Analysis
The stock moved -5.8% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite prior supportive actions fits a narrative where listing-compliance concerns overshadow earlier positives. The Nasdaq notice confirms the bid remained under $1 for 30 consecutive days, raising the risk of eventual delisting if compliance is not restored within the initial 180-day window or any extension. Earlier, a $8 million buyback announcement coincided with a 72.65% rise, highlighting how sentiment can reverse when regulatory thresholds are threatened.

minimum bid priceregulatory
"to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share."
The minimum bid price is the lowest share price that a market, regulator, or specific offering will accept for a trade, listing, or auction—think of it as a reserve or floor that a stock must meet to qualify for certain actions. It matters to investors because falling below that floor can limit trading options, trigger compliance measures or delisting risks, and affect liquidity and the perceived value of a holding, much like a reserve price in an auction sets the baseline for a sale.
nasdaq listing rules 5550(a)(2)regulatory
"the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2)"
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) is a Nasdaq Capital Market standard that sets a minimum share-price requirement companies must meet to list their common stock on that market. Think of it as a minimum entrance score for a club: if a stock trades below the required price, the company can face warnings or removal, which matters to investors because it affects liquidity, tradability and perceptions of company stability.
continued listing requirementregulatory
"no longer meets the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq"
Rules a stock exchange sets that a publicly traded company must follow to keep its shares listed, such as minimum share price, market value, shareholder equity, and timely financial reporting. These rules matter to investors because failing them can lead to removal from the exchange, which can make shares harder to buy or sell and often lowers their value — like a club with membership requirements where losing eligibility restricts access and signals trouble.
nasdaq capital marketregulatory
"initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception"
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.
reverse stock splitfinancial
"by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary."
A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.
market value of publicly held sharesfinancial
"requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards"
The market value of publicly held shares is the total dollar worth of a company’s shares that are available to outside investors, calculated by multiplying the current market price by the number of shares held by the public (the “float”). It matters because it tells investors how much of the company is actually tradable and how the market is pricing that tradable portion—like a price tag on the items on a store shelf, it affects liquidity, volatility and how easy it is to buy or sell a meaningful stake.
listing qualifications departmentregulatory
"a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC"
A listing qualifications department is the part of a stock exchange that checks whether a company meets the exchange’s rules for being listed and staying listed. Think of it as a gatekeeper or building inspector: it reviews financial statements, disclosure practices and corporate governance, flags problems and can require fixes or remove a company’s shares. Investors care because its decisions affect whether a stock remains tradable and how much trust to place in a company’s reporting.

(NASDAQ: UZX) (“Linkage Global” or the “Company”), a public company that engages in providing cross-border e-commerce integrated services, today announced that it has received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on June 3, 2026, notifying the Company that based on the closing bid price of the Class A ordinary shares of the Company for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2), to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share.
This notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “UZX.” In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided with an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 30, 2026, in which to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In the event the Company does not regain compliance, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, should the Company meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and is able to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

The Company is currently evaluating all available options to regain compliance and intends to take appropriate actions to do so within the prescribed timeframe.
