| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 15, 2019, CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice, the market value of publicly held shares of the Company’s common stock was less than $15 million, which does not meet the requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C) (the “MVPHS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), Nasdaq has provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until July 15, 2019, to regain compliance with the MVPHS Rule.
To regain compliance with the MVPHS Rule, the market value of publicly held shares of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $15 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the MVPHS Rule prior to the expiration of the 180-day period, it will receive written notification that its common stock is subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company may apply to transfer its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
