TNL Mediagene Regains Compliance with Nasdaq's Bid Price Rule

TOKYO and TAIPEI, Taiwan, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG) (the "Company"), a Tokyo-based next-generation digital media and data group in Asia, today announced that it received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on January 20, 2026, that the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule"), as required by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel's (the "Panel") decision dated December 19, 2025.

The Nasdaq staff made this determination of compliance after the closing bid price of the Company's Ordinary Shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater for fifteen consecutive trading days from December 23, 2025 to January 14, 2026. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

The Panel also has determined to impose a Discretionary Panel Monitor under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A) for a period of one year from the date of this letter, to make sure that the Company proactively addresses any future potential compliance concerns and demonstrates long-term compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements. If the Panel or the Listing Qualifications Department determines that the Company fails any listing standard during the one-year monitoring period, then, notwithstanding Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Listing Qualifications Department with a plan of compliance with respect to any deficiency that arises during the one-year monitoring period, and the Listing Qualifications Department will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to any deficiency, nor will the company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Nasdaq staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable, as provided by the Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C).
