Starbox Group Holdings Ltd. Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Dec. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Starbox Group Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:STBX) ("Starbox" or the "Company"), a service provider of cash rebates, digital advertising, and payment solutions with a goal of becoming a comprehensive artificial intelligence ("AI") solutions provider within Southeast Asia, today announced that the Company received a notification letter (the "Notification Letter") from the Listings Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on November 27, 2023, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure upon the receipt of a deficiency notification.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days from October 13, 2023 to November 24, 2023, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

The Notification Letter does not impact the Company's listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company's ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the 180 calendar day period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

The Company's operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid prices of its ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
