Greenlane Granted Continued Listing from Nasdaq Hearings Panel, Subject to Return to Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules

Rhea-AI Summary

Greenlane Holdings (NASDAQ:GNLN) has received a conditional extension from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to maintain its listing status. The company faced delisting notices due to non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and concerns over Series B warrants. The Panel has granted GNLN until July 11, 2025, to meet specific compliance conditions: obtain shareholder approval for a reverse stock split by June 16, implement the split by June 27, and maintain a closing price above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. Notably, the Panel dismissed concerns about the Series B warrants issuance, rejecting the public interest determination previously raised by Nasdaq Staff.

Insights

Securities Regulatory Expert

Greenlane avoids immediate delisting but must execute reverse split by June 27 to maintain Nasdaq listing.

Greenlane Holdings has secured a temporary reprieve from Nasdaq delisting, but faces strict compliance deadlines. The company failed to maintain the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement and received an additional delisting notice related to warrants issued in February. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel has granted Greenlane a conditional extension with three critical requirements:

1. Obtain shareholder approval for a reverse stock split by June 16, 2025

2. Implement the reverse split and achieve a minimum closing bid of $1.00 by June 27, 2025

3. Maintain a closing price above $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days by July 11, 2025

The timeline is extremely compressed, giving Greenlane just two weeks to secure shareholder approval and execute the reverse split. While the Panel dismissed concerns about the Series B warrants (rejecting Nasdaq Staff's public interest determination), the fundamental issue remains the company's prolonged trading below $1.00.

Reverse splits are technically neutral events that consolidate shares without changing underlying value, but they often signal deeper financial challenges and frequently lead to continued share price erosion after implementation. The aggressive timeframe suggests urgency in Greenlane's situation, leaving minimal room for setbacks or delays in the approval or implementation process.

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / Greenlane Holdings, Inc. ("Greenlane" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GNLN), one of the premier global sellers of premium cannabis accessories, child-resistant packaging, and specialty vaporization products, today announced today announced that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel ("Panel") has granted the Company's request for an extension to evidence compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously reported by Greenlane on its current report on Form 8-K, on April 2, 2025, the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Nasdaq Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") issued a determination to the Company, which was communicated through a delisting notice (the "Delisting Notice"), indicating that the Company did not satisfy the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for the continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule") by February 19, 2025. The Company subsequently requested a hearing (the "Hearing") before the Panel to appeal the determination by the Nasdaq Staff, and present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. Further, as previously reported by Greenlane on its current report on Form 8-K, on May 9, 2025, Nasdaq Staff issued a public interest determination to the Company, which was communicated through an additional delisting notice, whereby Staff invoked its broad discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101, due to the issuance of Series B warrants exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with its securities purchase agreement dated February 18, 2025.

The Nasdaq hearing on the matter was held on May 15, 2025. During the Hearing, Greenlane presented an overview of its current and ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing shareholder value and regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

On May 30, 2025, the Panel issued its determination (the "Panel Determination Letter") to the Company, granting the Company's request for the continued listing of the Company's common shares on Nasdaq, but subject to the Company's evidencing compliance with the following: (i) on or before June 16, 2025, the Company must obtain shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio sufficient to achieve compliance with the Bid Price Rule; (ii) on or before June 27, 2025, the Company must effect a reverse stock split and achieve a minimum closing bid price of $1.00; and, (iii) to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement, the Company's common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days by July 11, 2025. Importantly, the Panel did not believe that the issuance of a public interest determination based on the facts in this matter was appropriate.
