Advanced Biomed (ADVB) appeals Nasdaq delisting after bid price shortfall

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Advanced Biomed Inc. reported that it has failed to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share by the January 14, 2026 compliance deadline. Nasdaq staff has notified the company that its common stock is scheduled for delisting and trading suspension on January 27, 2026 unless the decision is reversed.

The company appealed the delisting notice on January 21, 2026, which temporarily stayed any suspension and the filing of a Form 25-NSE while a Nasdaq Hearings Panel reviews the case. Advanced Biomed plans to present a remediation plan, including a reverse stock split that stockholders approved on January 12, 2026 and that is expected to become effective on or after February 13, 2026. The company cautions that there is no assurance the Panel will allow continued listing or that it will regain compliance within any time period that may be granted.

Nasdaq delisting risk rises despite appeal and planned reverse split.

Advanced Biomed Inc. has not restored its share price to Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid level by the end of its January 14, 2026 compliance window. Nasdaq staff has therefore moved to delist the stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market, with suspension scheduled for the market open on January 27, 2026, subject to review.

The company filed an appeal on January 21, 2026, which automatically stayed the suspension and Form 25-NSE while a Hearings Panel considers its case. Management plans to rely in part on a reverse stock split approved by shareholders on January 12, 2026, expected to take effect on or after February 13, 2026, to help restore the bid price.

Outcome now depends on the Panel’s decision and whether the company can demonstrate and sustain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within any grace period the Panel may allow. The company explicitly warns there is no assurance of continued listing, underscoring the elevated risk around its Nasdaq status.

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

As previously disclosed, on July 18, 2025, Advanced Biomed Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until January 14, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

The Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by January 14, 2026. Accordingly, by letter dated January 16, 2026, the Staff notified the Company that its securities would be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and suspended at the opening of business on January 27, 2026, unless the Company requested an appeal of this determination by January 23, 2026 before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

On January 21, 2026, the Company appealed the Staff’s delisting determination by submitting a hearing request to the Panel, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. The Company expects to present to the Panel a plan intended to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including a reverse stock split approved by the Company’s stockholders on January 12, 2026, which is expected to become effective on or after February 13, 2026. However, 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 within any period of time that may be granted by the Panel.
