Alpine 4 Holdings (ALPP) Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notice of Additional Staff Determination

Rhea-AI Summary

Alpine 4 Holdings received a notice from Nasdaq on April 18, 2023, due to delays in filing its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC. This situation places the company in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which mandates timely submission of periodic reports. The previous exception granted until May 22, 2023, for the initial delinquent Form 10-Q has now limited any further extensions for compliance to a maximum of 180 days from the due date of the Initial Delinquent Filing. Although the April Notice does not immediately impact the trading of ALPP on Nasdaq, it requires the company to submit a compliance update plan. There are risks associated with this process, including potential failure to meet filing deadlines, which could lead to possible delisting.

Positive

• The Company plans to file both the Form 10-Q and the 2022 10-K as soon as practicable.
• The Common Stock of the Company continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol 'ALPP'.

Negative

• Non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for not timely filing the Form 10-K.
• Risk of potential delisting if the Company fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan.
• Possible delays in filing the Form 10-Q within the required period.

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2023 / On April 18, 2023, the Company received a notice (the "April Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, as a result of not having filed in a timely manner the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule"), which requires timely filing of all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.

The April Notice stated that previously, the Nasdaq Staff had granted the Company an exception until May 22, 2023, to file its delinquent Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 (the "Initial Delinquent Filing"). As a result, any additional Staff exception to allow the Company to regain compliance with all delinquent filings, will be limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days from the due date of the Initial Delinquent Filing, or May 22, 2023.

As a result of this additional delinquency, the Company is required to submit an update to its original plan to regain compliance with respect to the filing requirement.

The Company currently plans to file both the Form 10-Q and the 2022 10-K as soon as practicable and to submit a plan to Nasdaq detailing the Company's plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.

The April Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's Common Stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ALPP," subject to the Company's compliance with the requirements outlined above.

There is no assurance that the Company will file the Form 10-Q or the Form 10-K by any particular date or that Nasdaq will accept any plan that the Company may submit.
