Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 12, 2022, Senmiao Technology Limited, a Nevada corporation received a deficiency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(2) requiring listed securities to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of $35,000,000 (the “MVLS Requirement”). The Company also does not presently meet the requirements under Listing Rules 5550(b)(1) and 5550(b)(3). Accordingly, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rules.
The Company has 180 calendars days, expiring July 11, 2022, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. If the Company maintains a MVLS at or greater than $35,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, it will regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance within 180 calendar days, it will receive a written notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting.
The Company intends to monitor its MVLS and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, or maintain compliance if the Company regains compliance.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is filed to satisfy the obligation under Rule 5810(b) and Item 3.01(a) of Form 8-K that the Company publicly disclose the deficiency within four (4) business days after the date of the deficiency letter.
