Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by SenesTech, Inc. on January 5, 2018, regarding an event that occurred on January 3, 2018. The Company is incorporated in Delaware and is headquartered in Flagstaff, Arizona. It is classified as an emerging growth company.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The only financial metric disclosed is the trading price of the Company's common stock, which closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days prior to January 3, 2018.
Material Changes
The primary material event is the notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) that the Company's common stock no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This deficiency is due to the stock price closing below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has an initial 180-calendar-day period, ending July 2, 2018, to regain compliance.
- Compliance Requirement: To regain compliance, the closing bid price must be $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before July 2, 2018.
- Secondary Compliance Option: If the initial period is unsuccessful, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period. This requires meeting the market value of publicly held shares and other initial listing standards, potentially necessitating a reverse stock split.
- Risks: There is no assurance the Company will regain compliance. Failure to do so could result in delisting. The Company may appeal a delisting determination, but approval is not guaranteed.
- Management Action: Management intends to actively monitor the bid price and market value and will consider available options to achieve compliance.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current trading price of SenesTech common stock to assess progress toward the $1.00 minimum bid price.
- Monitor the Company's announcements regarding the potential implementation of a reverse stock split if the initial compliance period expires without success.
- Check for any subsequent correspondence from NASDAQ regarding the Company's eligibility for a second compliance period or potential delisting.
- Review the Company's market value of publicly held shares to determine if it meets the requirements for the secondary compliance period.
