HOBOKEN, N.J., Sept. 29, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liquid Holdings Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIQD), a SaaS provider of investment management solutions for the buy side, announced today that the Company has requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to address the September 21, 2015 determination of the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) to delist the Company’s securities based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with NASDAQ’s requirement to timely file periodic reports with the SEC. The Company’s request for a hearing before the Panel automatically stayed the suspension of trading in the Company’s securities on NASDAQ through October 13, 2015, by which date the Panel will notify the Company if the Company’s request for a further stay of suspension beyond October 13, 2015 has been granted pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process.

If the stay is granted by the Panel, the Company’s common shares will remain listed on NASDAQ pending the hearing and the expiration of an extension, if any, granted by the Panel following the hearing. If a further stay is not granted, trading in the Company’s securities would be suspended on NASDAQ pending the conclusion of the hearing process, although the Company believes its securities would be eligible to trade in the OTC Markets’ OTC Pink “Limited Information” tier during that time. Whether or not a further extension is granted by the Panel, there can be no assurance that the Panel will ultimately grant the Company’s request for continued listing on NASDAQ.
