Material Changes
- Listing Transfer Approved: Nasdaq approved the transfer of MIND's common and preferred stock from The Nasdaq Global Select Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, effective January 26, 2023.
- Compliance Deficiency: The transfer was necessitated by the Company's failure to maintain the minimum $1.00 per share bid price required for the Global Select Market since July 27, 2022.
- Extended Compliance Period: The Company received an additional 180-day compliance period, extending until July 24, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to carefully assess potential actions to regain compliance with the bid price requirement, including the possibility of effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. The Company has provided written notice of this intention to Nasdaq.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Delisting Risk: If the Company fails to regain compliance by July 24, 2023, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock will be delisted.
- Appeal Uncertainty: While the Company may appeal a delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, there is no assurance that such an appeal would be successful.
- Compliance Uncertainty: There is no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the bid price requirement during the additional 180-day period.
Investor Verification Checklist
