Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As reported by WeTrade Group Inc. (the “Company”) in its Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 30, 2023, the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 expired on April 17, 2023.
On April 20, 2023, the “Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) regarding the Company’s failure to comply with Nasdaq Continued Listing Rule (“Rule”) 5250(c)(1), because the Company did not timely file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the SEC. The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.
Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from receipt of the Notice (April 20, 2023) or until June 20, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, then Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K (April 17, 2023), or until October 16, 2023, to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company's plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by Nasdaq. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria. A copy of press release covering the Nasdaq non-compliance notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
