| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 14, 2023, Quantum Corporation (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
On November 13, 2023, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC indicating that the filing of the Quarterly Report would be delayed due to additional time being needed to re-evaluate its application of standalone selling price under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606.
The Company intends to file a plan to regain compliance on or before January 16, 2024 in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the Quarterly Report’s original due date to May 7, 2024, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 26, 2023, on September 20, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), for 30 consecutive business days. The Company has until March 18, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement.
| Item 8.01 | Other Items. |
On November 17, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Notice. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
