SINGAPORE - SIMPPLE LTD. (NASDAQ:SPPL), a PropTech company specializing in autonomous facilities management solutions, has been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of non-compliance with the exchange's minimum bid price requirement. The notification, dated April 26, 2024, was issued after the company's shares closed below the $1 threshold from March 14, 2024, to April 25, 2024.
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), companies are required to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. SIMPPLE LTD. has been granted a 180-day period, until October 23, 2024, to regain compliance with this requirement. If the company fails to meet the standard within this timeframe, it may be afforded an additional 180 days, provided it meets all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the bid price.
The company is considering measures to address the deficiency, including a potential reverse stock split. Despite the efforts to regain compliance, SIMPPLE LTD. has stated there is no guarantee of meeting the continued listing requirement. The current situation does not immediately affect the trading of the company's ordinary shares, which continue to be listed under the ticker "SPPL."
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Singapore, SIMPPLE LTD. has established a presence in the Singapore facilities management market with over 60 clients across the public and private sectors, and has expanded its reach to Australia and the Middle East.

As SIMPPLE LTD. (NASDAQ:SPPL) navigates through its compliance challenges with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, investors are closely monitoring the company's financial health and stock performance.
The latest data from InvestingPro shows a market capitalization of $11.3 million, reflecting the size of the company in the current market. Despite an impressive gross profit margin of 58.16% for the last twelve months as of Q2 2023, SIMPPLE LTD. has not been profitable during this period, which is evident from its negative P/E ratio of -13.88.
The stock's price volatility is also a point of interest, with the price having fallen significantly over the past year, as indicated by the -85.79% one-year price total return. This may be a concern for investors looking for stability or growth in share value.
Moreover, the company's short-term obligations exceed its liquid assets, which could pose liquidity risks under current market conditions. These factors are essential considerations for current and potential shareholders, especially in light of the company's recent non-compliance notification.
