Published

on

HONG KONG, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lingnan University participated in the Times Higher Education’s Digital Universities Asia 2024 conference, held from 1 to 3 July in Bali, Indonesia, where Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science of Lingnan University, delivered a keynote talk and took part in a roundtable discussion, contributing valuable insights to this prestigious annual event. This year, the conference focused on transforming academic institutions into more accessible and inclusive environments, and pointed out the current groundbreaking innovations at the intersection of academic progress and technological advancement. The conference is an important platform where leaders in higher education, industry, and policy exchange ideas on leveraging cutting-edge digital tools and technologies.

President Qin, who is a world-famous data scientist, delivered a keynote address titled “Reimagining Higher Education in the Age of AI”, delving into the profound impact of the digital revolution on higher education. He addressed critical issues such as curriculum transformation, the relevance of AI to a well-rounded education in the arts and sciences, the potential obsolescence of traditional education models, and strategies to enhance students’ critical thinking skills in the era of generative AI.

He also stressed how the rapid development of generative AI and large language models has sparked a new wave of intellectual innovation, saying “The application of AI has increased productivity across various industries and improved the efficiency of teaching and learning. In today’s digital era, we are all exposed to new media and encounter new experiences. Whether receiving news or shopping, we cannot escape AI and digitally generated recommendations. In the process of cognition and communication for work and life, we either receive or produce content generated with the help of AI. Therefore, higher education institutions are faced with the decision of whether to embrace it or prohibit it. As an institution that cultivates the next generation of talents, Lingnan University has decided to embrace the digital transformation through reforming the design of disciplines. Disruptive technology may replace existing professions but also create new positions. Balancing skills training and promoting students’ whole-person development is crucial.”

After President Qin’s speech, a roundtable discussion titled “Building a Future-Ready Institution: Leveraging Technology to Transform Higher Education” was held in partnership with Lingnan University. President Qin of Lingnan University; Prof Stephen Park Yong-seung, Professor of Industrial Relations and Human Resources and Director of the Institute for Peace through Commerce of the Kyung Hee University School of Management; and Prof Shoichiro Iwakiri, President of International Christian University, explored the strategies, opportunities, and challenges of using technology to drive digital transformation in higher education. The exchange of views concentrated on how Asia’s higher education sector can harness the power of AI and innovative technologies to create an inclusive and empowering environment for learning and knowledge exchange.

The discussion centred on experiences, insights and alternative methods, and how universities are navigating the digital landscape to revolutionise teaching, learning and administrative processes. The university leaders also exchanged examples of best practices, successful case studies, and pioneering approaches to prepare students for future workforce demands, making sure their institutions are ready to equip students for evolving global challenges and opportunities.

President Qin noted that Lingnan University offers a comprehensive arts and sciences programme, addressing impactful research and innovation in the digital era. He said “We are implementing a distinctive teaching model at Lingnan University, including making generative AI a core course for all first-year students in the 2024/25 academic year. The recently established School of Data Science has elevated the existing Bachelor of Science in Data Science programme to school level, making it easier for students from the Faculties of Arts, Business, and Social Sciences, the School of Graduate Studies, and the School of Interdisciplinary Studies to acquire cross-disciplinary learning. Our aim is to equip students with AI literacy and critical thinking skills, publish influential and experimental research, and help them stand out in the era of innovation and technology.”

Lingnan University will be the key host of Digital Universities Asia 2025, which will take place on their main campus in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong on 8 and 9 July 2025.

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

on

By

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.

Resolution to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on directed issue of Series C shares

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to, until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on a new issue of no more than 7,280,000 Series C shares to be subscribed for by a bank or securities company at a subscription price corresponding to the quota value.

The purpose is to secure delivery of shares to participants under the Company’s outstanding incentive programs and payment of related social security charges. The Series C shares will be reclassified into ordinary shares before transfer to participants.
