Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 3, 2024, Moatable, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice letter (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of NYSE Regulation of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that, NYSE has determined to commence proceedings to delist Company’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing 45 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, from the NYSE, and that trading in the Company’s ADSs was suspended immediately. NYSE reached its determination to delist the Company’s ADSs pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15,000,000.
The Delisting Notice also indicated that the Company has a right to a review of this determination by a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE within ten business days after receiving the delisting notice. The NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the ADSs upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE’s decision.
The Company’s ADSs will open on the OTC Markets’ Pink market on April 4, 2024. In the meantime, the Company is evaluating alternatives, including applying for the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplaces.
