Oatly Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement
Oatly Group AB (“Oatly” or the “Company”) received a notification letter on December 18, 2023 (the “Compliance Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
As previously announced, the Company was notified by Nasdaq on November 6, 2023 that the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement as the bid price of the Company’s American depositary shares (“ADSs”) closed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
In the Compliance Notice, Nasdaq confirmed that for ten consecutive business days, from December 1, 2023 to December 14, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company’s ADSs has been $1.00 per ADS or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
