| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On January 7, 2020, Fuel Tech, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock that trades under the symbol “FTEK” (“Common Stock”), for the last 30 consecutive business days the Common Stock did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on NASDAQ pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Rule”), initiating an automatic 180 calendar-day grace period for the Company to regain compliance.
The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Common Stock, and the Common Stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol “FTEK”.
In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notification, or until July 6, 2020 to achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule. The Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule if at any time before July 6, 2020, the bid price for the Company’s Common Stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
The Company intends to meet the requirements for the Minimum Bid Rule in the future. This may include seeking the approval of stockholders at the Company’s next annual meeting to effect a reverse stock split.
