Explanatory Note:
On April 13, 2023, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) granted Farmmi, Inc. (the “Company”) an additional 180 calendar days, or until October 9, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule” or the “Rule”).
As previously reported, on October 12, 2022, the Company received a notification letter from NASDAQ advising the Company of its noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule for 30 consecutive business days preceding the notice date. The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until April 10, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company was unable to regain compliance within the initial compliance period.
NASDAQ’s determination to grant the second compliance period was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the second 180-day compliance period. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Rule or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements necessary for the Company to maintain the listing of its ordinary shares on NASDAQ.
The notice has no effect on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares at this time and the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “FAMI”.
The Company issued a press release announcing this matter on April 14, 2023. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K.
