Insights

Financial Analyst

This compliance achievement removes a significant near-term risk for ClearSign Technologies by averting a potential delisting from Nasdaq. Maintaining Nasdaq listing is important for small-cap companies as it provides better access to capital markets, enhanced visibility and typically results in better trading liquidity. While regaining compliance is positive news from a corporate governance perspective, it's worth noting that this was achieved without a reverse stock split, suggesting organic price appreciation. However, investors should monitor the stock price closely as maintaining compliance will require continued trading above $1.00. For context, companies that fall below this threshold often face challenges in institutional investment accessibility and market perception.

TULSA, Okla., Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSign Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: CLIR) ("ClearSign" or the "Company"), an emerging leader in industrial combustion and sensing technologies that support decarbonization, improve operational and energy efficiency, enable the use of hydrogen as a fuel and enhance safety while dramatically reducing emissions, announces that it has received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") on December 6, 2024, informing ClearSign that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq.

ClearSign was previously notified on May 2, 2024, that its common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by Nasdaq's Listing Rules. In order to regain compliance with the rule, ClearSign was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive business days. This requirement was met on December 5, 2024, the tenth consecutive business day that the closing bid price of ClearSign's common stock was above $1.00. Consequently, ClearSign is now in compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement and its common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
