Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Code Chain New Continent (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 6, 2022,  the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) regarding the Company’s failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. A failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) exists when listed securities fail to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days (including, in particular, the period March 23, 2022 through May 4, 2022), the Company failed to meet the aforesaid requirement. The Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, until November 1, 2022, to regain compliance.

 

On November 2, 2022, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq (the “November Notice”) stating that, although the Company had not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by November 1, 2022, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period.

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed with the Commission on October 18, 2022, as amended on October 21, 2022, at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on October 18, 2022, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-30 as determined by our Board of Directors in their sole discretion, prior to the one-year anniversary of the special meeting.

 

The November Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), 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 listing criteria.
