- If the plan is rejected or compliance is not achieved within the allowed timeframe, the company's common stock may be subject to delisting.
- The company retains the right to appeal a delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which would stay any suspension pending the conclusion of the hearing.
