The American depositary shares of Aslan Pharmaceuticals are trading lower on the Nasdaq Monday, after the biopharmaceutical company said it won't appeal plans to delist its stock from the exchange.
With less than an hour left in the trading day, the ADSs dropped 43% to trade at $1.42. Volume topped 1 million ADSs, above the 65-day average volume of 51,976 ADSs.
The company said that based on its non-compliance with the $1 bid price and $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirements for continued listing, the Nasdaq staff determined to delist the stock.
Aslan recently changed the ratio of its ordinary shares from one ADS representing 25 ordinary shares to one ADS representing 200 ordinary shares. Earlier Monday, the ADSs traded at $1.31, an all-time low.
