Anghami ReCEIVES a DELIST determination letter

30 October, 2023, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) - On October 24, 2023, Anghami Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGH) (the "Company" or "Anghami") received a determination letter (the "Letter") from the Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC stating that it has not regained compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires companies to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50 million for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.

The Letter states that unless the Company requests a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"), trading in the Company's stock on The NASDAQ Global Market will be suspended at the opening of business on November 2, 2023. The Company has until October 31, 2023, to request a hearing.


It is noted that Anghami's continued listing on Nasdaq remains a key priority. Accordingly, the Company intends to request in a timely manner a hearing before the Panel, at which it will seek continued listing pending its return to compliance with the listing requirements on either The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Anghami's hearing request will stay the suspension of trading and delisting of the Company's ordinary shares pending the conclusion of the hearing process. Consequently, the Company's ordinary shares will remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market at least until the Panel renders a decision following the hearing. Alternatively, in the event that the Panel determines that continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market is not warranted, the Company may seek to transfer the listing of its ordinary shares to The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market or a transfer of its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
