RISE Education Cayman Ltd. (REDU) Stock Sliding in Aftermarket, Here’s the Reason

RISE Education Cayman Ltd. (REDU), a company that provides junior English language training services through its subsidiaries, has declined 4.50% during aftermarket trading session and consequently is trading at $0.50 at the time of the writing. The decline could be attributed to the receipt of the NASDAQ notice for non-compliance. On Tuesday, REDU stock closed the day at $0.53 after gaining an increase of 2.56% during the regular trading session.

Why REDU Declining?

In the late hours of Tuesday, REDU announced that on the 11th of January, the company received the notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq Stock Market that the company’s securities are decided to be delisted unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The decision was based upon the conclusion that the Company is a “public shell”. Public shell is defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 as the result of the Company’s sale of substantially all of its assets on December 30, 2021, as well as the Company’s failure to timely file its interim balance sheet and income statement for the period ended June 30, 2021, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said that it had requested a hearing before the Panel.
