- Requirements: To regain compliance, the closing bid price must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date.
- Remedial Actions: The Company intends to monitor the stock price and may take reasonable measures, including potentially effecting a reverse stock split, to regain compliance.
- Delisting Risk: If the Company fails to regain compliance by the Compliance Date, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing standards (e.g., market value of publicly held shares). Failure to cure the deficiency could lead to delisting.
- Appeals: If delisting is notified, the Company may appeal to a hearings panel, though there is no assurance of success.
