AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mondee Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOND) ("Mondee" or the "Company"), a leading travel marketplace and artificial intelligence (AI) technology company, announced today that the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") issuing a Staff determination (the "Staff Determination") on November 27, 2024 after the Company informed the Staff that it would not contest a delisting of its Common Stock.

The Staff Determination noted that based on Staff's review and the Form 8-K filed on November 26, 2024 (the "Form 8-K"), they have determined to delist the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Form 8-K stated that, "On November 25, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") determined that the Company does not plan to submit a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ rules and does not plan to appeal NASDAQ's subsequent delisting of its Common Stock from NASDAQ." The Company's referenced Form 8-K was in response to Nasdaq's original notice that the Company did not comply with Nasdaq's filing requirements for continued inclusion set forth in Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it had not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024.

Accordingly, the Company's securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market. Trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on December 6, 2024 and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

This announcement is made in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a notification of deficiency.

The delisting does not impact the Company's business operations. The Company continues to support its customers, partners, and suppliers.
