Some of the reporting creates confusion. Here is an example of how it works:
Leafly Holdings, Inc (LFLY:Nadaq), began trading under a buck with closing bids under $1.00 on 9/22/22.
On November 2, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Staff providing notification that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a) (1). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock or warrants, and its common stock and warrants will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “LFLY” and “LFLYW,” respectively.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before May 1, 2023, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)
If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by May 1, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would need to transfer the listing of its common stock 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 for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such a notification, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
So, to recap, it takes 30 consecutive days with a closing bid less than a buck to get the attention of Nasdaq, and 10 consecutive days with a closing bid of a dollar or more to get out of trouble.
