Insights

Financial Analyst

This Nasdaq compliance issue raises significant concerns about MDJM's market position. With a micro-cap status of just $9.4 million and sustained trading below $1, the company faces substantial risks. The 180-day compliance window, extendable to 360 days, typically leads to one of three outcomes: natural price recovery, a reverse stock split, or potential delisting. Given MDJM's small market cap, a reverse split appears most likely, which often leads to further price deterioration. Historical patterns show that micro-cap stocks receiving such notices frequently struggle to maintain long-term listing status, with many eventually facing delisting or implementing highly dilutive measures to maintain compliance.

LETHAM, Scotland, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MDJM LTD (Nasdaq: MDJH) (the "Company" or "MDJM"), an integrated global culture-driven asset management company, today announced that the Company received a  letter (the "Notification Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on October 23, 2024, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities 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 September 11, 2024 to October 22, 2024, 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, or until April 21, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). If at any time during such 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance.

If the Company does not regain compliance during such 180-day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, provided that the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq except for Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and provides Nasdaq with a written notice of its intention to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
