Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 27, 2024, BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) indicating that the Company has been granted a temporary exception to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).
The Company has until May 1, 2025, to regain compliance. As part of this compliance plan, the Company intends to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary, no later than April 7, 2025, and has outlined steps to meet this timeline. Failure to regain compliance by May 1, 2025, will result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Additionally, Nasdaq has updated its rules regarding reverse stock splits. Effective January 30, 2025, the Company must notify Nasdaq of specific details, including the date of shareholder approval, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the anticipated market effective date of the reverse stock split.
The Company is taking the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the Bid Price Rule within the granted timeframe and will provide updates as appropriate.
