Sonder Holdings Inc. Receives Notification of Deficiency from Nasdaq Related to Delayed Filing of Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonder Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SOND) ("Sonder" or the "Company") today announced that it received an expected deficiency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on November 20, 2024 (the "Notice"). The Notice indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule") as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024 (the "Q3 Form 10-Q"), as described more fully in the Company's Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the "Form 12b-25") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 14, 2024. The Listing Rule requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC.
In accordance with Nasdaq's listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. Following receipt of such plan, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the Q3 Form 10-Q's due date, or until May 19, 2025, for the Company to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq and take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing rules as soon as practicable.
As previously disclosed, the filing of the Q3 Form 10-Q was delayed due to the matters described in the Form 12b-25, including to allow the Company sufficient time to complete its customary accounting and internal control processes and procedures. While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company will continue to work diligently to complete and file the Q3 Form 10-Q as soon as practicable. The Nasdaq also provided the Company with an amended compliance letter that does not include a requirement that it be subject to a Panel Monitor.
