Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 14, 2015, Perseon Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive trading days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
The Letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock, and the stock will continue to trade uninterrupted on the The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PRSN”. The Company intends to resolve the situation to allow for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Letter states that the Company has until March 14, 2016 to demonstrate compliance by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within this grace period, it may be eligible to receive an additional 180-day grace period; provided, that the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and provides written notice of its intention to cure the Bid Price Rule deficiency during the second 180-day grace period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional grace period, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.
This Form 8-K may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements, including forward-looking statements about the intention of the management of the Company to allow for the continued listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results due to a variety of factors, including, among other things, actions that could be taken by members of the Nasdaq staff and any exercise of discretion by members of the Nasdaq staff with respect to compliance by the Company with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the general direction of stock prices in the United States and in the Company’s industry, the demand for the Company’s products, the ability of the Company to produce the products to meet the demand, global economic conditions and uncertainties in the geopolitical environment, and other risk factors set forth in the Company’s most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K are based on limited information currently available to the Company, which is subject to change, and the Company will not necessarily update the information.
