Sentage Holdings (SNTG) outlines Nasdaq home country rule exemption

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sentage Holdings Inc. filed a report explaining a change in its corporate governance approach under Nasdaq rules. The board has chosen to use a home country rule exemption available to foreign private issuers, instead of following Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies to hold an annual shareholder meeting no later than one year after the end of each fiscal year. Sentage, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, will instead follow its home country practices on this specific requirement. The company states that, apart from this exemption and any items disclosed in other U.S. filings, its corporate governance practices do not significantly differ from those followed by U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
