Material Changes and Listing Status
On December 2, 2019, the Company received notice from Nasdaq regarding non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares fell below the required minimum of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Compliance Period: The Company has been granted an initial 180-day period, ending June 1, 2020, to regain compliance. Compliance can be achieved if the closing bid price remains at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days.
Remediation Strategy: Management intends to actively monitor the bid price and consider available options, including a reverse stock split, to resolve the deficiency.
Delisting Risk: If compliance is not met by June 1, 2020, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period, provided it meets other listing standards (such as market value of publicly held shares). Failure to cure the deficiency could result in delisting, subject to appeal.
Uncertainty: The Company explicitly states there can be no assurance that it will regain compliance or maintain other listing requirements.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price of OXBR to determine if the 10-day compliance threshold has been met.
- Monitor for any announcements regarding a reverse stock split or other capital structure changes.
- Review the Company's cash position relative to its operating expenses to assess liquidity sustainability.
- Check for any subsequent Nasdaq correspondence regarding the extension of the compliance period or delisting notices.
