JAKKS PACIFIC INC - Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by JAKKS Pacific, Inc. on September 11, 2020. The report addresses a regulatory notice received from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC regarding the Company's compliance with continued listing standards.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The primary financial metric disclosed is the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS), which fell below the required threshold of $15,000,000 for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the report date.
Material Changes
The material change reported is the failure to maintain the minimum MVPHS of $15,000,000 required by Nasdaq. This deficiency triggered a formal notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff, though it does not immediately affect the trading status of the Company's common stock.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Compliance Period: The Company has been granted a compliance period until March 10, 2021, to cure the deficiency.
- Remediation Path: To regain compliance, the Company's MVPHS must close at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- Trading Status: Common shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "JAKK" during this period.
- Risk: Failure to meet the criteria by the deadline could result in delisting.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS) to assess progress toward the $15,000,000 threshold.
- Monitor the stock price and trading volume to determine if the ten-day consecutive closing requirement can be met before March 10, 2021.
- Review subsequent filings for any updates on the Company's plan to address the listing deficiency.
