High-Trend (HTCO) restores Nasdaq $1 bid price compliance ahead of deadline

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

High-Trend International Group reported that it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s minimum bid price requirement. Nasdaq confirmed that from August 8, 2025 to August 21, 2025, the closing bid price of the company’s ordinary shares was at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days, satisfying Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq notified the company on August 22, 2025 that the matter is now closed and its listing is again in good standing with respect to this rule. The company had originally received a deficiency notice on June 27, 2025 and had until December 24, 2025 to cure the issue, but achieved compliance earlier and issued a press release on August 25, 2025 to inform the market.

High-Trend regains Nasdaq bid-price compliance, removing a prior listing deficiency.

High-Trend International Group had been under a Nasdaq deficiency notice because its ordinary share price stayed below $1.00 for more than 30 consecutive business days. Under Nasdaq rules, it was given until December 24, 2025 to regain compliance by lifting the closing bid back to at least $1.00 for 10 straight business days.

Nasdaq confirmed that from August 8–21, 2025 the closing bid met or exceeded the $1.00 threshold, so the company is again in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the matter is closed. This removes an overhang related to potential delisting for bid-price reasons, but does not itself change revenues, earnings, or capital structure.

The company also issued a press release on August 25, 2025, which helps ensure investors are aware that the bid-price issue has been resolved ahead of the original December 24, 2025 cure deadline.
