Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On March 21, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company’s previously announced delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company is no longer in compliance with the timely filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.
The Notice states that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan (the “Plan”) to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements (the “Plan Deadline”). If the Plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days to regain compliance. The Company can also regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements at any time prior to the Plan Deadline by filing the Form 10-K, along with any subsequent periodic reports that may become due, and by continuing to comply with Nasdaq’s other continued listing requirements.
The Company intends to file the Form 10-K on or before March 31, 2023 and in any event, substantially prior to the Plan Deadline.
On March 27, 2023, the Company issued a press release regarding the notice received from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
“Safe Harbor” Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Certain statements in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s timing of filing of the Annual Report. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations or beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. For a more detailed description of the risk factors and uncertainties affecting Consensus, refer to the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Consensus on April 15, 2022, and, when filed, the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other reports filed by Consensus from time to time with the SEC, each of which is available at www.sec.gov.
