SPI Energy Co., Ltd. Announces Receipt of Notice Regarding Non-Compliance with Continued Listing Standards

HONG KONG and SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPI Energy Co., Ltd. ("SPI Energy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SPI), a global provider of green energy solutions for business, residential, government and utility customers and investors, today announced that it received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (“Nasdaq”) on April 28, 2020 notifying the Company that its bid price per ordinary share had been below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and, therefore, that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Rule 5450(a)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The rules also provide that the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance.

Given current market conditions, Nasdaq previously determined to toll the compliance periods for bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements (collectively, the "Price-based Requirements") through June 30, 2020. As a result, the Company will, upon reinstatement of the Price-based Requirements, still have 180 calendar days from July 1, 2020, or until December 28, 2020, to regain compliance.

The Notices have no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's securities. The Company can regain compliance at any time before December 28, 2020 by evidencing compliance with the bid price requirement for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days.
