Borqs Technologies Receives Nasdaq Deficiency Notification


SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Borqs Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BRQS, “Borqs”, or the “Company”), a global provider of 5G wireless, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, and innovative clean energy, today announced that the Company received deficiency notifications from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 28, 2022, notifying the Company that it is not (i) in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq’s rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq; and (ii) that the Company’s listed securities did not maintain a minimum market value of $35 million (“MVLS”) for a period of 30 consecutive business days to meet the MVLS requirement.

Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and failure to do so for a period of 30 consecutive business days triggers a deficiency notice. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days from September 16, 2022 to October 27, 2022, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

To regain compliance under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the Company’s ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. To regain compliance under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), the Company’s MVLS must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by April 26, 2023 (the 180 calendar days the Company has to regain compliance under the minimum bid price and MVLS requirements), the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and MVLS requirement or may face delisting. If during any compliance period the ordinary shares have a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive trading days, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department shall issue a Staff Delisting Determination regarding the minimum bid price requirement. The notification letters do not impact the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time.

“Given the Fortune 500 customer list from our IoT business and the growing demand in the U.S. market for solar and energy storage, we believe the current stock price and market value do not reflect the true value of our Company,” said Mr. Pat Chan, CEO of Borqs Technologies, “we will work diligently to address the deficiency notices from Nasdaq. As always, our goal is to create a sustainable business model and create long-term value to our shareholders.”
