FOSHAN, China, April 1,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bright Scholar Education
Holdings Limited ("Bright Scholar" or the "Company") (NYSE: BEDU),
a global premier education service company, today announced that it
has received a letter (the "Letter") from the New York Stock
Exchange (the "NYSE") dated March 25,
2022, notifying the Company that it is below compliance
standards due to the trading price of the Company's American
depositary shares (the "ADSs") and that the applicable cure period
for the Company to regain compliance expires on September 26, 2022.
Pursuant to applicable NYSE continued listing standards, a
company would be considered "below criteria" by the NYSE if the
average closing price of a security as reported on the consolidated
tape is less than $1.00 over a
consecutive 30 trading-day period. Once notified, the company must
bring its ADS trading price and average ADS trading price back
above $1.00 within the applicable
cure period following receipt of the notification. The company can
regain compliance at any time during the cure period if on the last
trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the
company has an ADS closing price of at least $1.00 and an average ADS closing price of at
least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day
period ending on the last trading day of that month. In the event
that at the expiration of the cure period, both a $1.00 ADS closing price on the last trading day
of the cure period and a $1.00
average ADS closing price over the 30 trading-day period ending on
the last trading day of the cure period are not attained, the NYSE
will commence suspension and delisting procedures.
To address this issue, the Company intends to monitor the market
conditions of its listed securities and is still considering its
options.
