Key Terms

4 terms
form 20-f regulatory
"delay in filing Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025"
Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.
nasdaq listing rule 5250(c)(1) regulatory
"independent basis for delisting under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)"
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange to promptly notify the exchange if their stock price falls below a certain minimum level, known as the "initial listing standards." This rule helps ensure that investors are aware of significant declines in a company's stock value, which could signal financial trouble or increased risk. Essentially, it helps maintain transparency and protect investors by keeping them informed about important changes in a company's stock performance.
nasdaq hearings panel regulatory
"request for oral hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”)"
A Nasdaq hearings panel is a group of experts that reviews cases when a company's stock listing is at risk of being removed from the exchange. They evaluate whether the company has met certain standards and determine if it can keep trading on Nasdaq. This process matters to investors because it can affect a company's ability to raise money and maintain credibility in the market.
trading halt regulatory
"The current trading halt under Rule 4120(a)(5) with regards to the Company’s securities"
A trading halt is a temporary pause on buying and selling a particular stock imposed by an exchange or regulator, like pressing the pause button on a game so everyone can catch up. It is used to give the market time to absorb important new information or to prevent chaotic price swings, and matters to investors because it freezes the ability to trade, delays price discovery, and can change risk and strategy until normal trading resumes.

Hong Kong, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QMMM Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: QMMM) (the “Company” or “QMMM”), a digital media advertising, virtual avatar & virtual apparel technology service provider in Hong Kong, today announced that on June 17, 2026, the Company received a Staff Delisting Determination (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its discretionary authority contained in Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-4. In addition, Nasdaq asserts that the Company’s delay in filing Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 serves as an independent basis for delisting under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The Company intends to appeal the Staff Determination by filing a request for oral hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815. Per Rule 5815(a)(1)(B), a request for a hearing regarding a delinquent filing will only stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for a period of 15 days from the deadline to request a hearing unless the Company specifically requests, and the Hearings Panel grants, a further stay. The current trading halt under Rule 4120(a)(5) with regards to the Company’s securities will remain in place during any automatic stay or further stay granted by the Panel.

Per Listing Rule 5815(a)(5), the Company will submit to the Hearings Panel a written plan of compliance, and request that the Panel grant an exception to the listing standards for a limited time period, as permitted by Rule 5815(c)(1)(A). There can be no assurance, however, that the Panel will approve the Company’s plan to regain compliance and/or grant the requested exception, nor can there be any assurance that such plan will be successful if brought into effect.
