Rhea-AI Filing Summary

UTime Limited (WTO) reported it believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement after completing a $25 million private placement of ordinary shares on August 12, 2025. The company estimates approximately $6.69 million in stockholders’ equity on a pro forma basis and says recent cost cuts from discontinuing unprofitable activities support maintaining compliance over the next 12 months.

Nasdaq previously notified UTime on or about August 15, 2025 that it was below the $2,500,000 equity threshold based on its Form 20-F filed August 11, 2025. Nasdaq will continue to monitor compliance and the company may face delisting if its next periodic report does not evidence compliance.

UTime also announced the immediate discontinuation and divestiture of three subsidiaries: Changsha Utime Business Management Co., Ltd., WTO New York Inc., and UT (HK) International Technology Co. Limited. The divestiture process has begun as UTime refocuses on core businesses.

Insights

Regained equity compliance via financing; monitoring continues.

UTime says the $25 million private placement on August 12 boosted pro forma stockholders’ equity to about $6.69 million, above Nasdaq’s $2.5 million minimum under Rule 5550(b)(1). The company also reduced expenses and exited certain activities, which it believes supports ongoing compliance.

Nasdaq’s notice on or about August 15 highlighted non-compliance based on the Form 20-F filed August 11. Nasdaq will monitor status and the company may be subject to delisting if its next periodic report does not evidence compliance.

The company is discontinuing and divesting three subsidiaries effective immediately, with the divestiture process initiated. Actual impact depends on future reported equity levels in the next periodic report.

Nasdaq Notification & Company Compliance with the Nasdaq Stockholders’ Equity Requirement

 

On or about August 15, 2025, UTime Limited (the “Company”) received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), based on the stockholders’ equity reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 2025. However, because the Company completed a $25 million private placement (the “Private Placement”) of the Company’s ordinary shares on August 12, 2025, the Company believes it is currently in compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1), as the Company believes it has stockholders’ equity of approximately $6.69 million, on a pro forma basis, after completing the Private Placement. As the Company has greatly reduced its expenditures by discontinuing certain unprofitable business lines and activities, the Company believes it will be able to maintain compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for the next 12 months and on a going forward basis. As a result, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 6-K, the Company believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing based on its completion of the Private Placement.

 

Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of the Company’s next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, it may be subject to delisting.
