Financial condition and key metrics
The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, or other financial metrics.
Material changes versus the prior comparable period
- On April 9, 2024, Nasdaq granted the company an additional 180-day period, through October 7, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
- The company’s Class A common stock was transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective March 13, 2024, enabling the company to seek the additional compliance period.
- The current extension follows an initial deficiency notice dated October 12, 2023, which provided a compliance period ending April 9, 2024.
Outlook, contingencies, and unusual items
- Compliance will be demonstrated if the Class A common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days before October 7, 2024.
- The company stated that it intends to cure the deficiency during the extended period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, and may seek stockholder approval for one or more reverse stock splits.
- If compliance is not regained, Nasdaq may issue a delisting determination. The company could appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and a timely hearing request would stay suspension or delisting pending the Panel’s decision.
- The extension does not currently affect trading, and the Class A common stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under BETR.
- The company cautioned that there is no assurance it will maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements; failure to satisfy those requirements could also result in delisting.
