Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by TRxADE HEALTH, INC. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) on August 1, 2022, on July 29, 2022, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,804,533, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to the Rule. Additionally, the Company does not meet the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Nasdaq provided the Company until September 12, 2022 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. We submitted the plan to regain compliance in a timely manner, and on October 17, 2022, Nasdaq advised the Company that it has determined to grant the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Rule.
The terms of the extension are as follows: on or before January 25, 2023, the Company must complete certain contemplated transactions which the Company has advised Nasdaq will allow it to re-meet the requirements of the Rule (including the public sale of $1.75 million of common stock (or pre-funded warrants), which transaction was completed on October 7, 2022), and opt for one of the two following alternatives to evidence compliance with the Rule: Alternative 1, completion of a transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, and disclosure of that event, along with certain other information, in a public filing with the SEC, including that as of the date of the report, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and a disclosure stating that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement; or Alternative 2, completion of a transaction or event that enabled the Company to satisfy the stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, and disclosure of that event, along with certain other information, in a public filing with the SEC, including pro forma adjustments and a pro forma balance sheet must evidence compliance with the Rule, and disclosure that the Company believes it has regained compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and a disclosure stating that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement. Additionally, in either case the Company is required to disclose that 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 next periodic report with the SEC and Nasdaq, the Company may be subject to delisting. In the event the Company does not satisfy these terms, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
We are currently in the process of accounting for the transactions related to the recent sale of $1.75 million in shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants, and concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase up to 2,663,045 shares of common stock, which may result in us regaining compliance with the Rule; however, we may not be in compliance with the Rule even after the offering. Separately, the Company is continuing to pursue various other potential courses of action to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company is confident that it can regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity standard within the timeframe set forth above.
