MDJM LTD Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Suspension Determination and Plans to Request a Hearing before an Independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel

LETHAM, Scotland, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MDJM LTD (Nasdaq: UOKA) (the "Company"), an integrated global culture innovation company, today announced that the Company received a staff determination letter (the "Letter"), on March 13, 2026, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that, as the Company's securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive business days, its securities would be suspended effective with the open of trading on March 20, 2026. Because the Company effected a 1 for 25 reverse stock split on May 20, 2025,the Company is also subject to the provisions set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) and Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv). In addition, following the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel's decision dated November 19, 2025, the Company is subject to a Discretionary Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A) for a period of one year.

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). Notwithstanding, given that the Company traded below $0.10 for 10 consecutive business days, the hearing request will not stay the suspension of the Company's securities. During the pendency of the hearing, the Company expects that its securities will be eligible to be traded on the OTC Markets under the same ticker symbol "UOKA." There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing or otherwise provide relief from the suspension determination, and the ultimate outcome of the hearing process remains uncertain.

The Company is currently considering all options available to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements and return to good standing on Nasdaq, including a reverse stock split, which became effective on March 16, 2026, and will provide its shareholders with any material updates when they are available.
