Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2024, the Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Staff") notified Healthcare Triangle, Inc. (the "Company") that it did not comply with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Rule"); and post Company's submission of a plan to regain complianceon May 2, 2024, the Staff granted the Company's request for an extension until September 16, 2024 to comply with this requirement.
On September 3, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transactions and was unable to evidence compliance with the Rule. As a result, unless the Company requests an appeal of the Staff's determination, trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on September 12, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq").
The Company intends to submit a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 10, 2024, which request will stay suspension of the Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel's decision.
At the Panel hearing, the Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement. In the interim, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "HCTI" pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process.
There can be no assurance that the Company's plan will be accepted by the Panel or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company's common stock(s) are delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell the Company's common stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company's common stock could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company's ability to raise capital.
