The notice stated that there was hope for a solution under future US President Donald Trump.
The deadline for the China-based Tiktok owner Bytedance to withdraw from the app under US law expires on Sunday.
Trump is offering Tiktok the prospect of a three-month reprieve from the impending shutdown in the US. This is the most likely course of action, Trump told TV station NBC on Saturday. "If I decide to do that, I will announce it on Monday."
The video app claims to have more than 170 million users in the US. Trump will be sworn in as the next US president on Monday.
