Singapore, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SIMPPLE Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPPL) (“SIMPPLE” or “the Company”), a leading technology provider and innovator in the facilities management (FM) sector, today announced that it has received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company has regained compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and annual shareholder meeting requirement, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rules.

As previously reported in the Company’s Form 6-K dated January 21, 2025, the Company did not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000 as required for continued listing on Nasdaq set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

The Company has since filed a Form 6-K dated July 7, 2025, stating that the Company had executed a series of securities purchase agreements with investors to raise aggregate gross proceeds of $2.0 million resulting from the sale of 1,333,334 shares through a private investment in public equity (PIPE). As a result of the closing of the private placement on June 30, 2025, the Company’s shareholders’ equity exceeded $2.5 million. SIMPPLE intends to use the net proceeds from the PIPE to advance development of its technologies, extensive pipeline, and global expansion.

On July 22, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company complies with the Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), subject to the Company’s disclosure in a Form 6-K no later than July 25, 2025, providing a description of the completed transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing. Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report, the Company does not evidence compliance, it may be subject to delisting. At that time, Staff will provide written notification to the Company, which may then appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.

“We are pleased to have successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and consider this latest notification a key milestone that underscores our broader business objectives” said Norman Schroeder, SIMIPPLE’s chief executive. “We believe it’s an important outcome that goes to SIMPPLE’s credibility, and best interest of our valued investors, partners, and stakeholders, as we continue to invest in our technology advancements and global growth objectives.”

The Company will continue to monitor its ongoing compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing standards and will provide further updates as and when required.
