Trident Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination Letter and Intent to Request Hearing

SINGAPORE, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd (“Trident” or the “Company,” NASDAQ: TDTH), a leading catalyst for digital transformation in technology optimization services and Web 3.0 activation based in Singapore, today announced that it received a letter dated April 28, 2026 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that since its listed securities did not have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180 calendar days ended April 27, 2026, the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share.

The Company is not eligible for a second 180-day period to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company does not comply with the US$5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for the Nasdaq Capital Market, and has received a letter from Nasdaq on March 26, 2026 indicating that, based upon the Company’s market value of listed securities for the 34 consecutive business day period from February 5, 2026 through March 20, 2026, the Company did not maintain the minimum market value of listed securities of US$35,000,000 required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The Company is afforded a period until September 22, 2026, in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2).

Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel by May 5, 2026, the Company’s securities will be scheduled for delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on May 7, 2026, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Hearings Panel to present its plan for regaining compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and request continued listing pending its return to compliance. A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Hearings Panel’s decision. 

In connection with its plan to regain compliance, on April 7, 2026, the Company announced its plan to change the ratio of its ADS to Class B ordinary shares from the previous ratio of one (1) ADS to eight (8) Class B ordinary shares to a new ratio of one (1) ADS to two hundred and forty (240) Class B ordinary shares. Effective April 24, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-30 reverse share split.
