LumiraDx Announces Receipt of NASDAQ Delisting Determination; Plans to Appeal
October 27 2023 - 3:45PM
On October 24, 2023, LumiraDx Limited (Nasdaq: LMDX)(the “Company”)
received a notice (“Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications
Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
stating that on April 21, 2023, the Staff had notified the Company
that the bid price of its listed securities had closed at less than
$US1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days,
and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the
“Minimum Bid Requirement”). Therefore, in accordance with Listing
Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or
until October 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid
Price Requirement. The Notice states that because the Company has
not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, its
securities are now subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global
Market.
The Notice indicates that unless the Company appeals the
delisting determination, which it intends to do, trading of the
Company's securities will be suspended at the opening of business
on November 2, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's
securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
The Notice stated that the Company may appeal Staff's
determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. A
hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s
securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s
decision. The Company intends to request a hearing to appeal the
delisting determination. The Company is working on a plan to
present to the Panel in an effort to regain compliance with the
Listing Rules.
This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a
deficiency notification.
