TOKYO, April 24, 2025 — PicoCELA Inc. (“PicoCELA” or the “Company,” Nasdaq: PCLA), a wireless mesh solutions provider for enterprises based in Tokyo, announced today that it has been notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on April 22, 2025, via a letter (the “Notification Letter”), that it doesn’t meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which mandates immediate disclosure upon receiving a deficiency notification.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) mandates that listed companies maintain a minimum share price of US$1.00, and Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) stipulates that failure to meet this requirement occurs if the deficiency persists for 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for the 30 consecutive business days spanning from March 10, 2025 to April 21, 2025, the Company is no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price rule.
The Notification Letter does not currently affect the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. According to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a 180-day period, until October 20, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To achieve compliance, the Company’s ADSs must maintain a closing price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. Should the Company opt for a reverse stock split to regain compliance, it must finalize the split at least ten business days before October 20, 2025. If the Company fails to regain compliance by October 20, 2025, it may be eligible for an extension or may be subject to delisting.
The Notification Letter’s receipt does not impact the Company’s operations. The Company plans to monitor its ADSs’ closing price and may consider available options, including a reverse share split of its outstanding ADSs, to meet the Nasdaq Listing Rules’ minimum bid price requirement.
