Material Changes and Listing Status
On August 11, 2022, Nasdaq notified the Company of non-compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to delays in filing the following reports:
- Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
- Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
- Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The Company previously received notifications on April 1, 2022, and May 12, 2022, regarding these delays. Nasdaq accepted a compliance plan submitted by the Company, granting an extension until September 27, 2022, to regain compliance. The Company must submit an update to this plan by August 26, 2022. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
The primary cause for the delayed filings is an ongoing review of the accounting treatment related to the Company's business combination with B&R Global Holdings, Inc. on November 4, 2019, in response to an SEC comment letter. The Company filed a Form 12b-25 on August 10, 2022, to notify the SEC of the Q2 2022 Form 10-Q delay.
Management intends to file the overdue reports and regain compliance as soon as practicable. Forward-looking statements in the filing are subject to risks, including the potential inability to file reports within the expected timeframe or regain compliance within the grace period.
