HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nobilis Health Corp. (NYSE American: HLTH) (“Nobilis” or the “Company”) announced today that on May 30, 2019, it received notice from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide regarding low selling price issues. Specifically, the notice stated that the Company’s common shares have been selling for a low per share price for a substantial period of time and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, the Company’s continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common shares or otherwise demonstrating a sustained price improvement within a reasonable period of time, which the NYSE American determined to be no later than November 30, 2019. The notice further stated that as a result of the foregoing, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the NYSE American Company Guide, which could, among other things, result in the initiation of delisting proceedings.
The Company intends to monitor the market price of its common shares and is reviewing all available options. The Company’s common shares will continue to be listed on the NYSE American during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing standards, including as discussed below.
As previously reported, on November 15, 2018, the Company received a notice from the NYSE American that the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria established in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide, as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018. On May 16, 2019, the Company received notice from the NYSE American that NYSE Regulation has accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE American Company Guide and granted an extension of the plan period through August 31, 2019, subject to periodic review by NYSE Regulation for compliance with adherence to the milestones set forth in the Company’s plan. As a result, the listing of the Company’s common shares on the NYSE American is being continued pursuant to an extension during the plan period. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in by August 31, 2019, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, NYSE Regulation may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.
As the Company has previously stated, additional time is required for the Company and its auditor to complete their review of the Company’s financial statements in order to finalize the delinquent filings. The Company is re-evaluating the Net Realizable Value on its Accounts Receivable and intends to make a significant adjustment to the carrying value of accounts receivable, primarily on out of network claims greater than 365 days old. The final adjustment is subject to the completion of the Company’s and auditor’s review.
