On July 3, 2025, VS MEDIA reported regaining compliance with Nasdaq continued listing standards after earlier deficiencies, supported by public offerings generating $9.17 million in gross proceeds. That update saw a 2.94% positive price reaction.

Analysis

This announcement highlights that VS MEDIA’s shares have stayed below Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a deficiency notice but also granting a 180-day window to regain compliance. The stock trades far beneath its 200-day MA and 52-week high, underscoring existing weakness. Investors may watch for any concrete remediation steps, including potential reverse stock split actions, and updates on Nasdaq’s review of the company’s compliance status.

4 terms

Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) regulatory

"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"

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.

reverse stock split financial

"by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary"

A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.

Nasdaq Capital Market regulatory

"initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement"

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.

market value of publicly held shares financial

"required to meet the continued listing 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.

Hong Kong, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VS MEDIA Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: VSME) (“VS MEDIA” or “the Company”), a company managing a global network of digital Creators who create and publish content to social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, today announced it has received a letter of noncompliance from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), dated December 15, 2025, notifying the Company that based on VS MEDIA’s closing bid price 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.

However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide VS MEDIA with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance, VS MEDIA may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to 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 will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the VS MEDIA meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.

The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, and the shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “VSME”.

VS MEDIA is currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intends to timely regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirement. Although VS MEDIA will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirement.
