Warrantee Inc. Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
October 17 2023 - 6:30PM
Warrantee Inc. (Nasdaq: WRNT) (the “Company” or “Warrantee”), a
Japanese marketing and market research technology company, today
announced that the Company received a letter (the “Notification
Letter”) from the Listings Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 13, 2023, notifying the
Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price
requirement as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for
continued listing on Nasdaq. This press release is issued pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure
upon the receipt of a deficiency notification.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed
companies to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share and
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 business days. Based on the closing
bid price of the Company's American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for
the 30 consecutive business days from August 30, 2023 to October
12, 2023, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price
requirement.
The Notification Letter does not impact the
Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. In
accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has
been provided 180 calendar days, or until April 10, 2024, to regain
compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain
compliance, the Company's ADSs must have a closing bid price of at
least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the
event the Company does not regain compliance by April 10, 2024, the
Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or
may face delisting.
The Company's operations are not affected by the
receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company intends to monitor
the closing bid price of its ADSs and may, if appropriate, consider
implementing available options, including, but not limited to,
implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding ADSs, to
regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the
Nasdaq Listing Rules.
