Item 3.01     Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company received a deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that for the last 30 consecutive business days the Company had not met The Nasdaq Global Market’s (the “Global Market”) continued listing standard requiring $15 million minimum market value of publicly held shares, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C). As provided in the Nasdaq rules, the Company has 180 calendar days, or until June 26, 2019, to regain compliance with the continued listing standard. In order to regain compliance, the Company’s market value of publicly held shares must be $15 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time prior to June 26, 2019. If the Company regains compliance, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation to the Company and close the matter. Based on the number of publicly held shares on the date of this filing, in order to satisfy the $15 million market value requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock would need to be at least $1.89 per share for ten consecutive business days.

 

If the Company fails to regain compliance during this period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from the Global Market. In such event, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer the Company’s securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Capital Market”), subject to certain conditions including meeting the Capital Market’s continued listing requirements. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market or on the trading of the Company’s common stock.
