Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd received a 180-day extension from Nasdaq to comply with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement necessary for continued listing. The company must maintain this price for at least ten consecutive business days by January 11, 2027, or risk delisting. The company is exploring possible compliance measures, including a potential reverse share split, but no guarantee of compliance exists at this time.

Key Points

  • Nasdaq granted Cellyan Biotechnology an additional 180-day grace period to regain compliance with minimum bid price rule.
  • The company operates in the OTC pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain and distribution sector, primarily serving Mainland Chinese customers via Hong Kong subsidiaries.
  • The stock continues to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under ticker HKPD during the compliance period.

HONG KONG, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cellyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd (Nasdaq: HKPD) (the "Company"), a leading provider of over the counter (“OTC”) pharmaceutical cross-border e-commerce supply chain services in Hong Kong, today announced that it received a notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) on July 14, 2026 from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department indicating that the Company has been granted an additional 180 calendar day period, or until January 11, 2027, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum $1.00 closing bid price requirement (“the Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq.  To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days on or prior to the end of the 180-day extension period, or January 11, 2027.

The Company will coordinate all feasible compliance solutions to restore listing compliance within the designated timeframe and safeguard the interests of all shareholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Nasdaq’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse share split. The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company's class A ordinary shares, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on Nasdaq under the ticker “HKPD.”
