Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 8, 2023, Veradigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granting the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) on or before February 27, 2024, and certain other conditions, including the achievement of various interim milestones (the “Panel Decision”).
As previously disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on March 22, 2023, May 19, 2023, August 18, 2023 and November 17, 2023 by 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”), June 30, 2023 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”) and September 30, 2023 (together with the Q1 Form 10-Q and the Q2 Form 10-Q, the “Form 10-Qs”), the Company was not in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company did not regain compliance within the expiration of the 180-day extension that was previously granted by Nasdaq, and as a result, on September 20, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company’s shares would be delisted.
On September 27, 2023, the Company appealed Nasdaq’s determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and requested a hearing (the “Hearing Request”) before the Panel. The Hearing Request temporarily stayed any suspension of trading through October 12, 2023, and requested that the temporary stay be extended until the issuance of the Panel Decision. On October 6, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the temporary stay of delisting had been extended pending a hearing before the Panel on November 16, 2023, and the issuance of the Panel Decision.
As previously disclosed, a hearing before the Panel was conducted on November 16, 2023. The Panel Decision grants the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules on or before February 27, 2024, and certain other conditions, including the achievement of various interim milestones. The Panel Decision indicates that the Company may request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”) review the Panel Decision, in which case a written request for review would need to be received within 15 days from the date of the Panel Decision. The Council may also on its own motion determine to review the Panel Decision.
The Panel Decision has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market The Company plans to file its Form 10-K and the Form 10-Qs as soon as possible; however, no assurance can be given as to the definitive date on which such periodic reports will be filed.
On December 13, 2023, the Company issued a press release regarding the Panel Decision. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
