Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 20, 2023, Clover Health Investments, Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock, which continues to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “CLOV”.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 17, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (unless the Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)) during the 180-day period prior to October 17, 2023.
If the Company does not regain compliance by October 17, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects (and meets the listing standards) to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares as well as all other standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company fails to regain compliance during the compliance period (including a second compliance period provided by a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market, if applicable), then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist its Common Stock, at which point the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will consider all available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which may include seeking stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second 180-day period to regain compliance, maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements or be successful in appealing any delisting determination.
