JIN MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL LTD. - Notice of Regained Compliance with the Minimum Public Holders Requirement
Changzhou City, China, March 1, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JIN MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL LTD. (the "Company" or “JinMed”) (NASDAQ: ZJYL), a Cayman Islands holding company with Chinese operating entities that manufacture and develop wheelchairs and living aids products, today announced that it has received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) of regained compliance with the minimum public holders requirement.
On February 29, 2024, the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notified Jin Medical International Ltd. (the “Company”) that it has regained compliance with the minimum public holder requirement as set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3).
On September 25, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3), which requires the Company to have at least 300 public holders for continued listing by Nasdaq. On December 18, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it had failed to provide a detailed plan to support a decision for further time for compliance. Additionally, Nasdaq staff (the “Staff”) determined that the Company did not meet the 300 Round Lot Holder requirement for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Subsequently on December 20, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the delisting action has been stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel. The hearing before the Panel (the “Hearing”) has been scheduled on March 14, 2024. After reviewing the Company’s prehearing submission, Nasdaq subsequently informed the Company on February 29, 2024 that it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3).
The Company, however, still has an outstanding deficiency for its failure to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the period ended September 30, 2023 and, consequently, does not meet the filing requirement in Listing Rule 5250(c). Therefore, the Hearing will be held as scheduled regarding such deficiency.
The Company is presently conducting an internal review with its management and external advisors, exploring various remedial actions to regain compliance with the periodic filing requirements stated above.
