Nasdaq Notifies Highest Performances Holdings of Minimum Bid Price Requirement “`
GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 22, 2024 — Highest Performances Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: HPH) announced it received a Nasdaq notification on November 21, 2024. The notification stated that its American depositary shares (ADSs) had closed below the US$1.00 minimum bid price for 35 consecutive business days, as per Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). This notification doesn’t immediately affect HPH’s listing or trading on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) grants HPH a 180-calendar-day compliance period, until May 20, 2025, to regain compliance. If the ADS closing bid price reaches or exceeds US$1.00 per share for ten consecutive business days within this period, Nasdaq will confirm compliance, and the matter will be concluded.
Failing to achieve compliance by May 20, 2025, HPH might qualify for an additional 180-day period, pending Nasdaq’s assessment, provided it meets market value and other initial listing requirements (excluding the minimum bid price). This would require HPH to submit a written plan to rectify the deficiency during the second period, potentially involving a reverse stock split.
The Nasdaq notification won’t impact HPH’s operations; the company will pursue all reasonable steps to regain compliance.
