FBS Global Limited received a deficiency notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 16 after its ordinary shares failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
The company disclosed the receipt of the notice in a press release on Thursday.
According to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), companies listed on the exchange must maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. FBS Global has been granted a 180-calendar-day grace period, until October 13, 2026, to regain compliance. To do so, the company's shares must close at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the company's shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol FBS. However, failure to regain compliance within the grace period could lead to delisting.
A delisting from Nasdaq would represent a significant blow to FBS Global, potentially reducing the stock's liquidity and making it more difficult for the company to raise capital in the future. The deficiency notice itself can weigh on investor sentiment, contributing to further selling pressure.
If the company does not meet the minimum bid price requirement by the October deadline, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, provided it meets other initial listing standards for the exchange.
The notice forces management to address the stock's poor performance. Investors will be watching for any announcements of a reverse stock split or other corporate actions aimed at curing the deficiency before the compliance period expires.
