As previously disclosed in Jason Industries, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 3, 2019, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company did not satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), insofar as the market value of the Company’s listed securities was less than $35 million for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company had been provided a 180-day grace period within which to regain compliance with that requirement, through December 30, 2019.
On January 3, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff indicating that, based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires an issuer to maintain a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million, the Company’s securities would be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel.
Also, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2019, the Company received an additional notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company did not satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5500(a)(2), insofar as the bid price for the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company had been provided a 180-day grace period within which to regain compliance with that requirement, through January 7, 2020.
On January 8, 2020, the Company received a second letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff indicating that, based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires an issuer to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share, the Company’s securities would be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel.
The Company does not intend to request a hearing before that panel in regards to non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5500(b)(2) or Nasdaq Listing Rule 5500(a)(2) and, as a result, trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market will be suspended at the opening of business on January 14, 2020.
The Company anticipates pursuing the trading of its common stock on the OTC market. The Company can provide no assurance that the common stock will commence or continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the common stock on this market, whether the trading volume of the common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for the common stock will continue on this market in the future.
In no event will the foregoing affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s material debt or other agreements.
