Luckin Coffee Receives Delisting Notice from Nasdaq and Plans to Request Hearing
May 19 2020 - 9:00AM
Luckin Coffee Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LK) today
announced that on May 15, 2020, it received a written notice
(the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Listing
Qualifications Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
indicating that the Listing Qualifications Staff has determined to
delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Listing
Qualifications Staff cited two bases for the delisting
determination: (i) public interest concerns as raised by the
fabricated transactions disclosed by the Company in a Form 6-K on
April 2, 2020, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101; and (ii) the
Company’s past failure to publicly disclose material information,
citing a business model through which the previously disclosed
fabricated transactions were executed, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5250.
The Company plans to timely request a hearing
(the “Hearing”) before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The
Company will remain listed on Nasdaq, pending the outcome of the
Hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the
Company’s request for continued listing. According to the Notice,
the Hearing will typically be scheduled to occur approximately 30
to 45 days after the date of the hearing request.
