XChange TEC (NASDAQ: XHG) has successfully regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, avoiding potential delisting. The company received two letters from Nasdaq on August 12 and 14, 2024, confirming its adherence to the $1 per share minimum bid price rule. This follows a previous non-compliance notice issued on April 3, 2024, which granted XHG a 180-day compliance period. The company's American Depositary Shares (ADSs) maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 or higher for 28 consecutive business days from July 5 to August 13, 2024, surpassing the required 10-day minimum. As a result, XHG will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.
XChange TEC announced it has received approval from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to transfer its listing from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The company now has until August 31, 2024, to comply with the new listing requirements, including maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1 per share for ten consecutive trading sessions by August 14, 2024.
This follows earlier notifications from Nasdaq that XChange TEC failed to meet the total assets and revenue requirements, as well as the $1 minimum bid price, leading to a request for appeal and subsequent approval for transfer.
The company had submitted a compliance plan which was initially denied, prompting the appeal to the Hearings Panel.
There remains uncertainty on whether the company will meet the new conditions for continued listing.
