China Auto Logistics Receives Nasdaq Letter Regarding Non-Compliance With Minimum Bid Price Rule; Will Consider All Options to Maintain Listing
(firmenpresse) - TIANJIN, CHINA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/21/12 -- (the "Company" or "CALI") (NASDAQ: CALI), one of China's leading developers of websites for buyers and sellers of imported and domestic automobiles, a top seller in China of imported luxury cars, and a leading provider of auto-related services, reported today it received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that for 30 consecutive business days prior to May 15, 2012, the bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule").
The Nasdaq letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock. In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will be provided 180 calendar days, or until November 12, 2012, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company may regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule if the bid price of the Company's Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time prior to November 12, 2012.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider all available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
Mr. Tong Shiping, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented further, "We believe that with our outstanding record of sales growth -- including a year over year increase of 75% in 2011, and a 32% year over year increase in our first quarter sales this year -- as well as a PE ratio of only 1.6x 2011 earnings, and a continuing growth outlook for luxury auto sales in China, we believe our shares are very significantly undervalued. Going forward, as we continue to focus on growing our business, we believe investors will recognize our strengths and CALI shares will be valued more appropriately."
