- If the Company fails to maintain compliance with any listing requirement, the Nasdaq Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter.
- The Company will not be permitted to submit a plan of compliance for any new deficiencies arising during the monitor period.
- The Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time to regain compliance for any such deficiencies.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the closing bid price of VLCN remains above $1.00 per share to avoid immediate delisting triggers.
- Confirm the Company maintains shareholders' equity above $2.5 million and publicly held shares above 500,000 throughout the one-year monitoring period.
- Review the details of the capital offering completed on July 12, 2024, to understand the source of the equity increase.
- Monitor future filings for any new notices of non-compliance, as the Company has lost the ability to request extensions for new deficiencies during the monitor period.
