On October 13,
2022, ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”)
received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing
Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC
(“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the closing bid
price of the Company’s ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary
Shares”), for the last 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no
longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for
continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a
minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price
Requirement”), 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 trading days.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Ordinary
Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing
Rules, the Company has been provided an initial compliance period
of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid
Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of
the Ordinary Shares must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum
of 10 consecutive trading days prior to April 11, 2023, and
the Company must otherwise satisfy The Nasdaq Capital Market’s
requirements for listing.
If
the Company does not regain compliance by April 11, 2023, the
Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day
compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required, among
other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market
value of publicly held shares, which the Company does not currently
meet, as well as all other standards for initial listing on the
Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price
Requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its
intention to cure the bid price deficiency during
the second compliance period. If the Company does not regain
compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any
extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide
notice that the Company’s Ordinary Shares will be subject to
delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal Nasdaq’s
determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and request
a hearing.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the
Ordinary Shares and consider its available options to resolve the
noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance
with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements or
that Nasdaq will grant the Company a further extension of time to
regain compliance, if applicable.
On October 19, 2022, the Company issued a press
release entitled “ZK International Receives Nasdaq Notice
Regarding Minimum Bid Requirements”. A copy of the press
release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
