HeadHunter Updates on its Appeal of the Delisting Determination by Nasdaq HeadHunter Group PLC provided an update on the status of its appeal against the determination of the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’) to delist the Company's American Depositary Shares, each representing one ordinary share of the Company (the ‘ADSs’), from Nasdaq. As disclosed in the company’s press releases as of March 20, 2023 and March 22, 2023, the Listing Qualifications Staff notified the company of its determination to delist the Company's ADSs from Nasdaq in reliance on its discretionary authority under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101. The Company filed a request for a hearing to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the ‘Hearings Panel’) to appeal the delisting determination, which took place on April 27, 2023. On June 6, 2023, the company received the Hearings Panel's written decision (the ‘Final Delisting Decision’), pursuant to which the Hearings Panel upheld the delisting determination. The Company does not intend to request that the Final Delisting Decision be reviewed by the Hearings Panel's appeal body, as it would not be feasible to disentangle the Company's operations from Russia to the extent required for addressing the concerns raised by the Hearings Panel. Nasdaq announced a trading halt in the Company's ADSs on February 28, 2022. Following the Final Delisting Decision, trading in the company’s ADSs on Nasdaq was suspended on June 8, 2023, and the company’s ADSs will be delisted from Nasdaq. Following the delisting from Nasdaq, the Company will continue to adhere to its reporting obligations as long as the Company's ADSs are registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The trading of the Company's ADSs on the Moscow Exchange is unaffected and continues as usual. The Company is also considering several strategic alternatives which may be carried out following the delisting, potentially including providing liquidity to Company's shareholders, redomiciling or restructuring the Company by moving its corporate governance to Russia, with the Moscow Exchange remaining the primary trading market for the Company's shares. To date, the Company has not made any definitive plans. The Final Delisting Decision does not impact HeadHunter's business operations or financial position, and the company remain focused on maintaining business growth. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is directly subject to any sanctions imposed by authorities of the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union or other countries.
