Everbright Digital Holding Limited Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

HONG KONG, Aug. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Everbright Digital Holding Limited (the “Company” or “Everbright”) (Nasdaq: EDHL), an integrated marketing solutions provider headquartered in Hong Kong, confirmed that on August 25, 2025, it received a written notification (the "Notification Letter") from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that it is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for continued listing.

The Notification Letter advised that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the minimum closing bid price per share for the Company's common stock was below the $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.

The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until February 23, 2026, to regain compliance. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per share of the Company's common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by February 23, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the second compliance period.

The Company's business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company is actively monitoring the bid price of its ordinary shares and is looking into various options available to regain compliance and maintain its continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to meet and maintain the minimum bid price of at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days as soon as practicable.
