Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On June 24, 2016, Medical Transcription Billing Corporation (“MTBC” or the “Company”) received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5810(b), as the closing bid price of MTBC’s common stock has been below the minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of MTBC’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MTBC”.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 days, or until December 21, 2016, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement, which requires the closing bid for the common stock meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period.  In the event the Company fails to meet this threshold it may be eligible for an additional 180 day compliance period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares set forth in Market Place Rule 5550(a) and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Marketplace Rule 5505, with the exception of the closing bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
