BEIJING, July 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Missfresh Limited (NASDAQ: MF) ("Missfresh" or the "Company") today announced that it has received written notification from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") dated July 3, 2023, indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") of the Company was below the minimum amount of US$5,000,000 set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C).
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company is provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until January 2, 2024, to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If at any time during the 180-day compliance period, the MVPHS of the Company closes at US$5,000,000 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
The Nasdaq notification letter will have no effect on the Company's business operations, and the Company will take all reasonable measures to regain compliance.
In addition, as previously announced, the Company has requested a hearing as the Company no longer is in compliance with the minimum $10,000,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing or the alternative criteria and will be presenting its plan to remedy the deficiencies at such time. However, there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Hearing Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the applicable listing criteria within any extension of time that may be granted by the Nasdaq Hearing Panel following the hearing.
