Bid-Price Compliance Regained
Nasdaq letter dated October 14, 2026 confirms TNL Mediagene is back in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the $1 minimum bid price requirement, following the 1-for-8 reverse split effective September 8, 2026.

-
October 30 Delisting Deadline
The company must demonstrate equity-rule compliance on or before October 30, 2026; failure would subject its securities to delisting from Nasdaq.

Analysis · TNMG · Trade & Services
TNL Mediagene cleared one of the two Nasdaq conditions hanging over the stock: the October 14, 2026 letter confirms it is back above the $1 minimum bid price, the goal of the 1-for-8 reverse split that took effect September 8, 2026. That removes the immediate bid-price delisting trigger, but the more binding condition is untouched — the company must show at least $2.5 million of stockholders' equity by October 30, 2026, and the letter states it is still non-compliant. With a market value of roughly $2.5 million and a pending $5.5 million management buyout of the Japanese business, the equity test is the real gate: fail it and the shares are subject to delisting. The company says it intends to take all steps necessary to demonstrate compliance before the deadline, but gives no specifics on how.
