Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 24, 2022, NewAge, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), because the closing bid price for the Company’s stock has been below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “NBEV.”
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until August 23, 2022, to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional 180 calendar days to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), subject to the Company satisfying the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, subject to Nasdaq’s approval.
The Company intends to monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and August 23, 2022, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be eligible for an additional grace period or that its common stock will not be delisted.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 25, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the notice from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
