Market Challenges

Online auctions have gained significant popularity, but the issue of shill bidding remains a concern. Shill bidding is an unlawful practice where a seller or their associates artificially inflate bids in forward auctions or reduce them in reverse auctions. Detecting shill bidding in a large number of online auctions and bidders is challenging. Shill bidding can create a false sense of demand, making buyers pay more than the product’s actual value. Genuine bidders may lose trust in the online auction process due to shill bidding. Despite being recognized as a problem, there is no established method to prevent it. Most online auction companies lack the resources to detect shill bidding in real-time. Without formal complaints from bidders, these companies seldom take action against shill bidding. The rise in shill bidding instances may discourage bidders, potentially hindering the growth of the global online auction market.Online auctions have gained significant traction in the e-commerce industry, offering collectibles, electronics, artistic goods, jewelry, digital assets, paintings, antique goods, and more to bidders worldwide. However, challenges persist. Payment options must be diverse and secure, accommodating various credit card numbers, home addresses, and phone numbers. Smartphone penetration drives convenience, but digitalization requires ethical sourcing of eco-friendly materials and ethical practices. Affordability is crucial, with accessibility contingent on internet access. Collectability thrives on enhanced viewing experiences, including AR and VR. Auctioneers and sellers must navigate pricing, data collection, automation, and personalization while addressing security concerns, such as fraud prevention and anti-money laundering. Online platforms must cater to younger audiences, offering seamless experiences and addressing privacy concerns. The integration of AI in online auctions streamlines processes, ensuring a transparent and efficient marketplace.

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.

KISTA, Sweden, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Extraordinary General Meeting in Sivers Semiconductors AB (the “Company”) was held on 22 October 2026 and in particular the following resolutions were resolved.

Election of auditor

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved, in accordance with the Nomination Committee’s proposal, to terminate the assignment of the Company’s auditor Deloitte AB and to elect Ernst & Young AB as new auditor for the period until the close of the next Annual General Meeting.

Resolution on a long-term incentive program

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to introduce a long-term incentive program (the “P11”) for employees of the group in the United States, Scotland, Sweden, India and China.

P11 comprises a maximum of 7,280,000 stock options entitling to purchase of the same number of shares, corresponding to approximately 2.0 per cent of the shares and votes in the Company after dilution. The stock options are granted free of charge, are not subject to any performance conditions, and may not be transferred or pledged. Each vested stock option entitles the employee to acquire one ordinary share between the third and the sixth anniversary of the date of grant, at a price corresponding to 110 per cent of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s share on Nasdaq Stockholm during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant.

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.

Resolution to authorise the Board of Directors to resolve on repurchase of Series C shares and transfer of ordinary shares to secure payment of social security charges

The Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to authorise the Board of Directors to, until the next Annual General Meeting, resolve on repurchases of all outstanding Series C shares, at a price corresponding to the quota value.

The Board of Directors was further authorised to, until the next Annual General Meeting, transfer own ordinary shares on Nasdaq Stockholm within the applicable price range, or outside Nasdaq Stockholm to a bank or securities company with deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights at such market discount as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, to the extent required to secure payment of social security charges related to the Company’s outstanding incentive programs.
