As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 4, 2022, on December 31, 2021, Conformis, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the closing bid price for its common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days and that the Company therefore is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
On June 30, 2022, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff notified the Company that it has extended the time period for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement until December 27, 2022. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
The Company intends to continue monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and has given written notice to Nasdaq that it intends to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during this additional 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
At the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposed amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock by one of several fixed ratios between 1-for-2 and 1-for-10 and to correspondingly decrease the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company’s Board of Directors intends to determine whether to proceed with the reverse stock split, the effective time of the reverse stock split, and the exact ratio of the reverse stock split, at a future date. The Company’s Board of Directors intends to make such determination prior to the expiration of the additional compliance period granted to the Company by Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff, and will provide public disclosure of the implementation of any reverse stock split prior to its implementation.
