Adamas One Receives Nasdaq Notification of Non-Compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)
18 April 2024 - 7:10AM
Adamas One Corp. (Nasdaq: JEWL) (“Adamas One,” “Adamas” or the
“Company”), The Original Lab-Grown Diamond Company™, a high-tech
company that leverages proprietary technology to produce
high-quality, single-crystal, Lab-Grown Diamonds for jewelry and
diamond materials for industrial uses, today reports that, as
previously disclosed, on October 12, 2023, the Company received a
letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq
Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of its noncompliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) by failing to
maintain a minimum bid price for the Company’s common shares of at
least $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company
was allowed an initial 180-day grace period, or until April 9,
2024, (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the
Rule. To regain compliance with the Rule the closing bid price of
the Company’s common shares needed to be at least $1.00 per share
for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the
Compliance Period.
On April 11, 2024, the Company received
notification that it had failed to regain compliance with the Rule
and is not eligible for a second 180 day compliance period because
of its failure to comply with the $5 million minimum stockholders’
equity initial listing requirement for the period ended December
31, 2023. Unless the Company timely requests a hearing before an
independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s
securities will be subject to delisting. Accordingly, the Company
will request a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request will
automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the
hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period
granted by the Panel following the hearing. In that regard,
pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Panel has the discretion
to grant an additional extension period that can expire as late as
October 8, 2024. At the hearing, the Company will be asked to
provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel. The Company
intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and
request the continued listing of its common shares on Nasdaq
pending such compliance. However, there can be no assurance that
the Panel will grant the Company’s request or that the Company will
ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for
continued listing on Nasdaq.
