delisting risk if unsuccessful by January 2026.

Intelligent Living Application Group has been granted a critical second 180-day compliance period until January 19, 2026 to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement of $1.00. This extension comes after the company failed to maintain the required share price during its initial compliance window.

The extension was granted because ILAG meets all other Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements except the bid price threshold. Importantly, the company has indicated willingness to implement a reverse stock split if necessary to regain compliance – a significant potential dilution event for current shareholders.

To regain compliance, ILAG's shares must close at $1.00 or higher for at least 10 consecutive business days before the January deadline. While trading continues normally under symbol ILAG for now, failure to meet this requirement could trigger delisting proceedings, though the company would have the right to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

This development signals serious underlying concerns about market valuation. Extended periods below the minimum threshold typically indicate fundamental investor concerns about a company's financial health or business prospects. The potential reverse split would artificially boost share price without addressing these underlying issues.

HONG KONG, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Intelligent Living Application Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ILAG) ("Intelligent Living" or the "Company"), a premium lockset manufacturer in Hong Kong, announced today that, on July 23, 2025, the Company received a written notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") indicating that the Company has been granted an additional 180 calendar day period or until January 19, 2026, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement").

NASDAQ's determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice to NASDAQ of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Company's security is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by January 19, 2026, Staff will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to a Hearings Panel (the "Panel") of NASDAQ.

This notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ILAG". The Company will monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and will consider various options to regain compliance before January 19, 2026.
