Exhibit 99.1
Burning Rock Regains Compliance with NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Requirement
GUANGZHOU, China, June 3, 2024Burning Rock Biotech Limited (NASDAQ: BNR and LSE: BNR, the Company or Burning Rock), a company focused on the application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technology in the field of precision oncology, today announced that it has received a notification letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ) on May 30, 2024, informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the Minimum Bid Price Requirement).
As previously announced, on December 29, 2023, the Company was notified by NASDAQ that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement because the closing bid price for the Companys American depositary shares (the ADSs) was below the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. To regain compliance, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days. In order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company changed the ratio of its ADSs representing its Class A ordinary shares from one (1) ADS representing one (1) Class A ordinary share to one (1) ADS representing ten (10) Class A ordinary shares. The change became effective on May 15, 2024.
On May 30, 2023, NASDAQ provided confirmation to the Company that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from May 15, 2024 to May 29, 2024, the closing bid price of the Companys ADSs had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and the matter is now closed.
