SU GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED RECEIVES NASDAQ STAFF DELISTING DETERMINATION AND INTENDS TO REQUEST HEARING
Rhea-AI Summary
SU Group Holdings (Nasdaq: SUGP) received a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff determination on August 3, 2026 to delist its Class A ordinary shares after the closing bid remained below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days from June 18 to July 31, 2026, breaching Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Because SU Group previously executed a 1‑for‑10 reverse split on August 25, 2025, it is not eligible for an additional automatic compliance period under Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv). The company plans to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which would stay any trading suspension and Form 25‑NSE filing, so shares continue trading on Nasdaq under “SUGP” during the process. The board and shareholders have approved a 1‑for‑5 share consolidation expected to be effective around August 6, 2026, intended to help restore the minimum bid price. SU Group cautions there is no assurance the consolidation, any bid‑price recovery, or a Panel decision will ultimately preserve its Nasdaq listing.

Timely hearing request will stay suspension of trading and Form 25 filing pending Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision; approved share consolidation expected on or about August 6, 2026 may enable the Company to regain compliance prior to the hearing
The Staff Determination was issued because the closing bid price of the Company's Class A ordinary shares was below
Because the Company effected a one-for-ten share consolidation, or reverse stock split, on August 25, 2025, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) provides that the Company is not eligible for the compliance period that would otherwise be available under Nasdaq's standard minimum bid price deficiency framework. Accordingly, Nasdaq issued the Staff Determination, subject to the Company's right to appeal the determination to the Panel.
The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). Consistent with the Staff Determination, a timely hearing request will stay the suspension of trading in the Company's Class A ordinary shares and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel's decision. Accordingly, the Staff Determination has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's Class A ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SUGP" during the hearing process. If the Company regains compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the hearing, it may not be necessary for the Company to proceed to the Panel hearing.
In connection with its hearing request, the Company intends to present its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. The Company's board of directors and shareholders have approved a further share consolidation at a ratio of 1-for-5, which is expected to become effective on August 6, 2026, to restore compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If, following the share consolidation, the closing bid price of the Company's Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds
There can be no assurance that the approved share consolidation will result in a sustained increase in the bid price of the Company's Class A ordinary shares to at or above
