On February 11, 2026, the Company received a notification (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”…
The Notice has no immediate impact on the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until August 10, 2026 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with…
The Notice also states that if, at any time before the Compliance Date, the Company’s MVPHS closes at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance, and the matter will be closed.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Company will receive written notification from Nasdaq that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
The Company intends to actively monitor its MVPHS and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVPHS requirement, that the Company will be able to maintain the listing of its c…
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
