Nasdaq grants Scienjoy (NASDAQ: SJ) 180-day extension on $1 bid rule

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Scienjoy Holding Corporation reported that Nasdaq has approved its request for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum closing bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share. The company now has until July 6, 2026 for its Class A ordinary shares to close at or above US$1.00 for at least 10, and generally not more than 20, consecutive business days to be deemed back in compliance.

If Scienjoy does not meet this bid-price standard by the end of the new compliance period, its shares may be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, although the company could then request a review of any delisting determination by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Scienjoy faces an explicit risk of Nasdaq delisting if it fails to lift its closing bid price to at least US$1.00 for the required trading days by July 6, 2026.

Insights

Equity market structure analyst

Nasdaq gave Scienjoy more time, but delisting risk remains if its share price stays below US$1.00.

Scienjoy Holding Corporation received a 180-day extension from Nasdaq, moving its deadline to regain compliance with the US$1.00 minimum closing bid price rule to July 6, 2026. To satisfy the rule, the stock must close at or above US$1.00 per share for at least 10, and generally not more than 20, consecutive business days during this period.

This development keeps the company listed on Nasdaq for now but underscores ongoing pressure on its share price. The filing explicitly notes that failure to regain compliance by July 6, 2026 could lead to a delisting determination, after which Scienjoy may seek a review by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The key milestone is whether Scienjoy’s Class A ordinary shares achieve the required US$1.00 closing bid level for the specified run of trading days before the new deadline. Any future disclosures about listing status or bid-price performance in subsequent company communications will further clarify the situation.

Exhibit 99.1

Scienjoy Holding Corporation Granted Additional 180-Day Extension by Nasdaq to
Regain Compliance with Minimum Bid Price Rule

BEIJING, January 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Scienjoy Holding Corporation (“Scienjoy”, the “Company”, or “we”) (NASDAQ: SJ), an interactive entertainment leader in the Chinese market, today announced that on January 7, 2026, it received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that Nasdaq approved the Company’s request for an additional 180-calendar day extension (the “Extension”) to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”).

The Extension follows the expiration on January 6, 2026 of the initial 180-calendar day period to regain bid price compliance. As a result of the Extension, the Company now has until July 6, 2026 to regain compliance with the Rule (the “New Compliance Period”). If during the New Compliance Period, the bid price for Scienjoy’s Class A ordinary shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10, though generally not more than 20, consecutive business days, it is expected that Nasdaq would formally notify the Company that it has regained compliance with the Rule.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by July 6, 2026, it may be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. At that time, the Company may request a review of the delisting determination by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
