8-K: Triller Group Inc. Receives Nasdaq Delisting Notice Over Sub-$1 Share Price

Triller Group Inc. has been notified by Nasdaq of non-compliance with the minimum $1 bid price requirement, initiating a 180-day period to regain compliance and avoid delisting.

Summary

• Triller Group Inc. (ILLR) received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on June 30, 2025, indicating non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1 per share.
• The non-compliance stems from the company's common stock closing bid price being below $1 for the last 30 consecutive business days.
• The company has been granted a period of 180 calendar days, until December 29, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
• To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the common stock must be at least $1 per share for 10 consecutive business days during this 180-day period.
• If compliance is not regained within the initial period, the company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if it meets other listing standards and provides written notice of intent to cure the deficiency, potentially through a reverse stock split.
• Failure to regain compliance could lead to the common stock being subject to delisting, which the company can appeal to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel.
• The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the company's common stock from Nasdaq.

Management Comments

• "The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock and consider its available options in the event that the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock remains below $1 per share."
• "There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements."

Industry Context

This situation is common for smaller or struggling public companies that experience significant stock price declines, often reflecting broader market sentiment or specific company performance issues. Maintaining listing on major exchanges like Nasdaq is crucial for liquidity, investor confidence, and access to capital markets.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Face increased risk of delisting, which can severely impact liquidity, stock price, and investor confidence. Potential for reverse stock split could dilute existing shares or change share structure.
• Company: Loss of Nasdaq listing could hinder access to capital markets, reduce visibility, and negatively impact reputation.

Next Steps

• Monitor the closing bid price of the common stock.
• Consider available options to regain compliance.
• Potentially seek an additional 180-day compliance period if eligible.
• Potentially effect a reverse stock split if necessary to cure the deficiency.
• Appeal a delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel if issued.
