ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On August 15, 2019, ADTRAN, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that, because the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 10-Q (as extended to Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to regain compliance.
The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q with the SEC within the above referenced 60 calendar day period and thereby regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, eliminating the need for the Company to submit a formal plan to regain compliance.
On August 21, 2019, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
