Business context and reporting period
Hyperfine, Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 6, 2022, and signed December 9, 2022. The filing reports a Nasdaq continued-listing deficiency concerning the company’s Class A common stock, traded under the symbol HYPR.
Financial and operating metrics
The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, liquidity, or other operating financial metrics.
Material change versus the prior comparable period
On December 6, 2022, Nasdaq notified Hyperfine that its closing bid price had remained below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. As a result, the company no longer satisfied Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.
The notice did not immediately suspend or delist the common stock. The shares continued trading on Nasdaq under HYPR.
Outlook, contingencies, and risks
- Hyperfine received an initial 180-calendar-day compliance period ending June 5, 2023.
- To regain compliance, the closing bid price must be at least $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days, subject to possible Nasdaq discretion to extend the measurement period.
- If the company does not regain compliance by June 5, 2023, it may qualify for an additional 180-calendar-day period by transferring its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market and satisfying applicable market value and other initial listing requirements.
- The company would also need to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency and pay an application fee for any such transfer.
- If Nasdaq determines that the deficiency cannot be cured, or if the company fails to regain compliance during any additional period, the common stock could become subject to delisting.
- Hyperfine could appeal a delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, but the filing states that success is not assured.
- Management stated that it intends to monitor the closing bid price and may consider available options, but provided no assurance that compliance will be regained or that any further extension will be granted.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Whether HYPR regained the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement by June 5, 2023.
- Whether Nasdaq granted an additional compliance period or required a market transfer.
- Any subsequent Nasdaq delisting notice, appeal, reverse stock split, or other capital-markets action.
- The company’s financial condition and liquidity, which are not disclosed in this filing.
