This Form 8-K filing by The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN) is dated March 24, 2026. The report addresses a regulatory notice received from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC regarding the company's compliance with listing standards.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on the status of the company's stock listing.
Material Changes
The material event reported is the failure of the company's common stock to meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Specifically, the stock closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a notice under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Compliance Period: The company has been granted an initial 180-day compliance period, ending September 21, 2026, to regain compliance.
- Remediation Strategy: To regain compliance, the closing bid price must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days prior to the compliance date. If the price does not recover naturally, the company intends to propose a reverse stock split to stockholders at its 2026 annual meeting.
- Delisting Risk: If the company fails to regain compliance by the deadline and does not qualify for or fail a second 180-day compliance period, Nasdaq may delist the stock. The company notes it cannot ensure the success of any potential appeal against a delisting determination.
- Current Status: The notice has no immediate effect, and the stock continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "HAIN."
