GCL Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Deficiency Notice Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement
SINGAPORE, March 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GCL Global Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:GCL) ("GCL" or the "Company"), a leading provider of games and entertainment, today announced that it has received a written notice (the "Notice"), dated March 17, 2026, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days (February 2, 2026 to March 16, 2026), the bid price for the Company's ordinary shares had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule").
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 14, 2026, to regain compliance (the "Compliance Period"). Pursuant to the Notice, if at any time during the Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and such matter will be closed. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule during the Compliance Period, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities from The Nasdaq Global Select Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that the Company meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares required for continued listing and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the bid price requirement). Such transfer would provide the Company with an additional 180 calendar days, or until March 15, 2027, to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company would be eligible for the additional 180 calendar day compliance period, if applicable, or that the Nasdaq staff would grant the Company's request for continued listing.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's ordinary shares. The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its ordinary shares and consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
