KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alps Group Inc (the "Company" or "Alps Group"), the parent company of Alps Life Sciences Inc. ("Alps Holdco"), a fully integrated biotechnology research and healthcare platform specializing in predictive, preventive, and precision medicine, today announced that on May 15, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that based on the closing bid price of the ordinary shares of the Company for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is currently not in compliance with the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's ordinary shares on Nasdaq, and it does not affect the Company's current business operations or financial condition. Nasdaq has provided the Company with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 11, 2026, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirement. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance in the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, should the Company meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and is able to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's securities will be subject to delisting.
The Company is currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intends to timely regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirement. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirement.
