Material Changes
On February 29, 2024, Gevo received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company's common stock has traded below $1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days. There is no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the stock.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days, until August 27, 2024, to regain compliance. To do so, the minimum bid price must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this grace period.
- Secondary Compliance Option: If the Company fails to regain compliance by August 27, 2024, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day period. Qualification requires meeting all other initial listing standards (excluding the bid price) and providing written notice of intent to cure the deficiency, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: If the Company does not qualify for or fail to regain compliance during the second period, Nasdaq will determine to delist the Common Stock. The Company retains the right to appeal this determination to a hearings panel.
- Management Intent: Management intends to actively monitor the bid price and may consider available options to regain compliance, though there is no assurance of success.
