OneConnect Announces Receipt of Notice Regarding NYSE Continued Listing Standards

OneConnect Financial Technology Co., Ltd. (“OneConnect” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OCFT), a leading technology-as-a-service provider for financial institutions in China, today announced that it received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) dated October 6, 2022, notifying the Company that it is below the NYSE’s continued listing standards due to the trading price of OneConnect’s American depositary shares (the “ADSs”). The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s ADSs, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards and other rights of the NYSE to delist the ADSs. The NYSE notification does not affect the Company’s business operations, its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements or contractual obligations.

Pursuant to Section 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, a company will be considered to be below compliance standards if the average closing price of its security as reported on the consolidated tape is less than US$1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Company has six months (the “Cure Period”) following receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company can regain compliance at any time during the Cure Period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the Cure Period the Company has a closing share price of at least US$1.00 per ADS and an average closing share price of at least US$1.00 per ADS over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. In the event that at the expiration of the six-month Cure Period, both a US$1.00 per ADS closing share price on the last trading day of the Cure Period and a US$1.00 per ADS average closing share price over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the Cure Period are not attained, the NYSE will commence suspension and delisting procedures.

The Company has been closely monitoring the closing share price of its ADSs and plans to take reasonable measures to regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards, including through effecting an ADS ratio change if needed.
