This extension follows the initial 180-day compliance period that expired on January 28, 2025, after the company received a non-compliance notice on August 1, 2024.

The company now has until July 28, 2025, to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Failure to meet this requirement by the deadline could result in delisting from Nasdaq. The company states this notice does not affect its business operations, SEC reporting requirements, or contractual obligations.

La società ha tempo fino al 28 luglio 2025 per ripristinare la conformità mantenendo un prezzo di chiusura di almeno $1,00 per azione per un minimo di 10 giorni lavorativi consecutivi.

Juli 2025, um die Compliance wiederherzustellen, indem es einen Schlussgebotspreis von mindestens $1,00 pro Aktie für mindestens 10 aufeinanderfolgende Geschäftstage beibehält.

Positive
  • None.

  • Failed to regain compliance during initial 180-day period

Insights

The receipt of a second 180-day extension from Nasdaq represents a critical juncture for mF International. With a current market cap of $9.54 million and trading at $0.70, the company faces significant challenges in meeting the $1.00 minimum bid requirement. This situation typically leaves companies with strategic options:

Common compliance strategies include:

  • Reverse stock split - While this would mathematically increase the share price, it doesn't address underlying business fundamentals
  • Business development initiatives to attract investor interest
  • Strategic transactions or restructuring to enhance value

The implications for investors are substantial. A potential delisting from Nasdaq would result in:

  • Reduced liquidity and wider bid-ask spreads
  • institutional investor access
  • Decreased analyst coverage
  • Potential migration to over-the-counter markets

While the company states this development doesn't affect operations or SEC reporting requirements, the market typically views repeated bid price compliance extensions as a red flag. The July 28, 2025 deadline provides important time for strategic maneuvers, but historical patterns show that companies in similar situations often struggle to achieve sustainable compliance without significant operational improvements or corporate actions.

HONG KONG, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- mF International Limited (the "Company" or "mF International") (Nasdaq: MFI), a Hong Kong-based experienced financial trading solutions provider, today announced that it has received an extension of 180 calendar days (the "Extension Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq (the "Bid Price Requirement"), following the expiration of the initial 180 calendar days period to regain compliance on January 28, 2025.

As previously announced, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq dated August 1, 2024, indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares for the previous 30 consecutive business days was below $1.00 per share, the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, and Nasdaq granted the Company a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

As of the date hereof, the Company has not regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Pursuant to the Extension Notice, the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until July 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the Company's Class A ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event that compliance cannot be demonstrated by July 28, 2025, the staff of Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Class A ordinary shares between now and July 28, 2025, and is considering its options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Company believes that the Extension Notice does not affect the Company's business operations, its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, or its contractual obligations.
