Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split and Extension from Nasdaq Hearings Panel
NEW YORK, Aug. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBQ), a leading provider of next-generation data intelligence and advertising technology solutions, announces that it is implementing a 1-for-15 reverse stock split ("reverse split") of its common stock.
The reverse split is designed to maintain the Company's compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for listing its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq"). The Company filed an Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the reverse split with the New York Secretary of State on August 2, 2023. Mobiquity Technology's common stock will begin trading on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis as of the market open on August 7, 2023, under the same "MOBQ" symbol. The new CUSIP number for the common stock following the reverse split will be 60743F607.
As previously disclosed on June 1, 2023, the Company received a delist letter from Nasdaq, stating non-compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing, as specified in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). In response, the Company promptly requested a hearing with Nasdaq to present its plan to regain compliance.
Prior to the Nasdaq Hearing held on July 27, 2023, Mobiquity Technologies filed its second quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, demonstrating compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b) by exhibiting stockholders' equity exceeding the required $2,500,000. On July 31, 2023, the Company received a decision letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, granting the requested extension through November 14, 2023, to demonstrate long-term compliance with stockholders' equity requirements.
In response to this positive development, Mobiquity's CEO, Dean Julia, expressed gratitude to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel for providing the Company with the opportunity to present their long-term compliance plan and for granting the requested extension. Julia stated, "We are also happy to let our shareholders know that we will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market while we execute our plan. The Company remains committed to delivering value to our shareholders and maintaining our position as a superior provider of data intelligence and advertising technology solutions.
