TOKYO and TAIPEI, Taiwan – December 24, 2025 – TNL Mediagene (Nasdaq: TNMG), an Asia-focused digital media and data conglomerate, has been granted continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the company meeting specific requirements by January 7, 2026. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel delivered this decision following a December 16 hearing where TNL Mediagene presented its plan, including a previously announced reverse stock split, to regain compliance with the $1 bid price rule.
The company must demonstrate adherence to Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), commonly known as the $1 Bid Price Rule, by the January deadline. During this crucial period, TNL Mediagene is obligated to promptly notify Nasdaq of any significant events that could jeopardize its compliance status. The Panel retains the authority to reassess the listing status based on any evolving circumstances.
This development follows a determination letter from Nasdaq staff on November 6, 2025, which initially flagged the company for potential delisting due to its failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement after the initial compliance period. TNL Mediagene appealed this decision, securing the hearing and the subsequent conditional approval. The company’s shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq while the Panel conducts its final review.
**TNL Mediagene: A Digital Media Powerhouse in Asia**
Headquartered in Tokyo, TNL Mediagene was established in May 2023 through the strategic merger of Taiwan’s The News Lens Co. and Japan’s Mediagene Inc. This consolidation brought together two of Asia’s prominent independent digital media groups, creating a formidable entity with a broad operational scope.
The company’s portfolio encompasses original and licensed media brands available in Japanese, Chinese, and English. Its content spans a diverse range of topics including news, business, technology, science, food, sports, and lifestyle, catering to a wide demographic, particularly younger audiences, and maintaining a commitment to political neutrality.
Beyond content creation, TNL Mediagene is actively involved in providing AI-driven advertising services, sophisticated marketing technology platforms, e-commerce solutions, and innovative offerings tailored for advertising agencies. With approximately 500 employees across Asia, and offices in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, TNL Mediagene is strategically positioned for growth in the dynamic Asian digital landscape. The company’s overarching vision is to become a leading next-generation digital media and data group, leveraging technology and a robust content strategy to drive innovation and market leadership.
**Navigating Regulatory Scrutiny and Future Growth**
The current focus on meeting Nasdaq’s listing requirements highlights the challenges faced by publicly traded companies, particularly in rapidly evolving sectors like digital media. The $1 bid price rule, while a standard metric for market capitalization and investor confidence, can present hurdles for companies experiencing market volatility or undergoing strategic restructuring. TNL Mediagene’s proactive approach, including the reverse stock split, signals a commitment to addressing these compliance issues head-on.
The company’s diversified business model, encompassing content, advertising technology, and e-commerce, provides a degree of resilience. The integration of AI in its advertising services and marketing platforms suggests a forward-looking strategy aimed at enhancing efficiency and delivering value in a competitive market. As TNL Mediagene works to satisfy Nasdaq’s requirements, its ability to execute its growth strategies and leverage its technological capabilities will be key to its long-term success and investor confidence.
