TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Dec. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ability Inc. (Nasdaq: ABIL) (the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative tactical communications intelligence solutions, today announced that it received a letter, dated December 23, 2019, from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC informing the Company that the Panel has determined to delist the Company’s ordinary shares from the Nasdaq and will suspend trading in the shares effective at the open of business on December 26, 2019.
As previously announced, on November 6, 2019, the Nasdaq informed the Company that it did not meet Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
The Company requested a hearing, which was held on December 12, 2019, at which the Company presented a plan of compliance and requested a further extension of time, but the Panel determined not to accept the Company’s request.
Nasdaq has informed the Company that it will file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission after applicable appeal periods have lapsed to notify the SEC of the delisting of the Company's ordinary shares.
The Company’s ordinary shares will continue to be listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The Company expects that its ordinary shares will be quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market, operated by OTC Markets Group, a centralized electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities.
