VIENNA, Va., Oct. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Urgent.ly Inc. (Nasdaq: ULY) ("Urgently"), a U.S.-based leading provider of digital roadside and mobility assistance technology and services, announced today that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notified Urgently (the "Notice") that Urgently is not in compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") because the minimum bid price of Urgently's common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of Urgently's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Urgently has 180 calendar days, or until March 31, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the "Compliance Period"). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of Urgently's common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period.
If Urgently has not been deemed in compliance prior to the expiration of the Compliance Period, Urgently may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period (the "Second Compliance Period"), provided that it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing 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 bid price deficiency during the Second Compliance Period. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that Urgently will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if Urgently is otherwise not eligible for the Second Compliance Period, Nasdaq would notify Urgently that its common stock would be subject to delisting. Urgently may appeal any such determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance that any such appeal would be successful.
Urgently intends to monitor closely the closing bid price of its common stock and to consider plans for regaining compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), including by proposing a reverse stock split for stockholder approval, if necessary. While Urgently plans to review all available options, there can be no assurance that it will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) during the Compliance Period, any subsequent extension period, or at all.
