Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On July 1, 2019, SG Blocks, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
The notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until December 30, 2019, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period.
If the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by December 30, 2019, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price, and provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and consider its available options in the event that the closing bid price of its common stock remains below $1.00 per share. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements.
