Item 3.01.
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On May 2, 2023, Cyanotech Corporation (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Bid Price Rule”).
The Notice provided that, in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the Compliance Period Rule), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until October 30, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price for the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
If the Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the Compliance Date, the Company may qualify for a second 180 calendar day compliance period, provided it meets the continued listing requirements for the market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq (except for the Bid Price Rule). If the Company does not qualify for or fails to regain compliance during the second compliance period, then the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination, such an appeal would be successful.
The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer
The Company includes in this Current Report on Form 8-K “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. A reader can identify forward-looking statements because they are not limited to historical fact or they use words such as “expects”, “estimates”, “intends”, and similar expressions that concern the Company’s strategy, plans, intentions or beliefs about future occurrences or results, including without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s current expectations and intentions with respect to the price of its common stock or alternatives to cure the Nasdaq continued listing requirement deficiency. It is very difficult to predict the effect of know factors, and the Company cannot anticipate all factors that could affect actual results that may be important to an investor. All forward-looking information should be evaluated in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those factors disclosed in this Current Report and those factors disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 22, 2022 and the Company’s subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
