Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 17, 2024, Roma Green Finance Limited (“ROMA” and the “Company”) received a deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 31 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) had been below the minimum of $1.00 per Ordinary Share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Ordinary Shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ROMA” without interruption at this time.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 180 calendar days, or until November 13, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If at any time before November 13, 2024, the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 per Ordinary Share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by November 13, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 day calendar period to regain compliance or be subject to delisting. To qualify for the additional time, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirements regarding the market value of publicly held Ordinary Shares and all other initial listing standards, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company will be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, during the additional compliance period.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for its Ordinary Shares and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

HONG KONG, May 21, 2024 – Roma Green Finance Limited (NASDAQ: ROMA) disclosed that it had received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that ROMA is not currently in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice indicated that the Company has 180 days, or until November 13, 2024 (the “Compliance Deadline”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by having the closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares meet or exceed $1.00 per Ordinary Share for at least ten consecutive business days.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ROMA”. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Ordinary Shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including a reverse stock split (i.e., a share consolidation).

| Re: | Roma Green Finance Limited (the “Company”) Nasdaq Security: Ordinary Shares Nasdaq Symbol: ROMA |
Dear Ms. Luk:
As we discussed, our Listing Rules (the “Rules”) require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Based upon the closing bid price for the last 31 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement.1 However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance.
If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, we will provide you written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. Please note that if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date in the table below in order to regain compliance.2
In the event the Company does not regain compliance, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, we will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, we will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.3
1 For online access to all Nasdaq Rules, please see “Nasdaq Online Resources,” included with this letter.
2 For additional information with respect to compliance periods please see the “Nasdaq Online Resources” on the attached page and access the link “Frequently Asked Questions” related to “continued listing.”
3 At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
