SHANGHAI, May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hywin Holdings Ltd. (“Hywin”, or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HYW) today announced that it has received a notification letter dated May 28, 2024 (the "Notice") from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. (the "Nasdaq"), indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Rule 5450(a)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules as the closing bid price of the Company's American depositary shares ("ADSs") has been below US$1.00 per ADS for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ADSs on Nasdaq.

Pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 25, 2024 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per ADS is at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by November 25, 2024, subject to the determination by the staff of Nasdaq, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In this case, the Company will need to provide a written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

The Notice does not affect the Company's business operations, its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements or contractual obligations, and the Company will take all reasonable measures to regain compliance within the prescribed Compliance Period.
