HONG KONG, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- mF International Limited (the "Company" or "mF International") (Nasdaq: MFI), a Hong Kong-based experienced financial trading solutions provider, today announced that it has received an extension of 180 calendar days (the "Extension Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq (the "Bid Price Requirement"), following the expiration of the initial 180 calendar days period to regain compliance on January 28, 2025.

As previously announced, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq dated August 1, 2024, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares for the previous 30 consecutive business days was below $1.00 per share, the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, and Nasdaq granted the Company a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

As of the date hereof, the Company has not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Pursuant to the Extension Notice, the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until July 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the Company's Class A ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event that compliance cannot be demonstrated by July 28, 2025, the staff of Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Class A ordinary shares between now and July 28, 2025, and is considering its options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Company believes that the Extension Notice does not affect the Company's business operations, its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, or its contractual obligations.
