STBX StarBox Group Holdings Ltd

Starbox Group Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: STBX) ("Starbox" or the "Company"), a service provider of cash rebates, advertising, and payment solutions with a goal of becoming a comprehensive artificial intelligence solutions provider in Southeast Asia, today announced that the Company received a staff determination notice (the “Staff Determination Notice”) from the Listings Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on March 7, 2025, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Furthermore, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period, since the Company has effected two reverse stock splits over the prior one-year period,. The Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on March 18, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Suspension”), unless the Company requests an appeal of such determination to Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel (the "Panel").

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days from January 21, 2025 to March 6, 2025, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) specifies that if a Company’s security fails to meet the continued listing requirement for minimum bid price and the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then the Company shall not be eligible for any compliance period. In that regard, on October 31, 2024, the Company effected a 16 to 1 share consolidation. Subsequently, on March 3, 2025, the Company effected a 10 for 1 share consolidation, making the cumulative share consolidation ratio 160 to 1. As a result, the Company is not eligible for any compliance period.

The Company's operations are not affected by the receipt of the Staff Determination Notice. The Company intends to timely appeal Nasdaq’s determination to the Panel, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. The Company’s hearing request will stay the Suspension and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. About Starbox Group Holdings Ltd.
