Multiple Listing Rule Violations
The delisting is based on the company's failure to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price rule, not meeting the $5 million minimum stockholders' equity initial listing requirement, and the failure to file its Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Nasdaq indicated that trading in the company's securities will be suspended at the opening of business on May 26, 2026, unless the company successfully appeals the determination.

auto_awesomeAnalysis
Semilux International Ltd. faces imminent delisting from Nasdaq due to a combination of critical failures: not maintaining the minimum $1.00 bid price, failing to meet the $5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement, and not filing its annual Form 20-F. While the company intends to appeal, the multiple and severe nature of these violations, especially after shareholders approved a reverse stock split in April 2026 (likely to address the bid price), indicates significant operational and financial distress. Delisting would severely impact the company's liquidity and access to capital.
