Yoshiharu Challenges Nasdaq Delisting with an Appeal
Yoshiharu Faces Delisting Notice from Nasdaq
Yoshiharu Global Co. (NASDAQ: YOSH) is no stranger to challenges in the competitive dining industry. Recently, the company announced that it has received a notice indicating that it risks being delisted from the Nasdaq stock market. This notice is due to non-compliance with a specific financial rule concerning stockholder equity.
Understanding the Compliance Issue
On the 18th of February, Yoshiharu was formally notified by Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Staff regarding its non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). This rule mandates that companies maintain stockholders' equity of at least $2,500,000 to continue their listing. Unfortunately, Yoshiharu has been unable to meet this requirement, leading to the scheduled delisting of its shares.
Yoshiharu's Plan of Action
The company had previously been granted a chance to remedy this situation. They submitted a plan to Nasdaq outlining how they intended to regain compliance, a plan that was accepted with the requirement of achieving compliance by the 17th of February. However, Yoshiharu did not meet the necessary conditions within that period, and this has left the company without eligibility for another extension to rectify its standing.
Next Steps for Yoshiharu
According to Nasdaq regulations, the company has until the 25th of February to request a hearing to contest the delisting decision. Yoshiharu plans to exercise this option, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining their presence on the stock exchange.
