SÃO PAULO, Brazil, Jan. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Semantix, Inc. (NASDAQ: STIX), a leading Latin American enterprise AI platform and applications provider, today announced that on January 2, 2024 it received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share set forth in Nasdaq Rules, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares for the last 34 consecutive business days from November 10, 2023 to December 29, 2023.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided with an initial 180 calendar days period, ending on July 1, 2024, to regain compliance with the Listing Rules. To regain compliance, the Company’s Ordinary Shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance within this initial period, it may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days period, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii), provided that it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all applicable standards for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (except the Minimum Bid Price Requirement) and notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure this deficiency during this second compliance period. If the Company has not regained compliance by the end of the second period granted by Nasdaq, the securities will be subject to delisting, pending an appeal to the Nasdaq Hearing Panel.

The Notice is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s business operations or listing of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Ordinary Shares and will, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse stock split of its Ordinary Shares, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Listing Rules.
