B COMMUNICATIONS LTD. RECEIVES NASDAQ LETTER REGARDING NON-COMPLIANCE WITH MINIMUM BID PRICE REQUIREMENT
April 27 2020 - 7:00AM
B Communications Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: BCOM)
(“
BCOM” or the “
Company”)
announced today that on April 22, 2020, BCOM received a notice from
the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market
(“
Nasdaq”) regarding BCOM’s non-compliance with
the $1 per share minimum bid price requirement stated in Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “
Minimum Bid
Requirement”).
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been
provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the
date of notification in which to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Requirement. Additionally, due to the ongoing turmoil in the
world financial markets, Nasdaq has determined to toll the
compliance period for the Minimum Bid Requirement through June 30,
2020. As a result, the Company has until December 28, 2020 to
regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. If at any time
prior to December 28, 2020 the closing bid price of the Company’s
ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days, the Company will be considered by Nasdaq to have
regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
BCOM will actively monitor its closing bid price during the
compliance period. Nasdaq’s notice has no immediate effect on the
listing of the Company’s ordinary shares on Nasdaq and does not
otherwise impact the Company’s listing on the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange. In the event the Company does not evidence compliance
with the Nasdaq Listing Rules within any prescribed period and is
not otherwise eligible for additional time to do so, the Company
would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. In that event, the
Company would have the right to request a hearing before a Nasdaq
Hearings Panel, which request would stay any further action by
Nasdaq pending such hearing.
In lieu of delisting, BCOM could consider applying to Nasdaq to
have its ordinary shares transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market,
provided that it satisfies all of the requirements for continued
listing on that market, including market value of publicly held
shares, but other than the $1 minimum bid price requirement. In
that case, BCOM would need to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure
the minimum bid price deficiency during a second 180 day compliance
period, including by way of a reverse share split, if necessary. In
order to approve the transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq
would need to verify that it believes that it would be possible for
BCOM to cure the minimum bid price deficiency.
