Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 16, 2024, Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received approval from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Approval”). The Company’s common stock was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market effective as of the open of business on January 18, 2024, and will continue to trade under the symbol “OMIC.” The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
As previously disclosed, on July 17, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) because the closing bid price per share for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In response, the Company filed an application to transfer the listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result of the Approval, the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until July 15, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and qualify for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the minimum bid price per share of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the additional 180-day compliance period. If the Company fails to regain compliance during the additional compliance period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s common stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
In connection with obtaining the Approval, the Company notified Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure its deficiency in satisfying the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by effecting a reverse stock split prior to July 15, 2024, if necessary.
The Company intends to continue to actively monitor the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve any deficiencies and regain compliance.
