Sify Technologies Ltd. Notified by NASDAQ of Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

Published July 24, 2024

CHENNAI, India – Sify Technologies Limited SIFY, an esteemed provider of integrated information communications technology (ICT) solutions and services both in India and internationally, has been formally notified by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department of a non-compliance issue pertaining to the minimum bid price requirement. This development was made public on July 24, 2024, as the Chennai-based company disclosed the receipt of a deficiency letter.

Understanding NASDAQ's Minimum Bid Price Requirement

NASDAQ enforces a minimum bid price rule as a measure to uphold the quality of the market and protect investors. A price of at least $1.00 per share is generally required for continued listing. Should the bid price of a company's security fall below this threshold for a period of 30 consecutive business days, NASDAQ may issue a deficiency notice. SIFY now faces the task of addressing this requirement to maintain its listing status.

The Path Forward for Sify Technologies

In light of the notification, SIFY has a period of 180 days to regain compliance. The Company can achieve this by ensuring its common stock maintains a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. During this grace period, SIFY shares will continue to trade on the NASDAQ without interruption. The Company is considering various options to resolve the deficiency and uphold the interests of its stakeholders.

Continued Commitment Despite Setback

Sify Technologies, headquartered in Chennai, India, reiterates its ongoing dedication to delivering top-tier ICT solutions and services. The notification from NASDAQ, while a compliance setback, has not deterred the company's commitment to its long-term business goals and its clients. SIFY remains resolute in its strategy to enhance shareholder value and ensure adherence to all applicable regulatory requirements.
