SINGAPORE, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JBDI Holdings Limited (“JBDI” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JBDI), today announced that it has received a written notification dated January 7, 2026 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Notification”). The Notification stated that the Company’s ordinary shares failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the last 30 consecutive business days as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Receipt of the Nasdaq Notification does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares and has no immediate effect on the listing or the trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JBDI”.

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company is provided 180 calendar days, or until July 6, 2026 to regain compliance with the Rule

The Determination Letter stated:

“If at any time during this compliance period, the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, [the staff] will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed..”

The Nadsaq Notification further provides that in the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period of July 6, 2026, it may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will 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, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effective a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, [the staff] will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to [the staff] that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, [the staff] will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.

“We are cognizant of the value to our shareholders of the listing of our shares on Nasdaq given the liquidity and pricing efficiency that the exchange provides. We pledge our best efforts towards improved performance which we believe will allow us to meet the continued listing standards,” stated Mr. Lim Chwee Poh, the Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
