Nanjing, China, July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ostin Technology Group Co., Ltd. ("the Company") (Nasdaq: OST), a leading supplier of display modules and polarizers based in China, announced that on July 18, 2024, it received a notification letter (the "Extension Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until January 13, 2025 to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement (the "Bid Price Requirement").

As previously announced, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq dated January 19, 2024, indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, and Nasdaq granted the Company a period of 180 calendar days, or until July 17, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

Nasdaq’s determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse stock split.

The Extension Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Company’s class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OST”. To regain compliance, the Company's class A ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, at which point the matter will be closed.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its class A ordinary shares between now and January 13, 2025 and is considering its options in order to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Extension Notice does not affect the Company's business operations, its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, or its contractual obligations.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
