Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Compliance Timeline:
- The company has 45 calendar days (until June 7, 2021) to submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq.
- If the plan is accepted, an extension of up to 180 calendar days (until October 18, 2021) may be granted to evidence compliance.
- There is no assurance that the compliance plan will be accepted by Nasdaq staff.
- Even if accepted, there is no assurance the company will timely satisfy the extension terms.
- Failure to regain compliance will result in the delisting of common stock.
- In the event of delisting, the company may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which would stay the delisting action pending the hearing's conclusion.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's current stockholders' equity against the $2.5 million Nasdaq threshold.
- Monitor the submission of the compliance plan by the June 7, 2021 deadline.
- Review the company's strategy to raise equity or meet alternative listing standards.
- Check for any subsequent announcements regarding the acceptance or rejection of the compliance plan by Nasdaq.
