Material Changes
- Stock Price Deficiency: The Company's common stock closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days prior to March 26, 2026, violating Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
- Listing Status: The stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "CNET" with no immediate effect from the deficiency letter.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days (until September 22, 2026) to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 10 consecutive business days.
- Remediation Options: If the initial period is unsuccessful, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing standards (e.g., market value of publicly held shares) and potentially effects a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance by September 22, 2026, may result in a notice of delisting. The Company may appeal such a determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
- Management Stance: Management intends to actively monitor the bid price and evaluate options to resolve the deficiency but explicitly states there is no assurance that compliance will be regained or maintained.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price of CNET stock to assess proximity to the $1.00 threshold.
- Monitor the Company's stock price performance over the next 10 consecutive business days to determine if the initial compliance window is met.
- Review future filings for announcements regarding a potential reverse stock split if the initial compliance period expires without success.
- Check for any subsequent Nasdaq correspondence regarding the Company's eligibility for a second compliance period.
