- Contingency Plan: If the company fails to regain compliance within the initial 180 days, it may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, provided it meets other listing standards and notifies Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency, potentially by effecting a reverse stock split.
- Risk: Failure to regain compliance within the allowed periods could result in delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
