Information Contained in this Form 6-K Report

 

This current report on 6-k is being filed to disclose that JBDI Holdings Limited (the “Company”) has now elected to rely on the home country rule exemption under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) with respect to the following matters.

 

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands that is listed on Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the Company is subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Under Nasdaq rules, a foreign private issuer may, in general, follow its home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Pursuant to the home country rule exemption set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), which provides (with certain exceptions not relevant to the conclusions expressed herein) that a foreign private issuer may follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules 5600 Series, the Company has elected to be exempt from the requirements as follows:

 

(i) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 which sets forth (A) the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities in connection with: (a) the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, (b) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants, (c) a change of control, and (d) transactions other than public offerings; (B) general provisions relating to shareholder approval; and (C) the financial viability exception to the shareholder approval requirement.

 

Harney Westwood & Riegels, the Company’s Cayman Islands counsel, has provided a letter to the Nasdaq Stock Market certifying that under Cayman Islands law, the Company is not required to comply with above-mentioned requirements.

 

Except for the foregoing, there is no significant difference between the Company’s corporate governance practices and what the Nasdaq requires of domestic U.S. companies.
