Mingzhu Logistics (NASDAQ: YGMZ) outlines Nasdaq delisting and OTC trading plan
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Mingzhu Logistics Holdings Limited reports that Nasdaq will delist its securities from the Nasdaq Capital Market and suspend trading at the open on December 12, 2025, after the shares failed to meet Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) during a prior 30‑day period.
The company previously appealed a delisting determination and presented a plan that included a potential reverse share split, but a Hearings Panel denied continued listing. Mingzhu plans to request further review by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, which will stay the filing of a Form 25 but not the trading suspension. The company expects its securities to be quoted on the over‑the‑counter market and warns that shareholders may face a very limited market, difficulty selling shares, and potentially adverse effects on the trading price.

Insights
Nasdaq delisting and trading suspension increase liquidity and perception risks for shareholders.
Mingzhu Logistics has been notified that its securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and trading will be suspended at the open on December 12, 2025. The action follows a prior determination that the company violated Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1 per share over 30 consecutive business days. Because the company was under a one‑year Discretionary Panel Monitor, it did not receive the usual 180‑day cure period.
The company requested a hearing on October 29, 2025 and presented a compliance plan, including a potential reverse share split, at a hearing on December 9, 2025, but the Hearings Panel denied continued listing on December 12, 2025. Mingzhu will seek further review by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, which will stay the filing of a Form 25 but not the suspension of trading.
Management states that, following delisting, there may be a very limited market in which the shares trade. The company expects its securities to be quoted in the over‑the‑counter market under the same symbols and cautions that shareholders may find it difficult to sell their shares and that the trading price, if any, may be adversely affected.
