Insights

The Nasdaq notification to Argo Blockchain regarding minimum bid price deficiency represents a serious challenge for the cryptocurrency mining company. A sustained trading period below $1.00 puts ARBK at risk of potential delisting if not remedied by July 15, 2025. For context, companies receiving such notifications typically consider several options to regain compliance:

  • Reverse stock split (share consolidation) to artificially boost share price
  • Fundamental business improvements to attract investors and naturally increase share price
  • Share buyback programs to support price levels

With a relatively small market cap of $40.7 million, Argo's options may be The dual-listing structure on LSE provides some stability, but the potential loss of Nasdaq listing would significantly impact U.S. investor access and trading liquidity. The 6-month compliance window suggests urgency in addressing underlying business fundamentals or implementing corporate actions to maintain listing requirements.

The cryptocurrency mining sector's cyclical nature and current market conditions make this notification particularly challenging. A successful resolution will require either substantial improvement in crypto market conditions or significant corporate restructuring initiatives.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM / ACCESS Newswire / January 17, 2025 / Argo Blockchain plc (LSE:ARB)(NASDAQ:ARBK), announces today that it has received written notification (the "Notification Letter") from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Listing Qualifications Department ("Nasdaq") that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1) since the closing bid price for the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADS") listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has until 15 July 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, during which time the ADSs are expected to continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. If at any time before 15 July 2025, the bid price of the ADSs closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and will consider such deficiency matters closed.

The Notification Letter does not affect the Company's business operations, and it does not affect the Company's listing on the London Stock Exchange.

The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its ADSs between now and 15 July 2025, and to evaluate all available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1).
