TNL Mediagene Announces Receipt of Deficiency Letter from Nasdaq
TOKYO, JAPAN, MAY 12, 2026 — TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG) (the “Company”), a technology and digital media company providing AI-driven advertising, marketing technology, content commerce and data analytics solutions, and operating multi-language digital media brands across Asia, today announced that it received a notification letter dated May 6, 2026 (the “Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (the “Nasdaq”) notifying that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing due to its failure to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity. In the Company’s Form 20-F for the period ended December 31, 2025 filed on April 30, 2026, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $918,088, which is below the $2.5 million minimum required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Nasdaq also determined that the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations for continued listing.
The Deficiency Letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Deficiency Letter, or until June 22, 2026, to submit a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. If the Compliance Plan is accepted by Nasdaq, the Company may be granted a compliance period of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Deficiency Letter to evidence compliance.
The Company’s management is considering various options available to regain compliance and maintain its continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to submit the Compliance Plan as soon as practicable. This announcement is made in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a notification of deficiency.
