Other Events

 

On October 26, 2021, Naked Brand Group Limited (the “Company”) received a notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company will be afforded an additional 180 calendar day period (or until April 25, 2022) to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.

 

As previously disclosed, on April 26, 2021, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that, for the 30 consecutive business days ending April 23, 2021, the closing bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares had been below the minimum of $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded an initial 180-day period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The notification letter also stated that in the event the Company did not regain compliance within the initial 180-day period, the Company could be eligible for additional time.

 

The Company did not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the initial 180-day period. However, Nasdaq determined that the Company was eligible for the additional 180-day period within which to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance, the bid price for shares of the Company’s ordinary shares must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The Company intends to cure the deficiency during the additional 180-day period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

Naked Brand Group Receives Extension to Regain Compliance with NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Rule

 

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – October 27, 2021 — Naked Brand Group Limited (Nasdaq: NAKD) (“Naked” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company has been granted a 180-day extension, or until April 25, 2022, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”).

 

On April 26, 2021, Nasdaq had notified the Company that its ordinary shares had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by the Rule. The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded an initial 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Rule.

 

On October 26, 2021, after the expiration of the initial 180-day compliance period, Nasdaq notified the Company of the extension. Nasdaq’s staff had determined that the Company was eligible under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) for an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance.

 

In order to regain compliance with the Rule, the Company is required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days at any time during this additional time period.
