EXPLANATORY NOTE
On October 10, 2023, ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) as of October 10, 2023, the Company’s securities were subject to delisting unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company plans to timely request a hearing before the Panel, which request will stay any further action by Nasdaq at least pending the issuance of the Panel’s decision and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing.
As previously disclosed, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided two consecutive 180 calendar day periods, through April 11, 2023, and October 9, 2023, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company did not regain compliance with the Rule by October 9, 2023, which resulted in the issuance of the Staff’s determination.
The Company is considering all options available to it and will provide the market and its shareholders with material update(s) if and when available.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
