On June 26, 2019, Shineco, Inc. (“Shineco” or “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying Shineco that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for Shineco’s common stock was below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Nasdaq letter had no immediate effect on the listing of Shineco‘s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, Shineco was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until December 23, 2019 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If Shineco does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, Shineco may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify for such additional compliance period, Shineco would have to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and Shineco would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

On December 24, 2019, the Shineco received another written notification from Nasdaq indicating that Shineco is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until June 22, 2020, to regain compliance. Nasdaq’s determination is based on Shineco meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and Shineco’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Shineco’s security is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. Shineco will monitor the closing bid price of its common shares and will consider various options to regain compliance by the Expiration Date. There can be no assurance that Shineco will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
