Annual General Meeting Result Announcement
On December 13, 2023, Visionary Education Technology Holdings Group Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (“Press Release”) announcing the results of its 2023 Annual General Meeting, which was held on December 11, 2023, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. At the 2023 Annual General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders:
(1) | Fixed the number of directors at 5 (five) and duly elected each of the nominees to the board of directors, except Mr. Peter Milliken, who did not stand for re-election at the 2023 Annual Shareholders Meeting due to his resignation. As a result, the Board of the Company is now comprised of four (4) directors, including three (3) independent directors; | |
(2) | Approved the share consolidation proposal of combining every fifteen (15) pre-consolidation Common Shares into one (1) post-consolidation Common Share, which aims to increase the market price of individual shares and reduce the total number of outstanding shares; | |
(3) | Approved the name change of the Company from “Visionary Education Technology Holdings Group Inc. ” to “Visionary Holdings Inc.”; and | |
(4) | Approved and ratified the appointment of MNP LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024. |
NASDAQ Extension Letter
In the Press Release, the Company also announced the receipt of a Nasdaq Extension Letter. On December 12, 2023, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. (“NASDAQ”) granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2024, to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).
As previously reported, on June 14, 2023, the Company received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from NASDAQ, notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price for the last 31 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement set forth under the Minimum Bid Price Rule. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was provided with a 180-day compliance period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, through December 11, 2023. The Company was unable to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by December 11, 2023. NASDAQ’s determination to grant the second compliance period was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common shares must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the second 180-day compliance period. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including effecting a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements necessary for the Company to maintain the listing of its common shares on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Company’s common shares at this time and the Company’s common shares will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “GV”.
A copy of the Press Release regarding the above matters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
