NEW YORK, April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XWELL, Inc. (Nasdaq: XWEL), an authority in health and wellness solutions for people on the go, today announced that it has received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has been granted an additional 180-days to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum Bid Price Requirement.
