PicoCELA (Nasdaq: PCLA), a Tokyo-based enterprise wireless mesh solutions provider, has received a notification from Nasdaq on April 22, 2025, regarding non-compliance with minimum bid price requirements.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), PCLA has been granted a 180-day compliance period until October 20, 2025, to regain compliance by achieving a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. The company may consider implementing a reverse stock split, which must be completed at least 10 business days before the deadline. Failure to comply could result in delisting, though the company's current operations remain unaffected.

Insights

Nasdaq's minimum bid price deficiency notification puts PCLA at risk of delisting if $1.00 threshold isn't regained within 180 days.

PicoCELA has received a deficiency notification from Nasdaq for failing to maintain the required minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The company's ADS price remained below this threshold for 30 consecutive business days, triggering regulatory intervention under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

This notification initiates a standard regulatory process that gives the company 180 calendar days (until October 20, 2025) to regain compliance. To satisfy requirements, PCLA must achieve a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. The company has explicitly stated that its operations are not affected by this notification.

The remediation options available to PicoCELA include monitoring its share price for natural recovery or implementing a reverse stock split. If choosing the latter strategy, the company must complete this action no later than ten business days before the compliance deadline. A reverse split would reduce the number of outstanding shares while increasing the price per share proportionally, without changing the company's overall market value.

Should PicoCELA fail to regain compliance by the October deadline, there are two potential outcomes: the company may qualify for an additional compliance period, or it could face delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting would likely result in the shares trading on less prestigious over-the-counter markets, potentially reducing liquidity and institutional investor interest.

This type of notification is relatively common among smaller Nasdaq-listed companies and represents a regulatory challenge rather than an immediate crisis. Many companies successfully navigate this process through share price recovery or corporate actions.

TOKYO, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PicoCELA Inc. ("PicoCELA" or the "Company," Nasdaq: PCLA), a Tokyo-based provider of enterprise wireless mesh solutions, today announced that the Company received a letter (the "Notification Letter") from the Listings Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on April 22, 2025, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq. This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure upon the receipt of a deficiency notification.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share and 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 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") for the 30 consecutive business days from March 10, 2025 to April 21, 2025, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

The Notification Letter does not impact the Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until October 20, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company's ADSs must have a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split in order to regain compliance, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to October 20, 2025. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by October 20, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.

The Company's operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letter. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse share split of its outstanding ADSs, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
