NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bit Origin Ltd (NASDAQ: BTOG) ("Bit Origin" or the "Company"), an emerging growth company engaged in the crypto mining business with diversified expansion strategies, announced today that the Company received a delinquency notification letter (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on November 20, 2024, which indicated that, as a result of the Company's delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the "Form 20-F") by the applicable due date, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule"), which requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan to regain compliance, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the prescribed due date of the Form 20-F, or until May 12, 2025, to file the Form 20-F to regain compliance; however, there can be no assurance that these events will occur.

Neither the Notice nor the Company's noncompliance with the Rule has an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on Nasdaq. The Company continues to work diligently to complete the Form 20-F and plans to file the same as promptly as possible to regain compliance with the Rule.
