Premium Catering (Holdings) Limited Receives Nasdaq Deficiency Notice Regarding the Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities Requirement and a Nasdaq Deficiency Notice Regarding Minimum Bid Price
December 16 2024 - 9:15AM
Premium Catering (Holdings) Limited (NASDAQ: PC) disclosed that it
had received a notice (the “MLVS Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is currently not in
compliance with the minimum market value of listing securities (the
“MVLS”) of $35,000,000 for continued listing of the Company’s
ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) on the Nasdaq Capital
Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MLVS
Requirement”). Nasdaq calculates the MVLS based upon the most
recent total shares outstanding multiplied by the closing bid
price. The MVLS Notice indicated that the Company has 180 days, or
until June 9, 2025 (the “Compliance Deadline”), to regain
compliance with the MLVS Requirement by having its MVLS close at
$35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
If at any time prior to June 9, 2025, the Company’s MVLS closes at
$35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days,
Nasdaq will provide a written confirmation of compliance and the
matter regarding the Company’s MLVS will be closed. Receipt of the
MVLS Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the
Company’s ordinary shares and has no immediate effect on the
listing or the trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the The
Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PC”.
On December 11, 2024, the Company received a
further notice from Nasdaq (the “Minimum Bid Price Notice”)
indicating that the Company’s ordinary shares failed to maintain a
minimum bid price of $1.00 over the last 30 consecutive business
days as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum
Bid Price Requirement”). Receipt of the Minimum Bid Price Notice
does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s
ordinary shares and has no immediate effect on the listing or the
trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the The Nasdaq Capital
Market under the symbol “PC”.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the
date of the Minimum Bid Price Notice, or until June 9, 2025, to
regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. If at any time
before June 9, 2025, the closing bid of the Company’s ordinary
shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days, the Company will be deemed to have regained compliance with
the Minimum Bid Requirement following which Nasdaq will provide a
written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the
Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company may be eligible for
additional time. To qualify for the additional time, the Company
will be required to meet the continued listing requirements for
market value of publicly held shares and all other 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 by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.
The MVLS Notice, however, contained a footnote
referencing that the Company currently does not meet the other
listing requirements under the Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) and
5550(b)(3), and is not in compliance with the listing standards
which are: (i) an equity standard that the Company maintain
stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million; and (ii) a net
income standard regarding the Company’s continuing operations of
$500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of
the three most recently completed fiscal years.
Neither the MVLS Notice nor the Minimum Bid
Price Notice will have any immediate effect on the listing of the
Company’s Ordinary Shares, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol “PC”. The Company intends to
monitor its MVLS and Minimum Bid Price and may, if appropriate,
consider implementing available options, including a reverse stock
split, to regain compliance with the MVLS and Minimum Bid Price
listing standards. If the Company does not regain compliance by the
Compliance Deadlines, the Company will receive further written
notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to
delisting. At that time, the Company may qualify for additional
time or appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.
