Insights

Nasdaq bid-price deficiency introduces listing-risk over the next compliance periods.

Highway Holdings has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid rule after 30 straight business days below that level. The shares remain on The Nasdaq Capital Market, but the notice flags a formal deficiency status under Rule 5550(a)(2).

The company has an initial 180-day window, until September 14, 2026, to restore its bid to at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. If it meets other listing criteria, it may obtain a second 180-day period, often tied to actions such as a reverse stock split.

If compliance is not regained and any appeal fails, Nasdaq may delist the ordinary shares, which could shift trading to a less liquid venue. The company states it will monitor its bid price and may evaluate available options under the rules to address the deficiency.

NEWS RELEASE

 

Highway Holdings Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

 

HONG KONG – March 26, 2026 – Highway Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: HIHO, the “Company” or “Highway Holdings”) today announced that on March 17, 2026, Highway Holdings Limited (the “Company”) received a written notification (the “Notification Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares (the “Shares”), has been below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

 

The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HIHO”.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 14, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the “Compliance Period”). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Shares must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. If such compliance is demonstrated, Nasdaq will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by September 14, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. 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, to Nasdaq. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s ordinary shares, at which point the Company will have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Highway Holdings received a Nasdaq notice that its common shares failed to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days. This triggers a formal deficiency under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) but does not immediately affect trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

How long does Highway Holdings (HIHO) have to regain Nasdaq bid price compliance?

Highway Holdings has until September 14, 2026 to restore its closing bid to at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. If it meets other listing standards, it may qualify for an additional 180-day compliance period under Nasdaq’s rules.

What happens if Highway Holdings (HIHO) cannot regain Nasdaq compliance?

If the company cannot regain compliance during the initial or any second 180-day period, Nasdaq may move to delist its ordinary shares. Highway Holdings would then have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel under Nasdaq procedures.

Is Highway Holdings’ (HIHO) stock still trading on Nasdaq after the notice?

Yes. The Nasdaq notice has no immediate impact on trading, and Highway Holdings’ common shares continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The stock remains listed under the symbol HIHO while the company works within the prescribed compliance periods.

What steps might Highway Holdings (HIHO) take to address the bid price deficiency?

The company plans to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and may consider available options under Nasdaq rules. These could include actions such as a reverse stock split, if appropriate, to help restore compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid requirement.

What is Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement affecting Highway Holdings?

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Highway Holdings fell below this level for 30 consecutive business days, prompting the deficiency notice and starting the compliance timeline.
