Regained Filing Compliance: On the same date, Nasdaq confirmed the Company has regained compliance with periodic filing requirements (Rule 5250(c)(1)) following the submission of its 2024 10-K and Q2 2024 10-Q, closing a deficiency previously disclosed in June and July 2024.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Compliance Plan Deadline: The Company must submit a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance to Nasdaq by November 4, 2024.
Extension Possibility: If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days to evidence compliance.
Appeal Rights: If the plan is rejected, the Company may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which would stay the suspension and delisting pending a decision.
Risks: Management states there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) or meet continued listing requirements during any granted compliance period.
