Prenetics Global Limited (“Prenetics” or the “Company”, NASDAQ: PRE), a leading-genomics-driven health sciences company today announced that the Company had received a notification letter (“Compliance Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), dated November 29, 2023, indicating that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

As previously announced, the Company was notified by Nasdaq on June 29, 2023 that the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement as the bid price of the Company’s common stock closed below US$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.

On November 29, 2023, Nasdaq confirmed in the Compliance Notice that for the ten consecutive business days, from November 14, 2023 to November 28, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at US$1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), and the matter is closed.
