SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewAge, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBEV), a direct-to-consumer (D2C) healthy products company, today announced that it has received a written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on February 24, 2022, indicating that NewAge, Inc. (the “Company”) is not in compliance with the $1.00 closing bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company's common shares for the 30 consecutive business days from January 11, 2022 to February 23, 2022, the Company no longer met the minimum bid price requirement.

The Nasdaq notification does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock, and NewAge’s common stock will continue to trade uninterrupted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NBEV.” The Company's business operations are not affected by the receipt of the notification letter.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until August 23, 2022, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, during which time the Company's common shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To regain compliance, the Company's common shares must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the initial deadline, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse stock split, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
