MediaCo Holding Inc. (Nasdaq: MDIA) (“MediaCo”) today announced that it received an expected deficiency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 20, 2024 (the “Notice”). The Notice indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Q2 2024 Form 10-Q”), as described more fully in the Company’s Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “Form 12b-25”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 14, 2024. The Listing Rule requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC.

The Notice indicates that the Company has until October 21, 2024 to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule with respect to the delinquent filing, and indicates that any additional Nasdaq Staff exception to allow the Company to regain compliance with the delinquent filing will be limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days from the due date of the Q2 2024 Form 10-Q (as extended pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), or February 17, 2025. The Company intends to submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq and take the necessary steps to regain compliance with the Listing Rule as soon as practicable.

The filing of the Q2 2024 Form 10-Q was delayed due to the matters described in the Form 12b-25. While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company will continue to work diligently to complete and file the delayed report as soon as practicable.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of MediaCo’s Class A common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MDIA” at this time.
