I-Mab Announces Receipt Of Nasdaq Deficiency Notice Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement
ROCKVILLE, Md., March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I-Mab (NASDAQ:IMAB) ("I-Mab" or the "Company"), announced today that on March 19, 2025 it received a written notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the "Listing Rules"). Based on the closing bid price of the Company's listed securities for the period from February 3, 2025 to March 18, 2025, the Company has not met the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) during that period. The Notice is only a notification of deficiency and has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADS"). The Company's ADSs will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market at this time. The Company's receipt of the Notice does not impact the Company's business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Notice states that under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) the Company is provided with a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 15, 2025, to regain compliance with the Listing Rules. To regain compliance with the Listing Rules, the closing bid price of the Company's ADSs must meet or exceed $1.00 per ADS for at least ten consecutive business days, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by September 15, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance or may face delisting.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs between now and September 15, 2025. 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 with the Minimum Bid Requirement, 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 requirements. 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 fully intends to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Listing Rules.
