Financial and Operating Metrics
This filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, or other operating and financial metrics.
Material Change Versus Prior Period
On October 26, 2023, Nasdaq notified the company that its common stock had failed to satisfy the $1.00 minimum closing bid-price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), based on 30 consecutive business days below the threshold.
- The notice had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of HTCR.
- The company received 180 calendar days, through April 23, 2024, to regain compliance.
- Compliance may be restored if the closing bid price is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, subject to Nasdaq’s confirmation.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
The company stated that it is monitoring its closing bid price and evaluating alternatives to resolve the deficiency. No specific response has been approved. If eligible, the company may seek an additional 180-day compliance period by providing written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency through a reverse stock split, if necessary.
There is no assurance that the company will regain compliance, even if it satisfies other Nasdaq listing requirements. Failure to regain compliance could ultimately place the company’s Nasdaq listing at risk.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Whether HTCR regained compliance by April 23, 2024 or obtained an additional compliance period.
- Whether Nasdaq required or approved any reverse stock split or other corrective action.
- The company’s current bid price and continued satisfaction of Nasdaq’s other listing standards.
- Any subsequent filing describing delisting proceedings, a compliance determination, or changes to the company’s capital structure.
