Eastern International Draws a $1 Bid-Price Notice, Opening a First 180-Day Clock to March 9, 2027
The Hangzhou logistics and infrastructure-construction issuer disclosed a Nasdaq deficiency letter under Rule 5550(a)(2) on Friday. Its shares last changed hands around two-thirds of the level it needs to hold for ten straight sessions, and the March 2027 date is the first deadline, not the last.
Polyrizon Prices a $4.0 Million Registered Direct and Concurrent Private Placement at $12.00 a Unit, With One Warrant Attached to Every Unit
The Nasdaq-listed nano-cap said the deal covers 333,333 units and 333,333 private placement common warrants struck at the same $12.00. It expects to close today; the company said last year, after a Nasdaq hearings panel process, that it would avoid what its chief executive called overly complex or inherently dilutive financing instruments.
Tantech Sets 1-for-50 Reverse Split for Sept. 4, Its Second Share Consolidation in 19 Months
The Nasdaq-listed company's record date falls today, weeks ahead of the compliance deadline reported for a bid-price deficiency it received in March. Combined with a 1-for-40 split in February 2025, the two consolidations total 2,000-to-1 in about 19 months.
Cyabra Holders Approve Retiring All Three Preferred Series, Removing Conversion-Price Resets and Leaving a 123% Resale Registration
The AI narrative-intelligence company said stockholders backed the conversion and exchange with about 98% of votes cast. The transactions have not closed, and a resale registration filed Sept. 1 covers more shares than are currently outstanding.
Shengfeng Development Sets 1-for-15 Reverse Split for Sept. 8; the Release Gives No Reason for It
The Fuzhou-based contract logistics company will consolidate both share classes 15-to-1, with its Class A ordinary shares to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on Monday, taking roughly 82.5m ordinary shares down to about 5.5m. Its announcement states no purpose for the split and makes no reference to any Nasdaq listing rule, bid-price requirement or deficiency.
Capstone Holding Maps Remaining Convertible-Note Dilution and an Unused Reverse-Split Window
An August 26 filing from the building-products roll-up puts potential dilution from its remaining convertible notes at about 28 percent of shares outstanding, after the conversion price was cut to $0.2949 earlier in the month. The company trades below Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum with a compliance period running to January 4, 2027 and shareholder authority for a reverse split it has not yet used.
MicroVision clears its Nasdaq bid-price deficiency seven months on, after a 1-for-15 split and a $17m raise at $2.50
MicroVision said Monday that Nasdaq confirmed on August 26 that the company had regained compliance with the exchange's $1 minimum bid price rule and closed the matter. The cure followed a reverse split effective August 1 and a registered offering priced two weeks later that added 6.8m shares and an equal number of five-year warrants.
Celularity Discloses Nasdaq Notice With Two 10-Qs Unfiled and a Sept. 4 Deadline to Submit a Compliance Plan
The company said Nasdaq wrote on Aug. 21 citing Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Any exception the exchange grants would expire Nov. 16, and the most recent Celularity quarterly report on file, covering the first quarter of 2025, carries a going-concern warning.
Fast Track Group Called a 1-for-20 Consolidation Vote for Monday. Nasdaq Set the Stock's Suspension for Tuesday.
The delisting determination issued Aug. 11, six days before the meeting. A timely appeal stays the Form 25-NSE but, the company's own filing says, does not stay the suspension.
T3 Defense Says It Regained Nasdaq Bid-Price Compliance After 1-for-125 Reverse Split
The micro-cap defense company told investors on August 17 that Nasdaq confirmed it back in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price rule, roughly a month after a steep reverse stock split cut its share count to about one million.
MiniLuxe Announces a C$6 Million Dutch-Auction Buyback at C$0.40 to C$0.48, Above Monday's C$0.385 Close
The Boston-based nail-care operator said Tuesday morning that its board authorized a substantial issuer bid to repurchase for cancellation up to C$6,000,000 of its Class A subordinate voting shares through a modified Dutch auction priced at C$0.40 to C$0.48 a share — a range entirely above the C$0.385 close of Monday, August 17, the last completed session. The offer does not open until August 20 and runs to September 24. The August 18 release sets out the price range, the share math and the conditions; it does not state how the purchase would be funded, gives no cash balance and offers no rationale.
Gaxos.ai Closes $3.6 Million Warrant Repricing, Issuing Two New Warrants for Every Share Exercised
The nano-cap AI developer cut the strike on 3,007,654 outstanding warrants to $1.20 and handed holders 6,015,308 fresh warrants at $0.95 as the inducement. The transaction raises cash and enlarges the potential share count; it does not establish that the company has resolved the sub-$1.00 trading level that preceded the reverse-split authority put before shareholders at its August 11 annual meeting.
AMASS Brands Issued Guidance Through 2027 That Its Own Release Says Does Not Assume the Capital It Still Needs to Raise
The beverage company, which reached Nasdaq by direct listing in May without raising capital, reported $5.6 million of second-quarter net revenue and $1.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on Monday. Its own risk list names past-due notes, substantial doubt about going concern, and dilution from a convertible preferred facility of up to $30 million.
Callan JMB Cleared Nasdaq's $1.00 Bid Price Without a Reverse Split. Its Other Listing Clock Runs to Oct. 4.
A letter dated Aug. 14 closed the bid-price file about six weeks after the notice arrived, and the company says the cure came from the closing bid price alone. A separate stockholders' equity deficiency disclosed in April has its own deadline.
C3is Sets a 1-for-40 Reverse Split for Aug. 18, Its Third Since December 2024 — a Cumulative 1-for-2,000
Shares outstanding go from about 57.6 million to about 1.44 million. The Nasdaq-listed shipowner's Class B and Class C warrants keep adjusting for five trading days after the split takes effect.
Cycurion's Nasdaq Hearing Is Thursday. The Rule That Denied It a Cure Period Is Its Own 1-for-30 Split From Last October.
Cycurion, Inc. goes before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel on Aug. 20. Nasdaq determined the company is not eligible for the customary 180-day bid-price compliance period, and the company disclosed that determination in a July 16 release filed with the SEC. The provision cited, Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), bars a compliance period for a company with a bid-price deficiency that has reverse split within the prior year — and Cycurion split 1-for-30 on Oct. 27, 2025.
NexGel's 100 Million Share Increase Failed At The July 31 Vote. Two Weeks Later It Asked Holders For 150 Million.
Stockholders did not deliver the majority of outstanding shares needed to lift NexGel's authorized common stock to 100 million or to authorize a reverse split, according to an Aug. 5 filing that reported the July 31 annual meeting. A preliminary proxy filed Friday asks again — for a ceiling of up to 150 million shares and a split of up to 1-for-20 — at a Sept. 23 special meeting, with the company's Nasdaq bid-price deadline on Oct. 19.
Air T's Revenue Rose $44.6 Million. One Segment That Did Not Exist A Year Ago Contributed $55.9 Million.
All of Air T's 63% growth came from two businesses it bought — the legacy segments shrank about $12.8 million — and Friday's release is the first to split the $3.6 billion asset-management platform announced in June into $3.0 billion actively managed and $0.6 billion committed under letters of intent.
Eightco Has Until February 1 To Close Above $1.00. Its Treasury Has Fallen $94 Million Since Mid-June.
On August 5 Eightco Holdings fixed its treasury at roughly $378 million and, the same day, received a Nasdaq notice that its stock had closed below $1.00 for 30 straight business days. The clock and the treasury move on the same input: a token price that has more than halved since June 17. Here is what the filings and the rulebook actually say, and what they do not.
Next Technology's Second Reverse Split In Eleven Months Puts Its Cumulative Ratio At 20,000-To-1
Next Technology Holding (Nasdaq: NXTT) combined every 100 shares into one on August 10, eleven months after a 200-for-1 consolidation. Multiplied, the two ratios come to 20,000-to-1 — eighty times the 250-to-1 threshold in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the limb that strips a company of the 180-day bid-price cure period. The bar is conditional, not present: the stock closed Friday at $6.54, and no deficiency notice appears anywhere in the company's 2026 filings.
One Person, Three Roles: Scully Royalty's Executive Chairman Adds Interim CEO and Interim CFO
A one-paragraph August 13 filing hands Michael Smith the top executive and top financial post at a company that rescinded its own January disclosures, went four months without an auditor, and spent nearly two months suspended from the NYSE. The filing record, not the press release, tells the story.
Northann's Auditor Says It Never Signed the Audit. Seven Weeks Into a Halt, the Company Still Has No Replacement.
LAO Professionals told Northann Corp. it never issued or consented to the audit report filed with the 2025 Form 10-K. NYSE American halted the stock on June 25. On Friday the company told the SEC it cannot file its June-quarter 10-Q because it has no auditor. Shareholders cannot sell on the exchange, and no document on file carries a date for when that changes.
Haoxi's 1-for-20 Split Takes Effect Friday, the Third Consolidation Since January 2025
The Nasdaq-listed Beijing advertising group consolidates its Class A shares for the third time in nineteen months, five weeks after a $4 million registered direct offering rebuilt the share count the last split had erased.
Farmmi Discloses Nasdaq Bid-Price Notice and a Same-Day Debt-for-Shares Swap at About 12.7 Cents
The Chinese agricultural products supplier told the SEC on Wednesday that Nasdaq had flagged its Class A shares for trading under $1.00 for 30 straight business days. The same Form 6-K disclosed the issuance of 1,581,027 new shares to retire $200,000 of a 2024 promissory note.
Silexion Prices $2.5 Million Nasdaq Offering With One-for-One Warrant Coverage, Expected to Close Thursday
The RNAi developer priced 3,846,161 ordinary shares at $0.65 on Wednesday alongside an equal number of five-year Series E warrants, a structure that puts more than 7.6 million potential shares behind gross proceeds smaller than the company's own most recent quarterly net loss.
Modiv Industrial pulls its shares off the NYSE as the Global Net Lease merger closes
A Form 25-NSE filed Wednesday removes Modiv's Class C common and its 7.375% Series A preferred from the New York Stock Exchange, completing a stock-for-stock deal the companies announced in May at a $535 million enterprise value and taking another small net-lease REIT off the listed tape.
Three Nasdaq compliance letters in two days show the micro-cap cure clock running both ways
uCloudlink started a fresh 180-day bid-price clock, Netcapital was handed a second one, and Nocera declared its listing file closed. The three disclosures, all dated August 10 or 11, map the full lifecycle of a small-cap listing problem.
Reverse splits pile up on the tape as Nasdaq's narrowed cure rules leave less room to maneuver
Onfolio cut its share count by 98% and SolarMax follows Thursday, but exchange rule changes have stripped away the second compliance period companies once relied on.
Bernhard Capital's $1 Billion Bowman Buyout Headlines a Busy Week for Small-Cap Dealmaking
A 58% premium take-private for the engineering firm, a reverse split tied to Check-Cap's embodied-AI merger, and fresh micro-cap financings mark an active stretch of corporate actions down the cap spectrum.
An $8 Million EXIM Check — and a White House Mention — Reprice 5E Advanced Materials' Boron Bet
The Export-Import Bank took an initial position in the Fort Cady boron project days after it appeared in a White House critical-minerals fact sheet, sending the $81 million company up more than 30% and putting a $285 million debt package in view.
