NANJING, China, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuniu Corporation (Nasdaq: TOUR) ("Tuniu" or the "Company"), a leading online leisure travel company in China, today announced that it received a notification letter (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. ("Nasdaq") dated on May 18, 2020, indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company's American depositary shares (the "ADSs"), each representing three Class A ordinary shares of the Company, was below the minimum bid price of $1.00 required for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company's securities.
Pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. The Notice also stated that given the extraordinary market conditions caused by COVID-19, Nasdaq has determined to toll the compliance periods for the bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements through June 30, 2020. As a result, the tolling and 180 calendar day compliance period will expire on December 28, 2020. If at any time during the tolling period or 180 day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company's security is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance by December 28, 2020, subject to the determination by the staff of Nasdaq, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period as stated in the Notice.
The Notice will have no effect on the operations of the Company's business, and the Company will take all reasonable measures to regain compliance.
