As previously announced, the Company was notified by Nasdaq on December 16, 2019 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price of the Company's American Depositary Shares (the "ADSs") had been below US$1.00 for more than 30 consecutive business days. In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the Company changed the ratio of the ADSs representing its ordinary shares from one (1) ADS representing one (1) ordinary share to one (1) ADS representing three (3) ordinary shares. The change of the ADS ratio became effective on August 24, 2020.
On August 31, 2020, the Company received a staff determination letter, which notified the Company that it had not regained compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by August 27, 2020, the end of the compliance period provided by Nasdaq. However, the closing bid price of the Company's ADSs has been above US$1.00 since August 24, 2020.
On September 4, 2020, Nasdaq provided confirmation to the Company that for the last 10 consecutive business days from August 24, 2020 to September 4, 2020, the closing bid price of the Company's ADSs has been at or above US$1.00.
