DocumentSelectQuote, Inc. Cures Stock Price Deficiency; Regains Compliance with NYSE Continued Listing Standards
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., March 2, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) (the “Company”) announced today that it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange on March 1, 2023 that the Company has regained compliance with the Exchange’s minimum stock price requirement.
The Company previously received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange on October 20, 2022 indicating the Company was no longer in compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards, as the average share price of the Company’s common stock over a consecutive 30 trading-day period had fallen below $1.00. As of February 28, 2023, the share price and 30 trading-day average share price of the Company’s common stock had risen above $1.00, curing the stock price deficiency.
In light of this development, the Company has no immediate plans to effect a reverse stock split; however, the Company will still seek approval of the reverse stock split proposal currently pending before the Company’s stockholders to afford the Board of Directors the ability to effect a reverse split in the future if it determines doing so would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company still intends to hold the special stockholder meeting scheduled for 9:00 AM CT on Thursday, March 2, 2023.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in connection with the reverse stock split proposal to be submitted to the Company’s stockholders at its special meeting on March 2, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”). As detailed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 18, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Reverse Stock Split proposal seeks to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a future date if the Board determines the reverse stock split to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. This press release does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Reverse Split Proposal and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Reverse Split Proposal. Stockholders and other interested persons are urged to read the Proxy Statement and all other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as such documents contain important information about the Company and the Reverse Split Proposal. The Proxy Statement and other relevant documents are available free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov, or via the Company’s website, www.selectquote.com.
