FOSHAN, China, Sept. 2,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bright Scholar
Education Holdings Limited ("Bright Scholar" or the "Company")
(NYSE: BEDU), a global premier education service
company, today announced that based upon a notice the Company
received on September 1,
2022 from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), the
Company has regained compliance with the NYSE's continued listing
standard for share prices.
On March 25, 2022, the NYSE
notified the Company of its non-compliance with the NYSE's price
criteria for continued listing standard because, as of
March 24, 2022, the average closing price of the Company's
American Depositary Shares (the "ADSs") was less than US$1.00 per ADS over a consecutive 30 trading-day
period. In order to regain compliance with the minimum share price
requirement, the Company changed the ratio of its ADSs to its Class
A ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio"), par value US$0.00001 per share, from the previous ADS Ratio
of one (1) ADS to one (1) Class A ordinary share to the current ADS
Ratio of one (1) ADS to four (4) Class A ordinary shares, effective
August 19, 2022.
On September 1, 2022, the Company
received a confirmation from the NYSE that a calculation of the
Company's average ADS price for the 30-trading days ended
August 31, 2022, indicated that the
Company's ADS price was above the NYSE's minimum requirement of
US$1.00 based on a 30-trading day
average. Accordingly, the Company is no longer considered below the
US$1.00 continued listing criterion.
As a result, the Company has regained compliance within the
prescribed time, and the ADSs will continue to be traded on the
NYSE, subject to the Company's continued compliance with all
applicable continued listing criteria.
