Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On January 3, 2024, AGBA Group Holding Limited (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule”) because the Company has not maintained a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of at least $35 million. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.

 

The Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 1, 2024, to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 day period the MVLS is at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS requirement within the compliance period, the Company’s ordinary shares will be subject to delisting. In the event the Company receives notice that the Company’s ordinary shares are being delisted, Nasdaq’s rules permit the Company to appeal the delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a hearings panel.

 

The Company intends to monitor the market value of the Company’s listed securities and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement.
