Tokyo, Japan--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2026) - TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) (the "Company"), a technology and digital media company providing AI-driven advertising, marketing technology, content commerce and data analytics solutions, and operating multi-language digital media brands across Asia, today announced that on June 22, 2026, the Company received a staff determination letter (the "Determination Letter") from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that its securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Determination Letter states that the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, from May 7, 2026 through June 18, 2026, and the Company is therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Because the Company effected a reverse stock split during the prior one-year period, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) the Company is not eligible for any compliance period in connection with such non-compliance. The Company is also subject to a Discretionary Panel Monitor for a period of one year in accordance with Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), as established by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel's letter dated January 20, 2026 and previously disclosed by the Company.
The Determination Letter further states that the Company's previously notified non-compliance with the $2,500,000 minimum stockholders' equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), as set forth in Staff's notification dated May 6, 2026 and previously disclosed by the Company on Form 6-K filed on May 12, 2026, serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting.
The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") to appeal the Determination Letter. The hearing request will automatically stay the suspension of the Company's securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel's decision. At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to regain compliance with the applicable continued listing requirements. The Determination Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's ordinary shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which will continue to trade under the symbol "TNMG" pending the Panel's decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
