Material Changes
The Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)), which mandates a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. This deficiency was determined based on the closing bid price for the 30 consecutive business days from August 19 through September 30, 2025. There is no immediate effect on the listing; trading continues uninterrupted.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days, until March 30, 2026, to regain compliance.
- Regaining Compliance: Compliance is achieved if the closing bid price is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the Compliance Period.
- Delisting Risk: If compliance is not met by March 30, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period. Failure to qualify for or meet the requirements of the second period will result in a delisting determination, subject to appeal.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of CBAT to assess the likelihood of meeting the $1.00 threshold within the 180-day window.
- Monitor for any subsequent filings regarding a reverse stock split or other corporate actions intended to address the bid price deficiency.
- Review the Company's liquidity position in upcoming 10-Q or 10-K filings to understand if financial distress is contributing to the low stock price.
- Confirm the exact date of the 10 consecutive business days required for compliance if the price rises above $1.00.
