Enables Company to execute on strategic and commercial initiatives with the goal of meeting the minimum $1.00 price target
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Specialty cancer diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ:PRPO), today announced notification by the NASDAQ Stock Market that the Company has been granted a 180-day extension to allow the Company to meet the required minimum $1.00 per share closing bid price of its common stock for 10 consecutive business days for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange.
“These additional six months provide more time for our operational, commercial and strategic initiatives to materialize, and for management to build the value of the company,” commented Ilan Danieli, Precipio’s CEO. “We expect this to begin relieving the uncertainty we’ve observed from our numerous shareholder inquiries on the topic.”
Following its review process, Nasdaq determined Precipio is eligible for an extension of an additional 180 calendar days to allow it to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. Assuming that during this extension period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock meets the requirements of above $1.00 for the required minimum 10 consecutive business days, and provided that the Company meets all the other listing requirements, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation that it is compliant with its listing requirements.
