SINGAPORE, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Currenc Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CURR) ("Currenc" or the "Company"), a fintech pioneer empowering financial institutions worldwide with artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, today announced that on January 12, 2026, the Company received a notification letter (the "Nasdaq Annual Meeting Deficiency Letter") from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") stating that because the Company has not yet held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve (12) months of the Company's fiscal year end, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5620(a) and 5810(c)(2)(G), as well as IM-5620. The Company disclosed the Nasdaq Annual Meeting Deficiency Letter on January 13, 2026. The Nasdaq Annual Meeting Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq stock market.

The Company has forty-five (45) calendar days from January 12, 2026 to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company expects to consult with Nasdaq regarding whether holding its annual meeting, currently scheduled for February 25, 2026 (the "EGM"), will restore compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5620(a) and 5810(c)(2)(G), as well as IM-5620, or whether Nasdaq will require any additional action. If Nasdaq does accept the Company's proposed plan and meeting date for the EGM, then Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 29, 2026, to regain compliance.
