Recommendation

hold

The company has demonstrated an ability to navigate past listing issues, but the current Minimum Bid Price Requirement non-compliance presents a significant risk. While the Listing Council's intervention offers some protection, the outcome remains uncertain. A 'hold' recommendation reflects the balance between potential recovery and the substantial risk of delisting.
