Material changes versus the prior comparable period
- On November 9, 2022, Nasdaq notified the company that its common stock had closed below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, violating Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3).
- The initial 180-day compliance period was scheduled to expire on May 8, 2023.
- On May 9, 2023, Nasdaq granted the company an additional 180-day compliance period through November 3, 2023.
Outlook, risks, contingencies, and unusual items
- The company can regain compliance if its closing bid price reaches at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days before November 3, 2023.
- If compliance is not regained during the additional period, the company expects to need a reverse stock split to address the bid-price deficiency.
- At the April 26, 2023 annual meeting, stockholders approved authority for the board to implement a reverse stock split between 1-for-2 and 1-for-4 shares.
- If Nasdaq issues a delisting determination, the company may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The filing states there can be no assurance that the company will regain compliance or satisfy other Nasdaq listing requirements.
- The deficiency notice had no immediate effect on the Nasdaq listing; the common stock continued trading under the symbol IPW.
Investor verification points
- Verify whether IPW regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid-price requirement by November 3, 2023.
