AnPac Bio Granted Continued Listing by NASDAQ Hearing Panel, Subject to Meeting $1 Bid Price Compliance Rule On or Before Nov. 23, 2022

Philadelphia, PA, November 4, 2022 – AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. (“AnPac Bio,” the “Company” or “we”) (ANPC), a biotechnology company with operations in the United States and China focused on early cancer screening and detection, announced that on October 31, 2022, the Company has been notified by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s request for continued listing on The Capital Market has been granted, subject to the following:

On or before November 23, 2022, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the $1 Bid Price Rule. In order to fully comply with the terms of this exception, the Company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. In the event the Company is unable to do so, its securities may be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The decision was made by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel following a hearing held on October 20, 2022, during which the Company presented its plan (including share reverse split) to regain compliance with $1 Bid Rule. In the meantime, the Company will continue to be listed and its shares will continue to be traded on Nasdaq, pending a final written decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel after November 23, 2022.

On September 16, 2022, the Company filed a request for a hearing before the NASDAQ Hearings Panel to present its financial data including Shareholders’ Equity and plan with the applicable listing requirements. This request was due to a Staff determination letter (the “Letter”) on September 9, 2022 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market due to the Company’s failure to regain compliance with the $1 per share bid price requirement of Listed Securities required for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “$1 Bid Rule”), following the 180 calendar day compliance period set forth in Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period”). On September 16, 2022, Company received a letter from Nasdaq granting the appeal and scheduling the Nasdaq Hearings Panel for October 20, 2022.

On September 9, 2022, the Company received a Staff determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market due to its failure to regain compliance with the $1 Bid Rule within the 180-calendar day Compliance Period. Earlier, on March 8, 2022, Nasdaq staff notified the Company that the bid price of its listed security had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with the $1 Bid Rule. In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 5, 2022, to regain compliance with the $1 Bid Rule. Since then, the Company had not regained compliance with the $1 Bid Rule, and Nasdaq staff believed that the Company was not eligible for a second 180-day Compliance Period because Nasdaq staff believed that the Company had not demonstrated compliance with the minimum $5,000,000 Shareholders’ Equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq had written to the Company earlier that if Company had a Shareholders’ Equity above $5,000,000, it might obtain another 180-day period.

AnPac Bio Appeals NASDAQ Delisting Notice; Hearing Granted and Scheduled for October 20, 2022

Philadelphia, PA, September 19, 2022 – AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. (“AnPac Bio,” the “Company” or “we”) (ANPC), a biotechnology company with operations in the United States and China focused on early cancer screening and detection, announced that on September 16, 2022, the Company filed a request for a hearing before the NASDAQ Hearings Panel to present its financial data including Shareholders’ Equity and plan with the applicable listing requirements.  This request was due to a Staff determination letter (the “Letter”) on Septembe­r 9, 2022 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market  LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market due to the Company’s failure to regain compliance with the $1 per share bid price requirement of Listed Securities required for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “$1 Bid Rule”), following the 180 calendar day compliance period set forth in Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period”). On September 16, 2022, Company received a letter from Nasdaq granting the appeal and scheduling the Nasdaq Hearings Panel for October 20, 2022.  In the meantime, the Company will continue to be listed and its shares will continue to be traded on Nasdaq, pending a final written decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel after the October 20, 2022 hearing.

On September 9, 2022, the Company received a Staff determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market  LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market due to its failure to regain compliance with the $1 Bid Rule within the 180 calendar day Compliance Period.  Earlier, on March 8, 2022, Nasdaq staff notified the Company that the bid price of its listed security had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with the $1 Bid Rule.  In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 5, 2022, to regain compliance with the $1 Bid Rule.  Since then, the Company has not regained compliance with the $1 Bid Rule, and Nasdaq staff believes that the Company is not eligible for a second 180 day Compliance Period because Nasdaq staff believes that the Company has not demonstrated compliance with the minimum $5,000,000 Shareholders’ Equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market.  Nasdaq had written to the Company earlier that if Company has a Shareholders’ Equity above $5,000,000, it may obtain another 180 day period.

At the October 20, 2022 hearing, the Company intends to present its financial data including Shareholders’ Equity and its plan (including share reverse split) to regain compliance with $1 Bid Rule to seek a second 180 day period. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting or continued listing, even if the Company’s financial data evidences sufficient Shareholders’ Equity.

(“AnPac Bio,” the “Company” or “we”) (ANPC), a biotechnology company with operations in the United States and China focused on early cancer screening and detection, announced that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)  notified the Company on June 9, 2022 that Nasdaq has determined the Company has regained compliance with the requirements to remain listed in The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by a hearing panel’s decision dated May 4, 2022, subject to a one-year Mandatory Panel Monitor of the Company’s ongoing compliance with such requirements.

On May 31, 2022, the Company filed a Form 6-K (the “Filing”) with the SEC, including unaudited financial statements, and referencing the receipt of proceeds from the sale of the Company’s ordinary shares to certain investors in May 2022.

In addition, the Company represented in the Filing that it complies with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of the report date. Accordingly, the Company complied with the terms of the panel’s decision dated May 4, 2022.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from June 9, 2022. If, within that one-year monitoring period, Listing Qualifications staff (“Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the requirement that was the subject of the exception, notwithstanding Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, Staff will issue a Staff Delist Determination and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Hearings Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Hearings Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C).
