Q&K Receives NASDAQ Notification Regarding Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Deficiency

SHANGHAI, China, May 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Q&K International Group Limited (NASDAQ:QK) ("Q&K" or the "Company"), a leading technology-driven long-term apartment rental platform in China, announced today that it has received a written notification (the "Notification Letter") from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") dated May 9, 2022 indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS") set forth in the Nasdaq Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C) requires companies to maintain a minimum MVPHS of US$15 million, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D) provides that a failure to meet the MVPHS requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the MVPHS of the Company for the 30 consecutive business days from March 25, 2022 to May 6, 2022, the Company no longer meets the MVPHS minimum requirement. This notification does not impact the listing and trading of the Company's securities at this time.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days (or until November 7, 2022) to regain compliance. If at any time during this compliance period the Company's MVPHS closes at US$15 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the MVPHS requirement, and the MVPHS matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5450(b)(3)(C) prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company's business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letter.
