The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Grants Cemtrex an Extension to Regain Compliance with the Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement
As reported on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 23, 2024, on August 21, 2024, Cemtrex, Inc. (the ‘Company’) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’) notifying the Company that, because the stockholder’s equity for the Company was below $2,500,000 as reported on the company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company no longer meets the minimum shareholder’s equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1), requiring a minimum stockholder’s equity of $2,500,000 (the ‘Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement’). In addition, as reported on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2024, on June 14, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of 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 trading days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the ‘Minimum Bid Price Requirement’). On October 23, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq that it had been granted an extension to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement. The terms of the extension are as follows: on or before February 17, 2025, the Company must complete the submitted plan and opt for one of the two following alternatives to evidence compliance with the Rule: Alternative 1: The Company must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report (e.g., a Form 8-K) including: A disclosure of Staff’s deficiency letter and the specific deficiency(ies) cited; A description of the completed transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing; An affirmative statement that, as of the date of the report, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement based upon the specific transaction or event referenced in Step 2; and A disclosure stating that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting. Alternative 2: The Company must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly available report including: Steps 1 & 2 set forth above; A balance sheet no older than 60 days with pro forma adjustments for any significant transactions or event occurring on or before the report date. The pro forma balance sheet must evidence compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement; and A disclosure that the Company believes it also satisfies the stockholders’ equity requirement as of the report date and that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting. Regardless of which alternative the Company chooses, if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its periodic report for the March 31, 2025, with the SEC and Nasdaq, the Company may be subject to delisting.
