RiskOn International, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROI) (“RiskOn,” or
the “Company”), today announced that it filed an appeal to
the Delisting Letter (“Letter”) received on December 1, 2023
from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). As previously reported,
on July 18, 2023, the Staff notified the Company that it did not
satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”) which requires that a listed
company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2.5 million.
The Company submitted a plan of compliance to Nasdaq to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule the (“Compliance Plan”),
which the Company subsequently revised, detailing the actions the
Company would take to regain compliance with the Equity Rule. On
December 1, 2023, the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq
(“Staff”) notified the Company that it had rejected the
Company’s Compliance Plan and would delist the Company’s common
stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On December 8, 2023, the Company requested a hearing (the
“Hearing”) before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel
(“Panel”) to appeal the determination by the Staff. The
Hearing has been scheduled for February 29, 2024. At the Hearing,
the Company must demonstrate its ability to regain compliance with
the Equity Rule, as well as its ability to sustain long-term
compliance with all applicable maintenance criteria.
The Hearing request stays the suspension of the Company’s common
stock and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s
decision, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on
the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ROI.” There can be no
assurance as to the success or outcome of the appeal to the
Panel.
CEO Randy May stated, “We are confident in our plan to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule, as well as our ability to maintain
such compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules on a long-term basis,
which we will present to the Panel at the Hearing.”
