Organogenesis Holdings Inc. Receives Positive Nasdaq Listing Determination
Class A Common Stock to Resume Trading on Nasdaq
CANTON, Mass., Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Organogenesis Holdings Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: ORGO; ORGOW) today announced that on January 4, 2019, the Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that, based on the plan of compliance presented by the Company at its hearing, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") has granted the Company's request for the continued listing of its Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to the Panel's decision, on or before March 31, 2019, the Company is required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Staff and the Panel that it has a minimum of 300 round lot shareholders of its Class A common stock and that it otherwise meets all applicable requirements for listing on Nasdaq.
In furtherance of the Panel's decision, the trading halt of the Company's Class A common stock, which was initiated on October 30, 2018, will be lifted upon the open of the market on January 8, 2019, at which time the Company's Class A common stock will resume trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The halt will be lifted notwithstanding the Company's non-compliance with the round lot shareholder requirement for initial listing of its common stock to allow the Company to execute its plan of compliance.
Although the Company is taking definitive steps to timely evidence compliance with the terms of the Panel's decision, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. In the event the Company is unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Staff and the Panel that it has a minimum of 300 round lot holders of its Class A common stock and that it otherwise meets all applicable requirements for listing on Nasdaq by March 31, 2019, the Company's Class A common stock would be subject to delisting. In addition, the Panel's decision is subject to "call for review" by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the "Listing Council"), on its own motion, for a period of 45 calendar days from the date of the Panel's decision. In the event the Listing Council calls this matter for review, it may affirm, modify or reverse the decision of the Panel.
Because the Company does not expect to satisfy the 400 round lot holder requirement for its warrants in the near term, the Panel has determined to delist the warrants. As a result, the trading halt in the Company's warrants will be converted to a trading suspension effective at the open of the market on January 8, 2019, at which time the warrants are expected to be eligible to trade "over-the-counter" on the OTC Markets system under the trading symbol "ORGOW."
