BEIJING, China, June 6, 2022 — Phoenix New Media Limited (“Phoenix New Media,” “ifeng” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FENG), a leading new media company in China, today announced that based upon a notice the Company received on June 2, 2022 from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the Company has regained compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standard for share prices.
On January 5, 2022, the NYSE notified the Company of its non-compliance with the NYSE’s price criteria for continued listing standard because, as of January 4, 2022, the average closing price of the Company’s American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) was less than US$1.00 per ADS over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. In order to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement, the Company changed the ratio of its ADSs to its Class A ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”), par value US$0.01 per share, from the previous ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to eight (8) Class A ordinary shares to the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to forty-eight (48) Class A ordinary shares, effective May 23, 2022.
On June 2, 2022, the Company received a confirmation from the NYSE that a calculation of the Company’s average ADS price for the 30-trading days ended May 31, 2022, indicated that the Company’s ADS price was above the NYSE’s minimum requirement of US$1.00 based on a 30-trading day average. Accordingly, the Company is no longer considered below the US$1.00 continued listing criterion. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance on this matter.
