Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On December 13, 2022, Lucira Health, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company did not satisfy the requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a) (“Rule 5450(a)”) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. The Company became deficient with Rule 5450(a) as of December 13, 2022 as its closing bid price was less than $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notice. The Notice is a notice of deficiency, not delisting, and does not currently affect the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
The Company has 180 days, or until June 12, 2023, to comply with Rule 5450(a) by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days, and the Company must otherwise satisfy the Nasdaq Global Select Market’s requirements for listing. If the Company has not been deemed in compliance prior to the expiration of the 180 day compliance period, the Company may transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the bid price requirement) based on the Company’s most recent public filings and market information and notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure this deficiency. Following a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company will be afforded the remainder of the applicable compliance period set forth in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) which provides the Company an additional 180 days’ compliance period, unless it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the Company to cure the deficiency.
The Company intends to monitor closely the closing bid price of its common stock and to consider plans for regaining compliance with Rule 5450(a), including initiating a reverse stock split. While the Company plans to review all available options, there can be no assurance that it will be able to regain compliance with the applicable rules during the 180-day compliance period, any subsequent extension period, or at all.
