Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CL Workshop Group Limited has received a Nasdaq notice that its American Depositary Shares (ADSs), each representing eight Class A ordinary shares, closed below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days and no longer meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.

The ADSs remain listed and continue trading under the symbol “NWGL.” The company has 180 calendar days, until November 2, 2026, to regain compliance by having a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per ADS for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If it still fails to comply, CL Workshop may seek an additional 180-day grace period and is evaluating options such as a reverse share split or changing the ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency: CL Workshop’s ADSs traded below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, triggering non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and creating a risk of eventual delisting if the company cannot regain compliance within the allowed cure periods.

Insights

Nasdaq bid-price deficiency introduces listing risk, with time to cure.

CL Workshop Group Limited has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq’s US$1.00 minimum bid price rule after 30 consecutive trading days below that threshold. While the ADSs continue trading under “NWGL,” this formally starts a defined cure period and underscores share price pressure.

The company has 180 days, until November 2, 2026, to achieve at least ten consecutive business days with a closing bid of US$1.00 or higher. Failing that, an additional 180-day extension is possible if other listing standards are met, but there is no assurance this will occur.

Management is evaluating options, including a potential reverse share split or changing the ADS-to-share ratio, which could mechanically lift the bid price if implemented at least ten business days before the end of the applicable compliance period.

American Depositary Shares financial
"the closing bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares, each representing eight Class A ordinary shares"
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

reverse share split financial
"including by effecting a reverse share split and/or changing the ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs"
A reverse share split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding by combining multiple shares into one, effectively increasing the price of each share. For investors, this can help improve the company's image or meet stock exchange listing requirements, but it does not change the total value of their investment. It’s similar to turning many small pieces of a puzzle into fewer larger pieces—nothing new is added or lost, just rearranged.

INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

On May 6, 2026, CL Workshop Group Limited (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listings Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the minimum closing bid price per American Depositary Share of the Company, each representing eight Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“ADSs”), was below US$1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s ADSs, and the ADSs will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “NWGL.” 

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until November 2, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the compliance period, the closing bid price per ADS of the Company’s ADSs is at least US$1.00 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by November 2, 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, including by effecting a reverse share split and/or changing the ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs, if necessary. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse share split and/or change the ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs, it must complete such action no later than ten (10) business days prior to November 2, 2026, or the expiration of the second compliance period if granted.

 

On May 8, 2026, the Company issued a press release entitled “CL Workshop Group Limited Receives Nasdaq Notice of Bid Price Deficiency.” A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

CL Workshop Group Limited Receives Nasdaq Notice of Bid Price Deficiency

 

HONG KONG, May 8, 2026 (PRNewswire) — CL Workshop Group Limited (Nasdaq: NWGL) (the “Company”), a global forestry company that focuses on the timber and wood products industry, today announced that it received a notification letter dated May 6, 2026 from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department indicating that the closing bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares, each representing eight Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“ADSs”), was below the minimum requirement of US$1.00 per ADS for 30 consecutive business days from March 24, 2026 through May 5, 2026, and the Company is therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

The notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s ADSs, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker “NWGL.”

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 2, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. If, at any time during the 180-day period, the closing bid price per ADS of the Company’s ADSs is US$1.00 or above for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

 

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by November 2, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period to regain compliance. 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, including by effecting a reverse share split and/or changing the ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs, if necessary. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse share split and/or change the ratio of Class A ordinary shares to ADSs, it must complete such action no later than 10 business days prior to November 2, 2026, or the expiration of the second compliance period if granted.

 

This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification. The Company is currently evaluating various options available to regain compliance. The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s ADSs, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker “NWGL.”
