Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on December 26, 2024, ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar days from December 26, 2024, or until June 24, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Nasdaq stated that one of the bases for its determination to grant the extension was the Company being in compliance with all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On May 19, 2025, the Company submitted a request to the Nasdaq for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii). On June 25, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq staff advising that the Company had been granted a 180-day extension to December 22, 2025 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock between now and December 22, 2025, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days and the Company must receive approval of compliance from the Nasdaq Staff in accordance with applicable Listing Rules.
In the event that compliance cannot be demonstrated by December 22, 2025, the staff of the Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notification that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to request in writing that a Nasdaq Hearings Panel review the matter pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815. However, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(d), a timely request for a hearing will not stay the suspension of the securities from trading for a Company afforded the second 180-day compliance period described in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) that failed to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during that period.
The Company is diligently working to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during this 180-day extension period. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing standards, its common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards or receive additional time from Nasdaq to regain compliance if necessary. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “goal,” “potential” and the negative of such terms or other similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and involve assumptions that may never materialize or may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous risks and uncertainties. Information regarding the foregoing and additional risks may be found in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
