DUBLIN, Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq Global Select: TRIB), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on human diagnostics and diabetes management solutions, including wearable biosensors, today announced that it has received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") and the minimum market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) (the "MVPHS Requirement").
As previously reported, on March 14, 2025, the Company received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company's American Depositary Shares had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). On August 26, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that for ten consecutive business days, from August 12, 2025, to August 25, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company's American Depositary Shares was $1.00 per share or greater, and accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter is now closed. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement in the future.
Additionally, as previously reported, on March 14, 2025, the Company also received notice from Nasdaq that the Company no longer met the requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) that listed securities maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") of US $15,000,000, based on Nasdaq's review of the Company's MVPHS for the last 30 consecutive business days. On August 29, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that for more than 10 consecutive business days, the Company had maintained a MVPHS of $15 million or greater, and accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the MVPHS Requirement and the matter is now closed.
