PERTH, Australia, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Locafy Limited (Nasdaq: LCFY, LCFYW) (“Locafy” or the “Company”), a globally recognized software-as-a-service technology company specializing in local search engine marketing, received a letter (the “Letter”) on March 21, 2023 from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it failed to maintain the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
Based upon the reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $845,407 in the Company’s recent quarterly earnings report on Form 6-K for the period ended December 31, 2022, Locafy did not meet the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement of a minimum of $2,500,000. Also, as of March 21, 2023, Locafy did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations (the “Alternative Compliance Standards”).
The Company has a period of 45 calendar days from the date of the Letter, or until May 5, 2023, to submit a plan (the “Plan”) to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement or the Alternative Compliance Standards. If the Plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Letter for the Company to regain compliance.
The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of Locafy’s common stock and warrants, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other listing standards, under the symbols “LCFY” and “LCFYW,” respectively.
