Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 23, 2023, Edgio, Inc. (“Edgio” or the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.
The Company previously reported in its Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023, and in its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023, that the Company was unable to file its 2022 Form 10-K within the prescribed time period due to an error in accounting for sales of Edgio’s Open Edge solution which resulted in the Company’s plan to restate its previously issued financials.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company has 60 calendar days from receipt of the Notice, or until May 22, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the prescribed due date for filing the 2022 Form 10-K, or until September 12, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company intends to file the Form 10-K as promptly as possible in order to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer
The Company includes in this Current Report on Form 8-K “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. A reader can identify forward-looking statements because they are not limited to historical fact or they use words such as “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” and similar expressions that concern the Company’s strategy, plans, intentions or beliefs about future occurrences or results, including without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s current expectations and intentions with respect to the filing of its 2022 Form 10-K. It is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and the Company cannot anticipate all factors that could affect actual results that may be important to an investor. All forward-looking information should be evaluated in the context of these risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those factors disclosed in this Current Report and those factors disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2022 and the Company’s subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
All forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
