ITEM 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule of Standard; Transfer of Listing |
On March 15, 2019, Restoration Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the listing qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that for 30 consecutive business days the Company’s common stock did not maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of $15,000,000, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until September 11, 2019, to regain compliance with the MVPHS rule. To regain compliance, the Company’s MVPHS must close at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before September 11, 2019.
If the Company’s common stock does not achieve compliance by September 11, 2019, the Company may be eligible for an additional180-day period to regain compliance if it transfers to the Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the MVPHS requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not meet the other listing standards, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In the event the Company receives notice that its common stock is being delisted, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to monitor its MVPHS and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the MVPHS requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rule.
