On February 14, 2017, Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that for 30 consecutive business days the Company's common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (“Rule”).
On July 21, 2017, the Company transferred the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), and as a result, the Company was afforded the remainder of the 180 day period, or until August 14, 2017, to regain compliance with the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement.
As of August 14, 2017, we were still not in compliance with the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement. However, Nasdaq has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until February 12, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Consistent with the Rule, Nasdaq provided the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:
|
if prior to February 12, 2018, the closing bid price of the Company's stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days; or |
|
if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date of February 12, 2018. |
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by February 12, 2018, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the determination to a Hearings Panel of Nasdaq.
