Insights

Abpro faces Nasdaq delisting risk after missing the $1.00 bid minimum.

Abpro Holdings discloses it did not meet Nasdaq’s $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement by the September 29, 2025 deadline. Nasdaq’s September 30, 2025 letter states the common stock is subject to delisting absent a timely appeal.

The company intends to request a hearing by October 7, 2025, which will keep its securities trading on Nasdaq while an appeal panel reviews the case. During the hearing, Abpro plans to present steps to regain compliance with the bid price and all other continued listing standards.

Abpro explicitly notes there is no assurance the panel will grant continued listing or that compliance will be demonstrated within any extension period. Future disclosures in company filings may provide updates on the panel’s decision and any remedial actions undertaken.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously reported, on April 2, 2025, Abpro Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The letter stated that the Company had 180 calendar days, or until September 29, 2025, to regain compliance.

 

On September 30, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the compliance period. Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal by October 7, 2025, the Company’s common stock will be scheduled for delisting at the opening of business on October 9, 2025.

 

Accordingly, the Company intends to timely request a hearing before the appeal panel (the “Panel”). The hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities with Nasdaq pending the Panel’s decision or any extension of time provided by the Panel to regain compliance. During the hearing, the Company will present its plans to regain compliance with the bid price and all other continued listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance prior to the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.

FAQ

What Nasdaq issue did Abpro Holdings (ABP) disclose in this 8-K?

Abpro disclosed that it failed to meet Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by September 29, 2025. Nasdaq’s September 30, 2025 letter states the company’s common stock is now subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

What is the minimum bid price rule affecting Abpro Holdings (ABP)?

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Abpro’s shares traded below this level for the allowed compliance period, triggering a deficiency notice and potential delisting of its common stock.

What deadlines did Nasdaq give Abpro Holdings (ABP) regarding delisting?

Abpro had until September 29, 2025 to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price. After failing to do so, Nasdaq’s September 30, 2025 letter says the stock will be scheduled for delisting on October 9, 2025 unless Abpro requests an appeal by October 7, 2025.

How does Abpro Holdings (ABP) plan to respond to Nasdaq’s delisting notice?

Abpro intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq appeal panel. That hearing request will stay the suspension of its securities while the panel considers the company’s plans to regain compliance with the bid price and all other continued listing requirements.

Will Abpro Holdings (ABP) remain listed on Nasdaq during the appeal process?

If Abpro submits a timely hearing request by October 7, 2025, trading of its securities on Nasdaq will continue while the appeal panel reviews its case. The stay lasts through the panel’s decision or any extension period the panel may grant for regaining compliance.

Does Abpro Holdings (ABP) guarantee it will keep its Nasdaq listing?

No. Abpro expressly warns there can be no assurance the appeal panel will grant its request for continued listing. It also cannot guarantee it will demonstrate full compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules within any extension period that might be provided by the panel.
