Explanatory Note:

 

As previously reported, on April 27, 2023, Recon Technology Ltd. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Initial Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for 30 consecutive business days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 24, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. On October 25, 2023, the Staff granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 22, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

 

Additionally, as previously disclosed, on April 23, 2024 the Company received a subsequent written notice from the Staff indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, and a hearing was scheduled.

 

Since the Company effected an eighteen-for-one reverse stock split on May 1, 2024, the Company received a letter dated May 22, 2024 (the “Compliance Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Hearings Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that (i) the Company’s bid price deficiency had been cured and (ii) the Company was in compliance with all applicable listing standards. Accordingly, the Compliance Letter provided that the Company’s scheduled hearing had been determined to be moot and had been cancelled, and the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Recon includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws throughout this press release. A reader can identify forward-looking statements because they are not limited to historical fact or they use words such as “scheduled,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “goal,” “objective,” “committed,” “intend,” “continue,” or “will likely result,” and similar expressions that concern Recon’s strategy, plans, intentions or beliefs about future occurrences or results. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may change at any time and may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Recon expected. Many of these statements are derived from Recon’s operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions that Recon believes are reasonable, or are based on various assumptions about certain plans, activities or events which we expect will or may occur in the future. However, it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and Recon cannot anticipate all factors that could affect actual results that may be important to an investor. All forward-looking information should be evaluated in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those factors disclosed under “Risk Factors” in Recon’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and any subsequent half-year financial filings on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements that Recon makes from time to time in its SEC filings and public communications. Recon cannot assure the reader that it will realize the results or developments Recon anticipates, or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect Recon or its operations in the way Recon expects. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Recon undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which they were made, except as otherwise required by law. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included herein or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, Recon.
