Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited Receives Deficiency Letter from NASDAQ Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
November 05 2024 - 4:30PM
Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (NASDAQ Capital Market: AEHL)
(“Antelope Enterprise”, “AEHL” or the “Company”), a provider of
electricity through natural gas power generation, and the majority
interest owner of KylinCloud, a livestreaming e-commerce business
in China, announced today that on November 1, 2024, it received a
deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the
“Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The deficiency
letter advised that for the last 30 consecutive business days the
bid price for the Company’s Class A ordinary shares had closed
below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued
inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The deficiency letter does
not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Class A
ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has been
provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until January
22, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid
Price Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid
price for the Company’s Class A ordinary shares closes at $1.00 or
more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required
under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written
notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price
Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10
day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). If the
Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule by April 30,
2025, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period
to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to
meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its
publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for
The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price
requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify
Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency,
which may include, if necessary, implementing a reverse stock
split.
If the Company does not regain compliance with
the Bid Price Rule by the Compliance Date and is not eligible for
an additional compliance period at that time, the Staff will
provide written notification to the Company that its Class A
ordinary shares may be delisted. The Company would then be entitled
to appeal the Staff’s determination to a NASDAQ Listing
Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. There can be
no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting
determination by the Staff to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Panel, that such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid
price of its Class A ordinary shares and may, if appropriate,
consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price
Rule, which could include effecting a reverse stock split. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain
compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
