NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waldencast plc (NASDAQ: WALD) (“Waldencast” or the “Company”), a global multi-brand beauty and wellness platform, today announced that it received written notice that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) granted the Company’s previously announced request to extend the stay of the suspension of the Company’s securities at least pending completion of the hearing process. Accordingly, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) issues a final decision regarding the Company’s listing status following a hearing scheduled for February 8, 2024 or upon receipt of confirmation from Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards (if earlier). Although the Company is continuing to work diligently to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as soon as practicable, there can be no assurance that the Company will have regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards ahead of the hearing, and if not, that the Panel will grant a further extension or that the Company will be able to timely satisfy the terms of any extension granted by the Panel.
