Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2023, Nutex Health Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “First Nasdaq Bid Price Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for thirty consecutive business days prior to the date of such letter, the bid price for the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Subsequently, on November 21, 2023, the Company was provided an additional 180 calendar day period, or until May 20, 2024, to regain compliance (the “Second Compliance Period”).
On May 21, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Staff stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Staff letter noted that unless the Company timely requests an appeal of this determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by May 28, 2024, the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on May 30, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
On May 23, 2024, the Company submitted a request for a hearing to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. Also on May 23, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that the delisting action has been stayed, pending a final decision by the Panel. A hearing has been scheduled for July 9, 2024. The Company intends to provide its written submission by the expedited review deadline of May 30, 2024. Based on such submission, the Panel may determine that an oral hearing is not necessary to grant the Company an exemption to gain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Previously, on April 24, 2024, the Company’s board of directors had approved a proposal to effect a reverse stock split in the range between 1-2 and 1-16, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders at its Annual Meeting scheduled for June 17, 2024. Assuming stockholder approval, the board intends to effect a reverse stock split as soon as practical thereafter with the goal of regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance within any extension period that may be granted by the Panel.
