BEIJING, July 28,
2023 /PRNewswire/ — Tarena International, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TEDU) ("Tarena" or the "Company"), a leading provider of
IT professional education and IT-focused supplementary STEAM
education services in China, today
announced that it received a written notification from the Staff of
the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") dated July 28, 2023,
indicating that the Company no longer meets the continued listing
requirement of minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares
("MVPHS") for the Nasdaq Global Select Market, as set forth in the
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), because the Company's MVPHS for
the last 30 consecutive business days was below the minimum MVPHS
requirement of US$15,000,000.
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the applicable grace
period to regain compliance is 180 calendar days, or
until January 24, 2024. The Company can cure this deficiency
if its MVPHS closes at US$15,000,000
or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the
compliance period. The Company's management is looking into
various options available to regain compliance and maintain its
continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. In the event
the Company does not regain compliance prior to the expiration of
the compliance period, it will receive written notification that
its securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company
may apply to transfer the Company's securities to The Nasdaq
Capital Market, subject to the Nasdaq Capital Market's continued
listing requirements.
