Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 22, 2023, May 19, 2023 and August 18, 2023 by Veradigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Company received notices from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q) and June 30, 2023 (together with the Q1 Form 10-Q, the “Form 10-Qs”), the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rules”), which requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

As previously disclosed on September 18, 2023, the Company did not regain compliance within the expiration of the 180-day “exception period” that was previously granted by Nasdaq. On September 20, 2023, the Company received notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from Nasdaq that the Company's shares would be delisted. The Company intends to appeal the determination made by Nasdaq pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Listing Rules. As previously disclosed, the Listing Rules provide that the Company may request a hearing (the “Hearing Request”) before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and that the request will temporarily stay any suspension or delisting action for 22 days from the date of the Delisting Notice. Further, the Listing Rules provide that, in its Hearing Request, the Company may request that the stay remain in effect through the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel. Accordingly, the Company intends to make such an extended stay request. While the determination on whether to grant the stay will be made by the Panel, the Company believes that it satisfies the standards for the granting of such an extended stay.

 

On September 22, 2023, the Company issued a press release regarding its receipt of the Delisting Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s beliefs and expectations relating to the filing of the Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs, its appeal to Nasdaq and whether the Company’s common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management with respect to future events, only speak as of the date that they are made and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements can be identified by the use of words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “continue,” “can,” “may,” “look forward,” “aim,” “hopes,” and similar terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. Actual results could differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

 

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a further material delay in the Company’s financial reporting, including as a result of unanticipated factors or factors that the Company currently believes will not cause further delay, the possibility that the ongoing review may identify additional errors or control deficiencies in the Company’s accounting practices, the likelihood that the control deficiencies identified or that may be identified in the future will result in additional material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the possibility that the Company is unable to regain compliance with, or thereafter continue to comply with, the Listing Rules, or experience violations of additional Listing Rules, the possibility that Nasdaq may deny the Company’s appeal and delist the Company’s securities and other factors contained in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements, or other changes over time, except as required by law.

Veradigm Inc. Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Notice and Intent to Appeal

 

CHICAGO – September 22, 2023Veradigm Inc. (NASDAQ: MDRX) announced today that, on September 20, 2023 and as anticipated in its September 18 release, it received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s shares would be delisted due to noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (together with the Q1 Form 10-Q, the “Form 10-Qs”) before the expiration of the 180-day “exception period” that was previously granted by Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

As previously disclosed, the Company has been unable to file the Form 10-K, and consequently, the Form 10-Qs, because of internal control failures that primarily stem from accounting processes and a software tool implemented by the Company in order to comply with the requirements of FASB’s rule ASC 606. The work effort to conclude on the accounting and internal control errors has taken longer than previously expected, primarily resulting from the need to build a new supplemental revenue system tool and the extensive manual work to aggregate and map the Company’s historical transaction data into the new system tool. The Company currently expects to file the Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q during the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company intends to appeal the determination made by Nasdaq pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. As previously disclosed, the Listing Rules provide that the Company may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and that the request will temporarily stay any suspension or delisting action for 22 days from the date of the Nasdaq notification. Further, the Listing Rules provide that, in its hearing request, the Company may request that the stay remain in effect through the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel. Accordingly, the Company intends to make such an extended stay request. While the determination on whether to grant the stay will be made by the Panel, the Company believes that it satisfies the standards for the granting of such an extended stay.
