CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veradigm Inc. (Nasdaq: MDRX) announced today that, as expected, it received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company remains noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company has not filed 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”), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”, and together with the Q1 Form 10-Q and the Q2 Form 10-Q, the “Form 10-Qs”). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company previously received notices (the “Prior Notices”) from Nasdaq on March 20, 2023, on May 18, 2023 and on August 16, 2023 that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company had not timely filed the Form 10-K and each of the Q1 Form 10-Q and the Q2 Form 10-Q. The Company received notice (the “Additional Notice”) from Nasdaq on November 14, 2023 that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company had not timely filed the Q3 Form 10-Q.
As previously disclosed, 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 (the “Delisting 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 a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (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 Panel issues a final decision on the matter. 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 a final Panel decision. A hearing before the Panel was conducted on November 16, 2023, but a final Panel decision has not yet been rendered.
The Prior Notices and the Additional Notice have 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 practicable; however, no assurance can be given as to the definitive date on which such periodic reports will be filed or the final decision of the Panel regarding a delisting of the Company’s common stock.
