Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, Senmiao Technology Limited (the “Company”) received a deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), failed to comply with the $1 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) based upon the closing bid price of the Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the notice from Nasdaq.
On December 13, 2023, the Company received another notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company is eligible for an additional 180-day period, or until June 10, 2024, to regain compliance. Such 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 compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”), Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by June 10, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted at which point the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rules.
