MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), a leader in the haircare industry, today announced that it has received written notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company does not presently meet the NYSE’s continued listing standard that requires the Company to maintain a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. As set forth in the Notice, as of October 3, 2023, the 30 trading-day average price of the Company’s common stock was $0.92.
Pursuant to applicable NYSE rules, the Company plans to timely notify the NYSE that it intends to pursue actions to meet the minimum average share price requirement by pursuing measures that are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The NYSE provides for a period of six months following receipt of the Notice for the Company to meet the share price standard and regain compliance for continued listing on the NYSE.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the NYSE. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “RGS” with the designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the shares as “below criteria.” The Notice does not affect the Company’s business operations, or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, and does not conflict with or trigger any violation under the Company’s material debt or other agreements.
The Company also remains noncompliant with the market capitalization requirement of Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 15, 2022, for which the compliance period ends December 13, 2023.
