Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On June 21, 2019, NASDAQ notified the company that the bid price of its listed securities had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the company was provided 180 calendar days, or until December 18, 2019, to regain compliance with the Rule.
Subsequently, on December 19, 2019, the company was provided an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, or until June 15, 2020, to demonstrate compliance. However, on April 16, 2020, given the extraordinary market conditions, NASDAQ had determined to toll the compliance periods for bid price and market value of publicly held shares requirements through June 30, 2020.1 Accordingly, the company was provided until August 31, 2020 to regain compliance.
The company did not regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by August 31, 2020. Accordingly, its securities will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market. The company’s common stock will begin trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on a split-adjusted basis on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.
The company intends to appeal of the determination made by NASDAQ to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. A hearing request will stay the suspension of the company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision.
