ATA Creativity Global Announces Receipt of a Bid Deficiency Notice from Nasdaq
ATA Creativity Global received a Nasdaq deficiency notice because its ADS bid price has been below $1.00 for 31 consecutive business days, violating Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The notice has no immediate listing effect; the company has until March 29, 2027 to regain compliance by trading at $1.00 or higher for 10 consecutive business days.
If it fails, a second 180-day period may be available, potentially requiring a reverse stock split -- a signal of continued listing risk for this micro-cap.
