Jeffs' Brands Receives NASDAQ Minimum Bid Price Requirement Extension
No Immediate Effect on Nasdaq Listing or Trading of the Company's Ordinary Shares
Tel Aviv, Israel, Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jeffs' Brands Ltd ("Jeffs' Brands" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:JFBR, JFBRW))), a data-driven e-commerce company operating on the Amazon Marketplace, announced today that on October 23, 2024, it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that it is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until April 21, 2025, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1 bid price per share requirement.
The Company was first notified by Nasdaq of its failure to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share for 30 consecutive trading days under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) on April 25, 2024, and was given until October 22, 2024 to regain compliance. The Company did not regain compliance with the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement during the first 180-calendar-day compliance period and submitted a written request to the Nasdaq's staff to afford it an additional 180-day compliance period to cure the deficiency.
Nasdaq's determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period and if necessary, by effecting a reverse share split.
If at any time before April 21, 2025, the bid price of the Company's ordinary shares closes at or above $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company will regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and the matter will be closed. However, Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require the Company's ordinary shares to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance.
This current notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "JFBR."
