Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Zhengye Biotechnology Holding Limited reported that Nasdaq has notified the company it is not in compliance with the exchange’s minimum bid price rule. The closing bid for its Class A ordinary shares stayed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days through May 28, 2026.

The shares remain listed and continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ZYBT. Zhengye has 180 calendar days, until November 25, 2026, for its shares to close at or above $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days to regain compliance.

If the company cannot meet this requirement by that date, it may receive an additional 180-day grace period if it satisfies other listing standards and formally outlines a plan to cure the deficiency, potentially including a reverse share split. The company states its business operations are not affected by the notice.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency and delisting risk: The company’s Class A ordinary shares failed to meet Nasdaq’s US$1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a deficiency notice. If it cannot regain compliance within the allowed periods, the shares may be delisted from Nasdaq.

Insights

Nasdaq bid-price deficiency raises listing risk but allows cure period.

Zhengye Biotechnology Holding Limited has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule after its Class A ordinary shares closed below $1.00 for 30 straight business days. The stock remains on the Nasdaq Capital Market, so there is no immediate delisting.

Nasdaq has granted a 180-day window, until November 25, 2026, for the company to achieve a closing bid of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. If it fails, it could still obtain a second 180-day period if it meets other listing standards and presents a remediation plan.

The company mentions a potential reverse share split as one option to restore compliance, though no specific action is committed in this disclosure. Actual impact on shareholders will depend on future share-price performance and whether the company uses tools like a reverse split within the allowed timeframe.

Deficiency measurement period 30 consecutive business days Below US$1.00 from April 16, 2026 to May 28, 2026

Minimum Bid Price Rule regulatory
"the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”)"
A minimum bid price rule is a stock market requirement that a listed company's share must trade above a set minimum price over a specified period to remain listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings, potential delisting, and reduced liquidity—similar to a student needing a passing grade to stay enrolled—making the shares harder to buy, sell, or value accurately.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regulatory
"notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2)"
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) regulatory
"In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days"
reverse share split financial
"including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares"
A reverse share split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding by combining multiple shares into one, effectively increasing the price of each share. For investors, this can help improve the company's image or meet stock exchange listing requirements, but it does not change the total value of their investment. It’s similar to turning many small pieces of a puzzle into fewer larger pieces—nothing new is added or lost, just rearranged.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This announcement contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements which are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Does the Nasdaq notice immediately delist Zhengye Biotechnology (ZYBT) shares?

No, the notice does not immediately delist Zhengye Biotechnology’s shares. The stock continues trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under symbol ZYBT while the company works within defined compliance periods to restore the bid price to at least US$1.00.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by November 25, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten (10) business days prior to November 25, 2026, or the expiration of the second compliance period if granted.

Zhengye Biotechnology Holding Limited Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

 

Jilin, China, June 4, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zhengye Biotechnology Holding Limited (Nasdaq: ZYBT) (the “Company” or “Zhengye”), a veterinary vaccine manufacturer that encompasses research, development, manufacturing, and sales of veterinary vaccines, with a focus on livestock vaccines in China, announced that the Company had received a written notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on May 29, 2026, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days from April 16, 2026 to May 28, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

 

The Notification Letter does not impact the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until November 25, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by November 25, 2026, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

 

The Company’s business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company is monitoring the closing bid price of its Class A ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
