WENZHOU, China, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ZKIN) (“ZKIN“, “ZK International” or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and supplier of patented high-performance stainless steel and carbon steel pipe products, is pleased to announce two important updates regarding its Nasdaq listing status.
1. Compliance with Periodic Filing Requirements
On February 20, 2024, ZK International was notified by Nasdaq Staff that the Company no longer meet the periodic filing requirements under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to a delayed filing of our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023. We are pleased to report that, based on the timely filing of our annual report on August 13, 2024, Nasdaq Staff has confirmed that ZK International is now in full compliance with the Rule. Accordingly, this matter is now officially closed.
2. Bid Price Compliance Plan
On February 15, 2024, ZK International was notified that the Company’s listed security no longer meet the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement under Nasdaq’s Listing Rules. Despite our efforts, the bid price has not regained compliance within the initial 180-day period, which ended on August 13, 2024. However, Nasdaq Staff has determined that ZK International is eligible for an additional 180-day period, until February 10, 2025, to regain compliance.
This extension is granted based on the Company’s continued compliance with all other applicable listing requirements, except for the bid price, and our written notice of intention to cure the deficiency, including the potential use of a reverse stock split if necessary. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during this additional 180-day period.
