Qudian Inc. Regains Compliance with NYSE Minimum Price Requirement

XIAMEN, China, Feb. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Qudian Inc. ("Qudian" or the "Company") (NYSE: QD), a consumer-oriented technology company in China, today announced that the Company has regained compliance with the New York Stock Exchange's ("NYSE") continued listing standard for share prices as confirmed by a notification letter from the NYSE on February 1, 2023.

On September 22, 2022, the NYSE notified the Company of its non-compliance with the exchange's continued listing standards because the average closing price of its American depositary shares ("ADSs") had fallen below $1.00 over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. 

On February 1, 2023, the NYSE confirmed to Qudian that a calculation of the average closing price of the Company's ADSs over the 30-trading day period ended January 31, 2023 indicated that such price exceeded the NYSE's minimum requirement of $1.00. Accordingly, the Company is no longer considered below the $1.00 continued listing criterion.
