| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On October 6, 2021, Cyren Ltd. (the “Company”) received a written letter (the “Extension Notice”) from Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that Nasdaq has granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 4, 2022 (the “Extension Period”), to regain compliance with the requirement for the Company’s ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
The Extension Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s Ordinary Shares remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 13, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had failed to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement because the bid price for the Company’s Ordinary Shares over a period of 30 consecutive business days prior to such date had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing. The notification had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company initially had a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 5, 2021, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
If at any time before April 4, 2022, the bid price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Rule. If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by April 4, 2022, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s Ordinary Shares will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company will continue to monitor the bid price for its Ordinary Shares and consider various options available to it if its Ordinary Shares do not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance. These options include effecting a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
A copy of a press release announcing the above is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
