CHENNAI, India, July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sify Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: Sify) (the “Company”), a leading integrated information communications technology (or ICT) Solutions and Services provider in India, received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for the last 31 consecutive business days, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The letter also indicated that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until January 15, 2025, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. If at any time before January 15, 2025, the bid price of the ADSs closes at or above $1.00 per ADS for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the bid price requirement, and the matter will be closed.
The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the ADSs, which continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SIFY”.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance by January 15, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would 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, except for the bid price requirement. The Company would also be required to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period. If it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would provide notice to the Company that its ADSs would be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the bid price requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
