BIQI International Holdings Corporation Receives Nasdaq Notification of Non-Compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)

Wuhan, China, May 09, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BIQI International Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:BIQI) (“BIQI” or the "Company") today announced that on May 6, 2019, the Company received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that, because the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “Form 20-F”), the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Nasdaq letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s shares.

Nasdaq’s notification letter states that the Company has until May 20, 2019 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules (Nasdaq staff has determined to apply more stringent criteria and shorten the normal time period for the Company to submit its plan). If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 20-F to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The Company intends to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
