MICT Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Rule
December 15 2022 - 1:00PM
MICT, Inc. (NASDAQ: MICT) (“MICT”) announced today that it has
received a Bid Price Compliance Letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market
LLC ("Nasdaq") informing MICT that it has regained compliance with
the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
MICT was previously notified by Nasdaq on
February 2, 2022 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid
price rule because its common stock failed to meet the closing bid
price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days, as
required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. To regain compliance with the
Rule, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid
price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive trading days.
This requirement was met on December 14, 2022, the tenth
consecutive trading day of MICT’s common stock bid price closing
above $1.00.
Darren Mercer, Chief Executive Officer
of MICT, commented: “We are pleased to regain compliance
with the Nasdaq listing requirements as we continue to focus on the
integration of our recent acquisition, Tingo Mobile Limited, and
deliver against our accelerated global expansion strategy.”

Nwassa’s payment gateway also has an escrow structure that creates
trust between buyers and sellers. Tingo Mobile’s system provides
real-time pricing, straight from the farms, eliminating middlemen.
Tingo Mobile’s users pay for produce bought using available pricing
on its platform.
