ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regional Health Properties, Inc. (“Regional” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: RHE) (NYSE American: RHE-PA), a self-managed healthcare real estate investment company that invests primarily in real estate purposed for senior living and long-term care, made an announcement concerning the Company's noncompliance with the continued listing standards of NYSE American LLC (the "Exchange").

On May 24, 2022, the Company received an official notice of noncompliance from the Exchange stating that the Company is not in compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards under the timely filing criteria outlined in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) because the Company failed to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022 (the "Delayed Form 10-Q"), which was due to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than May 23, 2022 (the “Filing Delinquency”).

For the reasons previously disclosed in its Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 17, 2022, the Company has not timely filed the Delayed Form 10-Q because additional time is needed to finalize the Delayed Form 10-Q and furnish the XBRL Interactive Data File exhibits required by Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K. The Company is actively working to complete the Delayed Form 10-Q and intends to file the Delayed Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), within the next thirty (30) days.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company has become subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1007 of the Company Guide. During the six-month period from the date of the Filing Delinquency (the “Initial Cure Period”), the Exchange will monitor the Company and the status of the Delayed Form 10-Q and any subsequent reports until the Filing Delinquency is cured. If the Company fails to cure the Filing Delinquency within the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company’s securities to be traded for up to an additional six-month period (the “Additional Cure Period”), depending on the Company’s specific circumstances. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1010 of the Company Guide.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Exchange may in its sole discretion decide (i) not to afford the Company any Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, at all or (ii) at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, to truncate the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be. Furthermore, the Exchange may immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the Company is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the Company Guide, including if the Exchange believes, in its sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of the Company’s securities on the Exchange is inadvisable or unwarranted in accordance with Sections 1001-1006 of the Company Guide.

In the interim, the Company’s securities will continue to be listed on the Exchange, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements, and the Company’s common stock and preferred stock will continue to trade under the symbols “RHE” and “RHE PRA,” respectively. The Exchange will make a late filer (“.LF”) indicator available on the consolidated tape. Each data vendor that disseminates the quotes and trades of Exchange-listed issuers may append this indicator to the ticker symbols of the Company. Each vendor is free to use an indicator of its own choosing so the letter or symbol used to indicate this status may differ from vendor to vendor. The Exchange also publishes a list of noncompliant issuers and displays the .LF indicator on its website.

The Company’s filings with the SEC are available free of charge at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
