Detected<\/p>\n<p class=\"context-pattern-text\">Recent corporate and clinical updates with generally positive tone saw mixed immediate price reactions, with one governance update drawing a slight negative move.<\/p>\n<p>        Recent Company History<\/p>\n<p class=\"context-history-recap-text\">Over the past months, Alps Group reported several governance and pipeline developments. Board and CFO appointments in January 2026 and April 2026 aimed at strengthening financial oversight, while clinical and pipeline updates in January and February 2026 highlighted early-stage NK cell and exosome work. Price reactions to these otherwise constructive announcements ranged from about flat to modestly positive, suggesting that prior news did not consistently trigger strong directional moves, in contrast to the more clearly risk-focused Nasdaq deficiency notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"context-narrative-text\">&#13;<br \/>\n      This announcement highlights that Alps Group fell below Nasdaq\u2019s $1.00 minimum bid requirement over 30 consecutive business days and now faces a 180-day window, until November 11, 2026, to regain compliance. Historically, the company has focused on governance upgrades and early-stage clinical progress. Investors may watch how management addresses potential actions such as a reverse split, alongside execution on its biotech and wellness platform, to manage ongoing listing and financing risks.&#13;\n    <\/p>\n<p>      &#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<br \/>\n          nasdaq listing rules 5450(a)(1)&#13;<br \/>\n          &#13;<br \/>\n          regulatory&#13;<br \/>\n          &#13;<br \/>\n        &#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) is a stock exchange standard that requires a listed company&#8217;s shares to maintain a minimum trading bid price (commonly $1.00) to remain on the exchange.

For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each.

This can happen voluntarily or because the company no longer meets the exchange&#8217;s requirements. For investors, delisting means they can no longer buy or sell shares of that company on the exchange, which may make it more difficult to sell their investments or affect the stock&#8217;s value.<\/p>\n<p>        &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"context-ai-disclaimer\">AI-generated analysis.

(\u201cAlps Holdco\u201d), a fully integrated biotechnology research and healthcare platform specializing in predictive, preventive, and precision medicine, today announced that on May 15, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (\u201cNasdaq\u201d) notifying the Company that based on the closing bid price of the ordinary shares of the Company for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is currently not in compliance with the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company\u2019s ordinary shares on Nasdaq, and it does not affect the Company\u2019s current business operations or financial condition. Nasdaq has provided the Company with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 11, 2026, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq continued listing requirement. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance in the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, should the Company meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and is able to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company\u2019s securities will be subject to delisting.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company is currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intends to timely regain compliance with Nasdaq\u2019s continued listing requirement. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirement.<\/p>\n<p>About Alps Group<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Alps Group Inc is the parent company of Alps Life Sciences Inc., an integrated biotechnology platform integrating research and development, medical services, and wellness solutions of advanced therapies under one unified ecosystem aimed at improving healthcare outcomes globally.

According to the company, the stock traded below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a minimum bid price deficiency under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<\/p>\n<p>        How long does Alps Group (ALPS) have to regain Nasdaq minimum bid price compliance?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n          Alps Group has an initial 180-day compliance period, ending November 11, 2026, to restore its bid price. According to the company, it may qualify for a second 180-day period if other initial listing standards, excluding bid price, are met and plans to cure are provided.&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<\/p>\n<p>        Does the Nasdaq bid price deficiency notice affect Alps Group (ALPS) trading or operations?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n          The Nasdaq notice has no immediate effect on Alps Group\u2019s listing, trading, operations, or financial condition. According to the company, its ordinary shares continue trading on Nasdaq while it evaluates options and works toward regaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<\/p>\n<p>        Could Alps Group (ALPS) be delisted from Nasdaq due to the minimum bid price deficiency?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n          Yes, delisting is possible if Alps Group cannot regain compliance within allowed periods. According to the company, Nasdaq may move to delist if the deficiency is not cured or the company fails to meet other initial listing standards required for an additional compliance period.&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<\/p>\n<p>        What actions might Alps Group (ALPS) take to fix its Nasdaq bid price deficiency?<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n          Alps Group is evaluating options and may consider a reverse stock split if needed. According to the company, it intends to use reasonable efforts to regain Nasdaq bid price compliance but cannot assure success or ongoing compliance with all continued listing requirements.&#13;\n        <\/p>\n<p>    &#13;<br \/>\n  &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Alps Group (Nasdaq:ALPS) received a Nasdaq notice on May 15, 2026 for not&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[16],"tags":[50,15288,336,36917,36916,36915,2929,25421],"class_list":["post-68440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-alps","tag-alps","tag-alps-group","tag-biotechnology","tag-delisting","tag-listing-compliance","tag-minimum-bid-price","tag-nasdaq","tag-stock-price"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116603262400839879","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
