GlobeNewswire Inc.
AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
ANPC), a biotechnology company with operations in the United States
and China focused on early cancer screening and detection announced
that, on January 13, 2023, it received a Staff determination
letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of the
Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities from The
Nasdaq Capital Market due to the Company’s failure to comply with
the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Equity Rule”),
unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq
Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Accordingly, the Company intends to
timely request a hearing. The hearing request will automatically
stay any delisting or suspension action relating to the Company’s
American Depositary Shares through the hearing and the expiration
of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following
the hearing.
At the hearing, the Company intends to present a
plan to achieve and sustain compliance with the Equity Rule and all
applicable requirements for continued listing and to request an
extension of time within which to complete its compliance plan.
However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the
Company’s request for a further extension or that the Company will
ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for
continued listing.
