Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 19, 2024, Mannatech, Incorporated (the “Company”) received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was $8,199,000, and therefore, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Global Market’s Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), which requires a $10,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity standard. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market and the common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “MTEX”.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(2)(C), the Company has been provided 45 calendar days, or until October 3, 2024, to supply a specific plan to regain compliance with all Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements and the Company’s time frame to complete its plan. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until February 15, 2025, to evidence compliance. If the plan is not accepted, the Company will have the right to appeal and the common stock would remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the completion of the appeal process. To regain compliance, the Company must have stockholders’ equity of at least $10 million.
The Company is currently evaluating various alternative courses of action to regain compliance, and the Company intends to submit a plan with Nasdaq before October 3, 2024 to maintain its Nasdaq listing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements. Alternatively, the Company believes it is eligible to transfer the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market and could do so to maintain continued listing with Nasdaq, provided that it continues to satisfy the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The following risk factor is provided to supplement the risk factors of the Company previously disclosed in periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024:
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was less than the required $10 million required to be maintained for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. The Company’s ability to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected if the Company is delisted from The Nasdaq Global Market or if the Company were unable to transfer its listing to another stock market.
As previously reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 21, 2024, on August 19, 2024, the Company received a notice (the Notice) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that, because the Company did not maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $10 million (the List Rule), the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market and the common stock continues to trade under the symbol “MTEX”.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(2)(C), the Company was provided 45 calendar days, or until October 3, 2024, to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until February 15, 2025, to evidence compliance. If the plan is not accepted, the Company will have the right to appeal and its common stock would remain listed on The Nasdaq Global Market until the completion of the appeal process. To regain compliance, the Company must have stockholders’ equity of at least $10 million.
The Company is currently evaluating various alternative courses of action to regain compliance and intends to submit a plan with Nasdaq before October 3, 2024, to maintain its Nasdaq listing.
