Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported by TD Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commision, on September 1, 2021, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The Company was provided an initial grace period to regain compliance, which ended on February 28, 2022.
On March 1, 2022, the Company received notice from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until August 29, 2022, to regain compliance (the “Second 180 Day Compliance Period”). The Staff indicated that its determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares, and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second 180 Day Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If at any time during the Second 180 Day Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance.
The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including but not limited to, implementing a reverse stock split of its outstanding securities, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Second 180 Day Compliance Period.
