Insights

Equity markets and listing standards analyst

Zhongchao removes Nasdaq delisting risk by regaining minimum bid compliance.

Zhongchao Inc. had been under a Nasdaq deficiency notice because its Class A ordinary shares traded below $1.00 for an extended period in late 2025. Under Rule 5550(a)(2), maintaining a closing bid of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days cures this issue.

The company achieved 11 consecutive business days at or above that level from March 2–16, 2026, and Nasdaq confirmed the company is back in good standing, closing the matter. This removes an overhang related to potential delisting and keeps access to Nasdaq’s trading venue, which can be important for liquidity and investor confidence.

As previously disclosed, on November 28, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, as the closing bid price for the Company’s Class A ordinary shares had been below $1.00 per share for the period from October 9, 205 to November 26, 2025. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had 180 calendar days to regain compliance, or until May 28, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time prior to the expiration of Compliance Period.

According to the Compliance Letter, for the last 11 consecutive business days, from March 2, 2026 to March 16, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter is closed.
