Dragon Victory International Limited Receives Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter

HANGZHOU, China–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dragon Victory International Limited (Nasdaq: LYL) (the “Company”), a company offering reward-based crowdfunding opportunities and quality incubation services to entrepreneurs in China, announced today that on June 5, 2020, it received a Nasdaq staff deficiency letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Nasdaq Letter, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. The Nasdaq Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and, at this time, the ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “LYL.”

The Nasdaq Letter provides that the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Nasdaq Letter also stated that given the extraordinary market conditions caused by COVID-19, Nasdaq has determined to toll the compliance periods for the bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements through June 30, 2020. As a result, the tolling and 180 calendar day compliance period will expire on December 28, 2020. If at any time during the tolling period or 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance by December 28, 2020, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, if the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement and notifies Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse share split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its ordinary shares will be subject to delisting, at which point the Company will have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding ordinary shares, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
