Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notice
On October 16, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Minimum Bid Price Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Minimum Bid Price Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock, and the Common Stock will continue to trade The Nasdaq Capital Market.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 14, 2025, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which requires that the closing bid price of the Common Stock meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.
If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Common Stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.
The Company will continue to monitor the bid price of the Common Stock and consider its available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
