BEIJING, Nov. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Missfresh Limited ("Missfresh" or the "Company") today announced that the equity financings and the business acquisition under the share purchase agreements, as previously announced on August 3, 2023, and the transactions under the share transfer agreement, as previously announced on August 7, 2023, have been terminated. On November 15, 2023, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") notified the Company that the Panel has determined to delist the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and suspend trading in those securities effective at the open of trading on Friday, November 17, 2023 (the "Decision"). Nasdaq will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC, after applicable appeal periods have lapsed.
The Company expects its American Depositary Shares to be eligible trade on the OTC Markets effective with the open of trading on Friday, November 17, 2023. This delisting and transition to the OTC Markets will not change the Company's obligation to file annual reports and certain other reports with the SEC under the applicable federal securities laws. The Company cautions the reader to read this press release in its entirety and refer to the Company's press releases and reports filed with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties discussed therein, before making any investment decision.
