NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Receives NYSE American Communication

According to the Exchange, this notice does not impact the Company’s ongoing plan to regain compliance with continued listing standards, which requires the Company to regain such compliance by October 12, 2020 or be subject to delisting procedures. On May 11, 2019, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance to the Exchange, which is pending approval by the Exchange. If the NYSE American accepts the plan, the common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during that specified period. If the Company does not regain compliance with NYSE American listing standards, or does not make progress consistent with the plan, the NYSE American staff may commence delisting proceedings.

In a press release dated April 17, 2019, the Company announced notification by the Exchange on April 12, 2019 that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide requiring stockholders’ equity of $6.0 million or more if the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

“We look forward to NYSE American’s review of our plan to regain compliance with its continued listing standards,” said Justin Hall, Interim President and CEO. “It gratifying to report that our majority shareholders continue to pledge their full support.”
