Collective Audience Receives Additional Nasdaq Notification Regarding Continued Listing Requirements
NEW YORK, May 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Collective Audience, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAUD) has received an additional notification from the listing qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Similar to the previous notifications announced on April 25, the new notification has no immediate effect on the continued listing of the company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
In the new notification, Nasdaq indicated that the company is not in compliance with the continued listing requirements regarding the timely filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The company has until June 24, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance. However, the company anticipates it will file the Form 10-Q ahead of the June deadline.
"Like with the delay in our Form 10-K for 2023, the delay in filing our 10-Q for the first quarter of this year is due to the lengthy de-SPAC transaction we completed at the end of last year and the additional time we need to complete the related accounting," commented Collective Audience CEO, Peter Bordes. "Our objective is to use this time to set the company on a solid reporting foundation going forward, and we appreciate the additional time Nasdaq has allowed to complete this process and to regain compliance."
"As we've worked to complete this accounting process, we have also continued to advance the deployment of our IP, refocused specifically on audience-based performance advertising and media," continued Bordes. "This has included the official launch of our innovative and groundbreaking AdTech platform, AudienceDesk™ powered by AudienceCloud™."
The company also announced valuable new additions to our board, two new major partnerships, and two significantly accretive acquisitions which the company is working to close over the coming weeks.
"Despite these reporting delays, our continued progress along these fronts supports our confidence in our plans for growth and market expansion," added Bordes, "and that we have the right foundation in place to regain Nasdaq compliance and continue to build shareholder value over the long term."
