Everbright Digital Holding Limited Receives Nasdaq Notice of Minimum Bid Price Non-Compliance Finance

Everbright Digital Holding Limited Receives Nasdaq Notice of Minimum Bid Price Non-Compliance

HONG KONG, Aug. 29, 2025 -- Everbright Digital Holding Limited (the “Company” or “Everbright”) (Nasdaq: EDHL), an integrated marketing solutions provider based in Hong Kong, announced that on August 25, 2025, it received a written notification (the "Notification Letter") from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). This letter informed the Company of its non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which mandates that companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for continued listing. The Notification Letter stated that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price per share for the Company's common stock fell below the $1.00 requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This press release is issued in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of any deficiency notification received. At present, the Notification Letter does not have any immediate impact on the Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a period of 180 calendar days, extending until February 23, 2026, to regain compliance. Should the closing bid price per share of the Company's common stock reach at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any point during this Compliance Period, Nasdaq will issue a written confirmation of compliance to the Company, thereby closing the matter. If the Company fails to regain compliance by February 23, 2026, it may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar-day period to do so. To qualify for this extension, the Company must satisfy the continued listing requirement for the 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. Furthermore, it will need to provide written notice of its intention to remedy the deficiency during the second compliance period, potentially through a reverse stock split if deemed necessary. Should the Company opt for a reverse stock split, it must be completed no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the second compliance period. The Company's business operations remain unaffected by the receipt of the Notification Letter. Everbright is actively monitoring the bid price of its ordinary shares and is exploring various options to regain compliance and maintain its continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company aims to meet and sustain the minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days as soon as practically possible.

Dimora PHMB Cleanser Introduces Professional Wound Care Solutions for Home Use Finance

Dimora PHMB Cleanser Introduces Professional Wound Care Solutions for Home Use

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2025 -- Chronic wounds continue to pose significant challenges in modern healthcare. Dimora Medical, a company focused on simplifying chronic disease care for older populations, today introduces the Dimora PHMB Cleanser to address this gap in chronic wound management. Research indicates that over 78% of chronic wounds are complicated by biofilms, which are protective bacterial layers that impede healing and heighten infection risk. The Dimora PHMB Cleanser is specifically formulated to break down resilient biofilms and eliminate 99.99% of bacteria within minutes. This easy-to-use solution, supported by robust clinical evidence, empowers caregivers to more effectively protect their loved ones while alleviating the demands of home wound care. Deconstructing Biofilms for Enhanced Healing A key innovation of the Dimora PHMB Cleanser is its capacity to tackle biofilms, a hidden obstacle making chronic wounds particularly difficult to treat. Biofilms are viscous layers formed by bacteria on the wound surface. They shield microbes from the body's natural defenses and various treatments, frequently delaying healing and elevating infection potential. The cleanser’s primary active ingredient, Polyhexamethylene Biguanide (PHMB), has demonstrated quick and effective breakdown of these biofilms. In studies, PHMB removed 99.49% of biofilm within three minutes, reaching 99.99% efficacy after seven minutes. Once the biofilm barrier is disrupted, antimicrobial dressings and the body's inherent healing processes can function optimally. Compared to hypochlorous or saline-based solutions, PHMB has consistently shown superior activity against biofilms of common wound pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For caregivers providing care at home, this translates to fewer complications, reduced infection risk, and a more dependable path to wound recovery. It represents an advanced solution that brings clinical-grade effectiveness directly into daily care routines. Swift Antimicrobial Action for Safer At-Home Care Beyond its biofilm-clearing capabilities, the Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser functions as a potent antimicrobial agent, delivering rapid and powerful action. For infected wounds, it eradicates 99.99% of bacteria in just two minutes. For non-infected wounds, the same level of protection is achieved in as little as one minute. Such speed is crucial in home care settings, where the risk of infection is high and any delay can impede recovery. Practically speaking, this means caregivers can cleanse and protect a wound quickly without requiring multiple steps or extended waiting periods. Families managing conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, post-surgical incisions, or even everyday cuts in older adults understand the impact of speed. Each application diminishes the chance of infection, lessens caregiver stress, and enhances patient comfort at home. By minimizing complications, the cleanser also helps families avoid repeated clinic visits and instills greater confidence in their daily wound management efforts. Enduring Protection Families Can Rely On Consistency is vital in wound care, especially for families managing chronic conditions day after day. The Dimora PHMB Cleanser is not merely effective upon initial use—it sustains its antimicrobial potency over time. In testing under USP , an internationally recognized benchmark for antimicrobial effectiveness, the cleanser surpassed expectations. Even after being opened for 28 days, it continued to provide a 99.99% reduction in bacteria, ensuring safety and stability with every application. For home caregivers, this reliability extends beyond a mere technical detail. It means fewer concerns about whether a bottle has lost its efficacy or needs premature replacement. In contrast, hypochlorous-based solutions are less stable and less effective against wound pathogens over time. PHMB offers families peace of mind and consistent performance. With the Dimora PHMB Cleanser, caregivers can dedicate less energy to monitoring expiration dates and more time to what truly matters—supporting their loved one’s healing journey. Simplifying Home Care, Making it Dependable and Secure Dimora's objective is clear: to simplify home care and establish itself as the trusted wound care expert for families. The PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser embodies this mission by integrating clinical strength into daily use. Serving as a wound wash, antiseptic skin cleanser, and reliable antibacterial wash, it supports chronic wound care at home. From diabetic foot ulcers to surgical sites, its proven ability to remove biofilms offers patients a better path to healing and provides caregivers with genuine peace of mind. For families, this translates to fewer complications, reduced stress, and safer home care with each use. The Dimora PHMB Skin and Wound Cleanser is now available for $15.99 on About Dimora Dimora develops advanced solutions for the management of chronic diseases and wounds. With 34 years of experience in medical supplies, Dimora is committed to making home care easy, safe, and less demanding for families.
