Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (MTBC) for the reporting period ending June 30, 2016. The filing addresses a regulatory notice received from The Nasdaq Stock Market regarding the company's compliance with listing standards.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on stock listing compliance rather than financial performance metrics.
Material Changes
On June 24, 2016, the Company received a notice of noncompliance from Nasdaq under Listing Rule 5810(b). The closing bid price of MTBC's common stock fell below the minimum requirement of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. This status has no immediate effect on trading but places the company at risk of delisting if compliance is not restored.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has an initial 180-day period, until December 21, 2016, to regain compliance. This requires the closing bid price to meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days.
- Contingency Plan: If the initial threshold is not met, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. Qualification for this extension requires meeting the market value of publicly held shares requirement and other initial listing standards, potentially necessitating a reverse stock split.
- Risk of Delisting: Failure to regain compliance during the available periods could result in the delisting of the Company's common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
- Management Action: Management intends to monitor the stock price and may consider implementing available options, such as a reverse stock split, to regain compliance.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price of MTBC stock relative to the $1.00 threshold.
- Monitor the Company's progress toward the December 21, 2016, compliance deadline.
- Watch for announcements regarding a potential reverse stock split or other capital structure changes.
- Confirm whether the Company has filed for an additional 180-day compliance period if the initial deadline is missed.
