Midland States Bancorp Faces Compliance Notification from Nasdaq
Midland States Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSBI) has recently made headlines as it received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding a compliance issue. This notification was expected, as it pertains to the company's failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter that ended on June 30, 2025.
Understanding the Nasdaq Notification
The notification letter, received on August 19, 2025, indicates that Midland States Bancorp did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). This rule mandates that companies must submit all required periodic reports in a timely manner. The Company had filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing on August 12, 2025, explaining the circumstances surrounding the delayed filing.
Interestingly, this notification does not result in any immediate changes to the listing or trading of the company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, providing a sense of temporary stability amidst the compliance challenge.
Steps to Regain Compliance
Per Nasdaq’s regulations, the Company has until October 18, 2025, to submit a plan outlining how it intends to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. The Nasdaq has the authority to offer an extension of up to 180 days—from the due date of the delayed Form 10-Q, allowing the Company until February 26, 2026, to meet compliance standards.
Implications of Delayed Filings
The delay in filing the Quarterly Report was influenced by prior complications. The Company had already disclosed difficulties in submitting its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024. This report was eventually filed on July 1, 2025, with the necessary disclosures regarding a restatement of financial statements.
This restatement affected the Quarterly Report for the period concluding March 31, 2025, which was filed later on August 8, 2025. The Company aims to submit its Form 10-Q as soon as possible to resolve these ongoing issues.
