Item 3.01
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 15, 2024, Lifecore Biomedical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") received a notification letter (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, as a result of the Company's delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended February 25, 2024 (the "Q3 Form 10-Q") and its continued delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended August 27, 2023 and November 29, 2023 (the "Q1 Form 10-Q" and "Q2 Form 10-Q," respectively, and together with the Q3 Form 10-Q, the "Filings") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company continues not to be in compliance with the requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule"), and that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel would consider the delinquency in the filing of the Q3 Form 10-Q in rendering its determination regarding the Company's continued listing on Nasdaq Global Select Market
.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. As previously disclosed, Nasdaq had pre viously granted the Company until February 12, 2024 to regain compliance with the Listing Rule, and, on February 13, 2024, the Company received the Staff Delisting Determination notifying the Company that Nasdaq has initiated a process which could result in the delisting of the Company's securities from Nasdaq as a result of the Company not being in compliance with the Listing Rule. The Company appealed the Staff Delisting Determination, and, on April 16, 2024, the Company appeared for the hearing in which the Company requested a further stay of any suspension or delisting action to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel has not yet issued its decision, although the Company anticipates that a decision will be forthcoming.
The Company continues to work diligently to complete the Filings and intends to file the Filings as promptly as possible to regain compliance under the Listing Rule. However, there can be no assurance that such periodic reports will be filed before the expiration of any stay granted by Nasdaq, or that the Nasdaq Hearing Panel will grant the Company's request for a further stay of any suspension or delisting action
