GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SRIVARU Holding Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Company"), issued a press release on January 21, 2025, announcing that it had received a determination from Nasdaq on January 17, 2025, to delist the Company's shares for failure to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement of Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). The Company's ordinary shares began trading on a reverse share split adjusted basis on Nasdaq as of the open of trading on January 15, 2025, but failed to close with a bid price greater than $1.00. The Company formally appealed the Nasdaq's determination on January 20, 2025, and is awaiting the Nasdaq's response. Notwithstanding the appeal, the Company has been notified that trading in the Company's ordinary shares will be suspended at the open of trading on January 22, 2025.
While the Company acknowledge the current price of our shares has dipped below this threshold, the Company believe that there are significant extenuating circumstances that warrant reconsideration of our listing status. The ongoing decline in our share price can be attributed to the unusual and is proportionate impact of actions taken by some holders of outstanding warrants. Specifically, these warrant holders have engaged in selling shares to influence the volume - the Company weighted average price (VWAP) during the reset period, which includes two days prior to and three days after the recent reverse stock split. This practice, while within legal boundaries, has distorted our stock's market value and fails to reflect the true underlying business performance and fundamentals of SRIVARU Holding Limited. These actions have contributed significantly to the downward pressure on our stock price, impeding our ability to meet the minimum bid price requirement. The Company is in the midst of engaging with the warrant holders for a full and final settlement of outstanding warrants to resolve the bid price issue.
