Dragon Victory International Limited Receives Nasdaq Staff Deficiency Letter
HANGZHOU, China, May 31, 2019 -- Dragon Victory International Limited (Nasdaq: LYL) (the “Company”), a company offering reward-based crowdfunding opportunities and quality incubation services to entrepreneurs in China, announced today that on May 22, 2019, it received a Nasdaq staff deficiency letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 requires that the Company’s board of directors must be comprised of a majority of independent directors. The Company’s board of directors had been comprised of three independent directors and two non-independent directors, but the recent resignation of an independent director, Ms. Han Zhang, due to personal reasons resulted in an equal number of independent and non-independent directors of the Company. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 also requires the Company to have at least three independent directors on the audit committee of its board of directors. Ms. Zhang’s resignation leaved the audit committee with only two independent directors.
The Nasdaq Letter provides that, consistent with Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:
● | until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or April 1, 2020; or | |
● | if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before September 30, 2019, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than September 30, 2019. |
The Company plans to replace Ms. Zhang and regain compliance with Rule 5605 by appointing another independent director within the cure period.
