Fusion Fuel Green PLC received a Staff Determination Notice from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with the minimum $10 million stockholders' equity requirement. The company reported stockholders' equity of $3,022,125 in its 2023 Form 20-F. Despite submitting a compliance plan and requesting transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, Fusion Fuel failed to complete necessary transactions by the November 4, 2024 deadline. While facing potential delisting, the company has appealed the determination, which temporarily stays the suspension of its securities pending the Panel's decision.

Insights

This concerning development signals serious financial distress at Fusion Fuel. The company's $3,022,125 stockholders' equity falls significantly below Nasdaq's $10,000,000 minimum requirement. The failure to execute planned transactions for moving to Nasdaq Capital Market by the deadline is particularly troubling, suggesting potential difficulties in raising capital or completing strategic initiatives.

While the appeal process provides temporary relief from immediate delisting, historical patterns show that companies in similar situations face challenging odds of maintaining their listing status. A potential delisting would severely impact trading liquidity and institutional investment accessibility, likely leading to increased volatility and potential value deterioration. The company's small market cap of $10.3M offers financial flexibility to address these fundamental issues.

DUBLIN, Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fusion Fuel Green PLC (“Fusion Fuel” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company received a letter (the “Staff Determination Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Staff Determination Notice noted that on May 8, 2024, the Staff had notified the Company that it did not comply with the minimum $10,000,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A), since the Company’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, reported stockholders’ equity of $3,022,125. The Staff Determination Notice also noted that the Company did not meet the continued listing requirements under the alternative standards for continued listing.

Pursuant to Nasdaq rules, the Company timely submitted a plan to regain compliance. Among other things, the plan had included the Company’s request to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market by November 4, 2024, which was 180 days after the date of the Deficiency Notice, the maximum number of days that the Staff had discretion to grant to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). The Company subsequently indicated to the Staff that it planned to satisfy the requirements to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market by the completion of certain transactions by November 4, 2024. The Company was unable to consummate these transactions by November 4, 2024.

The Staff Determination Notice stated that the Staff had made the determination to deny the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Staff Determination”). The Staff Determination Notice stated that unless the Company requested an appeal of the determination by November 12, 2024, trading of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants would be suspended at the opening of business on November 14, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company has submitted a request for hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Company’s hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
