TNL Mediagene Achieves Nasdaq Compliance

TNL Mediagene, headquartered in Tokyo, has successfully regained compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s bid price rule. This announcement was made following a letter received from Nasdaq on January 20, 2026. The company, trading under the ticker symbol TNMG, had faced potential delisting due to poor stock performance but has taken the steps necessary to meet Nasdaq's listed requirements once more.

According to the letter, TNL Mediagene's compliance was determined after its ordinary shares maintained a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a stretch of fifteen consecutive trading days, from December 23, 2025, to January 14, 2026. This was crucial in ensuring that the company remained aligned with the Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Moreover, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which made the compliance determination, has decided to implement a yearly Discretionary Panel Monitor. This monitor will oversee the company’s efforts to address ongoing compliance issues proactively. As part of this watch, TNL Mediagene must demonstrate ongoing adherence to Nasdaq's continued listing standards. If the company fails to meet any of the listing standards during this monitoring period, it will lose the ability to provide a compliance plan or receive any additional time to rectify the shortfall. Instead, a Delist Determination Letter would be issued, providing the company an opportunity for a new hearing.

TNL Mediagene was established in 2023 through the merger of two prominent digital media entities in Asia: The News Lens Co. from Taiwan and Japan's Mediagene Inc. This combination aimed to leverage their strengths in providing comprehensive digital media solutions, innovative advertising services, and diverse content across various languages including Japanese, Chinese, and English. With a team of approximately 500 Asain professionals, TNL Mediagene has positioned itself as a leader in original media as well as licensed brands, serving a wide array of topics ranging from news to entertainment and much more.

The recent success in compliance reflects the company’s commitment to its financial health and operational integrity. It also serves as an encouraging sign for investors and stakeholders, reaffirming their trust in the company's strategic direction and future potential.

As TNL Mediagene moves forward, continuing to enhance its offerings in digital media and maintain its operational standards, all eyes will be on how effectively it adheres to the requirements set forth by Nasdaq. The experience creates a framework that not only promotes financial compliance but also supports the overall growth and innovation in the rapidly evolving media landscape.

In the coming year, the company's strategies will be critical as they align their objectives with Nasdaq's stringent requirements. TNL Mediagene’s proactive involvement in compliance monitoring highlights its dedication to maintaining listings and ensuring a robust future in the competitive digital media sector. Investors can expect continued transparency and communication from the company as it seeks to navigate the challenges ahead,

Being an essential player in the digital media space, TNL Mediagene will likely focus on leveraging its innovations—it is known for its politically neutral stance and attracts a younger audience with its high-quality content. The coming months will be indicative of the company's ability to sustain compliance and foster future growth in both the international and local markets.
